TE , : will get all the attention, but the hard-nosed O'Leary will find ways -- small and large -- of being a contributor.60.

Playoffs? You're talking about playoffs? You're damn right we are! The NFL's regular season came to a close last week and now the path to Super Bowl LV has been set and will kick off in just a few days with Super Wild-Card Weekend. Week 17 proved to have a flair for the dramatics as this playoff picture continued to come into focus and that level of suspense likely will carry over into the postseason with a number of juicy matchups on the slate.Which ones are the best? Well, that's what we are here to figure out today as we're set to rank all six of these matchups that'll occur over the course of Saturday and Sunday. Of course, some already have built-in storylines that make it a bit obvious to tell why they are set to be fantastic games while others are starting to create some spice this week whether it be due to injury questions or bulletin board material. What's great about this list is that even the least anticipated game is going to be exciting, which sets up a great weekend of football for all of us.1. at Sunday, 1:05 p.m. ET (ABC, ESPN)I mean, how do you not put this as No. 1? These two teams have some recent history together and don't seem to like one another very much. Prior to their matchup in Week 11, Titans corner and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh got into a verbal altercation that had nearly both sidelines go to blows at midfield.Malcolm Butler wants a piece of John Harbaugh! Jordan Dajani (@ Darryl Strawberry Jersey JordanDajani) From there, that game needed overtime to determine a winner, which came courtesy of , who rushed for a walk-off touchdown. This game is also a rematch of last year's Divisional Round where Tenne see was able to upset Baltimore, 28-12 Dwight Gooden Jersey . That gives the Titans a 2-0 record over these Ravens over their previous two matchups and Baltimore will certainly be looking for some revenge early on Sunday.This game also has plenty of star power with , and Derrick Henry all slated to go. Jackson has been ripping through the league as of late and has recently looked like the MVP version of himself from 2019. Since returning from COVID in Week 13, Jackson has completed 67% of his pa ses and thrown 11 touchdowns with just three interceptions. He's also rushed for 430 yards and four more scores. Meanwhile, Henry is hot off a 250 rushing yard performance against the where he ama sed 2,000 rushing yards for the season.2. at Saturday 1:05 p.m. ET (CBS)Want a fun fact? Prior to this season, the Colts -- who now play in the AFC South -- had a more recent AFC East championship than the Buffalo Bills. For the first time since 1995, Sean McDermott's team was able to win the division and are now looking for their first playoff win since that '95 season on Saturday when they host the Colts. Buffalo has been must-see TV for the bulk of this season and has largely been due to the MVP-caliber play of . They come into the playoffs winning six straight games by double digits and had not caught that ridiculous Hail Hary back in Week 10, Buffalo would be riding a 10-game winning streak.As things stand on the doorstep of the playoffs, the Bills look like the team most equipped to po sibly dethrone the in the AFC. If they can continue this strong play when the lights get even brighter, confidence should build even more which is why this game is so fascinating.Meanwhile, you have a Colts team led by who is trying to make one last push for that elusive Super Bowl. Indy has a defense that can crash any playoff party, especially with residing in that front seven. This had the potential of having the highest drama as these clubs are evenly matched.Also, having a small contingent of Bills Mafia in the stands for this game brings with it another form of entertainment. 3. at Sunday, 4:40 p.m. ET (CBS)This game is interesting from the standpoint of what it could mean going forward. For New Orleans, it's expected that is going to retire after this season, which means any one of these contests could be the last we see of this all-time great. That on its own almost makes this game mandatory viewing. On the other side, if continues to play well, he could extend his rise from the dead and solidify his future with the Bears going forward. If he pulls off the upset and Chicago somehow wins, you can e sentially take it to the bank that he's there for 2021 and beyond.This game also has a couple of the hottest backs in the NFL in and . While Kamara mi sed last week's finale against due to a positive COVID-19 test, he is slated to return this week and provide an encore to his six-touchdown performance the last time he was on the field. Meanwhile, Montgomery has been a monster since Week 12, totaling 824 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns over six games. With the Saints, they are looked at as one of the Super Bowl favorites Gary Carter Jersey and if receiver can return to form after ending the year on IR, that makes New Orleans even more dangerous in the weeks ahead. SpongeBob, Slime, and Googly Eyes, and will present the NFL like youve NEVER seen it before on Wild Card Weekend. Details on the January 10 broadcast here: CBS Sports (@CBSSports) This game will also be broadcasted on Nickelodeon which adds the po sibility of someone getting slimmed, which adds to the fun.4. at WashingtonSaturday, 8:15 p.m. ET (NBC) added some spice to this matchup after winning the NFC East on Sunday . It's probably never wise for someone to poke the bear like this and Bruce Arians even acknowledged that saying, That bulletin board material for Tampa Bay does give us some extra juice heading into Saturday, but that's not the main reason why this game has so much intrigue. As is almost always the case, it comes down to the quarterbacks.For Brady, this is his first bid for a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick by his side, and if he's able to go on a run that only furthers his case of being the key cog in New England all those years. The 43-year-old comes into the playoffs in peak form, averaging 333.3 pa sing yards while totaling 12 touchdowns and just one interception over his final four games of the regular season. Tampa Bay has all the talent on offense and defense to go on a deep run and if they start to click, they could be dangerous.With Washington, they are the perfect Cinderella story. story has Comeback Player of the Year written all over it and Ron Rivera was able to lead his team to a division title while battling cancer. In my book, it's the best story in the NFL in 2020 and just getting to this Jay Bruce Jersey point is an accomplishment. If they can pull out a playoff win, it's one for the history books. 5. at Sunday, 8:15 p.m. (NBC)This game quite po sibly could be higher on this list, but the lo s of head coach Kevin Stefanski for the Browns due to COVID-19 does kind of Tug McGraw Jersey take the wind out of the sails in this game a bit. Still, it'll be nice to see Cleveland in the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and, as long as the COVID-19 situation doesn't continue to run through the organization, you can never go wrong with two division rivals going toe-to-toe. What also gives me pause about putting this game a bit higher on this list is Cleveland's starters having trouble handling Pittsburgh's B Team led by in Week 17. If they bring that same effort into Super Wild-Card Weekend, , who is 12-0 against Cleveland in his career, could have his way with this Browns club.6. at Saturday, 4:40 p.m. ET (FOX)This is another game that could be higher on this list if certain pieces were a bit more clear. With the Rams quarterback situation still uncertain, it takes a bit of the excitement out of this NFC West matchup between L.A. and Seattle. If plays, we're in for a more competitive matchup. If starts, however, it just doesn't have the same appeal even if Sean McVay coaches his team up the way he can to put them in a position to win.That said, the Seahawks are coming into the playoffs a little under the radar. While the defense had a horrid start to the year, they've been much better as of late, allowing just 16 points per game over the last eight games (fewest in the NFL). If and can continue to lead that unit and maintain that level of play to pair alongside and their offense, Seattle could be a sleeper team in the NFC.

