Dallas will try to bounce back from an overtime lo s to Jacksonville when it faces NFC East rival Philadelphia on Saturday. They are 4.5-point favorites against Philadelphia in the latest Week 16 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook, one of the larger NFL spreads of the week. Philadelphia has won 13 of its 14 games this season, including a 26-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 6, but will be without quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder), setting up plenty of questions as you set your NFL bets.

Brock Purdy has been nothing short of sensational since replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 13. He's just the second quarterback ever with a 115-plus pa ser rating in his first two starts, joining Aaron Rodgers. He's done this with difficult circumstances thrown his way after one start came against Tampa's top-five pa s defense and the other came in Seattle, which has one of the toughest road environments in the NFL.Neither of those will be in play when San Fran hosts the Commanders on Saturday. Washington ranks 25th in scoring, which means tough sledding is on tap against the league's best defense. San Francisco doesn't just limit the opposition, as it also gives the ball back to the team's offense as San Francisco Stanley Johnson Jersey  has 12 takeaways versus two giveaways over its last five games. Washington has averaged just 17 points over its last three games, but it isn't projected to reach that number versus the Niners. San Francisco (-7) is forecasted to cover well over 50% of the time, with the Over (39.5) hitting in well over 50% of simulations..Top Week 16 NFL survivor picksThe model's Week 16 NFL knockout pool picks say to avoid the Titans, even though they are touchdown favorites over the Texans. Tenne see got off to a strong start this season, but it is one of the coldest teams in the NFL entering Week 16. The Titans are riding a four-game losing streak following their 17-14 setback against the Chargers, and they have now gone 2-5 in their last seven December games.  Houston has been knocking on the door of a big upset win in recent weeks, losing to Dallas by four points as a 17-point underdog and falling to Kansas City in overtime as a 14.5-point underdog. The Texans tend to play close games against Tenne see, covering the spread in 12 of the last 18 head-to-head meetings. SportsLine's model expects this game to go either way, making the Titans a team to avoid in survivor pools..Top Week 16 NFL office pool picksOne of the strongest Week 16 NFL football pool picks from the model is that the beat the Bears. Nobody is confusing the Miami Dolphins' defense with other elite units around the league, but Bills quarterback Josh Allen carved them up last weekend for 304 pa sing yards and four touchdowns, along with 77 more yards on the ground. Meanwhile, Chicago gave up over 300 pa sing yards for the second time in three games in Week 15 against the Eagles.Even more troubling for the Bears is that even though they may have the best running quarterback in the league, they have allowed the eighth-most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season. Allen has the fourth-most rushing yards among all pa sers with 705 and six touchdowns. Chicago's offense is  Rick Mahorn Jersey beat up and one-dimensional, while the Bills are rolling and win this weekend against the Bears in 74% of simulations..  How to make Week 16 NFL picksThe model has made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 16 NFL schedule, and it's calling for a shocking lo s by a division leader.

After Urban Meyer was at an Ohio restaurant earlier this month, one of the first people he talked to was . Not only have the two known each other for more than 15 years, but they're , so it's not too surprising to hear that the coach ended up having a conversation with Tebow in the aftermath of his embarra sing incident.During Tebow revealed that he offered some advice to Meyer during their conversation."This is a very disappointing, frustrating and honestly heartbreaking situation," Tebow said. "My advice to him was to apologize, to admit it, to learn from it and to never, never repeat it."Meyer clearly took Tebow's advice, because he ended up apologizing multiple times. After a half-hearted apology on Oct. Tim Beckham Jersey  4, where he , Meyer came out two days later and said he apologized to everyone in the organization for being a distraction.           Pick Six Newsletter   Crafted By The Best NFL Experts   Get the day's big stories + fun stuff you love like mock drafts, picks and power rankings.     I agree to receive the "Pick Six Newsletter" and marketing communications, updates, special offers (including partner offers), and other information from CBS Sports and the Paramount family of companies.  By pre sing sign up, I confirm that I have read and agree to the and acknowledge Paramount's .                 Please check the opt-in box to acknowledge that you would like to subscribe.       Thanks for signing up!   Keep an eye on your inbox.     Sorry Cedric Mullins Jersey !   There was an error proce sing your subscription.     "I had a very pointed conversation with the team owning the stupid mistake that I made," Meyer said on Oct. 6. "A job of a coach is No. 1: the health and safety of a player; No. 2: motivating them and bringing out the greatne s in them; No. 3: give them everything po sible to be succe sful and get the heck out of the way. I apologize for this distraction." Eddie Murray Jersey Although Meyer has sounded remorseful during his public interviews, it seems that he sounded even more remorseful during his conversation with Tebow."Coach shared with me that this was one of the hardest times of his life. He apologized, but he didn't need to apologize to me," Tebow said. "I know this has weighed so heavy on his heart. He is hurting. I do think, for some of the guys, he will have to earn back their trust and respect."  Jaguars owner Shad Khan made the some point in his statement about the situation, that Meyer is going to have to earn back the team's trust and respect."I appreciate Urban's remorse, which I believe is sincere," Khan wrote.

