Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images Should the Ravens have gone for it on 4th and 2? The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Buffalo Bills 23-20 on Sunday after Bills kicker Tyler Bass hit the game winning field goal. Despite the heroics of Bass and the high level of play Josh Allen and the Bills offense exhibited in the second half, the attention was on the Ravens, and one decision in particular. The Ravens faced a 4th and goal from the two yard line with 4:15 left in the game. Baltimore would throw the ball, and Jackson would be intercepted. The Ravens star QB wouldn’t touch the ball again, and the Bills would win the game.

The Next Gen Stats’ decision guide had it as a “slight go”, with their odds of winning the game increasing by 1.7%. Football Outsiders’ Aaron Schatz said that the FO decision model had the Ravens with a higher win percentage on both going for it with a run and with a pass rather than a field goal. The Athletic’s Ben Baldwin’s 4th down decision bot had their win percentage higher if they go for it rather than kick a field goal. Harbaugh discussed the decision to go for it after the game: Coach Harbaugh on the decision to not kick a FG: pic.twitter.com/Rkapy4Ve5H.— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) October 2, 2022 On the surface it makes sense. You go for it and score a TD you force the Bills to drive the field and send the game to OT. Go for it and not get it, the Bills have the ball at the 2-yard line and have to drive the length of the field. Unfortunately, neither of those things happened. This isn’t the first time that the Ravens have gone for it in these critical moments. Against the Dolphins, the Ravens went for it on a 4th and 1 and were stuffed on a run. Even last year, the Ravens and Harbaugh went viral for asking Lamar if he wanted to go for it on 4th and 1, and they got it to put the game away. Long story short, if the Ravens and Harbaugh want to be the aggressive analytics team like they’ve shown then they have to do this. However, there are two schools of thought here. Going for it seems like the right decision on the surface. I mean, it’s 4th and goal from the two. If you can’t get two yards on the goal line then you need to reevaluate how you succeed in this sport. In addition, Lamar Jackson has played at an MVP level. You want the ball in your best player’s hands in these critical moments. The second school of thought here is kicking the ball helps the defense. I know it’s looked down upon by many in analytics, but having momentum and defenders seeing a lead on the scoreboard matters. It also changes the mindset of the opposing team seeing a tie game vs being down. Either way it goes, this was going to be a four down game for the final four minutes, regardless of whether the Ravens took the lead or tied. The Ravens’ offense collapsed in the second half, generating a -.255 EPA/play, 25th in the entire league on Sunday. Their dropback EPA was also 25th in the league in the second half on Sunday, so it does raise some concern that they try to throw the ball on the 2 yard line when they weren’t very successful offensively that entire half. In addition, on late downs in this game, the Ravens EPA per pass attempt was -0.17 and had a 43% success rate on third and fourth down. Their EPA per pass for the entire game was -0.16 and had a 26% first down rate. If they were going to go for it on 4th and 2, they probably should’ve run the ball. Considering the logic that Harbaugh applied, if they run the ball, it practically ensures that the Ravens either score or start backed up. Would I have gone for it in this situation? I think so. Running the ball gives them the higher chance to either score or pin them deep. However, a field goal would have been my second choice. Overall, football is cruel, and the split decision choices that go into making the decision to go for it or kick it not only affects the outcome of the game, but the locker room as well. Read More

While he would surely trade it for a win, Kenny Pickett nonetheless made history during his regular season debut. The Steelers' first-round pick became the first quarterback in NFL history to run for two touchdowns in his debut (h/t Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette). He also set an NFL record by throwing the most passes in a game (13) without one hitting the ground, via ESPN Stats & Info. Pickett replaced Mitch Trubisky as the start of the second half of Sunday's game against the Jets. His 1-yard touchdown run gave the Steelers a 13-10 lead midway through the third quarter. His 2-yard score on Pittsburgh's ensuing possession gave the home team a 10-point lead with 13:36 to play. Read More

A duo that had been declared winners of a fishing tournament series event were caught in a cheating scandal after a tournament official discovered weights stuffed inside their fish. Videos from the Lake Erie Walleye Trail Championship event show teammates Chase Cominsky, of Hermitage, Pennsylvania, and Jake Runyon, of Cleveland posing for a photo with fish just minutes before an official discovers something inside the animals. The two were the season’s leaders for “team of the year,” according to The Herald, a newspaper in Western Pennsylvania. Read More

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports The New England Patriots are bringing a familiar face back to Foxborough. The club is expected to sign veteran linebacker Jamie Collins to a deal, according to ESPN. The actual avenue that leads Collins initially back on the Patriots, however, is still a bit unclear as the team could either elect to sign him to the active roster or bring him aboard via the practice squad. Regardless of the road, it'll lead to Collins back with the Patriots for his fourth stint with the franchise. The 32-year-old was drafted by New England in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Southern Miss. He spent his first three full seasons in the league with the Patriots and helped the club to a Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seahawks in 2014. During his fourth season in the league, the club shipped Collins to the Browns in the middle of the season, in what was one of the more shocking trades of Bill Belichick's tenure. Read More

