Can Josh Allen and the Bills capitalize on an open AFC + the latest coaching carousel news
Scoop City: Inside The NFLShow Notes
The NFL regular season is complete, the playoff field is set, and the coaching carousel is already spinning. On today’s episode of Scoop City, we break down everything that mattered from the Week 18 finish — how the final results locked in seeding, shaped the Wild Card Weekend matchups, and revealed which teams are entering the postseason with momentum and which ones raised new concerns.
We run through the full playoff picture, including the Seahawks and Broncos securing the No. 1 seeds in the NFC and AFC, the Bears and Patriots locking up the No. 2 seeds, and how the rest of the bracket came together. Which top seed is actually the most dangerous? Which Wild Card team do we trust the most? And which playoff teams should be worried after ending the season in shaky fashion?
From there, we turn our focus to the rapidly evolving NFL coaching cycle. With Pete Carroll fired by the Raiders, Kevin Stefanski out in Cleveland, and Raheem Morris dismissed in Atlanta, several high-profile jobs are now open. We discuss the most appealing vacancies, the top head coaching candidates and coordinators generating buzz, and which coaches make the most sense based on roster construction, quarterback situations, and organizational direction. Plus, why some teams — like the Bengals, Colts, and Ravens — are choosing continuity instead of change.
