EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen became just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to beat the New York Jets and New York Giants on the road in consecutive weeks.

Riding the wave of a three-game winning streak dating back to the 2018 season, Allen had some fun with a question asked during his postgame news conference after Sunday's 28-14 victory over the Giants.

A reporter began a question by pointing out to Allen there was a chance he "could have ended up in New York," given the Jets' and Giants' interest in him during the 2018 draft process.

Allen smiled before interrupting the question.

"I am in New York," he said.

After a brief laugh, Allen was asked what he thought he proved to "the New York City fans" and "the New York teams."

Once again, Allen offered a quick-witted response.

"Um, [there's] one New York team," he said, pointing and winking at the reporter. "I'm just kidding. But I care about what the Bills are doing, how our teammates respond, how I play. To have a 'C' on my chest and to go out there and put everything on the line for those guys is what I'm striving to do."

Both the Jets' and Giants' practice facilities are located in New Jersey, as is their shared MetLife Stadium. Geographically, the Buffalo Bills are the only NFL team to practice and play in New York state. That fact is a point of pride among Bills fans, many of whom took to social media to voice their pleasure with Allen's comments.

Regardless of where the Bills' past two games were played, Allen looked comfortable, starting his second NFL season by setting a career high over a two-game span with 507 combined passing yards.

BALTIMORE -- Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray on Sunday became the second player in NFL history to throw for 300 yards in his first two games after a 23-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

"That's a cool deal," Murray said. "But wish we could have won the game."

Murray finished with 349 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions on 25-for-40 passing to join Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in the league's history books. Murray threw for 308 yards in a 27-27 Week 1 tie with the Detroit Lions.

"It just shows you that the talent that everybody saw was real," Cardinals right tackle D.J. Humphries said. "That wasn't a fluke. That's who he is. He's a talented kid."

Newton threw for 422 and 432 yards in his first two NFL games, respectively, in 2011.

Murray was on pace for almost 400 yards Sunday when he finished the first half with 192. He was 16-for-19 midway through the second quarter.

He was hit nine times and sacked three times. Murray averaged 2.36 seconds per play from snap to throw, almost a half-second faster than in Week 1, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

Wide receiver Christian Kirk, who played with Murray at Texas A&M in 2015, wasn't shocked by Murray's feat.

"It doesn't surprise me," Kirk said. "With what he's able to do, where he's able to put the ball, what he's able to do with his feet, it's what the guy does. And he's a winner. He's always going to give you the best position and put you in the right place to go win a football game."

LOS ANGELES -- Drew Brees has been sidelined by an injury for just the second time in his 14 years as the New Orleans Saints' quarterback.

Brees was replaced by Teddy Bridgewater late in the first quarter after his right throwing hand hit Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald's hand at the end of an incomplete pass. Brees had his right thumb and lower hand/wrist area taped up by a trainer on the bench. He has remained on the sideline in uniform, and he was officially announced as questionable to return with a hand injury.

Bridgewater remained in the lineup to start the second half.

Brees, 40, has missed only one start due to injury since high school -- when he missed a Week 3 game at the Carolina Panthers in 2015 with a shoulder injury. He also suffered a major shoulder injury in the final game of the 2005 season with the San Diego Chargers, but he returned in time for Week 1 with the Saints the following year.

Brees completed three of his first five passes before leaving the game Sunday. He threw an interception that was knocked out of tight end Jared Cook's hands on the opening drive.

The Saints have one of the league's best insurance policies in Bridgewater, who is the NFL's highest-paid backup quarterback at $7.25 million this season. The Saints traded a third-round draft pick to acquire Bridgewater from the New York Jets following the 2018 preseason and re-signed him to a one-year deal in March.

Last season Drew Brees performed much better against man coverage than zone -- he had the second-highest EPA/P disparity in favor of man. Last week the Rams ran 78% zone, second-most of any team. Brees faces the Rams tomorrow. ESPN's coverage classification is powered by NFL Next Gen Stats.

MONTEREY, Calif. – Conor Daly and Brandon Gdovic completed a weekend sweep of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America event at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Sunday afternoon.

Daly, who finished off the race win Saturday in the No. 46 Precision Performance Motorsports/Lamborghini Palm Beach Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO, started from pole on Sunday and quickly built a two-second lead while the action was furious behind him.

