AUBURN, Alabama – Football can be an extremely emotional game, but when it comes to the Iron Bowl against blood brother rival Auburn, Alabama coach Nick Saban says it is much better to play with your brain.
“That’s one of the things that we really try to teach players,” Saban said on his radio show this week as he prepared the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide (10-1, 7-0 SEC) to play at Auburn (6-5, 3-4) on Saturday (3:30 p.m., CBS) at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

A fight in the second half of the Jets–Dolphins Black Friday tilt turned bloody for an NFL referee and resulted in two ejections.
The two teams became involved in a fracas following the extra point try of Raheem Mostert’s touchdown. During the fight, Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons pointed his arm at one of the Dolphins’s offensive players. 
In the motion of pointing, Clemons struck umpire Carl Paganelli in the face. Due to being hit in the mouth, Paganelli was shown spitting blood.

The Jets were all set to head into the locker room within shouting distance of the Dolphins.
New York struggled at times in the first half Friday afternoon, but had yet to completely fold against a contending Miami team. The Dolphins led the Jets 10-6, but there was little reason for coach Robert Saleh’s squad to completely panic yet.
The key word here is yet.
With two seconds left in the second quarter, New York quarterback Tim Boyle threw a Hail Mary pass that was reeled in by Miami safety Jevon Holland—and returned 99 yards for a touchdown.

Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill added another great moment to his special 2023 season on Friday after finding the endzone against the Jets for his 10th touchdown of the year.
Hill’s latest score came on a seven-yard TD catch that saw the dynamic wideout shed a would-be tackler in the process. As Miami fans inside MetLife Stadium went wild, Hill immediately turned his attention to the front row, where he went to greet his new bride, Keeta Vaccaro Hill—the sister of ex-NFL player Kenny Vaccaro.

Just seconds before halftime, the 2023 Jets offense hit a new low in its Black Friday AFC East showdown with the Dolphins.
After Brandon Echols’s pick-six of Tua Tagovailoa cut the Miami lead to 10-6, Jets DB D.J. Reed intercepted Miami’s signal-caller with only two seconds remaining in the first half.
From the New York 49-yard line, Tim Boyle launched a Hail Mary pass as the clock expired.
As the ball reached the Miami goal line, Dolphins safety Jevon Holland intercepted the pass and returned it 99 yards for one of the most improbable pick-six returns you will ever see.

Friday’s Iowa–Nebraska tilt in Lincoln was destined to be a slog. 
Sportsbooks put the game down for the lowest over-under total in college football history at 24.5 points. And the matchup lived up (or down) to that expectation with the Hawkeyes and Cornhuskers combining to score 23 points in a 13–10 victory for Iowa. 
Two fans in attendance wore sweatshirts that indicated exactly what was in store.
