The NFL continues to excite in its 100th season, even with only four games on the schedule. While the contests were not as close as those in the Wild Card round, there was plenty of activity off the field this week. Several coaches changed places, two more were honored in an unusual way, the XFL announced some of its more interesting rules, plus the usual injuries and bad behavior are all a part of this week’s column. 

WINNERS

Henry stars in another Titans upset - Derrick Henry put together another stellar game, rushing for 195 yards and also threw a touchdown pass as Tennessee upended top-seeded Baltimore, 28-12, on Saturday night. 

Baltimore forced Tennessee to punt on its first possession. The Ravens went on the move, but the drive was ended by Kevin Byard, who returned an interception of Lamar Jackson 31 yards into Baltimore territory. Eight plays later, Ryan Tannehill bounced back from a sack by Earl Thomas and tight end Jonnu Smith’s one-handed touchdown catch was upheld by replay.

The Ravens tried to respond, but the Titans stopped Lamar Jackson on 4th-and-1. Tennessee capitalized on the next play, with Tannehill completing a 45-yard scoring pass to a diving Kalif Raymond for a 14-0 lead. Two Justin Tucker field goals, including one at the end of an impressive Baltimore drive, cut the Ravens’ deficit to 14-6 at halftime. 

Baltimore started strong in the second half, but the opening drive ended after Tennessee stopped Jackson on a 4th-and-1 once again. Henry took advantage, blowing by defenders for a 66-yard run. Last week, Henry scored on his 26th birthday. This week, he finished the drive as a cross between a quarterback and an NBA shooting guard, tossing a three-yard jump-pass touchdown to Corey Davis, who was celebrating his 25th birthday. 

On the next offensive play, Jackson fumbled on a Jurrell Casey sack, and Jeffrey Simmons recovered the ball for Tennessee on the Baltimore 20. Six plays later, Tannehill faked a toss to Henry and dove into the end zone himself for a 28-6 lead. Jackson tried to lead the Ravens back. He tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Hayden Hurst, but two other lengthy Ravens drives ended with Titans stops on fourth down.

Henry went over the 180-yard mark for the third straight game, dating back to Week 17, and his 561 yards are the most by a player in their first four playoff games in NFL history. Tannehill had just 88 yards passing, and he is the first quarterback in 45 years to throw for fewer than 100 yards and a touchdown and win two straight playoff games (Terry Bradshaw accomplished the feat in the 1974 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl IX, his first of four titles with the Steelers). Tennessee is the first team to win a playoff game after being outgained by at least 200 yards (Baltimore by 230 in this game). The only other time that happened was the 2009 NFC Championship Game, when the Saints beat the Vikings despite having 214 fewer yards. New Orleans would go on to win Super Bowl XLIV. 

Jackson threw for 365 yards and ran for 143 in a losing effort. The MVP candidate is the first player to record at least 300 passing and 140 rushing yards in a playoff game. His favorite target was Marques “Hollywood” Brown, who had seven catches for 126 yards. 

Chiefs spot Texans 21 points, come back to win big - Houston quieted the crowd in Kansas City with three quick touchdowns, only to see the home team score 41 straight points en route to a 51-31 victory on Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs are the first team in playoff history to trail by at least 20 points and come back to win by at least 20. 

Houston has had struggles scoring early this season, so when the Texans won the coin toss, they decided to take the ball and see if they could put up some quick points. The strategy worked, as some mixed up coverage in the secondary led to Deshaun Watson’s 54-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Kenny Stills. Kansas City went three and out on its next possession, Barkevious Mingo blocked Dustin Colquitt’s punt and Lonnie Johnson Jr. returned it 10 yards for another score. 

Later in the first, Tyreek Hill muffed a Brian Anger punt and Keion Crossen recovered for the Texans on the Chiefs six-yard line. Two plays later, Watson found tight end, Darren Fells, with a four-yard touchdown pass. After another Kansas City punt, Houston went on a nine-play drive that ended on a Ka’imi Fairbairn field goal and a 24-0 lead. 

The Chiefs responded and three big plays later, they were on the scoreboard. Rookie Pro Bowler Mecole Hardman returned the kickoff 58 yards into Texans territory. Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce with a 25-yard pass and then found running back Damien Williams with a 17-yard score. 

