After relegating him to QB4, the New York Giants officially release Daniel Jones. Jason Fitz & Frank Schwab ask what went wrong in the ‘Daniel Jones era’ and look ahead to where he might be able to still land on his feet elsewhere in the NFL.

The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 in the snow during Thursday Night Football. The Steelers showed they might not be the postseason contenders we imagined in this game where their offensive star George Pickens was almost nowhere to be seen. All the Browns' problems seem to lie with their quarterback, but would getting a new QB in the 2025 NFL Draft truly get them back to winning ways?

Fitz, Frank, and Charles look ahead to next season for Aaron Rodgers. If he’s not retired or with the New York Jets, where could the veteran QB realistically go? Plus, the trio look at two other QB contracts worth keeping an eye on in the second half of the season with Brock Purdy’s new deal with the San Francisco 49ers and if the Steelers will extend Russell Wilson.

The three then ask which teams they really, truly trust to win either the AFC or NFC. Can the Steelers be trusted to win the AFC after a loss to a Browns team with nothing to lose? And is there anyone in the NFC who can threaten the Detroit Lions?

Nate Tice is joined by Charles McDonald to look ahead to Week 12 of NFL action and give one thing to watch for every game, including a deep dive on the two biggest games of the week.

Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to go behind the scenes on the latest news and storylines from around the NFL. The New York Jets fired their general manager Joe Douglas, which leads to a conversation about the future of the Jets and whether the complicated late-career saga of Aaron Rodgers is truly coming to an end after this season. In other New York quarterback news, the Giants benched QB Daniel Jones and are planning to start Tommy DeVito with Head Coach Brian Daboll's job potentially on the line. Is desperately trying to win games really in the best interest of the 2024 New York Giants?

Later, Jori delves into her latest reporting around Chicago Bears OC Thomas Brown and the changes he's made to build around rookie QB Caleb Williams, and how Brown's focus on creating a simpler ecosystem for Williams is already showing on the field. Frank has officially launched the Mike Tomlin for Coach of the Year campaign, and he argues why Tomlin is having his best ever year leading the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The hosts wrap up with Frank's latest controversial power rankings – as Frank attempts to defend keeping the Kansas City Chiefs above the Buffalo Bills despite the outcome of Sunday's head-to-head matchup – and predictions for Thursday night's matchup between the Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.
