Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. Last week, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to have a passer rating in each of his first two playoff starts exceed 120.

The Rooster is going to get his chance in Miami. The Dolphins will be turning to Tyler Thigpen – the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer — following injuries to the hanging Chads, Pennington and Henne.

Chad Henne, who had already replaced injured starter Chad Pennington, left Sunday’s game against the Titans late during the third quarter with a left knee injury.

Chad Pennington’s run as the Dolphins’ starting QB lasted all of two plays Sunday.

Former Seahawks coach Jim Mora is still bitter over his ouster in Seattle, and pulled no punches during a recent interview on The Kevin Calabro Show on Monday afternoon on ESPN 710 in Seattle.

The Vikings have a genuine interest in former Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson according to a report in the Star Tribune. The Vikings are looking for a reliable backup to RB Adrian Peterson after losing former understudy Chester Taylor to Chicago at the beginning of free agency.
