After starting the season 0-7, the New York Jets finally won a game — and in wild fashion. The Jets defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 39-38 on Sunday, erasing a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Breece Hall rushed for two touchdowns and threw — yes, threw — the game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes. Jets quarterback Justin Fields, one week after being benched, threw a key two-point conversion to get the Jets within six points before Hall’s touchdown pass.

For Fields, it was something of a moment of redemption after a difficult week, and an even more difficult season. Earlier this week, Jets owner Woody Johnson slammed Fields and his team during league meetings after the team’s winless start, saying that wins were hard “when you have a quarterback with the rating that we’ve got.”

After Johnson’s comments, things got to the point that head coach Aaron Glenn refused to say whether Fields would be the starter despite backup Tyrod Taylor being out with a knee injury. But Fields had a much better game on Sunday, going 21 of 32 for 244 pass yards, plus a passing touchdown and the two-point conversion that turned out to be a difference-maker.

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated their NFC East rematch on Sunday afternoon, defeating the New York Giants 38–20 at Lincoln Financial Field in a game defined by explosive plays and a devastating injury to Giants’ rookie running back Cam Skattebo.

Philadelphia wasted no time seizing control. On just the second snap of the game, Saquon Barkley broke free for a 65-yard touchdown run, his first run of over 20 yards this season to give the Eagles an early 7–0 lead. New York answered with an 18-yard score from Skattebo.

Moments later, Barkley added a second touchdown this time on a 9-yard reception from Jalen Hurts to put Philadelphia back in front. But the mood quickly shifted when Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury on a short reception late in the half.

Hurts finished an efficient 15 of 20 for 179 yards and four touchdowns, spreading the ball to five different receivers. Barkley was unstoppable, totaling 150 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards with two total scores.

Dart was sacked five times and limited to 136 passing yards with one late rushing touchdown. Their run game mustered just 60 total yards without Skattebo, and New York’s depleted secondary couldn’t contain DeVonta Smith, who led all receivers with 84 yards.

A recent study has found that a Mediterranean diet combined with exercise can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in older adults. 

Participants following a calorie-reduced Mediterranean diet and engaging in moderate exercise had a 31% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes over six years compared to those who only followed the diet.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive oil. The study showed that participants in the intervention group also experienced modest weight loss and reduced belly fat, contributing to the decreased diabetes risk.

The research underscores the importance of combining dietary changes with physical activity and professional support for weight loss.