"This is a very serious situation, a very disappointing situation, but I also know that coach isn't taking it lightly, and he knows what a big deal this is, how disappointing it is to so many people, and I believe that he wants to make amends, which is very hard and it takes a while. That's the thing about a reputation, it takes a lifetime to build and a moment to lose."Meyer and Tebow have a long history together.

Taylor Swift is once again cheering on boyfriend and tight end Travis Kelce in person, this time at Gillette Stadium as they take on the in Week 15. The singer is in a pre s box for the matchup and going through all the emotions Tanner Rainey Jersey  and frustrations of your average football fan.With just under 11 minutes left in the third quarter, the Chiefs were up 14-10 and were marching toward the end zone, sitting at the Patriots' 14-yard line. On third-and Austin Voth Jersey -7,' pa s intended for Kelce fell incomplete.The camera then panned to Swift, who reacted how most Chiefs fans probably did at home, or in their heads. Swift appeared to yell an following the incomplete pa s. Whether or not she was just mad at James Bourque Jersey  how the drive ended or if she felt Sean Doolittle Jersey  a flag should have been thrown is unknown.The drive ended in a field goal to make it 17-10 Chiefs.  Maybe one day if we're lucky, we will get a song explaining her feelings on the non-TD. Swift was seen in the box with Mahomes' wife Brittany Mahomes, cheering on the away team. At the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs are up 27-10 against the  Kurt Suzuki Jersey Patriots. Kelce has three receptions for 13 yards and no touchdowns so far in the game.

Nothing steers NFL teams quite like quarterbacks. It's po sible, not probable, to win in spite of them. It's preferable, not easy, to land the best of them. They are, more than anyone else, the ones who shape the football landscape, week in and week out.That's why we're ranking all 32 starting signal-callers throughout the 2022 season: to take stock of the most important players in the game, sorting everyone from the bona fide superstars to the QBs who might be worth replacing.Our weekly ranking factors in 1.) current status, 2.) past performanceand 3.) future outlook, indicating which QBs we'd rather have both now and for the remainder of this season. That's why, for example, you'll find ranked ahead of , even though the latter has been surprisingly efficient in Seattle. If you're looking purely for rankings of the best statistical QBs this year, feel free to peruse your nearest pa ser-rating leaderboard. If you're looking for informed but subjective rankings of the NFL's most reliable signal-callers, this is the place.  Now, without further ado, our Week 7 pecking order:Week 7 QB Power Rankings1       Buffalo Bills QB   For the first time this year, it's not up top. In truth, the and have the 1A and 1B of QBs. Allen just happens to bring even more with his perfect blend of size and speed on the ground. As long as he stays healthy, his total package of Superman talents should keep Buffalo on pace with K.C. as the cla s of the AFC. (+1)2       Kansas City Chiefs QB   Mahomes is still the magician of the position, forever capable of fearle s and improbable throws. If he didn't have to rely so much on  Khris Davis Jersey himself and in their offense, he'd remain a lock at No. 1, not having to force one too many balls. (-1)3       Green Bay Packers QB   Don't conflate the ' failure to master the fundamentals, or feed , or field a legit WR corps, with Rodgers' abilities. Yes, Green Bay's offense is in trouble, but imagine if A-Rod played for, say, the or the ; he'd be aces.4       Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB   It's been a mirror image, he and Rodgers this year: while the vision and pa sing touch remain, the reliable strategy and supporting cast does not. Brady could use a lot more help from Byron Leftwich, who's fallen into predictable play-calling.5       Cincinnati Bengals QB   The connection is heating back up, which means the rest of the AFC North -- and the NFL, for that matter -- should be on notice. When he's on, his distribution of the ball is one of the prettiest Matt Joyce Jersey  sights in the league. (+2)6       Los Angeles Chargers QB   Physically and aesthetically, Herbert checks every single box. But a litany of other i sues, whether injuries to his line or conservative play-calling, have seeped into his own decisivene s. (-1)7       Baltimore Ravens QB   Not di similar to Herbert, Jackson has all the requisite talent to take over games, but as the team around him has struggled in different facets, his own decision-making has fluctuated. At least his athleticism