Joey Bosa, the older brother of 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa, is in Philadelphia to support San Francisco as it attempts to win the NFC championship and a Super Bowl berth. The seventh-year player was sporting 49ers gear outside the stadium when an Eagles fan approached him. “Bosa,” the Eagles fan repeatedly jeers, “when do the Chargers play?” The Chargers linebacker responds by calling the person videoing him a homophobic slur, asking whether he’s Snapchatting the video to his friends....

Los Angeles spent a lot of money to upgrade their roster during the 2022 offseason. That was especially true on defense, where the acquisitions of Khalil Mack and J.C. Jackson were supposed to add more elite-level talent to their defense. However, the same old problems have plagued the Chargers at times this season. They have dealt with countless injuries to key players — including Joey Bosa, J.C. Jackson, Rashawn Slater, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, to name a handful — while the team’s run defense has continued to be its kryptonite....

Wenger savages Arsenal fans before final Their hopes were extinguished when Alexis Sanchez initially found Olivier Giroud with a quick through ball. Aaron Ramsey slipped the wrong side of Ngolo Kante and from there Arsenal’s record 13th FA Cup title was secure.

Over the course of two goal-laden spells with the Blues, the Ivorian made a habit of netting on the big occasion against London foes. Conte: I trust all Chelsea players The Gunners rarely had an answer to Drogba’s pace and power, and despite now being 39 years of age, the iconic frontman has joked at making a return to his former club to aid their trophy hunt.

Hazard has developed into one of Chelsea’s undisputed star players since joining the club in 2012, but his future at this season’s FA Cup winners is shrouded in uncertainty. Real Madrid are believed to be keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old’s situation and he has yet to open up on his long-term plans. The attacker’s contract is due to expire in 2020, but Chelsea seemingly have different priorities at this stage, with manager Antonio Conte set to make way for former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri ....

Chelsea eased to a 3-0 win over Newcastle United in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, with Cahill returning to start following two weeks out with a hamstring injury. In the lead-up to the game, Conte’s future has been questioned once again amid rumours Chelsea are lining up a replacement as they expect the 47-year-old to leave in the summer.

Chelsea are trying to renew the contract of Eden Hazard as Antonio Conte publicly admits it is “impossible” that his side can retain their Premier League title. Real Madrid are watching and waiting to see how the talks go as Hazard is set for continued speculation around his future. The Belgian has repeatedly said he enjoys life in London, though, having become a symbolic player for the Stamford Bridge club....

In a sport where a single individual error frequently decides the final outcome of a game, many players will often feel compelled to make an easy play — pass the ball to an open teammate for example — so as to avoid the individual confrontation altogether. Usually this is a sensible decision, in the team’s best interest. In a 1-on-1 situation, there aren’t many players who have the technique, the speed and the agility to carry out the appropriate evasive maneuver....

The Belgium international moves to centre forward in Antonio Conte’s side, with Willian and Pedro flanking him in a new-look attacking line-up. There is no room for Michy Batshuayi, however, who remains on the bench in spite of Morata’s withdrawal due to a back injury.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, who they meet on Sunday, are just three points ahead of them in the table and are part of the battle for Champions League places in the Premier League. Managers Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte have had plenty to say about each other in recent months and now have the opportunity to go head to head.

Though interest in the teenager is continuing to grow, Juve are currently understood to be the front-runners for Tonali, who is rated at €20 million (£17m/$23m). Should they land Tonali, Juve would look to loan out the youngster to continue his development, with Sassuolo and Bologna candidates put forward by the Italian champions. The 18-year-old has been so impressive in Serie B that he has earned his first call up to the senior Italy national team and is being widely described as the heir apparent to Italy legend Andrea Pirlo....

The English forward was on target twice as he shone against the team who released him as a schoolboy. Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka, the latter with a penalty, accounted for the other goals to secure the points for Mikel Arteta’s men. The Gunners had lost their previous three league games but looked transformed against Chelsea, with their counter-attacking play troubling the FA Cup finalists throughout.

Here are some close-ups of the rings, which include interesting notes and details: MORE: A relationship timeline for Matthews and Mahomes...

385 days and 19 games later, we’re still waiting to put “Chiefs wide receiver” and “touchdown” in the same sentence. MORE: Must-see Week 17 images | Jerry Rice not fond of Chiefs’ WR-ignorant offense Bowe nearly did it in the second quarter of Kansas City’s 19-7 win over San Diego on Sunday, but his apparent score was ruled a fumble before crossing the goal line. The Chiefs, eliminated from playoff contention after a Ravens win, officially finished an entire season without a WR catching a touchdown pass....

Patrick Mahomes is coming off another shaky performance against the Packers, but made the key throws without key mistakes to push the Chiefs back above .500. Derek Carr and the Raiders turned in a post-bye clunker in losing to the NFC East also-ran Giants. Mahomes and Carr need to be sharp in prime time against two exploitable defenses. Expect offense to be clean, balanced and explosive from both sides. Here’s how Sporting News seems the QB duel playing out:...