Houston tried some trickery on their next drive with a run on a fake punt, but Kanas City snuffed out the play and took over on the 33. A pass interference penalty on Johnson set up a Mahomes-to-Kelce touchdown pass to make the score 24-14. The Texans continued to come unraveled, with DeAndre Carter fumbling away the ensuing kickoff return, giving the Chiefs the ball at the six. Mahomes found Kelce again three plays later and Kansas City’s three scores in 3:24 cut the deficit to three points. 

After another Houston punt, Kansas City took over at its own 25. Mahomes hit Hill and Kelce with 20-yard passes and had runs of 21 and 14 yards to set up a controversial five-yard touchdown to Kelce. Replay showed Mahomes’ foot was still on the five while the ball and the rest of his body was in front of the line (I would like someone to explain to me why only the nose of the football has to touch the goal line for it to be considered a touchdown while the same rule doesn’t apply to the thrower’s body on a forward pass). 

The third score between the two put the Chiefs on top for the first time in the game, 28-24. Watson got the Texans into field goal range, highlighted by a 38-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins, but Fairbairn missed the kick, ending the highest-scoring first half in NFL playoff history. 

Damien Williams rushed for two touchdowns in the third quarter for a 41-24 Kansas City lead. Houston closed the gap to 10 on a Watson five-yard scramble late in the quarter, but Mahomes found backup tight end Blake Bell with an eight-yard pass for his fifth touchdown of the game. 

Mahomes threw for 321 yards and led Kansas City with 53 yards rushing. He joins Doug Williams (Super Bowl XXII with the Redskins) as the only players to throw four scoring passes in a quarter in a playoff game. Damien Williams added 47 yards to his two scores (and also had a receiving score), Kelce had 10 catches for 134 yards and three touchdowns and Sammy Watkins totaled 76 yards receiving. The Chiefs had a streak of seven straight drives in which they scored a touchdown. 

Watson had 388 yards and two touchdowns passing and 37 yards and a score on the ground. Hopkins had nine receptions for 118 yards, and Will Fuller (five catches, 89 yards) and Stills (80 yards and a score) also had strong games for Houston. 

San Francisco tops Minnesota in the opening game - Tevin Coleman ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns to lead the 49ers to a 27-10 win over the Vikings in the first Division Round game on Saturday afternoon. Raheem Mostert added 58 yards on the ground and Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 131 yards and a touchdown as San Francisco pulled away to score a victory in its first playoff game since the 2013 NFC Championship Game. 

Kirk Cousins passed for 172 yards and a score, and Stefon Diggs (57 yards and a touchdown), Adam Thielen (50) and Irv Smith Jr. (39) topped receivers, but the 49ers held Dalvin Cook and the Vikings to just 21 yards on the ground. Minnesota’s 147 net yards (including sacks against Cousins) were the fewest allowed by San Francisco in the playoffs during the Super Bowl era. The 49ers gave up just 156 yards in a 30-3 win over the Rams in the 1989 NFC Championship Game.  

San Francisco shut down Minnesota on its first drive, and Garoppolo found Kendrick Bourne with a three-yard touchdown pass to give the 49ers the lead. The Vikings came right back, with Cousins hitting Diggs, who made a move around his defender to catch the ball and backed into the endzone, tying the score on the 41-yard play. 

Coleman scored his first touchdown midway through the second quarter. Minnesota made the score 14-10 at halftime on a Dan Bailey field goal, but San Francisco turned a Cousins interception into Coleman’s second score and a 24-10 advantage with five minutes left in the third. The 49ers got another break when Marcus Sherels muffed a punt, leading to a Robbie Gould field goal early in the fourth. 

Rodgers leads Packers past Seahawks - Aaron Rodgers threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns as Green Bay held off Seattle, 28-23, in the weekend’s final game. Aaron Jones had a 23-yard run on the first play and Rodgers ended the drive with a 20-yard pass to Davante Adams. The Seahawks closed the gap with a field goal, but Rodgers responded with four straight completions to set up a Jones scoring run and a 14-3 Packers lead after one quarter. 

