14 people died and dozens of others were injured during the New Year's Day terror attack in New Orleans ... and now, as the NFL rolls into town for the Super Bowl, an organization made up of football wives is doing something awesome for the surviving family members.

The Off The Field NFL Wives Organization, co-founded by Sherice Brown, Tim Brown's wife, Ashley Brown, Ray Brown's wife, and Romonda Jordan, wife of Randy Jordan, will host a fashion show on February 7, themed "A Legacy of Strength and Resilience," at Canal Place.

The event will not only feature 50 WAGs of active and retired NFL players walking the runway ... but the family members of some of the people killed or injured during the terror attack will also model the clothes in front of the crowd!

Jets fans are going to love this ... one of Aaron Glenn's former players tells TMZ Sports New York's new head coach is going to have them winning games in no time!!

Lions star cornerback Amik Robertson raved over Glenn in a sit-down with us this week ... just days after the former Detroit defensive coordinator accepted the gig in the Big Apple.

Robertson told us Glenn was actually the reason he came to the Motor City from the Raiders this past offseason ... and he gushed over the way the 52-year-old allowed him to blossom this year.

The Philadelphia Eagles apparently have a helluva football team AND hearts of gold ... 'cause they just revealed they're gifting Super Bowl tickets to a New Orleans terror attack survivor.

The team -- which will face Kansas City in the Big Game on Feb. 9 -- surprised the man, Ryan Quigley, with the sweet present this week at their NovaCare Complex.

Quigley -- a college football player and huge Eagles fan -- suffered a broken leg and back, among other injuries, when a terrorist sped a truck through crowds on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day. His best friend, Tiger Bech, was tragically killed during the incident.

Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson says the good, the bad and the ugly of college recruiting is finally coming to light ... and it's all thanks to a new project focusing on what young athletes deal with during a crucial time in their careers.

Robertson makes an appearance in the "Blue Chippers: Next Man Up" sports documentary by Derek and Preston Dark ... which dives into the challenges several Louisiana high school football players face as they plan their college futures.

While the process can seem like a dream to students, Derek explained he wanted to show the truth of it all.

NFL kicker Justin Tucker is calling BS on allegations he was sexually inappropriate with massage therapists ... insisting the claims made against him this month are not true.

The Baltimore Banner reported Thursday that six masseuses at four different spas in the Baltimore-area have accused Tucker of misbehaving during massage sessions that happened between 2012 and 2016.

Tucker's accusers alleged the Ravens star would come in for therapy and at points during their work, he'd intentionally and repeatedly expose his genitals. They also claimed the 35-year-old, whose first season with Baltimore came in 2012, left ejaculate on their equipment following some treatments.

The NFL just released some more video of the aftermath of the Chiefs' big win Sunday ... and, you can see Taylor Swift was absolutely floored her boyfriend was heading back to the Super Bowl.

The footage -- put out by NFL Films on Wednesday -- shows the pop superstar, Travis Kelce and Donna Kelce all on the field in the minutes after Kansas City beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

The trio are talking about a key block Travis made for Patrick Mahomes ... when, suddenly, Taylor turns, and urges her man to bask in the moment.

Former Philadelphia Eagles great Jeremiah Trotter Sr. says it's an emotional time for his family after his son, Jeremiah Jr., made it to the Super Bowl ... telling TMZ Sports he knows just how proud his late wife would be of their child.

TMZ Sports spoke with the former All-Pro linebacker as he prepares to watch 22-year-old Trotter Jr. attempt to win the Lombardi Trophy in his first season in the league -- and he admitted the nerves he feels during his son's games are much stronger than how he felt during his own career.

"When I played, I can control the game," he said. "I can control certain aspects of the game or how I did. When you're watching your kids play, it's all on them. So you definitely get more nervous."

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are running it back at the Super Bowl ... and Tech N9ne is sending a clear message to his friends, Gillie and Wallo -- telling TMZ Sports the bet they made back in 2023 is back on!!

We chopped it up with the Strange Music co-founder and Chiefs super fan after his team punched their ticket to their third straight Super Bowl appearance ... and he provided an update on a longstanding wager he made with the "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game" cohosts when their squads faced off two years ago.

"Me, Wallo and Gillie been here before like in '23," Tecca Nina said. "Now it's back on, baby!"

The trio initially threw down a bet that would have forced Gillie and Wallo to star in the visuals for Tech's K.C. anthem, "Red Kingdom," with egg on their faces.

In return, if the Birds won SB LVII, Tech would have had to appear on their show and do an Eagles-themed dance.

