Buffalo beat Gang Green at its own game. James Cook rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns and the Bills (2-0) defeated the Jets (0-2) 30-10 on a sunny afternoon at MetLife Stadium. The Bills have won three consecutive games in their rivalry with the Jets, which began in 1960. Buffalo ran for 223 yards, a week after Gang Green used the ground game to stay competitive in a two-point loss to the Steelers . This was the most rushing yards the Jets have allowed in any game since 2021. The Jets struggled to get anything going offensively. A week after he had one of his best games in recent memory, Justin Fields completed just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards and 49 yards on the ground before he exited the game due to a concussion in the fourth quarter. Fields held the ball in the pocket too long and was inaccurate all day. Against the Steelers, the Jets’ offense was effective by both throwing and passing the ball down the field. They registered 394 yards of offense against Pittsburgh. ...

Ricky Hatton, the hearty British boxer who rose to stardom and fought Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, died Sunday . He was 46. Hatton was found dead at his home in Manchester , authorities said. Police said his death was not considered suspicious. “A true champion, an indomitable spirit, and a legend of the sport ,” the World Boxing Association wrote on social media. “Your legacy will live on in every fight and in the hearts of boxing fans around the world.” Hatton began his boxing career 43-0 , winning title belts at two weight classes during the early 2000s. But it was his style not his record that endeared him to fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Hatton prided himself on “all-action” fights, constantly moving forward with a barrage of punches. “You’ll never be bored out of your skull watching a Ricky Hatton fight ,” he told ESPN in 2007. “I have a very high work rate, I never take a backward step. I take on all comers.” Welterweight boxer Ricky Hatton of Great Britain a...

ARLINGTON, Tex. — Giants third-round pick Darius Alexander ‘s healthy Week 1 scratch was the best thing for the player and the team, defensive line coach Andre Patterson said Friday. Even if it’s tough to be patient, including for the front office that drafted him, Patterson said. “That’s hard for the individual player, and it can be hard for people upstairs, too,” Patterson said ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Dallas Cowboys. “But I’ve been doing this a long time . .. So I’m gonna stick to my guns on that, because I know it’s the best thing for him, but mostly important it’s the best thing for the New York Giants — to let this guy become what I know he’s gonna become.” Patterson made it seem like he banged the table, so to speak, to keep Alexander on a developmental track and out of the rotation until he’s ready. “He’s gonna be a great football player,” Patterson said. “I’m just making sure that he’s the player that we all want him to be. And the worst thing I can do is...

The 38-year-old driver also struck a 32-year-old, believed to be the dead teen’s mother, at Roosevelt Ave. and Benham St. in Jackson Heights. The older woman was hospitalized, but is expected to recover. “He was driving, then he makes a turn and he hits the girl,” a horrified cashier at a nearby deli who witnessed the crash told the Daily News. “He did it on purpose.” Victim Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez was walking away from the Suburban, apparently unaware that the SUV was barreling toward her, according to the witness, who wished not to be named. “She was walking,” the cashier said. “He hit her in the back. I was working. I came outside and I saw somebody cry, and somebody scream.” Police sources said the driver was sitting behind the wheel of his idling grey 2009 Suburban with North Carolina lice...
