Chiefs seize overtime!
This is The Sports Reset for Monday September 21st
In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Indianapolis Colts 33 to 30 in overtime. Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns, then Harrison Butker won it with a 40-yard field goal as time expired, moving Kansas City to 2-and-0. The Carolina Panthers also rolled past the Atlanta Falcons 34 to 3 as Bryce Young threw for 287 yards and three scores. In MLB, The Jays beat the Texas Rangers 7 to 2, with Nathan Lukes and Charles McAdoo driving in two runs apiece, but Toronto remains three games back of the final American League wild-card place with six games left. On the PGA Tour, Jacob Bridgeman closed with a career-best 61 to win the Biltmore Championship at 26 under, two shots ahead of Ben James. In WTA tennis, Clara Burel won in Valencia, Lisa Pigato took the Caldas da Rainha title in straight sets, and Samira De Stefano rallied past Mona Barthel to win in Ljubljana.
Looking ahead, the NFL nightcap sends the New York Giants to the Los Angeles Rams. Jaxson Dart threw three touchdowns in New York’s opening win, while the Rams expect Aaron Donald to return with Myles Garrett sidelined following knee surgery. In MLB, The Jays open in Baltimore against the Baltimore Orioles, with Trey Yesavage scheduled opposite Shane Baz as Toronto tries to keep its faint wild-card hopes alive. In WTA tennis, Kaitlin Quevedo meets Nadia Podoroska in the SP Open final. In NHL preseason action, the Ottawa Senators face the Montreal Canadiens at Kraft Hockeyville, while the Colorado Avalanche visit the Winnipeg Jets. Later this week, the Presidents Cup begins Thursday at Medinah, with Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor on an International team trying to end a 10-event American winning streak. Beyond the scoreboard, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow for the second time in two seasons, although initial imaging showed no fracture.
