Brian Daboll’s New York Giants are chugging along in the first half of Sunday’s Wild Card matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Giants QB Daniel Jones has been impressive through the air and on the ground, but his greatest jaw-dropping play was a seamless Statue of Liberty handoff in the red zone.

Bringing back memories of Boise State’s legendary game-winning Statue of Liberty against Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, Jones received the snap, faked the short pass to a motioning Saquon Barkley and DJ temporarily duped the defense by slipping the behind-the-back handoff to Breida.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to be one of those people that wants to argue that Alex Ovechkin isn’t the best goalscorer in NHL history.
Here’s another reason: trying to be one of those people will only end in frustration.
On Saturday night, the Capitals hosted the Philadelphia Flyers for the second half of a home-and-home series. While the Caps came up short to the Flyers (who are on a heater at the moment) Ovechkin potted the Caps’ only goal in the 3-1 loss.
That in and of itself is completely insignificant.

With the Dolphins losing to Buffalo, seventh seeds are now 0-6.
Three years ago, the NFL decided to expand its playoff tournament from 12 to 14 teams. Introducing a seventh seed in each conference, however, has not necessarily improved the competitiveness of the Wild Card playoff round.
With both the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks losing their respective games in Buffalo and San Francisco this weekend, seventh-seeded teams are now 0-for-6 since the playoff expansion.

The Giants’ TD was a quick answer from New York after Minnesota marched 65 yards for a score on its opening drive.

Tony Perkins slammed the break-away dunk to increase the Iowa Hawkeyes’ second half lead against the Maryland Terrapins.

Buffalo can’t play three more games like it did against the Dolphins and expect to win the Super Bowl.
In perception and perhaps in their own minds, the Bills have been pacing for a year, scrolling mindlessly on their phones and checking the time even when they knew what time it was. They have been waiting for another shot at a team that is their equal—for the highest stakes. That chance, finally, is coming. We are about to find out whether these Bills are who they think they are.

The refs may have gotten this one wrong.
The final play of Sunday’s Bills–Dolphins wild-card game sparked a controversial reaction over whether or not Bills running back Devin Singletary passed the first-down marker on his game-clinching run.
The official call was that Singletary succeeded on his third-down run, but the play quickly went under review as the call was debated on social media.
The announcers on the CBS broadcast seemed to be surprised with the call, as Jim Nantz said it looked “a foot short” before the officials marked it as a first down.

Buffalo’s emotional season continued with another inadvertent tribute to its injured safety.
The Bills‘ emotional season continued during the wild-card round with another inadvertent numerical nod to injured safety Damar Hamlin.
Buffalo defeated the Dolphins 34–31—with the margin of victory, three, equalling Hamlin’s jersey number.
