Nick Sirianni knows that scared money don’t make money.
On the opening drive of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 31-7 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Nick Sirianni opted to go for it on fourth-and-3 at San Francisco’s 35. Jalen Hurts linked up with DeVonta Smith for a phenomenal 29-yard gain.

Except this was obviously not a catch.

The former Cowboys offensive coordinator is reportedly heading to the AFC.
Former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to become the Chargers’ new OC, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It was reported Sunday by The Dallas Morning News that he and Dallas agreed to mutually part ways. 
The Cowboys confirmed the report on Monday in a press release. 
“After continuing through our end of season review process and having additional discussion, Kellen and the Cowboys reached a mutual decision to part ways.

Marshawn Lynch was a DOG during his NFL career, but ‘Skittles’ may be even better in his post-playing life.
Lynch gave his camera crew a full NFL beach workout last week in a now-viral video that’s filled with more cuss words than you can count, hundreds of up-downs, a couple pulled hamstrings and enough “DROPS!” to make your head spin.
Settle in for six minutes of Marshawn Lynch magic. And yes, very, VERY NSFW, so make sure those airpods are fully charged.

Kellen Moore will reportedly join the Los Angeles Chargers.
Moore and the Cowboys mutually decided to go their separate ways Sunday, and it didn’t take the young OC to find a new home.
The former Boise State gunslinger is expected to become the new OC of the Chargers, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Moore had worked for the Cowboys since 2018 after several years as a player in the NFL.

When Troy Aikman and Joe Buck left Fox for Monday Night Football, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen were bumped to the ‘A team.’ It was a blessing in disguise.
Olsen has quickly become one of the best in the business, if not the best in the business. The 37-year-old former All-Pro tight end has a knack for being in the booth.
Although Olsen is in just his second season with the new gig, NFL fans have sung his praises all season, and Sunday’s NFC Championship was no exception. People at home, especially those who had not watched him all season, were enamored by Fox’s newest commentator.

The Eagles this season have been able to adjust to every punch thrown at them, and the NFC title game was the biggest example.
Football and combat sports get compared to each other a lot. When two great teams meet up with the highest stakes on the line, it gets called a heavyweight fight. Those two teams turn the game into a slow, grinding, and physical battle on the line of scrimmage, which gets called a slugfest.
What we rarely see is how NFL teams adjusting their gameplan and making minor tweaks is much like any prizefighter in combat sports.

Fernand Lopez is responsible for the recently departed heavyweight’s entry to UFC in 2015.

KANSAS CITY — Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt had a candid and visceral response to the penalty that basically cost his team the AFC Championship Game Sunday. And he’s getting cooked on social media for it.
But he has responded to his critics.
“Yep ppl will post anything on social media for likes and views,” Pratt wrote from his Instagram account. “I have real feelings sometimes they are raw. If you love something as much I do sometimes things will be said in the heated (sic) of the moment. But I know what type of teammate I am. And what type of man I am.

After the ‘Royal Rumble,’ WWE has a difficult needle to thread with Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes.
The 2023 Royal Rumble ended with one of the great angles in WWE history, although at press time it does not appear it will be leading to the main event of WrestleMania.
