American Football: Eagles lose for the first time – Amon-Ra St. Brown with a touchdown
The Philadelphia Eagles were the last team in the National Football League (NFL) to suffer their first defeat of the season. The previous season’s Super Bowl loser made a dramatic 14:20 defeat at the New York Jets on Sunday and now has five wins from six games. The San Francisco 49ers had previously lost their flawless record to the Cleveland Browns, 17:19.
At MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made a fatal interception two minutes before the end of the game, and Jets running back Breece Hall secured New York’s victory with a late touchdown. For the Jets, whose star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to miss the entire playing time with a torn Achilles tendon, it was the third win of the season and the first ever against the Eagles.
Meanwhile, German-American wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown returned from an upper body injury and led the Detroit Lions to their fifth win with his third touchdown of the season. The Lions won 20-6 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and consolidated their lead in the NFC North Division.
German fullback Jakob Johnson also celebrated success with the Las Vegas Raiders. Against the New England Patriots, who have now lost five of their six games, they scored 21:17. Las Vegas has three wins and three defeats. However, Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could now be out for the time being; he had to leave the field for further examinations with back problems and was replaced by Brian Hoyer.
The Buffalo Bills’ 14-9 win against the New York Giants was overshadowed by a neck injury to Damien Harris. The Bills’ running back was hit hard in the second quarter and left the field in an ambulance. Harris can move his arms and legs, Buffalo said, and he is now being examined in detail in a clinic.
The scenes brought back at least faint memories of the drama surrounding Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the field in January. Hamlin was resuscitated at the time and later placed in an induced coma, subsequently recovered and made his comeback earlier this month.
Ice hockey: Stützle scores, Senators win
German ice hockey youngster Tim Stützle (21) can look forward to a successful start to the season in the NHL with the Ottawa Senators. The Senators celebrated a 5-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday evening, it was their second win in the third game. It was only on Saturday that the Canadians achieved the same result against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Stützle scored his second goal of the season against Tampa; the striker hit an empty net in the final phase. With a good 22 minutes, he got the most ice time of all Senators attackers. Last season, Ottawa played no role in the fight for the play-offs.
“We have already taken a lot of beating as a team,” said Senators coach DJ Smith: “As young players, they have to develop and often had to lose. We know how difficult it is to win here and that we have to fight for every inch.”
Once again, Stützle’s teammate Brady Tkachuk (24) stood out, scoring twice as on Saturday and also contributing an assist.
A week after Damar Hamlin’s NFL comeback, a Buffalo Bills professional was driven off the field in an ambulance. 26-year-old Damien Harris was left lying on the field on Sunday evening (local time) minutes before halftime after a collision with an opponent from the New York Giants. The broadcast TV station NBC reported, citing the Bills, that Harris had suffered a neck injury. He can move his arms and legs.
“He’s on the way to the hospital, that’s all I know,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said before the start of the second half.
It wasn’t a cardiac arrest like Hamlin’s in January, but memories were still awakened in the stadium when numerous Bills staff took care of the running back relatively quickly. He was lifted onto a stretcher with great care. Before he was transferred to the ambulance, Harris gave a thumbs up. The game resumed after a few minutes of interruption, with the Giants leading 6-0 at that point. In the end, the Bills won 14:9.
Hamlin played in an NFL game last weekend for the first time since his cardiac arrest in the playoffs. A collision on January 2nd against the Cincinnati Bengals caused him to go into cardiac arrest and he had to be resuscitated on the field in Ohio. In the game against the Giants, Hamlin was not in the squad and sat on the bench in civilian clothes. As Harris was being treated, TV footage showed Hamlin looking downward.
Basketball: Liberty get their first win against Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA Finals
The New York Liberty got their first win in the WNBA final series and initially prevented the Las Vegas Aces from defending their title. After the two defeats at the start of the final series, the team with Berlin’s Nyara Sabally in the squad won 87:73 at home on Sunday. Sabally was only used shortly before the end, but still has a chance to win the championship in her first season in the WNBA. The most successful player for New York was Jonquel Jones with 27 points. Kelsey Plum had 29 points for Las Vegas. Game four in the final series is on Thursday night in Germany (2 a.m. CEST).
