Fan violence makes its way to the NFL playoffs.

The New England Patriots battled the Denver Broncos in frigid temperatures inside Mile High Stadium. Unfortunately, the battle between the two teams extended further than the football field.

It was a game that featured an incredible change from a clear field to a snowy one. Players were literally disappearing amid the falling snow in the AFC Championship game. The Patriots knocked off the Broncos by a field goal to win the AFC Championship and return to the Super Bowl for the 12th time in franchise history.

Despite the game being over, there was still some controversy going on, but it had nothing to do with the players. Fans were leaving Mile High Stadium, with thousands of them in a very bad mood.

One video from outside Mile High showed Patriots fans chanting, “We all we got, we all we need.” It seemed harmless enough until a Broncos fan had something to say about it. A Denver fan was seen approaching a New England fan in a threatening manner.

As the opposing, outnumbered fan tried to walk away, he still received trash talk as he was approached. That is when he struck with one punch, knocking the Broncos fan down, knocking him out cold. The knocked-out guy’s friend tried to intervene as the man behind the camera told his friend to knock him out as well.

It is unknown if that fan suffered the same fate.

Both of these fan bases have been fighting all season.

One security guard had to fight off two Broncos fans as he saved a woman from a brutal attack. New England Patriots fans were attacking each other outside Gillette Stadium in November. Two female fans from New England were also fighting inside the stadium as they tumbled over seats.

Nobody has been on their best behavior this football season. In the end, the Patriots are on their way to the Super Bowl. ESPN’s Football Power Index has the Seahawks as the favorite to win that game.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
