John Lund reacts to the Denver Broncos' thrilling 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, a win that sends Denver to its first AFC Championship Game in a decade. However, the celebration was short-lived as news broke that breakout star Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken ankle. The Stidham Era Begins: With Nix out, John discusses whether Jarrett Stidham has what it takes to lead Sean Payton's offense to the Super Bowl. Is the dream still alive in Denver, or is their luck about to run out? Josh Allen & The Bills Collapse: Why Josh Allen deserves every bit of criticism for yet another postseason failure. John breaks down the 5 turnovers that derailed Buffalo’s season and asks if this core can ever win the big one. NFL Coaching Carousel: John sounds off on the "retread" culture in the NFL. He explains why struggling franchises like the Las Vegas Raiders, Cleveland Browns, and Arizona Cardinals need to stop recycling the same failed names and start thinking outside the box for their next head coaching hires. NFC West Shakeup: The Seattle Seahawks just sent a message with a 41-6 shellacking of the San Francisco 49ers. John analyzes the blowout and asks the question 49ers fans fear: Has the championship window officially closed for Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy?
