University of Louisville QB Miller Moss announced on social media that he is declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Link to storyPhiladelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 20-of-35 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in an NFC Wild Card game loss against the San Francisco 49ers, while running five times for 14 yards. RB Saquon Barkley rushed 26 times for a game-high 106 yards with three receptions for 25 yards on six targets. RB Tank Bigsby had four runs for 19 yards, with RB Will Shipley chipping in with a 6-yard grab on his lone touch and target. WR DeVonta Smith posted team bests with eight receptions and 70 yards on 11 targets, while new dad TE Dallas Goedert had four receptions for 33 yards and a TD, while also running for a 1-yard score. WR A.J. Brown had three receptions for 25 yards on seven targets, but he also had a key drop in the fourth quarter and a shouting match with head coach Nick Sirianni during the game. WR Darius Cooper had a 9-yard catch on his only target, while WR Jahan Dotson didn't have a catch on his lone target. DB Quinyon Mitchell had two interceptions and three passes defensed, while DE Jalen Carter had three total stops, a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and a QB hit.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles offense has been a dysfunctional family all season, and it ended up being the downfall of the 2025 season for the team. AJ Brown had a terrible drop with the team driving to win the game, and was seen having a heated exchange with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline earlier in the game. That won't quiet speculation that he gets dealt in the offseason. The 49ers were without their starting linebackers, but the Eagles underachieved on offense all day. It could lead to both the firing of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and the hiring of 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a head coach in this firing/hiring cycle - but not for at least one more week. Dallas Goedert is also a free agent, so there could be some major changes for this offense in the offseason. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 18-of-31 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, while running nine times for 24 yards, in the NFC Wild Card game road win against the Philadelphia Eagles. RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 48 yards, while posting six receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns, including a 29-yard TD from WR Jauan Jennings. The latter had one reception for 45 yards on three targets and the scoring strike. WR Demarcus Robinson led the way with six receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, while FB Kyle Juszczyk absorbed all four targets for 49 yards, with TE Jake Tonges posted a 14-yard catch on three targets, stepping in for TE George Kittle (Achilles), who had one grab for six yards before leaving with a ruptured Achilles. LB Garret Wallow had 11 total stops with five solo tackles and a pass defensed, while LB Eric Kendricks, a former Eagle, had 10 total stops with seven solo tackles, two stops for loss and a pass break-up to seal the win.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers offense was getting pushed around early, but Brock Purdy completed a few big plays and the defense make enough stops to keep the team hanging around. A trick play perfect Jauan Jennings throw to Christian McCaffrey for a touchdown gave the 49ers the lead in the second half, and then McCaffrey caught another score to regain the lead in the waning minutes. Losing George Kittle to an achilles tear is a big blow to the offense. The 49ers were only able to muster three points against the Seahawks back in Week 18 with the #1 seed on the line, and that's where they will go in the divisional round. |

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson completed a virtual interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the same position on Sunday, Jan. 11.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs are looking at more experienced offensive coordinators over up and coming stars. This is a make or break for Todd Bowles, so the team is looking for results now. Baker Mayfield was actually very good against Houston and Seattle before getting hurt against Detroit in Week 7, so whoever the team hires may be a success even if they aren't any better than the recently-fired Josh Grizzard. |

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 18-of-30 passes for 207 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, while running six times for 31 yards. RB Travis Etienne Jr. rushed 10 times for a game-high 67 yards, while RB Bhayshul Tuten ran four times for 51 yards. On the receiving end, WR Parker Washington hauled in seven receptions for a game-best 107 yards and a touchdown, while Etienne added five grabs for 49 yards and a score, and WR Brian Thomas Jr. had two catches for 21 yards and a TD. WR Jakobi Meyers was targeted four times, but managed just a single 12-yard catch, while TE Brenton Strange converted his five targets into just two grabs and nine yards. LB Devin Lloyd led the way with five solo tackles, an assist and a fumble recovery, while S Eric Murray had seven total stops and four solo tackles, and DE Josh Hines-Allen had four total stops, three solo tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits.
| Footballguys view: It wasn't a flawless game by Lawrence, but it would have been good enough to beat most of the teams in the AFC playoff bracket, and he was productive against a good Bills pass defense. The Jaguars were stopped on fourth down inside the Bills 10 after recovering a Ray Davis fumbled kickoff return and Cam Little missed a 54-yard field goal attempt at the half awarded on a controversial call. You can't expect to beat Josh Allen in the postseason when you miss multiple scoring opportunities. The future is still bright for this team and for Lawrence (who will get Travis Hunter back). The biggest decision this offseason will be whether to sign Travis Etienne, who is due to hit free agency in March. |

