CeeDee Lamb has (sort of) already won the best catch competition for the 2022 #NFL season.

His 27-yard grab from Week 11, when the #Cowboys took on the #Vikings, had just a 7.4% completion chance – the lowest of the season.

Of the six QBs taking part in the #ProBowlGames, Geno Smith was the only one to finish the season with a higher completion percentage than expected (4.4% over xComp). 🎯

According to @NextGenStats, that’s the second-highest overperformance of 2022. 🔥

Liverpool go top

In the Premier League, Liverpool jumped to the top of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1.

Pablo Fornals gave the Hammers the lead after 10 minutes but Mohamed Salah equalised three minutes before half-time from the penalty spot after being fouled by Arthur Masauku in the area. It was Liverpool’s first shot on target in the game and Salah’s eighth league goal of the season.

Substitutes Diogo Jota and Xherdan Shaqiri combined for a late winner – scored by the Portuguese forward with five minutes remaining. Jota has scored in Liverpool’s last three league games.

It was West Ham’s first league defeat in five games, after playing against sides who finished in the top seven last season. They were without key forward Michail Antonio, who was injured.

Since David Moyes’ first game back in charge of West Ham in January, the London side have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League (16).