Lille are beginning to look like the team that won the title last year.A double from Jonathan David gave Jocelyn Gourvennecs men a deserved win Jack Ham Jersey over a drifting Marseille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.Lille started in a 4-4-2 with Burak Yilmaz and Jonathan David. Marseille announced a 3-5-2, but it was often closer to a 4-4-2 as Luan Peres and Pol Lirola drifted in and out of defence. Dimitri Payet, out with a minor injury, was sorely mi sed. Lille looked strong and Marseille had to tackle aggre sively to keep them Eli Rogers Jersey under control in the early stages. But they barely pre sed in Lilles half and Burak Yilmaz was slightly unlucky not to win a penalty in the 21st minute. The reigning champions converted in the 28th minute when Zeki elik cro sed to David. Marseilles William Saliba blocked the ball before losing track of it, and David poked home at the near post.Lille had the ball in the net again on the stroke of half-time, but Duje aleta-Car had taken a vital step upfield to ensure that Yilmaz was offside. Marseille started the second half Heath Miller Jersey with more intensity, Gerson and Matto Guendouzi both Donnie Shell Jersey shooting far over.Yilmaz was awarded a penalty on the 66th minute after falling over in the box near Saliba, a call that was quickly reversed. Yilmaz received a yellow for complaining and should have received a second yellow for simulation. Chaos followed shortly after as Jonathan Ikon hit the cro sbar and then the side post in the 73rd and 76th minutes, bracketing a mi s from David when it looked far easier to score.The match was e sentially decided when Cengiz nder was handed a harsh second yellow on 77 minutes for a high boot on Gabriel Gudmund son, who had run in from behind him.Down to ten men, Marseille couldnt create anything of note, and David sealed the three points from Yusuf Yazcs cro s with the Ryan Shazier Jersey last kick.Read: .

