The Tennessee Titans have sought a new head coach since firing Brian Callahan during the 2025 season. In recent weeks, they had reportedly narrowed their search to three people. Jeff Hafley ended up taking the Dolphins job, which left the field at two. On Monday night, Titans fans learned who won the race to be their next head coach.
The Titans are reportedly working to hire Robert Saleh as their new sideline boss, as reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. This is Saleh’s second shot as a head coach, having manned the New York Jets sideline from 2021 to 2024....

In the aftermath of the Chicago Bears’ tight 20-17 Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the frozen winds of Soldier Field reignited a long-simmering debate about the franchise’s future home. Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher didn’t hesitate to weigh in. He blasted the idea of the Bears abandoning outdoor football for an indoor stadium. Speaking on a national sports talk show, Urlacher was blunt.
“No one wants to go there in the winter. It’s cold as hell,” he said.

It’s often said that stars are made in the postseason, and the statement couldn’t be truer about Rams defensive back Cobie Durant. Durant was already a promising young star, transitioning from a Celebration Bowl-winning season at South Carolina State in 2021 to become one of only four HBCU players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. He’s constantly proved that he has All-Pro level talent, and his performance in the Rams’ overtime victory over the Bears proved that perfectly.
Cobie Durant just has a nose for the football in the playoffs.

The Ravens are planning to host Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady for a second head coaching interview this week, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Brady, 36, just completed his first interview with the Ravens on Sunday. He must have impressed the team’s decision-makers, as they are already seeking another meeting.
Baltimore may also be moving quickly to evaluate Brady before the Bills get too deep into their search process to replace Sean McDermott. Brady is an obvious candidate to become Buffalo’s next head coach given his familiarity with Josh Allen and role in building their offense.
That success is...

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears’ dream 2025 season is over. Their memorable campaign ended on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round. It was easily the best divisional round game of the four matchups.
Williams delivered a jaw-dropping throw late in the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bears’ three-touchdown comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers. He would have another one against the Rams. Williams almost rallied the Bears to another memorable win on Sunday night.
Caleb’s last throw in regulation was a backpedaling, fourth-down rainbow that landed in Cole Kmet’s hands. Soldier Field went nuts...

Sean McDermott penned a classy letter to the Buffalo Bills and their fans after he was unexpectedly handed his pink slip on Monday.
This morning, the Bills stunned everyone by firing Sean McDermott after a successful nine-year tenure as their head coach. The move came less than 48 hours after their heartbreaking loss to the Denver Broncos in overtime of the Divisional Round.
Multiple Bills players questioned the decision on social media. Veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said it was “so stupid.” Defensive lineman DaQuan Jones added that it didn’t “make sense.”

The heartbreak never seems to end for Chicago sports; perhaps this is the price they must pay for having the most dominant run in the NBA in recent memory, with the Chicago Bulls winning six titles in an eight-year span. With the Chicago Bears recently being eliminated from Super Bowl contention with a heartbreaking 20-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime on Sunday night, QB Caleb Williams visited the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center during their Monday night clash against the Winnipeg Jets.
Williams wasn’t alone, however. He pulled up to the game and was in attendance [alongside...

The final score said everything the San Francisco 49ers didn’t want to hear. A 41-6 playoff demolition at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks felt like a veritable verdict. This wasn’t a loss you explain away with injuries or bad bounces. It was a structural failure that exposed a clear offensive limitation against elite defenses. Now, if the 49ers want to avoid repeating the same January ending, the fix must be precise, affordable, and immediately impactful.
San Francisco’s 2025 campaign was a balancing act from the start. The 49ers finished 11-6. However, the record masked the...

Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores is thought to be a “serious contender” to succeed Mike Tomlin as the Steelers’ head coach, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post.
Flores, 44, was one of the first coaches to receive interest from the Steelers after Tomlin’s stunning departure. He is set to visit Pittsburgh this week for an in-person interview. That meeting will be a reconnection rather than an introduction, as Flores previously served as the Steelers’ senior defensive assistant and linebackers coach in 2022.
His familiarity with the franchise could be a strong factor in his candidacy. Flores arrived in...