However, the injury is reportedly as good as it's been in quite some time. For Allen, it is a matter of pain tolerance and he is not at risk of sustaining further injury.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 21 of his 40 passes for 264 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he rushed three times for 24 yards and a touchdown in a 34-31 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card playoff game. RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 13 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns and caught two passes for 13 yards, and Rico Dowdle chipped in nine rushing yards on five carries and caught one pass for six yards.

LB Christian Rozeboom led the way with nine tackles, including five solo stops, and CB Mike Jackson added three tackles, four passes defensed and an interception.
| Footballguys view: Coker and Hubbard were the players to watch here. Hubbard scored twice and ran hard to keep the Panthers in this game. Coker finished with over 100 yards receiving and seemed to make a big play every time he touched the ball. Panthers fans can hold their heads high in defeat. The Panthers put up a fight and can be excited about what they're building for the future. |

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford went 24-for-42 for 304 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Carolina Panthers in the Wild Card playoff game.

S Kamren Curl recorded five solo tackles and 10 total tackles, while LB Nathan Landman posted four solo tackles and 10 total tackles.
| Footballguys view: Stafford struggled at times, but he led the team to the win late in the fourth quarter. Nacua and Adams were stars at the wide receiver position, and guys like Higbee and Parkinson made plays when they needed to at tight end. The Rams get this tough win on the road as they continue to march towards a Super Bowl. |

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers is a player the team would be interested in re-signing this offseason if he wants to play in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers need a quarterback of the future, but Rodgers can be their quarterback of the now if he wants to stay. Plenty of buzz is building about the Steelers going for a quarterback like Malik Willis (Packers) this offseason in free agency. We'll see if Rodgers can make a quick decision about his future plans so the Steelers can adjust accordingly. |

Florida State University QB Tommy Castellanos has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Castellanos is a dual-threat quarterback who is seen as a developmental prospect. He's a shorter quarterback, measuring in at 5-feet, 11-inches tall. Castellanos must improve his field vision and accuracy as a passer to be an effective pro player. |
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy faces the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round, and the Eagles allowed a league-low 14 passing touchdowns in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is battling a left shoulder injury, but he will be out there in the Wild Card Round. The Eagles have a tough defense with DC Vic Fangio, but we're certain Kyle Shanahan will have a gameplan to move the ball effectively so long as Purdy executes the plays as designed. |
The Carolina Panthers are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on QB Bryce Young's rookie contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Young has grown during his pro career. At one point, Young looked like he might end up a bust. Instead, the 2023 no.1 overall pick led the Panthers to the Wild Card Round and played some good football. Against the Rams on Saturday, Young put up a fight with over 260 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers are building something with Young, so we'll see what else they put around him in the offseason. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was hit 129 during the regular season, most in the NFL. 'He has to be the most insanely mentally tough dude of all time,' teammate LB Khalil Mack said. He was pressured on 42.8 percent of his 615 dropbacks, the highest rate in the league, according to TruMedia. He was hit on 21 percent of those dropbacks, while he was sacked 54 times. Herbert set a career high with 439 scramble yards this season.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers lost both of their starting tackles this year, and that's why Herbert is the most-hit quarterback in the league. During the playoffs, attacking Herbert will be a plan for opponents and he'll have to play through the pressure. The Chargers have what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and better protection for Herbert would help get them there. |
