The Minnesota Vikings, their fans and fantasy football players patiently waited for Justin Jefferson to return from injured reserve. The star wideout missed seven games after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5.
Not wanting to rush their young superstar back, the Vikings took their time. Despite Jefferson practicing for nearly three weeks, they held him out until after the team’s Week 13 bye week.

Bobby Boucher, Adam Sandler’s character from the movie The Waterboy, would not be happy with Bengals quarterback Jake Browning.
Browning had to leave Cincinnati’s Week 14 game against the Colts early in the fourth quarter. At the time, it was termed a thumb injury. But the Bengals’ account on X, formerly known as Twitter, cleared things up, saying that Browning was dealing with cramps.
After the game, Browning spoke to CBS Sports‘s Tiffany Blackmon about the cramps, explaining the simple reason why he was forced to leave the game.
Fox Sports found a hysterical way to respond to Taylor Swift’s “Dads, Brads, and Chads” comment.
Earlier this week, TIME Magazine named the world-famous pop-star as their “Person of the Year.” If you think that’s a shock, you lived in isolation for the past few months.

As NFL fans painfully know, TV broadcasts obsess over Swift wherever she appears at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
It looks fairly clear that there are more Denver Broncos fans inside SoFi Stadium than Los Angeles Chargers fans for the clash between the two teams on Sunday.
That doesn’t surprise anyone, of course, as the Chargers have one of the worst home-field “advantages” in the entire NFL. It gets a lot worse when the other Los Angeles team faces an opponent with either a huge national fanbase or a team that resides a short plane ride away from LA.
Getting from Denver to Los Angeles isn’t overly difficult and Broncos fans proved that on Sunday.
What do we make of Zach Wilson outdueling the Texans’ defense on Sunday, playing perhaps his best game as a professional just a few days after the Jets were unsure they’d give him the ball and signed Brett Rypien as insurance?
Actually, the answer is pretty easy. It’s the same thing we should have made of Wilson the last few times he’s done this, most memorably during his rookie season in a win over the Titans, an eventual No. 1 seed in the conference. Or, most recently in a near loss to the Chiefs back in Week 4.
Bronny James inherited the chasedown block genes.
After suffering a major health scare before the regular season, USC G Bronny James has finally made his debut for the Trojans, and it has come with some fireworks. James has played limited minutes, but has an assist, a rebound and a chasedown block that looks really, REALLY similar.

Day and Ko are the first Grant Thornton Invitational winners as the LPGA and PGA Tour’s first mixed event produced an incredible weekend.
Lydia Ko and Jason Day are the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational mixed event winners. They posted a bogey-free final round 66 to finish at 26-under and beat the Canadian team, Brooke Henderson and Corey Connors, by one shot.
The duo went 58-66-66 in the 54-hole event, conquering every single format thrown their way.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is in the concussion protocol after his head slammed against the turf vs. the Jets, and Nico Collins also exited early with a calf injury.
USC freshman Bronny James came off the bench in his collegiate debut Sunday, less than five months after he suffered cardiac arrest.
The Texans couldn’t get a break in Sunday’s 30—6 loss to the Jets, and the NFL officiating crew wasn’t helping.
Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud exited in the fourth quarter with a possible head injury after getting hit by the Jets’ Quinnen Williams and Quinton Jefferson. Stroud slammed the back of his head on the turf and was briefly examined in the blue medical tent before heading to the locker room. Multiple sources have reported the No. 2 pick is currently in concussion protocol.
