Chiefs' win means first Super Bowl in 50 years​

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs played in the Super Bowl, in 1970, Andy Reid was 11 and Patrick Mahomes was 25 years from being born. The Chiefs will finally return to the Super Bowl, 50 years after beating the Minnesota Vikings for their only NFL championship. This time, they will be coached by Reid and quarterbacked by Mahomes after their 35-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 1970 as members of the old American Football League, then in its final season. For 50 years, time moved on without the Chiefs. The Chiefs made the playoffs in six of their seven seasons under Reid but were 1-4 in the first four postseason appearances.

49ers RB Raheem Mostert runs over Packers with 220 yards, 4 TDs​

To take the biggest step toward completing one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NFL history, the San Francisco 49ers did what they've done so many times throughout the season on Sunday: rode the wave provided by an unlikely hero. With the convincing win, the Niners became the third team in the Super Bowl era to go from four or fewer wins in one season to a Super Bowl berth the next, joining the 1999 St. Louis Rams and the 1988 Cincinnati Bengals. Those Rams went on to win Super Bowl XXXIV, while the Bengals, who played only 15 regular season games that season because of a player strike, lost Super Bowl XXIII to, coincidentally, the 49ers. That game was also played in Miami.

Ranking the NFL's most productive 2019 rookie classes from 1-32
The ability to get production from players on rookie contracts is one of the biggest competitive edges NFL teams can create. It is easier to do that with a wealth of draft capital near the top of the board, of course, but it's important how much a team can get from its draft picks relative to where they were taken rather than just blindly adding together all the production from the class.

Just over two weeks after 15 footballing greats were announced as members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Centennial Class of 2020, the 20-person fraternity was rounded out by five modern-era nominees. Steve Atwater, Isaac Bruce, Steve Hutchinson, Edgerrin James and Troy Polamalu will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio this summer, as announced Saturday night at NFL Honors.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson unanimous pick for NFL MVP after historic season
At 22 years, 356 days old at the end of the regular season, Jackson became the third-youngest player to win the award. Only Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, who was honored as NFL MVP in 1957 and 1958, was younger than Jackson. Jackson is not just the first Ravens player to capture the NFL MVP award, he is the first Baltimore player in 16 years to receive a single vote (Jamal Lewis and Ray Lewis).

Steelers' Troy Polamalu, Colts' Edgerrin James elected to Hall of Fame
James, who played collegiately at the University of Miami, retired in 2009 with 12,246 rushing yards to go with 3,364 yards receiving. Polamalu, who was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2010, was in his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame

After eight hours of talks, no CBA approval from NFLPA

NFL Players Association player representatives and members of the union's executive committee met for approximately eight hours Thursday in Los Angeles, but no decisions were made regarding the approval of a new collective bargaining agreement with the league.The players have been discussing a new CBA proposal, negotiated over the past 10 months between the NFL and the NFLPA, that would allow the owners to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games in exchange for various financial and other concessions ranging from reduced training camp practice time and changes to the drug and discipline policies to an increased share of league revenue going to the players. Several players, including executive committee members Richard Sherman and Russell Okuno, have been outspoken in their opposition to expanding the season.

The NFLPA requires two-thirds of its player reps to vote to approve a deal before submitting it to its full body of membership. As expected, no vote was taken Thursday. No further meetings are currently scheduled, but the expectation among those who attended Thursday's meeting is that the players will convene again at some point to continue their discussions.Both sides owners and players are hoping to reach agreement on a new CBA in time for the start of the 2020 league year, which is March 18. Sources on both sides insisted Thursday that there was no hard-and-fast deadline, but there are changes in the new deal that both sides would like to be able to implement in time for the 2020 league year. Should March 18 come and go without further progress in negotiations, the possibility exists that those negotiations could be put off until next offseason, which would increase the possibility of a 2021 work stoppage.
