Before the Rams defeated the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, Wilson tweeted out “1-0 #GoHawks.” It wasn’t really trash talk, especially considering it came from Wilson, one of the most bland, non-confrontational athletes in sports.

Then the St. Louis Rams coach telephoned Shaun Hill to tell the veteran quarterback he’d changed his mind about sticking with Davis for the long haul. And that he’d be starting this week for an offense that’ll try to keep up with Peyton Manning’s high-powered attack. “It’s never an easy decision when you make a change in the middle part of the season,” Fisher said after Hill got the snaps at Wednesday’s indoor practice....

Seven years ago, however, both teams had only seven wins. This time, with Los Angeles leading at 8-3 and Seattle right behind at 7-4, a good team will end up with the title, while the other might be left at home in January with no playoff berth at all. Both the Rams and Seahawks got much-needed rebound victories in Week 12 after tough losses to fellow NFC contenders. Although the difference remains only one game, the Rams have moved up to the No....

Believe it not, they have not been that bad of a home team. They fooled us with a season opening win at home over the Vikings, 20-3. After a couple blowouts on the road, they came home to lose to the Packers, 17-3. Not great, particularly on offense, but the defense played well against an offense that was playing some of the best football in the league. Next home game, they beat the Ravens 25-20 then lost 20-3 to the Seahawks....

Now, New York keeps its second-round pick and instead has to give up the No....

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the Scottish champions got off to a superb start as James Tavernier opened the scoring after just 70 seconds after Borna Barisic’s cross was flicked on by Joe Aribo.

The Foxes have won both their Champions League ties, most recently beating Porto 1-0 on Tuesday to move top of Group G. But they have stuttered in the Premier League, sinking to heavy 4-1 defeats at Liverpool and Manchester United to sit 12th in the table, with just seven points from six games. Ranieri wants his players to rediscover the form which saw them canter to a surprising title triumph last season, starting with their game at the King Power Stadium at the weekend....
