6+ min ago (427+ words) Aston Villa have reportedly intensified their pursuit of River Plate defender Lautaro Rivero, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The 22-year-old centre-back has drawn major interest across Europe after he made rapid progress in the Argentine club's setup. Villa appear particularly determined to move ahead of both Tottenham and Manchester City, with the Midlands side convinced he fits neatly into Unai Emery's structure. Rivero, left-footed and comfortable carrying possession, suits a manager who wants his defence to stay in control while still looking to play forward. Rivero joined River Plate as a youngster and earned promotion to their senior squad in the summer of 2024. Soon after, he had a useful loan spell at Central C'rdoba, where regular minutes sharpened his development. On return, he cemented a position in River Plate's first team and has accumulated 16 appearances so far. That progression also…...

6+ min ago (673+ words) To say the Washington Capitals (15-9-2) are officially back would be an understatement. They finished the month of November with a 4-1 road win over the New York Islanders (13-10-3) on Sunday afternoon. The Capitals struck first in the opening period when they went on the power play, as Alex Ovechkin fed to Tom Wilson near the net for the tally. Then, in the second period, Wilson intercepted a pass from Islanders netminder Ilya Sorokin and scored on an empty net to make it 2-0. In the third period, the Capitals gave up a goal from Bo Horvat while on the penalty kill. However, Aliaksei Protas and Alex Ovechkin both responded with two empty-netters to seal it. However, this game belonged to Logan Thompson, who made 30 saves on 31 shots and continues to be a surefire Vezina candidate. With the win, the Capitals are now…...

8+ min ago (433+ words) For the first time in more than a month, the Buccaneers and their fans again experience victory " though one would hardly call it a particularly encouraging one. Clunkiness on offense and defense continued to plague Tampa, but enough plays from both sides led to a narrow 20-17 win against the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. The win pushes Tampa's record to 7-5 and finally stops the bleeding caused by the team's annual mid-season slump, as it's the first W since Oct. 26 against the Saints. It also narrowly holds off the resurgent Carolina Panthers, who sit at 7-6 (the two rivals meet up for the first time in three weeks). Let's do some shoutouts and see if the Bucs can build on their moment next week against the flailing New Orleans Saints. Without the spark Irving's long-awaited return provided, it's very arguable that the Bucs would…...

10+ min ago (494+ words) The Indianapolis Colts just lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, after falling short to the Houston Texans in Week 13 by a score of 20-16. Daniel Jones played a steady game at quarterback, and running back Jonathan Taylor did the same at running back; however, there was a lack of spark plays that typically help contribute to the Colts' momentum on offense. The Colts' defense tried to fill that gap, and Cam Bynum's interception set up the Colts' first touchdown of the day, but outside of that one moment early in the game, it constantly felt like the Colts were fighting to keep the game close at times. Let's take a look at the top takeaways from Indianapolis' Week 13 performance: Jones completed 14 of 27 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns, while avoiding throwing an interception. Jones has been consistent in…...

11+ min ago (315+ words) The post Max Brosmer somehow just out-stunk J.J. McCarthy with appalling pick-6 vs. Seahawks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Minnesota Vikings find themselves down 13-0 going into halftime, as the team continues to struggle. With Max Brosmer filling in at quarterback for JJ McCarthy, it appears Brosmer managed to somehow out-stink McCarthy with a horrific interception. Minnesota was in the red zone trying to put some points on the board. On fourth and one, the Vikings called a play action that had Brosmer rolling to his right. However, DeMarcus Lawrence got in the undrafted free agent's face, forcing Max Brosmer to throw the ball away. But the attempted pass fell right into the arms of Seahawks' linebacker Earnest Jones, who returned it for an 84-yard touchdown. That interception return for a touchdown is the only touchdown recorded for both teams so far…...

18+ min ago (143+ words) There was no shortage of hype surrounding Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey entering the 2025 campaign. McConkey had a standout rookie season in 2024 and he's once again the team's leading receiver entering Week 13 with 644 receiving yards. However, McConkey is not having a good day on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half. Here's a closer look at what's happening.

26+ min ago (177+ words) Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert returned to Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders after leaving with an injury to his non-throwing hand. Herbert led the Chargers on a 74-yard opening drive that finished with a touchdown pass to Quentin Johnston. It wasn't immediately clear that he sustained an injury, but he jogged with trainers to the locker room after the possession. Backup quarterback Trey Lance took over on the next Los Angeles possession, and the Chargers announced that Herbert was questionable to return with a left-hand injury. Herbert returned to the sideline with a padded glove on his injured left hand and did work with footballs in an apparent effort to test his ability to play with the injury. He replaced Lance in the middle of the drive after apparently determining that he could continue to play. The…...
