Ravens face a difficult rest disadvantage in their 2026 NFL schedule

The NFL released the regular-season schedules for all 32 teams two weeks ago, and one of the biggest topics of discussion among fans, pundits, and experts is the lack of rest for some teams compared to others.

Rest differential is a real thing, according to NFL analystArif HasanandWarren Sharp.Hasan describes his version as the "sum net rest days vs. opponents across all 17 games." Hasan calculates it by adding up the difference in rest days between each team and its opponent for all games. A high positive number means the team has more recovery and preparation time than the teams it faces.

Sharp uses net rest edge to general rest advantage, and notes the unfavorable historical nature of the 2026 schedule for some teams.

A rest edge in the NFL is the number of extra days a team has to rest and prepare for their game over their opponent.

An example of rest edge: if theDolphinshave a full 7-day bye week ahead of their game vs. the Bills, and the Bills play on Monday Night Football and are on a short week, the Dolphins have a rest edge of +8 days before their game against the Bills. Conversely, the Bills have a rest edge of -8 days.

Based on Hasan's version, only the Steelers,Rams, Colts, Dolphins, Saints, Jets,Raiders,Eagles, and Chargers will play against 2026 opponents on less rest than theRavens.

On the positive end of the schedule spectrum, the NFL team with the highest net rest differential in Hasan's version is theChicago Bearsat +15, a total of 15 extra days compared to their opponents. The Bears, along with theBuffalo Bills(+14) and Dallas Cowboys (+11.5), have the highest net rest differentials in the league since 2002. The Bears, Cowboys, Bills, and 12 other teams won't face a single team off a bye week in 2026.

Warren Sharp Rest Disparity

In Sharp's version, Baltimore has a -3 in rest differential, with 11 other teams getting less rest.

Baltimore opens the season on September 13 against theIndianapolis Coltsbefore hosting theNew Orleans Saintsin Week 2. One of the most unique games on the schedule arrives in Week 3 when the Ravens face the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking another major international showcase for the franchise.

Baltimore's 2026 slate again looks brutal, featuring matchups against playoff contenders such as the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Chargers, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Ravens close the regular season with two massive AFC North battles against Pittsburgh in Weeks 15 and 18, potentially setting the stage for another dramatic division finish.

Danica Patrick produced best Indy 500 by a woman 17 years ago

Danica Patrick etched her name in the history books 17 years ago upon becoming the highest-finishing woman in the Indianapolis 500.

Back in May 2009,Patrick- who'sslated to lead FOX Sports' coverageof the 2026Indianapolis 500qualifying on Saturday and Sunday - secured a third-place finish during 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.' Castroneves ultimately claimed the checkered flag, beating second-place finisher Dan Wheldon to the line by 1.9819-seconds.

After beginning the race 10th on the grid, Patrick slowly crept her way through the field before a mental gaffe on pit road caused her to slide back down. Once the Beloit, Wisconsin native slid through her box on a stop with the caution flag out on Lap 100, she dropped from P6 back down to 10th.

The brief setback turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Patrick subsequently received a front-row seat to the carnage in front of her. As several crashes knocked major contenders - including Tony Kanaan and Vítor Meira - out of contention, she managed to emerge from the wreckage unscathed.

With 17 laps remaining on a restart, Patrick engaged in a tightly-contested battle with Wheldon for second place, thereby allowing Castroneves to pull away from the pair and eventually win.

Assessing her performance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Patrick said at the time: "I had a really good car; a really good car on long runs. I would get good runs on Dan but it wasn't enough.

"Oh well, what are you going to do? I went to the outside on the restart and thought I had the momentum but we were just dead-even. The track got better as the day went on. My car really came to me. We were able to run really flat all the way around. I'm happy with it. I wish we had a better shot at the win but what are you going to do?"

Since hanging up the racing gloves in May 2018, Patrick revealed that she's still overcome with a feeling of nostalgia upon returning to the Brickyard, which played host to many of her best finishes.

