Sam Darnold connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a touchdown in overtime, then hit a wide-open Eric Saubert for the winning two-point conversion, and the Seattle Seahawks rallied from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun the Los Angeles Rams 38-37 on Thursday night and take a one-game lead in the NFC West. The Seahawks went 3 for 3 on two-point conversions, none more improbable than the one that tied the game at 30-all in the fourth quarter.

They're gonna work very hard. We need to put some guardrails [in] so they don't injure themselves, but I don't think we could prevent them from working hard and still make the kind of games we make.

One Hayward public safety operator received more in overtime pay last year than their base salary. A Hayward Fire Department battalion chief received nearly a quarter-million dollars in overtime. They're just two examples of how the city of Hayward is wrestling to rein in spending fueled by salaries, benefits and overtime. As Hayward revises its 2025-2026 budget after depleting $31 million in its general fund budget, the city is working to rein in its expenses after a 21% increase in salaries and benefits and a 14% increase in overtime that has caused city officials to return to the negotiation table with the city's labor groups.

At Madison Square Garden, the lights were bright and the energy was real as No. 5 St. John's took the floor against No. 7 Michigan in an exhibition that felt far more like a March showdown than a preseason tune-up. This game absolutely lived up to its hype, with both teams exchanging blows for all 45 minutes, but Michigan came out victorious with a 9694 overtime win. Yaxel Lendeborg led all scorers with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field, adding 10 rebounds for a double-double.

He's just being Tom.

The Washington Capitals were riding a two-game win streak coming into tonight after their victorious back-to-back in New York this weekend. Tonight's game was the second half of a back-to-back for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who secured a win in Boston last night. Unfortunately for the Caps, it looked like they were the team that played last night with the way they came out onto the ice in the first period.

Fullback Kyle Juszcszyk, their elder statesman in his ninth Niners season, did not let that history interfere. "If I thought about it more on the sideline, yes there probably would have been some déjà vu," Juszczyk said. "But to be totally honest, I didn't let that creep into my mind. We were so focused on taking control of what we could control." He opened overtime with a 12-yard reception from Mac Jones, and away the 49ers went toward what Juszczyk appropriately dubbed a "wild, wild but fun" win.

When the lights got the brightest, the Valkyries didn't blink. Despite nearly unraveling at various points in the second half, Golden State found a way to deliver in the clutch as the Valkyries defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 89-81 in overtime.

"Tottenville is a great program and they're well coached, so they match up very well with us. These games can really go either way at any time for us and we came out on top this time."

Sheriff Robert Luna expressed pride in employees' efforts during the staffing crisis, highlighting the immense workload placed on current deputies without adequate support.
