After a truly hideous, miserable Thursday Night Football game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears, both franchises are left with questions at the QB position. For Chicago, Caleb Williams has issues holding onto the football for too long and oftentimes overlooks the easy play for the dramatic one. Can the Bears organization rely on him to execute their offense regardless of who is hired as head coach? Meanwhile for Seattle, Geno Smith has been good but not great all season long. Is it time to move on from his inconsistency? And if so, is there even a quarterback out there worth trading for? Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab answer these questions and more in their breakdown of the game.

In this week’s QB Room, C Rob looks at the quarterback situation in Minnesota with Sam Darnold & J.J. McCarthy. Will the Vikings franchise Sam Darnold and punt on McCarthy in light of his unexpected success this season? Or should they let Darnold walk away and fully commit to McCarthy while he’s still on his rookie contract?

To wrap, the trio react to Aaron Rodgers’ comments about the Jets needing to be “professional” and discuss if it’s fair for him to call out the Jets when he mishandled the preseason and minicamps.

As we enter the penultimate week of the NFL season, Nate Tice and Charles McDonald are back to break down all the action from a festive—but somewhat underwhelming—set of Christmas games before deep diving on the most interesting matchups to look forward to this weekend. The duo kicks things off by revisiting the Kansas City Chiefs' dominant win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, where despite some strong production value, the game got blown open as the Chiefs appeared to be entering postseason mode. The show then pivots to a tough reality check for the Houston Texans, who were completely outclassed by the Baltimore Ravens. While CJ Stroud did his best, the Texans’ glaring weakness in the trenches is hard to ignore, and Nate has some strong thoughts on their offensive line struggles.

Next, Nate and Charles deep dive on the Denver Broncos @ Cincinnati Bengals matchup—a defensive hoss fight that features some of the league's top talent, including Ja'Marr Chase and Patrick Surtain II, and preview an intriguing Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings game where defensive adjustments will likely determine the outcome.

As the episode rounds out, the guys tackle a high-stakes game for the Atlanta Falcons, who need a win against the Washington Commanders to keep their playoff hopes alive, and a double slop watch featuring the Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles and the Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The duo wrap up with a mailbag question, as Nate and Charles dissect the complexities of motion in the NFL and why some teams choose not to use it very often.

In this episode of Inside Coverage, hosts Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab dive into every game from Week 16 of NFL action, starting with the shocking upset of the Philadelphia Eagles by the Washington Commanders. The loss, coupled with the continued success of the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, has put Philly in a tough spot, and the pressure is mounting on Jalen Hurts and company, while Jayden Daniels showed why he is the consensus Rookie of the Year. The conversation then shifts to the Minnesota Vikings' win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks’ inability to find consistent quarterback play leaves them stuck in the middle of the NFC West, and Fitz is skeptical about Seattle’s chances of making a deep playoff run. Fitz and Frank also dissect the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where the Ravens made a major statement and showed what they can be at their best, and Frank notes that Pittsburgh’s lack of playmakers outside of Pickens has been a major weakness.

Later, the dynamic duo cover the rest of Saturday and Sunday's games, including the Houston Texans' mounting injuries, the Las Vegas Raiders' victory, Michael Penix Jr's first start and much more. The show concludes with a preview of the Monday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints, where both hosts are in agreement that the Packers are poised for a dominant performance.