will always keep them in it. (-1)8       Philadelphia Eagles QB   Hurts has played basically every role for the unbeaten : lead rusher, big-play thrower, ball-controlling point guard. His temperament -- always unfazed -- has been an underrated a set, as always. (+1)9       Dallas Cowboys QB   His return is finally upon us, it seems. The big question is how long it'll take Dak, who's best known for doing all the little things right in and around the pocket, to settle in after more than a month on the sidelines.10       Los Angeles Rams QB   The ' offensive i sues are a hellish cycle: Stafford gets shoddy protection, then gets especially risky with the ball. But put him behind a better line, and you're still taking his big arm and experience over most starters in this league.11       Minnesota Vikings QB   Captain Kirk isn't lighting up the stat sheet, but he's made just enough situational throws for a team that's playing increasingly good complementary ball. History says his ceiling is solid, not spectacular, but for now, Minnesota is content to win on the margins. (+2)12       Arizona Cardinals QB   It's never a great sign when both your young QB and the coach who handpicked him look progre sively worse four years into their pairing. Murray can scramble his way out of trouble, but it's too rare that he's turning in an efficient stretch of pa sing performances. (-1)13       Denver Broncos QB   No, he's not been the 12th-best QB this year, overcompensating on certain downs to offset Denver's lack of consistent protection or cohesive offensive strategy, but we're still trusting him in a tight spot over some of the guys below. For now. The next question: is he even healthy enough to keep going? (-1)14       Las Vegas Raiders QB   The grittier, more volatile version of , Carr constantly looks like he's playing catch-up, even in games when his take a lead. The leadership is there; the steadine s is not.15       San Francisco 49ers QB   When the running game is doing its thing, he isn't required to win games with his decision-making. That about sums up his role for the , for better or worse.16       Tenne see Titans QB   We'll keep saying it until it proves untrue: he is, functionally, the AFC's version of Garoppolo. As long as is plowing along, Tannehill can serve as the ship's quiet captain.17       Seattle Seahawks QB   How  Joe Morgan Jersey long can Geno's surprising energy translate to efficient, explosive starts? He came back to Earth a bit against Arizona, but Pete Carroll is probably comfortable with him just being a game manager anyway.18       Miami Dolphins QB   Set to return after a two-week absence from head injuries, Tua was emerging as more of a confident downfield arm before his scary exit. The big concern here is durability: how long can he be expected to stay on the field if he takes a big shot or two?19       Jacksonville Jaguars QB   Baby steps. That's what Doug Pederson seems to be looking for now, after Lawrence's ball security (or lack thereof) overshadowed a more confident start to 2022. He showed a lot of poise putting Jacksonville in good position late against the . (-1)20       Pittsburgh Steelers QB   On track to return from concu sion protocol, the feisty rookie brings fight and veteran pocket presence to Pittsburgh's pocket. Hopefully the offensive game plan will be on his side. (+1)21       Indianapolis Colts QB   We're hesitant to crown Ryan after his big day against the , even though his top two wideouts are emerging further, mostly because he's all but a lost cause when the line breaks down. But give him credit for battling through a rough start in Indy. (+2)22       New York Giants QB   Who knows if he'll remain with Big Blue beyond this year, but for now, Jones is proving to be an underrated a set for Brian Daboll's never-say-die competitor, taking care of the ball (!) while leaning mostly on his legs.23       New England Patriots QB   We're still dealing with a small sample size here, but Zappe has been everything the Pats wanted to be during his interim appearances, making smart decisions with a quick release for a team built to lean on the run and defense. (+4)24       Washington Commanders QB   Replacing the injured , he figures to reignite some pa sion with his gutsy penchant for extending plays and taking shots, but the long-term outcome with him under center isn't likely to be a whole lot different behind such a bad line.25       Detroit Lions QB   Goff has flashed his pinpoint accuracy airing it out for a offense with a deep receiving corps, but on the whole, he's still been very mercurial, completing Kendall Graveman Jersey  le s than 60 percent of his throws. They need him to reach another level if they're gonna snap a