Cowboys defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku has kicked off the season by breaking the law. He was arrested on Sunday in Texas.

The standout DE was arrested on a reckless driving charge, per CBS News Texas. Collin County jail records show that the Department of Public Safety arrested Ezeiruaku. He was released the same day with a $500 bond.

“We are aware of the situation,” the Cowboys said in a statement.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel had his manhood grabbed by an opposing player during a play on Monday night.

The Texans are facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the last game of the Wild Card Round and had a slim advantage in the second quarter.

Noel, a third-round pick for the Texans last year, is getting his first playoff experience. But he might not be enjoying it all that much.

The wideout was attempting a catch in the first quarter, which ended up incomplete under some pressure.

The hardest part about losing early in the playoffs is the realization that you were close enough to taste something bigger. The Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t searching for answers anymore. They’re searching for margins. After a season that confirmed Trevor Lawrence’s ascent and Liam Coen’s offensive vision, Jacksonville’s 27-24 Wild Card loss to the Buffalo Bills didn’t expose flaws so much as it highlighted pressure points. The Jaguars don’t need a reset. Instead, they need one decisive, surgical move. The perfect offseason trade could do more to elevate this roster than any splashy free agent signing ever could.

Accelerating expectations -----------------------------...

DK Metcalf just got back from suspension, and Aaron Rodgers is already pissed at him.

Late in the first quarter, and after the Texans turned the ball over, the Steelers were looking to capitalize. The Steleers would end up having to punt on that promising drive. A replay of the drop showed that Rodgers was not pleased with Metcalf’s drop.

Let’s be honest, the Chicago Bears got a little lucky in their win over the Packers. But give Ben Johnson credit for keeping his team in the game despite the first-half deficit. And ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is a “Ben-leiver” as he dropped a Caleb Williams and Johnson Super Bowl guarantee.

Smith made the bold claim on First Take, according to a post on YouTube.

“It’s a different kind of mentality that Ben Johnson has instilled in Chicago,” Smith said. “And here’s what I will say to put a smile on your face. Don’t let Chicago get any semblance of...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to stay alive in the playoffs as they hosted the Houston Texans in the wild-card round at Acrisure Stadium on Monday.

Clearly, the outcome will have a significant impact on the field, but with all the drama surrounding coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, it could also largely affect the situation off the gridiron.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter, however, pointed out that Tomlin might return to Pittsburgh regardless of the result.

“Obviously, there’s been speculation that has followed Tomlin in any recent season. We heard Steelers fans chanting for his firing earlier this year. (But)...

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie outside linebacker Jack Sawyer and defensive lineman Yahya Black made an instant impact in their playoff debut on Monday night against the Houston Texans.

Late the first quarter, Sawyer came off the edge and stripped the ball from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. Black was right there to recover the loose ball.

The Texans tried to trick the Steelers with a flea-flicker but Sawyer was not fooled. Sawyer’s heads up play possibly saved a touchdown, as a Texans receiver was open downfield.

Sawyer came into Monday night’s game with two interceptions. He can now add a strip sack...

8:00pm: McDaniel has completed his interview with the Falcons, according to the team.

10:30am: An offensive coordinator gig could await Mike McDaniel by the time the hiring cycle comes to a close. There is strong interest for a second head coaching opportunity as well, however.

McDaniel is among the coaches who were fired last week. He has already arranged interviews with the Browns and Titans for their HC positions, and the list of suitors is growing. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Falcons and Ravens have reached out to McDaniel as well. Interviews with Atlanta and Baltimore will take...

Shortly after a Chris Boswell field goal in the first quarter that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 3-0 lead over the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card matchup at Acrisure Stadium, the Steelers defense struck with a big play of its own. On a 1st and 10 from the Pittsburgh 40-yard line, the Texans […]

The Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs for the second straight year after posting back-to-back seven-win seasons. Following the disappointing campaign, the Cowboys fired Matt Ebeflus after one season as the team’s defensive coordinator. Now Jerry Jones and company are on the hunt for a replacement.

Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is believed to be in the mix for Dallas’ defensive coordinator gig. The Cardinals fired Gannon after three subpar seasons. But despite his disappointing run in the desert, Gannon will interview for the Cowboys’ coordinator job on Tuesday, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Several teams have shown interest...

PITTSBURGH — Jaylen Reed’s night against the Pittsburgh Steelers might not have lasted long. The Houston Texans’ rookie safety and Penn State alum suffered a knee injury on the first series of Monday night’s Wild Card playoff game.

Reed is questionable to return for the rest of the night.

Reed was activated from the Texans’ injured reserve list ahead of the matchup and was expected to serve as starter Myles Bryant’s understudy. Reed, a sixth-round pick in last year’s NFL Draft, suffered a forearm injury last month, but worked back.

Reed had appeared in seven regular-season games, making one start....

The Buccaneers are set to interview Mike Kafka for their offensive coordinator vacancy, per FOX Sports’ Greg Auman.

Kafka, 38, has been the Giants’ offensive coordinator for the last four years. He was also named interim head coach after Brian Daboll was fired in November. Under Kafka, New York’s offense has never ranked higher than 13th in points or 15th in yards with bottom-five finishes in both categories in 2022 and 2023. He was working with a weak offensive roster, especially at quarterback, but at the same time, part of his task was developing that roster.

Kafka previously spent five...
