After practically being out of danger all season, the top seed in the NFC is suddenly in danger. With a shoulder injury to QB Jalen Hurts likely to put Gardner Minshew in the starting position for at least this week, the Philadelphia Eagles suddenly find themselves in a high-leverage division match against the playoff hopeful Dallas Cowboys Saturday afternoon.
Karl Robinson is connected by Yahoo Karl McDonald & Jori Epstein to discuss what this means for the Eagles, Cowboys and the overall NFC playoff picture now that Hurts is likely to be absent for at least a week and may not even return before the January playoffs.
Later in the show, the crew breaks down a number of interesting week 16 games and key storylines to keep things straight. The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets face off Thursday night, and the spotlight will be on top picks of 2021 Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, the latter making his second straight start after previously replacing the now injured Mike White was benched season.
The Cincinnati Bengals-New England Patriots clash could mean a lot to Bill Belichick, who is enjoying a rare losing season. Charles Robinson explains why missing out on the playoffs could mean a new test for Belichick under owner Robert Kraft.
Finally, the gang wraps up the show, where they talk about the fading Seattle Seahawks taking on a defensively stunted Kansas City Chiefs squad, and how the legend of Brock Purdy has a shot at growing (or too decay).
