Cousins and the Vikings will travel to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday with a potential playoff spot on the line. Minnesota have just four regular-season games remaining and hold the sixth seed in the NFC, while the Seahawks are fifth. “I do think that we can point to sometimes throughout the year where we’ve underachieved, not because we weren’t giving effort or preparation, but we just haven’t been able to sustain the level of potential in this locker room, play in and play out,” Cousins said....

“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore,” but rather one of when, the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control (CDC) warned on Tuesday. Several countries have banned the entry of travelers from South Korea, which currently has the highest number of cases outside China, while mainland Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Croatia, and Austria have now also reported their first cases. Most of the newly-infected in Europe stemmed from Italy, which has the third highest number of confirmed cases, after China and South Korea, following a recent surge over the past weekend....

The YouTuber recently hosted an entertaining variant of Among Us called “drunk Among Us” alongside fellow streamers such as Sean William “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin, Thomas “Sykkuno,” Rachel “Valkyrae” Hofstetter, and more. While the stream had a host of memorable moments, it was Corpse Husband’s revelation about receiving death threats for a harmless blank post that stood as a worrisome indicator of the rampant toxicity in today’s digital age. Sykkuno reacts to Corpse Husband receiving death threats In the clip above, a segment from the stream plays, where Corpse Husband speaks about his recent Twitter post, consisting of him merely breathing....

Having swept to the crown in 2016-17, the Blues appeared ready to stake a claim for a period of domestic dominance. Antonio Conte was, however, to end his first season at the helm by freezing out 20-goal top scorer Costa. He was eventually moved back to Atletico Madrid, with Alvaro Morata acquired to fill his boots, but Chelsea have faltered in his absence to sit 16 points adrift of leaders Manchester City in the 2017-18 battle for supremacy....

Morata rescues draw for Spain The striker has been linked with a move away from the Premier League champions for much of the past season, despite having scored 22 goals in all competitions. Costa was tipped for a move to the lucrative Chinese Super League in January only to commit to Chelsea for the remainder of the campaign, but his future has been cast into fresh doubt since reports emerged linking the Blues with a bid for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku....

The Esports Certification Institute is a Public Benefit Corporation and a for-profit organization, which also aims to have a positive impact on society. But, thus far, its certification exam has provoked controversy across social media, with most critics pointing to the price as the problem. RELATED: Sony Could Change Twitch and Esports With New Patent The exam came out this past week and, as a promotion, the Institute has cut down the price of it to $299....

Secret bases, in gen 6, allowed other players worldwide to view a secret base through a QR code, so it would be logical for this fan-favorite feature to find its way into Pokemon GO. The mastermind behind the secret bases idea, Venasto1se, even went as far as to design a conceptual mechanic based on the way they think it could work. Of course, before moving on, this is simple speculation, as Niantic has given no statement concerning the further development of the recently added social features....

But new US legislation seeks to take action on these safety concerns. Bills are currently working through the US government to explore bans on TikTok on devices in the country–starting with government devices. Here’s everything you need to know.

Last week, Blizzard released an animated short titled Shadowland Afterlives: Bastion. The replayed a key moment from Warcraft 3, now showing it from the perspective of Uther the Lightbringer, who traveled to the Shadowlands after he was slain by his student Arthas, who would become the Lich King. However, the short also implied that players might see Arthas again in the new expansion, which could mean some huge developments in the WoW lore in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands....

Operation Riptide adds a new mode for matchmaking that allows for much shorter games, where players compete to win nine rounds instead of sixteen. The Counter-Strike series has been considered the definitive first-person shooter series, but these shorter 25-minute-long games may make it a bit more accessible to fans. RELATED: Counter-Strike Fan Manages to get the Game Running on a Nintendo DS The update is also bringing Private Matchmaking Queues for those who want to play with friends....

As final run outs go, there was little more that Derbyshire could have hoped for from the game against Nottinghamshire. We competed well, saw the bowlers find good lines and lengths and the batsmen get balls in the middle of the bat. You couldn’t wish for more. Ahead of his selection of the team for the first game, I think that Karl Krikken has three decisions to make. The top four will be Godleman, Madsen, Durston and Chanderpaul....

In the summer of 2020 Danielle Witt and Ben Rockey-Harris finally found a home just outside of Washington D.C. after months of searching. Witt told NPR she had done a lot of research on the home and was excited at the possibility of moving to the area. However, in an effort to not fall in love with the home too soon, she did not Google the neighborhood itself. When their offer was accepted, Witt jumped onto Google and plugged in Cottage City, their new town, to find the shocking results...

In an unprecedented move, Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), the world’s highest tribunal in sports, will set up an office here during the Asian Games, starting on Friday, to help quickly settle disputes arising from the continental tournament. The official Asiad Daily said Wednesday that CAS, which is headquartered in Switzerland, will open an ad-hoc division in Incheon during 19th September to 4th October, reports Xinhua. The organising committee of the Asian Games said it will be the first time that CAS will have a regional office in operation for the duration of an Asiad....

For years, city leaders across the country have adopted a rather laissez-faire approach to addressing the homelessness crisis. Activists have called for an end to “sweeps”, which include social workers and cops clearing dangerous encampments while offering services to those impacted. Instead, activists enabled by increasingly progressive city councils, push for services to be delivered to the encampments—including portable toilets, trash pick-up and even mobile heroin injection sites. Meanwhile, politicians eye funding towards “affordable housing” measures, an increasingly meaningless idea that simply demands government agencies take a heavier hand in building and maintaining housing for homeless and low-income residents....

In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers in the U.S. and Japan led by a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine said healthy cats that interacted with COVID-19-positive cats contracted the virus as soon as one day after exposure. All cats that were exposed tested positive within three days of exposure, researchers said. “There is a public health need to recognize and further investigate the potential chain of human–cat–human transmission,” the study said, citing earlier reports of cats contracting the virus from humans....

The new coronavirus isn’t hitting every state in America with the same strength at the same time, but officials have warned that this week will be one of the toughest. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) projected that at least four states would hit their peak in deaths, as well as hospital resource use. Of the 374,371 confirmed cases in the United States on Tuesday, 210,047 were identified in Massachusetts, New York, California and New Jersey....

Germany saw its daily death toll drop by over 60 percent in just two days, while the daily death toll in the U.K. also reached its lowest level in nearly two weeks.
