(The Storm covers what’s storming in sports today.)
Broncos edge Seahawks 17-14 in OT: Denver improved to 4-2 with an overtime win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Ja’Quan McMillian intercepted Sam Darnold, setting up Will Lutz’s 53-yard field goal. The Broncos’ offense was limited (around 168 yards), while Darnold’s late turnovers hurt Seattle (now 3-3).
Brewers sweep Dodgers to reach World Series for first time since 1982: Milwaukee completed a 4-0 NLCS sweep of the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers with a 6-4 comeback win in Game 4. Garrett Mitchell’s go-ahead homer in the sixth and a strong bullpen led the way after the Dodgers jumped to a 4-0 lead (boosted by a Shohei Ohtani home run).
Southern Nazarene University (Division II) sophomore safety Tyler Ulrich died five days after suffering a traumatic injury (reported as a head injury) during a game against Ouachita Baptist. The 21-year-old from Azle, Texas, was hospitalized after the game was delayed for on-field medical attention.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed QB Joe Milton off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. Tanner McKee will start for Philly this week.
“It was really frustrating to watch. And part of it, for me, is Bo Nix is not playing competitively. It’s almost disrespectful to the quarterback position how he’s playing football right now. First of all, the guy doesn’t want to throw the ball. That’s fine. He’s throwing to the flats, he’s throwing behind, but he has no trust from his coach. He calls a screen play on third-and-8. Just run up and let the clock keep going. What does he do? He throws it away. Seattle gets the ball, they have a timeout.”—Former NFL QB/Prime Analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick on Denver QB Bo Nix.
On this date in 1969: New York Mets completed their “Miracle” World Series title with a 5-3 Game 5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Mets starter Jerry Koosman went the distance.
“The biggest thing that just irritates me – I’m still salty about it. It’s one thing to have some of these kicks missed, and Harrison Mevis is, obviously, this year, it’s been a struggle. But like post-game, I’m watching. He’s laughing and keekeeing with guys. Like, I don’t mean to get like this, but I do. When I messed up, if I give up a sack at the end of the game or pressure or whatever, the first thing I’m doing is running into the locker room, and I’m gonna be so pissed off, I don’t want to talk to nobody. I’m just sitting there going, like, man, if I missed a kick, or if I missed two kicks, one’s blocked, you know, I don’t know. I don’t understand it.”—Former Rams LT/Current Prime Analyst Andrew Whitworth.
On this date in 1946: 18-year-old Gordie Howe scored his first NHL goal (and got into two fights) in his debut; Detroit Red Wings tied the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-3.
Guardians lead Rays 2-1 in ALCS: Cleveland took a 2-1 series lead with a 3-2 Game 3 win, highlighted by Petey Halpin’s go-ahead two-run homer. Game 4 is scheduled for tonight in Cleveland (rain is a possible factor).
On this date in 1968: At the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith (gold, world-record 19.83) and John Carlos (bronze) raised black-gloved fists in the Black Power salute on the 200 m podium.
“They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we have a bunch of gamers. And the gamers won this week.”—Brewers manager Pat Murphy said this after Milwaukee swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2026 NLCS.
