Adam "Pacman" Jones, once one of the N.F.L.'s poster athletes for repeated misdeeds, has carried the memory of his friend, Chris Henry, with him since Henry's death in 2009.

Now Jones is raising Henry's children alongside his own.

That Jones, once one of the N.F.L.'s poster athletes for repeated misdeeds, is the head of a modern-day Brady Bunch will shock most casual fans of the game.

What to Watch This Weekend

All times are Eastern.

Football

The only game between unbeaten teams in N.F.L. Week 3 is the Buffalo Bills at the Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa threw for six touchdowns for the Dolphins against the Ravens last week, but the Bills, currently the Super Bowl favorites, should provide a sterner test (Sunday, 1 p.m., CBS).

In college football, No. 10 Arkansas travels to No. 23 Texas A&M. Both teams will be jockeying (along with Mississippi and L.S.U.) to challenge Alabama in the mighty SEC West (Saturday, 7 p.m., ESPN).

Baseball

How many home runs can Aaron Judge hit? He gets two more chances to pad his total this weekend as the Yankees host the Red Sox (Saturday, 1:05 p.m., MLB and YES; Sunday, 7 p.m., ESPN).

Auto Racing

Four drivers are out of the playoffs, and NASCAR begins its round of 12 at Texas Motor Speedway with Chase Elliott in a very narrow lead (Sunday, 3:30 p.m., USA).

News and analysis, on and off the pitch.
