With their split of Monday’s doubleheader over the Braves, the Mets are in the playoffs for the second time in three years. After a brief 24 hour respite, the Mets return to Milwaukee and the not so friendly confines of American Family Field to play the Brewers in a three-game Wild Card series. 

The games air on ESPN. Broadcasting the game will be Jon Sciambi, Doug Glanville, and Jesse Rogers. The game will also available on the ESPN app and on ESPN+. 

The Mets’ usual television home, SNY, will feature extensive pre and post-game shows before and after each playoff game. 

The Mets’ home radio broadcast will be anchored by Howie Rose, alongside Keith Raad, with Pat McCarthy doing pre and post-game coverage on 880 AM locally and via the Audacy app through the Audacy Mets Radio Network.

The Broncos did it again. A week after dominating the Buccaneers, 26-7, in Tampa Bay, Denver went into East Rutherford and pulled off a massive 10-9 upset over QB Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

The Jets had 10 days off to prepare and still looked rusty on offense in a rain-filled contest in the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon.

A week after their best performance of the young season, this was clearly the worst all around performance from Gang Green.

After having negative seven passing yards at halftime, it was clear that Broncos’ QB Bo Nix only got more comfortable as the game went on, especially with their ground game in the second half.

The biggest concern out of this brutal loss for the Jets is the health of Rodgers.

Late in the fourth quarter, Gang Green’s signal caller was tackled from behind by the Broncos’ defensive tackle Malcolm Roach, who landed on his left leg, the same one he suffered a torn Achilles last September.

It was clear that the tackle affected Rodgers over the ensuing final four minutes of the game, as he was shown clearly in discomfort and limping.

The status of the four-time NFL MVP will have to be heavy monitored throughout the week, even more so since the team is flying to London in the coming days for their game in London, England next weekend against the very impressive Minnesota Vikings.

The Dallas Cowboys are back in the win column, courtesy of the New York Giants. In an injury-filled “Thursday Night Football” game, the Cowboys held on for a 20-15 win against their NFC East rivals. 

It is starting quarterback Dak Prescott’s 13th straight win over New York. The Dallas defense was the difference-maker. After back-to-back rough outings against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the unit locked down the Giants run game, allowing 26 yards on the ground, and forced quarterback Daniel Jones to air it out if he wanted to win.

Giants rookie Malik Nabers was up to the task, with 12 receptions for 115 yards, but few others were. Jones completed 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards. Prescott, meanwhile, went 22-for-27 for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb had 98 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, both teams were bit by the injury bug. Cowboys defensive standouts Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggs and DeMarcus Lawrence all left the game at different points with injuries, while Nabers was ruled out in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
