Favorites Flattened: Purdy in Melbourne, Maye Lost Patience

The coronation never arrived. Host Jim Rand breaks down San Francisco's 27-7 demolition of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia. Brock Purdy threw three touchdowns. Mike Evans scored in his Forty-niners debut. Myles Garrett finished with zero tackles and later called it the worst version of himself in front of 100,021 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Drake Maye did not hide after three fourth-quarter interceptions in Seattle. He said he lost patience and cost the Patriots a game they led 10-0 against a backup. That is the next-step test, not a press-conference slogan. In Los Angeles, the Dodgers finally put Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list. Knee, biceps, neck. Earliest return is September 23. Dave Roberts admitted he would love to have made the move last week. In the Bronx, Anthony Volpe came back from Triple-A with a grand slam and five RBI the night before a Subway Series on September 11. Production quiets a city faster than a narrative. Watch the tape.
