Pittsburgh, which entered Sunday night’s game as the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture with its 8-5 record, does not have a chance to clinch a playoff berth in Week 15. (Buffalo at 9-4 would clinch its playoff spot with a win.) The Steelers, though, will be motivated to win their last home game of the season and extend their winning streak against the Bills to seven games....
The Steelers (11-1) finally felt the pains of defeat in losing 23-17 to Washington on Monday. Ben Roethlisberger had his fourth 300-yard passing game of the season but only had 21 yards of rushing from his teammates as Washington soared back from a 14-0 hole. The Steelers are attempting to minimize the loss of starting linebackers Bud Dupree and Devin Bush but were dealt another blow in learning that Bush’s replacement Robert Spillane will also miss this game with an injury....
The Steelers (1-0) finally got a taste of what they had been missing last season with the return of Roelthisberger under center, who missed nearly the entirety of 2019 with an elbow injury. Big Ben looked healthy as ever passing for three touchdowns and 229 yards. Pittsburgh may have found its next running back in Benny Snell after losing James Connor early in the second quarter to injury. Snell rushed for 119 yards in his 2020 debut....
The Volunteers (7-0) are in an enviable position at this point of the season, albeit at a potentially precarious point of their schedule. They will enjoy the night game at home vs. the Wildcats but must turn around the following week to take on No. 1 Georgia in Samford Stadium in Athens. Tennessee has the nation’s top-rated offense in both total yards (571.7 yards per game) and scoring (50.1 points per game), but has a two-week stretch against two of the nation’s stingiest defenses....
An article Sunday in the Global Times, a hawkish English-language tabloid, cited various Chinese experts on the matter, writing: “Biden will be more moderate and mature in handling foreign affairs,” Jin said, according to the state-run newspaper. Jin Canrong, associate dean of the School of International Studies at the Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times that Biden will usher in a ‘buffer period’ for China-US relations - relations may still worsen, but not as quickly....
Psych! More like “yay.” This is only, like, the most significantest day of the 2008 presidential primary season to date, with a total of forty-three nominating contests in 24 states following arcane, inscrutable rules to allocate 3,156 delegates.

The mobile game already had a divisive announcement, as many longtime fans were disappointed to see the franchise move into the mobile space. Mobile games have a contentious relationship with more traditional video game players, so seeing the beloved franchise go into that market got a big reaction. Now that many have been able to play through Diablo Immortal’s alpha experience, more positive reviews have started to surface. This was part of why the announcement of Diablo Immortal being delayed was so disheartening, and gave many fans pause about what it could mean for Diablo 4....

Well, anticipated for the Tide, anyway. LSU (3-4 SEC) hasn’t exactly looked the part of defending national champion, suffering its worst start to a season through seven games since 1999: The Tigers started 2-5 through under coach Gerry DiNardo, part of a season in which they finished 3-8. For context on exactly how long ago that was, Nick Saban took over as LSU’s coach the following year. No. 1 Alabama, meanwhile, is 8-0 and in the driver’s seat for the SEC West division title, conference championship and College Football Playoff berth....
This won’t be the Super Bowl celebration the Chiefs had hoped to receive. Because of the threat of COVID-19, only about 22 percent of Arrowhead Stadium’s capacity was allowed to be filled by fans. Which might not matter much to TV viewers, but the on-field experience will be unprecedented.

Both teams are looking for their first preseason win after taking losses to kick off their exhibition schedules. The Cowboys dropped a tough one to the Broncos, only putting up one score in a 17-7 loss. Stars like Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and CeeDee Lamb all sat out the first preseason contest and there has been no indication if they will suit up for Dallas’ Week 2 matchup with Los Angeles....
The “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” will feature an all-name matchup between the Bulldogs and Gators, but seemingly little else ahead of the 2022 matchup. Top-ranked Georgia has seemingly woken up from a two-game lull earlier in the season to outscore its opponents 97-10 in the last two weeks. Meanwhile, Florida is 1-2 against ranked opponents thus far this season, the lone victory a home upset vs. then-No. 7 Utah in the season opener....
Davis made his pro debut in 2013. Winning the IBF super-featherweight title in 2017, Davis lost the title that year after missing weight for a fight against Francisco Fonseca. In 2018, Davis won the WBA (Super) super-featherweight title, and then became WBA (Regular) lightweight champion against Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2019. Against Leo Santa Cruz in October 2020, Davis won via knockout to win the WBA (Super) super-featherweight title. Moving divisions again, Davis beat Mario Barrios to win the WBA (Regular) super-lightweight title....
So it is for Indiana, one of the sport’s blue-blood programs that somehow finds itself as one of the First Four teams in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers (20-13) just sneaked into the tournament with a couple of timely wins in the Big Ten Tournament, and will face off against a talented Wyoming team. The Cowboys (25-8) are one of four Mountain West teams that made the field in 2022....
Welcome to the Elite Eight. Chalk is heavily represented in the first two games of the round, with No. 3 Arkansas taking on No. 1 Baylor out of the South Region and No. 12 Oregon State vs. No. 2 Houston out of the Midwest. The Beavers may seem out of place among those Southwest foes, both in geography and seed, but don’t discount their path here: Their run to the Elite Eight ranks among the greatest of all time for a 12 seed and includes wins over 5-seed Tennessee, 4-seed Oklahoma State and 8-seed Loyola Chicago....
The Bedlam Series has been a reliable source of drama in recent years, with close games in each of the past two meetings and plenty of points. MORE: Watch Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State live with fuboTV (7-day free trial) Last season, unranked Oklahoma State scored a touchdown to cut No. 6 Oklahoma’s lead to 48-47, but a failed 2-point conversion and failed onside kick allowed the Sooners to avoid a second loss, which was crucial to eventually reaching the College Football Playoff semifinal....
