‘The Best in Sports’ is a daily PSO original series showcasing the best highlights, facts, and stories going on in the land of the NFL, NBA, & MLB every day. Get a recap on EVERYTHING that happened yesterday here.
In an epic NFC West Rivalry game, the Seahawks & 49ers drilled clutch FGs to go to OT, but only one kicker was able to repeat their success under pressure when it got to Overtime.
Jason Myers drills the 46-yard FG to put the @Seahawks ahead.
The Boston Celtics have gotten off to the best start possible since essentially exchanging Kemba Walker for Kyrie Irving. They continued their winning ways with an impressive victory over Luka and the Mavs, despite Tatum’s historically awful performance.
Brandon Brooks was one of the best OL in football before a down season last year that then ended with a torn Achilles. Brooks has bounced back in a big way as PFF’s #1 ranked OL in 2019, and the Eagles rewarded his comeback season with a sizable contract extension.
UPDATE: Philadelphia Eagles have extended RG Brandon Brooks (PFF’s #1 ranked OL in 2019) to a 4y/$53M deal through the 2024 season https://t.co/YJ1hMhBhfI

Jadeveon Clowney made the biggest impact on the defensive side of the ball in Monday night’s Game of the Year contender. Clowney made SF’s OL look lackluster as he got in Jimmy G’s face all night. Seattle’s major offseason acquisitions paid dividends in their biggest game of the season thus far.
#PlayerOfTheDay Jadeveon Clowney had his best game w/ SEA, consistently pressuring Jimmy G all game. He stuffed the stat sheet (1 SK, 1 FF, 1 FR-TD, 5 QBH, 5 TKL, & 10 pressures) and made more plays that didn’t show up in the box score. He’s the only DE w/ multiple TD in 2019 https://t.co/z1Ax0FauIH
After missing the first few weeks while rehabbing his ankle & leg, Blake Griffin made his long-anticipated season-debut on Monday, and showed right away how special he can be.
After Tim Duncan & Manu Ginobili each recently had their jerseys retired by the Spurs franchise they won a handful of championships with, Tony Parker was the third and final major component of those title runs that will now live on forever in San Antonio.
The Celtics announce Gordon Hayward will miss six weeks after undergoing successful surgery today to repair a fourth metacarpal fracture in his left hand.
Rams’ HC Sean McVay said WR Brandin Cooks and OT Rob Havenstein are out for Week 11, while starting C Brian Allen is done for the season with an MCL injury.
#Saints CB Marshon Lattimore suffered a hamstring strain that has him considered week-to-week, source said. That’s a tough loss. His absence was felt quickly Sunday, when #Falcons WR Julio Jones went for a 54-yarder as soon as he exited.
