Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum have been carrying the load for the 3-2 Blazers who were firing on all cylinders against the Warriors on Friday. As for the Warriors, they have to get their act together or risk getting mired at the bottom of the standings. At 2-3, Golden State certainly has more than enough time to catch up to the rest of the league but they have some new pieces who need to get acclimated to their system....

New Orleans (4-2) is just a half game back of Tampa Bay in the race for the NFC South following a 27-24 win over Carolina in Week 7. Drew Brees led the 52nd game-winning drive of his career in that game, ranking second in NFL history only to Peyton Manning’s 54. After struggling out of the gates and hearing criticism of his aging arm, Brees has rebounded nicely with the Saints averaging over 265 yards passing a game without the help All-Pro receiver Michael Thomas since Week 1....

In the second game of the 2020 “Monday Night Football” debut, it’s a matchup of hard-hitting defenses with the Titans traveling to Denver, Colo., to take on the Broncos in, what should be, a sneaky-good matchup. In a pretty small sample size, Lock had a promising showing as a rookie, helping the Broncos to a 4-1 record while he was under center, throwing seven touchdowns to three interceptions in those starts....

Medicare Coverage for Surgeries Medicare classifies surgical procedures as inpatient or outpatient. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releases a list of inpatient only (IPO) procedures every year. These procedures are more surgically complex, at higher risk for complications, and require close post-operative monitoring. They are covered by Medicare Part A. Any procedure that is not on the IPO list is an outpatient procedure and is billed to Medicare Part B....

Over the last several months, rumors have begun doing the rounds that Konami may be planning a revival of many of its long-dormant franchises. This includes the supernatural terrors of the Silent Hill series, which hasn’t seen a mainline entry since 2012, almost ten years ago. Just the possibility alone is enough to excite fans, but without much information to go on, this potential return to the Silent Hill franchise could take any form....

On Wednesday, December 22, Ratray was arrested in Oklahoma after turning himself in to police, on one count of domestic assault and battery by strangulation and another count of domestic assault and battery, according to reports. Ratray has denied all allegations and has currently been released on a $25,000 bond, reports Fox News. In a statement to NBC affiliate KFOR-TV, Ratray’s attorney said: “Mr. Ratray denies he ever laid a hand on her [his girlfriend] or did anything in regards to anything like that....

His family, including two young children, were also present in the car during the horrific crash. According to police, all of them survived the plunge, which could easily have been fatal. Days after the crash, authorities arrested Dharmesh Patel, who was behind the wheel. They believe that Patel intentionally drove the car with his wife and two children inside it off the California cliff. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) announced that the Pasadena physician will be charged with attempted murder and child abuse after he is discharged from the hospital....

The controversial TikTok showcased Maiolo in front of a news channel reporting on David Espino being hospitalized with the virus. His mother regretted not having the 17-year-old vaccinated sooner as the severe illness could have been prevented. Jessica Maiolo did not show any sympathy for the sick patient and went on to make “fatphobic” and “anti- vax” statements online: “Ma’am, your kid does not need a COVID shot. Your kid needs a f***ing treadmill....

Contagious How to say it: Contagious (con-TAY-juss) What it means: A disease that can spread between people. Where it comes from: Latin, contāgiō, “contact” Where you might see or hear it: If you have been exposed to someone with an infectious disease like COVID-19, your provider will want you to get tested. If you test positive, you could spread the infection to others—that is, you’re contagious. When you might want to use it: If you test positive for COVID, you will need to tell your loved ones and any other close contacts (like the people you work with)....

The Seattle Seahawks, meanwhile, are just trying to find their footing again. They lost to the Washington Football Team on “Monday Night Football,” which included a stretch of five straight 3 and outs at one point. The offense has looked completely lost even with Russell Wilson’s return from injury, and at 3-8 it’s hard to imagine the Seahawks returning to anything resembling contention at this point in the season. However, if they’re going to make headway, now is the time in a divisional matchup....

MORE: Watch Bears vs. Saints live with fuboTV (7-day free trial) The Saints are led by Drew Brees, who according to reports could be in his final season in the NFL. He missed time in the middle of the year with 11 fractured ribs and a collapsed lung, but he won’t be missing this playoff game. New Orleans will be hoping it can get Alvin Kamara (COVID) and Michael Thomas (injury) back for Sunday’s game....

The Bengals had some trouble with their division rivals in 2021. While they marched all the way to the Super Bowl, Joe Burrow and the Bengals lost both matchups to the Browns and were outscored 62-32 in the process. Scary stuff, really. The masks are coming off for both teams: The Browns are sitting at 2-5 and waiting for the return of Deshaun Watson, which won’t be for another three weeks, and likely won’t save their season....

The Bills lost a heartbreaker to the Steelers in Week 1 after Ben Roethlisberger orchestrated a 17-point fourth-quarter comeback. But Buffalo turned it up offensively and defensively in Week 2, playing a much more well-rounded game and shutting out Miami 35-0. The Bills’ defense registered six sacks and an interception while on offense Zack Moss and Devin Singeltary combined for three rushing touchdowns. Washington has played in two close games — a 20-16 loss in Week 1 to the Chargers and a wild, headline-grabbing win over the Giants 30-29 in Week 2 on Thursday night....

Jalen Hurts has emerged as a legitimate quarterback for the Eagles, and a player who was considered a trade commodity early in the year has quelled those talks. Last week against the Giants he threw for 199 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while only carrying twice for seven yards. However, he brings an intriguing angle to the Eagles offense that makes it very difficult to scheme against, which has helped the Eagles offense put up 27-plus points in five of its last six games (though Gardner Minshew was quarterback for their win against the Jets)....

Both teams failed to make it past their respective opponents to make the final. Sweden lost 1-0 in extra time against the Netherlands. After an uneventful 90 minutes, the Swedes conceded a goal to the Dutch in the 99th minute, a goal that would send the Netherlands on to their first ever World Cup final. England had the United States to face. Losing 2-1, the Lionnesses would have a goal called offside and miss a penalty to tie the Americans....

The two teams finished the season under different circumstances with No. 6 Oklahoma (8-2) winning seven in a row and the Big 12 Championship while No. 7 Florida (8-3) lost its last two games, including a near-comeback victory over Alabama in the SEC championship. Florida’s pass defense has struggled all season and is in for another challenge against Oklahoma’s Spencer Rattler. The Gators’ pass defense ranks No. 100 in the nation allowing 258....
