Happy Monday everyone, it’s Shanna McCarriston here, back with a newsletter filled to the brim with sports news to start your work week. This weekend, in between watching games, my fiance and I continued to wedding plan, with the countdown now at seven months. Earlier spoiler from the big day: Our signature drinks will be sports themed. <\/p>\n

But there’s a lot of actual sports news to get to, so let’s get into it. The MLB postseason is in full swing, the NFL gave us exciting games as usual, college football saw wild upsets and the WNBA Finals continues to lean in favor of the Aces. <\/p>\n

Here’s a look at everything that went on this weekend: <\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd15 Five things to know Monday Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was stabbed, subsequently arrested on multiple charges.\u00a0Indianapolis Police arrested\u00a0Sanchez on charges of battery<\/a>\u00a0and other misdemeanors while being treated in the hospital after being stabbed following a fight early Sunday morning. The bizarre incident took place ahead of the Colts-Raiders game Sanchez was in town to work. Sanchez, 38, taken out of USC with the fifth pick in 2009 draft, started four years for the Jets and played eight NFL seasons.
Penn State, Texas fall out of AP’s Top 25. Entering the college football season, the Longhorns were the preseason No. 1 and the Nittany Lions sat at No. 2, but after previous losses and then defeats at the hands to unranked teams on Saturday, both schools find themselves outside the AP’s Top 25 this week<\/a>. And our John Talty asks if Penn State coach James Franklin would just be better off resigning<\/a>.The Super Bowl champs suffered their first loss of the season.\u00a0The Eagles gave up a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter and\u00a0lost to the the visiting Broncos<\/a>, 21-17. Clearly, there would be no ‘A’ for Philly this week after John Breech’s grades<\/a>, and the overreactions to the Eagles’ loss<\/a> will make for tasty conversations today as the offensive struggles of the defending Super Bowl champs continue.The Aces took a 2-0 lead over the Mercury in the WNBA Finals.\u00a0Host\u00a0Las Vegas dominated Phoenix, 91-78, in Game 2 of the best-of-seven series<\/a>. Jackie Young had a stand-out game, setting a Finals record with 21 points in the third quarter and finishing with 32 points, tying her career high. A’ja Wilson also made an impact on the game with 28 points, 14 rebounds and three assists. Game 3 is set for Wednesday night in Phoenix.Alex Pereira defeated Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, avenging his March loss. The\u00a0light heavyweight title swapped hands<\/a>\u00a0for the second straight fight when Pereira knocked out Ankalaev in the first round of their main event on Saturday night.\u00a0 \u26be Yankees roughed up again by Blue Jays in ALDS

It doesn’t matter who you are, allowing 23 runs over two days is a sure-fire way to lose a series. The\u00a0Blue Jays, who entered the Sunday up 1-0 in their ALDS against the Yankees, extended their series lead with a dominant 13-7 win<\/a>\u00a0at home. In the victory, Toronto rookie right-hander\u00a0Trey Yesavage\u00a0struck out 11 and didn’t allow a hit<\/a>\u00a0in 5 \u2153 innings, a franchise record in a playoff game. <\/p>\n

In the other AL contest, the\u00a0Mariners\u00a0evened up their series with the Tigers at 1-1. Seattle’s 3-2 win over Detroit marked the Mariners first home playoff win since 2001.\u00a0Tarik Skubal’s\u00a0Kryptonite was\u00a0Jorge Polanco, who homered off him twice. Polanco is the first player to homer on the Cy Young winner twice since 2021. <\/p>\n

Both NL series resume today. The reigning world champion Dodgers will try to take a 2-0 lead on the Phillies in Philadelphia and the Brewers will look to do the same against the visiting\u00a0Cubs. <\/p>\n

Week 6 in college football saw some historic upsets, including the previously winless\u00a0UCLA\u00a0defeating\u00a0Penn State, 42-37. Per CBS Sports Research, this was only the fifth time, and first time since 1985, an 0-4 or worse team defeated an AP top-10 team. Penn State is now out of the top 25. <\/p>\n

Unranked\u00a0Florida\u00a0as also upset the No. 9 Longhorns as\u00a0Texas\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Arch Manning\u00a0struggled. Texas is no longer ranked. With Penn State and Texas losing,\u00a0Miami\u00a0takes over the\u00a0top seed in the College Football Playoff bracket.\u00a0<\/a> <\/p>\n

Heading into Week 4, there were two unbeaten teams in the NFL. Now, heading out of Week 4, there are none.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Sunday’s NFL action ended with\u00a0an upset in a divisional game between the\u00a0Bills\u00a0and\u00a0Patriots<\/a>. The\u00a0Bills, who were 3-0 before the game, lost 23-20 in front of a Buffalo crowd. The home team didn’t do themselves any favors as they had three turnovers to New England’s one. <\/p>\n
