I always wonder what holidays are like for pro football players. While much of corporate America shut its laptops for parts of these last two weeks, NFL teams were playing the most important games of the season. A New Year’s Eve celebration, hours after you clinch a playoff spot? Sounds like a lot of fun. Not so fun after getting eliminated. We had a little of both in a busy day yesterday: The No. 1s are set: ...

The Ravens won a huge AFC North matchup over the Bengals last night, 34-20, in a game that could reverberate beyond the final score or division standings.

We have a lot of ground to cover. Last night, quickly:  In the NFL, the Bills looked … fine. They are this year’s mystery team, a talented offense that likes to sputter at inopportune times paired with a defense that’s suffered too many injuries.

Despite allowing a listless Saints offense two touchdowns in the final period — and nearly a third — the Jaguars still come out of Thursday Night Football smelling wonderful. Partly because they were on the road and partly because we don’t really know what to do with the 3-4 Saints. We’ll let that fourth-quarter near-choke slide.  Records are what matter, and after a wild 31-24 win last night, the...
