NFL Playoff Madness

It wasn't always beautiful but title weekend is set after the Broncos and Panthers emerged victorious on Sunday. The Panthers trolled Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight from The Office, after their victory and Cam Newton chucked a Seahawks' fan's flag in a move that will leave everyone overreacting. Wade Phillips got steamrolled by Martavis Bryant and Bengals' players celebrated the Steelers' loss.   And here are early AFC and NFC title game previews. For those sitting at home, here are the winners and losers of the wild coaching carousel.   Also, a couple random notes to chew on this morning:
