Rams Bounce Brady and the Bucs From the Playoffs

Brady has done it all and literally gave his all after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were down 27-3. Brady rallied his team back to tie the game with 40 seconds left, only to see Mathew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams kick the winning field goal as time expired. Brady is now 45 and a season removed from his 7th Super Bowl. Now might be the best time to walk away as the Bucs will have some serious roster issues to address down the road.

Aaron Rodgers Last Dance In Green Bay?

Rodgers became the first quarterback to lose four times to a single opponent in the postseason. This was the first home loss by the Packers this season and it tied the fewest points scored by a Packers team at home. The Packers finished the season with the best record and the league’s MVP. With tension brewing between Rodgers and the Packers organization, it might be the best time for Rodgers to take his talents somewhere.

Changing Of The Guard

Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen hug

Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow put each other on notice, as well as the rest of the NFL. Mahomes is already a Super Bowl champion and is heading to his fourth straight AFC Championship game in his fourth season.
