Ravens fans return kind gesture, donate thousands to Dalton Kincaid charity after crucial drop in Bills’ loss

Buffalo Bills fans rallied around Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews after his critical drop during the AFC divisional round ended the team’s hopes of reaching the Super Bowl. Now Baltimore fans are returning that support.

Last week, a GoFundMe campaign was created to support Andrews’ charity, Breakthrough T1D, which is aimed at supporting children with diabetes. The campaign raised over $140,000 through more than 4,000 donations.

Bills fans donated to the cause and shared messages on the campaign voicing their support for Andrews.

“Donated from Bills Mafia, we’ve been there. Keep your head up, you’re an amazing player and you caught so many to get your team to get close in this game. Move on and continue to do all your good works,” one message of support read.

But after the Bills’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid found himself in a similar situation.

On fourth down with the Bills trailing by three late in the fourth quarter, Josh Allen, who was under pressure by the Chiefs defense, threw a pass into the air. Kincaid was right there, but the pass fell through his hands, effectively ending Buffalo’s playoff run.

Likely facing similar criticism, Ravens fans saw the opportunity to return the favor.

“As many of you know, Bills TE Dalton Kincaid made a phenomenal attempt to catch Josh Allens last pass of the season but couldn’t haul it in, upsetting a lot of Bills fans,” a GoFundMe campaign created this week read.

Gisele Bündchen congratulated Eagles on Super Bowl LII win over Tom Brady, Alshon Jeffery says

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for their second Super Bowl win, and once again they are looking to do it against an all-time great quarterback.

Their first win, coming against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots seven years ago, was met with praise not only from fans, but also a famed opposing WAG.

Former Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey claimed that Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, ran into him after he helped defeat her husband’s team and congratulated him on the win.

“After all the interviews, the craziest part is I run into Gisele afterwards, and she said, ‘Congratulations.’ I’m like, ‘Oh shoot.’ I didn’t really know what to say so I just say, ‘Thank you!’” Jeffrey said during an interview on Johnny Manziel’s podcast “Glory Daze,” a production of Almost Friday Media.

Jeffrey’s recollection of his encounter with Bundchen is a stark contrast to the super model’s reaction after Brady’s previous Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants in February 2012.

After that game, paparazzi confronted Bundchen about Brady’s loss, and she responded with an infamous vulgar tirade in defense of her then-husband.

“My husband cannot f—ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” she said, referring to a costly drop by Wes Welker later in that game that help set up the Giants for a game-winning drive.

But she maintained a very different tone after the Eagles loss in 2018, according to Jeffrey.

Brady and Bundchen went on to get divorced in October 2022, after the quarterback came out of retirement to play one more NFL season.

Now, the current Eagles team is looking to hand a similar loss to Mahomes that the 2017 team did to Brady.

Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been one of her husband’s staunchest defenders after big games.

Brittany has also had to endure the process of handling a Super Bowl loss already, and wasn’t handing out congratulations to anyone.

After ESPN shared a screenshot that showed Patrick looking dejected in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LV loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in February 2021, she went on a social media tirade against the network.

“Cool ESPN, love the support of a major sports platform for one of the best players in the league.” she wrote while quote-tweeting the ESPN X (then known as Twitter) post, including corn emojis to suggest the network was being “corny.”

Later in the quarter, the X account for ESPN’s flagship program, SportsCenter, posted a different close-up shot of Patrick staring into space.

“Y’all are [trash emojis] for this too, but he looks damn good to me,” she wrote.

Brittany fired off a post on her Instagram account after the Chiefs’ 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. She re-shared an image of Bills fans hanging a Kermit the Frog doll dressed as her husband from a noose before the two teams met in Week 11.

“Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting… So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people,” she wrote in the post.

After the Chiefs’ win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, she fired off a social media post aimed at former NFL star Bart Scott’s prediction the team would miss the playoffs that season.

Super Bowl LIX jersey colors announced for Chiefs-Eagles rematch

One of the first big reveals for this year’s Super Bowl has been dropped.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have announced their jersey choices for this year’s game in New Orleans.

Just as they did for their Super Bowl matchup two seasons ago, the Chiefs will wear their white uniforms, while the Eagles will wear “midnight green” Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome.

The city of Philadelphia announced the Eagles’ jersey selection, which will feature the Super Bowl LXI patch, on social media.

Since the Caesars Superdome is the home of the New Orleans Saints, the Eagles are considered the home team as the NFC representative. So, the Eagles got to choose which jersey they want to wear first.

The Eagles are hoping for a different result in their green threads in this Super Bowl against the Chiefs after losing the 2023 Super Bowl 38-35 in Arizona, which began the Chiefs’ historic run for a possible three-peat.

Harrison Butker kicked a game-winning field goal after an infamous holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, who turned Juju Smith-Schuster’s shoulder, impeding him from catching a deep ball. The flag allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock before Butker iced the victory.

Teams that wear white have won 16 of the last 20 Super Bowls and 64% of all Super Bowls, according to CBS Sports.

