Sunday Sports Update
Top left: The last time the Buffalo Bills faced the Baltimore Ravens, the Bills' defense harassed quarterback Lamar Jackson and kept him out of the end zone in a 17-3 win in the 2020 AFC Divisional Playoffs. The circumstances are different today, with today's matchup between the two teams taking place in Baltimore, but containing Jackson will still be a key for the Bills' defense. Jackson has had a hot start to the season with 10 passing touchdowns and a pair of rushing touchdowns, and he leads all NFL quarterbacks with 243 rushing yards.

The NFLPA says the consultant made "several mistakes" in his evaluation. Tagovailoa, who suffered a head injury last Sunday, was cleared to return in the second half of the Dolphins' 21-19 win and was cleared to play against Cincinnati. He left Thursday's game after suffering another head injury while getting sacked and did not return. Photo by USA Today
Bottom left: Will Aaron Judge get his 62nd home run today? He remains on 61 homers for the season after going 0-for-2 at the plate in the New York Yankees' 8-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. Judge struck out twice and walked twice in the contest. He needs just one more long ball to set a new single-season American League record. Photo by USA Today
