security concerns they could take american data or manipulate content. the app has said that's not true. tiktok today welcoming users back with a message crediting president trump and saying in a statement, the trump team provided the necessary clarity and assurance for service providers. also writing they're working with mr. trump on a long-term solution. >> we are so back, and the vibes are absolutely immaculate. >> reporter: meanwhile, some users tonight celebrating the return of a social media giant. >> savannah sellers is with us now. savannah, to be clear, to the degree that this is a solution, it is only a short-term one. >> reporter: hallie, that's right. there are still open questions about what a long-term solution would be. so, the lot allows for the president to decide what counts as a qualified divestiture. so, if any american company or individual buys 50%, that could be enough. we'll see if that gets done within 90 days. hallie? >> lots of folks watching that. savannah, thank you. now to the game that everybody is talking about. the eagles one step closer to the super bowl tonight. after a stressful one against

we are back with the dramatic change in the nfl. it used to be the quarterbacks were all about the throw, how good their arms were. now, they need fast legs too, with qbs running the ball more than ever, and some, like tom brady, now throwing the flag. steve kornacki breaks it down for us. >> lamar jackson is gone. >> reporter: there was this 48-yard touchdown run from lamar jackson. >> runs for it, he got it. >> reporter: this clutch touchdown run from josh allen. >> oh, the play of the year! oh, he's got a ton of room. >> reporter: if you think today's nfl quarterbacks are running the ball more, you're right. >> he's in for the touchdown! >> hurts with the move -- >> reporter: tom brady even lamenting this trend during last

weekend's eagles/packers game. >> just hate seeing the quarterbacks run the ball. not my favorite play in the , world. >> reporter: but here's how much the game has changed around brady. this is this year's playoff quarterbacks, how they did during the regular season. look, lamar jackson, he ran for 915 yards, jaden daniels, almost 900, jalen hurts, 650. if you took tom brady's career average as a player, look where he'd be, 54 yards, almost the bottom of the list. >> in the short term, the running quarterback has added juice and excitement to every snap. >> spectacular touchdown! >> reporter: mike tirico leads nbc sports nfl coverage. >> the rise of the mobile quarterback, the dual threat quarterback. how much has that changed the game? >> it's really simple math. when you have a quarterback who you have to account for his ability to run, it just makes it a more difficult opportunity for the defense to cover the eligible receivers and the quarterback when he drops back to pass.

>> daniels on first down. >> reporter: what is the future, though, the way football is heading for a traditional stay in the pocket, drop back passer? >> steve, those days are over. >> young, back to throw. >> reporter: hall of fame quarterback steve young says it all started with a change to the nfl rules. >> about ten years ago, they changed the rule where defenders could not launch -- lead their head to make a tackle. >> reporter: that meant it was safer for quarterbacks to make a run for it. >> it's a huge deal, and it opened up -- it basically made the field so much bigger. it's the quarterback's legs that make the difference. >> reporter: the change had been huge. 15 seasons ago, playoff quarterbacks were averaging a total of 31 carries for the entire season for 79 yards. this season, it's almost 80 carries for nearly five times as many yards. and that has tom brady worried. >> i don't think it really goes with the theme of protecting the quarterback. >> he's going to run for the first down. >> reporter: dolphins qb tua tagovailoa took this big hit on

a run, his third concussion in two years. >> second and 20. >> reporter: the eagles' jalen hurts missed the final two regular season games after suffering this concussion during a run. of course a hard sack can injure a qb too. >> running, scoring again! >> reporter: this new way to play, changing the game on the field and how we watch it. >> as a broadcaster, a mobile quarterback, does it make calling the game trickier for you? >> oh, it makes it more fun. this is where the magic happens. that brings you to the edge of your seat. so, as a broadcaster, i'm all for it. keep running, guys. >> reporter: steve kornacki, nbc news. when we come back, our one on one with super bowl champ shannon sharpe on his hugely successful second act. wl champ shannon sharpe on his hugely successful second act. e, hands,t called tardive dyskinesia, or td. so her doctor prescribed austedo xr— a once-daily, extended-release td treatment f for adult ♪ as you go with austedo ♪
