No doubt they need the likes of Springer and his suddenly rejuvenated offense, as well as Daulton Varsho and his Gold Glove calibre defense in the outfield, along with Kevin Gausman to dominate opposing hitters into submission. But if there was one player that the Jays can't afford to lose this postseason, that player is none other than Alejandro Kirk.

Play of the Game: Tua Tagovailoa was sacked at the Patriots 37-yard line on fourth-and-12 with 53 seconds left. That completed a day where, again, the theme was lost opportunity. On the previous possession, Tua threw a fourth-down interception over the middle that was returned 20 yards to the Dolphins 38 with 2:12 left. Bottom-line: The Dolphins needed winning plays from their quarterback.

Jorge Posada, traditionally a catcher, slumped with a .154 batting average but was positioned in the two-hole by Yankees' management, leading to an impressive performance.

"We need Marcus to be an elite punt returner and his ability to help the offense and be able to gain extra first downs," said coach Mike Vrabel.

The Angels managed just a swinging-bunt single against the visiting Chicago White Sox in the second game of their three-game series, not nearly enough in a 1-0 loss.

In what eventually became a 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals, Mims finished with eight receptions on eight targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdowns were in the fourth quarter -- the first a 51-yard catch-and-run for the team's longest play of the game and the other a leaping are-you-kidding-me effort with eight seconds left in regulation to force overtime.

Connor McMichael's performance this season showcases his ability to impact play significantly, with on-ice analytics illustrating his offensive and defensive strengths.

The Giants have officially begun to shake up their struggling offense, opting to designate LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment and sign veteran Dominic Smith.
