DK Metcalf's season could've ended when the NFL suspended him two games for hitting a Lions fan -- but it didn't -- and now he's got a chance to make amends, according to a 2x Super Bowl champ!

TMZ Sports talked to Charlie Batch, who not only played 11 seasons in Pittsburgh but now covers the team, and he says things could've gotten ugly if the Steelers lost to the Ravens and missed the playoffs.

Hailee Steinfeld brought a very special plus-one to the Golden Globes Sunday ... her growing baby bump!

Her husband, star quarterback Josh Allen, was in Florida after his NFL playoff win, but Hailee had plenty of company as she walked the red carpet for the first time since announcing her pregnancy last month.

The "Sinners" star absolutely glowed in a shimmering pink number, cradling her new addition as she beamed at the cameras.

Figure skater Maxim Naumov made his dream come true when he made the U.S. Olympic team Sunday ... but the accomplishment was bittersweet, as it came one year after losing his parents to a catastrophic plane crash.

Naumov grew up following in his parents' footsteps ... Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova, competed for Russia, becoming world champions in pairs figure skating in 1994.

Wanting the best for their son, they shared advice and talked to him about what it would take for him to join them in Olympic glory while supporting him last year at the 2025 U.S. championships in Wichita, Kansas.

Cooper DeJean's brother is in trouble with the law ... cause TMZ has learned Beckett DeJean was arrested for operating while intoxicated.

According to jail records, seen by TMZ, Beckett was taken into custody Sunday morning in Iowa on a first offense DUI/OWI, which is classified as a misdemeanor but still carries serious penalties.

Beckett was a defensive back for the South Dakota Coyotes, where he played as a redshirt freshman. Beckett's older brother Cooper is currently an NFL cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jason Luv is weeks away from making his boxing debut against his rival, Adam22 ... and he tells TMZ Sports the real reason why the popular podcaster is fighting him is 'cause he needs his manhood back!!

We chopped it up with Luv as he prepares for his showdown with Adam ... and he tells us there is nothing fake about the hard feelings between the two heading into their match.

"It's a little animosity, because you got to remember, I smashed his wife, and all the fans and people are saying all kinds of crazy things," Jason said. "So he feel like he got to regain his manhood, and I'm here to try to make sure that I still take it away."

Steelers legend James Harrison says longtime head coach Mike Tomlin ain't goin' anywhere, telling TMZ Sports his job is "100% safe" for the 2026-27 season.

We spoke with the two-time Super Bowl champ ahead of Monday night's Texans vs. Steelers Wild Card game ... a matchup set up by Pittsburgh's stunning win over the Ravens last week.

In fact, the game's losing head coach, John Harbaugh, lost his job after taking the L.

Many people believe Tomlin could suffer the same fate with a loss in the playoffs, but Harrison doesn't think so.

The key to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ turnaround from one of the NFL’s worst teams last season to one of the best entering this year's playoffs is simple!

Kicker Cam Little tells TMZ Sports it all stems from first-year coach Liam Coen, who instilled a winning culture with a basic mindset change.

“Liam has harped on taking it 1-0 each week and that mindset is a tough one to beat,” Little said. “Whoever we play next week, that’s all we’re focused on. We’re not focused on the second round, third round, AFC, Super Bowl, we're not focused on anything besides who we play on the weekend. When you have that 1-0 mindset, it builds for a good culture because you’re playing for everything the next week.”

Devin Haney's ex-fiancée, Leena Sayed, is seeking to modify the couple's custody order on their one-year-old child ... as she's hoping to post their child on social media without needing his approval -- TMZ Sports has learned.

According to court docs we obtained, Sayed wants to change an agreement the two parties made in connection with the custody order filed in October 2025. In it, they signed off on not posting their kid on the internet unless both sides submitted a written consensus on it.

In the latest filing, she claims Haney is exercising that term "in an unduly burdensome way" to the point where Leena is unable to post Khrome at all ... or only if the shots are taken with "some proximity to his presence."

She shared three exhibits in the papers. In one of the examples ... she asked Devin if she could post a photo of herself and the child in matching pajamas -- in which Haney responded with "nothing with the baby."

She was, however, allowed to post an image of their child watching him fight in Saudi Arabia in October 2025, which he even reshared to his story.

In a declaration she provided, Sayed said she is requesting the order because "social media is an important part of how I share my life with friends, family, and with my social media followers."

"Khrome, and her representation on my social media account, is important to me, and I want the right to be able to post her without the requirement of Devin's approval, which I believe to be unduly withheld without judicial intervention."