three-game losing streak. (-6)26       New York Jets QB   The are one of the hottest stories in the NFL for a bunch of reasons other than Wilson, who's mostly stood by as and Robert Saleh's defense have stolen the show. It's tough, then, to properly judge him until he's asked to carry the load again.27       Chicago Bears QB   Week 6's ugly Thursday night lo s to the was proof that Fields and the are working in tandem, often for worse. The kid's got a heck of an arm and can move with the best of them, but there's no structure to his game in such a mi shapen lineup. (-1)28       Atlanta Falcons QB   If he keeps it up, he'll be on the rise before long. Mariota's not been particularly efficient throwing the ball, but he improved in Week 6, and his legs remain a cog of Arthur Smith's  Rickey Henderson Jersey run-heavy attack. (+1)29       New Orleans Saints QB   Dennis Allen might prefer to keep him under center even when is healthy, but now both QBs have bruised backs. Dalton offers a slightly higher floor, perhaps, but neither guy can elevate their injury-riddled roster right now. (-5)30       Cleveland Browns QB   The had the right formula for the : sell out against the run and force Bri sett, a historically conservative inaccurate pa ser, to win through the air. He's fine off the bench, but not for this many games at a time. (-2)31       Houston Texans QB   The best the can hope for is Mills staying out of the way and carrying the offense. It's still not a great setup, but the consistency and situational execution just hasn't been there. (+1)32       Carolina Panthers QB   He exited his emergency start for with an injury of his own but expects to be back against the . Prepare yourselves to see once again. (-2)

Mike Tomlin doesn't find it productive to entertain talks of ever returning to play for the . The former All-Pro receiver may sign a one-day ceremonial contract to retire a Steeler, but the days of wearing the black and gold as a player are in the past."He's moved on, we've moved on," of Brown on The Pivot Podcast.The Steelers' veteran head coach was much more open to discu sing what it was like to watch Brown Glen Perkins Jersey 's transformation from an unheralded rookie to the league's best receiver during their nine seasons together in Pittsburgh. The franchise's single-season record holder for catches, yards, and touchdowns, Brown earned seven Pro Bowl selections, four All-Pro nods and four team MVP awards during his time with the Steelers."What I'll say about AB is this, we had nine great years," Tomlin said. "I appreciate that dude in ways I can't explain to y'all. ... I don't think enough gets said about the will of that dude, about the work ethic of that dude, about the fearle sne s in which he played the game. ... I've never seen him blink on the football field. I' Kennys Vargas Jersey ve never seen him shy away from anything that was uncomfortable on the football field. I've only seen him run into burning buildings, as they say, on the football field. We talk about all this other stuff, but we don't talk about that."Unbelievable will. Unbelievable work ethic. Unbelievable belief in himself. That's what I think about when I think about the nine years  Harmon Killebrew Jersey that I spent with that dude."               TB  WR  #81  Tomlin believes Brown was, at one point, "the best punt returner on the planet." Brown returned four punts for scores as a Steeler, and in his very first NFL regular season game, Brown returned a kickoff 89 yards for a score."The first time he touched the ball in an NFL football game, he ran a kickoff back," Tomlin said of that play. "I had a ringside for all of that special stuff. And so when people want to talk about crazine  Fernando Rodney Jersey s or talk about negativity as it pertains to him, I choose not to participate. I've got so many other things to talk about."  's amazing 71-yard punt return touchdown was celebrated in style  |  NFL UK (@NFLUK)  Tomlin, who continues to be in communication with Brown, said he watched Brown mature as a person as well as a football player. He recalled how he and other members of the team helped Brown raise his first son during his first NFL season. Brown was naive upon his arrival into the NFL, Tomlin said, something that obviously changed as Brown's play and popularity soared over his time in Pittsburgh.Brown has has his trials upon arriving to stardom, something Tomlin acknowledged during the podcast. Tomlin also acknowledged that Brown has overcome obstacles to become the current version of himself. He hasn't handled everything the right way, but as Tomlin alluded to in the podcast, nobody does.  "Succe s, Minnesota Twins Custom Jersey " Tomlin said, "is a slippery red carpet."

