The Pittsburgh Steelers had a Super Bowl-winning head coach in Mike Tomlin. But after 19 seasons on the job and zero playoff wins in the past nine seasons, he decided to resign last week.

Now the Steelers have the unenviable task of trying to replace a local coaching legend. A high standard has been set in Pittsburgh, and now it’s up to the next coach to clear it.

So it’s no surprise that the Steelers are working on trying to set up an interview with another former Super Bowl-winning head coach.

According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Steelers...

Robert Kraft certainly has no regrets over hiring Mike Vrabel to coach the New England Patriots.

Vrabel vastly transformed the franchise’s fortunes in his first season, leading New England to a 14-3 record after consecutive 4-13 seasons under Bill Belichick and Jerod Mayo. The Patriots will pursue their seventh Super Bowl title when they host the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round.

Kraft celebrated Vrabel’s success before the playoff matchup on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.”

“Think what our record was last year, and it’s reversed this year,” Kraft said. “He has grown and matured in a way — he...

The New England Patriots are on to the divisional round as they welcome the Houston Texans to Gillette Stadium with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line.

After getting by the Chargers in the wild card round, Drake Maye and the Patriots offense will be tested again with a top ranked Texans defense that New England coaches and players have said is the best unit they’ll face all season. Meanwhile, the Patriots defense will look to build off their performance last week by slowing down C.J. Stroud.

Follow along live from Gillette Stadium throughout Sunday.

The New York Giants have hired John Harbaugh as the team’s next head coach, and are expected to introduce him at a press conference on Tuesday, but the Giants didn’t make that move without first checking in on the status of former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.

According to a report by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Giants were one of several teams to check in with the Steelers about the availability of Tomlin immediately after he stepped down from the team on Tuesday.

Tomlin reiterated to the Giants that he is not interested in coaching in the...

Here are highlights from Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup between the Texans and Patriots!

Former NFL star Michael Strahan has come under fire for his comments regarding Myles Garrett.

The Cleveland Browns defensive end is the NFL’s new Sack King after breaking the previous record set by Strahan. T.J. Watt joined Strahan at 22.5 two decades after he set it, but Garret blew through it in Week 18, cutting it close.

Strahan, though, has refused to give up his throne. The New York Giants legend would note that he got to his during a 16-game season.

“I mean I hold the record for 16-game season, they hold the record for 17-game season,” he said...

The Buffalo Bills suffered an absolutely crushing defeat during the Divisional Round. Buffalo lost a nailbiter against Denver 33-30 in what should be remembered as an overtime classic. The entire team took the loss to heart, but perhaps nobody was more upset than Bills QB Josh Allen.

Former NFL head coach Steve Mariucci heaped praise on Allen, highlighting his leadership during Saturday’s postgame remarks.

“That clip showed leadership,” Mariucci said on Sunday via NFL GameDay. “What do I mean by that? He was emotional, he was distraught, he said that he let the team down. He didn’t choose to say...

With playoff football on the way, the New England Patriots are rounding into form. After already enjoying improved player availability last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, they now have all available hands on deck for their divisional round bout with the Houston Texans.

This means Khyiris Tonga returning from a three-game absence, Harold Landry being in despite carrying the questionable tag into the weekend, and Christian Gonzalez being full-go after starting the week in concussion protocol. All three will play major roles on Sunday, with Landry the biggest question mark after not practicing fully during the week and sitting...

A recent report suggested the Cardinals are likely to move on from quarterback Kyler Murray this offseason. As ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler notes, however, Arizona could retain Murray for at least one more year.

Now 29, Murray has not been able to recapture the form that led to consecutive original-ballot Pro Bowls in 2020 and 2021. That early success convinced the Cards to authorize a five-year, $230.5MM contract for the first overall pick of the 2019 draft, but the Murray/Kliff Kingsbury partnership veered off course soon after.

Murray did not play particularly well in 2022, and an ACL tear suffered...
