NFL Divisional Playoff Matchups 

NFL Divisional Playoffs

Jaguars (9-8) @ Chiefs (14-3)
   4:30 PM est – NBC
 
Giants (10-7-1) @ Eagles (14-3)
    8:15 PM est – FOX
 
Sunday, January 22nd

Bengals (13-4) @ Bills (14-3)
    3:00 PM est – CBS

Cowboys (13-5) @ 49ers (13-4)
    6:30 PM est – FOX
 
The best weekend in sports is the final eight teams in the NFL divisional playoffs. This year we get great matchups again including teams, the Giants and Jaguars who are back in the postseason for the first time in years. Both play on Saturday on the road facing tough assignments with the Giants traveling to Philadelphia and the Jaguars in Kansas City to face the mighty Chiefs. Sunday features two classic matchups with the Cowboys playing at San Francisco in another in a long history between the two NFC rivals. The Bengals face the Bills in Buffalo with two of the best young passers in the game, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen in an expected shootout.

The winners will advance to the Conference Championship games on Jan. 29th with the winners meeting in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12th in Glendale, Arizona.

NFL Divisional Playoff Matchups – 1/21 and 1/22

Giants (10-7-1) @ Eagles (14-3)

Giants are peaking at the right time. They have had huge problems with Eagles in recent years and must continue their recent strong play behind a hot Danny Jones and tough Saquon Barkley. Their aggressive defense has been very opportunistic and will need to be at the top of their game vs the potent Eagles attack directed by QB Jalen Hurts. Eagle receivers Smith and Brown are a dangerous tandem that will test the GMens’ secondary which is finally healthy. Gmen continue to surprise as road warriors and find a way to beat their divisional rival.
   Giants 27 – Eagles 24

 
Jaguars (9-8) @ Chiefs (14-3)

The student meets the master in the Trevor Lawrence vs Patrick Mahomes confrontation. The Chiefs hold the #1 seat and well rested to take on the upstart Jaguars. Mahomes is magical and is dangerous in any situation. He will test the young Jax defense which must be composed early to create a game. Lawrence is a rare talent in his own right despite only completing his 2nd season. He will need a healthy guard Brandon Scherff to help neutralize sack artist DT Chris Jones.
  Chiefs 38 – Jaguars 21

 
Sunday, January 22nd

Bengals (13-4) @ Bills (14-3)

Great matchup with elite young passers Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and between divisional winners. Burrow looks to return to the SB, though will be under heavy pressure from an aggressive Bills defense. Buffalo HC Sean McDermott will pressure the weak injured Bengals line and harass Burrow coming out of the locker room. The Bills’ Allen has responded with huge postseason performances and looks to get their offense back on track after several unnerving weeks due to the serious Damar Hamlin injury.
Bill 31 – Bengals 24
 
Cowboys (13-5) @ 49ers (13-4)

   Long history of playoff games between these two NFC clubs, including the 49ers’ 23-17 postseason victory last January. 49ers’ offense has new leaders in rookie QB Brock Purdy and Pro Bowl runner Christian McCaffrey joining TE George Kittle and WR Deebo Samuel. Purdy is the Cinderella story of the year as ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ directing this potent attack like a seasoned veteran. 49ers defense ranks with any unit in the league and will pressure Boys’ QB Dak Prescott who is coming off his best performance of the year. That matchup may hold the key to the outcome here. Boys defense must step up and harass the rookie Purdy with defenders, Parson and Lawrence being key performers for any positive Dallas outcome.
49ers 27- Cowboys 17




Senior Bowl Announces 2023 New Coaching Staffs Format

Senior Bowl Announces 2023 Coaching Staffs
New ‘Coach Up’ Format Elevates Experience

Bears Offensive Coordinator Getsy and Raiders Defensive Coordinator Graham to Coach Senior Bowl Squads
Coaches from teams selecting Nos. 1 and 7 in 2023 NFL Draft to lead teams for top pre-draft All-Star event.

The Reese’s Senior Bowl today announced that Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy (American team) and Las Vegas Raiders Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham (National team) will serve as head coaches for the 74th annual Reese’s Senior Bowl to be played on Saturday February 4, 2023, at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama.  All three days of practice will be televised on both NFL Network and ESPN and the game itself will be aired live on the NFL Network at 1:30 CT.  The Bears have the top overall pick, and the Raiders own the No. 7 selection in the 2023 NFL draft.

Senior Bowl 2023 Invitations – https://www.seniorbowl.com/accepted-invites/

This year marks the first time in the Senior Bowl’s rich history that two full staffs from NFL clubs will not be coaching the game. Under a new arrangement to promote professional development, NFL Football Operations has implemented a “coach up” format where coordinators and assistant coaches are placed into elevated or different roles from the ones they currently hold with their respective clubs.  Head coaches and general managers from all non-playoff teams had the opportunity to nominate assistant coaches and those candidates were then selected by a group comprised of league office executives, representatives from the General Managers Advisory Committee, and Senior Bowl leadership.  In total, at least one coach from all 16 teams that submitted nominations were chosen and six clubs had multiple coaches appointed to this year’s American and National rosters (New Orleans Saints 4, Washington Commanders 4, Chicago Bears 4, Las Vegas Raiders 3, Cleveland Browns 2, and Pittsburgh Steelers 2).