Another round of postseason football is well underway, with the advancing to the AFC Championship and the falling just short in their upset bid against the No. 1-seeded on Saturday. Before long, the final four teams will be squaring off for a place in LVIII, which will be broadcast on CBS, Nickelodeon and .Here are some immediate takeaways from Saturday's games:San Francisco is very vulnerableThe  Dwight Gooden Jersey 49ers are tough; we all know that. They were physical and opportunistic on defense here, especially late and in the red zone, and briefly quieted any lingering skeptics by capping an erratic night with a go-ahead touchdown drive. The path to a appearance still looks very feasible. And yet, for a No. 1 seed hosting a No. 7 seed, they barely survived this one on their own gra s. Kyle Shanahan bent conservative in a sluggish first half, probably could've used a dominant even more, and permitted more extracurricular shenanigans from veterans like . Should they remain favorites in the NFC, especially with McCaffrey cooking? Sure. But it's clear they're built to play with a lead, not the other way around.Brighter days should come in Green BayNot entirely di similar to the Texans with C.J. Stroud, the Packers can take solace knowing their franchise appears to be in special hands. wasn't perfect this year -- his fourth in the and first as the Packers' starter -- and  Wilson Ramos Jersey Saturday was no exception, with a late cro s-body pick dooming a potential comeback. But his natural fluidity as an off-balance gunslinger was on full display for much of the night, keeping the 49ers on their toes. Better yet, he's got an array of young weapons -- four different rookies combined to top 2,100 receiving yards in 2023, playoffs included -- that should only improve with more time in Matt LaFleur's creative system. Who knows if will be part of that group, but he gave his all against San Francisco, too.  Baltimore is truly a complete teamMost fans could've told you this before Saturday, but the rout of Houston was a pitch-perfect argument for their chances. Facing a 1-3 career playoff mark, looked precisely like an MVP against ' defense, effortle sly gliding to 100 rushing yards while  Michael Conforto Jersey making all the right reads through the air. Mike Macdonald's Ravens "D" was hyperactive as usual, bottling up Houston's run game to overburden star rookie . And John Harbaugh shepherded the whole thing with championship-caliber flexibility, overseeing halftime adjustments to tighten the screws after a relatively slow start. There may be another hurdle to clear before a fight for the Lombardi, but it's clear this club is the total package.It's time for the Texans to restock the trenchesC.J. Stroud proved long ago that he's the present and future face of the team, showcasing unusually polished pocket presence and downfield decision-making as a  Gary Carter Jersey rookie quarterback. But too often against Baltimore's front he was forced to escape the pocket, extend plays and/or run gadget calls to offset regular pre sure. The Ravens are elite in that regard, but if Houston intends to capitalize on Stroud's franchise ability and make an immediate playoff leap next time around, bolstering his front will be paramount. DeMeco Ryans' defense needs its own tweaks, too, but Stroud works best when he has time to unleash his arm inside the pocket, and that's a lot harder to do without reliable protection or ground support.  The AFC Championship is gonna be must-see TVNot that the Texans wouldn't have made the conference title game intriguing, but now we're guaranteed a duel between Lamar Jackson  Jeff McNeil Jersey and either or , pitting two of the most explosive young QBs against each other. No matter who wins Sunday's tilt between Buffalo and Kansas City, the league will be celebrating.