Tech said he put the bet on hold "out of love and respect" following the tragic death of Gillie's son -- YNG Cheese.

Now, with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs looking to make history over Jalen Hurts and the Eagles ... Tech is confident his team will become the first three-peat Super Bowl champions in NFL history.

"I always say that we're gonna win," Tech said. "I never talk smack like everybody else do. 'The Birds gonna do this!' I'm like keep on talking."

Bill Belichick thinks it might be time for the NFL's Super Bowl hardware to get a rebrand ... saying players win championships, not coaches -- so in reality, the Lombardi Trophy should be named after Tom Brady!!

The Patriots legend -- who won six championships with TB12 in New England -- shared his take on the "Let's Go!" podcast with Jim Gray this week ... when he admitted even the best coaches in the world won't get far without a great roster.

The North Carolina Tar Heels' new coach listed several notable guys he coached throughout his time in New York, Cleveland and New England ... and said they're the ones that deserve all the shine -- 'cause they got it done on the field.

Odell Beckham Jr. has the internet in a frenzy -- and it's got nothing to do with football -- the star WR stripped down to near nothing for a new makeup ad, and he looks incredible!

The 3x Pro Bowler dropped the steamy photo on social media Tuesday night, nary a piece of fabric in sight, for the MAC cosmetics advertisement.

Fittingly, Odell, sporting red lipstick kiss marks on his torso, is promoting their "Nudes" collection ... which makes a lot of sense.

Pack up those tin foil hats ... former NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino tells TMZ Sports the league is absolutely not conspiring to help get the Chiefs into Super Bowls.

The 53-year-old -- who now works as FOX Sports' NFL and college football rules analyst -- said even though Kansas City may seem to be getting the benefit of a lot of close calls in big games ... he's sure there's no directive from Roger Goodell to have refs favor the Chiefs.

Blandino said if anyone would know about such a plan -- it'd be him ... seeing as he oversaw the NFL's officials from 2013 to 2017.

Ryan Day says his viral golf cart crash sucked all the mojo out of his national championship experience ... joking he felt like he was living out a scene from "Austin Powers" -- and the moment brought him back to reality real quick.

The Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach hung out with Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' this week ... and, of course, he couldn't talk about the big win without addressing the viral golf cart incident from the tunnels of the Caesars Superdome after the victory.

Day said he hoped to use those few minutes on the cart to take a deep breath and prepare for the press conference ... but the woman behind the wheel treated it like a NASCAR race.

Eminem is not the plaintiff in the lawsuit. Eight Mile Style controls his early catalog, and therefore, filed the suit. We're told Em does not have ownership in Eight Mile Style.

Eminem's ride or die for his home state, but not when it comes to a Ford dealership in Michigan using his biggest hit to sell limited edition trucks.

Eight Mile Style, which controls part of Em's music catalog, fired off the lawsuit Monday against LaFontaine Ford St. Clair -- which owns multiple car dealerships -- over an online ad it started running last fall to promote a limited edition Detroit Lions Ford F-150 pickup truck.

The ad is not only scored with "Lose Yourself," but it also features a caption that reads, "You only get one shot to own a Special Edition Detroit Lions F-150."

12:55 PM PT -- The Philadelphia Police Dept. says the driver of the car, Rebekah DeShields, has been arrested and is now facing multiple charges related to the crash ... including aggravated assault, driving without a license, simple assault and reckless driving.

Cops also added eight people in total were injured during the incident -- with some sustaining fractures.

What should've been a celebratory night for Philadelphians turned dark when a car struck pedestrians leaving the Eagles playoff game ... injuring several people.

Pete Carroll’s not dropping his side hustle -- despite landing the Raiders' head coaching job, the USC legend will continue to teach a course at the school, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Carroll took on a role as a co-instructor this past school year ... after ending his 13-year run as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

He teamed up with USC Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life Varun Soni and Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship David Belasco for a class called "The Game Is Life," which focuses on personal development post-grad for senior students.

Philadelphia Eagles fans hardly behaved in the aftermath of the team's big NFC Championship Game victory ... police say they had to make multiple arrests and issue several citations amid the parties that followed the Birds' win over the Commanders.

The Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement on Monday two men -- Jose Moya and Eugene Dennis -- were thrown behind bars over allegations they assaulted police officers who were working NFCCG detail. The Dept. added another man -- Tramayne Davis-Blockson -- was placed into custody for allegedly stabbing someone in the leg following a verbal altercation.

Thirty-one others, cops say, were issued citations for disorderly conduct or failure to disperse.
