Which team does Tom Brady think is as "dangerous" as anyone? What do 49ers need to do to beat Eagles? Is it Super Bowl or bust for the Bills? Tom Brady previews Wild Card Weekend.

The New England Patriots authored a stunning turnaround in 2025, as they posted a 14-3 record that earned them the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoff picture. A big reason for the team’s success has been the play of second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels believes there’s a key secret to his success.

In his first full season as a starter, Maye has put together an MVP-caliber campaign, throwing for 4,394 yards and 31 touchdowns, while also rushing for 450 yards and another four scores. Maye has carved up opposing defenses on a regular basis, leaving...

The New England Patriots welcomed back Will Campbell right in time for the playoffs.

Campbell missed four games with a knee injury before returning in Week 18. The rookie offensive tackle played 45 snaps in Sunday’s 38-10 win over the Miami Dolphins, putting him on track to play in New England’s first-round postseason showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Campbell discussed his time away from the team with Alex Francisco on “Patriots Unfiltered.”

“It was terrible,” Campbell said. “The first time I ever missed games in my life, so watching from the sideline is not fun.”

However, the 22-year-old is...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have bought their ticket into the dance. For Aaron Rodgers, it’s anyone’s game. In a wide-open AFC with no clear favorite, Rodgers thinks Pittsburgh can do more than just win a game in the playoffs. “Clean the slate now. Anybody can make a run,” Rodgers said via 93.7 The Fan Thursday afternoon. […]

According to Albert Breer, the Falcons, Cardinals and Titans have requested permission to interview Packers DC Jeff Hafley.

These are the first three reported interviews for Hafley, who can’t meet with any teams until next week since Green Bay is playing in the wild card round.

Hafley interviewed for the Jets HC vacancy last offseason before they ultimately hired Aaron Glenn.

Hafley, 46, began his coaching career at WPI back in 2011. From there, he worked for Albany, Pittsburgh and Rutgers before taking his first NFL coaching job with the Buccaneers as their assistant defensive backs coach

Hafley had stints...

Saw this on the timeline:

He’s talking about the WIP Afternoon show, which posted a Wednesday clip in which Spike Eskin called Dumas “a guy who has decided that glazing Jalen (Hurts) is more important than Eagles Insider of the Year.“ The “Insider of the Year” thing is an unserious running bit, for context, but Spike I guess is suggesting that Dumas is being a fanboy instead of a journalist. In the retort, Dumas talks about how sneaker and fashion culture is important to black Eagles fans. It’s not for “them,” he says, “them” being white media and fans. Then...

Hours after the Dolphins bailed on a potential plan to give Mike McDaniel a fifth season as head coach, the experienced play-caller is drawing offensive coordinator interest.

The Lions reached out to McDaniel about their OC vacancy, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports. Detroit fired John Morton after one season. McDaniel figures to be a coveted commodity on the OC carousel, and it should not be deemed out of the question HC-needy teams express interest.

There will be competition for McDaniel’s services on the OC market, should he drop below the HC level during this cycle. A number of teams and prospective...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Lions have reached out to former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel regarding their OC opening.

Considering McDaniel was let go by Miami earlier today, it remains to be seen what his immediate future in the league looks like. He is expected to be among the top candidates for OC jobs and potentially even HC jobs.

Detroit parted ways with former OC John Morton after his first year in the role where HC Dan Campbell eventually took over playcalling duties by year’s end.

McDaniel, 42, started his coaching career in 2005 as an intern with the...

PITTSBURGH — When the Pittsburgh Steelers claimed Adam Thielen off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings and also inserted Marquez Valdes-Scantling into their lineup in early December, the team went on a three-game winning streak, beating the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions to knock on the doorstep of the postseason.

While the veteran receivers were a part of the on-field group that turned things around for the Steelers, they weren’t really a big part of the game plan. Over the three-game run, Thielen had six catches. MVS had five.

But after the Detroit game, DK Metcalf was suspended for...

Behind MVP candidate Drake Maye and Coach of the Year contender Mike Vrabel, the New England Patriots are favored to beat the Los Angeles Chargers in their AFC wild-card game on Sunday night.

Many, including Bill Belichick, believe that the Chargers are one of the weakest of the five other AFC wild-card competitors and it’s a good matchup for the Patriots to advance.

NFL.com’s editors made their wild-card round picks on Thursday, with four of the five taking New England at home.

Gennaro Filice picked Pro Bowl quarterback Justin Herbert to lead Los Angeles to an upset.

“Because New England...

While the Pittsburgh Steelers never had a losing record this year, there were several low points when outside noise about the team’s direction grew loud. Mike Tomlin’s job security came into the fan base’s crosshairs, as it often has in recent years, largely fueled by constant media speculation on the matter. Aaron Rodgers made sure […]
