Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard was asked last week if he’d view this season as a disappointment if it didn’t end with a Super Bowl ring. Yes, he answered. “We’ve accomplished some good things,” Byard said. “But when the playoffs start, none of that stuff means anything.” He was right. It didn’t. For Saturday’s AFC divisional playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals at frenzied Nissan Stadium, the Titans were as rested and healthy as they’ve been all season. They had Source link

Ben Roethlisberger all but announced his retirement from the NFL on Sunday night in Kansas City. After the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ 42-21 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC’s wild-card round, the longtime Steelers quarterback sounded like he had played for the final time in the league. “It’s tough. I’m proud to have played with these guys,” he told reporters postgame. “God has blessed me with an ability to throw a football, and has blessed me to play in the greatest city, Pittsburgh, with the… Source link

On Dec. 26, in a prime-time game, the Dallas Cowboys beat Washington by 42 points. While the hype after that game was out of control, it was justified. The Cowboys looked Super Bowl-worthy. A few weeks later, that same team went one-and-done in the playoffs. The Cowboys are on an improbable streak. They haven’t played in a conference championship game since the end of the 1995 season. This failure will linger for a long time. It’s a team that had the offensive and defensive stars to make… Source link

The New York Giants lost their fifth straight game by double digits on Sunday, and this was the ugliest of them all. Facing the 5-10 Chicago Bears, a team widely expected to fire their head coach after this season, the Giants weren’t just bad on offense, they were historically putrid. With starting quarterback Daniel Jones shut down for the season, back-up Mike Glennon finished the day 4-of-11 for 24 passing yards, two interceptions and four fumbles (two lost). Of Glennon’s four completed… Source link

Friday night was a tough one for Anthony Davis. The Los Angeles Lakers star, after rolling his ankle early in the night at the Target Center, left L.A.’s 110-92 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves early after suffering a left knee contusion.

Urban Meyer’s career as an NFL head coach has basically devolved into the old joke about Russian history: “And then, things got worse.” In a week that started with Meyer already on possibly the hottest seat in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars reacted to a mid-week, off-field embarrassment with another on-field embarrassment, this time a 20-0 shutout loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Titans might have still been missing their most important weapons in Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, but it was… Source link

Graphics card giant Nvidia’s (NVDA) plans to buy Arm, which licenses chip designs, looks all but dead after the Federal Trade Commission sued to block the deal on Thursday. The move is just the latest blow to the $40 billion deal and would seem to strike the final blow to a deal that would have been one of the largest chip industry mergers in history. Nvidia’s stock, however, was up slightly on the news late Thursday, though it was down Friday along with the broader market. That could… Source link

Solomon Bozeman wasn’t going to wait until they got back home — or even until after the game. The Arkansas-Pine Bluff head coach was so upset on Wednesday night at Hilton Coliseum that he actually made his players run sprints in the middle of the game. While it didn’t work — the Golden Lions fell to No. 19 Iowa State 83-64 in Ames for their eighth loss in nine games on the season — Bozeman’s move was certainly an unusual one for college basketball, to say the least. Bozeman called… Source link
