JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs star Tyreek Hill was transported to a hospital after sustaining a shoulder injury during a 40-26 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Rafael Nadal is one away from matching Roger Federer’s men’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles. Nadal blew a two-sets-to-none lead in the U.S. Open final yesterday before pulling out a 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 victory over fifth seed Daniil Medvedev in 4 hours, 50 minutes. It’s the fourth U.S. Open championship for Nadal, who had dropped only one Grand Slam match after taking the first two sets.
