Sunday Sport: Winter Sports, Premiership Rugby, NFL

Did someone say Winter Olympics?  Yes, next month in South Korea.  Today, as with many of the weekends this month, competitions are being held throughout the world in  run up to the Olympics, some each weekend choosing the athletes who will represent the participating countries.  Adelboden, Switzerland, today, hosts an event of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup.  This afternoon, the United States Figure Skating Championships are being held at San Jose, California.  The Men's Mass Start Speed Skating competition will be held this afternoon in Milwaukee, as part of the U.S. Olympic Trials

In the United Kingdom, the Premiership Rugby Season continues with a big match today between the Wasps and the Saracens. Wasps will be looking to extend their Premiership winning run to seven when they host Saracens at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on Sunday.  The Saracens have won three of the last four games the two have played.    But they face a stern test in the reigning European Champions who have lost just two of their last 12 encounters.  The black-and-golds were dominant against Bath last Friday but will have to contend without injured pair Kyle Eastmond and Josh Bassett.  Their task is however made easier with their opponents recent poor form, with two wins from their last two Premiership matches coming on the back of a seven-match winless run.  The Wasps have started to show why they are considered one of the most exciting teams in the Premiership by scoring 112 points in their last three top-flight matches.  The Saracens possess one of the meanest defences in the game and have conceded the second least amount of points this season.

In the United States, The Wild Card weekend of the National Football League playoffs continues on Sunday, with the Buffalo Bills travelling to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Carolina Panthers travelling to the New Orleans Saints. 

After a three-season absence, the New Orleans Saints (11-5) will play in a postseason game for the first time since 2013 when the team hosts the Carolina Panthers (also 11-5) at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday.  Only  10 Saints, including quarterback Drew Brees, running back Mark Ingram, defensive end Cameron Jordan, tackle Terron Armstead and punter Thomas Morstead, among others -- remain from the Saints' 2013 team.  Linebacker and Notre Dame alum Manti Te'o, who signed a two-year deal in March 2017, last appeared in the postseason as a member of the then-San Diego Chargers.  Seeking stability amid an uncertain future, the Carolina Panthers signed coach Ron Rivera to a two-year contract extension on Saturday.  On the field, the Panthers have been fairly consistent outside of a disappointing 6-10 season a year ago.  Its defense finished third in the NFL with 50 sacks during the regular season, and it is the only team in the NFL to not allow an individual 100-yard rusher in any game this season. The Panthers set a franchise record by going 20 consecutive games without allowing a 100-yard individual rusher, the longest active streak in the league.  Carolina's offense has finished in the top 10 in the NFL in yards rushing per game in six of the past seven seasons, including a fourth-place mark this season at 131.4 yards per game.

It’s been a generation since the Jacksonville Jaguars last hosted a home playoff game and Sunday’s contest with the Buffalo Bills at EverBank Field will mean much more than just a game for the city, the franchise and the fans.  The Bills’ 17-year playoff drought is a thing of history, albeit, ugly history. Thanks to last week’s Jacksonville lodd, coupled with Cincinnati’s stunning triumph over Baltimore, the Bills are back in the postseason for the first time since the 1999 season.  This is the 16th game counting playoffs, every played between these teams, with the Bills holding an 8-7 lead. ... Last year, the Bills defeated the Jaguars in Buffalo, 28-21, and the year before, Buffalo lost to Jacksonville 34-31 in a game played at Wembley Stadium in London.  Jacksonville leads the Bills in all statistical categories, both offense and defense.   In the only playoff game between the teams, the Jaguars defeated the Bills 30-27 in 1996. That game happened to be the first meeting ever in Jacksonville’s second season in the NFL. In today's game, the sentimental choice has got to be the Bills.  The best to all teams.
