Josh Reynolds Surpasses 70 Yards
1/21:Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds was mostly quiet in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, but was able to still make an impact. Reynolds caught four of his seven targets for 74 yards against the Saints. He's the No. 3 receiver on the team, so you can't expect much more out of Reynolds. It was a fairly solid game for Reynolds, but Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods have earned bigger roles on the team.Source: Yahoo
Robert Woods Finishes with Six Receptions
1/21:Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was not able to find much yardage, but was able to help his team to victory against the Saints. Woods caught six of his 10 targets for 33 yards on Sunday. It was not the best game from Woods, but he was able to make an impact despite finishing with less than 40 total yards. He should get more chances to rebound against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.Source: Yahoo
Brandin Cooks Goes For 107 Yards
1/21:Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks played excellent versus the Saints in the NFC Championship game on Sunday. Cooks caught all seven of his targets for 107 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He put in work against his former team and was a huge reason why the Rams won that game.

C.J. Anderson Takes On Bigger Role Versus Saints
1/21:Los Angeles Rams running back C.J. Anderson took on the role of lead back for the Rams after Todd Gurley was forced to the sideline for most of the game. Anderson rushed 16 times for 44 yards and caught one pass for five yards versus the Saints. He was not able to do much damage, but the Saints have one of the best run defenses in the league.

Titans Promote Arthur Smith To Offensive Coordinator
1/21:The Tennessee Titans promoted tight ends coach Arthur Smith to be their offensive coordinator on Monday.

They also finished 27th in the NFL by averaging just 19.4 points per game.

Drew Brees Plans To Return For Another Season
1/21:New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who turned 40 years old last Tuesday, plans to return for his 19th season in 2019.

Brees also broke Peyton Manning's NFL record for career passing yards during the season. He finished with 3,992 yards (74.4 completion percentage), 32 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

Todd Gurley Says He's Not Injured

James White Totals 72 Yards From Scrimmage In Win
1/21:New England Patriots running back James White caught four passes for 49 yards, including 23 rushing yards, in the team's 37-31 win over the Chiefs to advance to the Super Bowl. One week after White caught 15 passes, the veteran running back was targeted only six times in the passing game. White already has one Super Bowl MVP under his belt and has enjoyed a career season with 85 receptions and 12 total touchdowns. He will certainly have to share time in the backfield with teammates Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead but White will see plenty of action against the Rams on February 3.Source: New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski Comes Up Big In The Clutch
1/21:New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski caught six passes for 79 yards in the Patriots 37-31 win over the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Gronk was targeted a team-high 11 times and delivered some huge plays in the wild final minutes of the game. He was counted on to pick up some huge first downs, none more important than a big-time 25-yard catch to set up a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. Gronkowski has not looked like himself this season but with one game left, the Patriots will do all they can to unleash Gronk against the Rams in the Super Bowl on February 3.Source: New England Patriots
Sony Michel Scores Two Touchdowns As Patriots Reach Super Bowl
1/21:New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 29 times for 113 yards with two touchdowns in the Patriots 37-31 victory over the Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl. The rookie running back was fantastic from the jump and the Patriots leaned on him to move the chains. Michel punched in a 1-yard score to get New England on the board and then sprinted untouched for a 10-yard score in the fourth quarter. Michel is hot at the right time and will have tons of sleeper potential as a possible Super Bowl MVP heading into the Patriots matchup against the Rams on February 3.Source: New England Patriots
Julian Edelman Delivers 96 Tough Yards In Thriller
1/21:New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught seven passes for 96 yards in the Patriots 37-31 overtime win over the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Edelman was quiet for most of the game but was heavily targeted in the games final minutes, delivering clutch catch after catch.

When the chips were down, the Patriots put the ball in Brady's hands and delivered strike after strike as the team scored 20 points in the final quarter in addition to overtime. Brady will now play in his ninth Super Bowl on February 3, striving to win an all-time record sixth Super Bowl.Source: New England Patriots
