- Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was ruled out with a concussion after a first‑half head injury at Arrowhead.
- With McConkey and Tre’ Harris sidelined, the Chargers are thin at receiver and will likely lean on Quentin Johnston.
- The loss keeps Los Angeles winless at 0‑5 while Kansas City improves to 4‑0 and tops the AFC West.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- The Giants benched Jameis Winston late in a 34-10 game after a rough outing, replacing him with J.J. McCarthy.
- McCarthy sparked a near 24-point comeback — 243 passing yards, a TD and 25 rushing yards — and looked like the offense’s best shot down the stretch.
- With Jaxson Dart lost for the season, the QB spot is wide open, and McCarthy’s burst gives New York a real conversation starter about the future.
- BYU pulled off a historic upset, beating No. 2 Notre Dame 28–24 and rising to No. 2 in the AP Poll — their highest ranking since 1984.
- QB Bear Bachmeier called it a personal revenge game, saying Notre Dame "disrespected" him during his recruiting visit.
- Bachmeier answered on the field — 23-of-36 for 224 yards, 45 rushing yards and two rushing TDs, including the go-ahead six-yard touchdown with 1:47 left.
- Caleb Williams was electric in his return — 30-of-36 for 305 yards and a handful of jaw-dropping throws that instantly reignited the Bears’ offense.
- Chicago nearly let a 31-7 lead slip late, but a strip sack of Michael Penix ended Atlanta’s comeback attempt in dramatic fashion.
- The Bears’ offense looks legit and suddenly dangerous in the division, but inconsistent defense (and special-teams miscues) could decide whether they actually catch the Vikings.
- The Giants benched Jameis Winston late and brought in recently acquired J.J. McCarthy, who threw for 243 yards and sparked a 17-point fourth-quarter rally but couldn't prevent a 34-27 loss.
- McCarthy was acquired from the Vikings for a 2027 fifth-round pick after Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury and has had mixed results as a starter in Minnesota.
- The quarterback spot is clearly unsettled — Harbaugh appeared to be evaluating McCarthy after Winston’s off day, so the QB debate in New York is likely to continue.
