Coming Out Party: Ravens O-Line Had ‘Signature Game’ Against Steelers, John Harbaugh Agrees. The Baltimore Ravens ran for 300 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers, then generously gave one back on a kneel-down. The 299 yards that go down in the record books are still embarrassing enough, of course. Not for the least of which reason being the Ravens entered this season with big questions on the offensive line. […]

Baker Mayfield and young core give Buccaneers reason for optimism despite disappointing finish. Baker Mayfield had a career year and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved their win total, won a fourth straight division title and made an NFC-best fifth consecutive playoff appearance. A disappointing 23-20 loss to the Washington Commanders in a wild-card game Sunday night left a bitter taste. The Buccaneers (10-8) fell short of that goal for the fourth straight season after Tom Brady arrived in 2020, led them to a Super Bowl title and raised the bar for the franchise.

Chargers could reunite Jim Harbaugh with Michigan star. The Los Angeles Chargers were unceremoniously bounced from the NFL playoffs this past weekend, so now, it's time to look to the offseason. While the Chargers have several needs, one hole is more glaring than the rest: weapons. Los Angeles is severely lacking in playmakers outside of wide receiver Ladd McConkey, so the Chargers are surely to try and address the issue in free agency and the draft. In assessing the Bolts' potential NFL Draft strategy, Dan Graziano of ESPN feels that Jim Harbaugh and Co. should bring in Michigan Wolverines tight end Colston Loveland, who Harbaugh coached to a national championship last year.

4 potential Aaron Rodgers replacements to clean up Jets' mess. The odds that the New York Jets ask starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers back for 2025 appear slim at best. With the 41-year-old Rodgers having yet even commit to playing a 21st NFL season, it's only right to start seriously exploring options at quarterback. Drafting the next franchise field general is certainly an option, but there are two issues for the Jets along those lines this year. First, the quarterback draft class isn't headlined by generational talents, and the top-two prospects will likely be unavailable by the time New York picks at No. 7 overall.

Jayden Reed not seriously hurt in Wild Card Round.
Jayden Reed says he won’t need surgery on his shoulder. “Thank God for that.” (Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz fun)
FF Today's Take: Reed figures to be a polarizing player in upcoming fantasy drafts. His star quickly ascended after going 64-793-8 as a rookie, but his usage dipped in a big way over the second half of this season as Green Bay became more of a run-heavy team. The primary reason why he could be a polarizing figure is because Christian Watson's knee injury will likely sideline him for most of the 2025 season, which should allow Reed more opportunities. Watson's absence alone may be enough to get Reed back into the high-end WR3 conversation.Source:

After adding veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins and bringing in a new coaching staff under Raheem Morris, the Atlanta Falcons were widely given the best odds to take the South crown this year. Instead, the Buccaneers improved their record by one win to 10-7 and won the South by two games over the Falcons (despite losing twice to Atlanta). The Buccaneers' playoff run was brief, as they lost to the Washington Commanders in the Wild Card round on Sunday night, but this year's squad was statistically better than the 2023 team in a number of ways, most notably when running the football.

Analyst delivers stern warning about Chargers' Ezekiel Elliott. The Los Angeles Chargers signed running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad just before the NFL playoffs, but Elliott never actually got a chance to participate in any live game action. Elliott's time with the Chargers may have been very short lived, as Los Angeles was eliminated from the Wild Card Round, and the former Dallas Cowboys star is slated to hit free agency. The 29-year-old is obviously a big name, but he isn't remotely close to the player he was during his peak years, and Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox has listed him among the free agents that teams should absolutely avoid this offseason.

Chris Perkins: Hopefully Dolphins' finesse offense will finally acquire power run game with attitude. I was floored when I heard Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel say he's not changing his offense in 2025. This is an offense that, above all else, targets tempestuous wide receiver Tyreek Hill. It's also an offense that was stopped cold last season when defenses decided to two things: use the two-high safety scheme to double team Hill on deep throws, and jam Hill at the line of scrimmage to disrupt the timing of short and intermediate throws. Instead of tweaking or changing the offense, McDaniel said they'll simply change how they attack defenses.

One Big, Painful Dolphins Lesson from Wild-Card Weekend. As we examine the NFL wild-card weekend and what lessons learned could apply to the Miami Dolphins, it would be easy to start with the idea that making headway in the AFC is going to be difficult as long as Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen continue to play at MVP levels. Or how having a dominant offensive line — hello, Philadelphia Eagles and, again, Bills — makes things so much easier on offense, particularly if you have the defensive front to match. Or how at this point there's not one QB from the draft class of 2020 (after the brutal performances by Justin Herbert and Jordan Love and the ho-hum outing by Jalen Hurts) who really stands out above the rest, except for Joe Burrow, whose team was so bad on defense this season that it wasted a performance that was on par with what Jackson and Allen did.

Coach Kyle Shanahan is an influencer on both sides of Monday night's first-round game in Arizona between Minnesota and the Los Angeles Rams. It was Shanahan who helped set up Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold to go from bust to potential big-money free agent. It's a huge game for Darnold, who could either wind up back in Minnesota with a mega deal after accepting $10 million to be a placeholder for first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy or sign a similarly big deal as a free agent.

Tampa Bay's loss on Sunday night was almost a microcosm of the team's problems across the season. The team wasn't disciplined — a miscue on a jet sweep by Baker Mayfield caused a turnover that led to a touchdown against the Commanders, center Graham Barton snapped a ball too early on 3rd & 1 to make the Buccaneers kick (some believed they should have gone for it there) and Tampa Bay had seven penalties accepted for 65 yards and more declined.

NFL Draft 2025: Latest 1st round mock projection for all 32 teams. Deshaun Watson is injured — maybe for all of next season — so the Cleveland Browns are far more likely to take a quarterback with the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. This is a huge problem for the New York Giants , who desperately need a new signal caller but hold the No. 3 pick in what's widely considered a two-quarterback draft. The Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 1 pick, will surely pick a quraterback too. So, will the Giants, led by a desperate general manager in Joe Schoen, reach on a QB in Round 1?
