Liverpool had dominated the Merseyside derby so thoroughly that the 1-0 scoreline – courtesy of another stunner in Mohamed Salah’s bulging collection – was incredibly kind to Everton at that point in a ridiculously one-sided encounter. Jurgen Klopp’s men had created more than enough to wreck the visitors’ festive period for a second year running, but as Dejan Lovren gave referee Craig Pawson a decision to make after putting his hands on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it felt like Christmas had been cancelled for the Reds....

On this night, Chisora was left at the mercy of the judges once again after another devilishly close contest....

That said, Dallas had its chances to do so. It couldn’t get the job done, and that was partly thanks to a brutal drop by CeeDee Lamb. The Cowboys’ top receiver broke wide open on a downfield pass with just under five minutes left to play in the first half and Dallas leading 6-3. Lamb managed to get cornerback Dane Belton turned around and had five yards of separation on him when quarterback Cooper Rush’s pass came in his direction....

But Witten, who grew up in an abusive environment, had to expect he’d be asked about recently signed teammate Greg Hardy, who missed all but one game last season because of a domestic violence issue and subsequently has been suspended 10 games this season by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy (via ESPN).

The Browns entered the 2019 season with high expectations after building a wealth of talent and a surprisingly-improved campaign in 2018. Quarterback Baker Mayfield returned after a successful rookie season, Odell Beckham Jr. was brought in as a star wide receiver to complement his college buddy Jarvis Landry, and Nick Chubb looked to be the answer at running back.
