Travis Hunter's new hairdo may have surprised fans on Sunday, but his wife, Leanna, was turning heads, too -- thanks to her sexy gameday outfit and custom Jaguars boots for her husband's NFL debut.

The star rookie caused quite the stir when he took the field for his first official game ... sporting a buzzed haircut as the Jags faced the Carolina Panthers at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.

Leanna was front and center to see Hunter’s milestone moment ... and she made sure her outfit matched the occasion.

11:05 AM PT -- The fan at the center of the incident has been indefinitely banned from the Bills' home stadium and any other NFL venue, according to reports.

Lamar Jackson is owning up to his role in a physical altercation with a fan in the Baltimore Ravens' season-opening game against the Buffalo Bills ... claiming while the spectator put hands on him first, he has to be better.

The moment happened in the third quarter of the "Sunday Night Football" matchup at Highmark Stadium ... when the guy slapped Jackson and teammate DeAndre Hopkins while they celebrated a touchdown near the stands.

Jackson retaliated by shoving the young man while the cameras were rolling -- a moment he wished hadn't happened.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills completed an incredible comeback to cap off the first Sunday of the NFL season ... but the quarterback noticed some fans missed out on all the fun -- and he shaded the folks who beat the traffic in his postgame interview.

The MVP sent the message to the fair-weather fans while speaking on the field with Matt Prater, who kicked the game-winning field goal after just signing with Buffalo earlier in the week.

At one point, Buffalo was down 40-25 with 11:42 remaining in the fourth quarter ... and some members of Bills Mafia had seen enough -- 'cause they made their way for the exit signs.

Football season just kicked off, folks, and we want to see if you can take a break from the games and guess who this sports executive is!

We ran into this CEO back in 2017, just after the Chargers moved up the coast from San Diego to Los Angeles, and we wanted to see how he felt about the team's change in scenery.

The NFL is back ... and the wives and girlfriends (and one VERY famous fiancée) are all ready to catch their men in action!!

The 2025 season brings big names like Ciara, Cardi B and Normani -- CiCi is happily married to Giants quarterback Russell Wilson, the rapper is seeing Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs and the Fifth Harmony member is engaged to Steelers pass catcher DK Metcalf.

Taylor Swift will see much more TV time this season (sorry, haters) -- she got engaged to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce last month.

Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson is carrying more than team pride onto the field this season ... he'll be honoring the memory of his late friend, Kyren Lacy, with custom cleats in a heartfelt tribute to the former LSU star.

TMZ Sports has learned that Robertson reached out to popular cleat artist Joe Castro just a few weeks before Lions season opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

We're told Robertson -- who signed with Detroit in 2024 -- looked at Lacy as a little brother, both growing up together in Thibodaux, Louisiana.

Travis Kelce may have been struck by Cupid's arrow ... but he took a different type of hit at his Kansas City Chiefs game last night when he was slapped by his opponent!

Take a look at the clip from the Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil, Friday night -- defensive tackle Teair Tart unleashed his wrath on Travis ... brutally slapping him across his face.

The wild attack came during the game's 3rd quarter after TK collided with and shoved TT during a block, which clearly PO'd Teair. While the slap wasn't a disqualifiable offense, the referee threw the yellow flag and Teair got a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty.

The memory of former LSU star Kyren Lacy lives on despite his tragic death in April ... as friends like Giants star Malik Nabers and Tigers receiver Trey'Dez Green continue to honor him with tributes -- each one bringing his mother to tears.

TMZ Sports spoke with Lacy's mom, Kandace, after Green paid homage to her son, and his late teammate and buddy ... throwing up No. 2 (Kyren's jersey number) during his TD celebration against Clemson on August 30 -- the first game of the LSU season.

Kandace said she was overcome with emotion while watching the heartfelt tribute ... and couldn’t hold back her tears.

Eric Ebron says if his old Colts team wants to return to its winning ways ... it's gotta make some front office changes -- ASAP.

The ex-Indianapolis tight end didn't mince words during a sit-down with TMZ Sports this week ... saying he believes the guys in charge of the Colts' rosters have screwed things up since Andrew Luck left the team in 2019.

"After Andrew Luck retired," Ebron said, "I don't think we've made a good decision yet as an organization."

Kansas City Chiefs football is officially back ... but the team will be missing its most popular fixture for the 2025 season kickoff in Brazil -- Taylor Swift.

TMZ has confirmed the superstar will be notably absent tonight when her fiancé's team takes on the Los Angeles Chargers at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo.

Sources tell TMZ ... it's not a shocker Taylor skipped the international game ... since none of the WAGs made the trip. It's just a 2-day jaunt leaving no time for the fams to intermingle. Plus, it's safe to assume security for Taylor played a role in the decision-making.

Haliey Welch is well aware there's another high-profile spitter in town after the Eagles-Cowboys mess ... and the "Hawk Tuah" OG is down to combine loogie forces!

As TMZ reported ... Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott just after the start of Philadelphia's season-opener against Dallas. He was booted from the game ... and has since apologized.

Haliey tells TMZ ... she thought it was "hilarious" that she was trending right along with Jalen after the spit heard around the sports world occurred, adding ... “I guess he’s now the Hawk Tuah Man!”

NFL season is here and we're serving up a famous WAG whose vacay legs can easily be mistaken for hot dogs! Can you guess the frankfurters in the photo? We'll throw you a few clues, then it's on you to run her into the end zone!

Her future hubby played college ball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and now he's saddled up with the Dallas Cowboys.

Travis Kelce's clearly been spending time with Taylor and a tailor ... as the Chiefs star pulled up to Kansas City's season-opening game in Brazil looking fresh in a custom suit!

The tight end -- who is entering his 13th NFL season -- turned heads as he arrived at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo ... donning some shades, a white shirt and an all-black suit.

The 10-time Pro Bowler looked serious as he went to clock-in ... not stopping to talk with anybody as he buried his AirPods in his ears.

Hours after Jalen Carter spat on Dak Prescott, the Eagles star showed some remorse for his behavior ... calling his actions "a mistake."

The gross scene went down just after the start of Philadelphia's season-opener against the Cowboys ... when Carter was jawin' back-and-forth with Dallas' signal-caller.

At one point, cameras captured the Philadelphia defensive tackle hocking a loogie on Dak's chest -- and when a ref saw it, Carter was ejected from the game.

A new bombshell has entered the NFL universe -- "Love Island: USA" star Huda Mustafa made a surprise appearance during the league's season-opening broadcast on Thursday ... getting her name called to break down the Eagles' famous "Tush Push."

NBC enlisted Huda for a segment on the subject prior to Philadelphia's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys ... going into detail on how it was almost banned this offseason before mocking those who complained about it.

She made a reference to one of her viral moments from the dating show in the process ... saying she's "no football expert, only a mommy."

Young Money is living up to its name and shelling out funds to the youth -- the iconic record label president, Mack Maine, just saved a pair of football programs from going under with a helpful donation!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... Maine recently stepped in to support a program at Harrell Park, the same field where he and Lil Wayne used to play ball back in the day.

We're told the program was on the verge of shutting down due to financial struggles ... but Maine got wind of it and decided to offer some assistance.
