Amon-Ra St. Brown has his first touchdown of this NFL season. In the 20:13 win against the Arizona Cardinals, the German-American, wearing the Detroit Lions jersey, caught a pass for five yards. With a total of 75 yards after passing, St. Brown was also the most dangerous receiver on the field and had another good game after the 119 yards last week.
St. Brown’s involvement in the Lions’ third touchdown was spectacular. He immediately reversed a pass from quarterback Jared Goff to teammate Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran into the end zone. For the Lions, the success was the second win in three games of the season. The Cardinals have already lost two games.
The Kansas City Chiefs are among the undefeated teams. The Super Bowl winners of the past two years beat the Atlanta Falcons 22:17. The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes felt like they had everything under control for a long time, but due to numerous careless mistakes and penalties in the final phase, they still had to worry about winning until the last minute. Travis Kelce once again had an unremarkable encounter. The boyfriend of pop superstar Taylor Swift caught four balls for a total of 30 yards. He thus fell short of his own expectations in the third game of the season.
Fiebich at the start of the playoffs: Best WNBA game of her career
National basketball player Leonie Fiebich gave her team the perfect start to the playoffs with the best performance of her young WNBA career. In the New York Liberty’s 83:69 win against the Atlanta Dream, the 24-year-old scored her personal best of 21 points. No one else had more points than her. Earlier in the day, Fiebich was selected for the league’s All-Rookie Team, making her one of the best new players in the best women’s basketball league in the world. “There’s no question about that,” said coach Sandy Brondello.
Fiebich made her first five shots from the game and had only one missed shot in the entire game. “That was a quick layup, she’ll practice that tomorrow,” joked coach Brondello after the game in the playoff series against Atlanta. Fiebich, who comes from Landsberg am Lech, played from the start. “It doesn’t matter how long I play or what role I play. I will always bring the same energy,” said Fiebich. “We need her,” said star player Breanna Stewart. “I really enjoy playing with her.”
As the best team in the regular season, the Liberty have home advantage and will also host the second game of the best-of-three series on Tuesday evening (local time). If the Dream win and there is a third game, game three would be on Thursday evening (local time) in Atlanta.
Fiebich’s German teammate Nyara Sabally came off the bench and played almost 16 minutes, scoring two points and adding a strong seven rebounds and one block.
NHL pro Peterka in top form ahead of Germany trip
Self-promotion in the first tough test: National player John-Jason Peterka scored a hat trick for the Buffalo Sabres shortly after the start of preparations for the new season of the professional ice hockey league NHL. In the 7:3 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the German striker scored the goals to make it 1:1 (4th), 2:1 (21st) and 6:1 (26th).
The Sabres had put a lot of pucks on goal and in this respect “did a good job,” said Peterka (22) after his strong performance at the KeyBank Center. The implementation of the training content “worked pretty well.” However, Pittsburgh rested stars such as Yevgeny Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson.
Buffalo began its training camp on Thursday, with Lindy Ruff back as head coach. The Canadian has returned to the club after more than ten years.
The Sabres will complete three more tests against NHL opponents before facing Peterka’s former club and host Red Bull Munich at the opening of the SAP Garden in Peterka’s hometown on September 27. The Sabres missed the playoffs for the 13th time in a row in the last regular season – an NHL negative record.
