In the end, it turns out Terrell Suggs gave his Pro Bowl vote to Tom Brady after all.

With Michael Vick out, Kevin Kolb becomes a great sleeper in fantasy leagues for Week 17.

NFL Network insiders Jason La Canfora and Michael Lombardi doubled up on the Around the League desk on Wednesday, taking a look at coaches considered to be on the hot seat.
