Giants Defeat Patriots 10-7

This was anything but a pretty game, as two of the worst offenses in the NFL faced off. 

Giants’ QB Tommy DeVito sought to keep the momentum going following a great showing last week against the Washington Commanders. Patriots’ starter Mac Jones, meanwhile, was simply looking to keep his job for another week. 

While DeVito succeeded, Jones didn’t and was benched for Bailey Zappe.

Dolphins Roll Over Jets 34-13

The first half saw the Jets offense put up just 54 yards of offense and zero points on the way to a 17 – 6 deficit. The Jets defense held the high octane Dolphins offense to 10 points, picked off Tua Tagovailoa twice, and still the Jets trailed by double digits at the half. 

To add insult to injury, the Jets offense gave up a 99 yard pick six to the Dolphins on a Tim Boyle Hail Mary pass as time expired in the half.

The Jets offense had barely even moved the ball forward all game. The Dolphins opened the fourth quarter and quickly put up a touchdown. The rest was just garbage time.

The Jets controlled the ball on offense for the large majority of the fourth quarter, but they were unable to score until there was less than five minutes left in the game. Tim Boyle threw to Garrett Wilson for a touchdown but it was far too little, far too late. The Dolphins tacked on a late touchdown to make the final score Dolphins 34, Jets 13.

Henrik Lundqvist to the Hockey Hall of Fame

The star goaltender is being inducted in his first year of eligibility to the Hockey Hall of Fame. He’s sixth in NHL history in wins (459), ninth in games (887) and 17th in shutouts (64).

Those 459 victories are the most by a European goalie. The first Swedish goaltender to be inducted, Lundqvist won 61 more times in the playoffs before his career ended in 2020 because of a heart condition.
