Jimmy Garoppolo flashed a smile at a very unfortunate time Sunday against the Eagles.
The 49ers suffered a 31-7 blowout loss to Philadelphia in the NFC title game, and San Francisco was overwhelmed by injury issues. Brock Purdy got hurt, his backup Josh Johnson got hurt and then Purdy had to re-enter the game, despite not being able to throw.
With the team down 21-7 early in the third quarter, Garoppolo was picked up on camera grinning ear-to-ear.

After a day of NBA fans pretending like LeBron James‘ last-second foul on a layup attempt was going to get ignored by the Association, the referees union issued a statement to address the whole matter.

Wow. Just wow…

The missed foul call prompted the referees union to tweet a statement on Sunday, calling it a “gut-wrenching” omission.
Seriously, a lack of a foul call was … gut-wrenching.
“Like everyone else, referees make mistakes,” the National Basketball Referees Association tweeted.

Last week he had the world’s most-obsessed-over limb. Now, he has a win over a budding rival and an upcoming trip to the Super Bowl.
The ankle—that famous, concerning, inflamed ankle—had a day on Sunday. Patrick Mahomes limped and hobbled on it. But he also threw and dashed and spun on it. And, with no less than a third trip to the Super Bowl in the past four seasons at stake, the Chiefs turned to Mahomes and Mahomes turned … on that ankle, barreling toward glory and Super Bowl LVII.

Though hobbled by a high ankle sprain, Patrick Mahomes came through for the Chiefs when they needed him, with perhaps the signature moment of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game coming on the QB’s final snap.

Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai lamented his penalty in the closing seconds of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game that put the Chiefs in position for Harrison Butker’s game-winning field goal.

KANSAS CITY — In the crucible of a tie game with a Super Bowl berth at stake, we witnessed the singular moment that lifted up one man as a hero and drove another man to tears.
This AFC Championship Game game goes into the record books as a 23-20 Kansas City Chiefs victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
But it goes into our memory as that scramble in the final 17 seconds by Patrick Mahomes. And that out of bounds push of Mahomes by Bengals linebacker Joseph Ossai that added a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty.
The play defined the game. And, like it or not, the players.
