    Maclin is officially active. Is he just a decoy?

    Aaron Rodgers is the best Hail Mary passer ever.

    Probably true, typical Green Bay vs Arizona playoff game.

    Sunday Update:

    TEN - Mike Mularkey hired by Titans
    Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
    Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey has been chosen as the new head coach Saturday, Jan. 16, according to sources.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Some had speculated the Titans were going to wait for Patriots OC Josh McDaniels to be their new head coach. Instead, the Titans decided to promote Mularkey. We like him as an offensive coach, but he's been a head coach before (Bills 2004-2005, Jaguars 2012) and neither stop had much success. We'll see what kind of strides young QB Marcus Mariota can take next season under Mularkey's guidance.

    NE - Three scores for QB Tom Brady
    Source: The Associated Press
    New England Patriots QB Tom Brady completed 28 of 42 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score in a 27-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday, Jan. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Brady was on point for most of the game against the Chiefs. Having TE Rob Gronkowski and WRs Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola back on the field certainly helped. The bye week gave him plenty of time to rest the ankle problem he had in Week 17.

    NE - TE Rob Gronkowski catches two scores
    Source: The Associated Press
    New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee, back) caught seven passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday, Jan. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Gronkowski did indeed smash....early and often. On the Patriots opening drive, there were more "Gronk Spikes" (1) than there was rushing attempts (0). He got some maintenance during the week for his knee injury, but most considered his back issue to be the more serious issue. We expect it will be a week of rest for Gronkowski again as the team prepares to play in another AFC Championship Game.

    NE - X-rays for WR Julian Edelman
    Source: WEEI.com - Christopher Price
    New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (undisclosed) was seen heading for X-rays following a 27-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday, Jan. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Keep an eye on this situation as the Patriots have advanced to the AFC Championship Game. We'll know more about Edelman's status as the week of practice goes on. He returned from a foot injury that knocked him out in Week 10 to play against the Chiefs on Saturday. He finished with 10 catches for 100 yards and was obviously in sync with QB Tom Brady most of the night.

    KC - Charcandrick West leads the backfield
    Source: The Associated Press
    Kansas City Chiefs RB Charcandrick West carried 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and has two catches for 15 yards in a 27-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday, Jan. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    West's late touchdown certainly helped fantasy owners who trusted him in this matchup. Clock management problems plagued the Chiefs late in this game, and there were a couple of West runs that would've been better as passes. With Jamaal Charles back next season, West goes to handcuff status for fantasy owners.

    KC - WR Jeremy Maclin quiet in loss
    Source: The Associated Press
    Kansas City Chiefs WR Jeremy Maclin (ankle) finished with two catches on three targets for 23 yards in a 27-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday, Jan. 16.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Maclin's high-ankle sprain obviously slowed him down. Without Maclin on the field during key drives in the second half, QB Alex Smith struggled to make plays through the air.

    NFL - WR Reggie Wayne retires
    Source: CBS 4 Indianapolis - Mike Chappell
    Free-agent WR Reggie Wayne (Patriots) announced his retirement Friday, Jan. 15. 'Yeah, I'm done,' Wayne said. 'It was fun, but it's time. It's just time. Whenever you can admit that you're done, you know you're done.'
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    When Wayne was at the top of his game, he was one of the best receivers in the game. He retires ranking seventh all time in receptions (1,070) and eighth in receiving yards (14,345). He may not be an automatic addition to the Hall of Fame, but we wouldn't be shocked to see him wind up in Canton, OH some day.

    PIT - QB Ben Roethlisberger expected to start
    Source: ESPN
    Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) will travel with the team and is expected to start against the Denver Broncos Sunday, Jan. 17.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Roethlisberger will start the game, but will he finish it? The Broncos are the best in the league when it comes to getting after the passer. One big hit on Roethlisberger might knock him out. The Steelers had better do all they can to protect their star quarterback.

    NE - WR Keshawn Martin receives extension
    Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates
    New England Patriots WR Keshawn Martin has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Patriots worth $3 million, according to a source.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    An interesting move for the Patriots here, and one that dynasty owners should be dialed in to. Martin was a fourth-round pick by the Texans in 2012, and the Patriots added him in a trade last September. We should see Martin compete for the WR3 job in New England next training camp.

    I agree and did not expect to see Brady-Manning again in the playoffs.

    Denver has burned me as a home dog multiple times this year so I'm a bit gun shy
