The playoff picture in both conferences was shaken like a snow-globe in an earthquake on Sunday afternoon as two developments from the late games may very well determine this January's playoff seedings.First, in San Francisco, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo left the game with a broken foot that will reportedly sideline him for the rest of the season, significantly dampening the hopes of a major playoff contender. In that game, the 49ers beat the Miami Dolphins, bumping the Buffalo Bills atop the AFC East. Paired with the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Kansas City Chiefs in the afternoon's other marquee matchup, suddenly Buffalo jumped from the fifth to the first overall seed in a matter of hours.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to all thirteen of Sunday's games from around the league including the aforementioned injury to Garoppolo, the Bengals rounding into Super Bowl form yet again, the Minnesota Vikings holding off the New York Jets, Deshaun Watson's return to football in Houston and Lamar Jackson's ill-timed knee injury.0:20 Miami Dolphins 17, San Francisco 49ers 3310:15 Kansas City Chiefs 24, Cincinnati Bengals 2718:40 New York Jets 22, Minnesota Vikings 2925:40 Washington Commanders 20, New York Giants 20 (OT)29:25 Cleveland Browns 27, Houston Texans 1441:45 Indianapolis Colts 19, Dallas Cowboys 5444:35 Tennessee Titans 10, Philadelphia Eagles 3548:40 Denver Broncos 9, Baltimore Ravens 1054:05 Los Angeles Chargers 20, Las Vegas Raiders 2757:50 Green Bay Packers 28, Chicago Bears 1959:40 Pittsburgh Steelers 19, Atlanta Falcons 1661:30 Jacksonville Jaguars 14, Detroit Lions 4064:40 Seattle Seahawks 27, Los Angeles Rams 23Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Week 13 has a number of huge games on the slate as the NFL playoff picture comes into focus, and ironically, two of the most interesting ones feature 3 teams that aren't even sniffing the playoffs.Before diving into this week's excellent schedule, Charles Robinson & Jori Epstein open today's podcast checking in on two other teams whose playoff hopes have all but been extinguished. Charles reports on former Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule and some of the comments he's made about his firing since taking a job as the new HC of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Next, our hosts talk about the Los Angeles Rams shutting down Aaron Donald for the week due to an ankle injury and how the team is likely going to be one of the worst squads for the rest of the season — great news for the Detroit Lions who possess LA's first-round pick in 2023.Later in the podcast, Charles & Jori dive into why Cleveland Browns-Houston Texans and Denver Broncos-Baltimore Ravens may not be the most appetizing on-the-field offerings this weekend, but have the most compelling off-the-field storylines between the return of Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson's contract status and the continual stories of Russell Wilson's unpopularity within the Denver locker room.After that, Charles & Jori dive into five of the spicier matchups of the weekend that will definitely have an effect on playoff seeding: the Buffalo Bills traveling to the division rival New England Patriots, Mike White's New York Jets taking on Kirk Cousins' Minnesota Vikings, a compelling NFC East matchup in the Washington Commanders traveling to the New York Giants, a Kyle Shanahan-Mike McDaniel showdown in Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers and an AFC Championship game rematch in the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to the Cincinnati Bengals.0:20 Matt Rhule begins to speak after his firing from the Carolina Panthers7:25 Los Angeles Rams' crumbling season only means good things for Detroit Lions' draft picks14:25 Deshaun Watson's return to football in Browns @ Texans26:30 Lamar Jackson's contract and Russell Wilson's locker room problems in Broncos @ Ravens37:30 Buffalo Bills look to maintain playoff seeding at New England Patriots40:35 All eyes on Mike White as Jets face Vikings47:05 Washington Commanders and New York Giants kick off two games in three weeks against each other50:15 Birth of the Kyle Shanahan-Mike McDaniel rivalry in Dolphins @ 49ers61:05 Chiefs face Bengals in AFC Championship rematchPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Quarterbacks have been injured all across the NFL landscape this November. When you're seeing the likes of Bryce Perkins and Trevor Siemian starting on Sunday afternoon, then you know the injury bug has leveled the position. The most important QB injury of the week may have been on Sunday night, when Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers took a shot to the ribs that removed him from the game in the third quarter. Paired with Rodgers' thumb injury sustained a few weeks ago, the Packers may be getting an extended look at 2020 first rounder Jordan Love for the foreseeable future.