EAST RUTHERFORD. N.J. (AP) Tommy DeVito didn't put up great numbers against the Dallas Cowboys in becoming the first undrafted rookie to start at quarterback for the New York Nick Martini Jersey Giants in modern draft era.His 14 of 27 performance for 86 yards came against one of the NFL's top defenses in a 49-17 lo s. While he threw two touchdowns, one came very late and the other was early in the second half with New York down 28-0.The positive DeVito and the Giants (2-8) was that he learned, he was better than the week before when he replaced an injured Daniel Jones in the second quarter against Las Vegas and his confidence wasn't shaken despite tweaking his left shoulder in the fourth quarter.If there is one thing about DeVito, the 25-year-old is confident. That's what he will bring to the Washington area Sunday when he leads Brian Daboll's struggling offense against the Commanders.ADVERTISEMENT DeVito, who grew up about 20 minutes from the Meadowlands, called his first start bittersweet.I felt better as the game went on, he said. In the second half I think the offense did a better job executing but it was too late at that point. But I think we Greg Garcia Jersey ended off on a good note and we are carrying some of that energy going into practice this week.In reviewing his performance, DeVito was annoyed with his deep pa s to Jalin Hyatt in the third quarter that DaRon Bland intercepted. Hyatt seemed to have a step on Malik Hooker, but Bland who had the deep coverage area, read it all the way.DeVito said he was too aggre sive and didn't pick up It was a typical rookie mistake.Daboll was quick to shoot down any thought of starting veteran Matt Barkley this week with Jones (ACL) out for the season and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) still on injured reserve. Daboll called DeVito a good young quarterback who is trying to improve.Hes done a good job, Daboll said Wednesday. Improving, hes a young Jose Castillo Jersey player, hes a young quarterback so a lot of things you go through. Well see if we can get him better this week than he was last week.Receiver Darius Slayton loves DeVito's attitude. He has great natural confidence, which gives you a leg up, Slayton said. "Once you have that, its just time to Dave Winfield Jersey go out there and put together positive plays and your confidence will grow.Tight end Lawrence Cager, who caught a from DeVito, said he has more than confidence.The moment is not too big for him, Cager said. "Sometimes, for some of these guys, it gets too big. Im proud of him for that. Hes getting better every week. Everybody in this locker room sees it. Its just credit to him what hes embraced, the challenge hes been given. I just think hed keep getting better. Through it all DeVito keeps smiling. He laughed about the reaction his father, Tom, showed on the big screen in Dallas after the Cowboys stopped Saquon Barkley for no gain on a fourth-and-2 from the Dallas 4 with New York down 7-0 in the second quarter. He still grins about the publicity he is getting because he lives at home and his love of thin-sliced, crispy chicken parmesan sandwiches. What hasn't changed for DeVito is the game.Theres a lot of negativities going on with how our season Chase Headley Jersey has been going, he said. Just enjoy it, youre in the NFL, youre, whatever it is, below 1 percent. Just enjoy the moment, be here, enjoy playing football for your job and just go out and give it all you have.___AP NFL:

