NEW YORK — Now that the Jets have a new coach in Aaron Glenn and a new general manager in Darren Mougey, it’s time for the real work to begin.

Part of that will include deciding on Aaron Rodgers‘ future with the team.

Glenn and Mougey had their introductory press conference on Monday, and they stressed that Rodgers will be evaluated just...Read more

LAS VEGAS — Pete Carroll enjoyed spending time with his family and watching his grandkids pursue their many hobbies, including football, during his time away from the game.

But deep down, he’s a coach. He wasn’t going to stay away from the sidelines for long.

“I’m chasing the passion of it. I love the game and I love being part of it...Read more

LOS ANGELES — The NFL playoffs are rigged. The referees favor the Kansas City Chiefs. It's all a conspiracy to hand those Reid-revering, Mahomes-adoring, Kelce-and-Swift-lovin' cultists a third consecutive Super Bowl championship.

For these charges to stick, however, evidence and motive need to be established. Let's start with evidence:

— ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the Chiefs seemed to slog and wobble through most of a 15-2 regular season, you had to lean on testimony from the last few seasons that any win is a good win, and that what wasn’t killing them was making them stronger.

Something that said each of those survival-of-the-fittest episodes didn’t so much reveal ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Demoralizing.

That’s how it feels to play against this Eagles offense. Really, there is no other way it can feel. Snap after snap. Run after run after slant after run. Nothing there? Throw it away and live to see another down. Then run it some more. Four, 5, 60 yards at a time. All of them bruising. All of them gained with ...Read more

PITTSBURGH — Steelers president Art Rooney II reiterated his confidence in coach Mike Tomlin despite another late-season collapse and early playoff exit but said it's apparent his team is not at the level to compete with the best teams in the league.

And he said the top priority to help change that is determining what to do at quarterback.

PHILADELPHIA — A week later, with their team now set to play in the Super Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles fans apparently have nothing but respect for Los Angeles Rams rookie Jared Verse.

Verse, the Rams' boisterous edge rusher, riled the Eagles faithful before the NFC divisional round playoff game by saying he hated them and found them annoying. ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Sunday’s game meant a lot to Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Not only did his team win the NFC championship, securing a trip to New Orleans for another chance at the Lombardi trophy, but it happened on the fifth anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s death.

In Gardner-Johnson’s first season with the Eagles in 2022, he wore the ...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs are one game shy of the first three-peat in NFL history.

But they’ve already made some history.

The Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, 32-29, and they’ll face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

All it took was the most points they’ve scored in a game this season.

The ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — The party was on at Lincoln Financial Field. The confetti was falling, and the stage was set. But Saquon Barkley was heading through the southwest tunnel of the stadium as Eagles fans serenaded him with “MVP” chants.

SEATTLE — Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has found his successor for fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb — Klint Kubiak.

Putting a capper on what stands as one of Macdonald’s first significant decisions as Seattle’s head coach — the decision to replace Grubb after just one season — the Seahawks announced Kubiak's hiring ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — It was early in the fourth quarter when a few rogue flecks of green confetti started catching the light up near the rafters of Lincoln Financial Field.

Premature perhaps, but understandable. For a second time in three seasons, the party started early in a lopsided NFC championship game as the Eagles beat the Washington ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Terry Bradshaw, more a winner than a great quarterback, said it best:

“All he does is win!” Bradshaw said on the postgame presentation platform.

Moments later a classic from DJ Khaled blasted from the speakers at Lincoln Financial Field: “All I do is win, win, win, no matter what!”

The quarterback draw that sealed ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Sometime between Saquon Barkley’s lightning-bolt 60-yard touchdown and the Washington Commanders’ dumb and desperate attempts to stop the Tush Push, between the opening kickoff of Sunday’s NFC championship game and the moment early in the fourth quarter when Nick Foles’ face flashed across Lincoln Financial Field’s two...Read more

Robert Saleh is back as defensive coordinator of the 49ers, and all is right with the world.

For now, anyway.

Coach Kyle Shanahan has cycled through DeMeco Ryans, Steve Wilks and Nick Sorensen after Saleh’s departure following the 2020 season to become head coach of the New York Jets. Saleh, 20-36 with the Jets, will be the 49ers’ fourth ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — After the 2016 season, I wrote that Howie Roseman should be fired. Eagles coach Doug Peterson had stumbled to a 7-9 record in his first season as a coach of a fractured and poorly assembled roster. Roseman came off two years of exile from personnel matters in the middle of a power struggle with Chip Kelly, whom Roseman hired and...Read more
