An inside look at Sunday’s Giants-Rams Week 2 matchup at Sofi Stadium: Marquee matchup Giants rushing offense vs. Rams run defense The Giants want a repeat of their first-game production, as they gained 165 yards on the ground and averaged 4.5 yards a carry. The Rams do not want a repeat of their season opener, as they gave up 174 rushing yards to the 49ers and allowed a robust 5.8 yards per attempt. “I think we can play harder,’’ Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula said. “I think we can play better and we can execute better, really at all levels.’’…

Brittany Mahomes showed her husband, Patrick Mahomes, all the love ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s primetime game against the Indianapolis Colts. Brittany, 31, embraced her man while puckering up for the cameras inside Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, September 20, right before Patrick, 31, kicked off week 2 of the Chiefs’ 2026-2027 NFL season. The couple’s pre-game PDA is becoming something of a tradition for the pair, after Patrick and Brittany — who share daughters Sterling, 5, and Golden, 20 months, and son Bronze, 3 — kissed for the cameras during warmups at last Monday’s clash against the Denver…

PHOENIX — Add another concern to the Yankees’ already hefty list of them heading into the final week of the regular season. Clarke Schmidt, who returned from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, was warming up Sunday to make his second appearance before experiencing cramping in his right biceps, which ultimately kept him out of the Yankees’ 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. “Nothing structural, it was more precautionary,” Schmidt said. “Obviously given the circumstance, coming back from surgery, I don’t want to push through anything. All the testing was fine, nothing with the shoulder, nothing with the elbow.…

A representative for Scott “Carrot Top” Thompson is reportedly giving an update on the comedian’s condition as he remains hospitalized following an alleged suicide attempt. “Scott remains hospitalized and under close medical care,” Jami Schlicher, Carrot Top’s rep, told Entertainment Weekly in a Sunday, September 20, statement. “He is now awake, breathing on his own and continuing to improve, surrounded by his family and those closest to him.” The statement reportedly continued, “Humor has always been such an important part of who Scott is and how he connects with people, and that remains true today as he shares moments of…

TORONTO — Rebecca Allen’s patience is paying dividends. Allen went from struggling to crack the rotation early this season to starting in place of an injured Leonie Fiebich. That month as a starter helped Allen find her flow. Her confidence grew as she became more comfortable in the team’s system. The results have since followed. Allen is averaging two 3-pointers and converting at a 50.8 percent clip from deep in the past 15 games. She said she liked the sound of that stat when a reporter made her aware of it Sunday after the Liberty’s 106-69 win against the Toronto…

Fur-ever immortalized. Archaeologists have unearthed a mosaic a Roman household commissioned to honor its beloved dog and cat nearly 2,000 years ago. The artwork, believed to date to the late second or third century AD, was found inside the remains of a Roman villa beneath the ancient harbor city of Adramytteion on Turkey’s Aegean coast, according to Live Science. At the heart of the villa sat an expansive mosaic, measuring about 16.4 by 11.8 feet and made up of 15 individual scenes depicting birds, fish, felines and figures from mythology — including what appears to be the snake-haired Gorgon Medusa…

Self-proclaimed Swiftie Nikki Glaser called out Taylor Swift haters while praising the pop star’s husband in a new Sunday Night Football hype video. “When you’re on top of your game, everybody roots for your downfall,” the comedian, 42, says in the video, scheduled to air ahead of the Sunday, September 20, matchup between Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the Indianapolis Colts, per The Kansas City Star, the first outlet to report on the video and its contents. “People love a winner — until they win too much. People want dynasties to die and for chaps to become chumps. And when…

Vitek Vanecek is in the unenviable position of having his fate largely out of his control. The netminder, who signed with the Islanders on a one-year, $1 million deal this offseason, doesn’t need to beat out Semyon Varlamov so much as he needs the organization to decide that carrying a third goaltender on the roster is necessary due to the combined risk of Varlamov’s health and losing Vanecek on waivers. That was more or less acknowledged outright by coach Pete DeBoer following Sunday’s 2-1 preseason defeat to the Devils, in which Vanecek played the duration and turned aside 20 shots.…

Patrick Clancy addressed prevailing misconceptions, his silent conversations with his deceased children and the devastating wish he made shortly after his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy strangled their three young kids in his first sit-down interview with 60 Minutes following the controversial mistrial. “So, I didn’t have all the details of Callan’s condition,” Patrick said of the former couple’s youngest child while appearing on the Sunday, September 20, episode of 60 Minutes. “I just knew that they got a heartbeat back. So I remember … that night, I … really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. And I remember…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs thought they had beaten the Indianapolis Colts on a bizarre fumble in overtime Sunday night.  The Colts ended up with a chance to win instead, yet chose to play for a tie.  And once again, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of his crew made an opposing team pay for giving them one last chance.  After the Chiefs and Colts traded field goals in the extra session, Mahomes followed a couple of strong runs by Kenneth Walker III by finding his running back for a long completion, setting up Harrison Butker’s 40-yard field…
