UPDATE: 8:35 p.m. SaturdayA very familiar face to Minnesota football mavens is suddenly moving back into the spotlight, and the AFC playoff chase.Multiple media reports out of Houston say that Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will not play Sunday because he is still in the concussion protocol. And it appears former VIkings QB Case Keenum may get the start against Tennessee instead of the other backup, Davis Mills.The biggest name in doubt for Week 15 is Miami wideout and MVP candidate Tyreek Hill. He will reportedly be a gametime decision Sunday when the suddenly sliding Dolphins play the New York Jets.Also ruled out this weekend are three noteworthy running backs: the Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco, the Patriots’ Rhamondre Stevenson and the Commanders’ Brian Robinson.Players considered doubtful include Green Bay WR Christian Watson and Houston receiver Nico Collins.

A slow start on offense and a couple of defensive breakdowns spurred on a long night in Winnipeg for the Colorado Avalanche.Gabe Vilardi scored twice, and the Jets handled the Avalanche with relative ease for the second time in nine days in a 6-2 victory. This also looked more like a few of those early-season blowout losses than any of the Avs’ recent run of results.Most pundits saw the Central Division race as a two-team battle between the Avalanche and Dallas Stars in the preseason, but the Jets moved ahead of Colorado in the standings with this win and looked impressive even without leading goal-scorer Kyle Connor.Where’s Makar?: Cale Makar missed the game with a lower-body injury. He took part in the morning skate, according to reporters in Winnipeg. Makar has been dealing with a nagging injury for a while. Avs head coach Jared Bednar admitted that both he and Josh Manson have been nursing something.

CHICAGO (AP) — No. 25 Northwestern struggled to find the touch against DePaul coming off a stunning loss. The Wildcats settled into a rhythm in the second half and made enough shots down the stretch to secure a victory they sorely needed. Nick Martinelli scored 16 points and Northwestern bounced back to beat DePaul 56-46 on Saturday.Ryan Langborg added 14 points, Brooks Barnhizer and Boo Buie each had 11 and the Wildcats (8-2) came away with the win after getting surprised at home by Chicago State on Wednesday night.“Everybody gets kicked to the pavement,” coach Chris Collins said. “Everybody has a tough moment in whatever you do. It’s how you bounce back.”The loss to Chicago State was one of those moments for a team that knocked off then-No. 1 Purdue less than two weeks earlier. The victory over the Boilermakers helped push the Wildcats into the Top 25. The loss to Chicago State will likely make it a one-week stay.Northwestern got all it could handle from DePaul before taking contr...Holmes, Elvis power Dayton to 82-68 victory over Cincinnati
