The Chiefs put toget

  Djokovic loses at the Australian Open: What happened, and what it means for Sinner MELBOURNE, Australia -- There were plenty of reasons to suggest Jannik Sinner could spoil Novak Djokovic's quest for a record-breaking 25th major title when the pair met Friday in the semifinals of the Australian Open. Sinner had been the most in-form player of the tournament, winning 15 consecutive sets in the lead-up to the match. His dominance in the early rounds meant he was also the fresher of the two, with Djokovic having spent close to four additional hours on court through his first five matches. And then there was recent history; Sinner was the only player on tour to have beaten Djokovic twice in the last 18 months. With that said, there was nothing -- absolutely nothing -- that remotely hinted Sinner could hand Djokovic one of his most shocking Grand Slam losses. Here are three takeaways from Sinner's 6-1, 6-2, 7-6 (6), 6-3 semifinal win over Djokovic. Djokovic beat himself, in a way

  Spadaro: 10 takeaways from a season-ending loss in Tampa Bay TAMPA, Fla. – The Eagles' 2023 season came to a halt at Tampa Bay on Monday night in the Super Wild Card Playoff finale of the weekend with a crushing 32-9 loss to the Bucs. Philadelphia lost 6 of its last 7 games, sending the Eagles into the offseason with a lot of questions to answer. Missing wide receiver A.J. Brown, the offense had one touchdown drive that included two big plays, and that was pretty much it for the night. The defense had gaping holes throughout the game, missing safeties Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown as the Bucs made big gain after big gain, mostly in the passing game. It was an incredibly disappointing way to end the season. Here are some takeaways from the 2023 season finale ... 1. A two-possession sequence late in the third quarter stretched a 16-9 Tampa Bay lead – a score that indicated the Eagles were still in the game, but barely so – to 25-9, and both the offense and defense were culpable

 Bills 31, Steelers 17 | Final score, game highlights + stats to know As the Bills kicked off to the Pittsburgh Steelers to begin their Super Wild Card matchup, Highmark Stadium was full of snow. Throughout the game, that snow found the air as fans tossed it into the air after each Buffalo touchdown in the Bills' 31-17 win, which punched their ticket to a Divisional Round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday. Quarterback Josh Allen contributed a flurry of explosive plays, including a 52-yard rushing touchdown — the longest in Bills postseason history. The quarterback went 21-for-30 for 203 yards and three touchdown passes, adding 74 yards and a score on the ground. After the Steelers punted on the game's opening drive, Allen and the Bills offense executed to near perfection, averaging eight yards per play and ending with a lofted pass to Dawson Knox to take the lead – one they would not relinquish for the remainder of the game. The Bills defense forced three three
