The Baltimore Ravens have a little wiggle room in the AFC playoff race. Not a lot, but a little.
The team, after all, is 11–3 as the calendar nears Christmas. The Ravens are a game up on the Miami Dolphins in the race for the conference’s one-seed, and two up on the Cleveland Browns in the AFC North.
Thus, Baltimore can afford a little experimentation. The Ravens dabbled in just that Friday afternoon, with quarterback Lamar Jackson showing off strange new arm angles in the portion of practice open to reporters.

Detroit is on the cusp of tying and setting the record for a single-season losing streak. There have been really bad teams in the past, but one aspect sets this franchise apart.
It’s been an interesting season for Rashee Rice and the Kansas City Chiefs. There has been a veritable circus of attention following the team this year thanks to Taylor Swift dating tight end Travis Kelce.
That has to be a bit of a distraction, but you’d think there’d be a part of most people that would want to snag a photo with Swift even just to say they did.
Not Rashee Rice. The 23-year-old rookie wideout is a strict adherent to the Bro Code and that is precisely the kind of guy you want on your team.
The NFL playoffs begin in less than one month. Each team plays three more games that could make or break their respective seasons.
Four teams know for a fact that they will play postseason football. The Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Philadelphia Eagles have all punched playoff tickets, and they figure to be some of the frontrunners in their respective conferences.
But for the rest of the field, the potential playoff seeding remains undecided, and some desperately need a win (or several) more than others.
C.J. Stroud hasn’t played since sustaining a concussion in Week 14.
Friday, Dec. 22, 2023 will not go down as a banner day in Manchester United’s long, illustrious history.
First, fans of English soccer’s flagship team had to watch as their hated rival—Manchester City—pounded Fluminense 4–0 to win the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Then, United was issued a one-star rating by the British government’s Food Standards Agency for culinary hygiene at Old Trafford.
“A small amount of undercooked meat was inadvertently served during a non-matchday event,” Manchester United conceded in a statement.
As they battle for a playoff spot, the Houston Texans will be without their starting quarterback for Sunday’s tough AFC test against the Cleveland Browns.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, rookie C.J. Stroud has been ruled out for a second straight game after suffering a concussion against the New York Jets in Week 14.
With Stroud out, Case Keenum will start his second straight game for the Texans. Last week, he threw for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 19–16 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans.
With the win, Houston moved to 8–6 on the season.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said the kicking footballs used in the first half of Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the Chiefs were “underinflated by 2, 2.5 pounds.
Win or lose, the new supercharged Dodgers will be interesting — and that’s a good thing for baseball.
