' days as No. 85 -- and as Chad Ochocinco 2.0, for that matter -- are coming to a close. But a new No. 5 is on his way.Higgins, the Bengals' dynamic second-season wide receiver, said this will be the last season he dons No. 85
Rodney Hood Jersey and will make the switch to his college number of No. 5."I keep seeing on Twitter, 'Ochocinco 2.0,'" Higgins said Thursday, via . "I don't want to be a 2.0
Portland Trail Blazers T-Shirts . No disrespect to Chad. He's a great receiver, this and that. I just don't want to be a 2.0 for myself, man. I want to be Tee Higgins, 1.0, No. 5."Donning No. 85 for his rookie and sophomore campaigns with the Bengals, Higgins has had a big
Harry Gilles III Jersey jersey to fill and is off to a great start.Ochocinco (formerly known as Chad Johnson) starred for the Bengals for a decade, making it to six Pro Bowls, earning two All-Pro designations and garnering a reputation for being one of the NFL's most colorful players and talented wide receivers during his run.Higgins, who eclipsed
Robert Covington Jersey 900 yards receiving as a rookie and hauled in a touchdown in of this season, believes that when he takes off the No. 85, he might be the last player to wear it for Cincinnati, alluding to
Carmelo Anthony Jersey the Bengals po sibly (and deservedly) retiring it in honor of Johnson."I just feel like Chad's done so much for this organization," said Higgins, who wore No. 5 at Clemson. "I just got a good feeling that his number is gonna get lifted one day."
isn't only dominating on the field in 2021. The two-time NFL rushing champ is also making the right kind of noise off of it, by way of his work in the local community. While the enjoy a six-game win streak in large
Tyrese Maxey Jersey part due to the resurgence of Elliott, he's also made time to be present in one of the more challenged communities of the Dallas-Forth Worth area -- a neighborhood known as Oak Cliff.Seated southwest of downtown Dallas, the i sues of Oak Cliff are that of many other low-income urban areas, and that's led to the founding of "For Oak Cliff," a non-profit organization founded by two former teachers: Xavier Henderson and Taylor Toynes. The charity works hard to provide all manner of services to the community, including food drives, GED courses, improvement to neighborhood parks and camps for local kids.And now Elliott is helping their cause, and not with preset pre s ops, but instead regular visits that have long flown under the radar."They were telling me a little about the organization and I was
Raul Neto Jersey like, 'Man, this really reminds me of back home,'" said Elliott, via WFAA Channel 8. "I love going down there -- hanging out, having a good time and doing my part."Henderson appreciates it all more than Elliott knows. "I
Allen Iverson Jersey think him not doing it for the pre s says a lot about his intentions," he said of the All-Pro halfback. "He really means well. He really sees the power of his platform and influence. ... We love him."Elliott's help at "For Oak Cliff" garnered attention on an episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" this past August -- bringing the right kind of attention to what the organization is attempting to build."I think it's just a testament to what they have going on there," said Elliott. "It's a joy to go out there. It's not a chore. I want to go to 'For Oak Cliff.

