4+ min ago (367+ words) The Cleveland Browns fell to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, 26-8, but it wasn't without controversy. "I see why he got punched in the nuts," Browns defensive tackle Shelby Harris said after the game. "He says some things that you should not say to another man. Ever. But I don't respect it because you say it and then go run behind your offensive line. That's some real soft s--t, and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched your nuts and I'm surprised nobody's punched him in the jaw yet." Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig was suspended for one game after hitting Jennings in the groin in a Monday night matchup against the 49ers. Jennings' trash talk on the field is causing some drama, but he did play well against Cleveland. He had four receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown…...

4+ min ago (312+ words) All week, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was dealing with a wrist issue, which was reported to have several fractures, but he got the all clear to play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. But maybe he shouldn't have. Rodgers endured a tough first half against the Bills, going six of 13 for just 54 yards as the offense struggled to get anything going. But starting the second half, the Steelers had a chance to get some positive momentum going, and on the first play, Rodgers ran a play action, but no receivers were open, and Joey Bosa strip-sacked Rodgers, as Christian Benford got a scoop and score while Rodgers lay on the field in pain. And as it turns out, that might have been his last involvement in the game, as backup quarterback Mason Rudolph came straight into the lineup. More:…...

As the Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos begin their Week 13 "Sunday Night Football" game to close out November football, one player is conspicuously missing. What happened to Jayden Daniels? And when could the Commanders' quarterback return? Daniels sustained a dislocated left elbow injury in the final moments of Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the gruesome appearance of the injury when it happened, the Commanders quarterback managed to avoid any fracturing or ligament damage in his elbow. That meant Daniels may have a chance to return in 2025 rather than ending his season early. COMMANDERS-BRONCOS: What channel is Sunday Night Football?

22+ min ago (404+ words) For the fourth time in the last five years, the Wisconsin Badgers failed to secure Paul Bunyan's Axe, falling to Minnesota 17-7 in a snow-covered Huntington Bank Stadium. It's also the second-straight season that the Badgers' rivalry trophy case remains empty. It was a solid defensive effort by the Badgers, as they held the Gophers to 218 yards of total offense. Despite having 50 more yards of offense, three turnovers doomed Wisconsin, including two back-breaking interceptions from Hunter Simmons in the third quarter. The second set up a short field for Minnesota, and they capitalized with a touchdown pass to make it a two-score game in the second half. This game was such a deflating loss for Wisconsin. The Badgers built excitement with two ranked wins this month, and a win over Minnesota would generate some positive momentum heading into the offseason. Instead,…...

27+ min ago (288+ words) Alabama star receiver Ryan Williams didn't make his way onto the stat sheet in the win over Auburn, but he still played a fair amount. Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said "there's really nothing to read into there at all" regarding Williams' usage in the Iron Bowl. Williams was fourth among Alabama receivers with 38 snaps, per Pro Football Focus. Ahead of him were Germie Bernard (70), Isaiah Horton (53) and Lotzeir Brooks (39). Williams was targeted zero times whereas Bernard received eight targets, Horton received five, Brooks and running back Jam Miller received three and several other players had one or two a piece.

31+ min ago (227+ words) For the second week in a row, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was on the scene of a heated interaction. Last week, Jennings smacked Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig after the safety punched Jennings below the belt. And on Sunday, things got spicy again, as Jennings exchanged words with the Cleveland Browns' defense during Cleveland's 26-8 loss to San Francisco. The exchange happened as Browns defensive lineman Maliek Collins went down and was later carted off with a leg injury. Cleveland defensive tackle Shelby Harris spoke on the interaction postgame, declining to get into details but implying that Jennings got personal, and took things too far. Moehrig was later suspended one game for the low blow on Jennings. Jennings, who hit Moehrig twice in that altercation, was later fined $12,172 by the league for unnecessary roughness (striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing). Harris…...

32+ min ago (218+ words) Alabama football WR Ryan Williams played 38 snaps for the Crimson Tide against archrival Auburn on Saturday, but in a 27-20 Crimson Tide victory, the sophomore wasn't targeted even once in the passing game. For a player who has recorded some big performances in some big games over two years at Alabama, that's surprising, despite his lack of consistency as a sophomore this season. But UA coach Kalen DeBoer said Williams' lack of production in the Iron Bowl was incidental to his role. MAKING THIER CASE: Why Alabama football feels it deserves College Football Playoff spot GOODBREAD: Alabama football can't trust committee, Georgia is a must-win "We've got to be intentional because he's a playmaker for us.
