News and Notes from Week 17 Part 2
In what was one of the most exciting regular season finishes in NFL history, things got even more interesting late Sunday night and on Monday.
Sunday night the San Diego Chargers completely demolished the Denver Broncos, 52-21, to claim the AFC West title.
The Chargers will now host the Indianapolis Colts this coming weekend in round one of the playoffs.
Then, on Monday, the coach firings began.
The Lions, who finished the 2008 season 0-16, fired Rob Marinelli while the New York Jets released head coach Eric Mangini of his duties.
In his three seasons in New York, Mangini had two winning seasons, but failed to make the playoffs this year after his Jets lost four of their final five games of the season.
The other head coach to get the axe on Monday was Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel. Crennel led the Browns to a 4-12 season amidst a plethora of controversy.
Bill Cowher has already made it known that he does not want the Browns head coaching position. Things are just beginning to get interesting in the NFL.
