Bills stun Ravens with dramatic walk-off field goal after massive 4th-quarter comeback
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Another fantastic matchup between AFC heavyweights ended in thrilling fashion on Sunday night, as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 41-40, thanks to a walk-off field goal.
The Bills outscored the Ravens, 22-6, in the fourth quarter, and everything started turning the home team’s way at Highmark Stadium when Derrick Henry, who had a stellar night otherwise, fumbled with 3:10 left in the fourth quarter while Baltimore held a 40-32 lead.
After Buffalo’s fumble recovery, Allen found Jackson Hawes to set up the Bills on the goal line, and he leaped over his offensive line to make it a two-point game. The Bills, trying its third two-point conversion of the game, were unsuccessful for the third straight time as Keon Coleman couldn’t haul in the back-shoulder fade.

The Ravens, who couldn’t be stopped on offense in the first three quarters of this game, still controlled their own destiny if Lamar Jackson & Co. could get a first down. But the Bills, riding all their momentum, forced a three-and-out and Allen took advantage.
Allen was dissecting the Ravens’ defense, with the biggest play being a 32-yard strike to new receiver Josh Palmer to get into field goal range. On the very next play, Coleman made up for the drop in the end zone with a 25-yard catch-and-run to Baltimore’s nine-yard line with 46 seconds left to play.
The Bills were able to walk the clock down, and Matt Prater buried the 32-yard attempt to complete a miraculous comeback to begin the new season.

Allen, the reigning league MVP, racked up 394 passing yards and 30 rushing yards with four total touchdowns – two passing and two rushing – to start his season on the right foot. But this game appeared to be a story for Jackson and Henry after what they did against a Bills defense that didn’t have an answer until the very end.
Henry, who had almost 2,000 rushing yards in his first Ravens season in 2024, leads the NFL thus far in Week 1 after totaling 169 yards on 18 carries with two long touchdown runs. It was clear from the start of this game that Henry was going to pick up where he left off in 2024. The Ravens’ offensive line was making clear lanes at the line of scrimmage, and the bruising back didn’t waste them.

But Jackson was doing it all for the Ravens, too, as he scored once on the ground and was dishing out touchdown passes to Zay Flowers and DeAndre Hopkins, the latter of which being a highlight-reel snag. He finished the game with 210 passing yards with just five incompletions on his 19 attempts, while rushing for 70 yards and a score on six carries.
The Ravens scored on each of its first five possessions in this game, and it began after Allen and the Bills opening their 2025 season with a perfectly executed touchdown drive, where Dalton Kincaid hauled in a strike from Allen to make it 7-0 after the extra point. Baltimore was able to get in field goal range for new kicker Tyler Loop to bury a 52-yard field goal to notch the first of his career.
Once Baltimore forced a three-and-out, Henry ripped off a 30-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to give the Ravens its first lead of the new season. Then, on the team’s next possession, Henry almost took it to the house yet again, this time being stopped after a 49-yard gain on just the second play from scrimmage.
Two plays later, Jackson took the ball on a designed run to the left and was virtually untouched to make it 17-7 in favor of the road team. Buffalo would tally two more field goals in the first half to stay within a score, but Baltimore wasted no time when they got the ball back to start the second half.
This was the Flowers drive, as the leading Ravens receiver with 143 yards got 62 of those on back-to-back plays. First, a 39-yard catch-and-run set the Ravens up in Buffalo territory just outside the red zone. Then, Jackson wasted no time finding him for a 23-yard connection that blew the ball open, 27-13.

Allen, knowing the Bills needed to answer at home, dug deep and managed to go 60 yards on nine plays where James Cook, the league’s leader in rushing touchdowns a season ago, got his first of the new campaign from two yards out. The team’s two-point conversion failed, leaving the score 27-19.
Baltimore would continue putting pressure on the Bills, and perhaps the biggest score of the night was Hopkins, the newest Ravens receiver, showing off catching ability with a one-handed snag for a 29-yard touchdown on his first target with his new team.
Allen and the Bills responded yet again when they needed a touchdown, as the quarterback scampered into the colored paint from two yards out. But Buffalo was unable to convert their two-point try, leaving it a two-score game for Baltimore.

Henry, though, didn’t care for the “Bills Mafia” getting rowdy in the fourth quarter. The running back busted out a 46-yard touchdown run after Jackson’s 19-yard run, where he was about the same distance behind the line of scrimmage before making multiple defenders miss to keep the drive alive on third-and-10 with a first down.
But it was all Buffalo after that Henry score. They put together 16 unanswered points to shock Baltimore and start the 2025 season in grand fashion.

Craig Morton, quarterback who led the Broncos to their first Super Bowl appearance, dead at 83
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Denver Broncos quarterback Craig Morton, who was inducted into the team’s Ring of Fame, died on Saturday. He was 83.
Morton was critical in helping the Broncos reach their first-ever playoff appearance, ultimately getting them to Super Bowl XII during the 1977 campaign.
After going 12-2 during the season, and getting wins in the playoffs over the Pittsburgh Steelers and then-Oakland Raiders, Morton was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Year.

“Craig Morton is unbelievable,” fellow Ring of Famer Haven Moses said after the Broncos won the AFC Championship in 1978, per the New York Times. “To me, he’s the most valuable player in the National Football League.”
Morton also won Sporting News Player of the Year, the PFWA Comeback Player of the Year and the NFL UPI MVP in 1977.
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of #BroncosROF quarterback Craig Morton, who died on Saturday at the age of 83,” the Broncos posted on social media.
Morton also led the Broncos to two different division titles and three playoff berths during his six seasons with the franchise. He finished his career in Denver with 11,895 passing yards, which marked the most in franchise history at the time.

