| | | | | Not sure who has it worse. The Eagles' coach or Jags. The former got run out of Raymond James Stadium with Jalen Hurts in tow -- again. The other had a crucial AFC South victory in hand but gave it away in Houston. Maybe Doug Pederson, after he ends up unemployed, can get his old job back in Philly after Nick Sirianni gets whacked. ... UCF's season went from bright to bleak in a span of hours. Was that defensive performance against Colorado an anomaly or a snapshot of who they really are? Going to Gainesville and working over Billy Napier's team would be a good reset, but keep in mind the Gators have been a defensive open book which might not be an indicationof much. They also have a few offensive weapons who are dynamic and can make big plays like Colorado. ... No Nick Saban and Bama is back at No. 1. Can you believe it? ... The Dolphins can get themselves back on track with a MNF game tonight vs. Tennessee. ... Tom Brady had a great answer for Baker Mayfield's description of the locker room today vs. then. The GOAT was here to win a championship. He didn't have time to spare your feelings. Of course what the Bucs have now is "fun."

After getting blown out by the Bills on Monday, they had plenty of chances in this one. | | | | | The Knights continue to struggle applying pressure on opposing quarterbacks and miscues are becoming a troubling trend. | | | | | The Tide returned to No. 1 in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time in two years Sunday following its dizzying victory over Georgia, making this 16 of 17 seasons they've held the top spot at some point. | | | | | For the better part of three sweltering hours Sunday, Tom Brady was crisp, even clairvoyant.
