Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen is set to become the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after a whirlwind of events that saw him initially decline the opportunity. Following the dismissal of general manager Trent Baalke, Coen reconsidered his position and accepted the Jaguars’ offer. The Jaguars are hoping Coen will bring stability to a franchise that has struggled to find consistent leadership, having cycled through four head coaches in six years.

Coen, who has a background under Sean McVay with the Los Angeles Rams, is credited with significantly improving offensive performance. His tenure with the Buccaneers saw them achieve a remarkable balance between passing and rushing, a vital aspect the Jaguars need to address. With Coen's expertise, there are high expectations for him to rejuvenate quarterback Trevor Lawrence's play and enhance the Jaguars' struggling run game.

The Cincinnati Bengals secured a crucial 19-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, keeping their playoff hopes alive with a fifth consecutive win. Despite controlling the game for most of the night, missed opportunities forced Cincinnati to protect a narrow lead in the fourth quarter. With a record of 9-8, the Bengals now await the outcomes of other games to see if they clinch the final playoff spot in the AFC.

The Steelers, already playoff-bound with a 10-7 record, ended the regular season on a disappointing four-game losing streak. Coach Mike Tomlin's team struggled offensively, failing to capitalize on key opportunities. Their playoff journey begins under a cloud of uncertainty and concern over their recent form.

The Pittsburgh Steelers triumphed over the Cincinnati Bengals in a thrilling 44-38 contest, marking the highest combined score of the season with 82 points. This victory was crucial for the Steelers as they bounced back from a previous loss and maintained their lead in the AFC North.

Quarterback Russell Wilson had an impressive performance, throwing for 414 yards and three touchdowns. Key contributions came from wide receiver George Pickens and running back Najee Harris, who both scored touchdowns, helping the Steelers secure their ninth win of the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson exited the game against the Cleveland Browns due to a quad injury sustained early in the first half. After being evaluated by trainers, he was deemed questionable to return. Despite low statistics this season, Jefferson serves as a key receiver for the Steelers, who may now rely on Calvin Austin, Mike Williams, and Ben Skowronek in his absence.

The Steelers have struggled offensively, failing to score in their previous game against the Baltimore Ravens. Jefferson's injury adds to the challenges the team faces in regaining their offensive rhythm.

Cam Heyward's path to becoming a Pittsburgh Steelers legend began on the sidelines as a rookie in 2011, where he learned from veterans. Despite initial doubts, his patience paid off, and he is set to break the franchise record for most games played by a defender.

Heyward, a six-time Pro Bowler, is focused on winning a Super Bowl and giving back to the community. His contributions extend beyond the field, reflecting a deep commitment to Pittsburgh and its residents.
