The conversation turns fast when the news drops: Bo Nix broke his ankle, had surgery, and is officially out for the season. The guys rewatch the play trying to figure out how it even happened, point out the subtle tells on the very next snap, and talk through how stunning the timing is with Denver heading into the biggest game of the year. Then it takes a hilarious detour into Sean Payton's postgame comments, when he tries to console Nix with a “second-year QB history” claim that instantly sets off Evan's internal fact-check alarm. From there, the segment spirals into the real-world problem: can Denver actually bring in anyone off the street, or is it Jarrett Stidham by default? They run through the names people always throw out, why most of them are unrealistic or unavailable, and what it would actually take for the Broncos to survive against the Patriots with their season flipped upside down overnight.

Today's show has the Giants officially landing John Harbaugh as the coaching carousel spins faster than ever. We get news that Sean McDermott was fired in Buffalo. We cover the NFL playoff drama, debate Sean Payton's strategy with a backup QB, the "thick kicker" sending the Rams to the NFC Championship, and a take on Bills-Broncos review that questions the league's priorities. We explore whether the Broncos should find an available QB, the Mets' acquisition of Bo Bichette, and Peter Schwartz's bedtime battles with a CPAP machine, plus a "Moment of the Day" that closely examines Boomer's national TV commercial.

We kick off the show with John Harbaugh officially signing as the Giants' new Head Coach, a move that brings Todd Monken in as OC and high hopes for Jaxson Dart. Kevin Stefanski heads to the Falcons, and Sean Payton must face the Pats with a backup QB, plus we dive into CJ Stroud's rough outing. Peter Schwartz has the Rams' OT win over Chicago, Drake Maye's big day, and Carson Beck regarding his graduation status.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Monday January 19th. The NFL divisional weekend delivered dramatic finishes, decisive turnovers, and major implications for the championship round, as discussed by Munaf Manji and Dave Essler while breaking down every game through a betting focused lens. Denver opened the weekend with a 33 to 30 overtime win over Buffalo, a game defined by mistakes and attrition. The Bills turned the ball over five times, including four giveaways credited to Josh Allen, continuing a postseason pattern that has now seen him lose every overtime playoff appearance. Denver capitalized with a plus four turnover margin, but the victory came at a steep cost when quarterback Bo Nix suffered a broken foot or ankle on the second to last play of overtime. Sean Payton confirmed Nix will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season, forcing Jared Stidham into the AFC Championship Game. Buffalo responded swiftly by firing head coach Sean McDermott, ending an era marked by consistent playoff appearances but repeated postseason disappointment. Saturday night was a rout in Seattle, where the Seahawks overwhelmed an injury ravaged San Francisco team 41 to 6. A kickoff return touchdown set the tone, and Seattle never looked back, forcing three turnovers while committing none. Kenneth Walker led the way with 116 rushing yards and three total touchdowns, while the Seahawks defense held the 49ers under four yards per play, one of the lowest outputs of Kyle Shanahan's tenure. Sunday began with New England eliminating Houston 28 to 16 in a game where turnovers again told the story. C.J. Stroud struggled under pressure, and the Patriots converted short fields into touchdowns while Houston settled repeatedly for field goals. Injuries compounded the Texans' issues, leaving Stroud without key targets as the Patriots advanced behind a disciplined defensive game plan. The weekend closed with the Rams edging Chicago 20 to 17 in overtime, another contest decided by mistake free football. Los Angeles avoided turnovers entirely, while Caleb Williams threw an interception after winning the overtime coin toss, echoing Buffalo's earlier collapse. Sean McVay's situational decisions and clean execution pushed the Rams into the NFC Championship, setting up a third divisional matchup with Seattle. From a betting perspective, Essler highlighted what he views as market overreactions, particularly in the Patriots opening as significant favorites in Denver despite the quarterback change, and Seattle being potentially overvalued after dismantling a depleted opponent. Across all four games, the theme remained consistent, teams that protected the football advanced, while those that did not were left planning for next season. Learn more about your ad choices.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to dive into the Broncos surprising win over the Bills in the divisional round. How were the Broncos able to overcome all the injuries they faced during the game? We hear from Sean Payton and the details behind Frank Crum's trick play that resulted in a touchdown. Phil explains how important Jeremy Crawshaw's punt was that knocked the Bills within their own 10-yard line to start a drive. Today's "Three Count" features Broncos QB coach Davis Webb continuing to be rumored for a head coaching job during this offseason, Sean McDermott getting fired after 9 seasons in Buffalo with no Super Bowl appearance, and Caleb Williams leading the Bears to a miraculous comeback to eventually lose in overtime to the Rams. What did the guys make of the Broncos run game or lack thereof? Will the Broncos inability to run the ball finally catch up with them in the AFC title game?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil explain why Bo Nix now has the reigns of the Broncos organization, even more than Sean Payton. We react to Sean Payton's comments on what went into Frank Crum's trick play that resulted in a touchdown. We hear Sean detail Bo Nix's injury and how he found out about the situation. Should Jaquan McMillian's interception be viewed as controversial and did that specific play change the outcome of the game? We breakdown Jarrett Stidham as he was announced the Broncos starting quarterback with Bo Nix's injury. The guys explain why Broncos Country should be optimistic about Stidham after how well he played during training camp and the preseason. We wrap up the show Zach and Phil handing out their "game balls" after a Broncos postseason win. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Jarrett Stidham after the news came out that he will start in place of an injured Bo Nix. We hear from Sean Payton on the logistics of Nix's ankle injury and the confidence he has in Stidham. The guys reference what they've seen from Stidham in the past three training camps and why they also think Stidham can manage the game and push the ball down field. Phil explains why his biggest takeaway from the game was the Broncos defense's ability to create turnovers. What were the biggest moments from the game? Should Jaquan McMillian's interception be viewed as controversial? Zach shares his experience at the game and the guys debate where this stacks up in home Broncos playoff games. 

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil discussed why Jarrett Stidham and J.K. Dobbins could beat the Patriots in the AFC Chaampionship. The fellas reacted to the amount of turnovers Drake Maye has had so far in the playoffs. The guys took a look around the NFL with the latest news surrounding the NFL head coaching searches. What does Sean Payton have to do to get Stidham ready to play this weekend?

In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Sean Payton talking about Bo Nix's ankle injury and how Nix told him he was hurt on the field. If Jarrett Stidham plays well, could he follow a Broncos assistant coach to another team in the offseason to be a starter? The guys reacted to Sean McDermott being fired from the Bills. Could Stidham become the next Peyton Watson?
