Summary

In this week's episode, Tom E. Curran dissects the NFL MVP debate between Patrick Mahomes and Drew Brees from three different angles. First up, Tom checks-in with Nick Underhill, Saints reporter from the New Orleans Advocate. Second, we welcome Kansas City Star columnist Sam Mellinger to make the case for the Chiefs phenom. Finally, Tom talks with Pro Football Focus Senior Analyst Steve Palazzolo to discuss the analytical breakdown of the two-man race. Curran wraps-up the pod by looking at the Patriots season finale against the New York Jets, and what the Patriots will look to accomplish this Sunday. Also, with a number of head coaching positions about to open up, where does Josh McDaniels fit, and has this season of playcalling been amongst his best.
