SPORTS UPDATE
There was finally some shake-up atop the 2026 NFL Draft order Sunday. Three teams with two wins or fewer entering the day — the Saints, Jets and Dolphins — were victorious. The Giants and Raiders — both of whom have two wins — took this week’s opponents to the brink before succumbing to defeat. The Titans are the only remaining team with one win or fewer.
Looking ahead to Week 11, there are two games featuring opponents with three wins or fewer: Commanders at Dolphins and Cowboys at Raiders.
As a reminder, there are four teams — Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville — without a first-round pick in 2026 as a result of draft-day trades and the Micah Parsonsand Sauce Gardner deals.
