Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Kansas City Chiefs got bad news on Tuesday when Rashee Rice was put in jail for 30 days due to a probation violation. This is yet another incident with Rice that the Chiefs have to be concerned about. The Seattle Seahawks won a Super Bowl and predictably lost a lot of talent. Specifically losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker will hurt, but they will need new players like Jadarian Price to step up and take on bigger roles going forward to fill that void if the Hawks want to find a way to repeat. The Chicago Bears are looking to maintain their place at the top of the NFC North, but they will also need some new players to step up to do so and that will put a big focus on the secondary, where rookie Dillon Thieneman will have to make plays early. Finally, the Indianapolis Colts have lost a lot of talent as well and they will need some new faces to take advantage of new opportunities for them to get back to their early season pace from 2025.

The Detroit Lions missed the playoffs last year, but the bigger issue is they lost their identity. The run game took a step back and with it the physicality that propelled this modern Lions run. They must get that back in time to take on a daunting finish to their schedule. The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to get back on top as well and to do so they will need to protect Patrick Mahomes. As they need to allow Mahomes to find his rhythm for a less-than-joyous late-season slate. Finally, the Washington Commanders are looking to get back to their recent heights too, but will need stellar run defense and an improved offense to manage their schedule.

Pittsburgh Steelers reunite Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy in a bold move—will this veteran pairing spark a playoff run or fizzle out?

Analysis spotlights schedule difficulty, ownership drama, and evolving coaching staffs, plus reactions from local Locked On experts. Which franchise has the edge to dominate in 2026, and who will be left searching for answers as the NFL landscape shifts?

Aaron Rodgers finally made his official return to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year contract and it certainly does make the Steelers a better team, but this doesn't really change the fact a championship is not in their future. Even with Rodgers, the Steelers have a brutal stretch of games after their bye week that could cause problems. The New York Giants are hoping for a breakout season, but that would be tough to do without a healthy Malik Nabers and a recent update on Nabers' recovery has to be a bit concerning for the G Men. To make matters worse, the Giants need a quick start to have the season they hope for. Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers got the top offensive coordinator on the market with Mike McDaniel and now he's helping get the NFL's accelerator program back off the ground just like he will try to do with LA. However, a very difficult stretch early in the season will likely define the year for the Chargers and McDaniel.

Tony Wiggins and Matt Williamson debate whether off-field distractions and head coaching turbulence will impact New England’s playoff ambitions, while Nick Cattles highlights the Patriots’ uphill battle on the road.