It's time for the glitz and glamour of Super Bowl LVI, with the playing host to the on Sunday evening. It's a matchup that promises to electrify and is overrun with amazing storylines -- from the blockbuster trade for (and plus ) that helped lead the Rams to this point, to just how dominant former first overall pick has been in his second year after also having suffered a torn ACL as a rookie. To s in two dynamic receivers in and and you've got yourself a heavyweight fight.But once the confetti settles and the lights go out at SoFi Stadium, no matter who leaves victorious, both teams will be immediately thrust into making offseason decisions as the league year sets to begin in mid-March and the franchise tag deadline lands not long before. So ahead of The Big Game, let's take a look at 15 of the most notable potential free agents set to take the field on Sunday, because you might see them in a different uniform in 2022.15. , WR LAR WR #19 Initially signing with the Rams as a practice squad member on Nov. 4, he's since proven his worth and then some. Powell has helped flip field position in critical moments for the Rams on the back end of the
Shake Milton Jersey season, including a 61-yard punt return for a touchdown against the in Week 16 -- a game the Rams won by seven points to stretch their win streak at the time to four games. An undrafted talent grabbed by the in 2018, Powell is already an NFL journeyman at the tender age of 25, but has emerged as a notable talent going into the .14. , CB CIN CB #29 Hargreaves is part of a trio of Bengals cornerback talent set to hit the open market this offseason, alongside and -- the three leading the Cincinnati secondary to great improvement in 2021. It's unlikely all will be retained by the Bengals, however, so other might get a shot at landing the former 11th overall pick, a 26-year-old with strong upside and a ton of tread left on his pro tires, needing only to improve at his ability to take the ball away. 13. Eli Apple, CB CIN CB #20 Apple is a curious one indeed, because he's shown he can be great at times but not so much at others. Because of the
Isaiah Joe Jersey former, he'll garner interest in free agency, as he has in the past, and as a 26-year-old who is also a former 10th overall pick -- literally picked one spot ahead of Hargreaves in 2016 -- the two are on the same side this Sunday against the Rams; but will have competing interests in who gets the bigger offer from the Bengals (or other clubs interested in a young CB) in March.12. Tre Flowers, CB CIN CB #33 The third head in the Bengals cornerback hydra, Flowers is a 26-year-old who has made his way from being a fifth-round pick of the to a key player in the Bengals' defensive plans, and that will serve him well in a few weeks. He's not nece sarily the ballhawk teams would like to see, but he's been known to force a fumble or several and doesn't shy away from contact. Like Hargreaves and Apple, he'll be vying for attention from the Bengals for a po sible return as well as free agency calls from around the league.11. , CB JAC CB #31 It's raining free agent cornerbacks in the Super Bowl, and you can believe there are 30 general managers paying attention. For it's not only the triumvirate in Cincinnati who's set to see their contracts expire when the new league year opens, but also Williams in Los Angeles. The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Rams in 2021 -- a former undrafted free agent (2018) of the -- after having spent the last two seasons with the team. And while he's struggled to grab interceptions this season, he produced six over the past two years (4 INTs in 2020 alone). 10. , OL CAR OG #63 Here's more young talent to be
Tyrese Maxey Jersey had from this year's Super Bowl contestants, and at a position often viewed as the most important in football outside of the quarterback spot. Corbett is an offensive lineman who entered the league as a second-round pick for the in 2018 before making his way to the Rams in 2019 -- having started in every game since landing in Los Angeles. Quality offensive line starters are tough to find, and the 26-year-old will land calls from suitors in 2022.9. , OL CIN OG #67 The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Bengals one offseason ago -- marking his second with the team. He'd like to dig his heels in for a longer stay somewhere, likely preferably with a Cincinnati
Julius Erving Jersey team that's presently preparing for the Super Bowl with quarterback Joe Burrow set to lead the way for years to come -- but like NFL teams around the league, the Bengals can't keep everybody. That means Spain would either have to keep an open mind, and an open phone line as well. Spain started in 16 games for the Bengals during the regular season and took 95% of the offensive snaps at his position.8. , OL CHI OT #71 Reiff joins Spain in being the other notable Bengals offensive lineman heading to free agency. The two were brought in to help bolster an O-line that was as porous as anyone had ever seen, and while there were struggles by the group again in 2021 -- to say the least -- Reiff is a veteran starter NFL teams will want to speak to this offseason. A former first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2012, Reiff made a name for himself with the Minnesota Vikings before moving on the Cincinnati and his first shot at appearing in/winning a Super Bowl. 7. , K (RFA) LAR K #8 Kickers need love, too, and especially in a league that's seen such an awful downturn in effectivene s at the position. Gay has been a stellar for the Rams, and is a key reason they're not sitting on a couch somewhere playing "what if" this week. As a restricted free agent, however, the Rams have some leverage here, seeing as they still own his rights. They're not likely to let him walk scot-free and will instead look to tender him, as high as a second-round pick, and dare another club to pay that as compensation to potentially acquire him. In other words, he'll likely stay right where he is, but he deserves key mention on a list of ranked Super Bowl free agents.6. , TE
