            — The top prize for individ-
            ual  excellence  in  college
            football  is  the  Heisman
            Trophy. For the first time in
            the  Super  Bowl  era,  five
            winners  of  that  prestigious
            keepsake are expected to
            suit up in the same game,
            each in pursuit of the NFL's
            most coveted team award
            — the Vince Lombardi Tro-
            phy.
            Baltimore  will  bring  three
            Heisman  winners  (Lamar
            Jackson,    Mark   Ingram,
            Robert Griffin III) into Satur-
            day  night's  playoff  game
            against  Tennessee,  which
            has a pair of players (Mar-
            cus Mariota, Derrick Henry)
            who accepted the trophy
            presented  annually  to  the
            most outstanding perform-
            er in college football.
            "Five?  I  didn't  even  think
            about  that,"  said  Ravens
            quarterback  Lamar  Jack-
            son,  who  won  the  2016
            Heisman with Louisville. "It's
            going to be incredible."
            For all he accomplished at
            Louisville during that amaz-
            ing  season  three  years
            ago, Jackson would gladly
            trade his statue for the op-
            portunity  to  hoist  the  tro-
            phy in Miami on Feb. 2.
            “That’s the trophy I want,”       Pastrnak, Rask lead Bruins
            Jackson said.
            “That’s the best trophy you       over Predators 6-2
            can  get  playing  football.
            That’s  what  I  want,  that’s
            what  the  team  wants,
            that’s what we’re going to   Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask, of Finland, reaches for the puck in the second period of an NHL hockey game against the
