The Green Bay Packers face real questions after another playoff loss. Green Bay fell 31-27 to the Bears on Saturday in the NFC Wild Card round. The defeat ended their season and put new pressure on head coach Matt LaFleur.

The loss stung even more because Green Bay had chances late. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams played well in the fourth quarter, but the Packers still got the ball with a chance to win. Jordan Love and the offense could not close it out. The loss dropped Green Bay to 1-5 in its last six playoff games under LaFleur.

According to Ian Rapoport, there are teams that still think Notre Dame HC Marcus Freeman could be an option to make the jump to the NFL despite his statement that he’s staying in college.

Rapoport says any pursuit of Freeman would have to be handled quietly because of his situation at Notre Dame, so he probably wouldn’t interview openly with a team.

However, there are teams that still view him as a top-tier candidate, per Rapoport.

Freeman was previously listed among the names to watch for the Giants’ HC vacancy.

Freeman, 39, played linebacker at Ohio State and was drafted...

The Sean McVay coaching tree continues to bear fruit. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports, the Browns have requested a head coaching interview with Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.

Scheelhaase, 35, made the jump to the professional ranks in 2024 after spending the entirety of his career as a collegiate staffer. That included his work as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Iowa State under highly-respected HC Matt Campbell, which clearly caught McVay’s attention.

After just one season on McVay’s staff, Scheelhaase landed two OC interviews in last year’s cycle and was even considered the favorite for the Jaguars’ gig. He...

If you’re Roger Goodell, you’re probably throwing a party in your New York City mansion after the electrifying football we saw yesterday. Day one of the NFL Wild Card weekend was as resounding a success as you can have.

The Los Angeles Rams and potential MVP Matthew Stafford willed their way to a last-second victory over an incredibly gritty Carolina Panthers team, while Caleb Williams’ Bears somehow overcame a 15-point deficit to send Green Bay packing.

Quite literally, these two Saturday games could not have been more fun to watch.

Now, it is on the Sunday slate to keep the...

You remember the viral video clip from the Eagles tailgating lots a few years back? It was the guy who did the “two years varsity” line from Invincible. Turns out he had emergency brain surgery recently and there’s now a fundraiser to help with the resulting costs:

A few years ago, many of you may recognize Tom Trampe from a Philadelphia Eagles hype video that went viral — “2 Years, Varsity!” That same larger-than-life spirit is exactly what’s carrying him through the fight of his life right now.

Recently, Tom underwent emergency brain surgery that quite literally...

Football fans had plenty to say over the new NBC Sports scorebug that was leaked ahead of Super Bowl 60.

After a four-year wait, NBC Sports will broadcast the Super Bowl this season. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will be on the call for the big game at Levi’s Stadium (home of the San Francisco 49ers) on Feb. 8.

It also appears that the network has created a brand new scorebug ahead of Super Bowl 60. According to Manny Soloway of Awful Announcing, a new scorebug was shown during an unscrambled NBC satellite test feed:

In Today’s Links: seller’s remorse via the Ravens?; why Klint Kubiak looks attractive to teams that need a new HC, Stacy Rost presumes our Seattle Seahawks are still somewhat underrated, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and some of our boys have made the 2025 All-Pro team, and that is to be celebrated; other deserving ‘Hawks that did not make it, a bit on Jake Bobo and his adjusted roll this season, more flowers for John Schneider, breaking down the run-game with those that know, again; a look back at yesterday’s first playoff games, and the potential match-ups therein, and more, of course!

The Green Bay Packers looked like they were heading to the Divisional Round after being up 21-6, but things did not turn out in their favor. The Chicago Bears ended up walking them down in the second half, and it was Caleb Williams who was a key factor for them. The Packers didn’t do themselves any favors either, as they missed field goals and easy opportunities to get more points on the board.

Before everything turned around for the Packers, Micah Parsons was enjoying the show and tweeting like a happy fan.

“We need to take the life outta the...

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since the 2016 season, and their playoff win drought has led to a lot of heat being put on head coach Mike Tomlin. With the Steelers hosting a playoff game on Monday for the first time since 2020 and in the wake of the Baltimore Ravens firing […]

The Giants have been connected to former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh from the moment Baltimore fired him last week, with initial reports saying New York is “all-in” on the former Super Bowl winner. The Dolphins have also contacted Harbaugh, but in the estimation of the NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (video link), Miami’s GM hire is good news for Big Blue’s pursuit.

The ‘Fins recently named Jon-Eric Sullivan as their new general manager, bypassing Chad Alexander in the process. Interestingly, Alexander – who worked for the Ravens during 11 of Harbaugh’s 18 years with the club – was [added...

This is everywhere, and it’s real. It happened Saturday night in Hershey:

I like how the white goalie comes flying in to just clobber somebody while the blue goalie stands in net the entire time. White goalie actually has 3-4 moments in which he just plows somebody completely over, but the funniest part might be around 20 seconds, when a blue player hits a blue player and then the other kid punches his teammate. They weren’t even pausing to think about who they were hitting, they were just throwing hands. It’s was an all-out war!

Also funny is how the...

Lil Wayne could not be more pissed that Caleb Williams and his “purple nails” ended the Green Bay Packers’ season.

The Packers and Chicago Bears faced off on Saturday, Jan. 10, in the first round of NFL Wild Card Weekend. The Bears won 27-31 over the rap icon’s favorite NFL team. Lil Wayne did not hold back when it came to discussing how mad he was at his team for losing.

“We just loss a playoff game to a n***a w purple nails we fkn suk bear azz! Bare a**!!!” the rap icon wrote on X following Saturday’s game.

Ultimately,...