Justin Anderson Jersey NYJ TE #87 Things got scary for Uzomah recently, when he was carted off of the field with in the AFC Championship Game against the . to mi s the "biggest game of his life," though, so you'll likely see him take the field against the Rams at SoFi Stadium -- only two weeks after suffering injury that could've ended his season two weeks ago. Uzomah emerged as a top weapon for Burrow in Zac Taylor's offense, and if it's one thing NFL teams do love going after, it's a tight end who can make plays.5. , DT PIT DT #99 While the Bengals were lucky enough to not lose Uzomah for The Big Game, their luck didn't extend to Ogunjobi. Having signed a one-year deal with Cincinnati, the 27-year-old went on to deliver seven sacks for a defense that wa
As goes the quarterback, so goes the team. It's not true in the , but it usually is. And it makes sense: In a pa sing league, the pa sers are like royalty -- the biggest influences on whether a team is destined more for a title or a No. 1 draft pick. Each year the limits of aerial production are tested, and this season appears to be no exception. It's with that in mind that we come to you with the most important pecking order outside of traditional team power rankings: QB Power Rankings. Consider this your cut-and-dry guide to the best and worst of the NFL's signal-callers -- a weekly 1-to-32 rundown of every starter under center. How are the QBs ranked? We try to factor in theircurrent standing, their
Vlade Divac Jersey history of succe sand theirfuture upside, but it's probably simpler to think of the rankings as a general answer to this question: Now, without further ado, let's get to the Week 17 rankings: Week 13 QB Power Rankings1 Green Bay Packers QB Sorry, but not even is throwing like him right now, and, frankly, Rodgers has been doing more for a little while now. We'd happily take Pat here as well, but A-Rod is robotic in all the best ways at this juncture. He cannot be stopped.Last week: 22 Kansas City Chiefs QB It speaks volumes about his ability that we can consider him a top-three MVP candidate and also just feel kind of "OK" with his numbers thus far. In other words, even when he looks like he's going half-speed, he's a truly transcendent talent.Last week: 13 Buffalo Bills QB If Rodgers is the 2020 MVP, then Allen might very well be -- or should be -- the runner-up. Let's see how he handles this playoff run, but boy does he have all the tools you want in a championship QB. Guy is playing with a Mahomes-like feel for the game.Last week: 34 Seattle Seahawks QB Considering where he was earlier in the year, this feels like a
Nate Archibald Jersey pretty uninspiring top-five placement. And yet, come playoff time, who wants to bet against him? While his numbers have tapered off since midseason, his track record demands respect.Last week: 45 Houston Texans QB Contrary to some opinions, Watson should not be totally absolved of the ' horrific season. Most of the time, however, he's been downright dynamic airing the ball out. His career marks would've drawn MVP buzz any other year.Last week: 56 Baltimore Ravens QB Was this season a slight step back in terms of his total performance? Sure. The pa sing efficiency has been relatively hit or mi s. But make no mistake: As a , he remains one of the toughest matchups in the entire league.Last week: 97 Arizona Cardinals QB His decision-making has left quite a bit to be desired; in fact, he probably doesn't get enough flak for the turnovers he's racked up. Like Jackson, though, when he's on his game, he's easily the most dangerous man on the field.Last week: 88 Tenne see Titans QB Were his hiccups in Green Bay indicative of a forthcoming fall to Earth? That seems like just a small stretch considering how steady he's been otherwise. Tannehill still isn't nece sarily "scary," but he'll put you in a position to win almost every week.Last week: 79 Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB His erratic 2020 probably doesn't deserve a top-10 placement, but there's no ignoring those big games. When the Bucs offense actually finds a rhythm, he can still light up the scoreboard as well as just about anyone. Question is: Can they sustain it?Last week: 1010 Los Angeles Chargers QB
Sacramento Kings Hoodie Who would've gue sed, in April, that he'd be far and away the top performing rookie QB of his cla s? Get pumped for 2021.Last week: 1111 Drew Brees New Orleans Saints QB What is his ceiling? The smarts and touch are still there, but the might need vintage Brees to emerge in the postseason.Last week: 612 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Just when we all thought Big Ben might actually be approaching the end, he unloads enough downfield balls to restore the ' confidence. Still, you wonder whether he'll be able to play gunslinger when it counts.Last week: 1513 Las Vegas Raiders QB He's still plagued by too many misjudged decisions, but the touch has been there pretty much all year. Guy needs more help with red-zone play-calling and proper utilization of his weapons.Last week: Unranked14 Minnesota Vikings QB Those numbers sure do look good for a QB of a 6-9 team! Cousins is what he is: An efficient pa ser with better downfield ability than people give him credit for, but still a clear level below the guys you trust for deep playoff runs.Last week: 1315 Cleveland Browns QB We can't fault him too much for playing Week 16 without any of his top receivers. It's going
