Tom Brady had three touchdowns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers forced four turnovers to beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night, 30-20, and advance to the NFC Championship.
Tampa Bay pulled off a 10-point swing in the fourth quarter, which proved to be the difference in the game.
Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was knocked out of the team’s divisional round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday after a hit to his head area in the third quarter.
After the Chiefs managed to escape with a 22-17 victory, Mahomes tweeted out “#HenneThingIsPossible,” showing appreciation to the team’s backup quarterback Chad Henne, who came in and sealed the deal for the defending Super Bowl champions.
The New York Yankees made a pair of big moves on the free agent market, reaching a deal with right-hander Corey Kluber worth $11 million for one year and agreeing to a $90 million, six-year contract to keep AL batting champion DJ LeMahieu, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because each agreement is subject to a successful physical.
Kluber, the 2014 and 2017 AL Cy Young Award winner, won 56 games for Cleveland over the 2016-18 seasons, then missed the rest of the 2019 season after he was hit on the right forearm that May 1 by a comebacker off the bat of Miami’s Brian Anderson. He finished 2-3 with a 5.80 ERA in seven starts.
Pavel Buchnevich and Artemi Panarin each scored twice and Alexandar Georgiev stopped 23 shots for his fifth career shutout, leading the New York Rangers to a 5-0 win over the Islanders on Saturday night.
Kaapo Kakko also scored as the Rangers bounced back for their first victory two nights after being blanked 4-0 by the Islanders in the season opener.
