- Seattle steals the opener! This is The Sports Reset for Thursday September 10th In the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks rallied past the New England Patriots 13 to 10 in a season-opening Super Bowl rematch. After Sam Darnold injured his hip on the first drive, backup Drew Lock found Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 45-yard fourth-quarter touchdown. The Seahawks then intercepted Drake Maye three times in the final period, and Jason Myers supplied the deciding 26-yard field goal. In MLB, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Houston Astros 11 to 7 behind Kyle Schwarber’s majors-leading 44th homer, a grand slam that capped a six-run sixth. Jose Altuve collected his 2,500th career hit in the loss. The New York Mets survived the Miami Marlins 15 to 14 after Francisco Lindor’s three-run homer completed a six-run seventh. In ATP tennis, Ben Shelton eliminated defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in five sets, finishing the latest match in US Open history with a 146-mile-per-hour ace at 3:33 a.m. In WTA play, Coco Gauff saved two match points and beat Mirra Andreeva in three sets, while Elena Rybakina rallied past Qinwen Zheng and secured the next world No. 1 ranking. Looking ahead, the NFL stages its first regular-season game in Australia as the San Francisco 49ers meet the Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Myles Garrett debuts for the Rams’ rebuilt defense, while Aaron Donald remains home as he works back from retirement. Nick Bosa and George Kittle have been cleared for the 49ers, though their workloads remain uncertain after lengthy recoveries. In ATP tennis, Alexander Zverev has already reached Friday’s US Open semifinal against Karen Khachanov, his fourth major semifinal of the season. Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe meet in the other semifinal Friday, guaranteeing an American man a place in Sunday’s final. In MLB, the Tampa Bay Rays visit the Atlanta Braves in a meeting of two clubs with at least 85 wins, while the Astros and Phillies finish their series with Cristian Javier scheduled against Zack Wheeler. In college football, the Florida A&M Rattlers visit the Miami Hurricanes. Beyond the scoreboard, the Los Angeles Dodgers are placing Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list because of persistent biceps and knee soreness, sidelining him until the final week of the regular season and prompting top prospect Josue De Paula’s promotion.
