Watch UEFA Champions League Live Online.

Real Madrid has to defeat Paris Saint-Germain at home on Tuesday if it is to keep alive its hopes of finishing first in Champions League Group A. Rivals Atletico Madrid face a must-win matchup of its own when the team travels to Juventus on Matchday 5, hoping to cut the three-point gap and move level at the top of Group D.

PSG dominated Real 3-0 when the teams met for a Group A matchup at the Parc des Princes in September, but Zinedine Zidane’s side will look to give a more confident account after going unbeaten in its last six games (five wins).

Jose Mourinho will make his Champions League debut as Tottenham Hotspur manager on Tuesday. He made a triumphant start to his reign in north London when his side beat derby rivals West Ham United 3-2 on Saturday. He’ll enjoy his first home match in the hot seat when the Spurs host Olympiakos, Group B’s bottom outfit. 

Interim Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick made his debut in the role during his side’s last Champions League fixture, a 2-0 win at home to Olympiakos. Flick remains in charge as things stand, and Die Roten will guarantee a top spot in Group B if it wins at Red Star Belgrade.

Manchester City can also wrap up first place in Group C, provided they secure at least one point at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, whom it defeated 3-0 in Ukraine on Matchday 1.

Wednesday features key clashes from Liverpool, last season’s Champions League winners, and a Barcelona team struggling to find its best form this term.

The Reds face a crucial clash at home to main Group E rivals Napoli, who beat them 2-0 in Italy two months ago. Victory at Anfield would guarantee first place with Carlo Ancelotti’s side sitting one point off the pace, while a draw could allow third-place Red Bull Salzburg a top-two lifeline.

Barcelona hosts Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be a tense affair, with the two Group F giants having drawn 0-0 at the Westfalenstadion in September. 

Lionel Messi was again key for Ernesto Valverde’s side as it struck from a goal behind to beat Leganes 2-1 on Saturday. Dortmund rescued a 3-3 draw against Paderborn on Friday after it had trailed by three, but the Black and Yellows are now without a win in two, conceding seven times along the way.

Chelsea will go in search of revenge over Valencia on Wednesday when they travel to Spain, with Frank Lampard having suffered a miserable 1-0 home loss to Los Che in his Champions League managerial debut. The Blues sit level on seven points with Group H opponents Valencia and Ajax—who travel to Lille on Wednesday—as tensions reach their crescendo in the first round.

A painful opening weekend for Wisconsin deer hunters

Deer hunters look forward to opening day, but not everyone is suitably prepared when that day arrives, and some are downright unfortunate.

Deer hunters always look forward to opening day, but not everyone is suitably prepared when that day arrives, and some are downright unfortunate.

Wisconsin is a case in point, having inauspiciously marked the beginning of its firearm-hunting season on Saturday.

According to a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources news release, a 38-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman accidentally shot themselves in the foot in separate instances; and a 19-year-old woman was shot in the hand by another hunter who was aiming at a running deer.

The injuries were not life-threatening.

On Sunday, a 31-year-old man was shot in a case that remains under investigation because the shooter has not been identified.

The DNR’s Bureau of Law Enforcement is hoping to interview hunters who were in certain Washburn County/Minong Township locations on Sunday.

The DNR stated: “Anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, may confidentially relay their information by text, phone call or online to the WDNR Violation Tip Line:  1-800-TIP-WDNR or 1-800-847-9367.”

Wisconsin is not the only state to have its opening weekend marred by accidental shootings.

Last week in Michigan, a man accidentally shot his brother after mistaking him for a deer. The brother was flown to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition.

Also during opening weekend, two young boys were injured when a weapon discharged as their father was preparing for his hunt.

Nature’s artistry revealed in stunning whale photo

A photographer in California’s Monterey Bay has captured an image showing a remarkable closeup of a humpback whale’s face and eye.

The most compelling whale images tend to show the majestic leviathans in full breach, lunge-feeding on schooling fish, or revealing their flukes.

But last Thursday a vastly different image was captured in California’s Monterey Bay by Eric Austin Yee, showing a remarkable closeup of a humpback whale’s face and eye.

