Tampa Bay makes the playoffs with a losing record
AFC:

3 out of 4 NFC East teams are still in it. At least 1 will be moving on after next week.
That 49ers-Cowboys game should be good.

The Philadelphia Eagles locked up the National Football Conference (NFC) championship on Sunday, clinching a spot in the upcoming Super Bowl LVII — and someone at the Empire State Building thought that was cause for celebration.
The iconic tower was lit in green and white in honor of the Eagles, and an announcement via Twitter accompanied the lighting change: “Fly @Eagles Fly! We’re going Green and White in honor of the Eagles NFC Championship Victory.”
But for some New Yorkers, the pain of their Giants losing to the Eagles only a week earlier was a bit too fresh for such celebrations — and they took to Twitter to voice their complaints.
Jesuit priest James Martin commented, “#FlyEaglesFly! But I wouldn’t want to be the New Yorker responsible for this. They love their @Giants here! Yesterday, I walked into my neighborhood gym wearing my @Eagles hat, and the guy behind the desk said, ‘They are going to LOSE tomorrow! LOSE!’ Then he said hello.”
“I can’t wait to read the full oral history of this tweet,” MSNBC host Chris Hayes added.
Former U.S. Congressman — and gubernatorial candidate — Lee Zeldin (R-NY) weighed in as well, saying, “Please tell me this is because someone who controls the Empire State Building lost a tremendously stupid bet.”
“Excuse me. Did they move the Empire State Building to Philadelphia? This is just wrong,” ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan remarked.
New York City Councilman Justin Brannan proposed “A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to this never happening again.”
The New York City Sanitation Department added their thoughts, saying, “For anyone who finds this as treacherous, traitorous, and unforgivable as we do – just pretend it’s green and white for #NewYorksStrongest. We take out the trash every day … and next year, that’ll include the Eagles.”
“How are we going to explain this to all of the other buildings. They looked up to you,” @NYCBuildings added.

Brock Purdy has a "complete tear" of the UCL in his throwing elbow, according to NFL Network. That really sucks for him.
Yeah, it does.

Imagine going from "Mr Irrelevant" to stepping in halfway through the Niners season and having just an amazing season and making it all the way to one game before the Super Bowl only to suffer possibly a career ending injury on the first play of the game.
Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL. Again. Allegedly.
Hope he wins.

Well, it's finally official, Aaron Rogers to the Jets.

The name of the football team playing in Washington D.C. is once again under question.
A group called the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) is demanding the Washington Commanders change their name back to the Redskins, organizing support for the name reversal with a petition that has gained more than 90,000 signatures.
“We invite all Americans to stand up for the dignity of EVERY AMERICAN under assault in today’s increasingly nonsensical culture wars,” the petition says.
“This ‘LINE IN THE SAND’ moment reinforces undeniable history of the NATIVE AMERICAN assisting the FOUNDING OF AMERICA, with NATIVE AMERICAN principles used by the FOUNDING FATHERS in the US Constitution – and, EVERY AMERICAN’s right to the 1st and 14th Amendment and not to be targets of cancel culture or ESG.
“This is not a simple left or right issue for Americans; it reaches across the political spectrum dating back to our Founding Fathers.”
The letter was addressed to the Commanders’ leadership group, including new owners Josh Harris and Magic Johnson as well as head coach Ron Rivera.
“As the NFL franchise representing the nation’s capital, you have a distinct opportunity to recognize the history and value of the American Indian,” the letter continues.
NAGA, which is led by a board of Native Americans, is a “non-profit organization advocating for increased education about Native Americans, especially in public educational institutions, and greater recognition of Native American Heritage through the high profile venues of sports and other public platforms,” according to its website.
Disgraced former team owner Dan Snyder changed the organization’s name in 2020 after years of pressure, beginning the 2020 and 2021 seasons with the name “Washington Football Team” before opting for the Commanders moniker prior to the 2022 season.
According to ESPN, the team could be looking to change its name again following its sale to the ownership group led by Harris, largely in an effort to distance themselves from Synder’s disastrous tenure.
Looks like that Aaron Rogers season is over, he apparently tore his Achilles on the Jets 4th offensive snap of the night. They are awaiting an MRI for confirmation.
