Collin Sexton scored 22 points and Keyonte George added 21 as the Utah Jazz defeated the Miami Heat 117-109 on Saturday in Salt Lake City. Miami’s four-game winning streak was halted thanks to a big game from Bam Adebayo. He finished with 28 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, three thefts, and three blocks. Tyler Herro finished with 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists. In the fourth quarter, George scored 12 points. The youngster hit a career-high tying five 3-pointers to help the Jazz extend their winning streak to seven games in a row. Former Miami player Kelly Olynyk contributed…
Brock Purdy admitted to aiming for the home run ball down big Christmas night, proving that you can’t win them all. The quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers is coming off his worst game in his young NFL career. Purdy threw four interceptions against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16, the most by any 49ers quarterback since Colin Kaepernick in 2015. Worse, they occurred before the ten-minute mark of the third quarter. The signal-caller, on the other hand, recognises his errors and accepts the national media’s criticism. Purdy is completely aware of the footage and plans to analyse it as…
Zay Flowers of the Baltimore Ravens missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but is scheduled to play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The rookie receiver returned to practice on Friday, but he was limited. Flowers is expected to play, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, after receiving nine passes for 72 yards and a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. He was targeted 13 times by quarterback Lamar Jackson, with no other Ravens player receiving more than four attempts. Flowers has the most receiving yards (752), targets (105), and receptions (74) on the team. Mark Andrews, the squad’s…
The Buffalo Bills have activated defensive tackle DaQuan Jones from the injured reserve list after he missed nine games with a torn pectoral muscle that necessitated surgery earlier in the season. “I’m excited, put a lot of work in to get to this point and I’m just happy that my body was able to heal as quickly as it did,” Jones told reporters on Friday. “I’ve had no issues in practice and and I pushed it pretty well in everything I did…. I’m confidence in my ability to play at a high level.” In addition, the Bills have signed OL…
This weekend, the Patriots will be without one of their greatest defensive players. The organisation downgraded Jabrill Peppers and Kayshon Boutte to out for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Peppers will miss his second game in a row after suffering a hamstring injury in the Patriots’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Peppers was absent from all of last week’s sessions and did not play in the Patriots’ comeback victory over the Denver Broncos. He missed the first two practices of the week, on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to practise on Friday in a limited capacity.…
The ‘nimble car concept’ introduces changes that include a greater dependence on active aerodynamics, which allows some aspects of the automobile’s design to dynamically modify dependent on prevailing conditions. While three-time world champion Max Verstappen is concerned about losing complete control of his car’s aerodynamics, Red Bull’s design guru, Newey, is unfazed by the impending shift. Verstappen: I want to be in charge. “Then you have active aerodynamics, which you [the driver] can’t control, the system will control it for you,” Verstappen remarked of the new regulations. “It makes driving very awkward because I prefer to control it myself.” “Of…
With rookie safety Ji’Ayir Brown declared out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, veteran Logan Ryan is set to make his first start in red and gold. Ryan’s ability to effortlessly transition into San Francisco’s secondary is exactly why coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch opted to sign him in early December after Talanoa Hufanga and George Odum were injured. Ryan is the starting safety now that Brown is out with a knee sprain. “I’m just really glad we have him right now,” Shanahan said on the newest “49ers Game Plan” broadcast to Greg Papa. “I didn’t…
The Buffalo Bills were able to salvage their season. Firing Ken Dorsey proved to be a positive decision, as they’ve established greater balance and peaked at the perfect time. Nonetheless, their shaky start to the season left them with no room for mistake in the final stretch. That is why, in their divisional matchup with the New England Patriots this Sunday, they cannot rest on their laurels and simply go through the motions. Bills WR Gabe Davis told NFL Network’s James Palmer that they realise they can’t dismiss the Patriots because they’re still a good team. “We are concerned about…
Max Verstappen has declared his favourite Formula One championship year among the three he has won in a row. After a brilliant and record-breaking year behind the wheel of the RB19, the Dutchman became a three-time F1 World Champion at this year’s Qatar Grand Prix. It was perhaps one of his easiest title victories of his career, as he went much of the season unopposed and scored more than double the points of his nearest challenger, Sergio Perez. “That’s why I believe this year has been the best in terms of performance.” The first has been the most difficult. “The…
Jurgen Klopp has expressed sympathy for Eddie Howe and Newcastle United following their recent problems. The Magpies travel to Anfield on New Year’s Day having lost six of their past seven games in all competitions and looking to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat. Meanwhile, Liverpool now leads the Premier League table, having lost only once this season – and that came in the dying moments against Tottenham Hotspur when down to nine men. Speaking ahead of his team’s match against Newcastle, Klopp expressed sympathy for his counterpart and the number of injuries he has had to deal with this season…
