ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Raiders will interview Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark for their general manager vacancy.

Newmark was hired as the Commanders’ assistant GM last season after spending the previous 26 seasons with the Lions in a number of capacities. The long-time NFL vet now has the Commanders within one game of the Super Bowl in his first season with the team, but also has close relationships with Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Both Johnson and Glenn are on the Raiders’ coaching search radar, but it’s Johnson who has been picking up significant steam in recent weeks. Newmark is scheduled to meet with the Raiders on Sunday, while Johnson is now free to meet with any team in person after the Lions were eliminated from postseason contention on Saturday night.
Eddie George

FA Head Coach

FOX’s Jay Glazer reports the Bears will interview Tennessee State coach Eddie George for their head-coaching vacancy on Sunday.

Ummm. What? 51-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner George hasn’t so much as been on an NFL sideline since 2004, when he handled 141 touches for the Cowboys. He began his coaching career in 2021 at FCS Tennessee State. He went 15-18 his first three seasons before making the 24-team FCS playoffs this year. He was eliminated in the first round. George must still be well regarded in NFL circles, but the game has undergone several different transformations since he last played, while four years in the championship subdivision isn’t exactly the best coaching primer for the big leagues. The Bears are trying to conduct an “unorthodox” coaching search, but at this point, it’s just getting kooky. This isn’t productive. We wouldn’t be feeling reassured if we were Bears fans or players right now.
DeAndre Hopkins

KC Wide Receiver #8

DeAndre Hopkins was held without a catch on one target in the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Texans.

Stunningly, this was the first time in Hopkins’ pro career he was held without a catch. It may be stunning, but it’s not surprising after Hopkins’ usage dwindled down the stretch of the regular season. The 32-year-old’s legs seem to be gone. Nuk’s experience and sure hands could still prove an important factor in the AFC Championship Game, but statistical expectations need to be minimized.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 7-of-8 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Texans.

Like clockwork, 35-year-old Kelce woke up for his best game of the year as soon as the calendar turned to “playoffs.” His 117 yards were a new season high, and broke his tie with Jerry Rice for the most 100-yard performances in playoff history (Kelce now has nine). Despite the stuffed stat sheet, Kelce is visibly not the same player he was in his prime. He looked a bit like Russell Wilson in the open field this afternoon. He’s just so savvy at finding the soft spots in the defense. He will be an AFC Championship Game X-factor regardless of opponent.
Jeff Ulbrich

ATL Defensive Coordinator

Falcons hired ex-Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator.

A helpless observer to the Jets’ slow-burn 2024 fiasco after they scapegoated Robert Saleh, Ulbrich is short on actual coordinating experience, but he profiles as a trusted lieutenant for Raheem Morris. Ulbrich worked alongside Morris for five years in Atlanta under Dan Quinn. He’s a stabilizing hire, not someone who is being brought in to shake things up. We assume Morris will mostly function as his own boss.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 16-of-25 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ 23-14, Divisional Round win over the Texans.

And with that, the Chiefs have now made the AFC title tilt all seven years Mahomes has been starter. Stupefying. As was the case all season, it wasn’t necessarily a “convincing” win. It was also never really in doubt. Regardless of who wins Baltimore/Buffalo’s heavyweight fight Sunday, the talk all week will focus on the Chiefs’ supposed vulnerability. It’s just that, the next time we see it this season will be the first. Giddy up for what should be another classic.
Joe Mixon

HOU Running Back #28

Texans RB Joe Mixon and WR Robert Woods are active for the Divisional Round against the Chiefs.

Both players came into the weekend listed as questionable, with Mixon downgraded throughout the week with an ankle injury and Woods missing all three practices with a hip injury. Also active for the Texans is linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. Inactive for the Texans are RB J.J. Taylor, LB Devin White ,DE Jerry Hughes, G/C Kendrick Green, G Nick Broeker, and DT Kurt Hinish.
Josh Allen

BUF Quarterback #17

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bills could adjust Josh Allen’s contract in the offseason.

Allen has four years left on his deal, which is a front-loaded contract. Rapoport said he “would not be surprised at all” if the Bills gave Allen an adjusted deal that would offer him more money sooner after the Bills’ QB1 played at an MVP caliber level, again, this season. Allen has the Bills within one game of playing for the AFC Championship next week, and was one of four quarterbacks to total 40-plus touchdowns this season.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Zay Flowers (knee) is not expected to play in the AFC Divisional Round against the Bills.

Rapoport reports Flowers had a “promising” workout with the team on Friday, which could put him on track to return in the AFC Championship Game should the Ravens beat the Bills on Sunday. Flowers is officially doubtful heading into the game, and has been trending on the wrong side of playing after missing an entire week of practice.
Matt Eberflus

FA Head Coach

The Falcons interviewed former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

It was reported last week by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that the Bengals had an interest in the former Bears head coach, but the Falcons became the first team to officially have an interview with him after they shared the news via their social media accounts. Eberflus went 14-32 during his time as the Bears’ head coach, but he rose to prominence as a respected defensive coordinator with the Colts from 2018-2021. Eberflus’ defense ranked in the top 10 in fewest points allowed in three of his four seasons with the team, and ranked 12th in EPA per play over that span. Despite the Bears’ struggled in 2024, Eberflus’ defense also ranked 13th in points allowed and finished 13th in EPA per play. Eberflus could also see growing demand as teams begin to fill their head coaching vacancies in the coming days/weeks.
