- Bears pulled out a 30-24 win — Caleb Williams was brilliant but the defense looked shaky and Johnson’s aggressive clock/play calls (and a risky long field goal) ultimately decided the game.
- Drake Maye still isn’t clicking with A.J. Brown, but he flashed with his tight ends (Eli Raridon’s TD and clutch Hunter Henry conversion).
- Luther Burden III broke out with 130 yards and a touchdown, showing the big-play upside the Bears hyped this summer.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Christian Yelich was named the Brewers’ first-ever team captain — teammates say the “C” just formalizes a role he’s filled for years.
- Players credit him with building the clubhouse culture and mentoring young talent, helping Milwaukee become a consistent contender since his 2018 arrival.
- Though his offense has cooled, Yelich’s veteran presence, humility and clutch October moments keep him central to the team’s success.
- Milwaukee completed a four-game sweep of the Dodgers after rallying from a 4-0 deficit — David Hamilton’s surprise ninth-inning homer clinched their first World Series trip in 44 years.
- This 2026 club isn’t a slugging team like 1982’s “Harvey’s Wallbangers”; manager Pat Murphy’s Brewers win with on-base play, speed, bunts and pressure.
- Still, timely homers from guys like Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Hamilton have come through in October, proving their small-ball approach can deliver big swings when it matters.

- Thursday Night Football: Bears vs. Patriots — rookie QBs Caleb Williams and Drake Maye face off under the primetime lights.
- NBA highlights tonight: LeBron and the 76ers vs. his old team the Cavs, and Nuggets vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Thunder.
- Tom Brady picked Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford as the NFL's "prettiest" passers, praising their spin, accuracy and "silky‑smooth" deliveries — calling them among the best ever.
- Both veterans are still making an impact: 42‑year‑old Rodgers remains productive (helping Pittsburgh to a strong start) and 38‑year‑old Stafford is driving the Rams and leading the league in yards.
- Brady pointed to signature throws you can bring up in conversation — Rodgers' Hail Marys and tight‑needle passes, and Stafford's no‑look/sideline‑deceiving throws (including the Super Bowl LVI connection to Cooper Kupp).
- Thursday Night Football: Bears host the Patriots in Week 7 — Caleb Williams is back for Chicago while Drake Maye arrives on a hot streak (big TD/low-INT production).
- Clash of styles — Chicago boasts the NFL's top rushing attack, while New England leans on the pass, setting up a classic run-vs-pass chess match.
- Defense and pressure could decide it — the Bears rank among the league leaders in sacks and both teams have kept opponents under 20 points per game, so who wins the trenches matters.
