Beyond John Harbaugh, new Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley might’ve been the hottest coaching candidate of 2026’s cycle. Almost every team with an opening interviewed him and every franchise who did wanted him back. That apparently includes the Pittsburgh Steelers. During Hafley’s introductory press conference Thursday, Hafley referenced the league-wide attention he received. “I […]

An FBI investigation into the death of Colts owner Jim Irsay has begun. The investigation includes the doctor who provided Irsay with prescription pain pills and ketamine in the final months of his life, the Washington Post’s Will Hobson, Albert Samaha and Sam Fortier report.

A federal grand jury subpoena is seeking information on Irsay’s death, substance abuse and his relationship with Dr. Harry Haroutunian, according to the Post. The subpoena came down earlier this month from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles. Federal agents visited Indianapolis to interview some figures close to...

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are gearing up for an important clash against the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. However, they have some injuries to deal with as they head into the final days of preparation.

New England has enjoyed a spectacular regular season and playoff run so far. They exceeded expectations by finishing with a 14-3 record, winning the AFC East Division and securing the second seed in the AFC bracket.

The Patriots haven’t disappointed, beating the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round and Houston Texans in the Divisional Round to get to...

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold could be significantly shorthanded when he takes the field for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Sam Darnold and the Seahawks were already dealt one massive injury blow after their Divisional Round blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers. Star running back Zach Charbonnet is done for the season with a knee injury, taking away Kenneth Walker III’s sidekick.

To make matters worse, there’s a chance that Seattle could be down three starting offensive linemen against the Rams.

On Thursday, the Seahawks announced that offensive tackles Charles Cross (foot), Amari Kight (knee)...

Usually, the drama of the AFC Championship is reserved for the gridiron, but Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton and New England Patriots wideout Kayshon Boutte decided to get the party started early.

The war of words kicked off Wednesday when Payton was asked if he had a message for the Broncos’ faithful at Empower Field at Mile High. Known for his confidence, Payton didn’t just ask for noise; he practically guaranteed a trip to the Super Bowl. “They’re going to have plenty of rest after this one,” Payton said of the fans. “It’s two weeks.”

Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte...

It’s very rare that you get rubber matches in the NFL, but that is exactly what is on the docket for the NFC Championship Game on Sunday between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks.

The Rams and Seahawks played two of the best games of the year in their NFC West home-and-home this season, with each team coming out on top on their home field. Back in Week 11, the Rams picked off Sam Darnold four times and Jason Myers missed a long field goal as time expired as Los Angeles walked away with a 21-19 win.

For the first time in nearly two decades, there will be another head coach on the other side of the field when the Cincinnati Bengals play the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore moved on from John Harbaugh after failing to make the playoffs in 2025, and after several interviews, they landed on Los Angeles Chargers’ defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to replace him.

Minter worked on Baltimore’s defensive staff from 2017 until 2020, before one season as Vanderbilt’s defensive coordinator. After leaving Vanderbilt, Minter was the defensive coordinator at The University of Michigan under Jim Harbaugh, ironically enough. Minter would build a defense...

After leading the Miami Hurricanes to a surprise national championship game appearance, Mario Cristobal may get the dream opportunity to coach one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises.

Last week, Mike Tomlin announced his resignation from the Pittsburgh Steelers after their playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Tomlin had coached the Steelers for 19 years, leading them to a Super Bowl 43 championship and zero losing seasons.

Pittsburgh recently interviewed Mike McCarthy and Brian Flores for the head coaching vacancy, but the latter signed a new deal to remain the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator.

During the latest episode of his...

Did Caleb Williams lose his rumored girlfriend to a player on the Green Bay Packers? This past year, the Packers and Bears played each other three times. The final time was in the Wild Card round inside Soldier Field. As we saw, Williams pulled off an incredible comeback to win that game.

Now it seems that one Packers player has gotten his revenge, but off the field.

Just before the season, it was reported that Williams and model Alina Thyregod had split. Last month, a new rumor said Williams was dating 28-year-old model Ash Kaash. The OnlyFans model was spotted...

The cold weather could be a real storyline in the AFC Championship Game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday.

If the forecast becomes punishing, it could impact the respective strategies of both teams. The passing game tends to tighten up in cold weather, with the wind and snow making timing routes tougher to execute.

But for Broncos cornerback Jahdae Barron, the cold weather is the least of his worries—as long as they are being compensated.

“It’s okay. We get paid a lot of money for it, so it’s fine...

Jim Harbaugh had Jesse Minter and Steve Clinkscale installed as co-defensive coordinators for two seasons at Michigan. That may be a tell about where the Chargers plan to go at DC now that Minter has been named John Harbaugh‘s Ravens HC replacement.

The Chargers must interview at least one external minority candidate before any Clinkscale promotion — a rumored Minter succession plan — can commence, and they are moving on their DC search hours after Minter’s pledge to return to Baltimore.

After 18 years at the helm, the Baltimore Ravens fired longtime head coach John Harbaugh following a disappointing 2025 campaign. Harbaugh has quickly rebounded, landing a new gig as the New York Giants’ man in charge. Now, the Ravens, led by general manager Eric DeCosta, have finally found his replacement. Shortly after Baltimore announced the hiring of former Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as Harbaugh’s replacement, team legend Eric Weddle compared the hire to the Seattle Seahawks’ selection of ex-Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald on X, formerly Twitter.

“He will have the same impact as Mike M in...