Eric Austin Yee/Blue Ocean Whale Watch

“A curious humpback whale with its eye wide open doing some people watching,” Yee, who was with Blue Ocean Whale Watch, wrote for his Facebook description.

RELATED: Can you spot the hidden object in this shark photo?

Open-eye shots are difficult to capture, but what helps set this image apart are the vivid patterns and surreal facial markings.

Kate Cummings/Blue Ocean Whale Watch

“It almost looks like a watercolor,” one person commented.

The circular marks are scars left by acorn barnacles, Alisa Schulman-Janiger, a California-based whale researcher, told For The Win Outdoors.

But it doesn’t require a vivid imagination to conjure a sea jelly, or jellyfish, with its tentacles draped around the whale’s blue eye.

[protected-iframe id=”f23538443b177e22e18d84914bae6bd9-58289342-114731612″ info=”https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fblueoceanwhalewatch%2Fvideos%2F788119608317879%2F&show_text=0&width=560″ width=”560″ height=”315″ frameborder=”0″ style=”border: none; overflow: hidden;” scrolling=”no”]

 

Or the billed creatures – one with what looks like a duck’s head – positioned in front of the eye.

“I think this is my favorite photo of a humpback that I have ever seen,” another commenter wrote. “Like, I want this in full print on my wall.”

Yee was working as a naturalist aboard the High Spirits, which was returning to port at Moss Landing when humpback whales were spotted.

Kate Cummings/Blue Ocean Whale Watch

“We were heading home but couldn’t resist turning around to a group of humpbacks that originally was two humpbacks, but became four,” Yee told For The Win Outdoors.

The whales swam to the boat after it had been idled, allowing Yee to capture the closeup, and Capt. Kate Cummings to capture her own images of the same whale, as well as video showing three of the whales engaged in “friendly” behavior alongside the vessel. (Images and video accompany this post.)

Cummings said the whale photographed by Yee stood out because of its extensive white markings, especially along its throat pleats.

Schulman-Janiger agreed with Cummings that they were likely part of a skin disease, but the whale seemed as playful and active and as the others and did not seem bothered by the skin condition.

Cummings posted her video to Facebook along with this description:

“Incredible experience today with friendly humpback whales! Three whales spent nearly a half hour circling and rolling around the boat and getting super close! One whale got a little too close and swiped the side of the boat with its flukes when it was twisting! For a whale, it was a gentle tap.”

Yee said he was shooting from the upper deck with an 80- to 200-millimeter lens.

Rescuer does the impossible to save big-wave surfer

The World Surf League called it “one of the craziest rescues ever seen” when a big-wave surfer was picked up just in the nick of time.

The World Surf League called it “one of the craziest rescues ever seen” when Brazilian big-wave surfer Lucas Chumbo, after exiting a big wave, was picked up by his teammate on a jetski just moments away from total disaster.

The close call occurred during a big-wave session at the famous big-wave locale of Nazaré, Portugal, last Wednesday, and it was captured in video by Pedro Miranda, who posted the footage on Friday.

Chumbo, a 24-year-old from Brazil who is one of the most prominent big-wave surfers in the world, rode a big wave and made a successful exit, leaving him in what is called the inside or the impact zone. His teammate, Ian Cosenza, had only a matter of seconds to reach Chumbo and ride to safety before a following wave of whitewater devoured them.

Amazingly, they were engulfed by whitewater but managed to ride to safety anyway.

“I’ve been filming Nazaré for many years, and during a jetski rescue there is one thing guaranteed: when the whitewater swallows a jetski, it’s game over, period,” Miranda told USA Today/For The Win Outdoors.

“Well, apparently not anymore. What Cosenza did was incredible; he stuck to it and managed to do something we all thought was impossible, especially because of all the bumps and turbulence inside the foam ball. It took a great deal of experience and for sure some luck to pull off this stunt.”

Miranda told For The Win Outdoors “the consequences could’ve been very dramatic, as both of them could be hit by the jetski and knocked unconscious right in the worst place of Praia do Norte.”

Miranda said the surfer and his rescuing teammate “are redefining the concept of extreme watermen.”

