Playoff confidence index, AFC North buzzsaw & what's happening in the MVP race
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss on Sunday Night Football three days ago feels like it took place last month, mainly because there have been FOUR NFL games since then. And if we didn't already get our Christmas wish, get ready, there's more Thursday, Saturday and Monday night football to come.After discussing the state of the MVP race, Charles Robinson welcomes Yahoo NFL editor Joey Gulino to the podcast to recap the quartet of weeknight games we've had since Sunday – another loss for Russell Wilson's Seahawks, the encouraging Eagles hovering around .500 and more disappointment for the Browns and Bears.Sticking with the Browns, Charles & Joey dive into the razor thin margins of the AFC North. With only three weeks left to go in the regular season, each team is still capable of either winning the division or missing the playoffs completely. The guys break down how they think it will shake out for the Browns, Ravens, Bengals and Steelers in the season's final weeks. (34:00)In the latter third of the show, Charles & Joey kick off their first "belief index" heading into the playoffs. Which five teams are they most confident could pull off a Super Bowl run? Sure conference-leading teams like the Chiefs and Packers lead that squad, but what other dark horse candidates do they consider trustworthy?

Urban Meyer implosion & best soon-to-be available NFL coaching jobs
Things continue to not look great for Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer. His team is 2-11, his press conferences have and increasingly frosty, yet defeated attitude and the man can't even muster a proper hand-shake for opposing head coaches. The drumbeat grows ever stronger that, despite the financial implications for owner Shahid Kahn, Urban may be a one-and-done NFL head coach.To weigh in on the state of Urban, Charles Robinson welcomes none other than College Football Enquirer hosts Dan Wetzel & Pat Forde. Later, they discuss a number potentially soon-to-be open head coaching jobs and which the Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears, New York Giants or Minnesota Vikings would be most appealing to an incoming HC.Later, they chat a bit about the incoming rookie class of 2022, a pair of QBs to look at in the class of 2023 and if Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is the long lost third Bosa brother.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Week 14 Sunday Night Freestyle: Aaron Rodgers, Bears co-owner, leads a Sunday of OTs and blowouts
In the immortal words of Dennis Green, "they are who we thought they were!" You could apply that to just about every team in Week 14? The Green Bay Packers? They whalloped the Chicago Bears. That's what they do. The Kansas City Chiefs? Smoked the Las Vegas Raiders. That's who we thought they were. Even the Buffalo Bills in a dramatic overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing valiantly on the back of a monstrous Josh Allen performance but ultimately falling short — that's who they are.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab recap this chalky week of NFL action where, for the most part, the teams we expected to win took their Ws in emphatic fashion. From Aaron Rodgers' MVP-like ownage of the Bears to the Denver Broncos emotional tribute to the late Demaryius Thomas, Charles & Frank hit every game in the Week 14 slate.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Buying into the Patriots, parsing the playoff picture & teams that should rebuild
A football team winning a 14-10 game in which the quarterback only threw three times sounds like something out of an experimental junior college in Montana. But that was the New England Patriots on Monday night football, securing a half game lead for the AFC's top seed with only five weeks left in the 2021 NFL season.Charles Robinson is joined by Yahoo Sports managing editor Al Toby to talk about the Patriots odd MNF win, why there's still some cause for Mac Jones hesitancy and if the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens have records inflated by shoddy wins.Later in the podcast, Charles & Al discuss the current state of the NFL playoff picture, and discuss teams in various states of disarray like the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants & Houston Texans as the season comes to a close.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonPlease support Terez Paylor's legacy by supporting the Terez A.

Elsewhere in the AFC North, the Cincinnati Bengals blew the doors off the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second time this year.Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab kick off the Sunday night podcast touching on the Thanksgiving day games, but mainly ask the question: is there an AFC team you feel comfortable about winning three games in January?The answer is a resounding: I don't know.
