NFL – National Football League – Week 14 Yesterday Detroit Lions 34, Minnesota Vikings 23 Bears, Packers, and Colts are off this week Lions 34, Vikings 23 – Goff helps surging Lions beat division-leading Vikings 34-23 Jared Goff threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, leading the surging Detroit Lions to a 34-23 win over the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings needed a win or tie to clinch the division title. Kirk Cousins threw for 425 yards, including a franchise-record 223 to Justin Jefferson on 11 catches. But Dalvin Cook ran for just 23 yards on 15 carries, and Minnesota couldn't stop Goff. Detroit has won five of six, its best stretch since its last postseason appearance in 2016. The Lions invested a lot to give Goff deep-play threats this season, signing DJ Chark in free agency and trading up to draft Jameson Williams 12th overall. The moves finally paid off against Minnesota. Other NFL Scores L.A. Rams 17, Las Vegas 16 Baltimore 16, Pittsburgh 14 Buffalo 20, N.Y.

I want to talk,” Griner said. That’s according to Roger Carstens, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, who helped secure the basketball star's release and bring her back to the U.S. last week. Carstens told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that Griner walked throughout the plane, introducing herself to every member of the flight crew, shaking their hands, and “making a personal connection with them.” NCAAFB – College Football – Week 15 Saturday Army 20, Navy 17 – 2OT                 1ST Overtime game in the 123 year history of the Army/Navy Game NCAAFB – Navy’s Ken Niumatalolo out after 15 seasons as coach Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo is out after 15 seasons at the helm. The academy said Sunday that Niumatalolo would not return. The announcement came a day after the Midshipmen lost to Army in overtime and finished 4-8 for the second straight year. Niumatalolo is the winningest coach in school history at 109-83, but after going 11-2 in 2019, Navy hasn't finished above .500 since. Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry was named interim coach. Athletic director Chet Gladchuk is expected to speak to reporters Monday. NCAAFB – Mississippi State coach Mike Leach hospitalized in Jackson Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach was hospitalized after “a personal health issue” that happened at his home in Starkville. The 61-year-old Leach was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, which is about 125 miles away from Mississippi State. The university said in a statement it would have no further comment on Leach's condition. Defensive coordinator Zach Arnett has been placed in charge of the team as it prepares for an appearance in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tampa, Florida. Leach is in his third season at Mississippi State, with a 19-17 record.

France held out for a 2-1 win that sent the defending champions back to the semifinals and England home. Penalties have cost the Three Lions time and again at major tournaments. They have lost shootouts on seven occasions in World Cups and European Championships since 1990. It didn't come down to that against France. But Kane still faced a test of nerve from the spot when standing over the ball in the 84th minute. FIFA – Mbappé to face good friend Hakimi in World Cup semifinal Kylian Mbappé is going to meet his good friend Achraf Hakimi again at this World Cup. The France star went to visit his Paris Saint-Germain teammate at the Morocco team hotel in downtown Doha last week. Mbappé will be marked by Hakimi in a World Cup semifinal on Wednesday. His path to Morocco's goal down the French left wing blocked by a player he has called the best right-back in the world. Their friendship in Paris had bonded over music, video games and choreographed goal celebrations. Only one friend can advance to a World Cup final against Argentina or Croatia. FIFA – Ronaldo says his dream of winning World Cup has ‘ended’ Cristiano Ronaldo has said in a cryptic social media post that his dream of winning the World Cup with Portugal has ended. But he stopped short of announcing his retirement from international duty. The 37-year-old Ronaldo left the field in tears after Portugal lost 1-0 to Morocco in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Ronaldo said Sunday on Instagram in his first comments after the elimination that it was “time to take stock.” But he didn’t explicitly say if he wants to carry on being available for Portugal. Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in men's international soccer with 118 goals. He said putting Portugal “on the highest level in the world” was his biggest dream. FIFA – After Neymar, Croatia aims to end Messi’s World Cup dream Croatia has already ended Neymar's World Cup dream by beating Brazil in the quarterfinals. Now it hopes to do the same to Lionel Messi in the semifinals on Tuesday. The 2018 runner-up Croatia is the next obstacle for Argentina to overcome as Messi bids to win the one major trophy that has eluded him. Croatia was beaten by France in the final in Russia and is on its own mission to go one step further this time.Detroit Lions’ Jameson Williams reacts after catching a touchdown pass during the first half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, in Detroit.

