How right tackle Lane Johnson sparked the Eagles on Saturday night
Jalen Hurts notched his first win as a starting quarterback in the NFL playoffs on Saturday night, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 38-7 win over the New York Giants. After the victory, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni praised his quarterback, comparing him to living legend Michael Jordan.

Jones, who took a significant step in the right direction this season, helped lead the Giants to their first NFL Playoffs appearance since 2016 and first playoff win since 2011. He had a career year in all categories, passing for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns on a 67.2% completion clip, and rushing for 708 yards and seven scores on 120 attempts.

Because of the hope Gauff had to take home her first big title, the 18-year-old was emotional after the match.

Vancouver Canucks fans gave Bruce Boudreau an emotional farewell in what was his final game behind the team’s bench.
It has been a mess of a season for the Canucks. The team has drastically underperformed and the franchise seems totally rudderless. Unless your name is Elias Pettersson, your future in Vancouver is in question. Until Saturday night, that included head coach Bruce Boudreau.
Boudreau knew his time with the Canucks was winding down. Earlier in the week, general manager Jim Rutherford announced that he had spoken to potential head-coaching candidates.
