The holidays are a magical time of the year. Families come together, communities help the needy, and almost anything is possible. Including miracles. Several NFL teams are in need of such a miracle, whether for a playoff run or long-term future of their franchise. Here’s a run-down of which NFL teams are in need of a little magic this holiday season:

Coach Jim Caldwell‘s future with the Colts remains unknown, and the team remains hamstrung until they know the status of franchise QB Peyton Manning.

Monday could set the stage for significant transition around the NFL, with a laundry list of coaches and general managers resting on the hot seat. NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi and Jason La Canfora visited the “NFL GameDay Morning” set on Sunday to share what they’ve heard about the changes to come.

If you missed Monday’s night’s Halloween thriller in Kansas City, tune in to NFL Network Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET for an enhanced replay of the Chargers’ devastating overtime loss to the surging Chiefs.

Here are a few things that caught my attention after our first full Sunday of the season.

What coaches Bill Belichick and Jim Caldwell lack in on-screen charisma, they really show their acting chops when submitting a weekly practice report. Of course, the mind games are at a fever pitch when the hottest NFL rivalry of the past 10 years gets renewed on Sunday.

Colts president Bill Polian met with the media Friday and had no interest in revisiting his biting comments about his team following its Super Bowl XLIV defeat.

Torry Holt enjoyed some of his best years under Mike Martz‘s tutelage in St. Louis. So now that Holt has been released by the Jaguars and Martz is the Bears’ offensive coordinator, should we expect a reunion in Chicago?

Coach Jim Caldwell was the first to speak at the Colts’ arrival news conference Monday. As expected, the first questions were about DE Dwight Freeney, who according to the Colts

Colts coach Jim Caldwell appeared on SIRIUS NFL Radio with Adam Schein and Rich Gannon on Monday and confirmed what a team spokesman said about Dwight Freeney the previous day.

In a few ways, the Monday of Super Bowl Week is the calm before the storm.

The Colts downgraded CB Jerraud Powers from questionable to doubtful for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Jets because of a left foot injury that kept him out of practice all week.

As The Great Debate rages in Indianapolis and throughout Colts Nation, Colts fans are stark-raving mad.

Texans coach and fantasy pooh-bah Gary Kubiak is going to tweak his running back rotation. Well, of course he is. The guy buried Steve Slaton after a promising rookie career, what could he possibly do for an encore? Bring back Earl Campbell for a game?

Jets coach Rex Ryan admitted Monday he’s bothered by the perception that the Colts handed their Week 16 game to the Jets by resting QB Peyton Manning and other key players.
