BRONCOS COMPLAINING: The Broncos are complaining about Gronk already. Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall got a jump start on the trash talk ahead of Sunday's game, complaining that the Patriots tight end doesn't get as much scrutiny from the refs as he should.
NO MORE BEAST MODE? Marshawn Lynch may have played his last game in a Seahawks uniform. At least that means he won't be CRACKING OPEN any more helmets.
BRADY-MANNING BOWL: No, Tom Brady hasn’t dominated Peyton Manning in the playoffs. Reality and perception are two different things when it comes to this clash of the titans. Besides, the Broncos ride their defense, not Manning nowadays.
SACK YOURSELF: Manning planned his self-sack, but he's still embarrassed. Veteran savvy.
AIR BALLS: The NFL could release PSI information from 2015 before the Super Bowl. Good news, DeflateGate truthers!
HARRIS HURTING: Broncos CB Chris Harris may be limited vs. the Patriots. Denver’s most versatile cornerback may be limited for the AFC Championship.
EVEN MORE RELOCATION TALK: Which location is best for the Chargers? Dean Spanos has been in conversations with Stan Kroenke about moving into the Inglewood stadium, but it’s not a done deal yet. So...
PLEASANTLY PLUMP EDDIE LACY: Mike McCarthy calls out Eddie Lacy over weight issues. If Lacy doesn’t live a little healthier this offseason, he’s not going to be playing much in the fall.
CARDINALS OVER THE HUMP: Bruce Arians is wiping Carson Palmer’s back. More specifically, they’re wiping the monkeys off each other’s back.
HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THE PANTHERS: Mixed emotions from Carolina’s playoff win. How are Panthers fans supposed to feel after their team’s near-epic collapse in beating the Seahawks in the playoffs?
EAGLES HIRE PEDERSON: Philadelphia Eagles officially hire Doug Pederson as head coach. The Eagles also hired an offensive coordinator and are expected to hire their defensive coordinator as well.
WHOOPS: Packers rejected rule change that would have given them the ball in OT. Only three teams voted for a 2015 proposal that would guarantee both teams a possession in overtime, but the Packers weren't one.
FACEBOOK FUN WITH TOUCHDOWN TOM: Not even Tom Brady’s teammates are safe from his Facebook jokes.
NO MORE HOVERBOARDS: Ron Rivera banned hoverboards in the Panthers locker room after watching them blow up on YouTube.
JOB INTERVIEWS: What it’s like to interview to be an NFL head coach. You think your job search process sucks, take a look at what these guys have to go through.
MMBM TAKES ON THE CHEATERS: Can Tom Brady beat Peyton Manning for the first time without having to cheat? PFT Commenter has HOT TAKES about the Brady-Manning bowl, Cam Newton and other gritty things.
WEAK SPOTS: How do you beat New England, Pittsburgh, Carolina and Arizona? All of these teams lost at least once in December, exposing a weak spot for opponents to attack.
