Chris Horwedel breaks down the Buccaneers’ 24-16 win over Dallas, where Jalon Daniels makes history, Bucky Irving delivers a career-best rushing performance and three second-half takeaways swing the game.

In October baseball, Cleveland forces a winner-take-all Game 5 against the White Sox with a six-run sixth inning. Off the field, MLB presents the players’ union with a sweeping proposal that would shorten the regular season to 154 games, expand the Division Series and potentially allow higher-seeded teams to choose playoff opponents.

The WNBA makes history as A’ja Wilson wins her record fifth MVP award and third straight, further separating herself from every other player in league history even as Las Vegas faces elimination against Golden State.

Around the NHL, Carolina rolls behind Logan Stankoven’s first career hat trick, Colorado gets a big night from Cale Makar and Vegas completes a three-goal comeback. Seattle also loses Ryan Lindgren for several weeks with an upper-body injury.

The episode closes with soccer news, including Chicago extending Maren Haile-Selassie and UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin reversing his decision to step down, setting up another term through 2031 if re-elected.

Chris Horwedel breaks down Messi’s farewell in Buenos Aires, where he finished a 21-year international career with a goal and two assists in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Benin. Harry Kane also makes history for England, tying Peter Shilton’s appearance record while scoring twice against Czechia.

In October baseball, the Dodgers move within one win of eliminating Atlanta behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s dominant seven-inning start, while San Diego keeps its season alive against Milwaukee.
