O'Brien, a former offensive coordinator for the Patriots, took on perhaps college football's toughest job in January 2012, joining a school rattled by the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Drew Brees can be patient behind a steady offensive line. The Eagles struggled to bring a pass rush on Kyle Orton many times on Sunday night, so look for the defensive line to try and correct that this week against New Orleans. Easier said than done of course.
Three seasons ago, Peyton Manning sat on the sidelines with an injury that many thought may end his career. The Indianapolis Colts drafted Andrew Luck out of Stanford and the rebuilding was about to begin. Little did anyone realize that the rebuilding would start immediately.
The Carolina Panthers had to win the last game of the season to get the NFC South title and a first-round bye so it's not like it was a time they could rest their players. Steve Smith had to sit out with an injury, and there were not a lot of other options for Cam Newton to rely on, but there need to be.
Seattle has already faced, and beaten, both the Saints and 49ers this season but not the Packers. Does the unknown help or hurt a team in the Playoffs?
With the post-season in front of them now, the San Diego Chargers are hoping to stick around for a while as the AFC playoffs kick off this coming weekend.
Last year, the 49ers made an improbable run to the Super Bowl, before falling one play short of reaching the ultimate team goal. They lost to the Baltimore Ravens, a more experienced team that rode momentum all the way to a Championship. This year it's San Francisco who fits this description and unlike last year, the Niners have everything in place to get past the rest of the NFC.
Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson thinks the Pro Bowl voters made a mistake by snubbing him for this year's game: "I should be playing in it."
The 26-year-old Tebow repeatedly stressed Tuesday he will continue training in hopes of returning to the NFL as a quarterback.
Rex Ryan may get an extension from the New York Jets. But it won't be of the long-term variety, according to Ian Rapoport and Kimberly Jones of the NFL Network.
The Green Bay Packers pulled off a huge win to make the playoffs, but now they have to face off with the San Francisco 49ers. They will have to work to prevent a repeat of what happened when these two met last season.
The 2013 season might be the best performance of Bill Belichick's coaching career.
Ed Reed is unsure what his football future holds. The veteran safety would like to keep playing, and for Rex Ryan and the Jets. Retirement can't be ruled out, either.
The Giants co-owner spoke Monday about the many shortcomings of the team, including the offensive line, but did not point the blame at coach Tom Coughlin or general manager Jerry Reese.
Some of the best American sporting events worth traveling for are the Daytona 500, the Masters Tournament, the Super Bowl the U.S. Open and the World Series.
Kevin Gilbride may have coached his last game as the Giants' offensive coordinator.
"I'm just a young guy in this business," the 67-year-old Coughlin said Monday during his season-ending press conference. "And everyone wants to know what's next for me. I hope it's coaching the New York Giants."
The postgame cheer from inside the Jets' locker room could be heard in the stadium hallways. The reason for the roar: New York was keeping its coach.
You again? It begins with the Colts hosting the Chiefs on Saturday. At night, in the only first-round game not involving teams that faced each other this season, New Orleans is at Philadelphia.
Nick Foles and Philadelphia's high-scoring offense needed a little help from the defense to make sure it was the same old sad ending for Dallas.
Jets owner Woody Johnson made a good decision. That's saying a lot for an organization that has made way too few of those over the years.
Tom Coughlin refused to discuss his future after Sunday's win over the Redskins, but players said they would be surprised if he did not return.
Following the Jets' 20-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins, Jets owner Woody Johnson announced that head coach Rex Ryan will return in 2014.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hurt his left ankle late in the first half against the Washington Redskins. He will not return.
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin refused to address questions about his future.
