    The Chicago Bears capped a banner Week 3 for home underdogs with perhaps the week's most unexpected result.

    After another marathon MLB regular season, the playoffs begin on Tuesday with all four wild-card series. From a pair of divisional battles to potential fireworks in San Diego, we take a look ahead by posing one key question in each series that could help decide who advances. For the third time in five seasons, the Phillies (88-74) and Braves (94-68) meet in the postseason.

For the second year in a row, the Texans have begun the season 0-3. But unlike in 2025 when they rebounded to make the playoffs as an AFC wild card, this year feels different.
