The Vikings are 14-2. They set up a final-week showdown in Detroit for both the division title and the No. 1 seed for the playoffs in the NFC.

Barkley has 2,005 yards and needs 101 in next week’s mostly meaningless regular-season finale to top Eric Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. The Eagles led 24-7 in the third quarter when Pickett was drilled by defensive end Micah Parsons, ending his first start in place of the concussed Jalen Hurts.

The Vikings held on for a 27-25 victory over the Green Bay Packers to set up the high-stakes showdown in Week 18. The Lions visit the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Win, lose or tie, they have to beat the Vikings for a second time this season. Bills clinch the AFC's No. 2 seed with a 40-14 rout of the undisciplined Jets ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

Rising Sun Devils: Arizona State looks to pull off another big surprise at the Peach Bowl ATLANTA (AP) — As they prepare for Arizona State’s biggest game in nearly three decades, the guys who made it happen aren’t the least bit surprised to be rated a nearly two-touchdown underdog in the College Football Playoff. That’s a familiar position for the Sun Devils. They've been an underdog most of the season. Of the eight teams still vying for a national championship, there’s no bigger surprise than 11-2 Arizona State. The Sun Devils went 3-9 a year ago and were picked to finish dead last in their first season in the Big 12 Conference. Now, they're getting ready to face Texas in the Peach Bowl quarterfinal game on New Year’s Day. Penn State coach James Franklin says Nick Saban should be college football's commissioner SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Penn State coach James Franklin believes college football needs a commissioner and he even has a candidate in mind: former Alabama coach Nick Saban. Franklin made the suggestion Sunday at Penn State’s College Football Playoff quarterfinals media day ahead of the Fiesta Bowl. The sixth-seeded Nittany Lions are preparing for their game against No. 3 seed Boise State on Tuesday. The veteran coach was responding to a question about Penn State’s backup quarterback situation after Beau Pribula transferred to Missouri before the playoff. Pribula’s decision highlighted some of the frustrating aspects of a new college football world in the Name, Image and Likeness era and the transfer portal, forcing players to make tough decisions at inopportune times. Penn State's polarizing QB Drew Allar puts critics on mute and keeps winning games SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Even when Penn State quarterback Drew Allar gets some praise, it’s usually a backhanded compliment. They say he’s a good game manager and stays within himself, or that he doesn’t try to do too much. They mention he might not be flashy, but he gives the team a chance to win. And here’s the thing about Penn State since Allar stepped under center: The Nittany Lions have won games. A lot of them. Sometimes that’s hard to remember considering the lukewarm reception he often gets from fans. The polarizing Allar has another chance to quiet his critics on Tuesday, when Penn State plays Boise State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the Fiesta Bowl. Crosby breaks Lemieux's Penguins career assists record in 3-2 victory over the Islanders PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby broke Mario Lemieux’s Pittsburgh franchise career record for assists on Michael Bunting’s power-play goal and the Penguins beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Sunday night.

"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" and the "Four Seas Brothers" New Work Confirmed to Participate in TGA! Cast of the Stage Version UnveiledTweet Facebook Mail Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexual battery by a woman who claims that in September 2016 the music producer dangled her from a 17-story balcony as others were on site, including his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura. In a suit filed late last week, Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, who was an aspiring fashion designer at the time of the alleged incident, accuses Combs of "outrageous and abhorrent conduct" that violated her "fundamental dignity, bodily autonomy and sense of safety". Bongolan's suit calls what she says happened on September 26, 2016 the "culmination of a series of threats, intimidation and violence that coloured many of Ms Bongolan's interactions with Mr Combs from the day she met him". READ MORE: CEO killed in 'targeted shooting' outside New York hotel, officials say Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexual battery by a woman who claims the music producer dangled her from a 17-story balcony. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters/File via CNN Newsource) Bongolan claims that on that day, Combs showed up to Ventura's apartment and "began shouting and banging on the door". Bongolan instructed her unnamed then-girlfriend to "hide in the guest bathroom and lock the door" because she knew "of his violent temper", according to the suit. Once Combs gained entry, he spotted Bongolan on the balcony and "advanced on her", the suit states. Combs then grabbed her, turned her back to his chest and "molested her by groping her breasts as she yelled to be left alone", before shifting his hands to her armpits and lifting her up on the banister of the 17th-floor balcony, according to the suit. Bongolan's suit claims Combs was angry with her but she "did not then, and does not know now, what Mr Combs believed she did". The lawsuit states Bongolan managed to get herself back over the banister to safety but that Combs lifted her up again "with only Combs' grip keeping her from falling to her death". Upon seeing what was happening, Ventura intervened and Combs pulled Bongolan back over the balcony but then "slammed" her onto patio furniture, the suit claims.

(Getty) Attorneys for Combs said the musician, who is currently is custody awaiting trial on federal charges, "firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless". "He has unwavering faith in the facts and in the fairness of the judicial process," his lawyers' statement said in part. "In court, the truth will come to light, demonstrating that the claims against Mr Combs are without merit." Bongolan's suit echoes a situation mentioned in Ventura's dam-breaking November 2023 lawsuit that, while settled quickly, was the first in what turned out to be a barrage of civil lawsuits against Combs. He now faces over 30 civil complaints, in addition to being the subject of an ongoing federal investigation. Ventura's lawsuit, which was settled the day after it was filed, made mention of an incident in which Combs allegedly "picked up one of Ms Ventura's friends like a child and dangled the friend over the balcony of the 17th-floor hotel suit" that Ventura was staying in. This alleged incident, however, was stated in Ventura's suit as having taken place after an August 2015 so-called freak-off, the term prosecutors and others allege was used to describe Combs' drug- and sex-fuelled parties. A source familiar with the alleged balcony incident told CNN that the "friend" mentioned in Ventura's 2023 lawsuit is, in fact, Bongolan and that her allegation is the same one referenced in Ventura's claim. CNN has requested comment from Ventura's attorney. In May, CNN published a surveillance video that showed Combs physically abusing Ventura in 2016 in a Los Angeles hotel. Combs apologised two days after the video was broadcast in a video shared on social media. "I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab," Combs said. "I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry." Bongolan's suit makes reference to Combs of displaying a "disturbing pattern of abusive behaviour" and claims that Combs often showed up to Ventura's apartment unannounced and started banging on the door, at which time Ventura would instruct her to be quiet "so as to make Mr Combs believe no one was home". Her suit claims she saw Combs throw a large kitchen knife at Ventura. Bongolan is suing Combs for damages.First dog-friendly cruise scheduled for 2025.
