The order will make both vehicle and equipment manufacturers and car companies notify of crashes involving fully autonomous or partially automated cars, according to the Associated Press. The NHTSA has investigated 31 related crashes, with 25 involving Tesla vehicles’ Autopilot system and 10 reported deaths, since 2015. “By mandating crash reporting, the agency will have access to critical data that will help quickly identify safety issues that could emerge in these automated systems,” said Steven Cliff, the NHTSA acting administrator, in a statement....

The Eagles’ executive vice president of football operations, Howie Roseman, confirmed on Wednesday the team will not use the last available tool at their disposal to keep the 30-year-old. “We’ve spent a lot of time discussing this internally and with him and we’ve decided to let Nick become a free agent,” Roseman said, via NFL Media. The franchise tender was reportedly worth about $25million. Roseman insisted the Eagles did not take the decision lightly, but expressed the confidence the team has in Carson Wentz going forward....

The Australian ended his three-year wait for a singles title by beating Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka 6-4 6-3 in his first final on Sunday (local time). Kyrgios was forced to play four singles matches across the past three days due to bad weather in Washington but showed no signs of fatigue in the final as he fired home 12 aces. Less than an hour later, the 27-year-old returned to the court to play the men’s doubles final alongside American Jack Sock....

There’s a four-team playoff out there, and Florida State and Oregon appear the best bets for two spots. That leaves two spots, and there are two guys who want them. They happen to be the two best coaches and most-influential political figures in college football. MORE: Just like that, Ohio State country’s hottest teams | Blake Sims saves everybody for Alabama | Top 25 Roundup Alabama’s Nick Saban and Ohio State’s Urban Meyer have dominated college football since 2003....

The 49ers continued with the narrative that Garoppolo would begin the season as the starting quarterback. But early in the Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Lance made his first appearance and the first quarter, which would end in a touchdown drive. While Garoppolo still took the majority of the snaps, it showed just how comfortable the 49ers were in trusting Lance with the football. Which, of course, has sparked more talk about the 49ers willingness trade Garoppolo this season....

Graham left the game with what appeared to an ankle injury. He returned briefly after gingerly stalking the sidelines. But before long, he was walking slowly back to the locker room for further evaluation. No formal announcement was immediately made about Graham’s status. The Saints have a bye in Week 7, which will give Graham a little more time to treat whatever ails him. MATT SCHAUB EXITS WITH ANKLE INJURY...

It’s been a strong season for both sides; the Seahawks (12-4) won the NFC West, while the Rams (10-6) came in second in the division. In a wild-card round pivotal for many teams, this game will give Los Angeles a chance to ultimately overtake Seattle despite finishing behind the Seahawks during the regular season. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has fielded a league MVP-worthy season, throwing for 4,212 yards, 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions....

Such is a prime example of why NHL teams and their arbitration-eligible players let a third-party settle their contract disputes. That is exactly what the Predators and their 24-year-old Swedish winger did Saturday in Toronto. With Arvidsson reportedly seeking $4.5 million for one season and the team offering a two-year deal worth a total of $5.5 million, the gap between the two sides proved to be too large to bridge in advance of the arbitration hearing....

Last year saw a few expected names in Connor McDavid (Hart Trophy), Auston Matthews (Rocket Richard Trophy) and Aleksander Barkov (Selke Trophy). There were a bunch of surprises, such as Marc-Andre Fleury winning his first Vezina (then getting traded) and sophomore defenseman Adam Fox winning the Norris. A couple of winners went wire to wire, including Kirill Kaprizov’s Calder Trophy twirl. What the upcoming season will bring is anyone’s guess, but expect those names mentioned above — and a couple more — are in the conversations....

This winter’s Games will be the first without NHL players since 1994. That means rosters for the United States, Canada and other international hockey powerhouses will be stocked entirely by minor leaguers, collegians and others playing overseas. A gray area surrounded those playing in the AHL or ECHL on a two-way deal, with the NHL yet to rule definitively on a possible exemption. MORE: Tony Granato a perfect choice to coach U....

By the end of the weekend, thanks to the flat cap and free agency around the bend, there was moving and shaking among quite a number of teams, with the vast majority involving draft picks. A number of big-name players entered the morning of Day 1 on the block, and while Seth Jones, Rasmus Ristolainen, Sam Reinhart, Jakob Voracek and Cam Atkinson were moved — as well as a bunch of guys between the Canucks and Coyotes — Jack Eichel is still a member of the Sabres....
