The #Bengals may be settling down for the offseason, but with Burrow and Chase they know they’re set offensively for a while. 🔥

This catch had just a 13.4% completion probability. That’s the lowest chance on a 4th-down throw in the last THREE years. 🤯

After 23 seasons in the #NFL, and despite heavy links with the #49ers, Tom Brady announces his (second) retirement.

Not the way he would’ve wanted to go out, but for a 44-year-old who finished 3rd in passing yards this year, these numbers are sensational. 👇

One of the most underrated signings of the January transfer window was Victor Kristiansen’s move from @FCKobenhavn to @LCFC. 📝

He made 99 overlapping runs in his #sldk appearances this season, the third-highest tally in the league. 🔥

On Victor Kristiansen:

“We’re delighted to have him here. He is not just one for now, but one for the future as well. He’s a bit behind on fitness with the difference in seasons in Denmark. He will be in the squad for the weekend.” 🇩🇰

Atlanta United averaged 12.7 crosses into the penalty area per game in 2022, the fourth-most of any #MLS team last season. But their conversion rate from crosses was just 9.1% (23rd-ranked). 🎯

Giakoumakis will have plenty to feed off in Atlanta.

Not totally done yet. Agreements set, final steps now for club/player. Atlanta needed to make room in salary cap.

@AnthonyRJoseph reports the deal is $4.3m + $1m add-ons.
