After missing five games because of a hamstring injury, the NFL’s leader in receiving yards per game is back.

It’s been one thing after another for the 3-6 Cowboys ahead of Monday’s game vs. the Texans.

This year’s Christmas Day festivities will come with a healthy dose of Beyonce. The NFL announced on Sunday that the music star will perform during halftime on Dec. 25 between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens.
How did NFL fans react?
Of course, the Bey-Hive loved the league’s pick.
Actual football fans sounded lukewarm, at best, on picking Beyonce as a halftime performer. 
The league continually does a good job of nabbing big-name talent but can’t stick the landing on finding the right tune for the real football’heads.

Who would have thought we’d see this happen? Who? Who?
The Florida Atlantic University Owls fired head coach Tom Herman earlier today after dropping to 2-8 this season and posting a 6-16 record in just under two years at the helm. Herman will receive $4 million in a buyout (who knew getting fired could be so lucrative?), and special teams coordinator Chad Lunsford will serve as interim head coach.
By itself, this isn’t really big news. But it has continued one of the wackiest trends in college football this season. 
Last month, the Rice Owls sent head coach Mike Bloomberg packing.

Here’s a rundown of how Cleveland has gotten off to an undefeated start.

The Steelers came away from their game with the Baltimore Ravens with a victory that, no matter how difficult or ugly or physically painful, had to be satisfying because it said important things about Mike Tomlin’s team.
Tomlin would never admit that one regular-season game was exceptional in any way other than it accomplished it’s purpose: Delivering a win.
“When my car leaves that parking lot, I’m on the move,” the coach said Monday. “I’ve been in it too long to bathe in it.

Alpine F1 hopes to build off their tremendous weekend in Brazil at this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix
The 2024 Formula 1 season could not have started worse for Alpine.
The team’s 2024 challenger — the A524 — came in overweight and the team lagged at the back of the pack during pre-season testing. Fears were confirmed in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, when Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon locked out the back row during qualifying, starting the race at the back of the field.

The Dan Le Batard Show reacts to Josh Allen and

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson entered Sunday about even in the MVP race. By the evening, Allen had started to pull away. Jackson struggled mightily in a crucial divisional loss against the Steelers. Allen, on the other hand, handed the Chiefs their first loss in 11 months, thoroughly outplaying Patrick Mahomes.
Knowing this, former television host Bomani Jones tried to get in front of the conversation by pushing the idea that Allen is only in the MVP conversation because of favoritism from the media.

Netflix is slowly working its way into the sports streaming game. Its biggest step came last Friday with the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight. It was not without its hiccups, and Howard Stern issued the company a strong warning before they take their next step.
Despite the incredibly high number of viewers the fight drew (65 million watched it at its peak), Netflix had tons of issues with the stream itself. Buffering issues ran rampant for viewers, causing many to watch the fight in a less-than-seamless fashion.

The Broncos are no fluke with Bo Nix and Sean Payton.
Back in October, I had a six-week check in with the rookie QBs that played at the time. Among the QBs who qualified for a grade, Nix had the worst one of the bunch. Coming in at a D+, there were many concerns I had about his early play, some of which are outlined here:

It’s easy to say the game has to be slowed down for Nix, but it really does. He’s playing way too sped up and sacrificing his footwork, throwing off his mechanics.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is making a habit of blaming head coach Zac Taylor after tough losses. The former rookie of the year made it clear that he doesn’t believe he isn’t the one who deserves blame after the Bengals‘ loss against the Chargers in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Chase didn’t literally throw Taylor under a bus after the loss but certainly did figuratively.
“How do I do it? I don’t know, ask Zac. Ask the coaches. Don’t ask me, it’s not my job,” Chase said after Cincinnati’s 34-27.

The 6’5 super sub is a driving force behind the Cavs historic start to the 2024-2025 season
Whenever a team, in any sport, has an extended stretch of consecutively winning games the focus is usually on the star players and the head coach of said team.
This has also been the case for the now 15-0 Cleveland Cavaliers, and for good reason.
New head coach Kenny Atkinson is off to, by far, the best start in the history of the franchise.
