In this episode of Insider reportingJason Fitz and Frank Schwab delve into the fallout from every game of Week 17 NFL action, from a looming monster matchup to a coaching decision that could change the landscape of the 2024 season. Fitz and Frank agree: Next week’s showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions is one of the riskiest regular-season games ever, and Campbell has a big decision to make about whether or not to sit players out on Monday night.

As the duo break down the week’s most important matchups, they discuss Sam Darnold’s explosive performance for the Vikings, why the Green Bay Packers still haven’t proven they can beat top teams and how the Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for the playoffs. The Denver Broncos suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with hopes of making the playoffs, while the New York Jets’ disastrous performance against the Buffalo Bills raised even more questions about their future. Fitz and Schwab also deal with Brock Bowers breaking records and the Indianapolis Colts’ playoff chances fading due to a disastrous performance.

Fitz and Schwab also weigh in on the fate of Mike McCarthy after the Dallas Cowboys’ embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and the rest of Sunday’s team before offering their uncertain predictions for a difficult game Monday night between the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers.