The San Francisco 49ers were one of those four teams that wore white and lost after Mecole Hardman scored an overtime touchdown to seal back-to-back Super Bowl wins for Kansas City last season.

One of the biggest storylines in this Super Bowl is the Chiefs’ bid at a three-peat.

The last team in position for a three-peat was the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots, who fell in 2005 before even reaching the AFC championship. They lost to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round.

Tony Romo accuses Travis Kelce of flopping after key Chiefs TD in AFC title game

The dramatic AFC Championship between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills included two officiating storylines that were the talk of the NFL world during the game and one that was a bit more underappreciated.

Patrick Mahomes’ touchdown run in the second quarter saw a penalty come flying at the end of the play. Bills safety Damar Hamlin tried to tackle Mahomes before he reached the end zone but was unsuccessful.

Mahomes’ momentum carried him and Hamlin a few more yards before the quarterback was tackled. Travis Kelce came over and gave Hamlin a few extra words after the touchdown. It wasn’t clear what the tight end said.

Bills defensive lineman Jordan Phillips came over in defense of Hamlin and got into the Chiefs star’s grill. Kelce flailed backward and Phillips was called for a penalty.

Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback-turned-CBS broadcaster, noticed it and called Kelce out.

“Kelce knows how to get under your skin,” Romo said. “And Phillips comes in … [Kelce] tries for the flop.”

The controversial calls around the Chiefs have become a theme of their playoff run so far. Two questionable penalties were called on the Houston Texans in the Chiefs’ divisional round win, and Mahomes tried for a third when he flailed out of bounds after a run.

Mahomes admitted he went a little too far to try to draw a flag.

“I would say that the only one I felt like I probably did too much was the one on the sideline where I didn’t get a flag and the ref saw it and didn’t throw a flag, and I understood it immediately,” he said in a radio interview last week.

“But at the same time, the one that everybody’s talking about where I fell down, it’s like I was just trying to get out of the way of getting smoked by the defensive lineman running in.

“So, I’ll try to keep doing that and not take those hits because that’s the smart way to stay in the football game.”

Eagles fan, 18, on life support after falling from street light pole during celebration: report

A Philadelphia Eagles fan is reportedly fighting for his life after a tragedy while celebrating the Birds’ NFC title.

The fan, just 18 years old, fell from a light pole on the corner of 15th and Market streets in Philly, according to ABC 6 in Philly. City officials have urged fans not to climb the poles during their celebrations.

The man was transported to Jefferson Hospital after suffering brain trauma.

Several other fans were also spotted climbing poles throughout the city.

There were several scary incidents on Sunday night, including a shooting, stabbing and other assaults. Four people were arrested, and 31 citations were handed down. Three other people were injured after a woman crashed her car into a crowd of people, several hours after the game had ended.

The Eagles walloped the Washington Commanders, 55-23, thanks to seven rushing scores on the day. Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts each had a hat trick.

It’s the third time the Eagles will be playing for the Lombardi Trophy since 2018, splitting their first two appearances. Seven years ago, they defeated the New England Patriots, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII thanks to the magic of Nick Foles.

The Chiefs are looking to become the first team in NFL history to win the Lombardi Trophy three times in a row.

Tom Brady clears the air on feelings toward Super Bowl champ Nick Foles during Eagles NFC title win

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders in this past Sunday’s NFC Championship game to earn a spot in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner and FOX Sports broadcaster Tom Brady was in the broadcast booth at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles’ 55-23 victory.

At one point during the playoff game, television cameras panned to former Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles, who was sitting in one of the stadium’s suites.

Spotting Foles in the crowd prompted Brady, who suffered one of his three career Super Bowl defeats to the Foles-led Eagles, to recall the infamous loss.

While Brady has appeared in a record 10 Super Bowls, Foles and Eli Manning are the only starting quarterbacks to have knocked off the decorated former NFL star in the big game.

Brady used Foles’ NFC title game appearance as an opportunity to admit he does not harbor any jealousy toward the former Eagles signal caller. “Nick, I don’t hate you. I’m just jealous of you. You caught it, I didn’t,” Brady said after FOX Sports lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt jokingly asked Brady if he knew who Foles competed against in the Super Bowl in February 2018.

Brady’s “you caught it” comment referenced the famous “Philly Special” trick play during Super Bowl LII. Foles lined up in the backfield on the play, before offensive lineman Jason Kelce snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement.

The running back then pitched the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who found Foles in the end zone for a one-yard touchdown. Foles wrote his name in history books by becoming the first player in Super Bowl history to throw and catch a touchdown pass in the NFL’s annual championship game.

While Foles successfully hauled in the pass thrown his way during Super Bowl LII, Brady failed to catch a pass from one of his wide receivers later in that same game. Eagles fans have not let Brady forget about dropping what would have been a first down.

“I get reminded of that play every time I see an Eagles fan,” Brady said via SiriusXM in 2022.