In addition to the head coach appointees, the following individuals were selected as coordinators for the American and National squads:

American
Offensive Coordinator – Atlanta Falcons Quarterbacks Coach Charles London
Defensive Coordinator – New England Patriots Defensive Line Coach DeMarcus Covington

National
Offensive Coordinator – New Orleans Saints QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator Ronald Curry
Defensive Coordinator – Pittsburgh Steelers Defensive Backs Coach Grady Brown

The Reese’s Senior Bowl is coming off consecutive record-breaking drafts with 106 players selected each of the past two years, which has represented over 40 percent of the entire past two draft classes. Over the past four drafts (2019-2022), 87.2% of the players wound up making an active 53-man NFL roster at some point during their rookie season. Those four rosters have included many of the NFL’s brightest young stars, such as: QB Justin Herbert (Chargers), QB Daniel Jones (Giants), QB Mac Jones (Patriots), DS Jeremy Chinn (Panthers), WR Brandon Aiyuk (49ers), QB Jalen Hurts (Eagles), DB Kyle Dugger (Patriots), WR Terry McLaurin (Commanders), OL Chris Lindstrom (Falcons), WR Deebo Samuel (49ers), OL Elgton Jenkins (Packers), RB Tony Pollard (Cowboys), DL Montez Sweat (Commanders), LB Logan Wilson (Bengals), RB Najee Harris (Steelers), RB Rhamondre Stevenson (Patriots), WR Devonta Smith (Eagles), OL Creed Humphrey (Chiefs), RB Dameon Pierce (Texans), WR Christian Watson, OL Zion Johnson (Chargers), QB Kenny Pickett (Steelers), DS Jalen Pitre (Texans), and CB Tariq Woolen (Seahawks).

Statement from Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy:
“Everyone at the Senior Bowl is excited about this new coaching format since it connects our players to half the league’s teams behind the scenes during the week.  Both Luke Getsy and Patrick Graham have tremendous reputations around the league and the young men in our game will undoubtedly leave Mobile as better football players after spending the week with these excellent staffs.”
 
Statement from Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy:
“I am extremely honored to be selected as the head coach for the American Team in the 74th Senior Bowl.  It is a privilege to be able to work alongside my peers from around the league and to be able to lead this special group of men that are the future of the NFL.  Thank you to everyone at the Senior Bowl for this awesome opportunity and I look forward to a great week in Mobile.”

Statement from Las Vegas Raiders Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham:
“It is a true honor to be selected as head coach of the National Team for the Senior Bowl.  I look forward to meeting and working with these talented young players and getting to know them on an individual and collective basis during Senior Bowl festivities.  To be able to evaluate and cultivate relationships with these young men as they begin their professional journeys is an invaluable experience and I sincerely thank Jim Nagy and the Senior Bowl for this tremendous opportunity”.

Safety Damar Hamlin Improves Significantly – NFL Regular Season Final Weekend Schedule

Safety Damar Hamlin Improves Significantly

NFL Season Final Weekend Schedule

The NFL announced today that Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin, who has been hospitalized at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center since Monday, has had substantial improvement in his condition. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during Monday’s game which had huge impact on the players, coaches and fans who witnessed the traumatic collision. Though he still remains in critical condition, he has made improvement in 72 hours which is very encouraging. Currently, they have removed his breathing tube and continues to make amazing improvement. He has spoken to family and teammates and is addressing team via Facetime. The miracle continues to unfold with prayers for a return to full health from the nation and NFL community.

The Bills host AFC East rival, the Patriots Sunday afternoon this home field advantage through the conference playoffs at stake, along with the Patriots fighting for the final AFC playoff berth.

The NFL announced that the Week 17 Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals game will not be resumed and has been cancelled. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell informed all clubs of his decision on Thursday, after speaking with the Bills, the Bengals and NFL Players Association leadership.

“This has been a very difficult week,” Goodell said. “We continue to focus on the recovery of Damar Hamlin and are encouraged by the improvements in his condition as well as the tremendous outpouring of support and care for Damar and his family from across the country. We are also incredibly appreciative of the amazing work of the medical personnel and commend each and every one of them.”

Key factors in arriving at this decision:

Not playing the Buffalo-Cincinnati game to its conclusion will have no effect on which clubs qualify for the postseason. No club would qualify for the postseason and no club will be eliminated based on the outcome of this game.

The AFC Championship Game will be played at a neutral site if the participating teams played an unequal number of games and both could have been the number one seed and hosted the game had all AFC clubs played a full 17-game regular season. Those circumstances involve Buffalo or Cincinnati qualifying for the game as a road team and are listed below:

The NFL regular season closing weekend will determine the final three divisional winners with the Bengals/Ravens matchup for the AFC North title and the Titans/Jaguars deciding the AFC South winner key games.

The Eagles hold a one game lead over the Cowboys in the NFC East and host the Giants. A win and they clinch the divisional title. Three East teams, the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants are the only division with multiple clubs already in the postseason.  On Sunday night, the Packers-Lions matchup closes out the season with the winner qualifying for the final wild card spot. Both teams made strong pushes over the second half of the season to get to the .500 mark entering their final contest.