Also on FTW Outdoors: Surfer Bethany Hamilton shares powerful message

In his description with the video, Miranda explained further, saying, “Cosenza has to go full speed and needs critical control to avoid the bumps in the water that can easily flip the jetski. Given this was a high-period swell, waves are faster than usual (reaching speeds of 60 mph) and eventually the monster wall of whitewater that is chasing them, end up swallowing the jetski and both surfers.

“When something like this happens it generally doesn’t end well, but incredibly and against all odds, Ian Cosenza saved the day, successfully riding the jetski out of the whitewater and putting them both out of harm’s way.”

How to Watch Cowboys vs. Patriots, NFL Week 12 Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Stream Cowboys vs. Patriots Live Online.

The NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (6-4) hit the road to take on the AFC East-leading Patriots (9-1) in a showdown between two of the NFL’s best teams. These two teams have combined for 11 NFL Championships. The Cowboys lead the all-time series, 7-5 including victories in the last five meetings.

When you mention Dallas, the first place you start is with its offense, which ranks first overall (444.6 YPG). The Cowboys beat the Lions last week 35-27 behind a strong showing from quarterback Dak Prescott, who threw for 444 yards and three touchdowns. Prescott leads the league with 3,221 total yards this season. Michael Gallup and Randall Cobb both totaled over 100 yards receiving, while All-Pro Amari Cooper was limited to just three balls for 38 yards. Cooper is fourth in receiving with 886 total yards. Running back Ezekiel Elliott has struggled in the last two games, with under 50 yards on the ground in both. Elliott and Cooper will need to step up against the Patriots defense. 

While the Cowboys offense gets a lot of the credit, their defense is ranked in the Top 10 in points allowed, total yards allowed and passing yards allowed. The unit had three sacks against the Lions and has excellent linebackers in Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, who have 90 and 72 total tackles, respectively. Defensive end Robert Quinn has eight-and-a-half sacks this season. Can this group make Tom Brady and the offense uncomfortable? We know what Dallas’ offense can do, but its defense can be the difference maker in this game.

The New England Patriots are 9-1, but Tom Brady was frustrated after their 17-10 win against the Eagles last weekend. Why you ask? Brady threw for 216 yards and no touchdowns, the team had 72 total yards on the ground and both Julian Edelman and Ben Watson barely broke 50 yards. Plain and simple, the offense wasn’t very good and he realized that. Dallas can put points on the scoreboard and the New England offense will have to do its part to reach the end zone in this game as well. 

New England’s top-ranked defense vs. Dallas’ top-ranked offense is the main storyline in this one. The toughest contest of the year for the Patriots was its game against the Ravens and the team lost. Dallas hasn’t faced a slew of difficult teams either. This one will be a litmus test of where each is at. Last weekend against the Eagles, the New England defense carried the team. It recorded five sacks on quarterback Carson Wentz. Danny Shelton led the team with seven tackles and one interception. Should Prescott look to air it out to Amari Cooper and company, he better be cautious. The Patriots boast the second-best passing defense (152.6 YPG) and a top-notch secondary that includes Devin McCourty, who is tied for the league lead with five interceptions this season.

The Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions have experienced quarterbacks on their roster, but have had to change their plans to let young signal-callers take the reigns. When they square-off at FedEx Field, the teams will have their eyes on their inexperienced quarterbacks.

Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel, tasked with filling in for an injured for Matthew Stafford, threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-27 loss at home to the Dallas Cowboys. With Stafford ruled out for this game as well, Driskel will have another chance to impress. Detroit’s defense will need to step up in this contest after giving up 509 yards to the Cowboys last week. With Washington’s less potent offense, this is an opportunity for the Lions to get back on track offensively. 

Washington also lost its last outing, dropping a game at home against the New York Jets by a score of 34-17. The team was held to just 54 yards rushing, which forced the team to put the ball in the air more than it wanted with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins under center. Haskins completed 19 of his 35 pass attempts for 214 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. With Detroit overly capable of moving the ball through the air and on the ground, the Washington offense may need to produce at a high level to keep pace.

Stream Giants vs. Bears Live Online.

The New York Giants (2-8) look to steal a win from the Bears (4-6) Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. The Giants have won the last two games, both at MetLife Stadium, and four of the last five, including a 30-27 overtime thriller last season.

