First the silly from Super Bowl week: The NFC defeated the AFC 66-52 in the Pro Bowl on Tuesday night. It was a flag football game that featured Shedeur Sanders, an 18-point NFC rally, and Micah Parsons and his recovering knee venturing onto the field multiple times on a motorized scooter he called “Steve McQueen.”
It was quite the pivot from Monday’s serious talk from commissioner Roger Goodell.

As for news involving people who will be more directly involved in Super Bowl LX between New England and Seattle, the latest Hall of Fame buzz was a report that Patriots owner Robert Kraft missed the cut to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kraft joins Bill Belichick on the HOF sideline.
New England head coach Mike Vrabel didn’t conduct an outrage Olympics similar to just about everyone last week when Belichick was left out, but he did voice his support for Kraft’s inclusion into the HOF.
As for the Seahawks (yeah, those guys, the favorites in this contest), Sam Darnold continues to get his flowers and soak in the spotlight as the most unlikely starting Super Bowl QB we’ve seen this century. That’ll continue until Sunday’s kickoff.

And though the head coach vacancies are filled for now (don’t ask Klint Kubiak about the Raiders job), there are still several offensive and defensive coordinator openings to watch as the weeks roll on.

On a scramble, Shedeur Sanders was flagged for “flag guarding.”
He rebounded on the same drive with a TD pass to Houston’s Nico Collins.
In a sideline interview with ESPN, Sanders denied flag guarding, saying he was instead trying to prevent defenders from stepping on his Nike Prime shoes.

Perhaps if the Broncos gave this guy the ball, they would’ve put up more than 7 points in the AFC title game.

A penalty wiped out a scoring catch by AFC offensive tackle Garett Bolles. So it was nice to see Shedeur Sanders and the AFC go back to the big man.

NBC commentator and former NFL coach Tony Dungy is a Hall of Fame voter this year, but he didn’t say whether or not he voted for Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. Both reportedly missed out on HOF induction this year.
The official vote will be revealed Thursday.

Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love at media day, giving props to New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye for his ability to make all the throws and create opportunities with his legs when the play collapses.
Maye rushed for 450 yards in the regular season for 4.4 yards per attempt. Through three playoff games, Maye has rushed for 141 yards on 5.9 yards per attempt. So it’s safe to say his legs could be a major factor in the outcome of Super Bowl LX.

Mike MacDonald spent a minute discussing Seattle’s version of the controversial “tush push” play made popular in the past few years by the Philadelphia Eagles. He said it’s been a great play for them in short-yardage situations, and the team loves running it, especially tight end A.J. Barner.
Last season, a ban on the play was proposed, but it survived. There’s a chance it could be voted on again this offseason.
