Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

During a “Sunday NFL Countdown” segment Sunday, Ryan torched the Raiders’ running back and called him “soft as Charmin” after Jeanty called out the Jets — the team Ryan used to coach — for having a couple of players who “don’t really want to tackle.” asserted

When another analyst remarked as the segment ended that there was going to be a fight before the Jets and Raiders played at MetLife Stadium, Ryan continued to call out Jeanty and said, “If we had a fight, there’d be a non-hitter, and that’d be him.” Ryan had a far more direct response to Jeanty’s jab than the current Jets did, as several players declined to send a jab back at Jeanty, who has rushed for 328 yards and a touchdown in his second NFL season, despite acknowledging that they’d heard him claim. Head coach Aaron Glenn added that “we have to play on Sunday, so that’s the reaction.” The Jets entered the weekend ranked 24th in rushing defense this season, allowing an average of 128.1 yards per game, and Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II rushed for 156 yards — while forcing 10 missed tackles — during Miami’s win over the Jets in Week 7. uncertain
