Even without Caitlin Clark, the Fever have found themselves in the thick of the playoff chase, just two games back of the No. 4 seed. Their last game didn't help matters, as a controversial 81-80 loss to the Dallas Wings set them back. Kelsey Mitchell led the team in scoring with 24, with Natasha Howard adding 12 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, and three blocks in the loss. The Mystics looked to be racing their way up the standings, but a four-game losing streak knocked them outside the playoffs. After a lone win to break the streak, the Mystics took another loss, 88-83, to the Golden State Valkyries. Four starters scored in double figures, with Sonia Citron (15 points) and Sug Sutton (15) leading the way. Washington and Indiana have split their first two meetings this season, and will play again in Washington on September 7th.

How to Watch Tennessee Titans vs Atlanta Falcons: Live Stream NFL Preseason, TV Channel
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Tennessee Titans will face the Atlanta Falcons in week 2 of the NFL preseason on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Titans vs Falcons - NFL Preseason Week 2 Titans vs Falcons - NFL Preseason Week 2 Coley Cleary How to Watch Titans vs Falcons Date: Friday, August 15, 2025 Time: 7:00 PM ET Channel: NFL Network Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) In limited action during week 1 of the preseason, first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft Cam Ward looked ready to take over as the franchise quarterback for Tennessee. The Miami product finished the night 5-8 for 67 yards and already seems to have formed a connection with Calvin Ridley, who caught three of his passes for 50 yards. While a majority of the Titans' starters got their feet wet last, the Falcons sat all of their regulars in their preseason opener. Michael Penix Jr., Drake London, and Bijan Robinson all got the night off, and it will be interesting to see if Atlanta decides to give their second-year quarterback any run before the games start to count. Penix could benefit from some playing time before the start of the regular season, but the risk of injury might be too steep a price for the Falcons. They have already hinted that he will not suit up in this one. This is a great NFL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action. This game will be nationally broadcast on the NFL Network, which can be live-streamed with a free trial subscription to FuboTV.
