Lamar Jackson's Anger Gave Ravens What They Needed To Beat Seahawks
Patrick Mahomes Could Return To Chiefs In Less Than 3 Weeks
PATRICK MAHOMES
Kansas City Chiefs quarter- back Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a dislocated kneecap Thursday night against Denver, could return in three weeks, if not sooner, league sources told ESPN.
The Chiefs are expected to exercise extreme caution with Mahomes, and the time off will allow him to rest his knee and high ankle sprain.
But the Chiefs escaped dis- aster when the MRI on Ma- homes' knee came back as, according to an NFL source, a "best-case scenario" on Fri- day.
So while Mahomes is gone, the Chiefs have a couple of options to back up Moore starting with next Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. In the interim, the Chiefs will need someone to back up new starting quarter- back Matt Moore. The most likely candidate, according to sources, is Kansas City's prac- tice-squad quarterback Kyle Shurmur, the son of New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. The Chiefs also have Chad Henne on in- jured reserve, and he could be designated to return.

Lamar Jackson’s frustra- tion had reached near com- bustible levels.
He had the Baltimore Ravens in scoring position at the 16- yard line on a crucial late third- quarter possession against the hosting Seattle Seahawks. But then that opportunity seem- ingly started slipping away.
First, tight end Mark An- drews dropped a perfectly- placed pass in the end zone. Then, center Matt Skura couldn’t hear Jackson clap for the ball because of the deafen- ing cheers of the Seahawks faithful and drew a delay of game penalty, after which Jackson slammed the ball — once he finally did get it — to the turf in rage.
Two plays later, with his team facing fourth-and-2, coach John Harbaugh was content to settle for a field goal to break a 13-13 tie. That com- placency didn’t sit well with Jackson. As the field goal unit

Michael Jordan Tears Up At
Opening Ceremony Of Medical
Center: 'I Feel Fortunate'
Basketball legend Michael Jordan was in tears on Thurs- day when he helped to open the first of two clinics in Charlotte, which were made possible thanks to a $7 million donation from the Hornets owner.
“As you can see, it’s a very emotional thing for me to be able to give back to a commu- nity that’s supported me over the years,” Jordan said during a ceremony that marked the of- ficial opening of the Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic, according to WSOC.
The facility will serve under- privileged residents who may not have access to health insur- ance and will provide them with physical, dental and be- havioral health services. It is lo- cated in one of the poorest areas of Charlotte, the news station reported.
Jordan made the multimil- lion-dollar donation to Novant in 2017.
“When I heard Novant Health’s plan to bring not only primary care, but other needed services to the community, there was no doubt in my mind that this is where I wanted to help make an impact,” Jor- dan, 56, said in a statement posted to the Novant website.
“I feel very fortunate to be able to give back in this way, because I believe that your ZIP

code or neighborhood should not determine the quality of your health care — or whether or not you can even get care at all,” he added.
The clinic is already making an impact in the neighborhood. “There’s a lot of people that are living here who are low in- come, they don’t have health insurance,” Sharelle Blake, a patient at the clinic, told
WSOC.
“This is going to open
many opportunities for the whole community,” she contin- ued. “Mr. Jordan cannot imagine just exactly what he did for me and my family.”
The facility is equipped with 12 rooms and has since served 300 patients since its soft opening three weeks ago.
On Friday, Jordan opened up about the clinic and why he’s supporting athletes who are taking a stand for what they believe in.
trotted onto the field, the seething second-year quarter- back made a beeline for his coach and demanded a change in play calls.
“I told him, ‘We’re going for it,’” Jackson later recounted. “I told him to go for it because we needed to score. We had moved the ball down the field twice. We’re not kicking a field goal because Russell Wil- son’s getting the ball again, and if we didn’t score, it might look ugly.”
