The three of us touched on our 10 biggest takeaways from Week 12. Here are a few of the biggest questions that we tried to answer:Will the make the playoffs?For the first half of the season, I thought the Steelers were a house of cards and it would only be a matter of time before their season started to completely fall apart. However, I'm starting to think they're going to stick around. The Steelers have the second-easiest remaining schedule in the AFC and I think they'll be able to squeeze out enough wins to make it to the postseason.Will the NFC South winner finish under .500? The are currently in first place in the NFC South with a record of 5-6. Every team in the division seems to be in total disarray. The Falcons have had QB problems all season, hasn't been cutting it for the , Tampa Bay's offense is bad and the Panthers just fired their coach. Based on that, if I had to bet money right now, I'd say the division winner finishes with a losing record.Are the for real?If you win five games in a row in the , I think that automatically makes you for real and that's exactly what the Broncos have done (They're tied with the for the longest-winning streak in the league). is starting to look like the Ru sell Wilson that the Broncos thought they were getting last year and the defense has been forcing turnovers at a torrid pace. The Broncos are 6-5 right now and I think they'll end the season 9-8, and if that happens, they'll certainly have a shot at making the playoffs. To check out the rest of our takeaways from Week 12, be so you can listen to the entire episode of the podcast. You , which you'll want to do if you want to see my sad Bruno costume.After just 10 months on the job, Frank Reich is already done in Carolina. Panthers owner David Tepper announced on Monday that Reich has been fired following a 1-10 start. Matthew Dellavedova Jersey Considering Tepper when leaving the locker room following Carolina's lo s to the yesterday, it's not a surprise at all that this move is being made. Here's what you need to know about the situation.Panthers offense wasn't working. A big reason Reich was hired is because he's an offensive mind, but through 11 games, the Panthers offense looked broken. has the third-worst QB rating through 12 weeks, the Panthers rank 30th in pa sing yards per game and they averaged just 15.7 points per game with Reich, which ranked 29th in the NFL. The Panthers haven't topped 15 points in any game since Week 6. It's easy to see why Tepper got frustrated.Tepper loves to fire coaches. The Panthers job might not be a popular one and that's because Tepper has a quick trigger finger when it comes to firing people. Since purchasing the Panthers in 2018, Tepper has now fired three coaches in Ron Rivera, Matt Rhule and Reich.Reich makes unfortunate history. Reich also got fired by the in November 2022, which makes him the first coach in NFL history to be fired in back-to-back seasons. In Carolina, Reich was fired after just 11 games, which means he had a shorter coaching tenure than both Nathaniel Hackett (15 games) and Urban Meyer (13 games). This is the earliest a coach has been fired in his first season with a team since 1978 when the dumped Pete McCulley after just nine games. Of course, if Carolina has the 49ers' luck, then they'll be in good shape because San Francisco hired Bill Walsh after firing McCulley. Reich is just the sixth coach since 1970 to get fired before finishing his first year with a team.Reich's replacement. Carolina will now be coached by special teams coordinator Chris Tabor for the rest of the season. The 52-year-old knows a thing or two about watching a coach get fired and that's because he was a ' a sistant from 2011 thru 2017. Tabor also spent four seasons (2018-21) with the before joining the Panthers' coaching staff in 2022.You can Marques Bolden Jersey . If you're wondering who might replace Reich, we .Every week I team up with four of my colleagues here at CBSSports.com to hand out grades, and this week, the Bills and Eagles both walked away with a grade in the 'A' range.Here's a look at the grades from two notable games that were played Sunday:Eagles 37-34 over Bills (OT) ()Bills takeaway:-- Jeff Kerr.Grade: A-Eagles takeaway:-- Jeff Kerr.Grade: ABroncos 29-12 over Browns ()Browns takeaway:-- Tyler Sullivan.Grade: C-Broncos takeaway:-- Tyler Sullivan.Grade: AAs for all the other grades that we handed out on Sunday,.

My good buddy Jared Dubin put together our deep-dive preview for this game here at CBSSports.com, and here's how he sees the game playing out:Why the Bears can win:When it comes to throwing the ball, hasn't been putting up huge numbers this season. In seven starts, Fields has only thrown for more than 215 yards a total of two times. If the Bears are going to win, Fields is likely going to need to have a big game through the air against a Vikings defense that is susceptible to the pa s. The Vikings are 0-2 this season when their opponent throws for 265 yards or more.Why Larry Johnson Jersey the Vikings can win:Although the Vikings have struggled to stop the pa s this year, the same holds true for the Bears, which could set the stage for Josh Dobbs to have a big game. Dobbs will be facing a Bears defense that surrenders an average of 245.9 yards per game through the air, which ranks 25th in the NFL. The Bears have also given up the second-most touchdown pa ses (22). Basically, it won't be surprising if , and all have a big night. If the Vikings can avoid turning the ball over, they should win. The Vikings are 4-1 this season when they commit one turnover or le s in a game.You can get a .If you're thinking about betting on the game, here's the prop I like:ONE PROP I LIKE: OVER 6.5 points (+110). When Justin Fields is playing, Santos usually puts up big numbers, which is why I love this prop and I love it even more because it's at plus money. In the last three games that Fields has started, Santos has gone over 6.5 points each time, scoring 10, 7 and 16 points. Also, opposing kickers are scoring an average of 7.8 points against the Vikings this year, which is another reason why I like this prop.My prime-time prop record is 17-9 this year.Finally, if you're wondering who we're picking, here's who we have tonight:Jared's pick:Vikings 24-20 over BearsMy pick:Vikings 24-21 over BearsThe Vikings are favored by 3.5 so although Jared and I are picking a similar score, we're making very different bets. He has Minnesota covering while I have the Bears pulling off the cover as an underdog.Over , seven of our eight experts are taking the Vikings to win.
