Fueled by two game-changing special teams plays, a season-high 6-sack performance and some fourth quarter magic from RB Breece Hall, the New York Jets (2-7) topped the Cleveland Browns (2-7) on a rainy Sunday at MetLife Stadium for their second straight victory, winning 27-20.

Five days after trading cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in stunning moves, the Jets came off their bye-week break to win their second game in a row.

Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and moments later, Isaiah Williams brought back a punt 74 yards for a score. 

With the Jets leading 27-20, Fields scrambled on third-and-16 and Devin Bush was called for holding, giving New York a first down with 1:50 left at its 44.

QB Fields, who started again after seeming to have a tenuous hold on the job, was only 6 of 11 for 54 yards with the TD to Hall and his first interception of the season.

Local 802 Broadway musicians were thrilled to announce that they reached an agreement with the Broadway League that will avert a strike.

A potential strike that threatened to halt many Broadway musicals has been averted after the musicians’ union reached an agreement with the Broadway League. The American Federation of Musicians Local 802 and the Broadway League, a trade association for producers and theater owners, finalized the deal after an 18-hour bargaining session aided by a mediator. The agreement includes wage increases and enhanced contributions to the health fund, ensuring access to healthcare for musicians.

The agreement comes just days after the Broadway League reached a  separate tentative contract with the Actors’ Equity Association, the union representing performers and stage managers. The actors’ union’s deal includes a 3 percent salary increase each year over a three-year period, along with increased contributions to their health fund. 

The San Francisco 49ers fought their way to another victory, beating the New York Giants 34-24 on the road to improve to 6-3 and remain firmly in the NFC West race.

San Francisco came in with depth concerns along the defensive line and without Brock Purdy once again. And things looked on edge early, as the Giants had an early 10-play, 64-yard touchdown drive. That marked the second straight game the 49ers defense gave up an opening drive touchdown after not having one for the entire season before that.

But, the 49ers recovered after that with a strong start from Mac Jones, taking a 17-7 halftime lead before cruising in the second half en route to a blowout victory.

Christian McCaffrey eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the second time this season, while totaling over 170 yards and two touchdowns on the day.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions for the second consecutive year.

Miguel Rojas tied Game 7 in the top of the ninth inning, and both Rojas and Andy Pages made clutch defensive plays in the bottom half to keep the Dodgers alive.

Los Angeles defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games, silencing the Rogers Centre crowd and capturing back-to-back titles.

Manager Dave Roberts used six pitchers in the deciding game, including Game 6 starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Game 5 starter Blake Snell.

Ultimately, it was catcher Will Smith who delivered the biggest hit of the night. Smith’s solo home run in the top of the 11th inning gave the Dodgers their first lead, 5-4. Yamamoto then closed things out in the bottom of the inning, earning the victory for Los Angeles.

Despite throwing 96 pitches just one day earlier, Yamamoto came out of the bullpen to record the final 2 2/3 innings. He escaped a tense jam with runners on first and third by inducing Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk into a game-ending double play.

The New York Giants’ defense stumbled, as the Philadelphia Eagles rolled to a 38-20 win on Sunday afternoon.

— It was a scary scene in the second quarter, when Giants rookie sensation Cam Skattebo was carted off the field after suffering a gruesome ankle injury. He was later officially ruled out with an ankle injury, casting a major blow to the Giants’ offense.

— A pivotal moment came in the second quarter. With the game tied 7-7, the Eagles deployed their patented Tush Push to pick up the first down. As Jalen Hurts extended the ball forward, Kayvon Thibodeaux ripped it out for what should have been a Giants fumble recovery. However,forward progress was called, stopping the play and making the fumble not challenge-able. 

— Dart didn’t have a spectacular game, but he didn’t make any costly mistakes either. The Eagles defense got to him for 5.0 sacks, and Dart ended up throwing for 193 yards and a touchdown, while adding another touchdown on the ground.

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.

Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos almost blew a 19-point comeback Sunday afternoon. Somehow, they walked away with a 33-32 win over the New York Giants.

After trailing for much of the game, the Broncos came alive and scored 22 unanswered points to jump ahead late at Mile High Stadium. Quarterback Bo Nix rushed for an 18-yard touchdown with 1:51 remaining to put the Broncos up 30-26.

Dart then had a short touchdown run with just 31 seconds left. Kicker Jude McAtamney missed his second extra point of the day, however, leaving the Giants up by just two points.

That miss left the door open for the Broncos, who crossed midfield almost immediately and a field goal give the Broncos the wild one-point win.

In the end, the Broncos scored all 33 points in the final quarter. Each of their scoring drives took less than a minute of game time. 

Dart, who has given the Giants a jolt of life since taking over the starting job for Russell Wilson, went 15-of-33 passing for 283 yards with three touchdowns in the loss. He threw a bad interception late, which set up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Nix to R.J. Harvey to cut the score to 26-23 with 3:51 left.

In a game that saw the Jets and the Panthers play four quarterbacks, points were hard to come by on both sides as Carolina escaped MetLife Stadium with a 13-6 victory on Sunday. The Jets fell to 0-7 while the Panthers moved to 4-3 with their third consecutive win.

The Jets turned to backup QB Tyrod Taylor in the second half. With the Jets facing a 13-3 deficit, Taylor entered with 10:36 remaining in the third quarter. HC Aaron Glenn decided to make the QB change after Justin Fields went 6 of 12 in the first half for 46 yards and was sacked 3 times.

Backup Andy Dalton finished the game for the Panthers after Bryce Young exited with an ankle injury in the third quarter.

After the game, Glenn was non-committal on whom will start for the Jets next week in Cincinnati against the Bengals.

“I understand the nature of the quarterback change,” Glenn said. “We needed a spark. At that time, I felt like it was the right time to do it. Obviously, a tough situation for both of those guys. But it was my call and I felt like it was the right time to do it.”
