Things are sputtering in Vegas, as the squad has dropped three straight games following an Opening Day win. Last week, the Raiders suffered a heartbreaking 25-24 loss to Chicago as the potential game-winning field goal was blocked in the fourth quarter. The Colts dropped their first game of the season last week, losing 27-20 to the Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (rookie) has forced 26 missed tackles in 2025, according to Next Gen Stats, the second most in the NFL. With 2.0 sacks, Raiders DE Maxx Crosby would get his 14th career game 2.0+ sacks, passing Howie Long (13) for the second most of such games in Raiders history (since 1982). Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has carried the ball 77 times for 414 yards and three touchdowns so far in 2025. Plus, Taylor leads the league in rushing. Since entering the NFL in 2017, Colts CB Kenny Moore II has registered the second-most sacks (11.0) among cornerbacks in the NFL.

One of the Week #5 NFL on Fox games originates from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, as Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins (1-3) provide the opposition for Chuba Hubbard and the homestanding Carolina Panthers (3-1) on Sunday, October 5, at 1:00 PM ET on Fox. This week's Dolphins at Panthers broadcast team on Fox features play-by-play commentator Eric Collins (making his NFL on Fox play-by-play debut), analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth, and sideline reporter Jennifer Hale. On Monday night, the Dolphins defeated the Jets 27-21 for their first win of the season. The Panthers were clobbered 42-13 by the Patriots at Gillette Stadium last Sunday. Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle had 48 receiving yards last week. Dolphins CB Rasul Douglas had 2 PD & 1st sack of season in Week 4. Panthers S Nick Scott tied for the team lead with a season-high 6 tackles last week. Panthers QB Bryce Young passed for 150 yards & TD vs. 0 INTs last week.

Marshon Lattimore and the Washington Commanders (2-2) fly cross-country this week for an interconference clash with Keenan Allen and the Los Angeles Chargers (3-1) in the "America's Game of the Week" feature game on Sunday, October 5, at 4:25 PM ET on Fox, as Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter), and Tom Rinaldi (reporter) describe the action. The Commanders fell to the Falcons 34-27 in Week 4. The Chargers lead the AFC West division with a 3-1 mark, having one of the league's best defenses.

In Week #4, the Lions dominated against the Browns, easily winning by a final score of 34-10. The Bengals were embarrassed by the Broncos, 28-3, on "Monday Night Football" last week. Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown had two receiving touchdowns last week vs. the Browns. Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson had two sacks & sixth career forced fumble last week vs. the Browns. The Bengals try to get back to the win column after two uninspiring losses in Minneapolis & Denver. It was a quiet night for Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins vs. the Broncos last Monday night. Chase was limited to five receptions and 23 receiving yards, while Higgins only had three receptions for 32 yards.

At 7:30 PM ET, Fox will recap Sunday's NFL games with "The OT presented by Ford."

The Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Guardians in the do-or-die Game 3, meaning that Detroit now gets ready to face the AL West champion Seattle Mariners in the ALDS. The Chicago Cubs were able to fend off the San Diego Padres to set up an NLDS against their divisional rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers. And the New York Yankees blanked the Boston Red Sox in Game 3 of their series to advance to the ALDS matchup against the AL East champion Toronto Blue Jays.

Saturday's Division Series schedule begins in Milwaukee, as the NL Cy Young Award candidate, Freddy Peralta, along with power hitter Christian Yelich, lead the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers (No. 1 seed) against Dansby Swanson, Michael Busch, and the Chicago Cubs (No. 4 seed) for Game 1 of this best-of-five series at 2:00 PM ET (1:00 PM CT) on TBS. Alex Faust and 1986 World Series champion Ron Darling team up for the series, with field reporting from Lauren Jbara. The Cubs edged the Brewers 7-6 in the regular season series and took out the Padres in a three-game Wild Card Series to qualify for this round.

The American League Division Series gets started in the late afternoon on Saturday as Trent Grisham and the New York Yankees (No. 4 seed) visit George Springer and the AL East champion Toronto Blue Jays (No. 1 seed) in Game 1 of this American League Division Series, at 4:00 PM ET on Fox, with the lead "MLB on Fox" team of Joe Davis (play-by-play), Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst), and Emmy Award winner Ken Rosenthal (reporter) providing commentary. The Blue Jays took eight of 13 games from New York this season to claim the tiebreaker over the Yankees and take hold of the AL East crown.

Once primetime arrives on Saturday night, we have a fantastic National League Division Series set to kick off. Exceptional talent Shohei Ohtani is set to pitch in a postseason game for the first time ever in a marquee best-of-five series. Ohtani is joined by teammates Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts as the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers (No. 3 seed) meet the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies (No. 2 seed), powered by their respective sluggers Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, at 6:30 PM ET on TBS, as Brian Anderson (play-by-play), Jeff Francoeur (analyst), & Lauren Shehadi (reporter) describe the action. This is the first time that the Phillies & Dodgers have played in the postseason since the 2009 National League Championship Series.

