What happened: Blaise Taylor, a former scout for the Tennessee Titans, was found guilty on all four counts in the killing of his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn child. A jury returned the verdict after deliberating for less than three hours.

Why it matters: The conviction closes a criminal case involving a member of an NFL front office's scouting operation, a rare and grim intersection of the league's personnel ranks and a capital-level crime. The guilty verdict on every count exposes the Titans organization to renewed scrutiny of a former employee's conduct off the field.

What to watch: Sentencing is the next step in the case. Watch for any statement from the Titans regarding their former scout.
