Kansas City Chiefs Select OT Eric Fisher with No. 1 Pick

Al Bello/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Kansas City Chiefs selected Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher with the first overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Fisher is projected to go right into the Chiefs' starting offensive line.

"I can't even process what's happening right now," an elated Fisher told ESPN after being drafted.  "This is a dream come true.  The fact that I was the number-one pick, I can't understand what's going on right now."

The Chiefs are beginning a new era after hiring head coach Andy Reid, who spent 14 seasons in Philadelphia and will have a new quarterback in Alex Smith. The Chiefs traded for Smith during the offseason.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected offensive tackle Luke Joeckel out of Texas A&M with the second overall pick.  The Oakland Raiders traded their third pick to the Miami Dolphins, who selected Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan.

Chip Kelly's Era Begins in Philadelphia

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Eagles got their number one guy and introduced him on Thursday.  Chip Kelly will take over in Philadelphia after Andy Reid spent 14 seasons there.  Kelly interviewed for the job, was offered the job, turned the job down before accepting the offer Wednesday.

"It's a really exciting time for me," said Kelly. "Obviously there’s not many opportunities to coach in the National Football League, there's 32 opportunities, and it's a special situation."

The Eagles targeted Kelly from day one and have faith that he is the one who will be able to work with skilled players on offense after his four seasons with the Oregon Ducks.

"It's about putting them in situations where they can be successful," said Kelly.  "Our offense is always going to tailored to who's playing."

Reid led the Eagles to a Super Bowl in 2004 and went 130-93-1.  Kelly said that Reid sent him a text message on Wednesday after news broke that he’d be the new head coach.

"(He) just told me what this organization's all about," said Kelly.  "I told him (Andy Reid) I have really really big shoes to fill and in typical Andy fashion, he said, 'Just be yourself, you'll be fine'."

During his four years at Oregon, Kelly went 46-7 and led the Ducks to four straight BCS bowl games.

Andy Reid to Coach Chiefs

Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Kansas City Chiefs finally have their man.

The Chiefs and former Eagles head coach Andy Reid have agreed to a contract for Reid to become the team's next head coach. The deal is pending review by both side's attorneys.

The Chiefs, coming off a 2-14 season, also parted ways with general manager Scott Pioli. "The bottom line is that I did not accomplish all of what I set out to do. To the Hunt family -- to the great fans of the Kansas City Chiefs -- to the players, all employees and alumni, I truly apologize for not getting the job done," Pioli said in a statement.

Pioli was with the team for four seasons, with the team going 23-29 in that time.

Eagles Fire Head Coach Andy Reid

Alex Trautwig/Getty Images(PHILADELPHIA) -- After 14 seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles have fired head coach Andy Reid.

Reid was hired back in 1999 and is the team's all-time leader in coaching wins. During his time with the Eagles, he won six NFC East titles, appeared in five NFC Championship games, and appeared in one Super Bowl. But since appearing in the Super Bowl back in 2004, the team had been on a slow and steady decline.

"Andy Reid won the most games of any head coach in Eagles history and he is someone I respect greatly and will remain friends with for many years to come," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. But, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction. Coach Reid leaves us with a winning tradition that we can build upon. And we are very excited about the future."

Despite massive expectations placed on the team the past two seasons, the Eagles went just 12-20 from 2011-2012.

Aside from disappointments on-the-field, it was a tumultuous year for Reid off-the-field as well. At the start of training camp, Reid's oldest son, Garrett, died after a long battle with drug addiction.

During his time with the Eagles, Reid went 130-93-1.

Giants Win, Fail to Make Playoffs

Leon Halip/Getty Images(EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.) -- There will be a new Super Bowl champion in 2013.  The New York Giants (9-7) did what they had to do on Sunday, crushing the Philadelphia Eagles (4-12) 42-7 for a chance to sneak into the playoffs.

New York's playoff chances ended after the Chicago Bears topped the Detroit Lions, 26-24. Eli Manning threw a career-high five touchdowns in the rout of the Eagles, but will have the offseason to think about what could have been.

This will be the seventh straight season that the defending Super Bowl champion failed to win a playoff game the following year.

The Giants were blown out the previous two weeks by the Falcons and Ravens, which didn't help their playoff chances.

Michael Vick threw for 197 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles final game of the season.  Vick may have seen his last start in Philadelphia, along with head coach Andy Reid, who both have been surrounded by questions of their return next season.

RG3 Returns, Redskins Hold Off Eagles

Patrick McDermott/Getty Images(PHILADELPHIA) -- Robert Griffin III returned and guided the Redskins (9-6) to a 27-20 over the Eagles (4-11) on Sunday.  Griffin III returned after being sidelined last weekend due to a knee injury and tossed two touchdown passes in the victory.

Kai Forbath set an NFL record for consecutive field goals with 17 straight and the Redskins are a win away from a playoff berth.

The Eagles had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Nick Foles threw an illegal forward pass which caused a ten-second clock runoff to end the game when Philadelphia was five yards away from the end zone.

"We're already onto the next one," Griffin III said. "You don't celebrate wins at this point of the season."

Eagles head coach Andy Reid would not discuss the rumors of him not returning after the season.  The Redskins will host the Cowboys next weekend.
