Here’s how the improbable Super Bowl between Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum and Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles could come to fruition.
Now that he’s back as coach of the Raiders, you probably will be seeing less of Jon Gruden on TV.
Tom Cable, the Raiders’ head coach from 2008 to 2010, reportedly has returned to the franchise as its offensive line coach. NFL Network reported his hiring Saturday morning.
When the Oakland Raiders selected a general contractor to build the planned 65,000-seat Las Vegas stadium, team executives said they wanted the best. And when Minneapolis-based M.A. Mortenson Construction began building sports facilities, company executives said they, too, wanted to be the best.
Cyrus Mehri is one of two lawyers who successfully petitioned the NFL on Wednesday to explore whether the Raiders violated the Rooney Rule when hiring Jon Gruden as coach.

Board members cruised through a lengthy agenda, but had little to show for it in the end, except that everything still appears to be on track for completion of a final stadium development agreement in February.
The total completions by Blake Bortles is 18½ and total TD passes and interceptions by Bortles is two.
The company line Tuesday painted a harmonious bond between the team’s new head coach and its general manager, and perhaps such a rapport will exist between men cut from the same Lambeau Field cloth.
