However, as a brief refresher, here is a quick recap for those just getting caught up on the news. With the Chiefs trailing 20-17, it looked as if Kansas City had scored the go-ahead touchdown with just over a minute remaining, on what might have been the NFL’s Play of the Decade.

It’s a Monday in the middle of December and I’ve been up since 6 a.m. trying to find NASCAR content for you all.
I dare you to name me another writer in this great country doing that today. Don’t waste your time looking, because he/she/(they?)/(them?) don’t exist. I exist — albeit with a headache from yesterday’s round of golf — and I’m working my tail off for you today.
You ever tried to write about NASCAR in December? Ain’t easy. The banquet’s over. The season’s been over for over a month.

Lamar Jackson delivered an MVP-like performance in the win against the Rams to put the Ravens on the No. 1 seed line in the AFC again.
Jackson and the Ravens might not have the top spot for long if the Dolphins beat the Titans on Monday night. Baltimore, however, might have the most complete team in the AFC, especially with how well the offense played against the Rams.
The Chiefs have fallen two games behind in the race for the No. 1 seed after back-to-back losses to the Packers and Bills.

Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore and Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown exchanged some heated trash talk during Dallas’s 33—13 win over Philadelphia on Sunday night. The fact that Brown, one of the NFL’s best wideouts, didn’t run wild on the Cowboys is part of the reason they were able to emerge victorious. Dallas can thank Gilmore—and in a way—Brown, for that. 
The Eagles wideout provided the Cowboys defender with some motivation through a comment he made on the first possession of the game.

Kirk Herbstreit is going on offense against his haters and critics.
The ESPN star was one of the biggest voices pushing for Florida State to be left out of the playoff after Jordan Travis’ injury, and that’s exactly what the committee did.
A one-loss Alabama team was selected for the fourth spot in the field over the 13-0 and ACC champs FSU Seminoles.
The decision lit the college football world on fire. People are absolutely livid, and for good reason. How does an undefeated P5 team get kept out? The anger is certainly justified, and a lot of that anger has been directed at Herbstreit.

Pat didn’t hold back.
It goes without saying that Patrick Mahomes was fired up after the game-defining offsides penalty on Kadarius Toney which wiped away the best touchdown of the season, effectively leading to a Bills win.
Mahomes has blasted the referees publicly, as did Andy Reid — but video of Mahomes meeting with Josh Allen post-game shows that the quarterback was venting to his competition as well.

Even though we are soon turning the calendar to 2024 and the pandemic is very much in the rearview mirror, some can’t discuss Novak Djokovic without associating him as being anti-vax. The reality is that Djokovic was never anti-vax and has explained his stance for two years now, yet it appears CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ didn’t get that memo ahead of their interview with the tennis legend over the weekend.
Djokovic making the personal choice not to receive the COVID-19 vaccination ahead of the 2022 Australian Open very much made him a villain to some in the sports world.

Here’s our latest 2024 NBA mock draft.
The strength of an NBA draft class is typically evaluated on the star-power of its top picks and the depth of starting-caliber players below them. In that sense, the 2024 NBA Draft has been considered one of the weakest classes in recent memory from the very start the process. With college basketball, G League, and international play all underway, it still feels like the start of this cycle has presented questions than answers on both fronts.
Who will be the first player chosen in the 2024 draft? It remains wide open.

Dan Campbell didn’t attempt much spin after the Bears beat the Lions 28-13.
Detroit simply looked outclassed across the board during the Sunday afternoon loss to Chicago. It wasn’t pretty, and downright brutal for fans to watch.
Chicago entered the game with just four wins. There’s no excuse for Detroit to lose to a team like the Bears if people are supposed to believe they’re a real contender.
If you want to be viewed as a legit franchise, then you can’t lose to a team several games under .500. It’s truly that simple, and the Lions didn’t get the job done.