“I sure as hell can’t catch anything, everyone’s seen that drop against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but I can throw it a little bit,” Brady joked in 2021 – his second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – during a postgame interview.

Brady won six Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots, before winning his seventh championship with the Buccaneers. In February 2023, Brady announced he was retiring “for good.”

Foles’ second stint with the Eagles ended after the 2018 season. He went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. He last appeared in an NFL game in 2022.

The Eagles drafted quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second round in 2020. Hurts helped the Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII, but suffered a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. This year’s big game, on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, will be a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago.

A victory over the Eagles would secure an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title for the Chiefs. But, if Philly is victorious, it would mark the franchise’s second Super Bowl championship.

Jets’ Aaron Glenn gives no-nonsense answer to Aaron Rodgers question: ‘Don’t waste your time’

Is Aaron Glenn built to coach the Jets? | Breakfast Ball

Aaron Glenn said in his introductory press conference as the head coach of the New York Jets that the Jets are “built for this”. Craig Carton disagrees, and discusses the tumultuous history of the Jets and why Glenn needs to shake things up.

Aaron Glenn, the New York Jets’ newest head coach, made crystal clear to reporters on Monday where he was in the process of figuring out whether Aaron Rodgers will be back in 2025.

Glenn was introduced as the Jets’ head coach and in his first media scrum with reporters the obvious question about Rodgers came up.

“If you are going to continue to ask me the same question, I’m gonna give you the same answer,” Glenn said. “We’re still in evaluation mode. So if anybody else is going to ask that, I’m going to give you the same answer. So don’t waste your time. We clear?”

He was then asked what he looks for in a quarterback and responded, “A winner.”

If it’s as simple as that, Rodgers would be a shoo-in to be back under center for the Jets. The one-time Super Bowl champion has won 153 games during the regular season. He battled through a tumultuous 2024 season to still throw for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns.

It’s obviously not going to be the only criteria that matters for the 41-year-old who will be 42 by next season’s end.

He talked about his NFL future following the team’s win over the Miami Dolphins.

“We’ll have the conversations in the next few days,” he said, via SNY. “Whatever happens out of there, I don’t know if anything will be definitive coming out of those. But I just need some time away to think about my future in the game, and my future here if they want me to be a part of the next phase or if they’re ready to move on. Either way, I’m thankful for my two years here.”

Falcons’ Jeff Ulbrich says lack of truth-telling, delegation led to failed stint as Jets interim head coach

Former New York Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich says a lack of truth-telling and his failure to delegate ultimately led to his failed stint as interim head coach and another disappointing season for the organization.

Speaking to the media at his introductory press conference as the Atlanta Falcons’ new defensive coordinator, Ulbrich was asked to reflect on his period with the Jets after taking over as head coach once Robert Saleh was fired just five games into the season.

“I learned even more than I knew the value of truth-tellers on your staff. I think sometimes as an assistant coach you take it as ‘I’m going to eliminate every problem from the head coach’s table so he can just thrive and do his thing.’ When in reality… there’s certain things that need to be told to the head coach that are occurring.”

Ulbrich seemed to suggest that the lack of honesty from his coaching staff during that period was a major contributing factor to the Jets’ failures.

“The lack of truth sometimes was really detrimental.”

Ulbrich also took accountability for his failure to delegate, specifically his defensive coordinator responsibilities.

“There is an element of a failure for myself in that way because I didn’t delegate. I didn’t. I just took it all on myself. In my mind’s eye, I was trying to create continuity and I didn’t want to fracture the staff.

JETS’ NEW COACH AARON GLENN DELIVERS FIERY MESSAGE TO NFL: ‘WE’RE BUILT FOR THIS S—‘

“I thought the best thing for me to do at that point in time was just try to keep everybody in the same role that they had just so we could keep things rolling. And it wasn’t the right thing to do. It wasn’t as I look back. I should have delegated. I should have given the defensive coordinator responsibilities to someone else.”

Ex-NFL star Julian Edelman makes bold Tom Brady Super Bowl LIX prediction

Former New England Patriots star Julian Edelman will be covering the Super Bowl as an analyst for FOX Sports when Super Bowl LIX takes place on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Edelman will also get to work alongside, in some capacity, with his former teammate Tom Brady, as the legendary quarterback will be on the call with Kevin Burkhardt when the Kansas City Chiefs look to make history against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game will put the finishing touches on Brady’s first full season as a broadcaster. He will get to put everything he has learned over the course of the season into a finished product with millions of viewers set to tune in to the FOX broadcast and the Tubi livestream of the game.

Edelman appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” and had high expectations for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

“I guarantee he’s probably going to be very fired up,” Edelman said. “He’s probably going to be imagining himself in those situations.

“I think it’s going to be a great performance by him because he’s gonna get to show us inside looks to things only he knows Patrick Mahomes is going through.”

Brady has reportedly been barred from meeting with teams ahead of the game, which is usually reserved for broadcasters to gather knowledge to help them through their calls, because of his minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

The former Patriots wide receiver said he believed Brady would be able to persevere without those meetings.