Saturday's Division Series schedule finishes in Seattle, as Kerry Carpenter and the Detroit Tigers (No. 6 seed) collide with Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez, and the AL West champion Seattle Mariners (No. 2 seed) at 8:30 PM ET on FS1, with play-by-play announcer Adam Amin, World Series champion (2005) and analyst AJ Pierzynski, fellow World Series champion (2006) and analyst Adam Wainwright, and reporter Tom Verducci announcing this American League Division Series. The Mariners grabbed their first AL West title since 2001, thanks to Mariners C Cal Raleigh's 60 home runs (setting a new mark for a switch-hitter). The Tigers triumphed over their divisional rivals, the Guardians, in a three-game Wild Card Series, winning the series 2-1.

After Saturday's Division Series games, live coverage of the League Division Series continues through at least Wednesday, October 8. If necessary, additional Division Series games will be played between Wednesday, October 8, and Saturday, October 11.

Highlights for the 2025 MLB Wild Card Series include:

• ESPN Networks (ABC, ESPN) will exclusively televise all four MLB Wild Card Series beginning on Tuesday, September 30.

• Two Wild Card Series matchups feature divisional matchups — Tigers vs. Guardians & Red Sox vs. Yankees.

• Two Wild Card Series matchups feature teams playing against each other in the postseason for just the second time ever — Padres vs. Cubs (first meeting since 1984 NLCS) & Reds vs. Dodgers (first meeting since 1995 NLDS).

• AL Central Remix: For the second straight postseason, the Tigers and Guardians will meet. The lone difference is that this meeting is taking place during the Wild Card Series, not the Division Series. The series begins Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 PM ET on ESPN.

• Cubs, Padres Play in Wild Card Series: Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs host Manny Machado in this best-of-three playoff series to determine who will go to the Division Series. The series kicks off on Tuesday at 3:00 PM ET on ABC.

• Rivalry Renewed: I love this! Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the New York Yankees face their rival, Jarren Duran and the Boston Red Sox, with a Division Series berth at stake during this intriguing Wild Card Series matchup.

It's time for postseason baseball! We begin the fun with the best-of-three MLB Wild Card Series starting on Tuesday, September 30. The ESPN family of networks is your exclusive home for all of the action during the Wild Card Series round, with games on either ESPN or ABC. Each day, Tuesday through Thursday, up to four Wild Card Series games will be played.

Two bitter foes from the American League Central break the seal on postseason play as Riley Greene and the Detroit Tigers (No. 6 seed) face Steven Kwan and the AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians (No. 3 seed) in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series on Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 PM ET on ESPN, featuring commentary from Sean McDonough (play-by-play), Todd Frazier (analyst), & Taylor McGregor (reporter). The series victor here grabs a spot in the Division Series to square off against the No. 2 seed Seattle Mariners. The loser of this series is done for the year. In addition, Tigers vs. Guardians will be carried on ESPN Radio for a national audience, as described by Mike Ferrin (play-by-play) & Kyle Peterson (analyst).

A fun National League Wild Card series matchup serves the late afternoon game on ABC as Xander Bogaerts and the San Diego Padres (No. 5 seed) take on Dansby Swanson and the Chicago Cubs (No. 4 seed) in Game #1 Tuesday, beginning at 3:00 PM ET, with Kevin Brown, Jessica Mendoza, Ben McDonald, and Jesse Rogers on the call. The winner will punch their ticket to the Division Series to face the No. 1 seed Milwaukee Brewers. The loser is eliminated. ESPN Radio provides national audio coverage of Padres vs. Cubs, as play-by-play commentator Mike Couzens & analyst Chris Burke narrate the action from Wrigley Field.

Tuesday's playoff coverage shifts over to ESPN for a primetime doubleheader. First up, at 6:00 PM (ET), one of baseball's best rivalries collides with the postseason feel as Ceddanne Rafaela and the Boston Red Sox (No. 5 seed) visit Giancarlo Stanton and the defending American League champion New York Yankees (No. 4 seed) for the start of a best-of-three Wild Card Series to see which club can move on to the American League Division Series and get the No. 1 seed Toronto Blue Jays. Veteran play-by-play commentator and the voice of "Sunday Night Baseball", Karl Ravech, calls the Red Sox vs. Yankees Wild Card series alongside analysts David Cone and Eduardo Pérez. Buster Olney contributes from the field. Over on ESPN Radio, Roxy Bernstein & Gregg Olsen team up for the radio call.

Tuesday's Wild Card Series nightcap happens from Los Angeles as Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds (No. 6 seed), who somehow wrestled the final Wild Card series spot away from the Mets, go up against Mookie Betts and the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers (No. 3 seed) for Game 1 of the Wild Card Series at 9:00 PM ET on ESPN, with Jon "Boog" Sciambi (play-by-play), Doug Glanville (analyst), & Alden González (reporter) handling commentary duties. The winner goes to Philadelphia and gets the assignment of opposing the No. 2 seed Phillies in the NLDS. The loser sees their campaign conclude. Play-by-play commentator Tom Hart and analyst Tim Kurkjian work the Reds vs. Dodgers series for ESPN Radio.
