Bo Nix is breaking his silence after breaking his ankle at the end of his AFC Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills ... saying, "What started as one of the most exciting games I’ve ever been a part of ended with some of the most devastating football news I’ve ever received."

The second-year quarterback took to Instagram Wednesday afternoon after undergoing surgery Tuesday in Alabama ... writing, "This is not how I imagined my season would come to an end."

"I can’t express how much this team and organization mean to me and how much I believe in them. I couldn’t be more proud of our guys."

Looks like Cardi B didn’t just fall for Stefon Diggs -- she fell for football too!!!

The Patriots star receiver couldn’t stop gushing about Cardi while speaking to reporters on Wednesday ... making it clear how much he appreciates having the rap queen as one of his loudest cheerleaders.

"She's an amazing supporter of just me and the Patriots," Diggs said. "She wasn't a football girl before, but I converted her over. I'm just thankful to have her in my corner."

The man who allegedly shot New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd outside of a restaurant in November 2025 was indicted on several charges -- including attempted murder -- on Wednesday ... as the NFL player continues to deal with complications from the injuries he sustained.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., announced on Wednesday that 20-year-old Frederick Green was charged in the New York State Supreme Court on one count of attempted murder in the second degree, one count of assault in the first degree, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.

"As alleged, Frederick Green fired two shots outside of a restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, nearly turning a physical altercation into a fatal one," Bragg said.

John Harbaugh was officially introduced as the head coach of the New York Giants on Tuesday ... and the 63-year-old admitted it felt "really great" to know the leader of the free world is on board with his hiring.

Harbaugh was asked about President Donald Trump's push for his employment during his first date with the N.Y. media ... and coach was well aware of the Jan. 10 endorsement via Truth Social.

"I'll tell ya, I also noticed on that post he said 'And John take the job,' so I thought John Mara had something to do with it," Harbaugh said.

It's time for another Guess Who! Can you guess which former porn star is a huge University of Miami Hurricanes fan?

You may know this past adult-film actress for her sounds in the bedroom ... but now she's taking those screams to the gridiron, with her full-throated support of the team that's more than likely heard her howl like a hurricane ... life really does come full circle.

The Hoo-Hoo-Hoo Hoosier fans turned Bloomington into a madhouse Monday night, losing their minds celebrating in the streets ... after Fernando Mendoza and the football team snagged the school's first-ever CFP title!

The game was close ... but the #1 ranked Hoosiers, thanks to a late stop, secured the 27-21 win over the #10 ranked Hurricanes, and then the mayhem!

Thousands of fans flooded downtown Bloomington, shutting down the streets and turning the place into an all-out block party!

Abella Danger was feeling the emotions after the Miami Hurricanes fell short of winning their sixth National Championship Monday night ... sharing a video of herself crying as she walked through a crimson confetti shower to exit the stadium.

The adult film star/Miami student took to social media not long after Carson Beck threw the game-sealing interception to the Indiana Hoosiers, and you can tell how disappointed she was with the end result.

"I hate this," Danger said as the Hoosiers celebrated, "I hate this!"

Jake Paul got some one-on-one time with President Trump at the College Football Playoff Championship on Monday ... and he seemingly used it to brief POTUS on his broken jaw recovery.

El Gallo was spotted hanging in No. 45 & 47's Hard Rock Stadium suite at some point in the Indiana Hoosiers' huge win over the Miami Hurricanes ... and during the chat, he was caught on video rubbing his face.

Unclear what exactly was said ... but since Trump is a big fan of combat sports and the Paul bros, we take it he was aware of what the fighter went through just weeks prior.

Denver Broncos star Bo Nix was surrounded by support after he learned his season was over ... with his wife sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the young quarterback after beating the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.

Nix's wife, Izzy, shared the image to her social media followers on Monday ... which shows the second-year signal-caller sitting on the floor with his right cleat removed.

As reported, Nix fractured his right ankle on the second-to-last play of the game ... meaning he will not be able to suit up for the remainder of the Broncos' Super Bowl run.

NFL officials did NOT blow the critical interception call during overtime of the Bills vs. Broncos game -- it was called correctly, full stop -- according to Dean Blandino, the league's former head of officiating.

"The Cooks' play I thought, ultimately, they got it right," Blandino, FOX Sports rules analyst and former Vice President of Officiating (2013-2017) told TMZ Sports.

Dean explained why, saying ... "Cooks' is going to the ground. He's gotta hold onto the ball when he lands. I thought the ball came loose immediately, McMillian ended up with it."

Some Buffalo Bills players are NOT happy with head coach Sean McDermott getting fired after nine seasons ... including defensive tackle, Jordan Phillips, who called the decision "stupid" and "sickening."

The NFL world is reacting in real time to McDermott losing his job following the Bills' Divisional Round loss to the Denver Broncos ... but Phillips' comments were by far the most filtered.

"This s*** here is so stupid honestly sickening," Phillips said on Instagram. "The best coach I've ever been around."

The Miami Hurricanes are a win away from adding a sixth national championship to their trophy case ... and Jeremy Shockey -- who won one of them in 2001 -- spoke with TMZ Sports about what he'd tell the players ahead of the biggest night of their lives.

"Try to be like a horse with blinders," Shockey said. "The distractions are going to come, it's a big week."

The 45-year-old said the team has already weathered the storm of the season, noting the Hurricanes have played in three high-stakes playoff games to get to this point.

Marshall Faulk has one request for the Rams and Bears game -- the referees need to CHILL.

Yes, that's what the Super Bowl champ said to TMZ Sports before his former team, the Rams, face the Bears in freezing Chicago on Sunday for the NFL Divisional Round matchup.

"Here's what I hope for," Faulk started.

"I hope that the referees stay their ass out of the game. We don't need to see referees on TV as much. They've been too visible in these games. They're throwing too many flags, I know they wanna be seen, but they need to stay out of the game."

If Mike Tomlin's ready to put coaching behind him, Nate Burleson knows how to keep him busy in a different way ... telling TMZ Sports he's got all the "energy" for a TV job!

We caught up with the former NFL player-turned-analyst outside of CBS studios in New York City this week ... fresh off the news that Tomlin decided to part ways with the Steelers after 19 seasons.

Nearly two decades of coaching is a long run -- so we asked Nate if Tomlin should fully enjoy his time off ... or consider a TV gig while off the sidelines.

John Harbaugh's unemployment lasted just 11 days -- the Super Bowl-winning head coach is taking over the New York Giants.

The 63-year-old reportedly agreed to a five-year deal ... which will undoubtedly make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.

Harbaugh released a statement on the move ... saying, "It's the New York Football Giants."

The Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs are here ... and Pro Bowl quarterback Trent Green is breaking down each and every one of the games!

Green -- a Super Bowl champion -- joined Babcock to preview both Saturday and Sunday's matchups ... as the eight remaining teams battle for a chance to advance to the Conference Championship games.

The big weekend kicks off with the Bills travelling to Mile High for a tilt with the number one seed Broncos ... a game that Trent believes will come down to last year's Most Valuable Player.

"It's gonna be the quarterback play, and how they get it done. And how Denver's defense can try and slow down Josh Allen."

Saturday's second game will pit the 49ers against the Seahawks in Seattle.

It's a matchup that Green believes will come down to a few key points, including whether the Niners survive another big injury -- this time to star tight end George Kittle -- as well as the play of QB Sam Darnold and Seattle's feared defense.
