Campbell explains double timeout on final drive

Chicago faced a 3rd and 9 with just under two minutes left in the game at the Detroit 16-yard line and trailing 14-13 coming out of a Detroit timeout.

"Obviously can't do that," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said after the game. "But we had miscommunication. Half of our secondary had one Hoka Sneakers call and half had the other.

No. 1 Gonzaga beats down No. 2 UCLA in Final Four rematch

Let's just say the Gonzaga-UCLA rematch didn't live up to the hype. Seven months after the Zags needed an all-timer of a buzzer-beater to escape the Bruins' bid to end their undefeated season, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs smeared the No. 2 team in the country into a fine paste at the Good Sam Empire Classic in Las Vegas, winning 83-63. Never mind that UCLA returned nearly the entire corps of its unlikely Nike Air Force 1 Shadow Final Four team while Gonzaga lost two All-Americans to the NBA draft.
