#Steelers great Ben Roethlisberger saying what we all think about Aaron Rodgers on his podcast: "I really believe that he's going to be a Steeler. However, the reason, in my opinion, that he hasn't signed yet ... I think Aaron is still holding out for Minnesota."

So the #Seahawks basically traded Geno Smith for Sam Darnold, a third-round pick and some likely cap savings. Suddenly the pivot from one mercurial QB to another doesn't seem so crazy, at least as one dart throw at the position.

In their last three NFC championship games (2024, 2022, 2017), the Eagles have outscored their opponents 124-37. Big-stage domination.

No matter how the Eagles' season ends, Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni deserve so much respect for not only reaching a second Super Bowl in three years, but reuniting/steadying a locker room to get there. Talent (i.e. Saquon!) helps. But the Birds have discipline and drive again.

Jalen Hurts may not always play the prettiest, but unlike plenty of top QBs, he’s rock-steady at job No. 1 (ball security) when it matters most. In six playoff games since 2022, he has one (1) turnover. Perfect? No. A tone-setter for the Eagles’ all-star lineup? Absolutely.

Asked Justin Jefferson about the defining characteristic of these Vikings: “We’re relentless.” Says there are “countless times” they could’ve folded, but their talent is used to “picking each other up.” In other words, a complete team. The 14-2 record backs it up.

A top attribute of the 2024 Eagles: They're finishers. It's a testament to their top additions: Saquon Barkley is a workhorse closer, and Vic Fangio's brought a discernible, old-school edge to the defense. If Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, etc. can hover in the background on win streaks, you've got "it."
