In this episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab are still catching their breath from an exciting NFL Divisional Round as they discuss the biggest moments from an exciting weekend of playoff action. The duo begins with the Baltimore Ravens’ heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mark Andrews’ crucial fall and unforced exit haunted Baltimore, but Fitz and Frank agree it wasn’t just Lamar Jackson’s fault. The conversation continues with a deep dive into the Houston Texans’ narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, where Fitz defends the Chiefs’ win as a product of solid football, not manipulative performance, and discusses whether KC is really that dominant as their track record suggests. .

As they move to the NFC, the Detroit Lions’ disappointing playoff performance raises questions about their coaching staff, while Frank Schwab praises rookie QB Jayden Daniels for his impressive season, one of the best in recent memory. The Philadelphia Eagles are secretly winning in the snow, but concerns about their one-dimensionality continue to grow. To close, Fitz and Schwab preview the NFC Championship with a surprising look at the Washington Commanders’ chances against the Philadelphia Eagles despite Washington’s defensive struggles.
