Rundown!
The Super Bowl matchup is set ... but it's been overshadowed 

The Brian Flores lawsuit

-- Of course the NFL had discriminated against Black coaches

-- Of course the league will move to settle and make this story go away

-- But will this ultimately change anything at all other than Brian Flores' future employment prospects?

Tom Brady has retired

-- He's bitter about *something* that went down in New England

-- How will his legacy change in the coming years?The Super Bowl

-- The Bengals are good AND lucky

-- The Rams were built for this but ... is Matthew Stafford OK?

-- Let us now praise Aaron Donald again and again and again

-- How worrisome is Mahomes' second-half meltdown?

Quick thoughts on new coaches

-- Josh McDaniels to the Raiders

-- Brian Daboll to the Giants

-- The Vikings appear to favor Jim Harbaugh

Rundown:
We're here: Championship Sunday

Bengals-Chiefs

-- Wow, Cincy's offense got good fast

-- The magic of Joe Burrow

-- Why they aren't using more blockers

-- The Chiefs don't have answers in their secondary

-- Nothing the Bengals do will matter if Mahomes plays like he did last weekend

49ers-Rams

-- Two really smart coaches enter the game with very different QBs

-- Jimmy G has been here before ... with mixed results

-- Matthew Stafford has not ... but this is why he was brought here

-- Man, these defensive lines are ferocious

Coaching moves

-- This Broncos hire makes sense if it helps with a certain QB

-- This Bears hire makes sense if he knows a really, really good OC
