ATLANTA (AP) — Bill Belichick made no demands for additional authority during his two interviews with Atlanta in the coach search that led to the hiring of Raheem Morris, according to Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Speaking for the first time on Friday about the search, Blank said Belichick did not request control of player personnel, as was widely speculated. Belichick had player personnel control in New England. Blank said he was impressed by the experience Morris, a former Atlanta assistant coach, gained with the Rams. “I would never, ever feel slighted ... for what people would feel about coach Belichick, right?”Blank was ill and did not attend Monday's news conference.

“America's Team.”The team that much of America loved, and perhaps just as much loved to hate. The title these days has fallen on the Kansas City Chiefs, who play the San Francisco 49ers next weekend in their fourth Super Bowl in five years. Just like so many versions of “America's Team," though, a certain amount of fatigue also is setting in. They can make it four next Sunday, when they play the 49ers in a Super Bowl trending to be the most expensive ticket in history. We’ve got an even bigger target on our back than we did last year,” Chiefs safety Justin Reid said.

HENDERSON, Nev.

Winning the Super Bowl would be another major step for either quarterback. Brady won his third of seven Super Bowl rings in his fourth season as a starter at age 27. There’s a reason why no team has repeated since Brady led New England to two Super Bowl victories in a row in the 2003-04 seasons.

(AP) — Even John Harbaugh isn't sure what to expect from Dalvin Cook this weekend. Harbaugh says the running back will be an option Saturday when the Ravens play their postseason opener against the Houston Texans. And Gus Edwards ran for 810 yards and 13 touchdowns for the Ravens during the regular season. The Ravens waived Melvin Gordon III and signed Cook from the practice squad to the active roster. I’m ready to give it all I have — everything I have in the tank,” Cook said.

☆ Psychedelics, darkness retreats and ‘Pat McAfee Show’: How Aaron Rodgers became a divisive figure – while barely playing
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-18 | by ( Ben Morse | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

“I do not believe at all that he’s divisive in the Jets locker room and within their own building. While on the field he’s on a Hall of Fame trajectory, some of Rodgers’ behavior away from the sport shows a different side to the man. As Rodgers ran onto the field, carrying an American flag and with AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ booming out, Jets fans went wild. Rodgers’ arrival in New York during the offseason had looked like a masterstroke, on and off the field for the Jets franchise. But after missing out on nearly the whole season through injury, Rodgers’ season-ending media conference last week ended with him stressing winning.

“Conditions right now in Orchard Park, where the game would have started moments ago,” she wrote early Sunday afternoon. Sub-zero wind chills will grip much of the country, plunging to 50 degrees below zero in Montana and the Dakotas.
