Chiefs 22, Browns 17 – After losing Mahomes, Chiefs and Henne hold off Browns 22-17
The Kansas City Chiefs forced the Cleveland Browns to punt in the waning minutes Sunday with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes out with a concussion. Then 35-year-old backup Chad Henne showed some moxie with a long third-down scramble and a fourth-down completion to Tyreek Hill with just over a minute left to give the Chiefs a first down and allowing them to run out the clock on a 22-17 victory in the divisional round of the playoffs. They advanced to their third straight AFC title game and will face the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
Buccaneers 30, Saints 20 – Brady, Bucs, end playoffs for Saints, Brees, 30-20
Tom Brady’s best game in three tries against New Orleans has the Buccaneers moving on in the NFL playoffs and Saints quarterback Drew Brees headed home — perhaps for good. Brady and the Bucs’ offense turned three of the Saints' four turnovers, which included three Brees interceptions, into touchdowns, and Tampa Bay beat New Orleans 30-20 in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Two touchdowns came on short passes to Mike Evans and Leonard Fournette. Brady also scored on a 1-yard run. The Bucs advanced to the NFC championship game in Green Bay.

NCAAFB - Michigan hires Ravens' Macdonald as defensive coordinator
Michigan hired Baltimore Ravens linebacker coach Mike Macdonald as its new defensive coordinator. The 33-year-old Macdonald replaces Don Brown, who recently became the defensive coordinator at Arizona. It’s a significant hire for Michigan, which is trying to find its footing under coach Jim Harbaugh after going 2-4 in this abbreviated season. Macdonald worked for Harbaugh’s brother, John, with the Ravens. The Ravens were eliminated from the playoffs in a loss to Buffalo on Saturday night.
