Wisconsin star Johnny Davis scored 37 points, and the Badgers upset third-ranked Purdue 74-69 at Mackey Arena. Davis also pulled down 14 rebounds, as number 23 Wisconsin handed the Boilers their second Big Ten loss. Zach Edey scored 24 off the bench for the Boilers, which dropped to 12-2 overall. Purdue trailed by five at halftime, but came out of the locker room hot and led by as many as seven before the Badgers fought back. Jaden Ivey added 14 for Purdue, but struggled with foul trouble in the first half and made just 3-of-9 field goal attempts. The Badgers had not won in West Lafayette since 2014, and have just five wins at Mackey Arena. Purdue will try to get back in the win column Saturday when the Boilers play at Penn State. The Nittany Lions are coached by former Purdue assistant Micah Shrewsberry.

For coach Frank Reich and the Indianapolis Colts, the playoffs begin this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indianapolis controls its own destiny, and can secure a playoff berth with a victory in the season finale. The Colts are massive 15.5-point favorites over the 2-14 Jaguars, but Indianapolis has struggled in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have beaten the Colts six straight times at home, but are just 15-35 against all other opponents at TIAA Bank Field in that time frame. Jacksonville’s tumultuous season will come to an end Sunday. Coach Urban Meyer was fired after 13 games, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence has struggled as a rookie after being the top pick in April’s draft. The Colts are 9-7, and held on for a six-point victory over the Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium in November.
The Steelers topped the Browns last night at home in Monday Night Football 26 to 14
