data-mm-id=”_yippum7ta”>Sean Payton rolled into Denver with lots of thoughts about the job previous coach Nathaniel Hackett did and how Russell Wilson should stop running for offense and promptly lost the first three games, including a 70-20 debacle in Miami last week that somehow could have been worse. The Broncos had a much easier task in Chicago this afternoon against the Bears, but wasted no time making Justin Fields look like the best quarterback in the world and digging a 28-7 deficit. Desperate times call for desperate measures and, noticing the temperature on the Lake Michigan shores was above 80 degrees, Payton decided to make a wardrobe alteration. Because whereas a normal person would simply roll up their sleeves to vent the forearms, a football coach tasks an equipment manager to cut them completely off. Sean Payton rips his sleeves off 😅 pic.twitter.com/rJTPQu4hVf— RotoRadar (@RotoRadar) October 1, 2023The Belichickian measure seemed to work as the Broncos chipped away at the deficit after being inspired by the revolutionary sartorial substitution and just took a 31-28 lead in the game's final minute. If they hold on, this could be the turning point of the season. If this catches on, everyone's going to be cutting up their shirts while wearing them, which seems dangerous.

Neymar wants to take time to mourn Brazil s World Cup exit as he hailed the team s youngsters for stepping up in the Selecao s penalty shoot-out loss to Croatia.
Brazil, the pre-tournament favourites, are heading out after going down 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw with the 2018 runners-up at Education City Stadium.
Neymar opened the scoring with a wonderful goal midway through extra time on Friday, a strike that took him level with the great Pele on 77 goals for Brazil.
Yet Bruno Petkovic scored with four minutes remaining, with Rodrygo and Marquinhos failing to convert their penalties as Brazil s wait for a sixth world title rolled on.
Neymar did not take a spot-kick, though perhaps would have been in line to take Brazil s fifth had it gone that f…
Mats Hummels is set to return to Borussia Dortmund from Bayern Munich, joining former team-mate Mario Gotze back at Signal Iduna Park.
Hummels and Gotze were both part of the Dortmund teams that won back-to-back Bundesliga titles under Jurgen Klopp, so Lucien Favre will hope they can lead BVB back to the top.
Deals between the two German giants are not very common, but there have been some high-profile examples of players to feature for both Bayern and Dortmund.
Omnisport picks out six of the best, with Hummels return costing Dortmund a reported €38million fee.

Almeria will be looking to claim their first La Liga home win of the season when they welcome Alaves. The match will be played at Power Horse Stadium with the local fans hoping to see a good performance from their favourites.
Almeria
It seems that Almeria is slipping fast towards the second tier of Spanish football. The Andalusian team is having a disastrous season, failing to win after 21 rounds. The side managed by Gaizka Garitano played a blockbuster game at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, suffering a defeat at the end. It was a match that triggered a huge scandal in the Spanis press following the clear favourably referring towards Carlo Ancelott s team. Despite leading 2-0 at half-time, Almeria lost dramatica…
Liverpool are planning a considerable squad rebuild this summer, manager Jurgen Klopp has openly confirmed, and their priority will be the midfield section. And while most reports name Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham as their No. 1 target, it is obvious that more than one player for the department will be needed, and Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport says another name on that list is Inter Milan s Nicolo Barella.
Having started his career with Como, Barella spent three years with Cagliari before joining Inter on an initial loan in 2019. The deal was made permanent the following year, and the Italy international signed his currently valid contract in November 2021, for five years. With three still remaining on it, the price for his services is likely to be high.
Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde expects a difficult but eye-catching tie when his side face Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Friday s draw paired Barca with United in a repeat of the 2009 and 2011 finals, both of which were won by the LaLiga giants under now Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
An injury-hit United overturned a 2-0 first-leg home loss to knock out Paris Saint-Germain as the Premier League side continue to thrive under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Barca, meanwhile, thumped Lyon 5-1 to move into the last eight for a record 12th consecutive season, having been held 0-0 by the Ligue 1 team in the first leg.
Next month s double-header promises to be an enticing affair, with Valverde s side on track for a treble,…
Crystal Palace cancelled a press conference to preview Monday’s Premier League game against Everton after under-pressure manager Roy Hodgson was taken ill during training.
The 76-year-old was due to speak at 1.30pm on Thursday but members of the media waiting outside the club’s New Beckenham training ground were informed the briefing would not take place.
According to reports, Palace are set to sack Hodgson, with ex-Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner a strong favourite to take the job.

Harry Kane says he will not stay at Tottenham for the sake of it and would consider his future if the club did not show progress on the pitch.
Spurs have not won a major trophy since the 2008 EFL Cup and have regressed since reaching last season s Champions League final under Mauricio Pochettino, with Jose Mourinho now at the helm.
England captain Kane has often spoken of his desire to win titles with Tottenham but reports have suggested he may look elsewhere if his ambitions are not met.
Manchester United and Real Madrid have both been rumoured to be monitoring the situation and Kane offered no guarantees that his long-term future is at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking on a live Instagram broadcast with Sky Sports pundit and ex-Spurs midfielder J…
Mauricio Pochettino admitted he was surprised Ben Chilwell started two games for England during the international break, having only recently returned from a knee injury.
The defender last started for Chelsea on March 2 against Brentford and since then has played just a few minutes for the club, as a late substitute in the FA Cup against Leicester.
Yet he played the entirety of England’s 2-2 draw with Belgium on Tuesday, three days after completing 67 minutes against Brazil.
Mauricio has revealed three players will need to be assessed ahead of Burnley’s visit in the .
