Summary

Rich reacts to the College Football Playoff’s decision to limit the field to 12 teams for the time being instead of expanding to 16, and puts his stamp of approval on the Baltimore Ravens naming Los Angeles Charges Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter as their new head coach. In ‘What’s More Likely’ Rich previews the New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos AFC Championship Game, the Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks NFC Championship Game. Patriots CB Marcus Jones and Rich discuss his rise from special teams contributor to team captain, the impact Head Coach Mike Vrabel has had on New England’s return to prominence, Drake Maye’s growth as a QB since his rookie season, and why they’re not overlooking the Denver Broncos despite the absence of their starting quarterback Bo Nix. Rich Eisen ranks which Rams, Seahawks, Patriots and Broncos players’ career narratives would be altered the most by a trip to Super Bowl LX this season. Learn more about your ad choices.
