Sunday Sports Update
Top: Four teams are left vying for a spot in Super Bowl LVII. There will be a strong local rooting interest in the NFC Championship Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers, with Eagles head coach and Jamestown-native Nick Sirianni (left) seeking to guide the NFC's top seed to its first Super Bowl in five years. Meanwhile, the nightcap is a rematch of last year's AFC Championship Game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs; last year's contest saw the Bengals rally in the second half and win on an overtime field goal by Evan McPherson (right).

Bottom left: The Buffalo Sabres' bid for a sixth straight win came up short on Saturday, but they did manage to get a point in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. Jack Quinn scored one of the two goals for the Sabres, who collected seven out of a possible eight points on their four-game road trip. The Sabres return to action on Wednesday for their last game before the NHL's All-Star break. Photo by the Buffalo Sabres
