Brent Grimes may or may not be getting another cake. He definitely has gotten a berth in the Pro Bowl. Grimes replaces Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib in the Pro Bowl.

Eight years ago, the Giants showed the world how to beat the Patriots: Get to Tom Brady, early, often, repeatedly. It’s easier said than done, since it requires defensive players with the ability to get to Brady before he can get rid of the ball quickly. But the Broncos did it, and did it well,…

Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t second-guessing himself over twice failing on fourth down in field goal range in the fourth quarter on Sunday.

Usually after a round of playoff games we can fill in a few more spots in the draft order. After last night, we really only know one more slot for sure.

If you're one of those Cavaliers fans rooting for a Kevin Love trade, you're going to be disappointed.

When the Pro Bowl teams were announced in December, the Titans had none. They now have two. With the Panthers making it to the game, the NFL needs a defensive tackle and a tight end, among others.

Crystal Palace could be without striker Connor Wickham after the 22-year-old was charged for a elbow to the face of the Spurs defender.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick had wanted the extra point to be made more difficult for years. In 2015, enough teams agreed with him to move it from a 19-yard kick to a 32-yarder.

Monday's collection of links.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, the 49ers have hired former Browns secondary coach Jeff Hafley for the same job there.

Brett Brown was not a happy man Sunday night.

There are plenty of free agent decisions coming for the Bills. Dolphins T Branden Albert made a strong comeback from his knee injury. Denver continues to be an unhappy place for the Patriots to play. Former Jets will be on both sides in the Super Bowl. Fixing the running game should be a Ravens priority…

Ted Ginn was good enough in 2013 to earn a chance at a payday, and he chased it all the way to Arizona. But the Cardinals were so unimpressed they cut him a year later. So when he returned to Carolina, a chance to show his former team he could change a game was something…
