The Packers came into Monday night’s game against the Giants with a perfect record in the month of December dating back through the past 16 games they have played in that time span, but that was all spoiled as they hit the road to face the Giants.

In a game that was uneventful overall at the beginning, there was plenty of back and forth there toward the end as the Giants pulled off the 24-22 victory over the Packers in the final seconds with a field goal.

The Packers had turned things around from a 2-5 start to the season to 6-6 with a very real chance of making a strong postseason run, though they have suffered a bit of a setback at this point.

Though things looked bleak for New York at the end of the contest with just seconds remaining, QB Tommy DeVito led the team down the field to finish the job.

DeVito spoke on what he told his teammates in the huddle during that last drive after the game. The message was simple.

“Let’s go win the game. It’s on us. It’s on the offense.”

Shohei Ohtani is moving just 31 miles for his next work address, but also into another stratosphere.

The most closely followed free agency in MLB history concluded Saturday when the two-way star reached agreement with the Dodgers on a 10-year contract worth a record $700 million. 

Ohtani announced his decision in a statement.

“To all the fans and everyone involved in the baseball world, I apologize for taking so long to come to a decision,” Ohtani said. “I have decided to choose the Dodgers as my next team.”

Ohtani’s deal includes “unprecedented” deferrals — including the majority of his salary, according to sources — allowing the Dodgers the financial flexibility for other moves.

Ohtani, 29, had no shortage of suitors, including at one point the Mets. 

Ohtani, with the Angels, won his second American League MVP award last season after posting a .304/.412/.654 slash line with 44 homers and 95 RBIs in 135 games. 

A sterling second half allowed the New York Jets to end a lengthy losing streak.

If whatever was said in the New York Jets‘ locker room during the halftime break of Sunday’s Week 14 tilt against the Houston Texans, it could perhaps make millions on the motivational market.

After an imperfect opening half that featured punts on 11 of a dozen possessions, the Jets broke through for five scores over the latter half-hour en route to a 30-6 victory over Houston. Zach Wilson was responsible for two of the touchdowns through the air while Xavier Gipson ran in another.

With the win, the Jets (5-8) ended a five-game losing streak and scored three touchdowns in a single game for the first time since a November 2022 win over Chicago. The Jets also owned a three-possession lead for the first time this season.

Defenses ruled the way in the first 30, but an unlikely hero broke through on the scoreboard: in the capper of a seven-play, 75-yard drive to open the second half, Wilson found Randall Cobb from 15 away, accounting for the former Aaron Rodgers disciple’s first score as a Jet.
