data-mm-id=”_9pg5g7lhb”>The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns, 26-22, on Monday Night Football to end Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season. The Browns had the ball at midfield at the 2-minute warning, but couldn't get any closer to the end zone. Deshaun Watson threw a ball out of bounds, was sacked and threw another ball out of bounds and the game was over. The final pass on the sideline to Donovan Peoples-Jones featured a very blatant hold from Steelers defensive back Joey Porter Jr., but it went uncalled. pic.twitter.com/akU456gXp4 https://t.co/oXdllS0QhQ— alex (@highlightheaven) September 19, 2023Was the ball catchable? Should it have been defensive holding anyway? Would it matter because Watson struggled the entire game against the Steelers' defense? We may never k…

data-mm-id=”_7bjnkakln”>The rowdy faithful of the Buffalo Bills gathered in the cold and snow for the second week in a row on Sunday in preparation for the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. The two sides will duel for a spot in the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens. And Bills mafia was ready with the gasoline. Following the path set by a few Bills fans earlier this season, the fans in Orchard Park were not content to simply jump through folding tables (as has become their reputation). No, there needs to be fire involved now. So, on Sunday, a fan wearing a Detroit Lions shirt got suplexed off the back of a pickup truck onto a flaming surface. And then he appeared to forget the key rule of all fire– stop, drop, and roll. Talk about lighting a fire under your ass pic.twitter.…
data-mm-id=”_dyyabortg”>Sunday's AFC Championship Game was entertaining from the very beginning, and even before that. Prior to kickoff the Kansas City Chiefs got into a scuffle with a Baltimore Raven and Travis Kelce beefed with Justin Tucker over a tee. Then the Chiefs opted to defer on the opening kickoff, forced the Ravens to punt, and then walked down the field to score the first touchdown of the game. And of course it was all thanks to the Patrick Mahomes-Kelce connection. The duo converted a fourth-and-two near midfield before scoring on a long touchdown pass a few plays later. It was a tremendous catch and an even better throw. The excitement was palpable in the Taylor Swift booth, where the famous pop star was captured by CBS cameras so caught up in the emotion of the mom…

Mason Greenwood could be reintegrated back into the Man Utd squad this summer if they fail to find a buyer for the striker, according to reports.
The 22-year-old, who is on loan at La Liga side Getafe, faced charges including attempted rape and assault but the Crown Prosecution Service announced in February last year that the case had been discontinued.
Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said in February that a fresh decision would be made on Greenwood this summer now that INEOS has been delegated control of football operations at Old Trafford.
Reports last year that Man Utd were planning to retain him following an internal investigation were met by public outcry and Ratcliffe acknowledged that a decision will have to be made when Greenwood returns about what ha…
Man Utd have offered Mason Mount and Antony to Barcelona in an attempt to offload the duo over the summer, according to reports.
There could be some big changes ahead at Old Trafford over the summer after Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed a deal to buy 27.7 per cent of the Premier League club from the Glazers earlier this year.
Ratcliffe and INEOS have taken control of the football operation at Man Utd as part of the agreement and they have already lined up their new CEO in Omar Berrada, while Jason Wilcox has joined as technical director from Southampton.
Man Utd are still having difficulties agreeing to make Dan Ashworth who is currently on gardening leave their new sporting director but they are confident they will eventually get their man.
