Josh Allen tossed for 359 yards and two touchdowns, and Deonte Harty established a franchise mark for the longest punt return touchdown, as the Buffalo Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins 21-14 on Sunday night in Miami Gardens, Fla., to win the AFC East for the fourth consecutive season. Buffalo (11-6) won its fifth straight game when Allen threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Dawson Knox midway through the fourth quarter. Taylor Rapp’s interception with 1:13 remaining sealed the victory. Trent Sherfield also scored, and Khalil Shakir had 105 yards receiving for the second-seeded Bills, who will face the seventh-seeded Pittsburgh…
Ezekiel Elliott of the New England Patriots eloquently summed up his team’s chilly experience Sunday in a 17-3 loss to the New York Jets in Week 18. Several inches of snow fell on Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, as the two teams competed on flaky white grass. Elliott was asked about the bizarre weather conditions on the field after the game. The 8-year pro emphasised that it’s a much harsher experience than many people, including his younger self, believe. “When I was younger, I always wanted to play a snowball fight.” “Then I played a game in the snow and…
The Brackley-based band shared a picture of the trio visiting Silverstone on their social media channels. Hamilton enters 2024 having not won a race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, while George Russell, in his third season with Mercedes, is keen to become a regular race winner. The pair just signed a new deal with the team that would keep them there until at least the end of 2025, therefore it is now up to Mercedes to supply them with a car capable of fighting for the world title. Schumacher, on the other hand, will return to the team…
According to the latest reports, Liverpool will have competition for the signing of Wolves attacker Pedro Neto. Neto, 23, has been in fantastic form for Gary O’Neil’s side this season, scoring once and providing eight assists in a tremendous comeback after a difficult season last year. The small winger has impressed with his pace, skill, direct approach, and quality when playing off the right side, and he plays in a position that top clubs will want to recruit in over the next few windows. Both the Independent and Neil Jones reported on a Neto move to Liverpool, and now David…
Jason Verrett of the San Francisco 49ers experienced a shoulder injury that will necessitate rotator-cuff surgery. Verrett suffered the injury during Thursday’s practice when he landed awkwardly on his shoulder. Verrett joined the 49ers practice squad in December and was expected to make an impact this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. Verrett has had the worst injury luck, with six season-ending injuries prior to this one. Verrett, 32, has only played more than 10 games in a season twice in his nearly decade-long career, including during his Pro Bowl season with the San Diego Chargers in 2015. The experienced…
Bryce Huff, a defensive end with the New York Jets, has emerged as one of the team’s few bright spots in a terrible season. According to Next Gen Stats, the 2020 undrafted free agent ranks second in the NFL in pressure rate among players with at least 250 pass rushes and leads the club with eight sacks. With numbers like these, Huff should command a sizable payout when he hits the free-agent market this winter. It remains to be seen whether that money will come from the Jets. Despite his significant influence, Huff has only played 42% of the defensive…
The Miami Heat will be without star Jimmy Butler as they prepare to face the Phoenix Suns tonight. It will be the seventh game he has missed since hurting his calf against the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 18. Butler head coach Erik Spoelstra discusses the team’s plans as they complete their current five-game road trip. While returning from the calf strain injury against the Utah Jazz on Dec. 30, he suffered another injury, this time to his foot. He’d be out for the next three games, including the Heat’s win against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. According to the…
Lewis Hamilton was vocal about his displeasure with Mercedes’ approach last year, but things will be different in 2024. There were early indications that Mercedes would struggle with the W14. Many of these were from pre-season testing, when the lap times did little to flatter the 2023 rival. The Silver Arrows discovered their error after only one race in Bahrain. The decision was made promptly to discard the “zeropod” concept, which had reached its limit. Nonetheless, Mercedes was unable to apply its new ideas right away. Even yet, a more traditional design would never alleviate all of their concerns. This…
The Dolphins are 11-5, and the Bills are 10-6, and their meeting on Sunday night is in Miami, yet Buffalo is the betting favourite. The Bills are favoured by 2.5 to 3 points in the Sunday night finale, which will determine the AFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. That should come as no surprise. The Bills have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL this season, but when they’re on, they’re one of the league’s elite teams. And the Bills were at their best the previous time they faced the Dolphins, thumping…
Jarrell Miller’s hits keep coming. Miller was arrested for carjacking without a firearm or weapon and burglary with assault or violence just over a week after being stopped by Daniel Dubois on the Day of Reckoning card in Saudi Arabia, according to ESPN. Miller has been accused of escaping in a recently confiscated Dodge Ram pickup after choking and slamming a dealership employee to the ground. Miller was being arrested on $30,000 bail and was still being held this evening. Miller had promising hopes as a future American heavyweight, but his career was derailed when he tested positive for many…
