Tua Tagovailoa turned the Alabama offense into something it hasn’t been in living memory: fun.

Order The Veggie Burger With Bacon
More often than is smart, I find myself at a bar and desperately in need of sustenance with dwindling options.

The Saints beat the Panthers for the third time this season, 31-26, to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Cam Newton Sits Down While Trying To Leave The Field After Getting Sacked
Panthers QB Cam Newton took a head-on collision from David Onyemata while trying to avoid a sack in the fourth quarter of his game against the Saints.
