Sunday’s win over the Vikings was monumental for the Giants and Isaiah Hodgins was a big factor. The 24-year-old wide receiver played a massive role in the game and did so on a bum ankle.
New York, which made the NFC Wild Card game at 9-7-1 in Brian Daboll’s first year as head coach, reached the NFL Playoffs just twice since 2008. It won the Super Bowl in 2011 with Eli Manning at quarterback and lost in the Wild Card in 2016 during Ben McAdoo’s first and only full year at the helm.
The Giants traveled to Minnesota to face the 13-4 Vikings and it was all buisness.

C.J. Stroud calls it a career at OSU.
This isn’t a surprising decision from the Ohio State quarterback. Most mock drafts have him as a lock for the top 10, and a lot of people think he’s probably a guaranteed top five pick.

The Baltimore quarterback is slated to become a free agent this offseason.
Lamar Jackson just might have hinted at his future with the Ravens when he posted on his Instagram story Monday morning.
In a reposted message on his story, meaning Jackson did not write the quote himself, it sounds as if he’s trying to tell the Ravens something regarding his expiring contract with the team.
“When you have something good, you don’t play with it,” the quote read. “You don’t take chances losing it. You don’t neglect it. When you have something good, you pour into it. You appreciate it.

The former Lynx star most recently played in the league in 2018.
Longtime WNBA star Maya Moore officially announced her retirement from the league on Monday morning.
The former Lynx star has kept the possibility of retirement open for the past few years. She last played in the league in 2018 and subsequently stepped away the following year to help her husband overturn his jail sentence. She later was named Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year in 2020 for her activism off the court.
The 33-year-old made her decision official on a Monday Good Morning America appearance.

Lamar Jackson did not show up to the Baltimore Raven’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals for the Super Wild Card Weekend, and fans are questioning whether his absence is truly due to injury, or if this is a play at getting the contract he wants from the franchise. Craig Carton isn’t buying that this is anything more than Lamar’s injury, but the discourse is fueling his hopes we’ll see the QB with the New York Jets next season.

And just as Craig Carton predicted, the New York Giants pulled off the upset in Wild Card Weekend, defeating the. Minnesota Vikings 31-24 and securing their first playoff win since SB XLVI. Daniel Jones was a big part of that win, completing 24 of his 35 passes, two of those being touchdowns. Craig Carton talks the highlights of the game, and decides how much of this loss was on Kirk Cousins and the Vikings.

The return of the Pro Bowl center comes at a pivotal time for Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers have activated Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen from injured reserve ahead of the team’s wild-card matchup against the Cowboys on Monday night.
Jensen injured his knee on the second day of training camp and was placed on injured reserve Sept. 1. He has been designated to return from injured reserve since Dec. 28, which began a 21-day window for Jensen’s return to the lineup.
Jensen has been a pivotal piece of Tampa Bay’s offensive line since joining the team in 2018.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson could be on his way out of town this offseason. Which NFL city would be fastest to open its arms to him? Lets take a look.

The football gods smiled upon a Vikings fan with a pair of itchy middle fingers on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, his team lost and they probably have tee times lined up for this week already, but he got a sweet souvenir out of it.
The Vikings fell to the New York Giants, 31-24, in the Wild Card round matchup in a back-and-forth affair.
The fan in question had some primo seats directly behind the endzone. Of course, that meant that earlier in the game had a great view of Daniel Jones hitting Isaiah Hodgins for a 14-yard touchdown.

The Baltimore coach blamed improper execution on the play that ultimately decided the Ravens’ playoff fate.
The Ravens saw their postseason hopes turn on one pivotal play Sunday night, and coach John Harbaugh was left to explain his thinking on the crucial moment after his team’s wild-card loss to the Bengals. 
Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley fumbled at the goal line with 11:39 to play in the fourth quarter while trying to jump over the pile and reach into the end zone with the football on a quarterback sneak.