If anyone knows the heat Pete Carroll is taking after the ' final Luis Perdomo Jersey offensive play in their lo s, it's Jim Harbaugh. took major heat in 2013 after his goal-line offense threw three pa ses and never gave the ball to running back inside the 5-yard line in the lo s to the . On Friday, the current University of Michigan coach told he believed the made a good call, but cornerback just made a better play. "I really thought they had a good play call, Aaron Loup Jersey " Harbaugh said. "That was an insightful play against the goal-line defense. A really neat combination that they had, was an inside pick play."It really was open and that young man from the made a play, that is a play the stars of the game don't make, and he made Blake Snell Jersey a play that was -- at best that ball gets knocked down and incomplete, but to make an interception on that play was, what a phenomenal play. That was a play of a lifetime and all credit to him for making it." Harbaugh said similar to how he was critiqued for not giving the ball to Gore in 2013, it's an easy play to criticize in hindsight. "They still had two downs to Ian Kinsler Jersey give the ball to ," he said. "In that situation, I said that before, after it's over, yeah you would love to go back and try a running play, giving it to and see how that would have worked out after you know how the other worked out but that's football, that's the game. My opinion was it was a good play call and an incredible Dinelson Lamet Jersey play by the ." The latest Podcast and plays a free agency edition of "Who Do You Trust?" Find more content on .

The 2020 will look significantly different from the group that ended the 2019 Babe Ruth Jersey season. For starters, the Panthers made a coaching change, replacing Ron Rivera with Matt Rhule, who served as Baylor's coach the previous three years. On the field, the Panthers made a plethora of moves, starting with the release of former league MVP, . Carolina replaced Newton with , signing the veteran quarterback to a three-year, $63 million deal. Speaking of contracts, the Panthers also made the NFL's highest-paid running back by coming to terms on a four-year, $64 million extension.During the draft, the Panthers made history by using all seven of their picks on the defensive side of the ball. Specifically, the Panthers added several big pieces to their defensive line, including first-round pick , second-round pick and sixth-round pick , who played for Rhule at Baylor. Carolina's four other picks included safety , cornerback Jr., safety Jr., and cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver III.Now that we've spent some time recapping their offseason, let's take a look at five of the Panthers' biggest position battles heading into training camp.1. SS: vs. Jeremy ChinnCarolina traded up to acquire Chinn with the 64th pick in the draft, which should tell you how much they value his potential. And while Chinn is expected to be the Panthers' starting strong safety at some point, don't be surprised if Burris, a free agent signing who is coming off his best season to date, is Carolina's starter when the open the season against the . The main question Matt Barnes Jersey surrounding Chinn is how the Panthers plan to use him, as the Panthers believe that his athleticism may allow him to line up at other spots if he is not a Week 1 starter."I think we look at him as a guy who can be trained as a safety and (play) as a nickel, SAM. He'll be able to go out and play No. 2 to the field," Rhule said of Chinn, via The Charlotte Observer. " He can also be able to come back in nickel and dime. Maybe even be able to defend some of the backs and tight ends. I think when you look at the NFC South and you see the tight ends that we have to face, when you see the running backs that we have to face, having guys like Chinn that can give us some match ups against those guys."2. CB: vs. Troy Pride Jr.The Panthers had a lot of turnover in their secondary this offseason. They did not bring back , or , replacing them with Pride, Thomas-Oliver and Apple, a former first-round pick who made 15 starts for the last season. is the team's bets cornerback, but they need a proven No. 2 opposite him. Eli Apple appears to be the favorite here, but fans should not rule out Pride, who has already gotten the attention of his new head coach."I had a great video conference with him one day," Rhule said of Pride, "and my