Morton also led the Broncos with pass attempts (1,594) and completions (907). But Morton’s time with the Broncos was the latter half of his NFL career.
He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1965, the fifth overall pick out of Cal. Morton spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Cowboys, where he threw for 10,279 yards with 80 touchdowns and 73 interceptions. He went 32-14-1 in his time with Dallas.
Then, during the 1974 season, Morton was moved to the New York Giants, a division rival of the Cowboys. He went 1-6 in his first seven starts that year and wouldn’t find much success in New York across three seasons.

For his career, Morton threw for 27,908 yards with 183 touchdowns. He owned an 81-62-1 record across 207 games.

Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza’s year couldn’t have been more perfect.
He led his Hoosiers to an unblemished 16-0 season, captured the national championship in historic fashion and won the 2025 Heisman before being selected first in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Raiders.
Now that the path is clear for a new athlete to leave NYC in December holding the Heisman, who will it be?

2026 Heisman Trophy Winner
CJ Carr (Notre Dame): +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Arch Manning (Texas): +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Julian Sayin (Ohio State): +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Dante Moore (Oregon): +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss): +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
Josh Hoover (TCU): +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Darian Mensah (Miami, FL): +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Jeremiah Smith (Ohio State): +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)
Gunner Stockton (Georgia): +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Sam Leavitt (Arizona State): +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Marcel Reed (Texas A&M): +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
Jayden Maiava (USC): +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
John Mateer (Oklahoma): +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total)
Here’s more on a few of the names on the 2026 Heisman oddsboard:
The Favorites: Carr and Manning are tied at +750 to win the Heisman Trophy at the end of the 2026 regular season. And the latter is no stranger to Heisman talk. He opened as the favorite for the 2025 Heisman at several books and right before the season kicked off, bettors were hammering Manning’s futures. The excitement over Manning was short-lived once his Longhorns went 4-2 to begin the season. If he is at least named a finalist, he would follow in the footsteps of his uncles and his grandfather, as both Peyton and Eli Manning, and their dad Archie, were Heisman finalists during their college careers.
Arch Manning is an early favorite to win the 2026 Heisman Trophy.
Ones to Watch: Ohio State teammates Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin are two players to watch for next season’s Heisman — especially because they were both in the conversation to win the award most of 2025. Sayin, in fact, was a Heisman finalist and finished fourth in the race with eight first-place votes. Smith didn’t make the trip to New York but finished sixth in the tally. FOX Sports college football writer RJ Young projects that both Smith and Sayin — as well as Manning — will be in the running in 2026.
Ohio State’s Julian Sayin could make another trip to NYC — but this time as the winner.
Heisman in Troy?: Could Maiava bring the hardware back to SC from NYC? Based on the early odds, he could have at least a slight chance. If the Trojans’ QB wins the most coveted individual award in college football, he’d be the first USC player since Caleb Williams (2022) to do so. Maiava finished the 2025 season with 3,711 passing yards and 24 touchdowns, as his squad ended the year with a 9-4 record.

Aaron Rodgers never met with Steelers despite rumor-filled weekend as QB’s decision remains up in air
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Aaron Rodgers didn’t make it back to Pittsburgh after all.
After reports surfaced this past Friday that Rodgers was expected to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in preparation for a return to the team he played for last year, many were hopeful the months-long wait was over.
However, during his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN this Monday, Adam Schefter said neither the Steelers nor his agent were aware of any such meeting being on the schedule.

But then, there were the reports about where Rodgers is in the world, with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporting that he was in the Steel City, though he wasn’t scheduled to visit with the team. A report from 93.7 The Fan added on, saying he was in town for golf.
Either way, the decision still lingers whether Rodgers will suit up for the Steelers, but the storied franchise gave themselves some insurance if the four-time MVP quarterback decides he wants to potentially play elsewhere.
STEELERS OWNERSHIP HOPES FOR CLARITY ON AARON RODGERS’ FUTURE ‘IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO’
The Steelers used an unrestricted free-agent tender on Rodgers last month, which allows Pittsburgh the right to match any offer Rodgers may get from another team.
Despite doubt from some camps on Rodgers’ potential return, Schefter noted his belief he will be in the Steelers’ depth chart come training camp. The Steelers have their OTAs scheduled to begin next Monday.

With Rodgers at the helm this past season, the Steelers went 10-7, even earning a playoff berth after Baltimore Ravens rookie Tyler Loop’s now-infamous game-winning field goal did not get through the uprights. The Steelers ended up losing to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round, extending the team’s playoff winless streak to eight straight seasons, including three consecutive campaigns.
Rodgers, who’s slated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame once he decides to call it quits for his career, threw for 3,322 yards with 24 touchdowns to seven interceptions in 16 games for Pittsburgh in 2025.

The Steelers also revamped their team for this season, as Mike McCarthy, Rodgers’ old head coach with the Green Bay Packers, takes over for Mike Tomlin, whose generational run in Pittsburgh ended after 19 seasons (2007-25). While D.K. Metcalf and Rodgers built chemistry this past season, the Steelers also added veteran receiver Michael Pittman Jr. in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts, while adding Alabama’s Germie Bernard in the 2026 NFL Draft.

And while Kenneth Gainwell is gone after a solid performance with Pittsburgh, Rico Dowdle comes into the fold to work alongside Jaylen Warren at running back.
Yet, the biggest question in football still remains: will Rodgers be a part of these new-look Steelers in 2026?