"Real good feels. I always have a lot of reverence and respect for here, too, just with the facility, the history," Patrick toldFOX Sports' Bob Pockrasslast May.

"The only thing I thought when I was young, as I was coming up through racing, is I just thought to myself that if can make it, it'll be a big deal. But I don't know what that meant," Patrick said. "I didn't really put a lot of imagery to or ideas to what it would be to be a big deal.

"I just knew it'd be a big deal because it was just something that hadn't really happened. Women had been in racing, but to do well is like a whole other thing."

What did Commanders HC Dan Quinn say about adding Stefon Diggs?

Washingtonhead coach Dan Quinn had some fun with the "Sports Junkies" on Friday.

Quinn took questions from three of the Junkies, answering only "yes" or "no" questions until they could figure out who he actually is. Jason Bishop facilitated the fun time while Eric Bickel, John-Paul Flaim and John 'Cakes' Auville attempted to guess the identity of their mystery guest.

Bickel didn't waste any time, abruptly asking, "Can we sign Stefon Diggs?" The other three Junkies broke into laughter, finding it funny that Bickel didn't want Quinn to be able to ease into the interview with any icebreaker. Bickel then took it a step further, "Can we have (Brandon) Aiyuk and Diggs?"

Quinn responded, "We're working hard and doing well with the guys we got. Adam (Peters) and his crew are always digging in and working. But we really like the crew that we are working with right now. They're absolutely busting their ass."

When rookie WR Antonio Williams became the focal point of the conversation, Quinn reported he saw "right off the bat, this guy has feel. He already has awareness, like a big-time receiver. He's got great hands, great movement. So, he's off to a hell of a start."

Auville and Bishop both voiced to Quinn that they already have a man crush on LB Sonny Styles, picked No. 7 overall by theCommanders. "What an ideal fit for the style we want to play," exclaimed Quinn. "We (Peters and Quinnn) were thrilled when he (Styles) was there at that spot. It was a super-easy decision for Adam in that one. When that trade was made just before us (Chiefs moved up to No. 6 trading with theBrowns), those are the moments you hold your breath. When we had the chance to select him, we were pumped!"

What does Quinn think of Styles after the draft and rookie minicamp? "Being around him the last couple of weeks has only reinforced what he can bring to our club, which is really cool."

F1 legend Alain Prost reportedly injured during armed robbery at home

Four-timeF1world championAlain Prostreportedly sustained a head injury during an alleged robbery in his Swiss home earlier this week.

According to a report in Swiss tabloidBlicklate on Friday, the 71-year-old Prost suffered a head injury from intruders who forced his son to open a safe during the robbery on Tuesday morning.

Swiss police are now investigating the incident.

“The perpetrators entered the residence while the occupants were present, threatened them, and forced one family member to open a safe before fleeing with the stolen goods,” the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“Despite the extensive search operation launched, the perpetrators have not yet been apprehended at this stage.”

The police did not name the victim but said that several balaclava-earing intruders broke into the house.

“Once inside, they threatened the occupants and inflicted minor head injuries upon one family member, under circumstances that remain to be established,” added the police.

“The perpetrators then forced another family member to open a safe before making their escape with stolen items, a precise inventory of which is currently being compiled.”

According to theBlickreports, Prost was “visibly shaken by this brutal intrusion” and has since left the home, which is in Nyon, beside Lake Geneva.

Prost is aFormula Oneicon and racked up four Drivers’ World Championships between 1985 and 1993, racing for Williams, McLaren and Ferrari during his illustrious career.

He had a fierce and legendary rivalry with the lateAyrton Senna, which culminated in title-deciding collisions at Suzuka in 1989 and 1990, even thought the pair was McLaren teammates at the time of the former.

The Frenchman, nicknamed “the Professor” held the records for most podiums (106), most wins (51) and fastest laps (41) in F1 at the time of his retirement, although those numbers have since been surpassed.
