If Las Vegas Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce didn’t have the attention of team owner Mark Davis prior to the team’s Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, he certainly has it now after leading the franchise to 20-14 victory against the reigning Super Bowl champs on Monday.
With the win, Pierce improved to 4-3 in his limited tenure with the franchise. Sunday’s victory also sparked a list of Pierce’s former teammates and players calling for him to be considered for the head coaching job permanently.

Aaron Rodgers continues to be in the news, even though his season is officially over, thanks to the New York Jets‘ roster decision.
Rodgers has been rehabbing from his torn Achilles, and despite his initial hopes, wasn’t healthy enough to be cleared to return to the field. The Jets though, decided to place him on the 53-man roster so that he could continue practicing. While perhaps beneficial, it took a spot away from someone on the fringes of the roster.
Unsurprisingly, given how sports media frequently criticizes him for virtually everything, he was hit hard for the roster choice.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic put on a show on Christmas against the Phoenix Suns, dropping 50 points as he propelled the Mavs to victory.
Doncic is in the midst of an incredible season in 2023-24, and his performances of late have left his teammates stunned.
After the win on Monday night, Dallas forward Derrick Jones Jr. perfectly broke down what it’s been like playing alongside Doncic this season, and he offered plenty of high praise to the 24-year-old.

The Giants (5-10) were eliminated from the postseason with their 33-25 loss at Philadelphia. New York’s 2-8 start certainly didn’t help, even though undrafted free agent quarterback Tommy DeVito gave to the team a flicker of hope by leading it on a late three-game winning streak.

The New York Jets showed no interest in bringing in Joe Flacco earlier this season. But he’s not sweating it.
“Is what it is,” Flacco said, via The Athletic‘s Zac Jackson. “Happy to be where I am, for sure. Lots of guys in that locker room I respect. . . . The only reason it crossed my mind is because people asked me, ‘Hey, are the Jets gonna call you?’”

When Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles just 70 seconds into Week 1, Jets fans expected them to call someone — anyone.

It has been almost a decade since Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher was severely injured in a skiing accident and hasn’t been seen or heard from in public since. Now, his brother and fellow former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has opened up a little about the effect the last 10 years have had on him and his family.
According to Daily Mail, Ralf Schumacher — the younger of the two brothers — discussed the incident with local media.
“I miss the Michael of the old days. Life is unfair from time to time,” Ralf said. “Michael was very lucky throughout his life.
