- NFL: Monday Night Football
- New York Giants 27, New Orleans Saints 10: The Giants dominate a sloppy Saints team that commits 13 penalties, 11 in the first half, and turns the ball over six times. The Giants' Tiki Barber runs for 83 yards and a touchdown, and catches an Eli Manning TD pass. Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks throws for 375 yards, but is intercepted three times. This game was supposed to have been played in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Louisiana Superdome, but was moved to Giants Stadium in The Meadowlands due to Hurricane Katrina. (AP/Yahoo!)
- Washington Redskins 14, Dallas Cowboys 13: Trailing 13–0 with four minutes left in the game, the Redskins storm back with Mark Brunell TD passes of 39 and 70 yards to Santana Moss in a span of little more than a minute. The Skins defense holds off the Cowboys to give them their first win at Texas Stadium since 1995. (AP/Yahoo!)
- During this doubleheader, more than $5 million (US) was raised by a telethon on both ESPN and ABC for the efforts of those devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Famous quotes containing the word september:
“This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
