Colts' Tyquan Lewis addressed media members dressed as Oregon Ducks' mascot after losing bet to teammate
On Wednesday, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Tyquan Lewis paid his debt to his teammate DeForest Buckner. Lewis faced media members dressed as the Oregon Ducks’ mascot Puddles, following the Ducks’ victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes earlier this month.
Lewis spent four years with the Buckeyes from 2014-2017. Meanwhile, Buckner stood out for the Ducks from 2012-2015 before becoming a perennial Pro Bowler at the NFL level.
You can see where this is going. Lewis and Buckner seemingly made a bet on the Week 7 game between Oregon and Ohio State, a game that the Ducks of course won to make their first big statement as a member of the Big Ten.
Lewis and Buckner walked to the stage together to address reporters ahead of their press conference on Wednesday, where Buckner told a comedic story about his teammate’s new look in the Ducks mascot outfit.
“See, this specific duck… He was a bad duck,” said Buckner in a video shared by James Boyd, who covers the Colts for The Athletic. “See, he was a long-life Ohio State Buckeyes fan. And you know, with a lot of training and beating into him, he became Oregon’s biggest supporter. Go Ducks! Isn’t that right, Tyquan?”
#Colts DT DeForest Buckner just burst into the media room with the Oregon Duck, who he’d reveal is Tyquan Lewis. I guess Tyquan, a former Ohio State player, lost a bet to DeFo, a former Oregon player, when the Ducks knocked off the Buckeyes. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/90TXgf2sm0

Lewis was a good sport throughout Buckner’s speech. But when his headpiece was finally taken off, you could tell that he wasn’t overly pleased with wearing the Ducks costume.
Bucker got the first laugh over Lewis in the newly formed Big Ten rivalry between Oregon and Ohio State. But given how great these two programs have been in recent years, Lewis will likely get his chance for redemption somewhere down the road, potentially even as soon as the Big Ten Championship later this year.

Where Oregon Ducks rank in industry recruiting rankings for 2027 class
With the winter evaluation period of high school football recruiting now behind us, we’ve seen some of the top recruiting sites update their rankings over the past few weeks and start to reset their boards for the 2027 class. In February, On3 shifted players around after getting fresh looks at the class, and 247Sports did the same earlier this week.
So with Oregon’s handful of commits getting new ratings, where does the Ducks’ class rank nationally in this cycle?
If you look at sites individually, it looks different, with 247Sports having Oregon sitting at No. 13 in the nation. At Rivals, though, they take the industry ranking, which factors in their own rankings, plus an average from 247Sports and ESPN.
In the industry rankings, Oregon sits at No. 9 in the nation, with five commitments.
Going into the summer months, the Ducks are in a great spot, leading or among the top schools for a handful of the top prospects in the nation, like 5-star QB Will Mencl or 5-star WR Dakota Guerrant. We will see what movement Oregon can make in the coming months after official visits take place early in the summer.

New Data Shows Oregon E-Scooter Injuries on the Rise
Data released by the Oregon Health Authority this week suggests Oregonians are getting hurt on electric scooters more every year.
In recent years, according to OHA, an “e-scooter-specific code” was developed for health care tracking purposes.
From 2021 to 2024, annual injury reports under this code from Oregon hospitals and emergency departments jumped from 211 to 418.
And in just the first nine months of 2025, there had been 509 such reports.
“These injuries are not minor scrapes,” said Dagan Wright, an OHA epidemiologist, in a written statement. “They often involve head injuries, broken bones, and other serious trauma that requires emergency or inpatient care.”
The city of Portland signed contracts with three e-scooter rental companies in 2018, as the transportation craze spread across the country. But e-scooter injury diagnosis codes are relatively new in health care reporting, Wright said in the OHA statement.
“While the overall numbers remain smaller than for other transportation-related injuries, the rapid increase over a short period of time is a clear safety signal,” OHA added.
The agency highlighted the story of Portland e-scooter commuter Daniel Pflieger, who it says was riding a scooter home when he reportedly slid on ice. He bruised several ribs.
Sometimes outcomes are worse. OHA identified 17 deaths linked to electric or motorized scooters since 2018, and seven of those occurred in 2025.
OHA says that e-bikes raise many similar safety concerns as e-scooters. The first full year for which e-bike injuries were coded for reporting was 2023. State data shows 392 reported e-bike injuries that year, 683 in 2024, and 760 in the first nine months of 2025.
“Injuries involving e-bikes and e-scooters share common risk factors—speed, lack of helmet use, roadway design, and interactions with motor vehicles,” Wright said.
Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
