Knicks Struggle to Involve Towns as Center-Less Pistons Edge MSG

New York failed to feed Karl-Anthony Towns early as a center-less Pistons squad—without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart due to suspensions—built a halftime lead and held on for the win. Towns finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists but only took three shots in the first half, then provided a spark in the third quarter. Coach Mike Brown said the Knicks will continue to run their system and search for ways to free Towns, who is having a down shooting season. The Knicks dropped the game and sit 0-3 in a stretch against the East’s No. 1 seed.

Bills Hire Joe Brady as Head Coach, Installing the NFL’s Youngest Boss

The Buffalo Bills named Joe Brady their next head coach on a five-year deal, making him the NFL’s youngest head coach in 2026 at age 36. Brady, who has steered Buffalo’s high-powered offense since 2022 (OC since 2023), is credited with elevating Josh Allen to MVP-caliber play in 2024 and helping James Cook win the 2025 rushing title, with Bills’ metrics ranking among the league’s best in several EPA and efficiency categories. He already has strong ties to multiple Bills assistants, suggesting continuity on the staff as the team adapts to his offense.

Knicks' Hot Start Fades into an 11-Game Slump

After a 23-9 start and a December trophy, the Knicks have fallen to 2-9 over 11 games, slumping on both ends (28th in defense, 25th in offense) even with Hart and Brunson back from ankle issues.

Steelers face a crowded coaching field as they choose their next leader

The Steelers have a deep bench of coaching candidates—Nate Scheelhaase, Chris Shula, Brian Flores, Anthony Weaver, Ejiro Evero, Klay Kubiak, Jesse Minter, and Mike McCarthy—and must soon pick a new head coach. With the NFL trending toward offensive schemes and quarterback development, Pittsburgh’s choice will shape whether they hire an offensive-minded leader or one who can maximize a veteran or draft strategy, all while weighing McCarthy’s availability at age 62 and the franchise’s history of hiring coordinators who were once defensive minds.

Ravens Weigh Mike McDaniel as Head Coach Candidate: Five Key Takeaways

Baltimore Ravens have completed an interview with former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as part of their head-coach search, with McDaniel drawing interest from multiple teams for both head coaching and offensive coordinator roles. He’s celebrated for his play-calling versatility, helping the Dolphins rise from sixth in offense in 2022 to No. 1 in total and passing offense in 2023, a fit the Ravens hope could maximize Lamar Jackson and the team’s weapons. McDaniel previously helped develop skill players with the 49ers and was part of Washington’s staff under Shanahan, McVay, and LeFleur. Interest from Falcons, Browns, Titans, Lions, and the Ravens underscores his status as a hot commodity. He’s noted for a distinctive, players-first persona and a biracial background, which he says informs his ability to connect with diverse groups; however, he’s also faced criticism for being too lenient during Miami’s later seasons. His eventual landing could reshape Baltimore’s offense and return them to elite form.

Eagles part ways with OC Patullo after uneven 2025 season

The Philadelphia Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after one season following a wild-card loss to the 49ers, with coach Nick Sirianni saying the decision was his. Patullo could remain on the staff in another role.