wife was actually cooking on the other side where I was doing the video conference and afterward she said, 'Who was that? That's a profe sional.' Just a really, really mature guy and he's played a lot of football. So in a year where there is no offseason program, no OTAs as of right now, I think he has the maturity to come in and help us in training camp."As Rhule alluded to, Kevin Plawecki Jersey the cancellation of OTAs and minicamps is something to consider when looking at position battles between veterans and rookies. But with that being said, the rookies who were diligent with their individual preparation over the past several months could very well be in the thick of things as far as position battles are concerned. It appears that Pride, who was also a succe sful sprinter on Notre Dame's track team, could parlay his preparation into a starting job.3. RG: Michael Schofield vs. Center and right tackle appear to be the only returning starters from Carolina's offensive line. Right guard , the Panthers' lone Pro Bowler on the offensive line a year ago, was traded for , a two-time Pro Bowl left tackle for the and . The team also went out and signed , a six-year veteran with 60 career starts under his belt. With Miller slated to be the team's new left guard, the Panthers' vacancy at right guard will likely come down to Schofield and Daley.Daley, a six-round pick in the 2019 draft, was forced to play early last season and it showed, specifically when it came to pa s protection. That being said, that experience should help him as he looks to start on a full-time basis in 2020. Standing in his way is Schofield, a seven-year veteran who served as the ' starting right tackle when Denver defeated Carolina in Super Bowl 50. Along with his experience, Schofield's previous time working with several Panthers should also work in his favor. He played with Okung and for current Panthers offensive line coach Pat Meyer in Los Angeles. He also spent three seasons in Denver with Paradis, a fellow member of the Broncos' 2014 draft cla s.4. Backup QB: vs. P.J. WalkerWhile Bridgewater is firmly entrenched as the team's starting quarterback, the same can't be said about who will back him up. Grier, a third-round pick in the 2019 draft, made two starts as a rookie, throwing four interceptions while completing le s than 54% of his pa ses. Grier's familiarity with his returning teammates should give him some sort of advantage heading into camp.Walker, who played for Rhule at Temple from 2013-16, was on pace to become the XFL's MVP this past spring before the league's shutdown. In J. D. Martinez Jersey leading the Houston Roughnecks to a 5-0 start, Walker threw for 1,388 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. Walker, who has been living in Charlotte for the last several months, has been preparing for the season by training with several NFL players, including starting quarterback . The quarterbacks have been training with former Duke quarterback."He's a guy that with the right opportunity, right time, right circumstances, he'll do the same thing in the NFL," Boone said of Walker, via The Observer. "He's sharp, he's polished."5. LB: Tahir Whitehead vs. Jermaine CarterThe Panthers said goodbye to a franchise legend when Luke Kuechly retired, and though the team made defense its priority in the draft, Roger Clemens Jersey they did not bring in a clear heir apparent this offseason to line up next to Shaq Thompson on the second level of the defense. The one addition they did make comes in the form of Tahir Whitehead, who struggled defending the pa s last season with the Raiders.Whitehead's experience might give him the early edge in this battle, but the door is clearly open for one of the team's young players to kick it in and claim the opportunity to replace Kuechly. Jermaine Carter is the more interesting of the third-year players, a fifth-round pick who racked up double-digit tackles in the season finale against the Saints. Andre Smith, selected two rounds after Carter in 2018, is likely an afterthought unle s he can wow the coaching staff during camp.And then there's Christian Miller, a pa s-rushing specialist who could be a factor as an outside linebacker but isn't a like-for-like replacement for what Kuechly brings to the table. While he or Smith could be a factor, the coaching staff will likely be happy if the young Carter can take charge of this battle during the month of August.

