Houston Texans fans were throwing hands on Sunday, while their quarterback was throwing interceptions.

The mood is pretty subdued in H-Town following the team’s loss to the New England Patriots. The fact that the game was there for the taking probably makes the defeat sting even more.

While the Texans’ defensive unit gave up three touchdowns, they created plenty of opportunities for C.J. Stroud. They got him several possessions with excellent work, but he kept giving the ball right back.

While fans probably didn’t show up to work on Monday with that extra spring, some of them were hyped during...

The Buffalo Bills will owe Sean McDermott a pretty penny after firing him in a stunning move on Monday morning.

Less than 48 hours after their heartbreaking loss to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round, the Bills fired Sean McDermott after a nine-year tenure. That leaves the alarming amount of NFL head coaching vacancies at eight, with the New York Giants (John Harbaugh) and Atlanta Falcons (Kevin Stefanski) already filling theirs.

After McDermott was fired, it was reported that the Bills’ higher-ups decided a new voice was needed following a loss they believed was winnable in Denver. But shed...

We heard this past weekend that Daronte Jones was set for a second interview for the Cowboys defensive coordinator job. Now, a division rival has entered the fray. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Giants have requested permission to interview the Vikings passing game coordinator for their own defensive coordinator vacancy.

Izzy Nix, the wife of Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, is sharing the heartbreaking moment of her husband finding out the bad news. She shared a behind-the-scenes look at the aftermath of the news of the quarterback’s season-ending ankle injury.

Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle that will require surgery and end his season. Bo came down with the issue in the overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round on Saturday.

“I snuck this picture because I wanted to remember this moment forever,” Izzy wrote on her Instagram story.

“The joy, followed by the...

With Jeff Hafley nearing an agreement to become the Dolphins’ head coach, that leaves one fewer candidate for the Titans. Tennessee had lined up a second interview with Hafley, but the team will have to look elsewhere. It appears the Titans are zeroing in on Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who “sure feels like” the frontrunner for the job, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.

Nagy’s second interview with the Titans is scheduled for Tuesday. San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is holding his second interview with Tennessee today. Saleh’s clearly still in the running, but it looks as if...

Colts QB Daniel Jones could have gone home to rehab after his season ending injury, but stuck around the team to learn everything he could alongside HC Shane Steichen. For now, it seems as though Indianapolis could at least be considering running it back with Jones under center.

“He’s in every meeting,” Steichen said, via ESPN’s Stephen Holder. “He comes to every practice. He’s always around. Still in the QB meetings. Off days, he’s in the QB room, studying the tape, preparing, even though he’s not playing. Still going through everything. So, he’s still fully engaged.”

*“It’s not...

The Titans have identified Robert Saleh as a finalist for their head coaching vacancy, and they’re apparently not the only organization to move the 49ers DC to the second-round of their interview process. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Saleh is scheduled for an in-person interview with the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Saleh emerged as a target for Arizona’s head coaching gig earlier this month. He had his first interview with the Cardinals last Thursday. Since then, the 49ers have been eliminated from the postseason, including an ugly performance this past weekend...

The New York Giants have requested to interview Vikings passing game coordinator and DB coach Daronte Jones for their defensive coordinator position, according to Adam Schefter.

The Jets and Cowboys also requested an interview with Jones for their DC position. Jones drew interest from the Bears, Jaguars, and Saints as a coordinator last year.

Jones, 46, started as a graduate assistant at Lenoir-Rhyne in 2001 before working at Nicholls State and Bowie State.

He later was a graduate assistant at UCLA in 2010 before transitioning to the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes as a DB coach in 2011. From there...

The Cleveland Browns announced they’ve completed their second interview with DC Jim Schwartz for their head coaching vacancy.

Jeremy Fowler adds Cleveland will interview Ravens OC Todd Monken for a second time in person on Tuesday.

• Ravens OC Todd Monken (Interviewed)
• Browns OC Tommy Rees (Interviewed)
• Browns DC Jim Schwartz (Interviewed)
• Seahawks DC Aden Durde (Requested)

Buffalo Bills owner confirmed the firing of head coach Sean McDermott following reports of the latter’s termination on Monday.

McDermott received his marching orders after losing to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round, and Brian Daboll is thought to be among the favorites to take over.

Adam Schefter broke the news on Monday morning, and Pegula has since confirmed the insider’s report. However, his announcement began with a glaring typo.

The Bills owner said McDermott did “an admiral job of leading our football team” in the first sentence of his statement.

We take it he was going for “admirable.”...

The Ravens have conducted a wide-ranging first round of interviews in their search for a head coach. The list of candidates in their case is set to grow even further, however.

Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi is expected to interview with Baltimore, 9News’ Mike Klis reports. Rizzi spoke with the Giants earlier this month before New York ultimately hired John Harbaugh. Now, he is set to be among the options to replace Harbaugh as the Ravens’ head coach.
