After Saturday's 23-14 AFC divisional round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in which some penalty calls worked against the Texans, Houston defensive end Will Anderson Jr. said, "We knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game."
Matthew Stafford said after Sunday's season-ending loss that he hasn't made a decision about his future but noted that he was "playing some pretty good ball."
The Bills' defensive players used questions about how they would perform against Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry and the rest of the Baltimore offense to help fuel Sunday's win.
Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens did not blame Mark Andrews' dropped pass on a two-point conversion for the club's 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Sunday's AFC divisional round game, a contest in which the tight end also fumbled.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said the team's Super Bowl window remains open and that "we've got players in every pivotal position you can ask for to have success."
The Lions' defense suffered a staggering number of injuries during the 2024 season, up to and including in their loss to the Commanders on Saturday, and head coach Dan Campbell isn't sure there was anything they could have done about it.
A comment made in a press conference in Baltimore last week caught the attention of Bills head coach Sean McDermott and he referenced it while talking to reporters after Sunday's 27-25 win over the Ravens.
The end of every season leads to change, but some changes are more significant than others and the Lions are set for a couple of major departures in the near future.
The Lions spent Sunday cleaning out their lockers and reflecting on Saturday night's loss to the Commanders rather than preparing for the NFC Championship Game.
Running back Saquon Barkley's first regular season with the Eagles was one for the record books and he hasn't stopped making history in the postseason.
In the days leading into the divisional round of the playoffs, there was a lot of discussion about the Ravens' 35-10 win over the Bills early in the regular season.
Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a brutal fourth quarter in Sunday's loss to the Bills, losing a fumble and then dropping a game-tying two-point conversion attempt.
The 2025 NFL draft doesn't begin until April 24 in Green Bay, but the Tennessee Titans have clinched the first overall pick, with the Browns earning the second pick, the Giants picking third, the Patriots picking fourth and the Jaguars picking fifth.
