The Patriots suffered a humiliating defeat to the Packers in Week 9, trailing only 10‑0 at halftime before Green Bay exploded in the third quarter. Drake Maye struggled, and New England’s defense delivered its worst performance of the season, with cornerback Christian Gonzalez surrendering over 80 yards to two receivers—Matthew Golden and Christian Watson—who combined for 187 yards. The loss underscores the Patriots’ gap from AFC contenders and raises doubts about their playoff prospects despite a possible 10‑7 finish. Fans note the only bright spot was the concurrent Colts‑Cowboys coverage, but overall the game was a “complete disaster” for New England.

Lone Star Ball runs a free‑agent poll on Jazz Chisholm Jr., focusing on his potential move to the Texas Rangers. After a 30/30 season and a career‑high 41 steals in 2026, Chisholm was left un‑qualified by the Yankees. The poll asks fans if the Rangers should sign him to a two‑year, $46 million contract with an opt‑out, noting his versatility at second base and center field. Various projections range from $40 million to $185 million, but the article leans toward the modest offer as most realistic.
A reunion between Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets looks doubtful, says Mets insider Chelsea Janes, who doubts the veteran would voluntarily return after blocking a previous trade from the Texas Rangers. DeGrom, a two‑time Cy Young winner, recently turned down a move to Atlanta and holds a no‑trade clause on his $185 million, five‑year deal (earning $37 million in 2027, with a conditional 2028 option). As the Rangers weigh roster changes after a disappointing season, deGrom, shortstop Corey Seager and pitcher Nathan Eovaldi are all in trade chatter, but both deGrom and Seager have no‑trade protection, complicating any deal.

Week 6 of fantasy hockey sees Anaheim Ducks dominate, with Cutter Gauthier on a historic six‑game goal streak (13 goals, 44 shots) and Beckett Sennecke joining the double‑digit point club (10 points in four games). Seven teams, including New Jersey and Anaheim, go unbeaten, while four—Chicago, San Jose, Vancouver, Toronto—fail to win. Power‑play units for LA, Dallas, Anaheim and Utah hit a 50% conversion rate, boosting fantasy values. Meanwhile, goaltenders like Lukas Dostal and Scott Wedgewood struggle, and a long list of high‑owned players (Ovechkin, Tavares, etc.) register zero points. Shutouts are scarce, making Hellebuyck and Blackwood prized assets.
The Nets suffered a 130-93 defeat to Dallas on Nov. 9, and rookie forward Noah Clowney’s night epitomized the frustration, fouling out in just 7:47 with two points, no rebounds and zero assists. Coach Jordi Fernandez blasted Clowney’s early bonus trouble and urged him to channel his intensity, citing veteran Juwan Howard as a mentor. Clowney, who averages 5.1 fouls per 36 minutes (7th most league‑wide), sparked a scuffle with Morez Johnson that led to a technical on Johnson and a sixth personal foul for Clowney. Despite the turmoil, Fernandez says the team still needs Clowney, while backup Josh Minott posted a modest 10‑point fourth‑quarter effort.

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly ready to offload outfielder Jarren Duran this offseason, lowering their price after his slump to a .207/.266/.361 line in 2026, the second‑worst among qualifiers. At 30, Duran faces an $11.1 million arbitration salary and likely a fourth‑outfielder role, prompting Boston to favor a trio of Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu. Trade interest includes the Phillies, Cubs, Mariners and Rangers, but any return will be modest. The Red Sox must decide whether to tender, trade or non‑tender Duran.
Former Raiders coach Antonio Pierce erupts on NFL Today+ after the panel repeatedly steers the conversation toward the Dallas Cowboys. Growing frustrated, Pierce demands the show’s producer appear on‑air, slams the Cowboys as “underachievers” and urges coverage of other teams, notably the Giants—his Super Bowl‑winning squad now 5‑2‑1 atop the NFC East. The rant coincides with Dallas’s narrow 27‑23 win over the Colts, a performance that earned a modest C+ from CBS’s John Breech despite defensive improvements and a late surge from Dak Prescott. Pierce’s outburst spotlights the Cowboys’ disproportionate media buzz amid a shaky season, setting the stage for a must‑win clash against the 49ers.

The Dallas Cowboys snap a losing streak with a gritty 27-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but the win raises more questions than answers. Running back Javonte Williams rushes for 101 yards on six carries while CeeDee Lamb explodes for 195 yards on 10 catches, despite two costly pass‑interference penalties and a late fumble. Coach Brian Schottenheimer leans on a run‑heavy game plan, yet the offense stalls near the goal line and Prescott throws several off‑target passes. Defensively, Dallas forces four early three‑and‑outs and Quinnen Williams posts a career‑high 14 tackles for loss. Penalties and discipline remain concerns as the Cowboys look to build momentum.

Ty France, the 32‑year‑old first baseman who posted a career‑year with a .295 average, 21 homers, 72 RBIs and an AL Gold Glove in 2026, is drawing interest from multiple clubs. After signing a minor‑league deal with the Padres and earning $1.35 million, France delivered a .865 OPS, 141 wRC+, and +15 Defensive Runs Saved. With no qualifying offer from San Diego, teams can sign him without forfeiting a draft pick.
