🔮 Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes, including Efton Chism’s one-handed catch with 1:50 remaining, and the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-26 on Sunday.
🔮 Though saying he still has a lot to prove, Kulich continued validating the offseason work he put in to get back in shape after having surgery to remove the blood clot at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in March.
🔮 The Sabres will do so with a young roster that got even younger following a summer in which top-line forward Alex Tuch was traded to Washington and defenseman Bowen Byram to Chicago.
🔮 And Buffalo was one of the NFL’s six remaining unbeaten teams through Sunday, with Philadelphia (2-0) set to play Monday night.
🔮 The PWHL Montreal Victoire coach, coming off a Walter Cup title in May, replaces Troy Ryan, who stepped down after his contract expired in May.
🔮 To hear Joe Brady express his concerns, it would be easy to think the Buffalo Bills opened the season winless instead of 2-0.
🔮 The Wild, meantime, are in talks to re-sign Quinn Hughes in a deal that could approach Makar’s.
🔮 Though the injury is not considered significant, Brady said it was too early to determine if Moore will play next week.
🔮 “If I could snap my fingers and make every field grass, that’s what I would do for sure.”
