Was Brady praying after the game?
The New England Patriots stormed back from a 25-point deficit to win their fifth Super Bowl with a stunning 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in the National Football League’s championship game.

HOUSTON -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Friday that center Alex Mack's injury was "going to hurt, but a lot of guys are playing through stuff."
But not every guy is dealing with a hairline fracture in his left fibula.
ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news Sunday morning of the severity of Mack's injury as the Falcons prepare to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI. Mack was worth monitoring no matter how much the team

The Cowboys’ offseason is going to require open heart surgery because Aaron Rodgers and the Packers just crushed the Cowboys’ Super Bowl hopes in the most devastating way.

In October 2010, New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley drilled Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as he released a pass to receiver Miles Austin. Boley drove Romo into the ground and landed on top of him, breaki
*On Sunday in Atlanta, former NFL quarterback Michael Vick is supposed to be part of a group of several players being honored by the Falcons at half-time of the team’s final game of the season against the New Orleans Saints.
The problem is there’s a whole bunch of fans who don’t want him there. They’ve even started a petition at Change.org seeking to have the team to revoke its invitation to Vick.
As of Friday morning, the petition reached 8,000 of its 10,000-supporter goal, less than 24 hou
Jeff Fisher's run as the Los Angeles Rams Rams head coach is over after four-plus seasons. The Rams announced Fisher's dismissal Monday after Los Angeles lost 42-14 to the Atlanta Falcons.
Myles Simmons of the Rams shared a statement from team owner Stan Kroenke on the decision to part ways with Fisher:
Fisher, 58, went 31-45-1 during his tenure. Taking over in 2012 after a 17-year run with the Tennessee Titans, Fisher failed to make the playoffs during his entire run with the Rams and never

Jerry Jones, owner of the red-hot Cowboys, unexpectedly hit it big with rookie Dak Prescott in the fourth round but still has an expected soft spot for deposed long-time starter Tony Romo.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily News in his midtown Manhattan hotel room Thursday afternoon, Jones made two predictions:
— There’s going to be a situation where Romo steps in and helps Dallas in its
Tom Brady now stands alone as the winningest quarterback in NFL history.
The two-time MVP and four-time Super Bowl champion took sole possession of the all-time QB win record on Sunday after the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 26-10.
Brady had been tied for the mark, which includes both regular-season and playoff victories, with longtime rival Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.
Brady completed 33 of 46 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’
In another week that was not what you would call a "pretty" win, the New England Patriots prevailed in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets.
Tom Brady was clearly hampered for the entirety of the game, but he put the team on his back and settled in for a signature game-winning drive that we have all become accustomed to. By finding his rookie wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who burned old buddy Darrelle Revis for two touchdowns, including the game-winner, the Patriots were able to
The Oakland Raiders snapped the NFL's longest active streak without a winning season by defeating the Carolina Panthers 35-32 on Sunday, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The Raiders hadn't posted a winning season since 2002, going 13 straight without more than eight victories. The last Oakland team to do so went 11-5 and lost the Super Bowl to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A number of good picks in recent NFL drafts have played a huge role in the team's turnaround this season. High-round names such as Derek
NEW ORLEANS -- Jared Goff threw his first career touchdown pass on the first drive of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and it was a beauty.
Goff took a snap from the shotgun and tossed a perfect, 24-yard lob pass to rarely targeted 5-foot-8 receiver Tavon Austin to give the Los Angeles Rams an early 7-0 lead in a game that they basically need to win.
Jared Goff threw his first career touchdown pass on the first drive of Sunday's game against the New
Tony Romo's demotion to backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott has dramatically increased the possibility that the veteran quarterback will be traded by the Dallas Cowboys this offseason.
Continue for updates.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported Sunday morning that when the Cowboys try to trade Romo in the offseason, "he'll have significant say" on his destination, with the Denver Broncos reportedly being a landing spot of interest for the veteran quarterback
When Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he believes Tony Romo will quarterback a Super Bowl team and has another five years to play, it sure sounds like’s trying to build up some trade value.
Because to figure out what the Cowboys could get for Romo — whose emotional concession speech to star rookie Dak Prescott was “not a goodbye,” Jones told reporters Thursday — you have to start by considering the conversation that would take place elsewhere.
“Imagine me going to (the owner) and saying, ‘
Alabama’s suffocating defense bottled up LSU running back Leonard Fournette and provided Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts the luxury of a few scoreless quarters to get accustomed to deafening Death Valley.
Hurts finally escaped the grasps of LSU’s stingy defense on a 21-yard touchdown run that broke a scoreless tie early in the fourth quarter, and No. 1 Alabama remained unbeaten with a 10-0 shutout of the 15th-ranked Tigers on Satu
He’s 39 years old. He has played in only four games following a suspension. But at the midpoint of the NFL season, Tom Brady is the front-runner for the MVP award.
The New England Patriots quarterback has the stats, but — stop me if you’ve heard this before — Brady would be a controversial choice as MVP. Reggie Wayne was painfully, succinctly blunt about the matter. “There is no way Tom Brady can win MVP,” the former Indianapolis Colts receiver said on the NFL Network’s “Total Access,” “becaus
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly shared his opinion Monday that Tom Brady of the New England Patriots is the best quarterback of all time.
"I don't mind saying that," Kelly told ESPN's Chris Berman on Monday Night Countdown.
"The consistency, every single year he does it. And he doesn't have, all time, the greatest players around him. A lot of times they are in and out -- [Wes] Welkeris gone, a couple other guys are gone. He does have a great one in [Rob] Gronkowski, bu
National anthem protests are apparently the leading factor for the National Football League’s plummeting television ratings this season, according to a new poll.
With viewership down by approximately 12 per cent this season, a poll conducted by Seton Hall shows 56 per cent of football fans voted yes when asked if players not standing for the anthem is one of the contributing factors accounting for the drop.
