The Iowa State vs. Kansas State "Farmageddon" rivalry is taking a global stage in Dublin, Ireland, for its 109th consecutive game. This unique matchup between two nationally ranked Big 12 teams is also a bittersweet farewell. The rivalry's continuous streak, dating back to 1917, will end in 2027 due to conference realignment, a casualty of the sport's focus on money over tradition.

Rookies and backups shined in the final week of NFL preseason. The Eagles' new WR John Metchie III and Jets' rookie safety Malachi Moore impressed, while Titans WR Van Jefferson and RB Zavier Scott made their case for a roster spot. Cowboys QB Joe Milton III and Bears QB Caleb Williams also finished the preseason on a high note.

Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart finished a strong preseason by throwing his third touchdown pass in as many games. The first-round draft pick completed 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards and three TDs with no interceptions in his three preseason appearances. Despite a minor fumble in the final game, Dart's performance has generated significant optimism for the Giants' future.