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab react to Sunday night's Packers/Eagles 33-40 barnburner and suggest that it may be time for Rodgers to ride the bench for the rest of the season if Green Bay wants to get one more legitimate look at Love. They also take a look back to the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys & Minnesota Vikings — all legitimate Super Bowl hopefuls — sweeping the three Thanksgiving day games. Later in the show, they recap the rest of this Sunday's Week 12 action, including surprising losses sustained by the Baltimore Ravens & Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Chargers winning by way of a 2-point conversion in the final seconds and a New York Jets win that may keep former 2nd overall pick Zach Wilson at the bottom of the depth chart for the rest of the season.0:20 Green Bay Packers 33, Philadelphia Eagles 406:25 Thanksgiving games: Buffalo Bills 28, Detroit Lions 25; New York Giants 20, Dallas Cowboys 28; New England Patriots 26, Minnesota Vikings 3316:50 Baltimore Ravens 27, Jacksonville Jaguars 2821:35 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17, Cleveland Browns 23 (OT)26:00 Cincinnati Bengals 20, Tennessee Titans 1630:00 Chicago Bears 10, New York Jets 3137:55 Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks 34 (OT)43:10 Los Angeles Chargers 25, Arizona Cardinals 2445:50 Atlanta Falcons 13, Washington Commanders 1950:10 Los Angeles Rams 10, Kansas City Chiefs 2655:25 New Orleans Saints 0, San Francisco 49ers 1357:20 Houston Texans 15, Miami Dolphins 3061:40 Denver Broncos 10, Carolina Panthers 23Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Thanksgiving day football is only one day away, so Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein are back to mark the occasion that signals the entrance of the NFL season into its final stretch run over the holidays.After kicking off with some turkey-day talk, Charles tees off the football conversation with the San Francisco 49ers' dominating Monday night win over the Arizona Cardinals. With Kyler Murray not present for a second straight game, are the Cardinals and Kyler heading for an unhappy divorce sooner rather than later, despite the QB signing a massive extension earlier this year?On the other side of the ball, Charles & Jori discuss the increasing supremacy of the San Francisco offense thanks to the four-headed monster of Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel & Brandon Aiyuk.Next, our hosts check in on the traditionally dysfunctional New York Jets, who face a potentially franchise shifting decision as coach Robert Saleh refuses to commit to Zach Wilson as their quarterback going forward.Closing out the podcast, Charles & Jori preview the three Thanksgiving day games in the Buffalo Bills facing the surprisingly frisky Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys hosting the division rival New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings trying to shake off last week's disappointing loss against the visiting New England Patriots.0:20 Thanksgiving talk and bad Thanksgiving food takes8:30 Arizona Cardinals' Monday night loss and increasingly tenuous relationship with Kyler Murray19:45 San Francisco 49ers gaining steam as one of NFC's powerhouse offenses.26:40 What do the New York Jets do with Zach Wilson going forward?36:50 Why the Bills and Lions could put up a fun Thanksgiving day opener40:15 Why Giants at Cowboys is the Odell Beckham Bowl46:20 Minnesota hopes to get right on Thursday night against a shaky New England offenseStay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Death, taxes and Patrick Mahomes game-winning drives. There's no avoiding any of them. The Kansas City Chiefs walked off with their fourth straight win on Sunday night, this time against the Los Angeles Chargers thanks to yet another impressive Mahomes performance, elevated by a devastating 3 touchdown game from tight end Travis Kelce.