data-mm-id=”_8ltzptdtz”>The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Rams gave us one of the NFL's best games of the week, a 37-31 tense overtime thriller that ended in spectacular fashion. But was that ending tainted by a missed call on Tylan Wallace's 76-yard walk-off punt return touchdown? The Rams are likely to argue so. Here's the play:Tylan Wallace takes it all the way for a walk-off punt return TD! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/VWBqUd82VN— NFL (@NFL) December 10, 2023A great, thrilling way to end a game. But there are actually two questionable missed calls on this punt return. The first came at the 25-yard line, where Ravens cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis attempted to block Rams defensive back Shaun Jolly. As the play rolls there is a shove, but it appears to more be c…
data-mm-id=”_7a02a6av8″>Mike Vrabel did not find himself holding a gig as the NFL head coaching carousel went round and round this winter. Which could be see a surprise considering the success he's had with the Tennessee Titans and his ability to instill legitimate toughness and physicality. It seems like that type of power and presence would speak volumes and get a team to bite because an established track record feels so much safer than the unknown. On the other hand, Vrabel is very large because he played linebacker in the NFL. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds he's going to be the most physically imposing person in most rooms. In fact, pretty much anywhere except … an NFL team facility. Speaking on The Athletic Football Show, Dianna Russini relayed some information gleaned fro…
data-mm-id=”_3dxanf93r”>The San Francisco 49ers will begin their 2024 season on Monday Night Football against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets at home, but they will be without an important piece to their offense. Swiss Army knife Christian McCaffrey, who has been dealing with calf and Achilles injuries across the past week, won't suit up in the opener, per Mike Garofolo. CMC did initially feel confident about playing in Week 1 despite being listed as questionable, but the Niners have decided to keep him on the sidelines. Per Garofolo, CMC tested out his calf on Monday but it didn't feel completely right. Given this is the first game of the campaign, it's certainly smart to be cautious. Jordan Mason will be San Francisco's starting running back in place of McCaff…

Chelsea have reportedly agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace star and top Manchester United target Michael Olise, while the Blues consider the sale of a fellow forward.
Olise has caught the attention of near enough all the Big Clubs in the Premier League, with as one of his first signings at Old Trafford, and Pep Guardiola thought to be a big admirer.

Georgia and Czechia played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in Hamburg to leave their qualification to the knockout stages of Euro 2024 alive.
Patrik Schick s sixth European Championship goal, surpassing Milan Baros, cancelled out Georges Mikautadze’s penalty opener but despite their dominance the Czechs could not force the win they needed.
They now have to beat Turkey in their final Group F match to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stage, while minnows Georgia face an even more formidable task against Portugal.
An additional concern was a calf injury to Schick, whose six-goal haul from the last two Euros is more than Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane have scored, late in the second half.

Jordan Pickford
Up until Breel Embolo put one past him in the 75th minute, Pickford didn’t have much to do. He was almost caught out by a clever Xherdan Shaqiri corner in extra time, but thankfully the post came to his rescue.
The 30-year-old boasts a good record when it comes to saving penalties and the shootout was where he really came into his own.
After delaying Manuel Akanji for as long as human…
