 It is the week 17 edition of the OT presented by Lowe's which means that by the end of this show you'll know everything there is to know about the playoff scenarios for 2018 slash 19. The Saints despite losing today still own home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys won an exciting game against the Giants. Atlanta came back to knock off Tampa Bay. Detroit blanked Green Bay 31-nothing by the way Aaron Rodgers left that one with a concussion and Buffalo. Easy win over the Miami Dolphins and so up to date up to the second here's what the playoff bracket looks like in both the AFC and the NFC. Not much is changed except at the bottom where the Vikings have been replaced by the Philadelphia Eagles and as we look at the wild card matchups. First of all in the AFC the only thing left to decide is tonight's Colts Titans winner will make it into the playoffs as a wild card. They will take on the Houston Texans while the Chargers and the winner of the Ravens and Steelers are still left there on the other side. Philadelphia and the Bears will meet and the NFC along with the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys rematch of a week three game in which the Seahawks won rather easily but the big question for that Eagles Bears contest is who's going to be the quarterback. Carson Wentz has been out. Nick Foles played today started but had to leave the game. Nate Stuttfeld finished up the kid out of Indiana in just his third year. We want to bring in Jake Lazer right now to get the latest on what the quarterback situation is for the Eagles going forward. Jake. Well Curt you saw Nick Foles go in the locker room. He did get X-rays on his chest area sternum and the ribs. Right now they're just calling it bruised ribs. It was an awful lot of pain when you got taken in to get those X-rays. However they want to be cautious. They do have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow morning but before they make a decision on Nick Foles again he was in a lot of pain when it first happened not as much pain right now and also just a side note here is they are scheduling a scan for Carson Wentz for his back later this week just in case there's an outside shot. He could be ready for the playoffs. All right. So lots to talk about there. Maybe Carson Wentz comes back. Maybe he does it. Hopefully Nick Foles does. If not then maybe down to the third string quarterback. The only chance that Pittsburgh has to make it into the playoffs would be for the Tennessee Indianapolis game tonight to end on a tie. If one team wins Pittsburgh misses the playoffs. Michael I think when you take a look at the start of this season Minnesota and Pittsburgh are probably two teams a lot of people would even pick to go to the Super Bowl. Now both are on the verge of missing the playoffs. I think Minnesota is a little bit of a different boat bringing in a new quarterback. With Pittsburgh you saw all you know all the talent that they had there and when you just see these guys play it they're so inconsistent and I think that's the frustrating thing about the Pittsburgh Steelers. And in Minnesota if you're they're frustrated. I'm sure Kurt Cousins is frustrated. Season hasn't gone anywhere near what I'm pretty sure he expected what the Vikings expected when they brought them in and that's TV like I say gave them all that money but it's but this is a guy who is a talented quarterback but it just didn't translate in Minnesota this season. He was a missing piece. He was a missing piece but it didn't elevate it as much as they wish they elevated the quarterback position when they brought him in. Today was confusing. This Vikings team is far too talented to play the way they did at home in a play-in game. Disappointing. When you really needed it. Yeah I expected them to play like their hair was on fire. I mean he had 132 yards. When you when you think that you're one player away that's to me is that's just a kiss of death right there. Particularly at the quarterback position. Yeah I don't care what position well yeah especially a quarterback because number one you're expecting that quarterback to come in. He's got to learn a brand new system. He's got to get used to all those players and you just turn to switch on and do that. That takes time and they change coordinators. Exactly right now they fire the court with three weeks ago. You get it. You know you want your team to be more balanced play to the strength of your football team which is your defense but still I go back to the same thing. We could talk about the quarterback. We could talk about the talent. It's how they played today. Yeah. That's the discipline emergency. On the flip side you take a look at the Chicago Bears team and this is a team that theoretically had nothing to play for. They were locked into the three seed. Now that the Rams game has gone final. L.A. will be the number two seed but they came out. They won the game. They go from five wins last year to twelve this year winning nine of their final ten as they go into the playoffs. Philly is coming which means we are going to have to contain how long as his sons will be going head to head. Yeah how long are the Bears and Chris Long of the Eagles next week. Some would say it's a good problem to have. I don't know who they are. Didn't our camera guy George? Who are you rooting for? George that's the dumbest question I've ever heard in my life. Don't do that. Totally but talk a little bit about this Bears team. Well who do you think is going to win Howie. That's the second dumbest question I've ever heard. Who are you rooting for. I think when you look at this team right there for them to do what they did today to go into that dome and beat them the way they did. We talked about the Vikings how frustrating it was but I think you have to give the Chicago Bears a little bit of credit. They were able to run the football with Jordan Howard. He had over a hundred yards. Richard Trubisky. I think we all share the same kind of frustrations with him. He'll hit the three point shot with the guy in his face but then missed the layup sometime. But I still think they can win with that because that defense is just outstanding. I mean you got Khalil Mack one of the best defensive players in the NFL. Trubisky made more really good throws today than I think in any game I've seen. You can always take a great ball. You can take a great defense on the road and play anywhere in the NFL and they'll play well. They just do. Offense is a different story. I agree. Well the Bears are playing as well as anybody in the NFC right now. Some of the Philadelphia Eagles