In recent years, one of the eight NFL divisions periodically will produce a champion with a record at or below .500. This year, the league could have two division champions that fail to win at least as many games as they have lost. As Week 17 approaches, more and more fans will complain about the…

There’s at least a chance that if IK Enemkpali doesn’t break Geno Smith’s jaw, that Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t get on the field this year. But now that he’s there, they want him to stay. Jets coach Todd Bowles made it clear he wanted to bring back Fitzpatrick at the end of his current contract, which…

Bengals cornerback Adam Jones sent some holiday cheer in the direction of the Steelers after the Bengals lost Sunday’s chippy matchup with their AFC North rivals. Jones wasn’t the only player jumping onto social media to stoke the bad blood between the two teams. Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert wrote that he hopes to face the…

Even with a win that moved them to 3-10, the Browns are still in the hunt for the first pick in the draft. But if nothing else, beating the 49ers makes them a little bit less of a vacation destination. Browns coach Mike Pettine was careful to point out the big-picture implications, but there was…

During Sunday’s Raiders-Broncos game, an Oakland pass along the sideline was ruled a completion, but Denver thought the receiver failed to get both feet inbounds. The Broncos wanted to have time to check the replay and throw the challenge flag as the Raiders were lining up to run the next play, so Broncos linebacker Von…

It wasn’t just the four passes he caught, or the touchdown. And he certainly didn’t play every snap in his first game back from a knee injury. But make no mistake, the return of Rob Gronkowski was evident last night in the Patriots’ 27-6 win over the Texans. “He’s one of the focal points of…

The Bills drew even with the Eagles in the third quarter of Sunday’s game and seemed to have momentum going their way in a game that was essential to their playoff hopes. That momentum came crashing to a halt largely created by the front line of the Eagles defense. The Bills stopped moving the ball after…

The Falcons lost their sixth straight game on Sunday and they put up very little fight against a Panthers team that was happy to score the only 38 points of the game to continue their push toward an undefeated season. Flaws are easy to find in all phases of the game and it’s almost impossible to…

Wade had 8 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Kevin Durant scored 31 points - all but two after halftime - and Oklahoma City rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat Utah 104-98 in overtime Sunday night, the Thunder's second win over the Jazz in a three-day span.

It was enough for the Patriots to get Rob Gronkowski this week, so Tom Brady had someone to throw to. But their next fill-in-the-blank challenge is going to be on the other side of the ball. A defense that is facing its own injury issues laid waste to the Texans, holding them to seven first…

The 'Hawks goalie has posted back-to-back shutouts.

Let’s offer hearty congratulations to NBC NASCAR analyst Kyle Petty and Morgan Castano, who were married this weekend.

Down by 16 at one point, trailing for the entire second half and staring squarely at what would have been a four-game losing streak, the Miami Heat were in serious trouble.

The only thing uglier than the Patriots special teams might be their injury report. Their best defensive back, Devin McCourty, just limped to the locker room, taking one of their difference makers out of the back. Of course, they still might have enough to beat the Texans tonight, but it could pose a problem down…

Crystal Dunn and Christen Press scored goals in the next-to-last game of Abby Wambach's professional career.

For a guy who looked cooked two weeks ago, Rob Gronkowski has bounced back pretty nicely. The Patriots tight end, who appeared to think he was out for a significant time when he took a shot to the knee two weeks ago against the Broncos, is moving well enough to give his team a halftime…

Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones is due to become a free agent in March. He can probably scratch the Steelers from his list of potential suitors. At some point today, Jones made a video that he posted on Instagram and linked via Twitter with this message: “That’s how I feel!!!! F–k Pittsburgh!!!!” In the video, Pacman…

He made a season-high 42 saves in the victory.

The Patriots have taken hit after hit on offense this year. This one will be tough to patch. Running back LeGarrette Blount just left the field, as athletic trainers were working on his left leg, before heading to the locker room. He’s been ruled questionable to return with a hip problem. Blount gives their offense…

The old throw-the-ball-off-the-opponent play.

Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict made waves before Sunday’s game against the Steelers, after he confronted Steelers linebacker Vince Williams for a death threat posted by Williams on Twitter after the last game between the teams. During the game, Burfict did something that was largely unnoticed, especially by the officials. As posted by former Steelers quarterback…

It took them a few tries, but the Patriots finally got into the end zone. The Patriots went up 7-0 on the Texans, with former Texans wideout Keshawn Martin getting them on the board first. That came after an apparent Brandon LaFell touchdown was negated by an illegal formation penalty (which John Harbaugh would probably…

The Islanders beat the Devils 4-0.

“We don’t have any pressure. … We’re training, laughing and joking, and when the games come, we work hard for each other."
