The storm never came Saturday, until it did. And the NFL’s hottest team showed—to anyone who might still doubt them—that they’re built to win it all.
The banner is visible but not necessarily prominent. It hangs near a corner of the Levi’s Stadium home locker room, in an otherwise blank space between two lockers. On a white background five years are spelled out in red numbers—1981 to ’94—each connoting a season in which San Francisco won a Super Bowl.

LeBron James was visibly frustrated during his postgame interview after the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Buffalo Bills needed everything to avoid being upset by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, including a shoving match between Josh Allen and Christian Wilkins. The shoving match turned into somewhat of a brawl thanks to Bills’ O-lineman Mitch Morse stepping in to defend his quarterback.

LeBron James and the Lakers apparently don’t think warming up before games is very important.
The Lakers lost 113-112 Sunday to the 76ers to fall to an embarrassing 19-24 on the season, but you wouldn’t have known there was any sense of urgency from how LeBron and Russell Westbrook behaved before the game.
Instead of focusing on gearing up for a win, the duo thought putting on a show for the fans was necessary.
LeBron threw up a hook shot from the corner as him and Westbrook started dancing.
