Those original Tampa uniforms were so gaudy, I started to like them after a while because of it.  I was disappointed when the modern look came out, not because it was bad but because it was normal.

I’ll always like the Broncos old unis better.

Not every Florida team needs a uniform that loudly proclaims "FLORIDA", but there is just something so satisfying about the creamsicle Bucs and the teal Marlins uniforms that makes all of their other attempts seem lacking in comparison.

I also love the classic Broncos uniforms we saw today. They need to take that side profile horse logo out to pasture and shoot it.

Panthers sneak into the playoffs on the back of Atlanta's win

Truly the stupidest possible way to make the playoffs but whatever, at least I get to kinda care about football another week.

You get the excitement of knowing your QB will be back even though he’s maxxed out as a high-level backup.  I don’t say this as a dig.  I say it as a Bear fan with genuine perspective and empathy.

Collinsworth spends 30 minutes talking about how great Rodgers is and the offense has really come together because of all these night sessions with players.

3 points.  The Steelers have 3 points.

I'm rooting for the Ravens, not just to see Rodgers lose but, also, to disappoint his number one all time apologist and fan Collinsworth.

The pass defense for both the Ravens and Steelers has somehow been worse than the Bears in the 4th quarter

Unbelievable game between the Steelers and Ravens

[Wilson A2000]

Ravens missed an easy FG. Steelers make the playoffs.

Jets become the first NFL team to not get a single interception in the regular season.

This is one of the craziest stats in sports. It completely defies comprehension.

Alright so which of Carolina or Pittsburgh is going to win next week? Because everybody is going to throw Houston and LA in teasers, moneyline parlays and probably pick them against the spread, which means one of them is going to lose.

Carolina beat the Rams a few weeks ago.

This will be the first AFC title game without either Brady or Mahomes since 2010.

The last 5 AFC title games have featured Mahomes (5 times), Allen (2 times), Burrow (2 times) and Jackson (1 time). Only Allen is in the playoffs and he'll have to win 2 road games to get there.

Pittsburgh might.  Carolina has no chance.  I don't care if they beat the Rams a few weeks ago.

Per Biggs, the 11 QBs in the playoffs that have playoff experience have combined for 7 road playoff wins, and Rodgers has 5 if them. The rest are 2-21. That's freaking nuts.

And Mr. Love has 1 of the other 2 road victories.

Stafford is basically a hall of fame lock if he wins MVP and is way more deserving than Eli too.

And isn’t Rodgers still under .500 on the road?

Thought he was a lock prior to this season, I'm with you in that he's far more deserving than Eli.

He had a career losing record and 5 playoff wins. I don’t think he was a lock with Bulk stats, 3 pro bowls and 1 ring. Not first ballot at least. With an MVP and a deep playoff run he definitely is. If he was then the standards are garbage.

And there have been only 6 QB's to represent the AFC in the last 22 Super Bowls (Brady 8x, Mahomes 5x, Peyton 4x, Big Ben 3x, Burrow 1, Flacco 1), and none of them can do that this year.

Vinny Testaverde is a HOFer. If Testaverde is a HOF, Stafford is first ballot.

That’s because he’s played for a perennial playoff loser. If he was on another team he’d have a better record
