Joe Burrow is now the mayor of Cincinnati

• Joe Burrow is already the king of Cincinnati after winning the Cincinnati Bengals their first playoff game since 1990. But he's reached a new level after proclaiming that this is now expected of this team and this is the standard moving forward. I. LOVE. THIS. DUDE. The Bengals take on the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round this weekend, and they have a huge chance to win it.
  

Joe Burrow on the excitement in city about playoff win: "The fans were very excited. I tried to downplay it and all that because this is how it’s going to be from here on out. This is a great win for us but this is the standard for the bare minimum every year going forward."

• The Pittsburgh Steelers have a decision to make this offseason, and it's a pretty big one. Who will be the goddamn quarterback? The only thing they're sure of is that it won't be Ben Roethlisberger. Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that they are moving forward with the assumption that Big Ben has played his last game of football. The Steelers' options moving forward are a) Mason Rudolph (do not recommend); b) get a young guy in the draft; c) trade for a vet a la Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson. It'll be interesting to see what they do.
  

"All options are on the table" regarding QBs, according to Mike Tomlin.

Rookies, Vets, standing pat.

• The Green Bay Packers are coming off of their first-round bye this weekend and are taking on the San Francisco 49ers at home. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been making headlines all season (some of them not very complimentary) and one of them has been about his mysterious toe injury. Rodgers hasn't said what exactly happened to it, when it occurred, or how it happened. Kinda weird, but anyways, here's an update.
  

Are you ever gonna tell anybody what happened to your toe??

• The Buffalo Bills had a pretty impressive game last weekend against the New England Patriots, thanks to quarterback Josh Allen's performance. The Bills should be happy to have him.

• Another huge offseason storyline to keep an eye on: Where will Russell Wilson end up? The Seattle Seahawks are insisting they want to keep him, but I think it's pretty clear (especially from his words and actions the past two seasons) that he wants out. Will Seattle trade him?
