| Footballguys view: Mahomes is ready for the challenge in another AFC Championship Game. We'll see if the Chiefs offense has to light up the scoreboard against a Bills offense that can outscore anyone. Mahomes will be motivated to get to his third Super Bowl in a row. |

| Footballguys view: Kincaid is good to go for the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs. The Bills don't have to beat you through the air to win, but they can at the drop of a hat. Kincaid is a field-flipper for the team if they need to light it up with the passing game. |

Lions | Larry Foote likely to interview for Lions DC job Thu Jan 23, 02:54 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebackers coach Larry Foote is expected to interview with the Detroit Lions regarding their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to sources.

Eagles | Dallas Goedert a no-go again on Thursday? Thu Jan 23, 02:48 PM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (ankle) was at practice on Thursday, Jan. 23, but stood off to the side while the team stretched, according to Andrew DiCecco of Inside The Birds.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on this situation. The Eagles could use a guy like Goedert out there to take the pressure of QB Jalen Hurts. Washington can get middle pressure on a quarterback, and having Goedert out there would give Hurts a relief-valve target in the NFC Championship Game. Let's see if he can at least be limited on Friday. |

Browns | Kevin Stefanski taking back play-calling duties Thu Jan 23, 02:17 PM
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski announced his intention to reassume play-calling duties next season after relinquishing them to former offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey halfway through the 2024 season.
| Footballguys view: Stefanski made the announcement as he introduced Tommy Rees as the team's new offensive coordinator on Thursday, Jan. 23. The Browns are putting the power back in Stefanski's hands, and now we have to see who will be under center. With another Achilles' injury, Deshaun Watson may not be able to play in the 2025 season. The Browns are interested in a quarterback, and they may be considering someone like Cam Ward (Miami) or Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) with the no.2 overall pick. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford finished year with broken ribs Thu Jan 23, 11:42 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford (ribs) suffered four cracked ribs during the Week 15 win over the San Francisco 49ers but continued to play through the injury, his wife, Kelly, announced on her podcast. During the Divisional Round loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Stafford aggravated the injury.
| Footballguys view: Stafford is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL. He turns 37 years old later this year and may decide to play one more season. Stafford said he will "take some time to think about it" when asked about his playing future. |

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer completed the second day of his two-day second interview for the head-coaching vacancy with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Schottenheimer has never been a head coach in the NFL, but it now seems like he's the favorite to land the job. He's been average or below average as an OC during a few stops in the NFL (Rams 2012-2014), (Seahawks 2018-2020), (Jaguars 2021). With the Cowboys under former HC Mike McCarthy, Schottenheimer did not call plays so he'd get to do that if he gets the job. |
Bills | Amari Cooper not worried about workload Thu Jan 23, 02:22 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper said that he is not bothered by his reduced workload in the offense recently and that winning is more important to him.
| Footballguys view: Cooper is with the Bills to chase a ring. The team doesn't need to live through the air, but QB Josh Allen can light you up at any time. If and when that needs to happen, Cooper is going to get the ball more often. |
