The New York Jets scored a touchdown on their opening drive of the game and never trailed en route to a 23-10 road win over the Tennessee Titans. 

Geno Smith waited 3,612 days for another start in a Jets uniform. He made it worth the wait.

Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards, providing the steady  hand the Jets (1-0) envisioned in a dominant 23-10 season-opening victory over the Tennessee Titans (0-1) at Nissan Stadium.

After a cautious first half in which Smith passed for just 90 yards, the Jets opened up the passing game after halftime. That helped set up a Breece Hall touchdown run.

Smith, who led the NFL in interceptions last season, was decisive and careful with the football. The Jets’ offensive line also gave him enough time in the pocket to find open receivers.

Hall was another catalyst for the Jets’ offense, rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. He looked very much like the player who recorded his first 1,000-yard season last year. The Jets finished with 152 rushing yards against the Titans.

The New York Yankees have some genuinely encouraging news regarding their captain. Yankees general manager and senior vice president Brian Cashman appeared on the MLB Network on SiriusXM Radio and provided an important update on Aaron Judge’s recovery.

After what has felt like an endless wait for positive developments, Judge has now cleared another major hurdle. It is the first good news for the captain since he went on the Injured List.

Judge has been cleared to resume activities now that his injury has healed enough to allow him to begin ramping up his workload.

This represents the first major step in what will be a gradual recovery process. The Yankees aren’t going to rush their superstar back onto the field, particularly after he has already missed nearly two months.

Cashman also revealed that Judge believes he will return this season, and the medical staff shares that belief.

For the first time in nearly two months, Yankees fans have a legitimate reason to feel optimistic about their captain.

Judge believes he’ll be back. The doctors believe he’ll be back. And now, the recovery process is finally moving forward.

The popular pizza chain will be dropping “pizza” from its name to go simply by “hut.” The temporary change coincides with the NFL season.

“You can just call us HUT for the next 25 weeks,” the brand wrote on a social media post that features a photo of one of their locations. The snap shows a banner with a football on it covering the word “pizza” on a sign outside the store.

The photo was taken at a Plano, Texas location, where the chain is headquartered, according to local outlet WFAA. The chain also updated its social media avatars with a logo sans the word “pizza.”

The changes come as Pizza Hut’s parent company, Yum! Brands, prepares to sell the chain to private equity firm Long Range Capital for a reported $2.7 billion.

In a press release, Yum! said it expects to make about $2.3 billion in net proceeds from both deals.
