8:30 pm
what is this? >> it's a joke. my adviser is from texas and he told me he will give me the russian title belt if we win the game. here sit right here. >> michele: you did win the rushing title single season record for the eagles in rushing yards. to do it on this stage, what does it all mean? >> it's amazing. part of the accolades and stats and records, if we don't win today, none of that means nothing. i'm just blessed. i'm blessed with my teammates to go out here and win a big, big game. you know, no we're into the playoffs. >> michele: everyone thinks maybe it's a misperception but that this offense under chip kelly is, you know, full of bells and whistles. yet, today, it was a lot of running. what did you expect coming in? >> we knew we were going to run the ball. we had success last week running the ball and we're a running team. today we didn't play well, like eagle football. myself i didn't play up to my ability. but, hey, it's a tough season. them guys over there are good. without romo they still played well. they have a lot of play makers
8:31 pm
and they showed up today. we knew we had to fight to get it and that's what we did. >> michele: you're the third seed which means you get to host new orleans next week. what kind of a difference does that make? >> it's a difference coming in here and having our fans rooting for us and screaming. philadelphia fans are the best. so they'll be on our side and they have drew brees and a good team. we have to prepare and we'll be ready. >> michele: eagles fans are reluctant to believe match what do you say to them? >> they support us through the good and the bad. we're going to play good and play bad. it's a long season. we're playing for them. they paid their hard-earned money to watch us play and we're doing our best for them. philadelphia, we in the playoffs baby. >> michele: congratulations. thank you, lesean and michele. looking ahead to saints at eagles next week after somehow losing ten-consecutive home games over two seasons the eagles won their last four in a row at home. saints 8-0 at the super bowl, just 3-5 on the road for
8:32 pm
whatever that may be worth. here is the nfc playoff picture. the seahawks and panthers earned the week off. the eagles are the three seed. they host the saints. and quite a turn of events for the packers get rodgers back. they get a late-comeback win in chicago and now with just eight victories they get a home playoff game next week against the 49ers. bring in tony dungy. tony, how far do you think rodgers and the packers can go now? >> bob, they're going to have a tough game next week against san francisco. the 49ers are a defense that can go and win on the road. but i like where green bay is sitting. they got aaron rodgers back. they also got randall cobb back and their offense is energized now. they have some defensive deficiencies. i believe with rodgers and cobb back i they can go on the road and win. >> the play we just saw the play that won it at soldier field for the packers was a fourth and eight near midfield that went
8:33 pm
for the game-winning touchdown. on to the afc. the broncos have home field. the patriots get the other bye. the bengals are the third seed. they host the chargers. but grab the final playoff spot with their overtime win against the chiefs. the chiefs will travel to indianapolis for the other wild card game. tony, the broncos were the number one seed last year and they lost at home to the ravens in overtime. do you see a team in the field that could beat the broncos this year? >> well, i think new england obviously would have the best chance but i really feel like this is denver's year and this is peyton manning's best opportunity to get that second super bowl ring. i was concerned about denver's defense so many injuries, von miller, their pass rusher, champ bailey not being there. but i don't see a dominant defense in the afc. i don't see anybody going into denver to shut them down. this will be denver's year with the number one seed to get peyton manning to the super bowl. >> all right, tony. thanks.
8:34 pm
we turn now to mike florio of pro football talk. chudzinski was fired tonight. who else might lose their job this week? >> bob, the first coach to watch is mike shanahan in washington. he is due to meet on monday with owner daniel schneider. it's widely believed that shanahan will be fired after four seasons on the job. also, in detroit, jim schwartz the head coach of the lions will be meeting with ownership on monday. some mixed opinions on whether or not he will be fired. we'll find out more on monday morning. reports that frazier is out with minnesota. finally, mike munchak has been with the titans organization for more than three decades. he will be meeting this week with ceo tommy smith who has said that he is agonizing over what to do with the team's long-time head coach. meanwhile, couple other names to keep an eye on, greg schiano of the buccaneers, unclear what ownership will do with him and dennis allen of the raiders is believed to be on the hot seat but said after today's
8:35 pm
loss to the broncos he firmly believes he should have an opportunity to return for another season. in pittsburgh, they never make coaching changes, so that's not going to happen this year. especially with the team nearly making it to the post season. and they came closer than most realized to making it to the post season. the end of the day's chiefs/chargers game, when ryan missed a 41 yard field goal won the game for the chiefs, here is what was going on on the field specifically on the line of scrimmage for the san diego chargers. a new rule this year limits teams to having six players on any one side of the ball. the chargers had seven. the league privately acknowledges and may publicly acknowledge on monday that a flag should have been thrown. he would have gotten another opportunity, five yards closer if he made what would have been a 36 yard field goal, chiefs win and steelers go to the playoffs. >> wow. always something to talk about. not just on monday but in this case throughout the post season if you're a steeler fan. our thanks to mike florio.

