When the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks clashed in Week 18 for the NFC’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, both teams expected they’d get a rubber match in the Divisional Round. That’s exactly what we’re getting this weekend, with a spot in the NFC Championship Game at stake.
Let’s dive into our 49ers vs Seahawks predictions for this Divisional Round matchup.
Back in Week 18, the 49ers’ offense managed to give Christian McCaffrey only 14 touches on 42 plays. The All-Pro running back finished with 57 scrimmage...
After the Ravens parted ways with former HC John Harbaugh following 18 seasons, he instantly became one of the best candidates available this coaching cycle.
The 63-year-old took the week to step back after being eliminated from postseason contention on Sunday, to without a job a few days later. Per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, Harbaugh is expected to put together his interview schedule soon for this week.
Jones also said the belief is Harbaugh’s top choices among the openings are the Giants and Falcons. The Titans are expected to be in third place, while there is “real and mutual interest”...

The San Francisco 49es went into Philadelphia as underdogs on Sunday and knocked off the defending champion Eagles with a 23-19 victory. Part of that victory was 29-yard touchdown pass thrown to running back Christian McCaffrey from wide receiver Jauan Jennings.
49ers pass catcher Jauan Jennings not only threw a touchdown pass in the 49ers’ win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but his lone 29-yard completion was actually longer than any pass completed by Eagles QB Jalen Hurts in the game (in terms of “air yards,” which measures how far a football travels in the air from the line of scrimmage...
The list of Ravens targets for their head coaching vacancy continues to grow. One of the staffers most closely connected to Baltimore has now received a slip.
Baltimore has requested an interview with Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. On Saturday, colleague Mike Garafolo named the Ravens as a team expected to submit a request (video link). As such, today’s update comes as no surprise.
In the wake of John Harbaugh‘s firing, many quickly pointed to Minter as a logical replacement candidate. The latter spent the first four years of...
Pro Football Rumors
There’s been a lot of chatter about the final play from Sunday’s loss.
Jalen Hurts threw into triple coverage for Dallas Goedert as the Eagles pulled “four verticals” out of their high school playbook, a failed attempt to move sticks on 4th and 11 with seven San Francisco players defending four Birds.
Here’s the play itself, and a log of what was called on the final drive:
There was much of the same throughout that entire drive. A lot of 2×2 in 11 personnel, predictable routes that we’ve seen all season long.
Here’s the rest of that tweet from Kevin...

Has Matt LaFleur coached his last game with the Packers, and could John Harbaugh be a potential candidate to replace him?
The New England Patriots snapped a seven-year drought when earning a 16-3 postseason win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Sunday’s victory put them closer to reclaiming an NFL record.
New England’s official communications account noted that the Patriots notched their 38th all-time playoff win. That moves them past the Green Bay Packers, who were eliminated Saturday, for sole possession of second place.
The Patriots trail the San Francisco 49ers by one win for first place. San Francisco added to its milestone with a Wild Card Round victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers also have a chance...

The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, 23-19. Their season and Super Bowl defense are over, and a massive offseason awaits them. After another spat with Nick Sirianni on the sideline, AJ Brown’s time with the Eagles could end in an offseason trade. These three teams should be calling with a bevy of draft picks ready to deal.
The Eagles traded a first-round pick and a third-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for Brown at the 2022 draft. In the subsequent four seasons, he has cracked 1,000 yards in each year and scored 32 touchdowns. None...

Brandon Graham’s sudden return to the team unfortunately ended in misery. The Philadelphia Eagles legend rejoined the team earlier this season after retiring during the offseason. However, their title defense season ended at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.
With their season now over, one of the questions on fans’ minds is what Graham will do. Graham only signed a one-year contract, so it’s fair to wonder if the Eagles legend will come back for revenge next season. Mike Garofolo’s report seems to indicate that [the pass rusher may have one more season in...

Ben Sauls didn’t do anything spectacular in three games as the New York Giants placekicker at the end of the 2025 season. He just did his job. Perfectly. And it turned him into a bit of a hero in the Giants’ fan base.
Here are a couple of examples:
Quarterback Jaxson Dart is a big fan, too.
“This guy’s incredible. He’s the best kicker I’ve ever seen in my life. This is my favorite guy on the whole team.”
Well, Jaxson, after what Giants fans have witnessed at placekicker the last three seasons they might agree with you.

The Rams managed to overcome a significant scare during their Wild Card victory over the Carolina Panthers, but the win came with a physical price for Matthew Stafford. Early in the contest, the veteran quarterback struck his throwing hand against a player’s helmet, causing immediate and obvious discomfort. Stafford later admitted that he “got a finger bent back” and noted that the sensation “wasn’t pleasant” at all.
Despite the injury and a brief struggle with his accuracy, the quarterback relied on a surge of adrenaline to stay in the game and eventually orchestrated a clutch final drive to secure the...
