Colts | Shane Steichen, Chris Ballard Will Be Retained Mon Jan 5, 02:32 AM
The Indianapolis Colts lost their final seven games to complete a historic collapse after an 8-2 start. But the team's ownership has decided not to make significant changes, with the Colts announcing less than three hours after a season-ending loss to the Houston Texans that general manager Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen will return for the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: There had been speculation about the pair's futures given the Colts' recent track record, with the team having not won the AFC South since 2014 and missing the playoffs for five straight seasons. But organizationally, the Colts are moving forward steadfastly with a firm plan. The intent is to retain injured quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones will be a free agent in March but is expected to be re-signed. Ownership, led by CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon, has endorsed the plan in recent weeks. Irsay-Gordon will address reporters Monday, according to the Colts. |
Dolphins | Quinn Ewers apparently avoids major injury Mon Jan 5, 02:32 AM
Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers appears to have avoided a worst-case outcome following a knee injury in the Week 18 finale against the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Ewers went down in the fourth quarter with Miami trailing 38-10. It immediately sparked concern, given the non-contact nature of the play. However, head coach Mike McDaniel offered cautious optimism after the game, revealing the initial evaluation showed a "stable knee" and "not what people would fear." That was a notable sigh of relief for a franchise already staring at a pivotal offseason with many questions -- including head coach and QB. |

Ravens | Huge night for Zay Flowers Mon Jan 5, 12:45 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught four passes (on six targets) for 138 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the team's Week 18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com pointed out, Zay Flowers saved his best for last, delivering his top fantasy outing of the season in Week 18. The 24-year-old scored multiple touchdowns in a game for the first time in 2025, capping off a breakout campaign in style. He set new career highs across the board -- 86 catches, 1,211 yards-- and his recent surge (five touchdowns over the last four games) pushed him to six total scores, matching his rookie total. Flowers will head into a contract year in 2026 as the Ravens' clear-cut No. 1 receiver, a role that comes with plenty of fantasy appeal. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson throws for three TDs in finale Mon Jan 5, 12:07 AM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed 11 of 18 passes for 238 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in Week 18 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson also ran four times for nine yards.
| Footballguys view: Jackson, dealing with a painful back contusion, threw a pair of touchdowns to Zay Flowers in the fourth quarter. Each of Flowers' TDs -- from 50 and 64 yards -- put Baltimore in front. Jackson's first touchdown pass to Flowers was a thing of beauty. It was a rare glimpse of the playmaking Jackson we all invested in this summer. It seems reasonable to believe those looking to buy the dip will get a value in 2026. The question is, will the rebound be there? |