Trevor Ariza Jersey to be fascinating to see whether he -- and not the ground game -- is tasked with leading a playoff win, a suming Cleveland gets in.Last week: 1416 Indianapolis Colts QB Middle-of-the-pack. That's what Rivers is. He can complete all the short-area targets you need, and if the game plan is rolling, he'll keep it rolling. But the spotlight's going to be very bright if he gets into the playoffs.Last week: 1617 Detroit Lions QB Who knows if he'll even be trotted out amid even more injuries to close the year. At this point, all anyone really cares about is whether he'll get the chance to play elsewhere
Reggie Theus Jersey in 2021.Last week: 1918 Atlanta Falcons QB Ryan has not been good this year. The numbers look fine, as he's still thrown for a ton of yards. But he's been a contributor to Atlanta's many failures, not an exception to them. He needs even more support moving forward.Last week: 1719 Carolina Panthers QB What began as a truly promising season has become, well, just an OK one for Teddy. The guy fights, there's no doubt about it, but he's also failed at almost every turn to establish himself as a crunch-time playmaker. Last week: 1820 Chicago Bears QB We probably shouldn't get too carried away by his relatively hot streak of late, but of course the just might. Trubisky's thrown some nice balls, yes, but let's see how he fares if Chicago somehow sneaks into the playoffs.Last week: 2321 Dallas Cowboys QB Maybe it just took him a few weeks to finally convince the to let him keep throwing and throwing and throwing to Dallas' bevy of top-tier receiving options.Last week: 2622 Philadelphia Eagles QB Hurts has played with lots of poise and athleticism, but he's also been pretty loose with the ball. His poor second half against Dallas probably increased the chances that w

No NFL player has ever been in more Super Bowls than . No player has ever won more Super Bowls than Tom Brady. Having been to nine
Kyle Korver Jersey Super Bowls in his career, Brady has considerably more experience playing on Sunday than any other player on either the or the . Among players participating in Super Bowl LV, the only other player who has participated in more than one Super Bowl is Brady's former teammate , who has been to four.One thing Brady doesn't have quite as much experience with, though, is being a Super Bowl underdog. Only twice in his nine trips has Brady's team not entered the game as the betting favorite. Sunday will make it three out of 10, as our friends at William Hill Sportsbook have listed the Chiefs as 3-point favorites over the Bucs.It's worth looking back, then, at what happened the
Utah Jazz Hoodie last two times Brady's team was a Super Bowl underdog.Super Bowl XXXVI vs. St. Louis Very famously, the Patriots were not the favorites in their first Super Bowl. The Rams were actually 14-point favorites for that game, what with The Greatest Show on Turf rolling through the league for the better part of the 2001 season. Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Ricky Proehl, and Az-Zahir Hakim formed one of the most unstoppable attacks in recent NFL history, and as such, nearly everyone expected them to win. Of course, that's not how it worked out. Instead, the Patriots defense clamped down on Warner and company, holding them to only 17 points. Brady himself was in just his first season as a starter, and wasn't asked to do much more than not lose the game. And he lived up to that expectation, completing 16 of 27 pa ses for 145 yards and a touchdown. More than half of those 145 yards came on the final drive of the game, though, as he went 5 of 8 for 73 yards to lead
Mike Conley Jersey the Pats down the field and set up game-winning 48-yard field goal.The Pats secured a 20-17 victory, and a nascent
John Stockton Jersey dynasty was born.Super Bowl XLIX vs. Thirteen years later, Brady's Patriots were underdogs again. This time, it was against the Legion of Boom-led Seahawks, a defensive juggernaut that had spent the better part of three seasons stifling opposing offenses and had won the Super Bowl the year before. Armed with , , , , K.J. Wright, , , and more, there were few teams better-equipped to stop the high-flying Patriots offense, which averaged 29.3 points per game that season. For a while, it looked like the Seahawks might do exactly that. Neither team scored during the first quarter of the game. While each team scored two touchdowns during the second quarter and it was tied 14-14 at halftime, the Seahawks proceeded to stake themselves to a 10-point lead in the third quarter. Brady, though, had other things in mind. He was intercepted twice during the game, but he also completed 37 of 50 pa ses for 328 yards and four scores, including two in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a 28-24 lead with just over two minutes left in the game. worked his team down the field and got them all the way to the 1-yard line, but made one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, stepping in front of
Andrei Kirilenko Jersey a slant intended for to secure an interception, and New England's fourth Super Bowl title.
