Impressive stat by the New England Patriots, particularly with so many of their big weapons missing throughout the year. Never underestimate the power of Brady.

A season of ups and downs for the Packers, but you can’t question the return of the ultimate MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Whew close one for the #niners. Steelers fans have to be sick at how they appeared in and now are out. #chargers didn't make it easy

49ers legend Jerry Rice breathes a sigh of relief with the rest of 49ers fans as they squeeze out a win. His words will offer little comfort to Steelers fans however.
everything didn't go as I hoped but I couldn't ask for a better rookie season…I'm just thankful to finish healthy!

Despite being likely to miss out on Rookie of the Year, LeVeon Bell has fully supported coach Mike Tomlin’s claim that choosing him ahead of Packers RB Eddie Lacey was an “easy decision”. Bell’s undoubtedly a shining light within the Steelers disappointing season.
If Demarco Murray was to square me up and hit me like he hit 77… I'd poop… No doubt about it.. I'd poop my pants.. Right there on TV

Colts punter Pat McAfee admits he wouldn’t fancy lineing up as a defenseman against Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. Who said all footballers were tough guys?!