Jake Eidson, Corey Lewis, Cedric Sbirrazzuoli and Andrea Amici ran nose-to-tail in second through fifth place through most of the opening stint.

It wasn’t until lap 10 when Lewis made an inside pass of Eidson in turn two for second place. Later on the same lap, Amici snuck past Sbirrazzuoli for fourth. A lap later, contact between LB Cup points leader Mel Johnson and Justin Price ended the latter’s race with right-rear wheel damage.

On lap 13, as the mandatory pit window for the 50-minute race was about to open, Randy Sellari spun at the top of the famous Corkscrew turn while leading in LB Cup.

When the pit window opened, Daly, Lewis and Sbirrazzuoli were among the first takers. Gdovic replaced Daly in the No. 46 while Richy Antinucci jumped into the No. 29 for Lewis. As the two raced for the same real estate at pit exit, they made light contact, with the No. 29 getting the temporary advantage. However, Antinucci was soon ordered to cede the position to Gdovic for an improper pit exit.

Adding insult to injury, the No. 29 was then assessed a drive-through penalty for not meeting the 84-second minimum pit stop time (from pit-lane entry to exit) by more than one second. The No. 46 was also penalized for not meeting the pit time requirement, but since its pit stop was less than a second off the minimum, it was assessed a post-race time penalty of 0.234 seconds (double the actual time by which it missed the minimum).

When the dust settled from the pit stop cycle and the penalties, Gdovic held a lead of nearly two seconds over Sandy Mitchell in the No. 1, with Paolo Ruberti third in the No. 27. Mitchell wasn’t done, however, and quickly closed to the rear bumper of Gdovic.

Mitchell made a couple unsuccessful late attempts to pass for the lead, but knowing his car would be assessed a five-second post-race penalty for an improper race start, opted to hold steady in second place at the checkered flag.

The win for the No. 46 completed a weekend sweep for Daly and Gdovic and was their third this season to go with the season opener at Barber Motorsports Park. It was also the third straight victory for Gdovic, who teamed with Shinya Michimi to win the second race of the Virginia Int’l Raceway weekend last month.

“I didn’t have to work as hard yesterday,” Gdovic said. “It was a great battle today and I had to make sure I stayed on our strategy. I knew the (No.) 29 was supposed to give me the lead and he was supposed to let me by. I then let him go back by and I knew he had that drive-through he had to serve. I made sure to pace myself to keep the tires on the car, but it was good to be first over the line.”

“Yesterday we found out what it was like on the older tires, and Brandon did exactly what he needed to do today,” Daly said. “Others made mistakes today and we didn’t. These races, it’s important to stay mistake-free and that what’s we did today. We got two wins this weekend and that’s a great way to finish off the North American portion of the season. It’s been fun to be here this weekend, the car and the track was awesome.”

Meanwhile, Antinucci charged back from the drive-through penalty to make a late pass on Ruberti and claim third place overall and in the Pro class. Antinucci and Lewis lead Gdovic by six points (124-118) in the Pro standings.

For the second straight day, James Sofronas and Steven Aghakhani put on a dazzling duel for the Am class win in the closing lap. And for the second straight day, Sofronas held strong for the win, Aghakhani finished second and Cameron Cassels was third. McKay Snow finished fourth and leads Aghakhani by 13 points and Cassels by 15 in the Am standings.

Eidson started second and turned the No. 09 over to Damon Ockey, who comfortably drove to the win for the ProAm weekend sweep. In the process, the duo clinched the season championship. Ron Atapattu and Patrick Liddy drove the No. 24 US RaceTronics/Lamborghini La Jolla to second place on Sunday. Dani Clos secured the last spot on the ProAm podium when he rolled the No. 69 Prestige Performance/Wayne Taylor Racing/Lamborghini Paramus out of the last turn and past teammate Dean Baker in the No. 53 on the final straight to the checkered flag.

Despite the early contact with the No. 22, Johnson and co-driver Thomas Lovelady finished off the LB Cup victory in the No. 08. Sellari recovered from his Corkscrew spin to finish second in the No. 3, with Matt Dicken taking third. Johnson holds a 14-point lead (115-101) over Ashton Harrison and Stephanie Cemo, who finished fifth Sunday in the No. 43 Prestige Performance/Wayne Taylor Racing/Lamborghini Paramus.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Who knew Suzann Pettersen was such a master architect?

It’s as if she had God’s ear Sunday at the Solheim Cup.