Exactly one year ago, the San Francisco Giants were crowned National League West champions. The Giants' division victory qualified as one of last season's biggest surprises. Although they hadn't posted a winning record since 2016, and although few folks outside of San Francisco had viewed them as a serious threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers entering the season, they nevertheless won 107 games en route to becoming the first team other than the Dodgers to win the West in nearly a decade. The Giants were fascinating for other, more granular reasons, too. They had seemingly discovered a way to help their veteran hitters turn back the clock, and they had proven adept at getting the most from a collection of bargain-bin pitching acquisitions. It reasoned that the Giants may have emerged as scouting and development maestros, a combination that made them a threat to once again overperform everyone's expectations this year. Read More

The 2022 Major League Baseball season has three days left. We've seen an incredible regular season and it's entirely possible the best is yet to come (can it be way better, please, Baseball Gods?). In looking ahead to the playoffs, one argument I've worked tirelessly to dispel over the years has been this notion that it matters how a team is playing late in the season. Historically speaking, there hasn't really been a correlation between finishing hot and winning the World Series, nor is there one between being able to rest all your players and going deep into the postseason. Generally, the arguments come after the results. If a team loses in the first round, well, it was because of how they finished the regular season, whether it was hot, cold, playing to the final day or having clinched for weeks. Read More

Every week of the NFL regular season is wild, there's no getting around it. In Week 4, we saw the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions combine for over 1,000 total yards and 93 points, the Las Vegas Raiders get their first win of the season against Broncos country -- which is not riding right now -- and the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints give us an unexpected thriller across the pond. If you're looking for the best highlights from NFL Week 4, then you're in the wrong place (click here). In this column, we break down the wildest moments from the week in the NFL. Through the first few weeks, we've talked about fights, UFO delays and all the lowlights that you secretly crave. Let's see what this past Sunday brought us. Read More

The NFL is still unpredictable through four weeks of the season. The Philadelphia Eagles are the lone unbeaten team at 4-0 and the Houston Texans are the only winless team through the first four games. The Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks are 2-2, the same record as the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers -- two preseason Super Bowl contenders. White the league is still trying to figure out who are the contenders and pretenders, there are plenty of overreactions after a Week 4 that saw crazy finishes and five games decided by three points. These are the best reactions from each game in Week 4, and whether these storylines are overreactions or reality. Read More

Four games in, the Panthers may or may not be ready to pull the plug on the Baker Mayfield experiment. Now 1-3 after Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals, Carolina hasn't gotten much production from the former Browns quarterback this year, and his two interceptions in Week 4 helped doom the offense. Afterward, coach Matt Rhule wasn't ready to predict changes at the position, but wasn't ready to rule any out, either, leaving the door open for Mayfield to be benched ahead of Week 5. "I'm going to refrain from anything big picture until tomorrow," Rhule said, per NFL.com. "At the end of the day, I'm on the headset, I see the things, I know that it's never just one person here, one person there, it's a lot of different things, so I'll try to give you a really well-thought-out answer after watching tapes. All that being said, I believe that we can play better than that. I just feel like we have to expect more from all of us as an offense, and it starts with me first. Read More

At Real Madrid's annual general meeting Sunday, club president Florentino Perez doubled down on the failed European Super League, saying it is needed for soccer to retain its position as the most popular sport in the world. Perez was one of the backers of the breakaway league that attempted to launch in April of 2021, and he believes that more matches between high profile European clubs is needed to keep growing the sport's overall revenue. Barcelona and Juventus have been the other three clubs to maintain public support for the project but Real Madrid are in a different position from the two. Los Blancos have relatively balanced accounts in comparison to Barcelona pulling financial levers to register new signings and Juventus reportedly not having enough money to move on from Max Allegri in the midst of a disappointing start to the season.

Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images Watt announced the issue on social media Sunday. Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt will play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, despite a heart issue he experienced earlier in the week. Watt announced the situation on social media Sunday morning: I was just told somebody leaked some personal information about me and it’s going to be reported on today. I went into A-Fib on Wednesday, had my heart shocked back into rhythm on Thursday and I’m playing today. That’s it.— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) October 2, 2022 According to the Mayo Clinic, atrial fibrillation (or A-fib), is an irregular and rapid heartbeat: Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. A-fib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. During atrial fibrillation, the heart’s upper chambers (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly — out of sync with the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. For many people, A-fib may have no symptoms. However, A-fib may cause a fast, pounding heartbeat (palpitations), shortness of breath or weakness. As Watt indicated, the condition can be managed via therapy to “reset the heart rhythm.” However, it still comes with risks, as noted by the Mayo Clinic: Episodes of atrial fibrillation may come and go, or they may be persistent. Although A-fib itself usually isn’t life-threatening, it’s a serious medical condition that requires proper treatment to prevent stroke. Last season, Watt missed ten games after suffering a severe upper-body injury. During Arizona’s game against the Houston Texans in 2021, Watt suffered a shoulder dislocation, a torn labrum, a bicep tear and a torn rotator cuff. He missed ten games, but returned to the field for Arizona’s Wild-Card game against the Los Angeles Rams. Watt notched three tackles in his return to the field that night. Arizona takes on the Panthers in Carolina this Sunday, hoping to get their second win of the season. Watt was inactive for Arizona’s season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He returned to the field for Week 2, recording a sack in Arizona’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Watt recorded his second sack of the season last week in the Cardinals’ loss to the Rams.

Getty Images Steven Adams has agreed to a two-year, $25.2 million contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Adams still had one year left on his deal, bringing his total compensation up to $43.1 million over three seasons. Adams joined the Grizzlies last season after a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans and immediately slotted in as their starting center. With him in the fold, the Grizzlies jumped all the way up to 56 wins and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Adams, widely viewed as one of the NBA's best teammates, seemingly played as big a role off of the floor in getting the Grizzlies there as he did on it. Read More

An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League last season found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players, according to a report released Monday. “Abuse in the NWSL is rooted in a deeper culture in women’s soccer, beginning in youth leagues, that normalizes verbally abusive coaching and blurs boundaries between coaches and players,” former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Q.

Icon Sportswire Coming into the season, we expected Melvin Gordon to be the obvious alternative in case something happened to Javonte Williams, however circumstances in Denver may have already changed by Week 4. Because, with Williams leaving Sunday's game against the Raiders with what would turn out to be a season-ending knee injury, it was Mike Boone who got the first opportunity for the Broncos. That's because Gordon's fumble issues cropped up again Sunday, leading to a defensive touchdown for the Raiders. Boone ultimately only ended up with three carries for 20 yards, but he still figures to be one of the most coveted players on the waiver wire heading into Week 5, given Williams' injury and Gordon's struggles.

Geno Smith is rewarding the Seattle Seahawks controversial decision to move on from Russell Wilson in a big way. Through four games, the Seahawks have the same record as Wilson's new team -- the Denver Broncos -- led by the excellent quarterback play of Smith. Smith leads the NFL with a 77.3% completion rate, the highest in league history for any quarterback after four games in a season in NFL history (minimum 125 attempts). Smith has completed 77.3% of his passes for 1,037 yards with six touchdowns to two interceptions for a 108.0 passer rating (which ranks third in the NFL). Smith is 12th in touchdown percentage (4.5), seventh in interception percentage (1.5), fourth in yards per attempt (7.9), and tied for 10th in touchdown passes (six). Read More

The upcoming NBA season should be an interesting one for power forwards. Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely be the consensus best fantasy option at the position for years to come, but impressive competition is emerging. Domantas Sabonis, Pascal Siakam, Karl Anthony Towns, and Zion Williamson are just a handful of the players who could explode with top-20 fantasy seasons at the four. Most bigs won't come close to posting the numbers those studs do, but there'll be top-notch value later in drafts. I've factored in offseason roster movement to choose a power forward sleeper, breakout candidate, and bust for fantasy managers to keep track of ahead of the season.

Russell Westbrook remains a member of the Los Angeles Lakers despite the team trying to trade him all summer. Finding a team willing to take on the $47 million he's owed for the remainder of the season hasn't been an easy task for the Lakers, especially given his lackluster play in L.A. last year. However, in the days leading up to training camp Westbrook was almost sent to the Indiana Pacers in a deal that would've netted the Lakers both of Myles Turner and Buddy Hield, per The Athletic.

Another week of NFL action is nearly in the books with just the Rams and 49ers left to duke it out on Monday Night Football. So far, it's been a jam-packed slate that included several high-scoring affairs. The Lions and Seahawks combined for 93 (!) points, Bucs-Chiefs on Sunday night popped off for 72 total points, and even Chargers-Texans got north of 50. Will that continue in this NFC West showdown in Santa Clara on Monday? That remains to be seen, but a rematch of last year's NFC title game is appointment viewing regardless of how many times these teams hit paydirt. As we wait for that game to kick off, it's never too early to take a look at what's to come in Week 5. Below, we'll take our first glimpse of these matchups and get our impression of the opening lines for these games to see if there is anything they can tell us about who the oddsmakers see coming out on top.
