In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab share their immediate reactions and takeaways from each Wild Card game on Saturday and Sunday as the NFL playoffs officially begin. Before things get started, the boys reflect on the New England Patriots’ hiring of Mike Vrabel as their new head coach. Both agree that the signing of Vrabel is a success for the franchise. However, with the squad still in need of a major overhaul, it is clear that Vrabel’s work is only just beginning.

The action heats up as the boys break down the Washington Commanders’ victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with rookie QB Jayden Daniels’ poise under pressure continuing to impress. Does the young quarterback have a better rookie year than CJ Stroud? Frank believes so and currently rates him as one of the top five quarterbacks in the league. Next, the conversation shifts to the Green Bay Packers’ disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with Fitz criticizing Jordan Love for his failure. Is Love still a top quarterback?

Later, Fitz and Frank cover the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Buffalo Bills, where Josh Allen’s brilliance stood out. Jason and Frank also address the Pittsburgh Steelers’ ongoing struggles under Mike Tomlin and whether or not the team’s QB woes are the missing piece to their Super Bowl hopes. Additionally, the duo examines the Houston Texans’ explosive defense and Justin Herbert’s struggles in big games. Fitz and Frank conclude with their final predictions for Monday night’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams.
