The New York Giants are reportedly hiring Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh to be their next head coach. Colin Cowherd explains why this was clearly the correct choice and why he was the best fit to turn around the franchise who has the second worst record since 2016

Tom Brady joins the show ahead of the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. He breaks everything down:

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold facing off against the 49ers defense
How will Matthew Stafford and the Rams handle the Bears in freezing cold temperatures?
What to expect from his Patriots and Drake Maye as they look to get their first playoff win in 6 years
