Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady praised Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce after the duo broke his and longtime New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Rob Gronkowski’s record.

Mahomes and Kelce connected twice on touchdowns during the Chiefs’ 27-24 AFC Divisional Round win against the Buffalo Bills for their 15th and 16th playoff touchdowns as a duo, which tied, then surpassed the previous record held by Brady and Gronkowski.

“BEASTS. When you one up Gronk you’re doing something right,” Brady wrote on his X account in response to Bleacher Report‘s post announcing the record-breaking feat.

Brady and Gronkowski initially surpassed the previous record of 12 set by San Francisco 49ers legends Joe Montana and Jerry Rice during their Super Bowl LV against Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs.

Mahomes finished Sunday’s game with 215 yards on 17 of 23 passing, while Kelce recorded five receptions for 75 yards. The Chiefs eliminated the Bills from the playoffs for the third time since 2020 and clinched their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance with Sunday’s win.

In what is expected to be an epic rematch between two of the NFL’s top teams, the San Francisco 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. This will be the first time these two teams will meet since their last showdown in Super Bowl 54, where the Chiefs came out victorious with a comeback victory in the final quarter, securing their first championship in 50 years.

As the two sides prepare for their showdown in Sin City, the Chiefs will have the advantage of experience. They have already been crowned champions before, which should bode well for them in their quest to become a dynasty with two straight Super Bowl wins. On the other hand,  the 49ers will be eager to get their hands on the trophy after a 27-year dry spell since they last won their fifth Super Bowl in 1994.

The Chiefs booked their place in Super Bowl LVIII after beating the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship Game. The 49ers beat the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game, 34-31.

The Chiefs will be relying on their explosive offense to carry them to victory, while the 49ers’ strong defense and talented roster of skill players will be looking to make a statement. With so much at stake in this highly anticipated rematch of Super Bowl 54, a suspense-filled ending is almost inevitable.

Patrick Roy is the new coach of the New York Islanders, hired Saturday in a stunning mid-season change behind the bench that came with the firing of Lane Lambert.

Christian McCaffrey scored his second touchdown on a 6-yard run with  1:07 to play, and the San Francisco 49ers mounted their first second-half comeback of the season to beat the Green Bay Packers 24-21 in a divisional-round playoff game on Saturday night.

After spending all regular season as front-runners, the Niners (13-5) needed to come from behind for a change, and Brock Purdy and McCaffrey did just enough on the last drive to send San Francisco to its third straight NFC championship game.

Purdy went 6 for 7 for 47 yards on the decisive drive, converting a third down to Brandon Aiyuk and then a 17-yarder to Chris Conley.

McCaffrey finished it off with his run on third-and-short and the 49ers’ defense held on from there, with Dre Greenlaw intercepting Jordan Love for the second time to seal San Francisco’s fifth straight playoff win over Green Bay (10-9).

Hardee’s looks to elevate its chicken game with the introduction of new Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Wraps.

Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Wraps debut in three varieties, Ranch, Honey Mustard and Spicy.

The Ranch Tender Wrap features an all-white chicken hand dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded and fried to golden brown, paired with lettuce, shredded cheese and buttermilk ranch sauce, all served in a warm flour tortilla.

The Honey Mustard Tender Wrap consists of an all-white chicken tender, lettuce, shredded cheese and creamy honey mustard sauce, in a warm flour tortilla.

The Spicy Tender Wrap features a warm flour tortilla filled with a lightly breaded chicken tender, a special spicy blend seasoning, pickles, mayonnaise lettuce, and shredded cheese.

With snow covering the field and flurries swirling throughout Gillette Stadium, Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals to help the New York Jets (7-10) earn their first victory over the New England Patriots since an overtime win on Dec. 27, 2015.

Breece Hall rushed for 174 yards and a late touchdown and the Jets snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Patriots with a 17-3 win Sunday in what could have been Belichick’s final game with the franchise for which he hoisted six Lombardi trophies.

Bill Belichick says he put everything he had into this season and still enjoys coaching.

But following the end to his most tenuous season as an NFL coach, it remained very much unclear whether he’ll ever do it again for the Patriots.

“A disappointing year for all of us — players, coaches, staffers, the entire organization,” Belichick said through a scratchy voice after fighting a cold this week. 

“That’s all I have to say about that right now, because that’s all there is to talk about.”

The game was the Jets’ first win in New England since the 2010 AFC divisional playoff round. It was also New York’s first regular-season road win against the Patriots since 2008.

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to the playoffs, but their late-season swoon continued with a listless performance at MetLife Stadium losing to the New York Giants 27-10 in Week 18. 

The Giants jumped out to an early lead and then coasted as the Eagles ruled out injured players and pulled other regulars with an eye on next weekend’s playoff game in Tampa.

The Giants win moved them to 6-11 on the season. That matters for draft positioning, but more short-term attention will be paid to the Eagles’ side of things, who finish 11-6.

Saquon Barkley’s two first-half touchdown runs and a touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor to Darius Slayton helped the Giants into a 24-0 halftime lead. The Eagles, having already lost AJ Brown to injury, opted to give up on the possibility of a comeback as they rested key starters like quarterback Jalen Hurts and center Jason Kelce.

The Eagles — subsequently led by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota — finally got on the board with a field goal late in the third quarter, then cut the lead to 24-10 on a Mariota to Quez Watkins touchdown pass with 10 minutes remaining, but a Mason Crosby field goal on New York’s next drive with under four minutes to go made the game a three-possession gap once again to effectively ice it.

Another big game for Joe Flacco was another big night for the Cleveland Browns.

Joe Flacco threw for 309 yards with three touchdowns and a single interception Thursday in a 37-20 Cleveland win over the New York Jets. 

The win was the fourth straight for the Browns, who improved 4-1 with Flacco at quarterback. They improved to 11-5 to secure their spot in the postseason.

In a game that featured two of the top defenses in the league, the offenses exploded for 51 points in the first half. Both clubs put together quick opening-drive touchdowns, but it was the Browns that kept up a more prolific scoring pace.

Things did cool down in the second half as neither team was able to add to their total in the third quarter and managed just a field goal apiece in the fourth. 

Flacco finished his night 19 of 29, while Jets QB Trevor Siemian was 32 of 45 for 262 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

From here, the Browns will wrap up the regular season with a trip to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. As for the Jets, they’ll also finish the year on the road as they’ll take on the Patriots in New England.

The Giants (5-11) have now had remarkable upset bids fall short against a pair of playoff teams in a span of six days. They had a chance to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Christmas Day, but Taylor’s final heave into the end zone was intercepted.

For the second consecutive game, the New York Giants brought a playoff contender down to the wire with takeaways and clutch touchdowns. But just like they did six days ago in Philadelphia, they came up just short in a 26-25 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the penultimate week of the regular season.

After he took over for Tommy DeVito at halftime of Monday’s game against the Eagles, Tyrod Taylor got the starting nod at quarterback for Week 17. In his fourth start of the season, Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown with an interception late in the second quarter on a deep attempt to wide receiver Darius Slayton down the right sideline. Taylor was sacked six times.

Saquon Barkley, who moved into fourth place on the Giants’ all-time rushing list last week, ran 12 times for 39 yards on Sunday.

The Giants (5-11) wrap up their 99th season with a visit from the Philadelphia Eagles (11-5), who won the first leg of the season series, 33-25, on Christmas Day. The Rams (9-7) play at San Francisco in the  regular-season finale.
