Summary

The Ringer’s Robert Mays and Kevin Clark recap Week 17, including why Panthers fans should be worried (0:56), the odd reason the Bills were a shoo-in for a wild-card berth before Sunday’s games (8:36), and why the Raiders hiring Jon Gruden would not be a slam dunk (16:55). Then, the guys discuss why Patrick Mahomes II will likely be the Chiefs' starter next season, regardless of their playoff run with Alex Smith (32:38). Plus, Danny Kelly joins the show to explain how the Vikings are flawed (41:52) and why the Eagles won’t win a playoff game (46:15), and to debate who would win the Super Bowl if every team’s quarterback was Blake Bortles (48:25).
