Greg Cote: NFL playoffs and rooting interest: Misery Index ranks all 14 teams and results may shock.
MIAMI — Just checked the statutes to make sure nothing had been codified in the past couple of weeks and could find nothing at all. So let’s make it official, and legal: You are not required by law to root for the Buffalo Bills in these NFL playoffs solely because one of their players suffered a serious recent medical scare on the field. We tread carefully here through the gravity of this. ...
CHICAGO — It’s clear TCU was not remotely in the same area code as Georgia in the Horned Frogs’ 65-7 loss Monday in the College Football Playoff national championship game at SoFi Stadium. The matchup between the SEC champion and Big 12 runner-up turned out to be even grislier than most experts predicted. Cinderella stories in sports are cool. But when the biggest game of the year is decided ...
These are strange times in the NFC playoffs. Aaron Rodgers isn’t here. The defending champs aren’t, either. The Seahawks are, but Russell Wilson isn’t. Win or lose, Seattle will emerge from the playoffs with the fifth overall pick in the draft. Tom Brady is a home underdog to a team coached by Mike McCarthy. Matthew Stafford would have had a better shot at the postseason if he’d stayed in ...
NEW YORK — After a turbulent season, the Jets will have a new offensive coordinator next season. The Jets and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur parted ways Wednesday, according to a source. Earlier in the day, a report said LaFleur had been fired, but it was said to be inaccurate, according to a source at the time. The reports of LaFleur’s status led teams to inquire about his services for ...

BALTIMORE — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was absent from practice again Wednesday, dampening hopes that he might return to start the team’s playoff opener Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

TAMPA, Fla. — On its surface, Mike Evans’ sound bite came off as a slight. The Texas native, however, wasn’t so much tossing shade at the Cowboys’ scheme as he was lofting praise at their overall talent. “They’re a team that’s simple,” the four-time Pro Bowler and Texas native said Wednesday. “They’re a good team, but they’re simple.” Statistics seem to corroborate Evans’ assertion that the ...

Coaching changes paid off in a big way for several NFL teams this season.
MIAMI — Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled out for Sunday’s wild-card round game against the Bills in Buffalo, coach Mike McDaniel announced Wednesday, as he hasn’t been cleared by doctors to resume on-field football activities. McDaniel said the team is preparing as if rookie Skylar Thompson will start, while backup Teddy Bridgewater continues to heal from a dislocated pinkie ...
Bills S Damar Hamlin released from Buffalo hospital
Fortune favored the ethical on Sunday. Instead of listening to this columnist and treating Week 18 like a bye week, deliberately falling to the No. 3 seed as to avoid a possible matchup with Aaron Rodgers, the 49ers played Sunday’s regular-season finale with the clear intention of winning. They did, easily, earning the NFC’s No. 2 seed in the process. Their reward: home-field advantage in the ...
John Romano: The odds say it ain’t happening, but here are 10 reasons the Bucs will beat the Cowboys
TAMPA, Fla. — The running game disappeared back in September. The deep pass soon followed. Somewhere in October, the takeaways vanished on defense. And then the sacks started to dry up, too. By the time the Bucs finished the 17-game regular season with a losing record on Sunday, Tampa Bay fans were left clinging to the one commodity that has survived against all odds: The hope that next week ...
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Quarterback Max Duggan approached tight end Jared Wiley as TCU players removed their nameplates from the locker stalls to keep as a memento. “I love you, man,” Duggan said as they shared a quick embrace. This was the end. This was the last day of summer camp. The last day of college. Save for the gory finale, it was all organically perfect, memorable, and so much fun. ...
LOS ANGELES — The moving and shaking that will be a constant with Georgia’s roster over the next couple of weeks has begun.

Undecided Rams coach Sean McVay permits staff to interview
NEW YORK — Geno Smith was the Jets’ starting quarterback for all 16 games of his rookie season. He threw 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. He was sacked 43 times and completed a pedestrian 55% of his passes. With a QBR of 41, a quarterback rating of 66.5 and an even 8-8 record, the team’s second-round draft pick in 2013 had done very little in his first year to prove to the Jets that he ...
