Today's UPDATES

Four Weeks left in the NFL Season and anything can happen between now and then. We've got four teams with a record of 10-2 who look could have the potential to head to Super Bowl LII in February, the defending champions New England Patriots have multiple target on their backs, everyone is gunning to take their hopes and dream of winning another Super Bowl championship away from them. Five teams who have mage a big impact in the AFC will qualify for the playoffs next month and with the Patriots most likely to clinch, it will be rough to eliminate them in the Divisional Round or in the Conference Championship, but good news for some non-New England fans [like me], Rob Gronkowski was suspended for one game by the NFL without pay for his late hit on Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White last Sunday. Before the NFL verison of the Winter Games begin, we need to continue with regular season play, and here's a busload of Max Sports results to lighten the mood.

The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a win to tie with the New England Patriots for the top spot in the AFC Conference and boy did they ever win last night. The subject of Today's #TwitterTrend is about the Steelers 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last night in Monday Night Football which came at a heavy price and the potential of losing a good player. During the game, the Steelers' linebacker Ryan Shazier went head first into another player on a tackle, this caused him to suffer a lower back injury that left him motionless to get up and walk on his own two feets. He left the field on a backboard and was soon transported to a local hospital in Cincinnati, while the Steelers continue to fight back in this game against the Bengals. The Big Orange Cats suffered the loss of player as well when linebacker Vontaze Burfict was sent to the ground very hard by Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster who taunted over him while Burfict was down. Smith-Schuster was then hit with two 15-yard penalties and Burfict headed to the locker room on a backboard, but it all came down to the final seconds of the fourth quarter where Steelers placekicker Chris Boswell hit a 38 Yard Field Goal to put an end to what is being called "one of the most violent games of the year." Monday Night Football has been the most talked about event on Mondays Nights and last night was no different, so it's time to see what people have to say about the hard hitting Steelers-Bengals game.

Vontaze Burfict had this to say about the hit that injured Antonio Brown in a 2016 AFC wild-card game.

Mike Darnay @MikeDarnay

that Lev Bell head fake was INCREDIBLE. he broke that man.

Aditi Kinkhabwala @AKinkhabwala

Oh boy. They've brought the board out for Shazier. Lot of Steelers have taken a knee as they watch. Bengals kneeling on field too.

John Kriesel @johnkriesel

Oooof. JuJu Smith-Shuster will lose some cash, and hopefully sit out a game or two. Total prick move to stand over a player who may be unconscious from his illegal block.

Cassandra @ChrisWarcraft

Bold choice by the Bengals to play flag football.

Steelers Wire @TheSteelersWire

Ryan Shazier is THE playmaker for the #Steelers defense. This looks pretty bad. He is not moving his legs and cart is out. Players praying. All the best to @RyanShazier. HATE to see this, no matter who you root for.

Brandon McCarthy @BMcCarthy32

Just going by his own logic, we have to consider that Burfict is faking this.

Kofie @KofieYeboah

Antonio Brown playing on 9 toes and still cooking us

We suck.

Bruce Irvin @BIrvin_WVU11

@RyanShazier praying for u brother!

This is one of the most violent, vicious and dirty football games in recent memory. #MNF

Jimmy Kimmel has been a busy man this year, dealing with the health issues of his infant son, ticking off Republicans about Health Care, and getting extremely emotional about the terrible shooting in Las Vegas. This week, Jimmy Kimmel is letting another set of famous celebrities take over his late night show on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel Live. Last night, Chris Pratt, star of The LEGO Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World step up to the plate and knock a big one out of the park, the fact that you have a celebrity with such a terrific list of accomplishments host a show like Jimmy Kimmel Live is beyond belief, but I guest that anything about can host that show now, as long as they know what they're going at the time and know how to make the audience laugh. Tonight, it's Tracee Ellis Ross' turn to take over the host's chair, then tomorrow we have Neil Patrick Harris, and on Thursday, Melissa McCarthy wraps up the show with her take on comedy. But first, Web Choice is showing you some of the highlights from Chris Pratt's awesome show last night.
