Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Steelers-Chiefs game was pushed back to 8:20 Sunday night because of an ice storm headed to the Kansas City area.

— Broncos named Mike McCoy OC, Bill Musgrave QB coach, hiring a couple of coaches let go by their division rivals.

— Packers WR Jordy Nelson has broken ribs, is out for Sunday’s game with the Cowboys.

— East Carolina hoop coach Jeff Lebo is having hip surgery, will take a leave of absence.

— San Diego Padres signed Will Myers to a six-year contract worth $80M+.

— Texas Longhorns suspended their top scorer indefinitely for “breaking team rules”, which most probably means he flunked a drug test or two.

— 76ers are 12-25, but they’re +37 in points when Joel Embiid has been on the floor; thats a very impressive stat.
