Solve the mysteries of the sports world with The Athletic's Connections: Sports Edition puzzle! This daily brain-teaser challenges players to connect the dots between various sports-related themes.
Today's puzzle is no exception, with a yellow category that seemed like a no-brainer. The answer for the yellow group was "Things seen on an NFL sideline," making it easy for even the casual football fan to guess.
Meanwhile, the purple group presented a bit more of a challenge, with the hint "The Big House is another one." The four answers for this group were Beaver, Camp Randall, Ohio, and Spartan, all of which are Big Ten stadiums.
The blue group, on the other hand, was themed around teams Michael Jordan played for. The hint for this group was "Air Jordan," and the four answers were Barons, Bulls, UNC, and Wizards, representing Jordan's time with the Birmingham Barons (minor league baseball), Chicago Bulls (NBA), North Carolina Tar Heels (college basketball), and Washington Wizards (NBA).
