Dolphins Contacted Peyton Manning About Possible Comeback Last Season
Share this: The Miami Dolphins lost starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a brutal ACL tear in Week 14 last season, and the Fins apparently toyed with the idea of bringing in a new signal-caller before turning to backup Matt Moore. In an interview with The Times-Picayune, Archie Manning revealed that Dolphins head coach Adam Gase reached out to Peyton Manning via text following Tannehill’s injury, pitching the legendary QB to come out of retirement. “It started with Gase,” Archie Manning said. “He said, ‘Hey 18, Tannehill went down.’ He said, ‘I think he’s going to miss some time. The first question I’m going to get at the press conference in the morning is if I’m going to try to bring you to Miami. What
NFL Rumors: Chargers Plan To Fire Mike McCoy After Disappointing Season
Share this: Mike McCoy will be on the sideline for the San Diego Chargers in Week 17, but it might be for the last time. The Chargers plan to fire their head coach after San Diego’s matchup against the AFC West division rival Kansas City Chiefs, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday. Thanks in part to a slew of injuries, the Bolts have stumbled to a 5-10 record this season. McCoy brought the Chargers to the playoffs as an AFC wild-card team in his first season in 2013, but they lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round. San Diego turned in another 9-7 season in 2014 before finishing below .500 in their last two, giving McCoy a 27-36 record over four seasons. If
Patriots Notes: Dolphins’ Adam Gase Considers Tom Brady ‘League-Changing-Type Player’
by Zack Cox on Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 4:35PM 1,311 FOXBORO, Mass. — A collection of notes from Wednesday as the New England Patriots prepare for their final game of the 2016 regular season: — Adam Gase is a big Tom Brady fan. Except when he’s coaching against him. The Miami Dolphins coach has seen plenty of Brady from his time with the Denver Broncos, and he heaped praise on the Patriots quarterback during a conference call with New England reporters. “It’s probably right ...

NFL Schedule: Patriots Vs. Dolphins Week 17 Game Will Not Be Flexed
Share this: After there was a possibility of a schedule flex, the New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Week 17 game will start at 1 p.m. ET as scheduled. Had the Pittsburgh Steelers and/or Kansas City Chiefs lost their games Sunday, the NFL would have moved the Pats-Dolphins game to 4:25 p.m. ET. Neither of which occurred, as the Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens in a last-second thriller, and the Chiefs took care of business at home against the Denver Broncos. Both the Ravens and Broncos were eliminated from playoff contention as a result of their losses, giving the Dolphins the final AFC wild-card spot. While all six AFC playoff teams are set, seedings still are up for grabs in Week 17. Thumbnail photo
Watch Chiefs’ Dontari Poe Throw Breathtaking Jump-Pass TD Vs. Broncos
Share this: The Kansas City Chiefs earned a convincing win Sunday night, trouncing the Denver Broncos 33-10. While the Chiefs’ victory seemingly never was in doubt, the team added a little insurance late in the fourth quarter with a touchdown pass … from a nose tackle. Dontari Poe lined up as a wildcat quarterback and threw a flawless jump-pass touchdown to tight end Demetrius Harris. Take a look at the hilarious play. At 6-foot-3 and 346 pounds, it’s safe to assume Poe is one of the largest “quarterbacks” to throw a touchdown in NFL history.

Matt Barkley Taking Page From Tom Brady’s Playbook To Stay Warm In Chicago
by Zack Cox on Sun, Dec 18, 2016 at 1:06PM 1,627 Share this: Sunday’s Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers is expected to be one of the coldest in Soldier Field history, and Bears quarterback Matt Barkley is using a unique method to stay warm. Barkley told ESPN’s Michelle Steele and NFL Media’s Stacey Dales he plans to wear a wetsuit — similar to the ones triathletes wear — under his shoulder pads in an effort to combat the sub-freezing temperatures in Chicago. The QB said he picked up the idea from former teammate Matt Cassel. How’d Cassel learn about it? From the man he used to back up in New England — Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Here’s how the interesting undergarment looked on Barkley during pregame warmups: The
