...unlikely just because no one thought these two teams had a chance in H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks before the season; it's most unlikely because just a few years ago, St. Louis and Nashville didn't even have NFL teams...
...blacked out its Fox network from three Cox Cable systems. The reason? Cox is refusing to carry two new Fox channels on all of its cable systems. Cox says the timing is a low blow since it leaves Virginia and Texas residents without TV access to their local NFL teams just as the playoffs are beginning.

And in the B2B league there's no team...
...JOHN ELWAY After nearly a lifetime of playing the loser, the NFL's greatest comeback strategist applied that same skill to his career, winning a second Super Bowl before deciding his pained body couldn't handle any more. You can credit the coaching, the line or Terrell Davis, but the Broncos collapsed when Elway left...
