After a barren first half amid pouring rain in Kolkata, ATK surged to a 2-0 lead through two penalties, both converted by star striker Roy Krishna (57’, 71’).

The win sees ATK surge to the top of the standings with nine points from four games while Jamshedpur remain fourth with seven points on the Hero Indian Super League ladder....

New to the desk is Kenny Smith, joining his colleagues from the award-winning program “Inside the NBA” on TNT. Only Charles Barkley is missing, and it’s unlikely he would ever be willing to participate in the game in that capacity, as he continues to refuse even signing on for inclusion on any classic teams.

Balotelli’s hilarious Rodgers dig Luciano Spalletti’s men, who had Antonio Rudiger sent off in the final stages of the Derby della Capitale last week, were on the receiving end of a 3-1 defeat to their bitter rivals. Now, just days later, three dummies have found hanging in the streets of the Italian capital, donned in the jerseys of Daniele De Rossi, Radja Nainggolan and Mohamed Salah.

So here’s what I took away from week one: Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs Clyde Edwards-Helaire makes this KC offense unfair This physicality and ability to break tackles is scary, when you think about how dynamic the Chiefs are with Patrick Mahomes and all those guys streaking downfield.

Tom Brady and company handed the Steelers an embarrassing 33-3 loss in the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the year. Brady threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns on 24-of-36 passing while Ben Roethlisberger couldn’t get anything going for Pittsburgh. The win showed how dangerous New England can be, even without its newest star. On the other hand, the loss exposed what can happen when teams lose their biggest names....

It wasn’t. The Patriots started fast and coasted to a 33-0 rout of the Jets to remain undefeated and drop New York to a 1-5 record. New England, off to its third-ever 7-0 start — the others coming in 2007 and 2015 — completed a season sweep of the Jets and again didn’t allow an offensive score — let alone any score. Tom Brady was Tom Brady, New England’s defense played lights out and Sam Darnold had a disappointing follow up after returning as the Jets quarterback a week ago....

The Mountaineers have dropped three straight Big 12 games and are also coming off a bye.
