If anything remotely positive has come out of a tough 2022 for the NFL injury-wise, it’s the increasing attention given to the league’s medical professionals, too often unsung heroes.
For instance, Bills assistant trainer Denny Kellington was fêted around the country for his role in saving safety Damar Hamlin’s life after his collapse on Jan. 2.

Danny Woodhead was among those who weren’t pleased with the calls in Sunday’s title game.
The officiating in the Chiefs’ 23–20 victory over the Bengals in the AFC championship game became a hotly contested topic of debate on social media Sunday night, with plenty of members of the NFL world weighing in. Among them was former NFL running back Danny Woodhead, who managed to make a rather clever pun to give his assessment of the game’s officials.

Midfielder Sam Mewis has undergone a second knee surgery and is unlikely to be available to play for the US at the Women’s World Cup this summer.

The incident occurred in the mountains of central Japan on Sunday.
Former world champion halfpipe skier Kyle Smaine, who won the world championship in 2015, died Sunday after getting buried in an avalanche in Japan. He was 31 years old.

LeSean McCoy weighs in on the Philadelphia Eagles 31-7 win in over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game and explains the win was not impressive.

The league’s conference championships were greatly influenced by the amount of players who weren’t available, and there are several potential culprits worth examining.
Thirteen days until the Super Bowl.

Joy Taylor weighs in on Joseph Ossai’s costly penalty late in the 4th quarter of the AFC Championship Game and explains Ossai deserves a bit of the blame but not all of it. Joy believes Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense deserve blame because they were unable to take command of the game with 2:30 remaining in the 4th quarter.

Patrick Mahomes is headed back to the Super Bowl and the Chicago Bears will be watching at home. That didn’t necessarily have to be the case, and now they look terrible in hindsight.
In 2017, Mahomes was drafted No. 10 overall out of Texas Tech by the Chiefs. He has since gone on to win two MVPs, a Super Bowl, and a Super Bowl MVP, and is already one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time at just 27 years young.
Nine teams passed on Mahomes in the 2017 draft. Many of which did not need a quarterback, so it makes sense.
Chicago, on the other hand, desperately needed a quarterback.

Rookie San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a nightmarish end to his fairytale season.

After a day of testing, Purdy’s injury diagnosis has returned with damning news, though it definitely could have gone worse.
