MAMBA ON THEIR MINDS

Before the Lakers’ first game following the

Jan. 26 death of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter

crash, the players—all wearing Bryant jerseys—

watched a memorial video at Staples Center.

PLANE SIGHT

Damien Williams scored the game-winning TD for the

Chiefs with 2:44 left in Super Bowl LIV against the

49ers, barely sneaking the ball around the pylon.

COACH EAUX AND JEAUX

One month after winning the

Heisman Trophy, Burrow

hoisted more hardware to the

delight of the Superdome crowd

and of Ed Orgeron, who won his

first career title in his fourth

year at the helm of LSU.
