Report Door
October 22nd, 2020 was remembered for Daniel Jones’ 80-yd run that literally fell short of the end zone. Before a classic Thursday Night Football matchup where Carson Wentz conquered his greatest fourth quarter comeback to lead Philly atop the NFC East despite an abysmal 2-4-1 record, EDGE Yannick Ngakoue was traded from the Vikings to the Ravens on a day off from the MLB World Series. Check out everything that happened in sports on October 22nd last year and the Best in Sports from exactly a year ago, headlined by the rise of Juan Soto when he hit a massive shot off of Cy Young runner-up Gerrit Cole in World Series Game 1.
This daily sports article includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, top performances of the day, significant birthdays, and a quick recap of notable events on this day in sports history.
