Last Night
New England Patriots 25, Atlanta Falcons 0
Patriots 25, Falcons 0 – Swaggering Pats stifle Falcons 25-0 for 5th straight victory
Mac Jones threw a 19-yard scoring pass to Nelson Agholor for the game’s only offensive touchdown and the New England defense took care of the rest. The result was a 25-0 shutout of the Atlanta Falcons for the Patriots’ fifth straight victory. New England wasn’t nearly as dominating as four days earlier, when the Patriots blew out the Browns 45-7. But it was good enough against a feeble Falcons offense that hasn’t scored a touchdown in nearly nine quarters. Nick Folk booted four field goals and Kyle Van Noy had two sacks and a late interception return for a touchdown.

MLB – Most baseball minor leaguers to be provided their own beds
Most minor league players will get their own beds provided in team housing under a new Major League Baseball policy. Stepping up improvements for minor leaguers after widespread criticism, MLB’s housing policy will require teams provide furnished accommodations, with a single bed per player and no more than two players per bedroom. The housing must be located at a reasonable distance from the ballpark, and teams will be responsible for basic utility bills. MLB estimated the policy will apply to 90% of minor leaguers, all except those making $100,000 or more or with major league contracts.
MLB – Manfred: Lockout preferred to in-season strike if no deal
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says owners are focused on reaching a labor deal, but he is signaling they likely will lock out players if the current deal expires Dec. 1 without a new agreement. Baseball had eight work stoppages from 1972-95, but there has been labor peace since a 7 1/2-month strike began in August 1994 and forced the cancellation of the World Series for the first time in 90 years. Talks have been going on since spring but have lacked the momentum toward an agreement that characterized negotiations that led to deals in 2006, ’’11 and ’16.
