Preview coverage from therams.com
- Stu Jackson on Blake Corum's mindset with an increased role in Week 18

- "I took a nap after practice and I got like three calls with Coach McVay. I was like, 'oh sh--, I'm getting fired.' Like, I don't know what I did, I thought I was feeling pretty good. I called and he was like 'you made the Pro Bowl.' ... It was really surreal. It felt amazing. Relief was first, though." - Verse
