The Athletic polled 10 coaches/high-ranking executives (none from a team with a vacancy) to rank head-coach vacancies by attractiveness. Includes teams that have hired coaches. 10 points for 1st place, 9 for 2nd, etc. Cardinals were last with 15 points: 8th 1, 9th 3, 10th 6.

There have been 6 games decided by 4 points or fewer, tied with 2021 and 2006 for the most in postseason history. Sunday has the top 3 scoring offenses (L.A. Rams, New England, Seattle) & 3 of the top 4 scoring defenses (Seattle, Denver and New England) from the regular season.
OK, I stuffed this AFC Championship Game preview with stats. I tried to go back into Jarrett Stidham's starts from 2022-2023. I looked at Patriots blitz rates. I asked where the Broncos defense has a weakness. All kinds of stuff.https://t.co/UvO3OdOdg4

The Broncos got the most pressures in the NFL from their starting defensive tackle duo. The Seahawks were second. The Rams were third. The Patriots were fourth. I think I just noticed a pattern.
