Coming off his worst-played game in the playoffs, CJ Stroud couldn’t possibly have a worse game the following week, right? He surely did.
The Houston Texans quarterback threw four first-half interceptions, including one returned for a pick-six. Through one-plus quarter of play, Stroud was at one point 10 of 24 for 124 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.
He did not turn the ball over in the second half, but the damage was already done. What he didn’t do, however, was play well enough in the second half to lead Houston to a win.
Stroud’s struggles with accuracy continued....
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was hoping to playing fellow 2024 NFL Draft prospect Bo Nix and is 'heartbroken' over the Broncos QB's injury.
The Denver Broncos pulled out a dramatic victory in their divisional playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. The Broncos were forced to go to overtime before they emerged with a 33-30 triumph that allowed them to advance to the AFC Championship Game.
While the Broncos were able to move on, they paid a big price as starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle and will require surgery. That means his season has come to an end. When they host the AFC title game against the New England Patriots, relatively untested Jarrett Stidham will be under center...

The Houston Texans have reached the Divisional Round of the playoffs for a seventh time in franchise history, and for a third straight season. For a third straight season, and seventh time overall, the team lost in the Divisional Round. It was a complete disaster for the Texans against the Patriots, as they lost 28-16. As their 2025-26 campaign has come to an end, there is plenty of blame to go around for the loss.
The Texans had their chances to win this game. After giving up a touchdown to the Patriots on their second drive of the game, Houston...

Fans didn’t hold back on DeMeco Ryans following his decision to punt in the final minutes of the Houston Texans’ matchup against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon.
The Texans trailed 28-16 with five minutes remaining in the game. Houston had a chance to cut it to a one-score game, but New England stopped them in their tracks. On fourth down, Ryans chose to punt the ball away instead of taking the risk to convert it for a first down and keep the drive alive.
It didn’t take long for fans to criticize Ryans for the decision, understanding it...

The New England Patriots will travel to Denver to face the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday; however, one key player will not be playing.
Broncos quarterback Box Nix suffered a season-ending break in his ankle during Denver’s 33-30 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. The Broncos selected Nix in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the same year the Patriots picked Drake Maye. Maye commented on not being able to face Nix in their upcoming matchup.
“Heartbreaking for the player he is, the guy he is. Praying for Bo,” Maye said on Sunday. “I...

On a snow-soaked Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium, the New England Patriots took another decisive step in their rapid turnaround, defeating the Houston Texans 28-16 to secure a spot in the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2018. But as the celebration unfolded, head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear the moment belonged to the entire organization — not him.
Following the Divisional Round victory, Vrabel struck a measured tone while addressing reporters, emphasizing the collective effort that powered New England through a chaotic, turnover-heavy contest.
“Well, I’m always excited for our organization, excited for the players. I...

Former NFL quarterback Nick Foles had some words of support for the Denver Broncos in the wake of Bo Nix’s season-ending injury. And he took the opportunity to troll the New England Patriots.
Nix is done for the playoffs, having fractured his ankle against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday night. Jarrett Stidham is set to start in his place.
Denver found out who their next opponents will be on Sunday. The Patriots beat the Houston Texans 28-16 in a historic five-interception game and will meet the Broncos in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
While Nix’s absence could prove difficult, Foles...
The Chicago Bears are receiving high praise from football fans for choosing Jim Cornelison to perform the National Anthem before Sunday’s Divisional Round Game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Hockey fans know Jim Cornelison very well as the performer of “The Star-Spangled Banner” for Chicago Blackhawks home games at the United Center. On Sunday, Cornelison was also brought in to sing the national anthem before the Bears-Rams game.
And he delivered a 10/10 masterpiece:

The New England Patriots are headed to the AFC Championship game behind the play of Drake Maye. He still had somebody else on his mind despite his happiness.
Just the day before, the Broncos’ thrilling overtime win in the AFC Division game against the Buffalo Bills was quickly overshadowed. Bo Nix fractured his ankle. The quarterback will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season.
That means the New England Patriots won’t see him next week in the AFC Championship Game.
Following the contest, Maye had encouraging words for Nix. ***“The news is heartbreaking for the player he is,...
The Chicago Bears have been the NFL’s comeback Kings this season. And their secret may be out.
The Bears are playing the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field this Sunday, with an appearance in the NFC Championship Game up for grabs.
Sean McVay is looking to best Ben Johnson following the latter’s win over Matt LaFleur last weekend. He admitted that there has been some conversation, and likely planning, as the Green Bay Packers head coach is a close friend.
Even so, LaFleur might not know what’s been working for the Bears this whole time.
Thanks to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington,...
