Does Sunday’s wild win in Pittsburgh tell us more about the Steelers or Ravens when it comes to AFC contenders? Nguyen: This Packers team is better than last year’s edition. A month from now, are we going to be talking about the Dolphins, Colts, both or neither as competing for the seventh seed in the AFC? Pompei: The competition for the last wild-card spot in the AFC could come down to the Dolphins, Colts, Bengals and Broncos. The Colts defense has improved, and on Sunday Richardson executed better than he did prior to his benching.

Kolossal hopes to film a colossal squid in its natural habitat, the waters around Antarctica. The scientists were searching for the colossal squid, an evasive cephalopod that can weigh 1,100 pounds. The enigmatic colossal squidMeasuring about 46 feet with its tentacles spread out, the colossal squid is nevertheless hard to spot. Advertisement"We're not claiming this is the colossal squid, but it's also not not a colossal squid," Mulrennan said of footage of a translucent squid that the camera filmed. Kolossal/MulrennanBased on assessments of experts who have seen the footage, it's impossible to tell whether the animal is a young colossal squid or a full-grown glass squid.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The momentary bliss-fueled blackouts that used to consume T.J. Watt after every big play still come. So maybe it's best to let others — like older brother J.J. Watt — serve as his hype men. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin called Watt “the best defensive player on the planet” on Tuesday. Pittsburgh safety Minkah Fitzpatrick — himself a three-time All-Pro — laughed when asked if he took Tomlin's praise of Watt personally. “I just want to continue to be the best player I can be for myself and for this team.”___

☆ Webb telescope spots cosmic question mark in space

CNN —A cosmic object in the shape of a glowing question mark has photobombed one of the latest images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope — and scientists think they know what it might be. The two have been observed and studied by space and ground-based telescopes since the 1950s, but the highly sensitive Webb telescope allowed for the highest-resolution and most detailed image yet. NASA/ESA/CSA/Joseph DePasquale (STScI)The Webb telescope illuminates information about the origins of our universe, but the appearance of this mysterious object in the background of this image leaves more questions than answers. The cosmic question mark hasn’t been closely observed or studied, so scientists aren’t exactly sure about the object’s origins and makeup. The question mark shape could also be “indicative of a merger where these two galaxies are interacting gravitationally,” Britt said.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope spotted a question-mark-shaped object in deep space. The question mark could be two galaxies colliding, interacting, and distorting each other. Is that a giant question mark? What are you playing at, James Webb Space Telescope? The bigger pictureWebb wasn't looking for a question mark.

☆ Colorful new stars shine in latest Webb telescope image

CNN —A pair of rambunctious young stars takes center stage in a new near-infrared image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope’s capabilities allow it to peer through an otherwise obscuring nebula, filled with gas and dust, that surrounds the stars. The Webb image also showcases a variety of stars and galaxies around and behind the nebula. The two stars will ultimately finish forming over millions of years, and the brilliantly hued features in the Webb image will diminish as the binary star pair brightens. The space telescope’s peek at this critical moment in the stellar life cycle will allow astronomers to understand more details about how stars form and evolve over time.
