Trash talking, jokes and honest admissions were on display during wild-card weekend.
1. I’ve said this a million times and I’ll say it again: More miked-up players, please.
In addition to the great games we got from wild-card weekend, we now have some outstanding clips of players who were miked up during the action.
NFL Films does a tremendous job each week of highlighting the best of players who were miked up for games, and things went to another level for wild-card weekend.
First we have Giants nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who caused havoc for the Vikings in New York’s 31–24 win.

The hype around Payton is huge, but is it deserved?
With numerous coaching vacancies around the NFL there’s one name that keeps popping up as the golden goose of 2022: Sean Payton. The former Super Bowl winning coach of the New Orleans Saints is on the verge of returning to the league, and with it the hype and expectation that he can bring immediate success to an ailing franchise.
Payton is good, make no mistake, and his return to the league following a break comes at the perfect time for him.

The 2022 season has barely ended and we’re already looking ahead to the 2023 Heisman Trophy odds, thanks to a few sports books. Yes, Caleb Williams and Drake Maye lead the way, but SEC QBs Jayden Daniels and Joe Milton are getting some early Heisman love.
Yes, we don’t know how spring practice and the transfer portal will effect some of these odds, but these casinos will certainly take your money on a hunch you might have heading into the off-season.

Damar Hamlin, 15 days removed from a cardiac arrest event in the Buffalo Bills regular-season game against the Cincinnati Bengals, is back at work.
Well, he’s back in the Bills’ building on a daily basis.
“Damar’s in the building now almost starting daily,” McDermott told reporters Wednesday. “That’s good news. As he continues to improve, that certainly helps…”
Hamlin, 24, has not yet attended either of the Bills two games since his medical emergency that resulted in a stay at a local Cincinnati hospital and then a Buffalo hospital for a short time.

Jim Harbaugh’s program keeps finding itself in the news.
Harbaugh shrugged.
Tuesday afternoon, video went viral of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh doing what he does—grandstanding while recruiting. He was in Bellevue, Wash., at the school of a four-star class of 2024 tight-end prospect who has committed to the Wolverines. This seemed like a fine opportunity to get in a quick farmer’s carry workout, complete with shoulder shrugs, while wearing slacks and a button-down shirt.
What surfaced later Tuesday was not the kind of thing that could be shrugged off.