How else do you explain all the stars aligning to create one of the most spectacular endings in the history of women’s golf.

It’s not just the way Pettersen won the biennial international team event for Europe, with 12 matches coming down to her final putt in the event’s final match. It’s not just that it came in Scotland, the birthplace of golf, and it’s not just about the event.

After holing that 7-foot birdie putt to beat the Americans, and after being engulfed by jubilant teammates and adoring fans, Pettersen scooped and hugged her infant son, Herman . . .

And she figuratively rode off into the sunset.

She announced her retirement.

“I think this is the perfect closure,” she said after. “It doesn’t get any better.

“Yeah, this is it. I’m completely done.”

Really? Media dizzied by the news needed confirmation.

“I’m closing it down tomorrow, what more can I say,” Pettersen said. “I’m done.”

As endings go in sports go, that’s as fairytale as the real thing gets.

It ranks up there with Rocky Marciano knocking out Archie Moore in 1956 in Marciano’s last heavyweight fight . . .

With John Wooden retiring after cutting down the nets in 1975 after leading UCLA to its 10^th national championship in his final game as coach . . .

With John Elway winning the Super Bowl in 1999 with the Denver Broncos in his last NFL game.

“It's a dream come true to pull this off here in Scotland, in front of these crowds, for Beany, here at Gleneagles,” Pettersen said.

That’s another fantastic layer to the story.

Beany is Catriona Matthew, the European captain from Scotland, Pettersen’s friend and longtime teammate in these matches. Pettersen’s winning putt was a perfect ending for Matthew, too.

“A fantastic moment,” Matthew said.

As Matthew and Pettersen both explained, the ending was part of a remarkable team effort.

So much had to happen so quickly in the end, to give Pettersen that last putt to win, it left everyone’s head spinning.

The Americans looked like a sure bet to close out the victory after taking a 13½ to 11 ½ lead. They had the Europeans’ backs to the wall with just three matches left on the course. The Euros had to win them all outright. They couldn’t afford to give up even a half point because the Americans would retain the cup with that.

Seventeen minutes later, the comeback was complete.

Boom! Anna Nordqvist finished off Morgan Pressel, 4 and 3.

Boom! Bronte Law defeated Ally McDonald, 2 and 1, when McDonald’s final 5-foot putt at the 17^th hole to extend the match drifted away.

Boom! Pettersen holed her birdie to beat Marina Alex, 1 up.

The last two points came within minutes of each other.

Pettersen was taking her last practice swings before getting over that last putt when the last cheer for Law broke out in the distance, letting all those folks crowded around the 18^th know that everything rode on Pettersen’s putt.

A miss and Alex was assured a half point to retain the cup for the Americans.

“It was absolutely perfect that it came down to Suzann,” said Europe’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff, who was wedged among teammates along the 18^th green. “It was storybook. You couldn’t write it up any better.”

Pettersen, 38, has always been such a thorn in the side of the Americans.

She joined Matthew as heart and soul of the European Solheim Cup turnaround. With the rivalry sagging, with the Americans going for a fourth consecutive victory in Ireland in 2011, Pettersen and Matthew led the Euros to an upset. Pettersen was 3-1 that year. Matthew routed Paula Creamer, 6 and 5, to start the Sunday singles rally.

Pettersen was also a force in 2013, helping the Euros in a record 18-10 rout in Colorado.

“Simply the toughest competitor I’ve ever come up against,” said England’s Laura Davies, who has won more points than any European or American in Solheim Cup history.

But, really, this ending’s better because nobody really knew if Pettersen still had what it takes to be here this week, if she wasn’t too old and too rusty to contribute, or if she even deserved to be here.

Pettersen was one of Matthew’s four captain’s picks, a controversial one at that.

Matthew chose her even though Pettersen took 19 months off around the birth of her child, even though Pettersen had played just three stroke-play events since returning from maternity leave, two of them missed cuts. Matthew chose her even though Pettersen seemed to lose an edge after becoming the focus of Europe’s loss in Germany in 2015, when Pettersen endured the scorn of so many American fans. That was the year Pettersen called out American Alison Lee for picking up a short putt that wasn’t conceded.

But with her clutch finish Sunday, that’s all ancient history.

Pettersen wrote a terrific new final chapter for herself.

It’s a story she can tell her little boy when he’s old enough to understand just how all the stars lined up for her.

“It’s just surreal,” Pettersen said.