8:47 pm
from a ventilator as soon as tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. a hospital spokesperson has said that is what will happen unless they get a court order otherwise. he also said the hospital has not heard from the family's torney for more than 24 hours now and does not know about the status of any of the facilities the family has been in contact with. this afternoon a fund-raiser to help pay for jahi's potential transfer to another hospital was called off because the family has not been able to secure a facility. that's according to the family's pastor whoin stead led a prayer service for the 13-year-old and had her family. four doctors including a court-appointed neurologist have all declared jahi legally brain dead. because of this the hospital says the mother no longer has any say in her care. but jahi's family believes she is still abelielive and want to everything they can to keep her on a ventilator. the 13-year-old has been on one for more than two weeks now as the family has looked for a facility to transfer her to. i have reached out to the family's attorney by telephone,

fremont police are working to stop street racing before the trend grows violent. officers say in the past two months groups ranging in size from 10 to 300 cars have been racing and holding side shows on fremont boulevard and auto mall parkway. the races are not only illegal but leave behind litter, marked-up roads, torn-up lawns and put employees of nearby businesses on edge.
8:53 pm
officers with the department's traffic division say it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt or killed. >> they're basically doing 70, 80 miles an hour on streets not designed for those speeds. they're driving in areas where the general public who does happen to be i do down there at that time of night are not expecting cars to be doing 80, 90 miles an hour on the wrong side of the road. they see two sets of headlights coming toward them, no place to go. a crash is going to happen. >> fremont hasn't had any dangerous crashes this year as a result of sideshows, but several people were killed six or seven years ago when racing in the area was at its worst. police say even watching a street race can result in an arrest. a popular outdoor music festival opens today with increased security following the death of a petaluma teenager last year. this year three-day snow globe music festival in south lake tahoe will include double the number of buses compared to last year. it will also have extended hours for a heated tent for those waiting for a ride. authorities believe 19-year-old

melissa byrne tried to walk to the hotel to avoid the shuttle bus lines. her body was found two days later on a route back to her hotel. authorities say she died of hypothermia. right now we're going to check in with meteorologist anthony slaughter on the weather situation around the bay area. what's up, anthony? >> good evening, diane. we saw very bad air quality over the past seven days. we were finally looking at improving air quality. as we head through the day tomorrow. we are not having to spare the air. here's what we're looking at. good to moderate levels across the bay area for tomorrow. you'll also find as we head through this upcoming week by wednesday, thursday, that air quality will really start to improve. even today saw some very picturesque scenes across the bay area with our sunset. you'll notice right now we've got clear skies for the most part. no fog to speak of even in san francisco. but here's the thing. improving air quality. that fog will start to return as we head through this upcoming week. i do think by tomorrow night we will be looking at that fog and that will start off our new year's eve. here's what we're looking at, though, to set up.
8:55 pm
high pressure in control. you can see the clouds kind of drifting in through that high pressure. those clouds aren't going to really impede us a whole lot tomorrow. in fact, what we're going to be looking at is bright sunshine once again, but by tuesday this area of high pressure will push off to the south. that will allow for that ocean breeze to kick back in. so tomorrow night fall definitely does return and that means a foggy start for tuesday and even some fog as we head through new year's eve and new year's day. for your daytime highs tomorrow pick out your microclimate zone. in the south bay mid 60s is what we're expecting. same in the peninsula. san mateo 66. palo alto 65. san francisco not as warm as it was today. back into the upper 60s for today. low and mid 60s across the board from inner richmond over toward the embark darro. north bay, that's where some of our warmest air across santa rosa, 68 degrees. east bay and tri-valley a good mix of mid to upper 60s. we talked about improving air quality and it's all because our winds now have begun to shift from offshore to onshore. so tomorrow we're going to see that onshore wind continue to
8:56 pm
breeze on through. we'll see a few high thin passing clouds for the most part but i don't think we're going to be looking at any precipitation. but again, tomorrow night that fog does return. and if you are making plans for new year's eve, well, it's going to be a pretty good new year's eve across the bay area. we're looking at temperatures that will be back into the 50s for the most part. if you're already going to be making plans to see some of the fireworks at the embarcadero. winds will be light. that's good news. but again the fog will start to roll on in. especially around 10:00, 11:00. so it does look like we'll see poor visibility. but at least we're not talking about having to spare the air. some good news there. overall you'll notice on the seven-day forecast at the bottom of your screen, no rain as we found out 2013. so overall one of the driest years on record, going down in history. but let's hope for better luck in the weather department as we head through 2014. diane, back to you. >> looking for some rain. all right. thank you very much, anthony. stanford is of course going for its second straight win at the rose bowl on new year's day. before the game a same-sex couple from santa monica will exchange vows as part of the
