The NFL's Wildcard Weekend is almost in the books, with one notable upset in the five games so far – the Washington Commanders beat the Tampa Buccaneers 23-20 on Sunday night in Florida, on a last-second field goal by Zane Gonzalez. Crossed by jumping from a high point.

Rumors from Sanders to Las Vegas
The heavily favored Bills, Ravens and Eagles all did their job, winning by good margins. The slightly favored Chargers lost to the Texans, 32–12.
On Monday night, the LA Rams will host the Minnesota Vikings in the final wildcard game. The Vikings are -2.5 on the spread at DraftKings, and the moneyline favorite at -142, with the over/under at 47.5. The game was moved to Arizona due to wildfires in LA.
The Latest: Will Neon Dion Light Up Vegas?
The NFL coaching carousel continues to spin with new reports that Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has “very strong interest” in the Las Vegas Raiders job. The Raiders fired Antonio Pierce last week after the team went 4-13 in the NFL regular season during his one season as coach.
Former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is also looking to get back into the game. Other possible candidates for the Raiders include Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh.
According to Spotrac, the Raiders have a young roster (under the age of 26 on average), the No. 6 pick in this April's NFL Draft, and a ton of cap space at just over $98.7 million. However, what they don't have is a quarterback.
patriots get their man
Mike Vrabel is the new coach of the New England Patriots, replacing Jerrod Mayo there.
Vrabel was a big part of three Super Bowl wins in New England as a linebacker and was the head coach of the Tennessee Titans from 2018-23. Their record there was 54–45 in the regular season, 2–3 in the playoffs.

The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Doug Pederson last week after finishing 4-13.
However, GM Trent Baalke was not fired before the final year of his contract.
The Jags also have a lot of cap space – about $35 million. The ownership (Shahid Khan) came under a lot of criticism after this decision, with fans asking why would you fire the coach yet keep Balke for the last year of his contract.
McCarthy to Chicago?
Monday morning's news is that Mike McCarthy is out as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, after failing to come to an agreement on a contract in Big D. So Dallas jobs are now available.
The Chicago Bears fired Matt Eberflus on November 29, and McCarthy is rumored to be the replacement for that position. The Bears have a raw but talented Caleb Williams at QB and about $75 million in cap space, as well as the No. 10 pick in the draft, but they're also in a very tough NFC North with the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Green . The Bay Packers are ahead of them.
jets are a mess
Last but certainly not least – the New York Jets. Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who was fired in 2014 after coaching the team for five years, interviewed for the job last week. now one espn Ryan, the commentator, said on Sunday's broadcast that he was looking forward to “kicking Vrabel's ass.” That comment followed a report that Ryan was no longer being considered for the Jets job.
The Jets are a mess, with Aaron Rodgers no sure thing to return as their quarterback next season. Saleh was fired after a 2–3 start to the season. The Jets have not reached the playoffs in 13 seasons.
According to Spotrac, the Jets do have some upside, however, including receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall as well as about $23 million in cap room.
According to crypto-based forecasting exchange Polymarket, a quick look at the betting markets shows that Johnson's next team will be the Bears, with a 20% chance on volume at $41K. The Jags are second to Johnson at 22% chances. The prediction exchange shows that with a 46% probability the next Jags head coach will be Liam Cohen, and with a 32% probability the next Saints coach will be Aaron Glenn.
