Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will forever be intertwined. They went into college in 2021 and had successful careers before being drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. Williams was selected No. 1 overall and Maye was selected No. 3 overall.

Now, for the first time since their rookie seasons, these quarterbacks will have the chance to face each other on Thursday Night Football. Maye won that game 19-3. But the Bears are a much different team than they were in 2024 and head coach Ben Johnson’s offense allows Williams to do what he does best.

Prior to their game, Maye described what he has seen from Williams in the NFL and what makes him special.

“He’s special in a way he can move and kind of escape and evade pressure and throwing on the run is pretty cool to watch,” Maye said. “So I don’t know if I’m that shifty in the pocket. He can do some cool things. And he’s got crazy arm talent and it’s fun to watch. But I wouldn’t say it feel - I don’t know if I’m that flexible to try some of those things. But I think the way he plays the game is cool. And I know he’s doing a great job.”

Williams has faced the No. 2 overall pick, Jayden Daniels, twice. Daniels won the first matchup when they were rookies, but Williams got his revenge during the 2025 season in prime time. He will be hoping for the same result on Thursday against Maye.

Both quarterbacks have been playing well as Williams completed over 80 percent of his passes in last week’s win against the Atlanta Falcons while Maye has 10 touchdown passes in the past three games.

NFL insider reveals Texans' ex-Browns Pro Bowl OL could be trade candidate originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The Houston Texans have had an offensive line problem for a few years now, and typically, if there's a move associated with the Texans and a lineman, it's about the team adding help up front.

But the Texans aren't afraid of trading from their NFL roster either. They sent a lineman to the Detroit Lions in the David Montgomery trade, and also shipped off Laremy Tunsil not too long ago. This Fall, by the NFL trade deadline, they could do it again.

ESPN NFL insider Dan Graziano revealed that three-time Pro Bowl offensive guard Wyatt Teller, formerly with the Cleveland Browns, could be a trade candidate for the Texans this Fall.

Texans' Wyatt Teller tabbed as trade candidate

"A couple of other 2026 free agent signings who stand out as potentially available due to their situations not working out include Texans offensive lineman Wyatt Teller and Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen," Graziano writes.

For a team that's struggled with offensive line play the last two seasons, it might seem odd for them to trade a veteran lineman who's a former Pro Bowler.

But with the Texans getting solid play out of Ed Ingram and Keylan Rutledge, Teller has become a bit more expendable than he was before the start of the year.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound offensive guard is sure to have some suitors interested, as he's a decent veteran and could be a decent starter for a team desperate for OL help.

Houston isn't going to sell him for cheap, however, as their offensive line issues likely won't make them so easily convinced to give up on Teller this season.

But if a contender comes with the right offer, Graziano isn't ruling out a trade of Teller this Fall. It might not be likely, but it does appear that Teller is a name to monitor by the 2026 NFL trade deadline this November.

Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer on the planet by quite some distance, and he has been for 179 consecutive weeks.

Scheffler has won 22 PGA Tour titles since February 2022, including four major championships.

The 30-year-old’s remarkable consistency and exceptionally impressive win-rate has seen comparisons made with the likes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

Scheffler has a chance of matching the career achievements of Woods and Nicklaus if he continues to play for the next two decades.

There could easily come a time when the American decides that enough is enough, though. Scottie Scheffler is unquestionably a generational talent, but it’s fair to say that he isn’t as fond of the spotlight as many other huge stars in the game are.

However, that is all by design. The world number one wants his life to be as quiet and as normal as possible away from tournament weeks.

As a result, he limits the amount of professional partnerships he has. Scheffler views his relationship with his wife and children as his sole priority.

Golf is a distant second to the 30-year-old, and now he has opened up on how much his family mean to him.

Scottie Scheffler pinpoints one thing that would make him retire from golf

Scheffler sat down to speak exclusively with The Athletic about a wide range of topics pertaining to his time in the professional game.

And as much as the man from Dallas, Texas, has a burning desire to win, golf is not the be-all and end-all for him.

Scheffler shared how he would happily walk away from the game in an instant if it began to adversely impact his home life.

“If my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that’s going to be the last day that I play out here for a living,” the world number one claimed.

Despite the fact that Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer in the world by quite some margin, he turns down numerous opportunities to increase his stardom and wealth in order to spend more time with his family.

Scheffler is completely unlike so many modern-day sport stars in that his performances on the golf course do not define him as a person.

Being the best husband and father he can be is the most important thing to him.

And as he says, if that ever changes he will walk away from the game without a second thought.

UFC 333 takes place on Saturday with two championship bouts at the top of the card. Aaron Bronsteter breaks down how some of the fighters can find their path to victory.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday he has a high comfort level in the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers safely playing in Paris on Sunday in light of the civil unrest that could include more protests this weekend in the capital and elsewhere around France.

Even though it was an early one, the bye week came a good time for the 5-0 Vikings, who are expected to get some key offensive players back from injury this week. The Vikings will be at home this Sunday and should have a great chance to remain undefeated against the 2-4 Colts, who just lost to the previously-winless Titans and then fired their GM.

Here’s information on how to watch, the current Vegas spread, and more.

How to watch or listen

• Vikings vs. Colts
• Sunday, Oct. 25
• 12 p.m.central time
• TV channel: CBS (WCCO-TV in the Twin Cities)
• MN radio: 100.3 KFAN FM

Announcers

CBS is sending its No. 2 crew of Ian Eagle, Ross Tucker, and Evan Washburn to U.S. Bank Stadium to call this game. It appears the last time Eagle called a Vikings game was in Week 3 of 2024, when Minnesota crushed the Texans 34-7 at home.

As always, the Vikings’ usual crew of Paul Allen, Pete Bercich and Ben Leber will be on the local radio call for KFAN.

Vegas spread

The Vikings are sizable 6.5-point favorites over the Colts, who are coming off a brutal loss to the Titans and are now going to be without top cornerback Sauce Gardner for a bit. It’s the second-biggest spread in the NFL this week, behind only the Texans as 10-point favorites over J.J. McCarthy and the Giants.

The over-under is relatively low at 41.5, which gives an implied projected score of roughly Vikings 24, Colts 17.

It’s the Vikings’ second-largest spread so far this season, behind only Week 4 when they hosted the Dolphins and failed to cover as 9.5-point favorites.

What’s on the line

• The Vikings have started 5-0 a few other times in recent memory, but they haven’t gotten to 6-0 since 2009.
• With a win, the Vikings can ensure that they at least remain one of the three undefeated teams in the NFL. The 6-0 49ers are -3.5 on the road against the Falcons this week, while the 5-0 Chiefs are actually +2.5 in Seattle, facing the defending champions on Sunday Night Football.
• This feels like a big game for the Vikings to avoid a letdown. After facing the Colts, they begin the toughest stretch of their schedule this season: at Lions, vs. Bills, at Packers, vs. 49ers (in Mexico City).
