which stunned Baltimore 31-27 after Buffalo had won at Miami 22-

The Buffalo Bills are in the NFL playoffs. No Alex Mack Jersey 2019 , we’re not kidding. They needed some last-minute help from Cincinnati, 16 Sunday. Those results lifted the Bills into the final AFC wild-card spot and a visit to Jacksonville next Sunday. The last time they reached the postseason, the Bills lost in the Music City Miracle game in Nashville in January 2000. Their playoff drought was the longest current string in North American professional sports. But the happiness comes with a caveat: star running back LeSean McCoy was injured and carted off in the second half. He was seen in a walking boot after the game. ”The locker room is electric man. We have been working so hard for this,” Bills guard Richie Incognito said. ”So much has been said about it. And now the monkey is off our back. We’re in the postseason and we’ve got new life.” The Jaguars are coached by Doug Marrone, who resigned as Bills coach exactly three years ago. Baltimore’s late meltdown was stunning. The Ravens needed to stop a fourth-and-12 from their 49, and Andy Dalton found Tyler Boyd with 44 seconds left to pull out the win – and send the Ravens home. Baltimore had trailed most of the game before taking a 27-24 lead with 8:48 remaining. ”Even the game, I think, epitomizes a little bit the way the season went Black Ricardo Allen Jersey ,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. ”We had to battle our way back the way we did, and then not to be able to finish and win the game is about as tough as it can be.” Tennessee had a win-and-get-in scenario and took advantage by beating the AFC South champion Jags 15-10. That gave the Titans their first playoff berth since 2008. They head to AFC West winner Kansas City on Saturday to open the wild-card round. ”We refused to go home,” Brian Orakpo said. ”I didn’t want to be on a Southwest flight back to Texas tomorrow wondering, `what if.’ ”It’s an unbelievable feeling.” The Falcons will get another chance to reach the Super Bowl, though this time as a wild card. The team that blew a 28-3 lead in the second half of the big game in February defeated Carolina 22-10 to earn a trip to the NFC West champ Rams. Los Angeles sat most of its regulars in losing to San Francisco 34-13. Falcons-Rams is Saturday night. Seattle fell short of reaching the postseason with Atlanta’s win, but lost anyway to Arizona 26-24. ”All you want is an opportunity,” said Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, who had a sack and three tackles for losses. ”We have one. Now it’s up to us to take advantage of it.” The Panthers already were in Ricardo Allen Jersey 2019 , and they will meet NFC South foe and division winner New Orleans on Sunday to finish off the opening round. The Saints swept their two meetings with Carolina this season. New England (13-3), as it almost always seems to do, secured home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs by beating the Jets 26-6. Pittsburgh (13-3) got the No. 2 seed – its controversial loss to the Patriots in Week 15 was the tiebreaker – with its 28-24 victory over Cleveland. They both are off next week. Minnesota (13-3) already had qualified for the postseason, and it grabbed a wild-card round bye with a 23-10 win over Chicago. The other bye in the NFC went to Philadelphia (13-3) last week as the top seed, and the Eagles played plenty of backups in a 6-0 defeat against Dallas. Eight of the 12 playoff teams are newcomers from last year: Buffalo, Tennessee, Jacksonville, the Rams Matt Bosher Jersey 2019 , Philadelphia, Carolina, New Orleans and Minnesota. That includes two teams that finished last in their division in 2016 and won it this season: the Eagles and Jags. The divisional round will open in Philadelphia on Saturday, Jan. 13. New England will host a game that night. On Sunday, Jan. 14, Pittsburgh hosts the early game, then the round concludes in Minnesota. — It’s reported to be $20 million or so per year."Julio Jones has a credible case as the best receiver in football. Odell Beckham Jr. is younger and Antonio Brown has some utterly remarkable feats to draw on himself, but no one has ever averaged more yards per game than Julio and he’s on pace to finish among the ten or even five most productive players ever at his position.All of that is to suggest that it’s no surprise he’s going to get paid Black Matt Bosher Jersey , especially in an offseason when OBJ and AB have new teams and new money. Now Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman bleacherly reports that Julio and the Falcons are closing in on a new multi-year deal worth an annual average of $20 million per season. Honestly, that’s about as quick as I would’ve dared hope for. Several realities underlie this new deal. It will be costly for the Falcons, obviously, but they’re also able to work with Julio to try and figure out a structure that gives them short-term cap flexibility and protection against injury, while Julio gets guaranteed money, the “biggest contract in football” at his position for at least a short time, and what may prove to be the final gargantuan contract of his career, unless he’s got unusual longevity to go with his unusual athleticism. Ideally Limited Julio Jones Jersey , the new deal has something for everyone, including fans who are getting to watch the best receiver in franchise history ply his craft.The most immediate consequence for the team ought to be a little extra cash this offseason, which I expect to translate into a small handful of the defensive signings we haven’t seen this offseason, including Kemal Ishmael (reported by Vaughn McClure at ESPN to be likely to return) and defensive line help for a thin unit. Now we just wait to see whether Freeman’s report is accurate and a new deal is in the offing soon.