Green Bay extended its lead after Jason Myers missed a 50-yard field goal for Seattle. Rodgers led his team on an 11-play drive featuring two key passes plus an 18-yard run by Tyler Ervin. Jones’ second touchdown run gave the Packers a 21-3 lead, and a Seahawks late drive fell short as the clock reached halftime. 

Russell Wilson brought Seattle closer with a 10-play drive highlighted by his 22-yard run and a 24-yard pass to rookie DK Metcalf. Marshawn Lynch closed the possession with a one-yard scoring run. Rodgers responded with a 27-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham to set up a 40-yard touchdown to Adams, giving Green Bay a 28-10 advantage. The next Seahawks drive consisted of 12 plays and ended with a Wilson seven-yard pass to Tyler Lockett with 39 seconds left in the third. 

After a Packers punt, Wilson completed passes to Lockett (19 yards), Metcalf (14), Jacob Hollister (19) and Travis Homer (16), setting up Lynch’s second one-yard run. Wilson failed on his two-point attempt, but the Seahawks closed the gap to 28-23 with 9:33 left. Seattle forced a punt on the next possession, but not before Green Bay took 4½ minutes off the clock. Wilson started the drive with a 14-yard pass to Lockett, but Seattle punted soon after. Rodgers and the Packers used the rest of the clock, thanks to a 32-yard completion to Adams and a nine-yard pass that was upheld by replay after Graham worked his way toward a game-ending first down.

Jones ran for 62 yards to go with his two scores and Adams set a Packers playoff record with 160 receiving yards. Wilson threw for 277 yards and a touchdown and led Seattle with 64 yards rushing. Lockett finished with nine catches for 136 yards and a score. Lynch had two touchdowns, but only totaled 26 yards on 12 carries. 

Conference Championship Game Schedule

Tennessee at Kansas City, Sunday at 3 p.m. (CBS)

Green Bay at San Francisco, Sunday at 6:30 p.m. (FOX)

Cowher, Johnson informed of Hall of Fame induction on the air - A special moment occurred off the field on Saturday night. Bill Cowher was with his CBS studio crew breaking down the impending contest between the Texans and Ravens when he was joined by a special visitor, Pro Football Hall of Fame president David Baker. Cowher was told of his induction into the Hall as part of the “Centennial Slate” a 15-person group of players, coaches, and contributors who will join five Modern-Era players in honor of the NFL’s 100th season. 

The scene was complete when Cowher’s wife and daughter came out to the set and the rest of the CBS panel (James Brown, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, and Nate Burleson) sported t-shirts with his name and Hall of Fame on them. 

Cowher had a 149-90-1 record in 15 seasons in Pittsburgh. He led the Steelers to an AFC Championship in 1995 and a victory over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. Before that, Cowher played four seasons with Cleveland and Philadelphia, spent four years as a special teams and defensive backs coach with the Browns and three years as the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator. 

Baker made another appearance during halftime of the Seahawks-Packers game on Sunday evening to bestow the same honor upon former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson, who was in the studio with the usual FOX cast of Curt Menefee and Jay Glazer, plus Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Tony Gonzalez. Johnson fought back tears when Baker informed him of his selection, saying: “The only thing I can think of is all the assistant coaches that worked for me, all the great players that played for me, they're the reason I'm here. This is so special to me because when you put in the work that we put in, it's nice to know people appreciate it.”

Johnson got his start in the college ranks, working as a defensive coordinator with Arkansas and Pittsburgh before head coaching roles at Oklahoma State (1979-83) and Miami (1984-89), where he won a National Championship with the Hurricanes in 1987. 

Johnson replaced longtime head coach Tom Landry with the Cowboys. After a 1-15 record in 1989, Dallas began to turn things around behind Johnson and the “triplets” (Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin). He amassed a 44-36 record in five years in Dallas and led the Cowboys to a pair of Super Bowl titles, but a strained relationship with owner Jerry Jones led to Johnson leaving in 1994 after a Super Bowl XXVIII victory. 

