- Star WR Davante Adams will miss 6–10 weeks with a ruptured hamstring after leaving Sunday’s game — a big hit to the Rams’ offense.
- Kicker Blake Grupe tore his ACL making a tackle and is out for the season, leaving the Rams short-handed after just signing him.
- The loss dropped L.A. to 2–4; they head into Week 7 against the Raiders amid growing injury concerns.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Florida State coach Mike Norvell blasted ACC officials after a late holding call wiped out a Hail Mary reception and questioned the review that ended the game, calling the penalty "an absolute joke" and saying "simultaneous possession" wasn’t discussed.
- Miami escaped with a 43-35 double-overtime win in a wild finish; the Hurricanes moved up to No. 1 while FSU pushed the game to the wire.
- The loss leaves Florida State 3-4; they have a bye this week before hosting Clemson on Oct. 31 — Norvell said he’s proud of the effort but tired of coming up short.
- Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days and fined €255 for leaving Portugal’s camp; the ban is backdated to Sept. 30 so he’s eligible again from Nov. 14.
- The fallout began after he was an unused sub in Norway and was told he’d play, then left camp when told he wouldn’t start against Denmark; Ronaldo apologized and asked to be sanctioned.
- Portugal have kept winning without him, and Ronaldo — still captain and the men’s all-time international top scorer — hasn’t retired from the national team.
- Falcons signed veteran QB Andy Dalton as a backup and released Cooper Rush, with Dalton joining Tua Tagovailoa as the top backups to starter Michael Penix Jr.
- Dalton, 38, is a longtime starter (84–83–2), three-time Pro Bowler and has nearly 40,000 career passing yards.
- Rush was 0–2 as Atlanta’s starter after being pressed into duty during Penix’s recovery; the Falcons are 2–4 and play the 49ers Sunday.
- Christopher Bell is now just five points behind Kyle Larson with three races to go — he says he's "absolutely in it" and feels Martinsville and Homestead suit him well.
- Talladega looms as a wildcard — Bell warned its higher crash risk and recent spoiler change could decide the title.
- Tyler Reddick won at Phoenix while Larson blew a tire and finished 34th, leaving six drivers within 56 points and the championship wide open.
- Victor Wembanyama is the clear favorite to repeat as Defensive Player of the Year (−360) after dominant rim protection and team defense last season.
- Chet Holmgren is the nearest challenger (+1200) thanks to his shot‑blocking and impact, but still a longshot on the oddsboard.
- Veteran threats and surprise candidates lurk — Rudy Gobert could chase a fifth DPOY (+3000), while disruptors like Ausar Thompson and defenders such as Evan Mobley could upset the race.