Tonight Miami Heat at Indiana Pacers, 7:00 p.m. NCAAWBKB – Women's College Basketball Yesterday Georgia Tech 71, Central Michigan 45 (3) Ohio State 74, Michigan State 68 (3) Ohio State 74, Michigan State 68 – Thierry, No. 3 Ohio State hold off Michigan State 74-68 Taylor Thierry scored a career-high 21 points and Taylor Mikesell added 16 as No. 3 Ohio State won its 10th game in a row Sunday defeating Michigan State 74-68. The Buckeyes (10-0) led by as many as 18 points in the first half before the Spartans cut it down to one with 1:44 left in the fourth quarter. Taylor Mikesell made four free throws in the final minute and Madison Greene added another as Michigan State missed four of its last six shot attempts. “We showed really good competitive character,” Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said. “We kept fighting and scratching and clawing and just doing whatever we had to try to find a way to win.” WNBA – ‘I want to talk’: Griner opened up during her long trip home WNBA star Brittney Griner didn't want quiet time as soon as she boarded a U.S. government plane that would bring her home. “I've been in prison for 10 months, listening to the Russians. I want to talk,” Griner said. That’s according to Roger Carstens, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, who helped secure the basketball star's release and bring her back to the U.S. last week. Carstens told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that Griner walked throughout the plane, introducing herself to every member of the flight crew, shaking their hands, and “making a personal connection with them.” NCAAFB – College Football – Week 15 Saturday Army 20, Navy 17 – 2OT                 1ST Overtime game in the 123 year history of the Army/Navy Game NCAAFB – Navy’s Ken Niumatalolo out after 15 seasons as coach Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo is out after 15 seasons at the helm. The academy said Sunday that Niumatalolo would not return. The announcement came a day after the Midshipmen lost to Army in overtime and finished 4-8 for the second straight year. Niumatalolo is the winningest coach in school history at 109-83, but after going 11-2 in 2019, Navy hasn't finished above .500 since. Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry was named interim coach. Athletic director Chet Gladchuk is expected to speak to reporters Monday. NCAAFB – Mississippi State coach Mike Leach hospitalized in Jackson Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach was hospitalized after “a personal health issue” that happened at his home in Starkville. The 61-year-old Leach was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, which is about 125 miles away from Mississippi State. The university said in a statement it would have no further comment on Leach's condition. Defensive coordinator Zach Arnett has been placed in charge of the team as it prepares for an appearance in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tampa, Florida. Leach is in his third season at Mississippi State, with a 19-17 record.

France held out for a 2-1 win that sent the defending champions back to the semifinals and England home. Penalties have cost the Three Lions time and again at major tournaments. They have lost shootouts on seven occasions in World Cups and European Championships since 1990. It didn't come down to that against France. But Kane still faced a test of nerve from the spot when standing over the ball in the 84th minute. FIFA – Mbappé to face good friend Hakimi in World Cup semifinal Kylian Mbappé is going to meet his good friend Achraf Hakimi again at this World Cup. The France star went to visit his Paris Saint-Germain teammate at the Morocco team hotel in downtown Doha last week. Mbappé will be marked by Hakimi in a World Cup semifinal on Wednesday. His path to Morocco's goal down the French left wing blocked by a player he has called the best right-back in the world. Their friendship in Paris had bonded over music, video games and choreographed goal celebrations. Only one friend can advance to a World Cup final against Argentina or Croatia. FIFA – Ronaldo says his dream of winning World Cup has ‘ended’ Cristiano Ronaldo has said in a cryptic social media post that his dream of winning the World Cup with Portugal has ended. But he stopped short of announcing his retirement from international duty. The 37-year-old Ronaldo left the field in tears after Portugal lost 1-0 to Morocco in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Ronaldo said Sunday on Instagram in his first comments after the elimination that it was “time to take stock.” But he didn’t explicitly say if he wants to carry on being available for Portugal. Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in men's international soccer with 118 goals. He said putting Portugal “on the highest level in the world” was his biggest dream. FIFA – After Neymar, Croatia aims to end Messi’s World Cup dream Croatia has already ended Neymar's World Cup dream by beating Brazil in the quarterfinals. Now it hopes to do the same to Lionel Messi in the semifinals on Tuesday. The 2018 runner-up Croatia is the next obstacle for Argentina to overcome as Messi bids to win the one major trophy that has eluded him. Croatia was beaten by France in the final in Russia and is on its own mission to go one step further this time.Detroit Lions’ Jameson Williams reacts after catching a touchdown pass during the first half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, in Detroit.
