On the final Sunday night of the 2020 regular season, to the horror of nearly every NFL fan (particularly a large portion of the ones in the New York city area), the Philadelphia Eagles pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts in favor of backup Nate Sudfeld for no clear reason, gifting in the process, a division championship to their rivals the Washington Football Team.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open on this embarrassing episode and what galaxy-brained strategy head coach Doug Pederson could have been employing.Our experts recap all 16 games from Sunday's schedule including the wild finishes between the Texans and Titans, Browns and Steelers and the utter beat-downs carried out by the Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 17 Preview: What's next for Dwayne Haskins & who will win the NFC East?
When Charles Robinson said on the most recent episode of this podcast, "that's it, it's over," in regards to Washington QB Dwayne Haskins, he didn't think the team would waive him 12 hours later. But that's what happened.Charles & Terez Paylor kick off this episode of the podcast breaking down the simultaneously shocking, yet not surprising news that the former first rounder was released by the Washington Football Team on Monday. What's next for the former Ohio State star? And what do our experts think of ESPN's Booger McFarland's comments calling out young Black athletes in response to Haskins' dismissal? (2:05)The departure of Haskins from Washington and the potential departure of Carson Wentz just up the road in Philadelphia inspire a conversation about contract extensions for young quarterbacks. With new deals for QBs heading into their fourth year being all the rage, should Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson receive extensions this offseason? (18:50)Week 17 is just around the corner and we can't wrap up the 2020 regular season without one more segment of NFC East talk. With the division title still up for grabs for all but one of these squads, what are Charles & Terez looking for as the Washington Football Team takes on the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys travel to the New York Giants? (35:50)Our experts close out the podcast discussing some of the other playoff scenarios in the AFC & NFC as Derrick Henry looks to notch a 2,000 yard season, Aaron Rodgers hopes to win a third MVP and a pair of battered NFC West teams in the Rams and Cardinals fight for a wild card spot.

Week 16 Sunday Night Freestyle: With one week left, did Aaron Rodgers just take the lead in MVP race?
With just one week left of 2020 NFL regular season games remaining, the coveted MVP award that was, at one point, clearly destined for Russell Wilson, and at another, evidently Patrick Mahomes' for the taking, appears to have changed hands for perhaps one last time. The Green Bay Packers dealt the Tennessee Titans a decisive 40-14 loss on Sunday night, and in doing so, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw 4 TDs in another stellar performance. Where does the MVP race stand at the season's final leg? Do the Chicago Bears owe Mitchell Trubisky another shot in 2021? How do the Dallas Cowboys, who are potentially one win away from the most unlikely playoff berth ever, avoid "the velvet rut?"Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson address all those questions and the league's major storylines, recapping all fifteen games from this weekend's action.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Week 16 Preview: What's wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers?
After an 11-0 start, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked Super Bowl-bound and people around the league questioned whether 16-0 was in play? Three weeks later, the situation is very different. Having lost to the Washington Football Team, Buffalo Bills and, on Monday night, the lowly Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers appear in free-fall. What doesn’t help matters is their Week 16 opponents are the Indianapolis Colts who boast the league’s best defense.After briefly touching on the San Francisco 49ers acquiring former tenth overall pick Josh Rosen from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the podcast trying to diagnose: what’s wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers? When the culprits are an aging Ben Roethlisberger, an ineffective offensive line, a defense worn thin by key injuries, the blame can be spread everywhere. JuJu Smith-Schuster losing a fumble after dancing on the Bengals logo for a TikTok video certainly doesn’t help either. (4:10)Later, Terez drops the audio of an interview he conducted earlier in the week with former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson (née Ochocinco) where they talk about the state of touchdown celebrations and Chad reveals his rankings of the best wideouts of all time (spoiler: Jerry Rice is third). (15:45)In the second half of the podcast, Charles & Terez discuss two disappointing stories coming from the Washington Football Team. First, Charles sheds light on team paying out $1.6 million to settle a sexual misconduct claim about owner Dan Snyder and how this is potentially the tip of the iceberg in regards to damaging nondisclosure agreements. Afterwards, they talk about Dwayne Haskins being spotted, mask-less, at a strip club following Washington’s loss on Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks. (34:00)Wrapping up the podcast, the guys preview two Week 16 matchups as the Los Angeles Rams hope to bounce back in Seattle after their embarrassing loss to the New York Jets; and the Tennessee Titans travel to the Green Bay Packers as Aaron Rodgers and Derrick Henry attempt to make their MVP case.

Week 15 Sunday Night Freestyle: Catastrophic win for the New York Jets
The New York Jets had one simple job: keep losing games. Unfortunately for scores of Jets fans, the team that’s tortured them for decades continued to twist the knife of dramatic irony. In a stunning upset, the Jets beat the Los Angeles Rams 23-20 and effectively handed control of the number one pick in this April’s draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson kick off the show breaking down the implications of this wild result, how it potentially changes the fate of Trevor Lawrence and how this win serves as Adam Gase’s cruel parting shot to the franchise and its fans that’ve been waiting to jettison him all season.The guys recap all of the games from Week 15 including the loss that handed the New England Patriots their first losing season in 20 years, the astonishing duel between Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray, Tom Brady’s latest comeback against the poor Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland’s tenth win and more.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

To the dismay (or joy) of Philadelphia Eagles fans, rookie QB Jalen Hurts is making his first NFL start this weekend as the New Orleans Saints travel to town. Terez Paylor is joined by Yahoo Sports senior college football writer Pete Thamel as well as Yahoo Sports' lead draft analyst Eric Edholm to talk about Hurts' interesting college career and what to expect out of his first professional start.

Week 13 Sunday Night Freestyle: Are the Giants poised to make an end-of-season run?
The New York Giants took the prize for the most surprising outcome of Week 13 with their late-afternoon road win in Seattle. The G-Men held Russell Wilson's Seahawks to a paltry twelve points and likely snuffed out the QB's MVP chances in 2020, earning their fourth straight win along the way.Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast discussing the resurgent New York Football Giants and the commendable job first-year head coach Joe Judge has done with the squad. They also break down the one area Kansas City needs to improve if they want to be successful this January, Carson Wentz' benching for rookie QB Jalen Hurts, the New York Jets snatching defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to a questionable Gregg Williams defensive call and the rest of the Week 13 slate.Stay up to date with the latest NFL news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsNFL.Follow Charles @CharlesRobinsonFollow Terez @TerezPaylorTag your questions for the guys on Twitter with #YahooNFLPodcastCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports Podcast family at https://apple.co/2Abi8jk or at yahoosports.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
