Good morning, Sports fans! It’s your buddy Davey Mac here and we’ve got a big-time Sports Report for ya to kick off the week!
Football! Basketball! Hockey! Baseball! World Cup! It’s all happening!
But first…did you see Daniel Jones and the New York Giants defeat the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football? What a game!

Jones looked solid in the game…as he has all season. Jones has only thrown four interceptions this year (as opposed to 12 passing TD’s). But, Daniel has also ran quite well. Jones has rushed for 583 yards and 5 TD’s this year.

Jones has also exhibited toughness. He has been banged up pretty hard throughout the course of the season…garnering praise from his teammates and coaches alike,

The bottom line is that head coach Brian Daboll has a big decision to make at the end of the year. Especially if the Giants make the playoffs (currently they’d be in via a Wild Card spot)…has Daniel Jones shown enough to declare him the starting QB for the next few years? It’ll be interesting to watch.

Giants Beat Commanders
The Giants grabbed a HUGE win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football…final score…Giants 20…Commanders 12.

Saquon also caught five passes for 33 yards. The Giants now improve to 8-5-and-1 and take a big step into a possible playoff spot. Washington drops to 7-6-and-1.

Jets Lose To Lions
The Jets lost to the Lions…20 to 17…after letting up a long pass play late in the game. Zach Wilson threw for 317 yards, two TD’s, and one interception. The Jets had the lead late…but the Lions connected with tight end Brock Wright on a fourth and one situation for 51 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. That was ultimately the game-winner. The Jets drop to 7 and 7. Detroit improves to 7 and 7.

Judge's 62nd Goes For $1.5 Mil
Aaron Judge’s record-breaking 62nd home run ball has gone for $1.5 million. Sixty-two home runs is an American League record for most home runs in a single season in A.L. history. It also is the Yankees’ franchise record. Apparently, the guy who caught the ball was initially offered $3 million…but he opted to put it up for auction…and got the $1.5 mil.
