Let’s take a look back at the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 16 performance against the San Francisco 49ers with Pro Football Focus’ highest and lowest graded players from this game.
Below is a look at PFF’s grading system for some context. While this metric is very helpful when it comes to quantifying a player’s performance, PFF’s grading system isn’t the be-all and end-all either. It is one metric out of many that are out there.

90.0+: Elite
80-89.9: High quality
70-79.9: Good
60-69.9: Above average
50-59.9: Average
40-49.9: Below average
39.

One of the top running back prospects for the 2027 recruiting class has narrowed one of his choices down to Auburn. 2027 five-star running back David Gabriel Georges has narrowed down his list to eight schools that features the Tigers per Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
The list of schools for Georges is a collection of some of the biggest names in college football. The other seven he is deciding from is Alabama, Georgia, Miami (FL), Ohio State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas. According to Rivals, he is rated as the No. 2 running back in the country and No. 1 overall player in Tennessee.

Yet another week of NFL action has passed, and once again, it was a huge slate for Alabama Crimson Tide football.
A slate of games in which multiple teams clinched playoff berths, former Alabama players were back in action this past weekend at the professional level, with many going on to make significant impacts in their respective games. Some of those same names were also recently named to the 2026 Pro Bowl, only adding to what has been a solid overall season for the Crimson Tide in the NFL.

‘Tis the season of giving, so this year we’ve picked 10 needy men’s college basketball teams to receive a Christmas boost before they head into the thick of conference play.
Now you might be saying “hey, these are all power conference programs, the teams that really need gifts are at the mid-major and low-major levels.“ You’re right, but that’s not the true Christmas spirit. Santa, for whatever reason, always seems to be more generous to the kids that don’t really need a boost in the toy department. We are simply following his lead.

Ty Simpson is a unique quarterback in today’s college football landscape, given his decision to stay in Tuscaloosa for three full seasons before finally earning the starting role at Alabama. Opting not to jump into the transfer portal has paid off this season, as he has led the Crimson Tide to the second round of the College Football Playoff. However, that doesn’t mean he didn’t contemplate leaving earlier in his career.
Nick Saban played a role in convincing him to stay at Alabama. The then-head-coach may have lied to the young quarterback to do so, but hey, it worked.

Hot-mic moments have been the talk of the NHL after Philadelphia Flyers radio play-by-play announcer Tim Saunders got caught making a joke with the boys on air last week. 
Saunders is expected to return to the booth on Tuesday night when the Flyers take on the Chicago Blackhawks, and now another NHL broadcasting great — the voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Joe Bowen — is talking about a hot-mic moment he thought was going to cost him his job.

Obviously, USC was not in the holiday spirit over the past two weeks, as the athletic department supposedly found out about the agreement between Notre Dame and the CFP that led to the longstanding rivalry being put on hold for at least until 2030.

His decision to play for Syracuse felt like a coronation. Now, he’s out to prove he’s more than Carmelo’s son.

Liverpool injury latest: Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and more
Liverpool injury latest casts long shadow over festive momentum

Liverpool head into the post Christmas programme with renewed confidence and familiar concern. The upward curve has been restored, back to back Premier League wins for the first time since September, capped by a 2-1 victory over nine man Tottenham. Yet as ever with Liverpool’s winter campaigns, progress has come at a price. Arne Slot’s side emerged from North London with fresh injury worries that threaten to shape the weeks ahead.

 After weeks and weeks of deliberation, the NWSL announced today the creation of the High Impact Player Rule – a mechanism that is designed to provide cubs with expanded flexibility to attract and retain qualified players.
