Georgia’s agonizing 41-year wait is over.

With 54 seconds left in Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship, Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo intercepted Alabama quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown — the longest pick-six in championship game history — cementing the No. 3 Bulldogs’ 33-18 win over the No. 1 Crimson Tide and the program’s first national championship since 1980.

The play brought Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, a former walk-on, to tears on the sideline, and as soon as the clock expired, Georgia’s assistant coaches and staff bolted to the elevators in the shaking press box at Lucas Oil Stadium, with one yelling, “Hell yeah!” as they thundered out cheering together.

On the field, coach Kirby Smart said he hugged 89-year-old Vince Dooley’s neck — the last coach at Georgia before Smart to win the national title — and they were both in tears.

In the New York Jets’ 17th and final game of the 2021 season, on a cold and blustery day in Orchard Park, New York, the New York Jets were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 27 – 10.

The Jets quickly fell behind 10 – 0 as the Bills dominated in every facet of the game. However, after the opening two drives the Jets defense settled in and started to shut down the Bills offense.

A 40 yard Zach Wilson touchdown pass to Keelan Cole brought the Jets to within three points at 10 – 7 late in the second half.

After being held to three total points in the second and third quarters the Bills offense finally broke through with a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. That gave the Bills a two score lead at 20 – 10, and with the Jets offense struggling to get any positive yardage against the best defense in the NFL, a valiant Jets effort looked like it would fall short.

On their next possession the Bills punched in another touchdown with under four minutes to play for a 27 – 10 lead and the game was basically over.

With the loss the Jets finish the season at 4-13 in head coach Robert Saleh’s rookie season.

The New York Giants fell, 22-7, to the Washington Football Team in their regular season finale at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Washington improved to 7-10 on the season, while New York ended the 2021 season with a 4-13 mark. This is just the second 13-loss season in Giants history and the sixth-straight game in which the Giants lost by 10 or more points.

The Giants are now 10-23 under Joe Judge, 19-46 under Dave Gettleman, 22-59 since their last winning season (2016) and 61-100 since their last Super Bowl championship.

The Giants’ lack of faith in the offense was on full display at the end of the first half. On second-and-11 from the two-yard line, the Giants had Jake Fromm run a QB sneak up the middle. On third-and-9 on the following play from the four-yard line, the Giants called for the sneak again, failed to convert and promptly punted the ball.
