Sometimes it is pretty easy to beat the same team three times in a season.
Unlike last season, we will have both top seeds playing on conference championship weekend.
The Philadelphia Eagles raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead on the New York Giants and never looked back on their way to a 38-7 victory in the NFC Divisional Round.

Jéssica Andrade absolutely destroyed Lauren Murphy, winning a unanimous decision bout that should have been called a minute into the final round.
Andrade’s speed was too much for Murphy in the first. She hit 16 of her first 20 leg kicks, further slowing down Murphy’s movement. The second round was all Andrade, who put on a striking clinic on her feet.

Trevor Lawrence’s second year in the National Football League came to a close on Saturday. After the game, his leadership was on full display.
Jacksonville, which won just three games in 2021, fired Urban Meyer midway through Lawrence’s first season in the league. It hired Doug Pederson during the offseason and saw one of the best turnarounds in league history.
The Jaguars lost seven of their first 10 games and entered their bye week at 3-7. Upon their return to play in Week 12, everything started to click.

Some teams received more recent attention, but Philadelphia served up a reminder of how strong it is with a 38-7 destruction of New York in the divisional round.

UFC 283 started off on a high note, as Johnny Walker wasted no time in knocking out Paul Craig.
The TKO occurred only 136 seconds into the fight. Walker (20-7) caught Craig (16-6-1) with a strike to the face, then capitalized with a flurry of shots to Craig, who was on his knees. There was no other option but to call the fight, which is exactly what happened.

It was a tough ending to the 2022 season for Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, as Kansas City edged Jacksonville 27–20 on Saturday night to advance to the AFC Championship Game next Sunday for the fifth straight season.
The loss ended what was a promising year for Jacksonville in Doug Pederson’s first season at the helm.

Top-ranked Iga Swiatek was eliminated from the Australian Open by Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Coco Gauff fell to Jelena Ostapenko.

Despite playing on one foot, the Chiefs’ “ultimate competitor” amazed us again—this time with his toughness—to lead Kansas City to its fifth straight AFC championship game.
Patrick Mahomes had the kind of injury to his left ankle that would leave most of us looking for crutches and a bottle of pills. Mahomes did not even want an X-ray. He said afterward that “it’s all in God’s hands,” and because he was in pain, I will forgive him for referring to himself in the third person.
Mahomes left and came back, but the Chiefs are still here.
