LeBron James took the night off, and that was exactly the break the Detroit Pistons needed.

The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are in a potentially unique situation next Sunday night where it would be mutually beneficial for the game to end in a tie. If the Washington Redskins beat the New York Giants early next Sunday, the loser of the Packers-Lions game will be eliminated from playoff contention. A…

Though Lions-Packers Sunday night will decide the NFC North title, it is not the only Week 17 game that matters. Washington can apply extra pressure to that Sunday night game with a win over the Giants. The Falcons can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win, but what else might happen requires a lot…

He was only in the game because Jeremy Lin was injured.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters after Monday night’s win that Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith is “fine” after suffering a knee injury. Smith limped off after the last play of the third quarter and was held out for the remainder of the game. The Cowboys had already clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed…

He might have put himself in a bad spot.

Considering the TV ratings monster the Cowboys are, Zach Zenner is throwing himself a heck of a coming out party. In the first 22 or so minutes Monday night, the Lions running back ran for 62 yards and two touchdowns as the Lions took a 21-14 lead on the Cowboys. Zenner also caught two passes…

Sacramento less desperate for a point guard now, though
