One of the most influential moments of the NFL season came in a Week 17 Monday Night Football battle between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and received CPR, nearly losing his life.
Now, over one month later, Hamlin spoke to Fox Sports prior to Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
Damar Hamlin is here. That I can write that sentence is a blessing for multiple reasons.

This was certainly a choice!
Super Bowl Sunday is here. Finally. Soon we’ll be able to stop with all the hype and just sit back and watch Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs battle Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles with the Lombardi Trophy on the line.
Before we get to the game, though, we have to talk about Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon and the suit he wore to Super Bowl LVII. I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet or not but the dude wore a green and white suit—which are the Eagles’ colors—to the game.
It all comes down to this. Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs against a ferocious Eagles defense while Philly QB Jalen Hurts tries to solve KC’s Chris Jones & Co.
There are so many storylines surrounding Super Bowl LVII. Andy Reid faces the team he formerly led to four straight NFC Championship games. Brothers Jason and Travis Kelce face one another.
But there’s a major theme developing between the two teams that is going wildly underreported. That would be the potential for three different Chiefs and Eagles to have children born on Sunday.
One, Chiefs guard Nick Allegretti, already had twins born to wife Christina early Sunday morning.
Derek Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract, and according to Ian Rapoport, he’s using it.
The quarterback was reportedly speaking to the Saints this week.
Derek Carr has informed the Raiders he will not accept a trade to any team and Las Vegas is expected to release him, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Carr has reportedly been in contact with the Saints this past week regarding a possible trade, but it looks like he has no intention of being dealt.
This is a developing story. Come back for more updates.

The veteran defensive coach is helping prepare Philadelphia’s offense for the Chiefs defense.
Longtime NFL coach Vic Fangio has never won a Super Bowl and next year he’ll try to fix that as the defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins. But on Sunday, Fangio could get an early taste of Super Bowl success after a near-40 year career that started in 1986 with the New Orleans Saints, as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff.
They don’t call Aremi Panarin “The Breadman” for nothing.
Yeah, his name sounds vaguely like the name of a soup and sandwich shop chain that you go to when you’re in an unfamiliar area and don’t know where to eat. However, he also delivers regularly, like a… like a.. like an on-time bread delivery man…
…
…Alright, so it’s mainly that his name sounds like “Panera.”
Although, he gets paid enough — nearly $12 million a year — to make the name apropos on that front too.
Jason Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster are two very, very different personalities. Although they will play in the same game on the same field at the same time on Sunday, the stark contrast between the two was made abundantly clear on their way into State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII.
35-year-old Kelce, arrived first. However, it took him a little bit longer than expected.
As the six Eagles team buses hit the highway and traveled from the hotel to the stadium, they got stuck in traffic. All three lanes were blocked and Philadelphia’s motorcade had nowhere to go.

Kansas City coach says he ‘has a decision to make’ after Super Bowl
A major new storyline has developed in the hours before Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Andy Reid could be pacing the field Sunday for the final time. Reid told Jay Glazer of FOX on Sunday morning that will will consider retirement. Glazer reported that Reid didn’t say no when asked if could retire. Reid will turn 65 next month.