Johnson had a 36-28 record four seasons with the Dolphins, leading Miami to three playoff appearances. However, a 62-7 loss to the Jaguars in the 1999 Division Round led to Johnson retiring from coaching, and he has been with FOX ever since. 

The rest of the “Centennial Slate” will be announced during NFL Network’s Good Morning Football show on Wednesday.

More coaches landing in new places - On Tuesday, the Panthers reached a seven-year, $62 million agreement with Matt Rhule to become the team’s fifth full-time head coach. The deal includes a $2.5 million signing bonus for the former Baylor head coach. Rhule took over a Temple team that went 2-10 in his first season in 2013 and led the Owls to back-to-back 10-win campaigns in 2015-16. He pulled of a similar trick with Baylor, turning around a team that went 1-11 in 2017. The Bears had winning records the past two seasons, including an 11-3 mark in 2019. Rhule’s only NFL experience was as an assistant offensive line coach with the Giants under Tom Coughlin in 2012, and he was under consideration in New York before Carolina’s offer. 

One of the major advantages of being a new NFL head coach is that your team usually allows you to bring in your own coaches. That is the case with Rhule, who hired Phil Snow as a defensive coordinator. Snow worked with Rhule both at Temple and Baylor. His job will be to improve a Carolina defense that ranked 31st in scoring and 23rd in yards allowed in 2019. 

Meanwhile, former Panthers coach Ron Rivera is adding some assistants to his new staff in Washington. Rivera hired Scott Turner, his former quarterbacks coach in Carolina and the son of ex-Redskins coach Norv Turner, as the new offensive coordinator. Turner spent most of 2018-19 working with Cam Newton and Kyle Allen and took over as offensive coordinator on an interim basis after Rivera was fired with four games left in the season. He will be charged with helping the development of Dwayne Haskins Jr. 

Less than an hour after Rhule agreed to be Carolina’s coach, former Patriots special teams coordinator Joe Judge was hired as the next head coach of the New York Giants, replacing Pat Shurmur. Judge spent eight seasons in New England as a special teams assistant and then coordinator (he was also the team’s wide receivers coach in 2019). While others like Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniels have gotten more attention, Judge also learned under Bill Belichick and put together a solid special teams unit led by kicker Stephen Gostkowski and coverage player Matthew Slater, who holds the record with eight Pro Bowl selections at the position. 

Although Judge has not filled out his coaching staff yet, there are rumors of him hiring Jason Garrett as offensive coordinator. Garrett spent the past 10 years as head coach of the NFC East-rival Cowboys. 

One guaranteed hire for the Giants is defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who served in the same capacity with the Dolphins in 2019. Graham was New York’s defensive line coach in 2016-17 and was an assistant with the Patriots from 2009-15, where he worked alongside both Judge and Dolphins coach Brian Flores. Graham led an understaffed and overmatched Miami defense that gave up a league-high 30.9 points per game in 2019. 

Meanwhile, the former Giants coach did not take long to find a new home. Pat Shurmur replaced Rich Scangarello, who was fired on Sunday after one season as Denver’s offensive coordinator. Shurmur held the same position with Minnesota when he was named the NFL’s Assistant Coach of the Year in 2017, but he could only manage a 9-23 record in two seasons with New York. He will go from leading rookie quarterback Daniel Jones to a 3-9 mark as a starter to tutoring rookie Drew Lock, who went 4-1 in his five starts for the Broncos in December. 

The final open head coaching position has finally been filled with the Browns hiring Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, who was the runner-up in last year’s Cleveland coaching search, which was “won” by Freddie Kitchens. He began as an assistant with Minnesota in 2006 and has coached Vikings tight ends, running backs and quarterbacks before earning a promotion to the top offensive coaching spot last season. 

New Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is beginning to fill out his coaching staff. He is strongly considering bringing back offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and also added current New Orleans linebackers coach Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator. The Cowboys will be Nolan’s eighth team with which he has held the top defensive post, and he was also the head coach with the 49ers from 2005-08. In that role, he actually hired McCarthy as his offensive coordinator for the 2005 seasons. McCarthy left San Francisco after one year and spent the next 13 as head coach of the Packers. 

