Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett makes NFL history in loss to 49ers

The 2025-26 NFL season has been one to forget for the Arizona Cardinals. A 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday dropped Arizona to 3-7 on the season and has it headed toward another season below .500. There was, though, a bit of a bright spot in Sunday's loss. Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett set an NFL record that will be tough to match in the future.

Before Sunday, the previous record for completions in a game was 45, held by both Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. Ben Roethlisberger also completed 47 passes in a game, but it came in a postseason game, making it ineligible to qualify for history.

No. 1 Houston overcomes poor shooting for win over No. 22 Auburn

In a Sunday full of thrilling NFL games, there was also a top-25 men's college basketball matchup between the No. 1-ranked Houston Cougars and No. 22-ranked Auburn Tigers. The energy and thrilling finish matched that of a good portion of the NFL games on Sunday, and it was ultimately Houston that came away with a 73-72 win. The Houston defense managed several deflections and blocked shots in the closing moments that ultimately helped it clinch the one-point win. Houston prevails despite poor shooting Houston had a poor shooting day in most aspects of the game. It shot just 43% from the field and 29% from three-point range. Both of those numbers were season lows for the Cougars through four games. Despite that, Kelvin Sampson's squad found a way to come out of Sunday with its first top-25 victory of the season.

Hornets lose key starter in 11th straight loss to 76ers

Charlotte can ill-afford to lose Miller for an extended period of time this season, as he played in just 27 games last season due to a torn ligament in his wrist. Miller's early-season injury leaves the Hornets in an all too familiar place, with one of their stars injured in the early parts of the season. That was a significant reason the team won just 19 games last season. Standouts for 76ers The 76ers' second win of the season was headlined by standout performances from both Tyrese Maxey and Quentin Grimes. Maxey scored 28 points and added nine assists, while Grimes poured in 24 points in 30 minutes off the Philadelphia bench. What's ahead? Sunday, Charlotte will be in the nation's capital to finish off the second game of a back-to-back against the Washington Wizards. If Miller is unable to go, expect more minutes from backup guards Collin Sexton and rookie Sion James.
