41+ min ago (493+ words) The Wisconsin Badgers had plenty of issues holding them back this season, but the No. 1 problem started with the quarterback position, and it's a top priority for Luke Fickell this offseason. After Saturday's loss to Minnesota, which saw both Carter Smith and Hunter Simmons take snaps under center, the head coach admitted his frustration with the injuries and inconsistency at the sport's most important position. "It's been a battle," Fickell said. "I don't want to say struggle. It's been a battle all year, just the injuries in particular, and then trying to figure out, which direction do you go, hoping to get guys back and not getting guys back." It began with starter Billy Edwards going down with an injury in Week 1 against Miami (OH) and trying to come back against Maryland, but he missed a total of 10 games as…...

The point is, the Buccaneers need their best players if they're going to compete. Bottom line. And that is a luxury the team hasn't had all season long. Thankfully, it appears as though more cavalry is finally on the way." In a report published by Ian Rapoport on Sunday morning, he revealed second-year WR Jalen McMillan has been ready to resume practicing. Somewhat lost in that same report, though, was some big news regarding the Bucs' most accomplished offensive player, Mike Evans. Rapoport suggested that Mike Evans could be back in uniform and ready to play as early…...

55+ min ago (244+ words) Every yard has been tough for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's not shocking considering they're without left tackle Dion Dawkins and right tackle Spencer Brown. In their place are Ryan Van Demark and Alec Anderson, who are having issues slowing down T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. MORE: Aaron Rodgers remarks on Josh Allen and 'all the damn commericals he's in' That's led to multiple runs from Josh Allen, including one late in the second quarter that should have resulted in a 15-yard penalty. Allen, who had to escape pressure from Watt, ran for one yard and slid down just short of the sticks. As he slid, Pittsburgh linebacker Patrick Queen hit Allen hard, sparking outrage on the bench. The refs decided not to throw the flag, leaving the broadcast crew shocked. This wasn't…...

56+ min ago (392+ words) PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers entered their Week 13 matchup needing a win. After the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, it gave the Steelers a slight lead once again in the AFC North. A victory would extend the lead to a whole game and put them in strong posiiton again as the division leader. The Steelers' challenge in Week 13 was already tough, facing the Buffalo Bills and their MVP quarterback, Josh Allen. The challenge only grew more difficult as the Steelers lost one of their key defenders in the second quarter. During a Bills' offensive drive, middle linebacker Patrick Queen went down and had to be assisted off the field with an apparent lower-body injury. It seemed like a routine play when he suffered the injury. Following a rushing attempt from the Bills, Queen limped for a few steps before…...

1+ hour, 13+ min ago (432+ words) Max Brosmer made quite the rookie mistake, and disaster ensued for the Minnesota Vikings. Facing a 4th and 1 from the Seahawks' 4 yard-line late in the second quarter of Sunday's game, Brosmer took the snap and immediately had DeMarcus Lawrence in his face as he rolled out to the right. With the play basically dead before it had a chance, Brosmer tried to make something happen and instead made a catastrophic error. As he was being taken down by Lawrence, he blindly underhand tossed the ball in the direction of Seattle's end zone. It never had a chance to get there. Where it did land was in the waiting arms of linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who went 85 yards the other way for a touchdown. Instead of the Vikings tying the game at 3-3 or taking a 7-3 lead, they found themselves down 10-0. "Oh no!...

1+ hour, 14+ min ago (453+ words) KANSAS CITY, Mo. " The Chiefs" 1-6 mark in one-score games represents one of their most frustrating aspects of the season so far. That season isn"t over just yet. And if Kansas City can stem the tide, there"s plenty of hope. That"s because teams with six-or-more such losses are prevalent in the playoffs every year. But the Chiefs are without question at the very end of their rope. "The guys," Andy Reid said after Thursday"s 31-28 loss at Dallas, "they understand we've got to clean up a few things, and we've got to do better as coaches. We have to do better as players. And so, you go back to the drawing board, and you keep working is what you do. "We're close here. Too many opportunities that we gave away, and you can't do that with two good…...

Los Blancos fell behind in the first half, but Kylian Mbappe scored from the penalty spot in the second half. Xabi Alonso's team looked off in the first half, not creating much in front of goal despite controlling plenty of the ball. It was a great goal that gave the home side the lead; nothing Thibaut Courtois could have done would have kept it out. It's another tough result with Real Madrid now sitting second in the table, one point behind Barcelona. After a lively opening five minutes from the home team, Real Madrid started to control the possession. The first chance fell to Arda Guler, who curled his effort wide of the post after great work from Kylian Mbappe. After weathering…...

1+ hour, 36+ min ago (503+ words) Ever since Shedeur Sanders took over the starting role, all eyes have been on him and his development with the Browns, and if he can maintain the starting job against fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. In the first home start of his NFL career, it was a series of highs and lows for Sanders, but overall the offense was flat in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the struggles, Sanders will still have the opportunities available to prove himself, as head coach Kevin Stefanski has named Sanders the starter next week against the Tennessee Titans." While Sanders will start against the Titans, Stefanski would not entertain any conversation about commiting to him further than just one week. Over the weekend, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Browns are open to getting an extended look at Sanders. Against the 49ers, Sanders started…...

1+ hour, 43+ min ago (498+ words) TAMPA " The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in desperate need of getting back into the win column after losing three straight contests coming out of their bye. They got just that against the Arizona Cardinals, returning home to Raymond James Stadium on a day where they added legendary edge rusher Simeon Rice into the Ring of Honor and coming away with a 20-17 win. It wasn't the prettiest, but the Bucs got it done. Here's how we graded out the team's performance. Tampa Bay has struggled to get its tight ends involved in 2025, and even when they have, it hasn't been great. Cade Otton had two catches for nine yards, while Payne Durham had one catch for 11 yards. We most definitely would want to see more from this unit as the rest of the season unfolds. Maybe get Devin Culp some more…...