so that's going to be an intriguing match up to watch. Those two teams will be playing on wildcard weekend. Keep in mind though the Saints and the Rams both have buys now after the Rams clinched the number two seed with their win over the San Francisco 49ers. Look we don't know about the health of Nick Foles next week but if he is healthy and Jay says there's a small chance Carson Wentz would be healthy. Which guy would you play going in the quarterback. Wentz who's your guy or Foles who got you here. Well whoever's the healthiest obvious. I think I think I think that Foles is going to be fine. I'm watching when he got hit. I'm watching when he got up and I know if he's got a rib injury you don't push up and get off from a rib. I think I think it was more of the shot he took from Clowney a week ago. Really. Well maybe they maybe they had blocked it somehow. Jay said it was the chest. But if they're both healthy who do you start. Well you're starting quarterback is Wentz. That's who you start. I'm sorry. I think you stay with Foles but that's what they would do. The Sunfell kid is a third year kid out of Indiana that obviously has not been active came in and played and played well today. Very few teams keep three quarterbacks and Philadelphia is one of those teams that do that. If the only reason they kept him was they knew that if they got rid of him he was like well enough around the league that he would be picked up. Well to ask him who's going to start out of those two is like at the Halloween. Who's going to win the game. How are you going to pick the game next week. That's the big question here at this desk. First of all I have Kyle Long and Chris Long's phone number and they will return on the Terry's calls. OK next week America I'll have all the insight of to what's going on. So as it is how you got to you got to where you're leaning. Where you're leaning big guy. Go my wife. I think we have made the point that how we sons are playing a playoff game next week. We've got other team playing in playoff next week as well including the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys. They will host the Seattle Seahawks. Jake laser reported in our pregame show that as many as seven to nine coaches will be fired. So they will be heading home. Jay has that already started. It actually started about a half hour ago. The coaching carousel is starting to spin around and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the first to do it. They've gotten rid of their head coach their Carter Jacksonville Jaguars. They have announced that their head coach Doug Morone and Dave Caldwell will be back playoff injuries. We just talked about Nick falls a couple others. Big Rams got a big scare and their left tackle Andrew Whitworth went down knee injury just got a text from them. He said Bruce kneecap should be good with the bye week. And the Dallas Cowboys got a scare with Leighton Andervesh Van Der Resch. He went down. He got a shin kick three times in a row same spot just a bruised shin. They think he'll be good to go for this week. All right. Those two teams breathing a big sigh of relief and how is we take a look at the AFC playoff picture. I think the Baltimore Ravens have to be breathing a little sigh of relief. They came close to losing this game against the Cleveland Browns which would have eliminated them in the playoffs. They wind up winning the division and they will host the loss hands on with Chargers next week. You know in the league implemented you know a lot of the from a scheduling standpoint division games towards the end of the season makes it more all the more difficult. Baltimore lost to Cleveland earlier in the year. It's a tough out. Cleveland's a pretty good football team here at the end of the year. Now Baltimore gets the Chargers only this time in Baltimore. Chargers get Hunter Henry possibly back. They're tight end has been on IR. Indy travels to Houston. Another division game. So I think the teams that rolled in the Chargers, the Patriots, Kansas City and the AFC all rolled into the play. Are you picking Indy to win tonight? Is that what you're doing? They still got to play Tennessee tonight. I am. I'm assuming Indy wins. I'm picking Indy to win. I didn't pick them today. I think Tony did. Yeah I picked Indy. I picked them as well. Chargers have played really well on the road this year. America's banking on that. Excuse me. Who are you picking next weekend? You can only come back to that. But the Chargers have played well on the road. But as you can see Baltimore, I mean it's going to be tough to play on the road. The elements and all that stuff. A lot different weather from being out in LA. But on top of that, defenses as you said, TV, defense in the playoffs is always key and they travel well. But I think Baltimore defense is tough and the way they close out that game today was really impressive. Yeah. On the NFC side, we got a couple of teams playing very good defense that will go on to the postseason. One match up will be the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears whose defense is probably as good as anybody in football. And that Seattle Seahawks defense going against the Dallas Cowboys, they'll have to do it Tony. On the road, we'll have one of those games for you next week. But as we get ready to wrap up week 17 and the 2018 season, let's go to who won the day. Start with you down on the end, Tony Gonzalez. You know, I'm going to go with some tight ends out there. One in Kansas City, Travis Kelsey and the other one, George Kittle out there in San Francisco. They both broke the all-time single season record set by Grant Kowski for most yards in this season. But George Kittle from the San Francisco 49ers actually owns the record now. So hats off to them. Hats off to them. And who won the day for me is Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens defense, especially the way that they, you know, finished off the game today for him to come in and fill in for a Super Bowl champion like Joe Flacco and Kerry. This team, the way he has, especially ways running the ball has been really impressive. And good luck at the playoffs, Baltimore. Matt Nagy, 5 and 11, last place last year for the Bears, 12-4 this year when the division finished up the season, played to win today on the road with not a lot to play for, particularly after half-time. And my person is Diane Long and her son, Chris and Kyle will be playing one another this week. Diane, what a great mom you are. What a thrill. That's got to be Diane Long. We will see you next week before our playoff came for you right here on Fox.
