A better question might be, who was the last 2-way lineman? Someone who played on the offensive line and either defensive line or linebacker. E.J. Holub of the Kansas City Chiefs comes to mind.

I'd like to see neutral-site conference championship games. Make them like bowl games in college football. You can have the first two rounds at home stadiums, but neutral-site games would level the playing field. Teams like KC (or Brady-era NE) would have a more difficult time. You'd get a bigger va...

Not such a crazy Packers fan, I guess. I'm crazy enough to think Bucs beat Philly... again. I'd be crazy to think a team who can't beat Chicago at home could go to Philly and win, and without the #1 receiver, too! I misjudged this Packers team in the offseason. I thought they'd be able to win this ...

Wild Card Round: Chargers 23, Texans 17 Steelers 16, Ravens 13 Bills 35, Broncos 10 Eagles 37, Packers 7 "Hogs" 31, Buccaneers 27 Rams 30, Vikings 27 No scores for the rest of the games, but I've got: Chiefs over Steelers Bills over Chargers Eagles over Rams Lions over "Hogs" Chi...

Here are some of my choices:

1990 Seahawks/Chiefs (Derrick Thomas 7 sacks, Dave Krieg Hail Mary)
1990 Giants/49ers (7-3 final)
1992 Bills/49ers "No Punt Game"
1986 Dolphins/Jets (51-45 game)
1989 Giants/Broncos (14-7 in the hardest-hitting game you'd ever see)

I knew I was forgetting one! Thank you!

With KC joining the 15-win club, I figured I'd go back and see the playoff results of other teams to win 15 games in a regular season, at least in the 16-game era (in the 1920s, teams could schedule different amounts of games). 1984: San Francisco 49ers (15-1) - Super Bowl XIX champions 1985: Chicag...

Greg Gumbel, longtime sportscaster died on December 27th, at the age of 78: https://www.foxnews.com/sports/longtime-sports-anchor-announcer-greg-gumbel-dies-78 This one hurts hard. He was my favorite announcer besides Summerall and Enberg. I'll never forget his Super Bowl XXXVIII call on the winnin...

What would have happened in the days of the NFL Championship Game if three teams had finished tied for the lead in the conference? We only had two-way ties and never a three-way tie. I wonder if they would have done the baseball thing - give one team a bye but force them to play the second tiebreake...

The longest game in NFL history came on Christmas Day in 1971, Dolphins/Chiefs. So, it's been around for a while. On Christmas Day 1995, Emmitt Smith got his record-breaking 25th touchdown against Arizona to clinch the #1 seed on the way to a Super Bowl victory. And in 2011, Aaron Rodgers set a Pack...
