September 12, 2022 in sports was highlighted by a controversial ending to MNF after Denver Broncos rookie HC Nathaniel Hackett surprisingly decided to attempt a 64-yard GW-FGA instead of go for the 4th & 5 with a minute left that ultimately led to the Seahawks beating Russell Wilson in his return to Seattle. Bo Bichette set another Blue Jays record after a clutch GW-HR, Mookie Betts’ historic HR helped LA make their own history, and the Giants extended Wilmer Flores. Kyle Fuller, Ja’Wuan James, & Derek Barnett were ruled out for the year.
