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

The legendary CBS play-by-play announcer will call Sunday's AFC championship game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

The game marks the ninth meeting between quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Bills, and...Read more

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At 5:30 p.m. Sunday, just as the Kansas City Chiefs trot onto GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to play the Buffalo Bills, 39-year-old Eyvin Nygaard Sommerseth will be 4,500 miles away, sitting on his couch in Halden, Norway, dressed in his Chiefs gear — Patrick Mahomes or Chris Jones jersey — waiting at 12:30 a.m. local ...Read more

TAMPA, Fla. — The Buccaneers shouldn’t have any trouble attracting a good offensive coordinator to replace Liam Coen.

Not only has the job been an express route to becoming an NFL head coach — Dave Canales with the Carolina Panthers last year and Coen with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday — it comes with quarterback Baker Mayfield and...Read more

SEATTLE — The question is not whether DK Metcalf helps the Seahawks win.

It's whether a trade might help them even more.

To address that question, let's first consider some relevant context. Of the four teams with surviving Super Bowl dreams, which of their wide receivers crack the top 50 in three basic categories?

Receptions

20. Terry ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Here are the Eagles. Their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, has an injured knee, and everyone has conveniently forgotten that he suffered a concussion just a month ago, and neither of those developments is helping him shake the impression that the Eagles could be rolling toward their third Super Bowl appearance in eight years even if ...Read more