A hearing is scheduled on the matter later this month.

Carmelo Anthony is a diehard Baltimore Ravens fan ... and he tells TMZ Sports he was "shocked" to see John Harbaugh get fired -- but he's got faith the front office knows what it's doing in finding a new leader on the sidelines.

The Super Bowl-winning coach was handed his pink slip earlier this week -- a move that came after 18 years with the organization and 193 wins in both the regular season and playoffs.

We talked to the NBA great -- who grew up in Maryland for part of his childhood -- fresh off the news outside 30 Rock in NYC ... and he's not flocking over to a new team anytime soon over the change.

Mike McDaniel is gone -- is Tua Tagovailoa next? Terron Armstead hopes not ... telling TMZ Sports he believes he has what it takes to remain the Dolphins' No.1 quarterback!

Speculation's been mounting after Tagovailoa was benched for the final three games of this past season ...  following a year in which he threw a career-high 15 interceptions and was sacked 30 times.

The rumors intensified after McDaniel was fired this week ... with many thinking whoever the next Dolphins' next coach is probably moves on from Tua.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might have found their good luck charm for 2026 -- at least that’s what star wideout Mike Evans told rookie defensive lineman Elijah Roberts after his mother showed off her pipes last week!

Roberts’ mom, Shanda, sang the national anthem before Saturday’s season finale over the Carolina Panthers -- a game they won -- and Elijah tells TMZ Sports his teammates all want her to come back after the dub ... a proud son moment for the young player

“I knew she would kill it,” Elijah told us. “I knew she also would be super nervous, but I’m nervous before every game, too. It was just crazy it lined up that the game she sang was the game for us to win to have a chance to get into the playoffs too.”

We also spoke to Shanda, who has been singing anthems at big events, including several Miami Heat games, for years. So, when the Bucs asked her last summer to sing for them, she didn't think twice.

Jaxson Dart is one of the hottest young quarterbacks in the NFL ... but sorry, ladies -- he's taken!!

The New York Giants star and Most Valuable Promotions event model Marissa Ayers went Instagram official on Friday ... after weeks of speculation the two were an item.

That being said, it's not a real shocker ... and Ayers even referenced all the chatter in the caption of her post on Friday -- "rumor has it… @jaxsondart."

Turning Point USA is pushing full steam ahead with plans for its own Super Bowl halftime show ... but the conservative org is keeping key details under wraps.

Aubrey Laitsch, public relations manager for TPUSA, tells TMZ ... "The All American Halftime Show" is 100 percent on -- though fans will have to tune in live on Sunday, Feb. 8 to find out who’s taking the stage.

Laitsch says multiple performers are already locked in, but she declined to reveal who they are ... or even what type of performers viewers can expect.

She was also tight-lipped about where the show will take place, and wouldn’t confirm whether it will actually air live.

Stefon Diggs won't have to face a judge until after the NFL season -- the New England Patriots star's arraignment in his assault case has been postponed.

TMZ Sports has confirmed Diggs' court date was initially slated for Jan. 23, two days before the AFC Championship Game. However, his attorney stated in court filings that Diggs has a "previously-scheduled professional commitment" on that date.

It's now scheduled for Feb. 13 -- five days after the Super Bowl.

The Pats have a legit shot at making it all the way to the Big Game this year ... and should they win it all, Diggs will be able to partake in all the post-Super Bowl festivities.

TMZ Sports is going live from the newsroom to discuss the day's biggest stories ... but we don't just want folks to watch and enjoy the conversation, we want y'all to get involved!!

12:24PM PT -- "Haley Kalil disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that were of no legitimate public concern and subjected Matt Kalil and his family to widespread ridicule and unwanted attention,” Matt Kalil's attorney, Ryan Saba, tells us.

“Haley Kalil shared these sensitive personal details about her ex-husband in an apparent quest to seek fortune and fame. Her actions were extreme, outrageous, beyond all possible bounds of decency, and have caused substantial harm to Matt Kalil, his family, and his business.”

Haley Kalil's well within her rights to talk about the Coke cans her ex Matt Kalil's packing in his pants, her lawyer says ... because she has erotic autonomy.

Matthew Bialick -- Haley's lawyer -- tells TMZ ... he plans to file a motion to dismiss Matt's lawsuit within three weeks of being formally served the summons or complaint, which hasn't happened yet.

Bialick says it's totally unreasonable to file a lawsuit on the basis of making someone liable for "exercising her sexual sovereignty by truthfully describing a sexual experience that left her in tears" ... adding it violates his client's right to free speech.