A bye week may be exactly what the Giants needed as they prepare for the Chicago Bears this weekend. New York has lost six in a row, including a 34-27 loss at the hands of the Jets. Daniel Jones was impressive with 308 yards passing and four touchdowns. The team’s first round pick definitely has the talent but needs more help from his supporting cast, including running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley had 13 carries and one yard against the Jets. In his first two games, he had over 200 yards rushing and has 175 in the five games since. However, he’s been plagued with a severe sprained ankle. Darius Slayton and Golden Tate combined for 216 yards and two scores last game and will need to step up against the Bears.

Chicago could use a win as well to build momentum for the rest of the season. After a solid start to the year, the Bears have lost five of their last six, including a 17-7 road loss against the Rams. Mitch Trubisky completed 24 of 43 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown, one interception and was sacked three times. Trubisky left late in the game with a hip injury and Chase Daniel took over. Daniel was the quarterback the last time these two teams met while Trubisky missed the game due to a shoulder injury. The Bears running game has also been inconsistent. Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery were both limited to under 40 yards, while Taylor Gabriel led the team with seven catches for 57 yards. Lack of offensive production has been a theme for the Bears during this stretch and will need to improve if they want to get back over the .500 mark.

The Bears’ defense has been a staple of this franchise for many years. This year’s group is fourth in points allowed (17.4) and eighth in total yards allowed (322.9). Opponents are doubling up on Khalil Mack, and rightfully so. Roquan Smith stepped up last week with 11 tackles and one interception. If Mack, Smith and company can disrupt Jones’ rhythm, it will be a long day for the Giants.

Stream Buccaneers vs. Falcons Live Online.

NFC South divisional rivals Tampa Bay and Atlanta face-off for the first of two meetings this season on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have identical 3-7 records. The Falcons lead the all-time series 27-24 and have won the last five games, including a 34-32 victory on the road last year. The last time the Bucs defeated the Falcons in Atlanta was on Sept. 11, 2016.

The Buccaneers have one of the best offenses in the league, but turnovers once again cost Tampa Bay in a 34-17 home loss to NFC South opponent New Orleans. Jameis Winston completed 30 of 51 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns, but also four interceptions. Winston is third in the NFL with 3,078 yards, but he also leads the league with 18 interceptions this season. Those turnovers helped the Saints jump out to a 20-0 lead early. The running game was non-existent with just eight plays. If the Bucs can establish the run game, they can open up the play-action pass where Winston can be a little more mobile and throw to arguably the best 1-2 wide receiver combination in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Evans and Godwin are ranked second and third in receiving with 993 and 887 yards, respectively.

Tampa’s defensive front is one of the best in the league and it is ranked second when it comes to stopping the run. Last weekend they were limited to just one sack. Drew Brees threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns, including numerous balls to Michael Thomas. It doesn’t get any easier with a much improved Falcons offense led by quarterback Matt Ryan and speedy wide receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Tampa Bay is last in points allowed (31.3) and second to last in pass yards allowed (290.9). 

After starting 1-7, the Falcons have won their last two games and it couldn’t have come at a better time. They beat NFC South opponents, New Orleans and Carolina, holding them to just 12 combined points. Against the Panthers, Matt Ryan threw for 311 yards and one touchdown for the third best passing attack in the league with an average of 300.3 YPG. While the Bucs have a solid 1-2 punch, the Falcons do as well with Jones and Ridley. Last weekend, Ridley led the team with eight catches for 141 yards and one touchdown, while Jones hauled in six balls for 91 yards. Jones is ranked fifth in the league with 992 yards and is certain to break the 1,000 mark on Sunday.

Offensive coordinator Dierk Koetter and Raheem Morris, the Falcons assistant head coach and secondary coach, both spent time as the head coach of the Buccaneers. We’ll see how that helps on Sunday. One area that hasn’t needed a ton of help has been the defense. The unit has held the Saints and Panthers in back-to-back weeks to no offensive touchdowns and combined for 11 sacks.  Last weekend, the defense picked off Kyle Allen four times led by De’Vondre Campbell, who had 12 tackles and one interception. If the Falcons defense can force Jameis Winston out of his rhythm and create turnovers, this game will play right into Atlanta’s hands.
