Let’s hope the 49ers — the Seahawks’ stumbling division rival and now only NFL team without a head coach for 2017 — paid attention to how Atlanta dismantled “The Legion of Boom” in Saturday night’s 36-20 divisional playoff rout of Seattle. That’s exactly the offense San Francisco knows it needs to build with its new GM. That’s exactly why it should be ready to hire Shanahan as that new head coach whenever the Falcons are done with their playoff run — which may not be for a while....

They saw the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles rally in the fourth quarter and then hold off the Falcons on the game’s final drive for an 18-12 victory after a 45-minute rain delay at Lincoln Financial Field. IYER: Falcons need to fix Ryan, offense or else risk early exit from NFC race Jay Ajayi rushed for two touchdowns and the Birds used a familiar trick play to spark their offense in a game marred by flags and mistakes on both sides....

The two NFC South foes have losing records, with the Falcons coming in at 4-5 while the Panthers are 2-7. Despite that, Atlanta is currently in a tie for first place in the division with Tampa Bay, and a win would put the Falcons in sole possession of the division lead, at least for now. Meanwhile, the Panthers are only two games behind the Falcons for first, but they also are in tanking mode and own the second-worst record in the league....

Haug’s measurements of ancient climate variations in the Cariaco Basin off the coast of Venezuela–hundreds of miles from the Mayan sites in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize, but affected by the same weather patterns–confirmed the existence of Gill’s droughts. Haug’s research, published last Friday in the U.S. journal Science, has provided the most conclusive evidence to date that a series of droughts in 9th-century Central America was an important cause–perhaps the main cause–of the collapse of Mayan civilization....

“You know, usually I’m staying in the background and I just couldn’t, I couldn’t stay quiet anymore,” Gladys Sicknick told reporters following a meeting with Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah). She was joined by her son’s longtime girlfriend, Sandra Garza, in seeking sit-downs with every Senate GOP office to speak about the need to establish an independent body to investigate the insurrection, according to a copy of a scheduling request email obtained by Politico....

That’s exactly what happened on Sunday as Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff 107 yards for the touchdown against the Titans. The game kicked off at 1:02 p.m. ET. The Eagles were up 7-0 by 1:04 p.m. ET. The 107-yard return is the longest in franchise history. The Eagles have been outstanding on special teams this season, scoring two punt return touchdowns and two kickoff return touchdowns. They’ve also blocked three punts, one field goal and one extra point....

The Eagles were able to pull out a 27-7 win at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field in what was an extremely sloppy game. The Eagles (3-3) are tied with the Giants for first place in the NFC East because somebody has to lead what is the worst division in the NFC and possibly all of football. With nobody in the mediocre division above .500 after six weeks, the Eagles and Giants are ahead of the Cowboys (2-3) and Redskins (2-4)....

Washington clinched the division title and a playoff berth with a 20-14 win over the Eagles on “Sunday Night Football.” It certainly wasn’t flashy, but Washington’s defense held Philadelphia scoreless in the second half to seal the victory. Alex Smith completed 22 of 32 passes (68.8 percent) for 162 yards with a pair of first-half touchdowns, followed by a couple of second-half interceptions. But the big key for Washington was that neither of those turnovers led to points for the Eagles....

Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman told reporters at the NFL Combine last week that the team is working on a contract to keep the quarterback. According to Fox Sports, the Eagles have recently upped their offer to Bradford with the hope of signing him to a multiyear deal before the start of free agency.

Although there’s a good amount of data out there on a lot of teams, a new year of action means having no previous recent history, which can create some numeric possibilities to exploit. Sporting News will revisit the picks against the spread for Week 1 closer to the opening kickoff times, but here are our best predictions in advance: (Game odds courtesy of FanDuel) 2021 NFL RANKINGS: QBs | RBs | WRs | GMs | Head coaches...

It was 13 years ago when Earnhardt died on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. NASCAR would never be the same, with his death having an incredible impact on everyone in the sport. For every individual, Earnhardt and his legacy mean something different. He touched many people in different ways. For many of us, that day 13 years ago is still clearly etched in our minds. I was a sportswriter for The Daytona Beach News-Journal at the time and I went to the infield care center after the accident, and will never forget how white Ken Schrader’s face was when he came out and how he stammered through an interview....

The Principality club was drawn in a tough group which included Tottenham Hotspur, Bayer Leverkusen and a tricky trip to Moscow to face UCL stalwarts CSKA. Taking all six points from their clashes with Spurs, a 2-1 home victory over the Premier League side on Matchday 5 secured their passage to the round of 16 as group winners. Monaco were out for revenge when they travelled to Wembley on Matchday 2 to meet Tottenham, who had eliminated the Ligue 1 club from last season’s UEFA Europa League with a 4-1 destruction at White Hart Lane....

Seth, 41, an Oxford-educated Indian who lives in New Delhi, originally intended to write five short novels; he started the first and apparently couldn’t stop. He has said he was amazed when publishers greeted his manuscript with enthusiasm. One of them, he claims, “objected to its brevity” but bid anyway. In the end he received a total of more than $1 million for U.S., British and Indian rights. Seth must be used to pulling off the impossible by now-his last novel, “The Golden Gate,” got rave reviews despite being written entirely in verse–but his American publisher is trusting to more than Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity, to sell this book....

For example, a 40 in (100 cm) set is approximately 20 in (51 cm) tall and 35 in (89 cm) wide. [2] X Research source The standard resolution for TVs as of 2019 is 1080p. This resolution is perfectly fine for most situations. A lot of higher-end TVs come with 4K resolution, which makes pixels harder to detect when you’re up close. However, this only works with content made for 4K resolution....

Other things on the ground to avoid when selecting a campfire site include tree roots and grass. Pre-built fire pits at campsites are ideal because they usually already have high metal sides and sometimes even a built-in grill. A general rule is that you should have at least 3-times the height of the fire of clear space above the fire. As an alternative to rocks, you can use green wood logs, which is wood that is fresh and still contains moisture, so it won’t catch on fire easily like dry, dead wood....
