- Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 2 with a glute injury but avoided IR, and backup Drew Lock — who led a strong relief comeback — is expected to fill in short-term.

The news, distilled into what matters.
- Tom Brady says “never count” the Chiefs, ranking them No. 7 and declaring Patrick Mahomes is “back” — praising his leadership and noting he relates to Mahomes’ ACL comeback.
- Mahomes finished 15-of-27 for 184 yards (2 pass TDs, 1 INT) and added a 15-yard rushing TD — three total TDs in Kansas City’s 31–10 win.

- Casemiro added a late header to seal the victory, giving Miami another trophy after their recent run of Leagues Cup (2023), Supporters’ Shield (2024) and MLS Cup (2025).
- Tom Brady's back with his third-season power rankings — rules: you must've won Week 1, rankings reflect recent results (not upside), and complaints go to FOX's new show "Gronk & Jules."