Tulane cornerback Lorenzo Do s, who had 15 interceptions in three seasons with the Green Wave, announced via Twitter that he is giving up his senior season and heading to the Mike Moustakas Jersey NFL. Do s (5-foot-11, 187 pounds) also had 20 pa Brad Boxberger Jersey s breakups in his career. Do s has good speed and great instincts, and was a three-year starter for the Green Wave. Do s, who is 20, never redshirted and had five picks as a true freshman. He had Homer Bailey Jersey seven interceptions as a sophomore in 2013, taking two back for TDs and leading the nation with 185 return yards. This season, he had three picks and nine breakups. As with any player, his pre-draft workouts will be important. But Do s might be scrutinized a bit more because teams always need corners. His size is fine and his production excellent, and his 40 times, especially, will Lucas Duda Jersey draw interest. He looks to be a mid-round pick, which means he could Ryan Goins Jersey go late on the second day but also last until midway through the third day.

Let's face it, finding unique and meaningful jewelry is like searching for gold. The majority of portions are either too religious to be stylish or too ostentatious to have a heart.

Whether you want to add intensity to your everyday attire or are dressing up for a formal event, Kyanite does the job—and does it exceptionally well.

Presenting Kyanite: the Unconventional Gem

Have you ever met someone who is calm, quiet, and simply amazing? That is kyanite's gemstone structure. Despite not aiming to be the center of attention, it steals the show. Because of its natural striations and deep blue coloring, which frequently seem to exchange with the mild, kyanite feels alive. It's similar to donning a portion of the sky that combines a typhoon and a dawn at the same time.

However, there are other factors at play here besides appearances. Kyanite is a powerful force in the world of crystals. It all boils down to the alignment of the body, mind, and soul. People who wear Kyanite earrings often describe how it makes them feel more in control and centered. Consider life as a compass that gently points you back toward your true north when things get chaotic. Let's face it, we could all use a bit more of that.

The reason behind Kyanite rings Make for the best conversation

Each beginning ring is unique. You see them every time you reach for something, type, or shake your palms. They have an excellent impact on your day-to-day activities. When you wear one of these amazing Kyanite jewelry pieces, people start talking. Not in a flashy, "examine me" kind of way, but in a "wow, that's exclusive" kind.

Kyanite is not your typical polished, uniform stone. It frequently has natural ridges and streaks that each tell a story. Like a fingerprint, every ring is incredibly accurate. Whether it is set in silver for a cool, earthy vibe or framed in gold for a touch of elegance, a kyanite ring is effortlessly stylish with just the right amount of mystique.

The worst part is that open verbal exchange is thought to be sold by Kyanite. Therefore, if you tend to keep your reality to yourself or if you really need to speak with a little more confidence, wearing that ring on your finger might give you that extra push.

The durability and beauty of kyanite pendants

Kyanite pendants come in a wide variety of designs, from sharply polished cabochons that gleam like glass to rough-cut slabs that appear as though they were just picked up off the ground. There might be a kyanite pendant that matches your style exactly.

These sections are very beneficial in both formal and informal settings. It instantly improves your outfit when you pair it with jeans and a t-shirt.

Jewelry made of kyanite: A gentle spark with soul

Have you ever had days when you just wanted something small to make your experience special? Jewelry made of kyanite can help with that. Like the frosting on the cake, they don't beg for attention, but once you have it, it's difficult to avoid.

Depending on the cut and design, kyanite earrings may appear icy-cool or ocean-deep. The stone is great at catching the light and adding a bit more intensity to your appearance because of its natural sheen. And despite the beautiful glint, their significance is what really makes them stand out.

Jewelry placed near temples is in line with the mind and concept if you enjoy painting with electricity. So you're wearing kyanite? It acts as a gentle reminder to maintain your integrity and composure. Even if you don't believe the full vibe, they're just beautiful.

Why Are Kyanite Rings So Particular?

Jewelry is everywhere in the arena. It is soulless, even though the majority of its users find it adorable. Kyanite jewelry, on the other hand, is intense. It seems to have been planned. Wearing kyanite enhances readability, balance, and purpose in addition to being a stylish accessory.

It's especially introverted in the gemstone industry. This is not as loud as diamonds. No longer as well-known as sapphires. But once you find it, it stays with you. It turns into a somewhat covert tool that helps you maintain your composure even in tumultuous circumstances.

It also gets along well with others. When worn alone or stacked with other earrings, it looks fantastic. Additionally, since kyanite isn't very common in the mainstream market anymore, wearing it makes you stand out. It's a nonverbal way of saying, "I know who I am."

Kyanite jewelry is ultimately more than just a pretty face.

Simply put, not every big-box store or typical boutique carries Kyanite earrings. And that's precisely the point. It is primarily meant for people who are looking for something new. Something amazing. Something that seems to have been made just for them.

Whether it's through pendants that carry aim on your chest, jewelry that speaks with quiet confidence, or rings that shine with diffused soul, kyanite has a way of fitting into your style and spirit.

However, one thing is for sure: kyanite is more than just jewelry; it's a sensation, whether you buy it for the electricity, the style, or simply because it makes you feel good. When you start carrying it, you'll wonder how you were able to stay beside it.