The Rams have to replace several coaches as well, including defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who was let go last week, and special teams coach Jim Fassel, who is expected to join McCarthy in Dallas. Los Angeles hired Kevin O’Connell as offensive coordinator. He held the same post under Jay Gruden in Washington and controlled the team’s passing game prior to his promotion. He spent three years with the Redskins, succeeding Sean McVay, who similarly left for the West Coast. Also on Friday, Los Angeles named Brandon Staley as their new defensive coordinator. Staley has spent the previous three years as a linebackers coach under Vic Fangio, two with Fangio as Chicago’s defensive coordinator and 2019, when both moved to Denver after Fangio earned his first head coaching position. 

Ravens sign former Bengals tackle - Andre Smith, a first-round pick by Cincinnati in 2009, signed with AFC North rival Baltimore on Thursday, giving the veteran lineman his first taste of action in the Division Round. Smith has been beset by injuries throughout his 11-year career. The former sixth pick held out through most of the 2009 preseason, then suffered a fractured left foot during his first week of practice and missed 10 games. He had another foot fracture that cost him eight games in 2010. Smith missed the entire 2014 preseason with a concussion, then a triceps injury put him out of action for the season’s final five weeks. He moved on to Minnesota in 2016, but missed the final 12 games after sustaining another triceps injury.

Smith returned to Cincinnati for the 2017 season, but missed the final three games with a knee injury. With Arizona in 2018, he started eight games, but missed three more with an elbow injury before being released. Smith came back for a third stint with the Bengals, which included three games last season and six more in 2019 before he was released at the end of November. Overall, he has played in 116 of a possible 176 games. 

XFL announces some (strange) new rules - The new incarnation of the XFL, the brainchild of WWE wrestling chairman Vince McMahon, will start next month after the Super Bowl. The first league lasted just one season (2001), but brought about catchy nicknames (Rod “He Hate Me” Smart) and rules (“No fair catches”), and the new incarnation is offering even more of the latter. 

Among the rules in play for the new XFL include:

  • Double-forward pass - If you complete a forward pass behind the line of scrimmage, you can throw it forward again. 

  • No-kick extra points - Instead of kicking, teams can attempt a one-point play from the two-yard line, a two-point from the five or a three-point play from the 10. 

  • Multi-possession overtime - The league will offer something similar to NHL shootouts or penalty kicks in soccer. Each team will get five single-play possessions with each score worth two points. The team with the most points after the five possessions wins. 

  • Other pace-of-play rules - The “no fair catch” rule carries over, with teams needing to give the returner five yards of space; no gunners on punts, with all players needing to remain on or behind the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked; touchbacks go to the 35-yard line and kickoffs that go out of bounds or fail to reach the receiving team’s 20-yard line will go to the 45. 

LOSERS

Goodbye to Super Bowl ticket stubs? - The NFL is considering eliminated “in-hand” ticket stubs for Super Bowls beginning with the 2021 game in Tampa Bay, according to an original report from The Athletic that was confirmed by league and industry sources. The report says the NFL is looking for about 10,000 mobile ticket entries for this year’s game and is looking into the pitfalls of going fully digital in terms of ticket reservations. The league could potentially issue some sort of commemorative ticket for those who are into the nostalgia of having a tangible memory of attending the game. 

The conversion has many other side decisions attached, however. The change could potentially end the creation of fraudulent or duplicate tickets (although I’m sure an experienced hacker could negate this advantage). In addition, the league could use the digital format to not only collect personal information about fans but also prevent secondary market sellers from gaining access to tickets. 

So let’s see, the NFL is making fans show “tickets” on their phones to get into the stadium, MAYBE giving fans some sort of proof that they were at the game, siphoning all sorts of sensitive information from them in order to get seats in the first place and eliminating second-party sellers so they can control prices even more. All this after some people paid as much as $3,295 on Ticketmaster to go to last year’s snooze-fest between the Patriots and Rams. I guess I will be watching on television once again. 

McCown, Alonso injured during Wild Card games - While NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills praised Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz for self-reporting his concussion during last week’s game against the Seahawks, his backup, 40-year-old Josh McCown, played through injury. McCown revealed that he had torn his hamstring off the bone during the game. He grabbed behind his leg during the second quarter after a throw and felt a second “pop” during the third quarter. McCown will undergo surgery to repair the damage, and then require about six months of rehab and recovery. 

