NFL divisional playoff winners and loser

NFL divisional playoff winners and loser

First, I would like to start things off here today by saying that I'm glad to see that the city of Cleveland is still standing. I wasn't sure how fans were going to respond to the fact that their team lost the craziest game of the weekend.That game gave us a wild fourth down call by Andy Reid, an illegal hit that didn't get called and a brutal injury to . It's a good thing that Browns-Chiefs gave us four quarters worth of a suspense, because we didn't really get any in the other three games that were played over the weekend.Actually, we did get some in New Orleans, but then threw it away with three interceptions. If he ends up Jim Kelly T Shirts retiring, his final game will be the equivalent of riding off into the sunset, but then falling off your horse.Alright, we've got a lot to cover today, including one official coaching hire and one coaching hire that's probably going to happen plus all the playoff stuff you could ever want, so let's get to the rundown. As always, here's your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . 1. Today's Show: Divisional round winners and losersIt's Monday, which can only mean one Kaiir Elam Jersey thing: I stayed up until 3 a.m. last night recording a podcast with Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson and this one was extra special, because not only did we podcast, but we also went live on YouTube, Periscope and Twitch during the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers-Saints game so everyone could witne s me melting down in real time over a bet I made on the (I parlayed the money line with the Saints money line and would have won $150 if the Saints won, but Drew Brees hates me).One thing we do every week is hand out our weekly winners and losers from Sunday's action. For our losers this week, Wilson gave it to one of the losing quarterbacks, Brinson went after one of the losing coaches and to no one's surprise, I gave it to Drew Brees. Ryan WilsonWinner: Browns fans.Yes, the Browns lost on Sunday, but Ryan Wilson still considers Browns fans a winner in his book and that's because they got to witne s a lot of things they've never witne sed before: Not only did the Browns earn their first playoff appearance since 2002 this year, but they also picked up their first playoff win since 1994 and their first playoff road win since 1969. They also had their first 10-win season since 2007 and their best regular season record (11-5) since 1994. That's a lot to cheer for in Cleveland. That's probably why they didn't burn the city down after the lo s. Loser: .Jackson finally won a playoff game so he doesn't have to worry about another offseason of people asking whether he can win a playoff game, but once again, he fell apart in a big game. The quarterback totaled under 200 yards and threw an interception before being knocked out of Josh Allen T Shirts the game with a concu sion in the second half. Will BrinsonWinner: Sean McDermott. When you lead your team to their first AFC title game since 1993, you get to be on the winner's list and that's exactly why Brinson has McDermott here. The former defensive coordinator helped put together a game plan that absolutely shut down the Ravens high-powered offense, holding them to just three points. Now he just needs to create an even better game-plan against the Chiefs.Loser: Kevin Stefanski.After a regular season where Stefanski was one of the best coaches in the , the Browns first-year coach had somewhat of a meltdown during the second half of his first playoff game (He didn't coach the team last week). Not only did he lose a timeout due to a bad challenge, but he also called for a punt late in the game even though the Browns hadn't stopped the Chiefs all game. With 4:19 left, the Browns punted the ball away and they never saw it again. John BreechWinner: Andy Reid and .There are 32 coaches in the NFL and I'm gue sing 31 of them would have punted over having their BACKUP quarterback run a play on fourth-and-inches from midfield with 1:17 left in the fourth quarter of a Jerry Hughes Jersey five-point game, but not Andy Reid. Reid made a huge gamble and that gamble paid off when Henne converted the first down with a pa s to . Henne did have one ugly interception, but otherwise, it was a phenomenal performance from a guy who had never thrown a playoff pa s in his 12-year career before Sunday.Loser:Drew Brees.In what might have been the final game of his NFL career, Brees basically gave the game away by throwing three interceptions. If Brees wasn't sure about retirement before Sunday, I'm gue sing his performance against he probably convinced him that it's definitely time to hang up his cleats for good. Not only did we list our winners and losers, but we also recapped every Taiwan Jones Jersey game from Sunday. If you want to listen -- and you definitely should -- . There's also a separate podcast in the feed covering Saturday night's games. 2. Patrick Mahomes injury updateIf I started a separate newsletter that only gave Patrick Mahomes injury updates, that thing would probably get 7 million subscribers this week and that's because all eyes are going to be on Mahomes as he recovers from his concu sion.Here's the latest news: According , the Chiefs have "a lot of confidence that he'll be able to go" against the . The reason for that is because the Chiefs believe Mahomes might have been "choked out" on the play (If you watch the replay, you'll notice he never actually hit his head). Since there was no direct head trauma, it seems the Chiefs are optimistic that he'll be able to play. That being said, Mahomes is in concu sion protocol and he'll have to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he's allowed to play.As noted by Cody Benjamin, here are the : The player rests until signs and symptoms return to baseline status, and undergoes neurological, cognitive, and balance testsThe player begins cardio exercise and/or stretching and balance training under the oversight of the team's medical staffThe player increases exercises and/or sport-specific activities and begins supervised strength trainingThe player continues training and resumes non-contact football activities (e.g. throwing, running, etc.)The player is cleared by the team physician for full contact and pa ses an independent neurological exam, then returns to practicePersonally, I do think Mahomes will play, but considering everything that has to happen before he can play, I'll be surprised if he's on the practice field before Friday, if he even practices at all this week.3. Most controversial play of the weekendIf you know a Browns fans or if you live within 600 miles of Cleveland, there's a good chance that there's only going Bruce Smith Jersey to be one play people will be talking about this morning and that's the fumble by at Kansas City's one-yard line that went out of the end zone to give the Chie
