The Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers put on an absolute classic in a battle for the AFC North and the last remaining playoff spot. In the last two weeks the Ravens did everything they could to make the playoffs and the Steelers did the exact opposite. Pittsburgh tried their best to give away the AFC North on multiple occasions. Remember that Steelers kicker Chris Boswell missed an extra point towards the end of the game that would have given the Steelers a three point lead. It was the Ravens kicker Tyler Loop who missed the game winning field goal as time expired sending Pittsburgh into the Wild Card game. That game ended on two missed field goals in a row.
As stunned as Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are at last check head coach John Harbaugh still has his job. That can't be said for now former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll and his Bubble Yum will be gone from the Raiders sidelines after one season.
The Atlanta Falcons decided to clean house as they fired both the head coach and the general manager. Coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot both got the ax after the Falcons 19-17 win over the New Orleans Saints. Falcons owner Arthur Blank issued a statement, "The decision to move away from people who represent the organization so well and have a shared commitment to the values that are important to the organization is not an easy one, but the results on the field have not met our expectations or those of our fans and leadership. I wish Raheem and Terry the absolute best in their future pursuits."
In other words, I'm not paying you guys all of this money to keep finishing below .500...if you don't want to be 'future pursuited' get me a winning season.
This morning Cleveland decided to get rid of their head coach. The Browns fired Kevin Stefanski after six seasons. Jimmy and Dee Haslam, the owners of the Browns, said about Stefanski, "We appreciate all his hard work and dedication to our organization but our results over the last two seasons have not been satisfactory, and we believe a change at the head coaching position is necessary."
What do you mean the last two seasons? The Browns have been awful since before the expansion in 1999. I'm noticing a pattern here, if you lose more games than you win in multiple seasons, we have to future pursuit you.
That being said, how the hell does NY Giants GM Joe Schoen still have his gig? The Giants finished 4-13 this season and former head coach Brian Daboll got whacked before the season was finished. Daboll was fired for trying to get rookie QB Jaxson Dart killed this season by running him out there concussed and banged up...allegedly...and Schoen infamously overpaid Daniel Jones to keep him and ran off RB Saquon Barkley who then got traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and had a 2000 yard season on the way to a SuperBowl win...Oops! Then again there's a worse general manager that I can think of in Dallas but since he's also the owner I don't see him firing himself anytime soon.