quarterback has finally taken care of an injury that hampered him all season, and that injury may have played a part in his statistical regre sion. According to Jeff Dickerson of ESPN, Trubisky in his left, non-throwing shoulder shortly after the conclusion of the
Jordan Clarkson Jersey regular season. The typical recovery time for this "minor" procedure is usually a "couple of months."The former No. 2 overall pick (2017 ) suffered the injury in the 16-6 win against the in Week 4. Trubisky would mi s the Bears' trip to London, where they lost to the , 24-21, but would
Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey return in Week 7 after Chicago's bye week. Trubisky then struggled mightily against backup quarterback and the , losing 36-25 in front of a chorus of booing Bears fans. He would battle through the pain and start the last 11 regular-season games.Trubisky did improve somewhat towards the end of the regular season, but the Bears still finished 8-8 and mi sed the postseason after winning the NFC North with a 12-4 record last year. After throwing for 3,223 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in last year's campaign, Trubisky threw for 3,138 yards, just 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions this season.When Bears head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace addre sed the state of the franchise in December, to prove he should be the starter
Utah Jazz T-Shirts moving forward. "Yes we do," replied Pace, . "I think with Mitch -- and
Rayjon Tucker Jersey we need more time in the coming months to evaluate everything -- the first thing that comes to mind for me is just consistency. You see moments, you see games, but for him, stringing together better consistency. You have the peaks and valleys; we just need to flatten that out."Trubisky finished No. 21 overall in pa sing yards this season, which was
Ricky Rubio Jersey behind players like , , and -- all who had played in le s than 15 games. This season will mean a lot for both Trubisky and the Bears. As a first-round pick, Chicago has a fifth-year option on their quarterback, but they will have to pick it up by early May in order to keep him on his rookie deal through the 2021 season. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do.
One of the most intriguing training camp battles in the NFL this year is taking place in Chicago, where coach Matt Nagy is going to have to decide whether or should be his starting quarterback this year. Trying to pick a winner in this quarterback competition isn'
Chris Chiozza Jersey t going to be easy, and a big reason for that is because Nagy is going to have le s than five weeks of practice and zero preseason games to work with before he has to make the decision.If Nagy is looking for some outside help when it comes to making the quarterback decision, then
Brooklyn Nets Hats he might want to give Brett Favre a call, because the former quarterback knows who he would start if he were in charge of making the decision."I look at it this way: How will Nick Foles play in Chicago? I don't know," Favre said recently . "I just base it off of how they both have performed when they have been given the opportunity and Nick Foles, I think, has performed better. Not in competition with Trubisky, because they haven't been in competition yet."For Favre, it basically comes down to who has a better on-
Garrett Temple Jersey field track record and that honor definitely goes to Foles, who already has a MVP under his belt. On the other hand, Trubisky has barely been playing average football since being drafted by the Bears in 2017. "If you just base it off how they've performed in real game situations," Favre said. "Obviously, Nick Foles won a Super Bowl and played lights out, so from that standpoint, Nick Foles is the better player."Although Favre would give the starting job to Foles, he did point out that doesn't know what "either player looks like right now."Foles might be the better quarterback, but that doesn
Derrick Coleman Jersey 't nece sarily mean he'll be able to win the job right away. With practice time cut down compared to a normal year, Trubisky would seem to have an advantage over Foles because he already knows Nagy's system -- something the Bears -- so it's very po sible that . Nagy could decide to go with Trubisky in the Bears' regular season opener before turning the offense over to Foles once he becomes more comfortable with the coach's offensive system. No matter what happens, the Bears quarterback battle is going to be one camp competition you're definitely going to want to keep an eye on. As for Favre, if you want his take on a few other topics -- like , and the fact that is playing for a new team --
Andre Roberson Jersey be sure to .
