Defense has been the calling card for San Francisco, which spells doom for Carolina. After limiting the Rams to just nine points on Monday, the Niners’ stingy defense is allowing league lows in points allowed per game (11.5), yards per carry (2.87), yards per play (3.81) and is tied with the Bills for first in fewest yards allowed per game (234.5). On the opposite end of the spectrum are the Panthers, who rank last in yards per game (262....

San Francisco (10-1) is on a roll and the only ones capable of slowing them down might be quarterback Lamar Jackson and Baltimore (9-2). The 49ers looked menacing after their 37-8 win over the Packers in Week 12. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 253 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while San Francisco’s defense sacked Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers five times and held him to just 104 passing yards and one touchdown on the night....

Sam Pittman’s Razorbacks are looking to start the season 4-0 with two ranked wins (the first was vs. No. 23 Cincinnati in their season opener). Beating a team that once ranked as high as No. 6 in the AP Top 25 poll will engender even more confidence in the third-year coach in Fayetteville. That said, history is against Pittman and Co., which last season broke a nine-game losing streak to the Aggies....

LIVE: Follow Bengals vs. Chiefs updates from AFC championship game Sunday’s clash between Kansas City and Cincinnati will be a rematch of last year’s conference championship. Joe Burrow and the Bengals won that game to punch their ticket to the 2022 Super Bowl. Now, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will get their chance at revenge. The Bengals are coming off of a stunning blowout win in Buffalo last weekend. They dominated the Bills from start to finish, with Joe Burrow looking at the top of his game despite playing behind a ramshackle offensive line....

The Patriots are coming off of a tough loss against the Colts, but last time they faced the Bills it was in a gale that ended in a 14-10 win. Mac Jones threw just three passes in that game, and it seems unlikely that will cut it on Sunday. In better conditions Josh Allen should be able to do more for the Bills, who are coming off of a 31-14 win against Sean McDermott’s old team the Panthers....

The first of two AFC divisional round matchups will pit Buffalo’s Josh Allen against Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson. Jackson was the 2019 NFL MVP, while Allen will likely finish in the top-three of the 2020 voting for that award. The 2-seed Bills advanced to this stage by beating the Colts a week ago, while the 5-seed Ravens traveled to Tennessee and knocked off the Titans. Allen and Jackson are both multi-faceted threats at the QB position, able of beating teams with their arms and legs....

What Are Orthodontic Dental Records? Your dentist or orthodontist has your orthodontic records on file, but what exactly are they? Orthodontic records are used by dentists and orthodontists as a sort of study aid to provide patients with the best, individualized orthodontic treatment plan possible. Why Orthodontic Dental Records Are Important When a person becomes a candidate for orthodontic treatment, their dentist considers their records when assembling a treatment plan. The dentist or orthodontist will put together all of the patient’s potential treatment options....

The Penguins captain has lived up to the potential that he carried when he was taken with the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NHL Draft. During his 17-year career in the NHL, he helped create a Penguins dynasty that went to four Stanley Cup Finals, winning three Cups in the process. Take away his playoff success and he would still be considered one of the best players of all time....

Angle-based special right triangles have three angles that can be represented as integers. [1] X Research source There are only two angle-based special right triangles: the 30-60-90 triangle, and the 45-45-90 triangle. [2] X Research source Side-based special right triangles have three sides that can be represented as integers. [3] X Research source Each group of three integers is called a Pythagorean triple. There are an infinite number of Pythagorean triples—which means there are also an infinite number of side-based special right triangles....

Antibodies are specialized Y-shaped proteins made by the immune system. They help fight disease by detecting viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms) and working to destroy them. Harmful infectious organisms are identified as invaders due to their antigens, which are distinct molecules on their surface. Each antibody produced by your immune system binds to a specific antigen—with a fitted molecular shape—and then either destroys the pathogen or tags it so other immune cells will recognize it....

Iron is one of the most versatile ores in Minecraft that players can use to craft a plethora of items that have great use, especially when starting a new world. Iron ore needs to be mined using a stone pickaxe and smelted in the furnace to get an iron ingot. Players can also acquire iron ingots from chests within dungeons, villages, or shipwrecks. Iron plays a very crucial role in Minecraft, and players need this ore to progress in-game....

Why Does Itching Occur? Itching and pain are closely-related sensations because the same nerves transmit both types of sensory signals to the brain. When the area of skin is scratched, that same area may become even itchier, leading to more scratching. This is called the itch-scratch cycle. In general, itching can be related to a skin condition or to an underlying systemic (throughout the body) disease. A systemic disease doesn’t usually cause itching in just one area of the skin....

While very little is currently known about Assassin’s Creed Invictus, there is still a lot that can be inferred about the title from its very brief reveal. As well as this, it is worth looking into the origins of its codename, Invictus, and how this could possibly relate to some core details of the game. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Video Explains How To Access ‘The Last Chapter’ DLC The Core Details of Asssassin’s Creed Invictus The announcement of Assassin’s Creed Invictus actually came after the spate of franchise announcements at September’s Ubisoft Forward Event, which officially confirmed the likes of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the long-awaited Japanese-set Assassin’s Creed Red....

Announced during the recent Ubisoft Forward Showcase a few months ago, Assassin’s Creed Invictus is set to be the first standalone multiplayer game in the franchise. Aside from the game being playable through the live-service Assassin’s Creed Infinity platform, not much is known about Invictus, though some fans are hoping that it borrows multiplayer elements from previous entries in the franchise, in particular, Assassin’s Creed Unity’s co-op game mode....

The 49ers (4-6) probably don’t stand much of a chance of making the playoffs this season, and have lost three games in a row by at least 10 points, but they already beat the Rams in Week 6. While San Francisco is fresh off a bye week, it has only won one game in the past seven seasons immediately after a bye. Rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been one of the few offensive bright spots as his five touchdowns are the fifth most among rookies....

The two teams both come into the game at 2-2, but they have vastly different expectations for the rest of the season. For the Browns, two wins in their first four games represents a fairly decent start to the season. They have a tough road to making playoffs, especially given the strength of their division and being without Deshaun Watson until December. However, that 2-2 start came against arguably four of the worst teams in the NFL right now: The Panthers, Jets, Steelers and Falcons....

A 2006 English National Championships gold medalist, Chisora made his pro debut in 2007 at the age of 23. A British and Commonwealth heavyweight Champion, Chisora lost the titles in 2011 against Tyson Fury.

Just because Formula 1 racers were on a summer break doesn’t mean there wasn’t noteworthy grid news. In fact, there was plenty. On Aug. 24, it was revealed that Daniel Ricciardo is entering the final stretch of races with McLaren. Both the driver and the team have mutually decided to part ways, this after rumors surrounding Oscar Piastri and his ascension to F1 in the coming year. Also making a move in 2023 is former world champion Fernando Alonso, who is leaving Alpine and El Plan behind to join Aston Martin, replacing another former world champion in Sebastian Vettel, who last month announced his intention to retire following the season....

Scuderia Ferrari is back to its winning ways after an early-season “slump” — if you can call it that — that sparked questions over reliability issues and staying power throughout the season. Back-to-back wins by Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc have put Ferrari back into gear, and right back into the race. Heading into France, there’s still a gap to be made up. Max Verstappen holds the driver’s championship lead over Leclerc (208 to 170), while Ferrari also has ground to make up to Red Bull in the constructor’s standings (359 to 303)....