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast discussing the inevitability of this year's Chiefs team and if Mahomes has entered the Tom Brady-esque territory of being reviled by the 31 other franchises for simply being too good at football.Afterwards, Charles & Frank bounce the discussion around to all of Sunday's games and storylines, including a dominating Dallas Cowboys win over the Minnesota Vikings, the one-loss Philadelphia Eagles barely hanging on in a one-point victory over the Indianapolis Colts, whether the New York Jets should bench Zach Wilson, the drumbeat against Nathaniel Hackett in Denver and much more.0:25 Kansas City Chiefs 30, Los Angeles Chargers 277:50 Dallas Cowboys 40, Minnesota Vikings 316:25 Philadelphia Eagles 17, Indianapolis Colts 1621:40 Detroit Lions 31, New York Giants 1827:15 Cincinnati Bengals 37, Pittsburgh Steelers 3030:00 Chicago Bears 24, Atlanta Falcons 2735:40 Cleveland Browns 23, Buffalo Bills 3141:30 New York Jets 3, New England Patriots 1050:20 Las Vegas Raiders 22, Denver Broncos 16 (OT)57:05 Los Angeles Rams 20, New Orleans Saints 2759:50 Washington Commanders 23, Houston Texans 1062:10 Carolina Panthers 3, Baltimore Ravens 13Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

The 2022 NFL regular season is at its midway point. With eight (or nine) games in the books for teams in an eighteen-week season, it's time to take the pulse of the league and hand out some hardware.After checking in once more on the surprising hire of Jeff Saturday by the Indianapolis Colts, Charles Robinson, Charles McDonald & Jori Epstein devote most of this week's podcast to handing out a set of midseason awards: some real, some made up by the staff.Of course there are discussions of who should be this season's MVP, coach of the year or offensive and defensive rookies of the year, but the real fun comes when it's time to hand out hardware for best surprise team, biggest tank job & most disappointing year for a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.0:25 More head scratching about the Indianapolis Colts hiring Jeff Saturday as interim head coach15:20 Fake 2022 midseason awards: most surprising good team, most surprising bad team, best attempt at tanking, most disappointing QB season39:30 Real 2022 midseason awards: MVP, coach of the year, comeback player of the year, offensive & defensive players of the year, offensive & defensive rookies of the yearPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

Good rule of thumb: Don't make any predictions if Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is involved. That was this podcast's mistake a mere 24 hours ago, when we closed out the Sunday night recap proclaiming that Irsay would be patient with head coach Frank Reich after a disastrous 3-5-1 start to the 2022 season.In actuality, the opposite happened: the Colts fired Reich early on Monday and in an even more surprising move, hired former Colts center Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach. Saturday is widely accepted as a head-scratching decision, considering he has no coaching at either the professional or collegiate level.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab reconvene to react to this one-two punch of wild news out of Indianapolis, what to expect out of Saturday, who was passed over for the job and why it's always best to expect the unexpected with Jim Irsay.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

For a while there on Sunday night, it looked like rookie quarterback Malik Willis and the Tennessee Titans were going to outlast Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. It was a David vs. Goliath matchup for the 3rd round QB out of Liberty, and despite going home with the loss, they forced the Chiefs deep into overtime and Mahomes to throw a near-record 68 passes.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off their Sunday night recap podcast talking about the interesting game in Kansas City and why the lack of a run game for the Chiefs continues to be their Achilles heel.Later in the show, the guys recap all of the games and storylines from Sunday's Week 9 action, including a shocking New York Jets win over the Buffalo Bills, the increasing possibility that Justin Fields may be the best QB in the 2021 class & why the Green Bay Packers should've blown up the team and traded Aaron Rodgers last offseason.Tennessee Titans 17, Kansas City Chiefs 20 (OT)Buffalo Bills 17, New York Jets 20Miami Dolphins 35, Chicago Bears 32Green Bay Packers 9, Detroit Lions 15Seattle Seahawks 31, Arizona Cardinals 21Los Angeles Rams 13, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16Los Angeles Chargers 20, Atlanta Falcons 17Minnesota Vikings 20, Washington Commanders 17Carolina Panthers 21, Cincinnati Bengals 42Las Vegas Raiders 20, Jacksonville Jaguars 27Indianapolis Colts 3, New England Patriots 26Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.