If you were to ask random NFL fans what their favorite
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey game from the 2021 season was, you'd probably get an overwhelming amount that point to the divisional round showdown between the and . The two clubs combined for 78 points, which included a hectic back-and-forth fourth quarter where 28 total points were piled up.With just 17 seconds remaining in the game, Bills quarterback delivered what was thought to be the death blow to the Chiefs in Arrowhead when he completed a 19-yard touchdown to wideout Gabe Davis. However, -- who quickly moved K.C. 44 yards down the field to set up the game-tying field goal and force OT -- had other plans. Kansas City would then win the coin to s to begin overtime and march 75 yards as Mahomes would hit for the game-winner."People still come up to me and talk about it. That's the game people talk about," Allen . "To be a part of it is great, but to be on the losing end of it is not so great. It doesn't make me feel any better when someone comes up and says, 'That was the greatest game I've ever seen.' It's like, we lost."

While the lo s spoiled any chance for the Bills to advance to the AFC Championship and continue their path towards getting their first-ever win, Allen admitted that he's especially burned by losing both coin to ses. As the visiting team, Allen and the Bills were able to call the coin to s and the quarterback had been a perfect 9-0 at making the call leading into that matchup. However, that streak was snapped after losing both the to s to begin the game and to begin OT. And it may partially be our fault here at CBS Sports. Leading up to the game, Allen went through a production meeting with the CBS crew that was set to broadcast the playoff matchup. It was during that meeting that Allen
Caris LeVert Jersey says he was made aware of the perfect coin to s record and things went sideways from there."In our production meeting, it was jinxed, and I was 0-for-2 in that game," Allen said. "They brought up that stat, you're 9-0. ... I go 0-2 on coin to ses that game. I switched it up, I went heads first and then I went tails at the end, and it was obviously flip-flopped."With that in mind, to Allen and the rest of
Garrett Temple Jersey the Bills fanbase: Hand up. That's our bad. In the same vein as not mentioning to a pitcher that he's throwing a no-hitter, we probably should have just let the QB continue to run hot on the to s until the streak was snapped. One thing that did come out of that game, however, was the for the postseason that ensures each team will get a po se sion and no longer be subject to getting the coin to s correct, so Allen won't have much pre sure if faced with a similar call in the seasons to come.

The camps mark the first time each offseason that most players can fully dive into their on-field preparation for the upcoming campaign. With fewer veterans skipping the se sions and, unlike earlier workouts, coaches able to work with
Ivica Zubac Jersey players on the field, mandatory minicamps feel more like real practices.That means we'll see guiding new coach Nathaniel Hackett's scheme in Denver.The Jags are taking a different approach to mandatory minicamp, with new coach Doug Pederson giving most of the veterans the week off."I'm still having the mandatory minicamp, mandatory three days, but I'm only doing the rookies, selected veterans and our injured players," Pederson said last week. "The injured players are guys that maybe finished the season with an injury that worked all offseason. I just require them to stay here and still get treatment and
Bill Walton Jersey rehab. So, it's a chance to really work with our young players and some of the selected vets on a little more of a one-on-one
Mfiondu Kabengele Jersey basis. We're going to do that next week, so the veterans are done."Pederson, who coached the Eagles from 2016-2020, noted that the veterans earned the extra time off."It's all based on what they've done," he said. "I've done this kind of thing in the past, but at the same time, I wanted to see this group work and work together. It wasn't final until just within the last week or so for me to make the decision. Again, these guys have worked extremely hard. They've earned
Joakim Noah Jersey it. They deserve it. We got done, as a staff, what we needed to get done and we're getting ready for camp."Meanwhile, 15 NFL teams will kick off minicamp Tuesday.
