There’s nothing wrong with the Dallas Cowboys’ offense.
The same can’t be said about about the New York Jets on either side of the ball.
The Cowboys continued to pile on points Sunday in a 37-22 blowout of the New York Jets, who couldn’t get anything going against one of the worst defenses in football. It’s the third time in five games the Cowboys have scored 30-plus points in a 2-2-1 start to the season.

It’s the fifth time in five games the Jets have given up 27-plus points under first-year coach Aaron Glenn, who was hired in New York as a defensive guru tasked with changing the culture in New York. Instead, the season is likely already lost to an 0-5 start, the first by a first-year head coach in franchise history.

On Sunday, the Cowboys lit up the Jets with big games from running back Javonte Williams (135 rushing yards, 2 total TDs) and second-year receiver Ryan Flournoy, who nearly doubled his career receiving tally (137 yards) with a 114-yard game as Dak Prescott’s top target.
Jets make Cowboys’ defense look good
And for the first time this season, the Cowboys’ defense looked competent while sacking Justin Fields five times and holding the Jets out of the end zone until garbage time in the fourth quarter.

Limiting a Jets team that dropped to 0-5 with the loss won’t win over skeptics of a Dallas defense that entered Sunday last in the league in yards allowed. It only adds to more misery in New York for the start of the Glenn-Fields era.
The Cowboys kept pressure on Fields all day and looked little like the sieve of a unit that Dallas has fielded in the aftermath of the Micah Parsons trade.
The Jets scored a field goal on their opening drive. The rest of the half produced three punts, including two three-and-outs and a lost fumble by running back Breece Hall. A third-and-19 sack of Fields by James Houston early in the fourth quarter was indicative of the day for New York as the Cowboys put Fields in duress with a four-man pass rush.
The second half brought more of the same. New York’s first four possessions after halftime produced one punt, one field goal and two turnovers on downs.

The Jets didn’t find the end zone until 7:56 remained in regulation to cut a 30-6 Cowboys lead to 30-14. It added up to too little too late.
Cowboys keep cooking against flaccid Jets defense
New York’s defense, meanwhile, continued to offer little to no resistance. The Jets entered Sunday having allowed 34 points to the Steelers, 30 to the Bills, 29 to the Buccaneers and 27 to the Dolphins. They stood no chance against a Cowboys unit that led the league in total offense through the first four weeks of the season.
Even without injured star CeeDee Lamb (high ankle sprain), the Cowboys continued to operate on all cylinders as they piled up 416 yards of total offense. Dallas did it with a mix of sustained drives and big plays.

Williams gashed the Jets for a 66-yard yard run to set up a Cowboys touchdown with 15 seconds remaining in the first half.
Then in the second half, the Cowboys piled on with a 43-yard play-action touchdown pass from Prescott to George Pickens, who’s emerged as a No. 1 option in Dallas amid Lamb’s absence.
In the end, it was a largely mistake-free day for the Dallas offense, which didn’t turn the ball over and allowed just a single sack of Prescott.
The Jets, meanwhile, became the first team in NFL history to go the first five games of a season without forcing a turnover.
In Dallas, the strong effort on both sides of the ball provides hope that the season isn’t lost after a drama-filled first four weeks produced a single win in the aftermath of the Parsons trade.

For New York, things have gone from bad to worse as the Glenn-Fields era looks like more of the same for a franchise that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2010.

Raducanu retires from Wuhan Open first round
Emma Raducanu retired from her first-round match at the Wuhan Open against Ann Li as she appeared to struggle with the humid conditions.Raducanu was 6-1 4-1 down to Li when she decided to retire after a medical timeout, having looked almost dizzy at points in the second set. The British No 1 is the latest player to retire or withdraw from a tournament in recent weeks during the Asia swing with six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek criticising the "overwhelming" tennis schedule.Li, who will face Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova in the next round, said: "I want to wish Emma a fast recovery. It looks like she wasn't feeling good."It was a tough match last time, so hopefully she feels better. I'm happy with my performance, I stayed pretty solid for the entire match."

MILWAUKEE — Pete Crow-Armstrong crashing into the center-field wall as Jackson Chourio’s three-run homer rattled off the batter’s eye in center field felt awfully symbolic. In terms of both the game and the season for the Cubs.As a roar began to swell from the American Family Field crowd, much like in Game 1 of the NLDS, the Brewers were running away with it. But Chourio’s home run on Monday in Game 2 was not only a dagger in the Cubs’ 7-3 loss to Milwaukee. It also had the feeling of being a dagger in this series and the Cubs’ hopes for October, with the Brewers pushing Chicago to the brink of elimination.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I ruined the game,” Cubs starter Shota Imanaga said through interpreter Edwin Stanberry after allowing two homers in just 2 2/3 innings as Chicago fell into an 0-2 hole.

Como Bap e Landim levaram o Flamengo a ensaiar uma Liga que ganha força na união contra o clube
Então presidente do Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim ainda tinha Luiz Eduardo Baptista como aliado e vice-presidente de relações externas quando a diretoria rubro-negra tentou liderar o processo de implementação de uma liga no Brasil. O cenário era de domínio político da CBF e enfraquecimento progressivo dos clubes, quando os dirigentes rumaram para a sede da entidade, em 2021, e entregaram um documento para cobrar mais autonomia e melhorar o produto, a partir da aprovação da nova Lei do Mandante no mesmo ano. O grupo político rubro-negro ainda unido chegara a um consenso, com Bap e Landim juntos, de que com a nova lei e a liga o clube ganharia mais em valores absolutos, justamente pela maior arrecadação de equipes de menor expressão e torcida. Antes, a lei dava ao Flamengo o controle de 38 jogos do Brasileiro. Agora, um novo contrato […]
‘Draper must have big ego in order to compete with Alcaraz and Sinner’
Jack Draper needs a "big ego" in order to compete with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, says Serena Williams' former coach Patrick Mouratoglou.Draper initially called time on his season as he nurses an arm injury, but the British No 1 is now set to make a comeback before the year's end after agreeing to participate in the UTS Grand Final in December. The unique event, which ditches traditional tennis rules, is the brainchild of legendary Frenchman Mouratoglou, who has coached the likes of Laura Robson, Grigor Dimitrov and more recently Naomi Osaka. Image: Mouratoglou and Naomi Osaka split in late July 2025, ending their 10-month partnership Total dominance Since 2024, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have won 16 of the 17 tournaments where both of them played the same event:2024Australian Open -🏆Indian wells -🏆Miami -🏆Madrid - ❌French Open -🏆Wimbledon -🏆Cincinnati […]

Universal Story and Tamaris chase hat-trick bids
We have a busy day’s racing on Tuesday with flat action from Brighton and Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing...7.30 Southwell - Universal Story and Tamaris look to complete hat-tricksUniversal Story and Tamaris both look to complete their hat-tricks in the attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap. Jennie Candlish's filly Universal Story is up six-pounds for her previous two wins at Newcastle and round here eight days ago, latterly looking a much improved model, winning eased down at the line suggesting there's still more to come.Tamaris hasn't been seen since impressing at Wolverhampton last April and clearly has had his issues but this prolific gelding knows how to win. It will be some feat if he's able to overcome this absence but shouldn't be ignored for the in-form James Owen team.Alfie D rates best of the remainder. 4.45 Brighton - Dinah Myte bids to […]
