Broncos safety Kareem Jackson again found himself in hot water with NFL fans on Sunday after the 14-year veteran faced criticism over a questionable hit.
The controversial moment occurred after Jackson, in his first game back from suspension, unleashed what appeared to be a devastating helmet-to-helmet hit to Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs on Sunday Night Football.

Maybe Sunday’s performance by the Buffalo Bills, especially their offense, cannot be described as a full on revival. But it was something.
It was an awakening.

At yet another contentious press conference, this time after a narrow loss to the Packers, Brandon Staley looked like a man nearing his end as a head coach (for now). When someone reaches the clip-the-angry-part-of-the-presser phase of their coaching tenure, and those moments become more frequent, we often lose touch with the breadth of the narrative and count down the days until termination. This could, generously, be described as Volume III of Staley’s greatest hits. Social media will take it from there.
The Bills and 49ers’ rollercoaster seasons were curiously linked in Week 11 after the two teams unknowingly traded season-highs in their respective games on Sunday.

In sports media, terms like “historic win,” or “generational talent,” get thrown around so much that they begin to lose their real meaning. We all do it. It’s ok. Sports are exciting and hyperbole is part of the fun. But the Bears lost to the Lions in truly historic fashion on Sunday.
