While Brock Purdy played well in place of Garoppolo against the Dolphins, it’s tough to rely on a seventh-round rookie to make a deep playoff run. Simply winning the NFC West won’t satisfy the 49ers, who added Christian McCaffrey in hopes of finally winning another Lombardi Trophy. MORE: Updated NFL playoff picture for Week 14 The first test for Purdy comes against none other than Tom Brady. Brady and the Buccaneers continue to struggle on the offensive side of the ball, but the legendary quarterback showed in Week 13 why he can’t be counted out, leading Tampa Bay to two touchdown drives in the final minutes to stun the Saints....

Ohio State no longer is the undisputed king of the conference — not after Michigan upended the Buckeyes at Michigan Stadium in 2021, the Wolverines’ first victory in the series since 2011. But Ohio State claims one of the nation’s top offenses and, naturally, is looking for revenge over the maize and blue. Michigan, of course, is looking to build on a season that saw it win the Big Ten championship and make the College Football Playoff for the first time under coach Jim Harbaugh....

After losing in blowout fashion in Game 1, the Celtics showcased why they’ve been anointed championship contenders by dominating the Milwaukee Bucks in a resounding Game 2 victory. The second-round series is now all tied up at 1-1. Boston entered Game 2 with a totally different energy. Back was the team that swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first round — and that team exerted its will right from the jump against Milwaukee, as the Celtics never trailed the entire game....

The Canadians didn’t get off to the start they wanted to and were trailing by two early on against the Czechs, but a historic performance by Owen Power and multi-point outings from Cole Perfetti and Mason McTavish helped propel Canada to a 6-3 victory. Power became the first defenseman in World Juniors history to score a hat trick for Team Canada in the tournament. “A lot of guys had nerves… they obviously got up two on us there....

The Cowboys (3-9) have quickly trended towards misery since losing Dak Prescott and have lost six of their last seven games. Andy Dalton will get to start against his former team that he started for for nine seasons and owns numerous franchise passing records for. Dalton himself has had a chaotic season between missing time for injury and COVID-19. He did, however have a season-high 285 passing yards in Dallas’ loss to Baltimore on Tuesday....

The Cowboys lost 20-17 to the Los Angeles Rams last week, and in the process, lost starting tight end Blake Jarwin for the season and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch for several weeks with a broken collarbone. Dak Prescott, playing to show why he deserves the next mega contract, averaged just 6.8 yards per pass and threw only one touchdown. Prescott should have an easier day against a Falcons secondary that was shredded by Seattle’s Russell Wilson to the tune of 31-35 passing for 322 yards....

After taking the Cavaliers to their fourth straight NBA Finals, LeBron James has turned down his player option worth $35.6 million next season to become an unrestricted free agent. There’s still a possibility LeBron will be on the Cavaliers next season — Cleveland can offer him a new contract worth more than $200 million over five years — but the four-time MVP will have the choice of joining a franchise in better position to compete for a title in free agency....

People infected with BA.5 may experience these typical COVID-19 symptoms, sore throat, and fatigue, but they are less likely to report fevers or loss of taste and smell, said Andy Pekosz, PhD, a virologist and professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health....

Profanity has always been a point of debate in the platform’s guidelines, and in the recent past, the platform used to make it a point to punish creators for using more offensive slang, such as “f*ck,” in the opening part of a video. However, the update seems to have made some crucial changes, including expanding the pool of demonization-worthy words to almost every swear word. Content creators such as RTGame have asked fellow YouTubers not to bother asking the platform for help as it opens up their account to further scrutiny, which has the potential to have even more videos flagged for profanity and subsequently age-restricted....

The former presidential candidate discussed the frenzy surrounding the image of him and his now-famous mittens at Joe Biden’s inauguration telling Seth Meyers he was “just sitting there, trying to keep warm, trying to pay attention to what was going on.” By now, the meme has been reimagined thousands of times, with the grumpy Democrat placed in endless scenarios, providing a hilarious reprieve from more serious news. Sanders appeared on Thursday’s Late Night With Seth Meyers and addressed all the viral attention that has been placed on him this week....

Let’s start by defining metastatic breast cancer. The most important distinction is whether the breast-cancer cells are confined to the breast and lymph nodes (this is sometimes referred to as early-stage breast cancer) or if they are in distant sites—such as the bone, liver, lungs. Patients who have breast-cancer cells in distant sites are said to have advanced breast cancer, whether or not the cancer was detected at the distant sites at first diagnosis or later....

The new feature from director Darren Aronofsky has garnered a lot of buzz on the film festival circuit, and many critics have said Fraser could be in line for an Academy Award nomination.

They have the unenviable task of trying to clinch a playoff berth against a Rams team that is still playing for a divisional title. The Rams and Cardinals are still duking it out for the NFC West, and the Rams can clinch with either a win or a Cardinals loss to the Seahawks. Matthew Stafford is coming off of a rough week against the Ravens, a two-interception performance that the Rams ultimately eked out a 20-19 victory in thanks to some late-game heroics....
