Marquise Brown Leads The Way In Win

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown racked up 109 yards off seven catches during the win over Tennessee on Sunday.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich wants quarterback Philip Rivers to be the team’s starting quarterback in 2021. “As I sit here right now, yes, I want Philip Rivers to be my starting quarterback next year,” Reich said. “… I think Philip still has a lot of good football (left).” The 39-year-old is set to be a free agent this offseason after bouncing back for

Ronald Jones II’s Status To Be Determined

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quadriceps) couldn’t get his leg loose before the wild-card win over the Washington Football Team on Saturday night, and swelling he sustained during pre-game warm-ups forced him to stay on the sidelines for the entire game.

Doug Pederson On Shaky Ground

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson’s status is on shaky ground and he could be out as the head coach if owner Jeffrey Lurie is not confident about Pederson’s vision for the team in their next meeting, according to sources.

Mitchell Trubisky Needs Long Playoff Run

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky isn’t guaranteed to return as the team’s starting quarterback in 2021, but that could change if he’s able to pull a big upset over the Saints in the wild-card round on Sunday.

Drew Brees Likely To Retire After Season

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is expected to retire after the season, according to people close to him.

Terry Fontenot A Finalist For Atlanta’s GM Opening

New Orleans Saints vice president/assistant general manager of pro personnel Terry Fontenot is one of “two or three finalists” for the Atlanta Falcons general manager job, according to league sources.
