Sunday Sports Update
Top: The San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans are on their way to the next round of the NFL Playoffs after posting victories on Saturday. The 49ers' defense sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins (left) six times and held the Minnesota Vikings to just 147 total yards in a decisive 27-10 win in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Meanwhile, Titans running back Derrick Henry (right) ran 30 times for 195 yards in a shocking 28-12 win at Baltimore. Henry became the first player in NFL history to run for over 175 yards twice in the same postseason. Photos by USA Today

Bottom right: Western New York has a tennis player playing at the WTA level, and that player got to face one of the all-time tennis greats. 25-year-old Jessica Pegula, who is the daughter of Buffalo Bills and Sabres co-owners Terry and Kim Pegula, won her first professional title last summer, but her bid for a second title came up short, as she lost to Serena Williams in straight sets at the finals of the WTA event in Auckland, New Zealand.
