‘The Best in Sports’ is a daily PSO original series showcasing the best highlights, facts, and stories going on in the land of the NFL, NBA, & MLB every day. Get a recap on EVERYTHING that happened yesterday here.
Down 20-0 at halftime, teams were 0-99 in similar situations since 2014 (including playoffs), but Captain Kirk led Minnesota to an extremely rare comeback to end the streak before it reached 100 in the NFL’s 100th season.
Entering today, teams had lost 97 straight regular season games when trailing by 20+ points at halftime.
With the Celtics’ 10-game win streak on the line, Buddy Hield stepped up when it mattered most with two clutch buckets as the game came down to the wire.
Lamar broke out another electric run that wasn’t even the story of the day. In a battle between former Heisman candidates, Jackson led Baltimore’s demolishing of Houston in what was supposed to be the Game of the Day.
In a primetime defensive battle, the Rams came away with the victory to keep their season alive and well, while Chicago’s playoff hopes essentially went down the drain.
For a big-picture look at today’s games, including next week’s opponent, the Falcons, who just beat the Panthers and are starting to look like a much different defense https://t.co/qCu699v5pE
#PlayerOfTheDay Maxx Crosby was relentless at getting to Cincinnati’s QB, finishing with FOUR sacks on the day, the 2nd rookie to do so since 1988. His 6.5 sacks are the most in Raiders franchise history through the 1st 10 games & currently more than Khalil Mack’s 5.5 https://t.co/ALLkzdE1gm