Also during last weekend’s games, Saints linebacker Kiko Alonso suffered a torn ACL in a Wild Card loss to the Vikings. For Alonso, it’s the third ACL tear of his career. The 2013 second-round pick by the Bills missed all of 2014 after his first tear in the offseason. He suffered a partial ACL tear with the Eagles the following year. After three years seasons the Dolphins, Alonso signed with the Saints and played 13 games in 2019. 

Another veteran who went under the knife was Rams safety Eric Weddle, who underwent a “meniscus trim” and is expected to need several weeks to recover. The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro have missed just seven games in his 13-year career. Weddle had 108 tackles with Los Angeles in 2019, but he could be looking for a new home if the Rams decide to go younger in the secondary.

While there was no league punishment for Seattle defensive end Jadeveon Clowney for his hit on Wentz during last weekend’s Eagles-Seahawks game, and Cody Ford was fined for a hit in the Bills-Texans contest (more on that soon), it will be interesting to see if the NFL fines 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, who hit Vikings right tackle, Brian O’Neill, with a blindside block during Saturday afternoon’s Division Round game. O’Neill was evaluated for a concussion after being hit by Bosa during a third-quarter play in which Richard Sherman intercepted Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. 

Bills face investigation and lineman gets fined - The Bills might be in trouble with the NFL for not reporting injuries to defensive end Jerry Hughes. The Buffalo chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America alerted the league to Hughes’ Twitter feed, where the 10-year veteran stated: “I wasn’t going to let those torn ligaments in my wrist slow me down...”. The league states that players must be listed on injury reports even if he participates in practice. According to head coach Sean McDermott, Hughes was on the injury report for a groin injury and “veteran rest” but not for his wrist issues. 

While his team may be in hot water, right tackle Cody Ford was fined $28,075 by the league. The punishment stems from an unnecessary roughness penalty for a questionable blindside block against Texans linebacker Jacob Martin in overtime, costing the Bills 15 yards and the chance at a field goal. Buffalo punted instead and Deshaun Watson drove Houston down the field for the game-winning kick. 

Jags fire DeFilippo, Eagles drop two offensive coaches - The Jaguars ranked 26th in scoring offense and 20th in total yards in 2019, which led to the team dismissing offensive coordinator John DeFilippo after just one season. While Jacksonville announced head coach Doug Marrone will be coming back for the 2020 season, the same could not be said for DeFilippo, who has not lasted more than a year as offensive coordinator for three teams. He was in charge of the Browns offense in 2015 and was let go by the Vikings before the end of the 2018 season. 

On Thursday, Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson announced offensive coordinator Mike Groh and wide receivers coach Carson Walch will not return to the team. Groh, the son of former New York Jets head coach, Al Groh, served as Philadelphia’s wide receivers coach in the Super Bowl LII season (2017), then was promoted when offensive coordinator Frank Reich took the head coaching job with the Colts. Walch was an assistant receivers coach in 2018 and was promoted last season. 

Patriots receiver arrested, safety sees drug charge dismissed - Apparently, the fact that Julian Edelman will have offseason surgery on his shoulder and knees did not prevent him from causing mischief. The receiver was arrested and cited for misdemeanor vandalism after allegedly jumping on the hood of a Mercedes (owner unknown) in Beverly Hills on Saturday night. The three-time champion is due to appear in court on April 13.

While Edelman is getting charged, Patriots safety Patrick Chung could see his charges dismissed. Chung was arrested in New Hampshire on June 25 and charged with one count of cocaine possession on August 8. 

As a first-time offender, Chung was able to work out a deal with the State that will conditionally dismiss the charge, provided he meets four conditions: 1) He must avoid felony, misdemeanor and traffic charges over the next two years; 2) He must undergo drug testing every month for the next 12 months and every 90 days throughout 2021; 3) He must perform 40 hours of drug abuse prevention-related community service and; 4) He waives his right to a speedy trial and any violation of these conditions will result in a reinstatement of the charges.
