NFL standings: Updated AFC, NFC playoff picture after Week 13 of 2022 season

When the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game on Sunday night, they’ll be doing it without three of their starting offensive linemen as La’el Collins, Alex Cappa and Jonah Williams will all be sidelined from the game with injuries. The three...

The 2022 season was a study in extremes for the Panthers. There were the lowest of lows — a 1-4 start brought an unceremonious end to Matt Rhule's tenure, Christian McCaffrey was dealt to the 49ers, and Baker Mayfield's struggles persisted until he was released. But there were some...

There was never really any doubt that Patrick Mahomes would play in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the big question is how effective he will be. The Kansas City Chiefs are wondering that, too. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media said Sunday that the Chiefs were encouraged by how Mahomes looked in... The post Report: Chiefs have 1 big question about Patrick Mahomes appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

The NFL is a copycat league. Teams are always trying to tap into the latest trend, whether that's installing a West Coast offense or a Cover 2 defense. Everyone is trying to find the next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan or Andy Reid. Well, one fan took "copycat" to the...

The NFL is down to its final four teams, but the question of who the Super Bowl favorite might be entering championship weekend is completely up in the air. With some prolific quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, some of the most dynamic weapons in the sport in Philadelphia, and some elite defensive talent in San Francisco, all four teams feel capable of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy when all is said and done.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wore a Sorry in Advance shirt to Kansas City that had a bear wearing a shirt that simply read, "Sorry."

Yet another Chiefs offensive player is questionable to play in Sunday's AFC championship game vs. the Bengals. The latest player to suffer an injury is All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce, who reportedly suffered back spasms in practice on Friday, despite being a full participant. He appeared on Kansas City's injury report for the day, in which he was listed as "questionable" to play vs. Cincinnati.

Joe Burrow still has a long way to go as the Bengals starting quarterback to mach everything Tom Brady has done in his NFL career. But that doesn't happened stopped many, including pundits and opponents, from comparing of one today's great young star QBs with the GOAT. Burrow, at 26,...

Heading into the postseason, there were two teams that stood above the rest in the NFC. After three rounds, they will meet as one looks to punch its ticket to the Super Bowl. The 49ers travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Eagles on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. It's the matchup many expected heading into the playoffs; both teams were freight trains in the regular season, blowing past their respective competition with relative ease.

With the Bengals on the cusp of a second straight Super Bowl appearance, many football fans around the country have begun reporting a similar dilemma: they're afraid Joe Burrow is going to steal their significant other. In truth, it's a valid concern. Burrow has captured the admiration of millions of...

When the Bengals beat the Ravens in the wild-card round of the 2023 NFL playoffs, one of the first questions asked of Zac Taylor was whether the team would go around Cincinnati delivering game balls to local bars. "I know I'm continuing that tradition. That tradition is never going to...

The Chiefs are lauded for their home support, with many crowning Arrowhead as the league's rowdiest stadium. However, it also is the home of one of the league's most controversial traditions. The tomahawk chop has been a fixture at various sporting events for much of the last 30 years, with...

Brock was the furthest thing from a lock in the 2022 NFL Draft. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has put himself in position to continue making NFL history as San Francisco faces the Eagles in the NFC championship game Sunday. While the midseason injury to Jimmy Garoppolo could have doomed a lesser franchise's Super Bowl chances, Purdy's ascent has kept the 49ers in the hunt for a championship.

Joe Burrow wants to be a Bengals quarterback for his entire career. He's about to get paid a lot more for doing it over the long term. Cincinnati officials have every intention of giving him a contract extension sometime in the 2023 NFL offseason, ahead of the fifth-year option year that's at the back of his rookie deal. As the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2020, Burrow got $36.190 million all guaranteed over his first four years.

As far as NFL moms go, Donna Kelce is a special one. She's been an enthusiastic supporter of her All-Pro sons Travis and Jason throughout their outstanding careers, often going above and beyond to be present for both of them. Kelce made headlines last January when she showed the ultimate...

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy isn't the only seventh-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft who will play a huge role in conference championship weekend. Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco, who was selected 11 picks before Purdy with the No. 251 pick, will be a key player for Kansas City in the AFC championship game against Cincinnati on Sunday.

The Eagles are in the NFC championship game this year, so imagine how their NFC East competitors feel knowing they also have a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Philadelphia has drafted exceptionally well in recent years, with DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts leading the charge. This year, it has the No. 10 overall pick (via trade with the Saints), along with its own first-, second- and third-rounders.

Chiefs fans held their collective breath during Kansas City's playoff game against Jacksonville last weekend, as Patrick Mahomes went down in the first quarter when Arden Key fell onto his ankle, hobbling the star quarterback. Mahomes, visibly frustrated, was escorted to the locker room briefly after the injury, but he...

Sunday's AFC championship game between the Chiefs and Bengals — their second in as many seasons — will be something of a personal affair for Travis Kelce. Though he has played well against Cincinnati — 19 catches for 176 yards and two scores in their last three meetings — an untimely fumble in their Week 13 game helped seal Kansas City's third straight defeat at the hands of Joe Burrow and the Bengals. If Kelce wants to help his team bounce back against Cincinnati, he'll most likely need to have a good game on Sunday.
