Among the best performers was, unsurprisingly, cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who shut down every receiver he was covering all night. Considering one of those players was Ladd McConkey, it was another impressive showing from the Pro Bowler. But after a great pass breakup late in the game, Gonzalez appeared shaken up after the play and headed to the blue medical tent, and eventually, was ruled questionable to return.

Hours after we learned of his preseason extension, Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero received requests to interview for head coach positions with the Raiders ( per ESPN's Adam Schefter) and Falcons ( per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero). Evero has received some head coaching interest in two of the past three offseasons, but this is the first we've seen of his name in this year's cycle.

The Chargers play in an open-air stadium, so it's not technically a dome, but it does have a canopy roof that mainly shields them from the elements. Even better, they play in Los Angeles, and that is not an area that gets New England cold or any extreme weather like sleet or snow. That won't be something they're spared on Sunday, as the weather report for Foxborough already looks like it will benefit the home team.

The NFL coaching carousel is in full force following decisions made by Baltimore and Miami to part ways with their respective head coaches. It creates more competition between teams in search of their new leader. It also brings more intrigue with John Harbaugh's remarkable resume and Mike McDaniel's strategic offensive mind. Harbaugh will command the attention of every team looking for a new coach,

Comebacks are just what Caleb Williams does. The second-year quarterback drilled DJ Moore with a 25-yard touchdown pass with 1:43 left as his Chicago Bears beat the visiting Green Bay Packers, 31-27, in an unbelievably believable thriller of a wild-card playoff game Saturday night. The Williams-to-Moore hookup capped off the Bears' seventh fourth-quarter comeback win of the season. Chicago hadn't won a playoff game since 2011.

The Atlanta Falcons have kicked off another rebuild, and their old quarterback is coming back to help them with it. The team announced Saturday that Matt Ryan will return to the franchise and serve in a newly created role: President of Football. Yep, that's it. Just "President of Football." Ralph Wiggum must have consulted on the name. Before hiring Ryan for the new position, the Falcons put together a pretty farcical interview process.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Johnson was listed as questionable with a Lisfranc injury that has sidelined him since mid-November. He returned to the practice field this week and while listed as a limited participant, some of his teammates reported that he was moving well, sparking optimism that he would make his return against San Francisco.
