If that's the case, everyone (outside of two specific fanbases) loved the Conference Championships. The Bengals , rallying from a 21-3 deficit to .The Rams overcame a 17-7 fourth-quarter deficit, . It's the largest fourth-quarter deficit overcome in conference championship history.Let's start with the Bengals. I've always believed teams take the shape of their leaders, and Cincinnati certainly does that with --a combination of scrappy, fearle s, calm and tough. The Bengals finished 4-11-1 in 2020. They had a lot of work to do, starting with Burrow himself coming off a torn ACL. Now, he's the first quarterback drafted No. 1 overall , and the Bengals are the Sunday, it was an outstanding defensive effort that turned the tide. The Cincinnati defense held Kansas City to just three points in the second half.Still, when the Bengals , it looked like that Herculean effort wouldn't be enough. Remember last week, when the got Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey the ball first and won minutes later? This time, criminally underrated safetyJe se Bates batted a deep pa s intended for into the arms of.A few plays later, nailed , and the Bengals were celebrating.A half-country away, the Rams came up with a memorable comeback of their own. In the fourth quarter, found for a touchdown (his second of the game), the defense -- led by and -- stepped up, and nailed the game-tying and game-winning field goals. These are the moments Stafford hoped for when he got traded to Los Angeles exactly one year prior, and he delivered. Stafford's fourth-quarter stats: 11-for-14121 yards1 touchdown126.5 pa ser ratingTwo weeks ago, Stafford finally won his first playoff game. Now, he's one game from a title. Coming into this season, the Rams were all-in on a championship. The Bengals, meanwhile, were hoping Burrow would come back healthy and they could continue building around him long-term. Now, they're meeting in the Super Bowl. Is football awesome or what? Honorable mentions Check out from Jaden Ivey that lifted No. 6 Purdue to a win over No. 16 Ohio State. to talk with the front office about the team's 2022 outlook. That's good news for the ' chances to keep him around. And not such a good morning for... AND THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS That was Patrick Mahomesspeaking after the Chiefs' shocking collapse. And he's absolutely right. The Chiefs had plenty of chances to put away the Bengals, but three stick out. With five seconds left in the first half, the Chiefs were 1 yard from the end zone, already up 21-10.With no timeouts left, Patrick Mahomesthrew the ball to Tyreek Hill, who was stopped short of the end zone. Time ran out. No touchdown. No field goal. Nothing.Later, after Cincinnati took a 24-21 lead with roughly six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mahomes drove Kansas City into the redzone. This had to be the one, right? Mahomes was going to lead another game-winning drive. Wrong. On 2nd-and-goal from the 4-yard line, Mahomes took a sack.On 3rd-and-goal he then took another one -- and fumbled -- all the way back at the 24.Lucky for Mahomes, recovered the loose ball, and nailed the kick to go to overtime.Then the Chiefs won the to s. Ok,had to be the one, right? Wrong. Mahomes went incomplete, incomplete and then intercepted. He would never get the ball back. The Bengals earned their way to the Super Bowl. , too, though, writes our Dennis Dodd: Karl-Anthony Towns Jersey Dodd: Not so honorable mention The US men's national team . It was an uninspiring performance, as shown in thefrom our soccer experts Chuck Booth and Roger Gonzalez. Wednesday's match against Hondurasis now a near must-win.When is actually retiring? After 22 seasons, seven Super Bowl wins, five Super Bowl MVPs, three MVPs, and most major pa sing records, Tom Brady is , per BUT Brady has not yet made an announcement, and Brady's agent (Don Yee), father (Tom Brady Sr.) and coach (Bruce Arians) all said there's been no decision. However, that is expected to change soon, according to our La Canfora:La Canfora: It's hard to imagine an NFL without Brady (I was 3 years old when he was drafted, so it's hard for me.) Brady has spent half of his life in the league. He's shared the field with fathers of current players, including that of his Tampa Bay teammate, There are so many moments to pick from Brady's incredible career, and NFL expert Cody Benjamin revisited . For me, it all blends together. There is not a box he did not check. He won it all early, he won it all late, and then he won it all even later -- later than any quarterback in NFL history.You could have made a case 10 years ago, when Brady went a decade between championships, that his peak was behind him. Instead, he won four more titles. Quite simply, there will never be another Tom Brady -- whenever he decides to call it quits., tab new head coaches Longtime offensive coordinatorJosh McDanielsis getting another shot at being an NFL head coach,.McDaniels' ventures into head coaching haven't gone well. He went just 11-17 from 2009-10 with the, Malik Beasley Jersey and was fired before completing his second season.Then, in 2018, McDaniels accepted thejob but never coached for them because he decided instead to return to the Patriots.Otherwise, McDaniels' credentials are quite strong. The Patriots' offense wastop-10 in points in 12 of McDaniels' 13 seasons as offensive coordinator,including this year with rookieat quarterback.Meanwhile,for their opening:Brain Daboll.Daboll worked wonders withand will hope to do the same for. Daboll was a finalist for the ' job, and the had hoped Kevin Garnett Jersey to interview him, so this is a big get for Big Blue.Rafael Nadal, Ashleigh Barty make history at Australian Open Rafael Nadal knows a thing or two about comebacks. This one -- or, rather, these ones -- might be his finest yet. Nadal overcame a two-set deficit, topping Daniil Medvedev 2-6, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 This one is special for Nadal for many reasons: His 21st career major, breaking a tie with Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer for most ever by a manFirst comeback from two sets down since 2007But a two-set deficit is far from the biggest obstacle Nadal overcame. He'd struggled with a foot injury since May 2021, and he had a breakthrough COVID-19 case in December 2021. In , Nadal admitted he didn't know if he would play pro tennis again. There was , too:Ashleigh Barty became the first Australian to win the title since 1978. Barty did not drop a single set all tournament, capped off by a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) triumph over Danielle Collins.
