Tonight’s matchup at Madison Square Garden was destined to be a bruiser. Both teams played last night—the Knicks (32*-18) in a rout of Washington and Denver in a gutsy loss to Detroit.

The Seattle Seahawks’ Wednesday practice report is out for Super Bowl week, and it’s more encouraging than the lengthy list suggests.
