Text messages were flying all over Cincinnati and beyond on Saturday night in celebration of the Bengals‘ playoff win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Given that pretty much everyone texts now, that was to be expected. But it took on more significance after one fact circulated on social media: The last time the Bengals won at this time of year was Jan. 6, 1991. The first text message sent happened on Dec. 3, 1992. That’s how long ago it was. The thing that for so many of us has become ubiquitous, our… Source link

The streak is over.  The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Las Vegas Raiders 26-19 in Saturday’s AFC wild-card matchup, earning their first postseason victory since 1991 and ending an eight-game playoff losing streak that dated back more than three decades. The game came down to the final moments, partially thanks to a questionable roughing-the-passer call against the Bengals on the Raiders’ Derek Carr and keeping alive a game replete with shaky whistles. But Carr took advantage, converting… Source link

At about 2:30 p.m. PT, it looked like the San Francisco 49ers‘ season was dying. It was back on life support at a little bit before 4 p.m. too.  Somehow, the 49ers made it to the postseason. They came back from a 17-0 deficit against the Los Angeles Rams to tie it. Jimmy Garoppolo overcame a bad fourth-quarter interception to lead an enormous 88-yard touchdown drive to tie it with 26 seconds left. Then in overtime, Garoppolo led a field-goal drive to take the lead and rookie cornerback Ambry… Source link

Thanks to a huge performance on Sunday afternoon, Rob Gronkowski will get to cash in a $1 million bonus check. The Buccaneers tight end had seven receptions for 137 yards in Tampa Bay’s 41-17 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, which earned him a pair of $500,000 contract incentives. The 32-year-old entered their regular season finale in Tampa with 48 catches and 665 receiving yards on the season. He was seven catches shy of 55, which triggered an automatic $500,000 bonus, and 85… Source link

The Detroit Lions are no longer in the pole position of the 2022 NFL draft. The suddenly plucky Lions have now won two of their past three games, including Sunday’s stunning 30-12 victory over the first-place Arizona Cardinals, which has bumped them up to a 2-11-1 record — sliding them into the No. 2 overall pick in next year’s draft (for now). And with three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are now in the draft’s driver’s seat — again — thanks to their… Source link

It took him longer than he said it would, but Jake Paul delivered on Saturday night. The YouTuber, after narrowly winning their first bout in August, got his knockout win over Tyron Woodley. Paul landed a wild knockout blow in the sixth round of their rematch at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday night that sent Woodley falling straight to the mat out cold. The shot by Paul — who walked to the ring to the Village People’s “YMCA” — keeps his undefeated record intact and now gives… Source link

Two bad plays from Kyler Murray. That’s all it took to change the Arizona Cardinals’ footing in the NFC, and maybe the NFC West too.  That’s why the NFL is so hard. The Cardinals had the league’s best record until Monday night kicked off. Then the Cardinals lost 30-23 to the Los Angeles Rams — and had a chance to at least tie after a late onside kick recovery, but Aaron Donald ended the game with a sack — and will wake up Tuesday as the No. 3 seed in the NFC.  That’s three months of… Source link

PORTLAND, Ore. — No David Villa, no Andrea Pirlo, no Frank Lampard. Gone Saturday were the headliners from New York City FC’s past, decorated with just about every trophy imaginable. In their place was as tough-minded group as you can ask for, one that can call itself something those stars never could: champions of Major League Soccer. Alex Callens rocketed home the winning kick and NYCFC stunned the Portland Timbers 4-2 on penalties after finishing 1-1 through regulation and extra time at… Source link
