It’s not even the consistent success the f..

• Aaron Rodgers' magic makes believers of all in victory

  

  DALLAS -- It had to end with a pass on the run into a window that only Aaron Rodgers could see. Tight end Jared Cook, who caught the final throw only Rodgers could make in Green Bay's 34-31 epic Divisional Round victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, was just as floored as the rest of us. "I don't think you ever get used to the things that Aaron does. He always does things that just leaves you with your jaw dropped," Cook said after the game.

• Is payback in offing as Cleveland Cavaliers face Golden State Warriors? -- Bill Livingston (photos)

  

  CLEVELAND, Ohio - Paul Brown was a curmudgeon when it came to NFL players doing interpretative end zone dances in the spirit of Muhammad Ali's two-word poem about himself.

Instead, Bell set the tone with one quick comment about Pittsburgh's next opponent, the New England Patriots. "We have a little chip on our shoulders," Bell said of next Sun..
