January 13, 2026 Unlocked | Could a First-Time Coach and QB Win the Super Bowl? | NFL Playoffs Breakdown
🔥 Unlocked is back with a full breakdown of an action-packed NFL Playoffs weekend! 🔥

Lance Taylor and former NFL quarterback Brock Huard react to a wild slate of NFL playoff games that shook up the postseason picture and may have changed the Super Bowl conversation entirely. From road upsets to young quarterbacks delivering signature moments, this episode dives deep into what we just witnessed — and what it means moving forward.

The guys start with the Los Angeles Rams taking down the Panthers on the road, showcasing veteran poise and playoff toughness. Plus, the San Francisco 49ers knock off the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles in Philadelphia, raising major questions about the NFC hierarchy.

In the AFC, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills continue their playoff march with a convincing win over the Jaguars in Jacksonville, while rookie quarterback Drake Maye delivers a statement performance as the Patriots dispatch the Chargers. And in one of the most talked-about games of the weekend, Caleb Williams leads the Bears past the Packers, adding another chapter to one of the NFL’s most storied rivalries.

Lance and Brock also tackle the big-picture question: Could this be the year we see a first-time head coach and quarterback win the Super Bowl? With so many young QBs and new coaching staffs advancing, the traditional playoff blueprint may be changing in real time.

If you’re an NFL fan, love playoff football, or want expert analysis on quarterbacks, coaching, and championship contenders, this episode of Unlocked is a must-watch.

Lance Taylor and former Washington & NFL quarterback Brock Huard dive deep into a historic moment for Indiana football as the Hoosiers continue their remarkable run and stand one win away from a national championship. If Indiana can finish the job against Miami in the national title game, where would this team rank among the greatest in college football history? The guys break down what’s made this Hoosiers team special, why their run matters nationally, and what it says about the evolving landscape of the College Football Playoff.

The conversation then shifts to one of the most fascinating storylines in the sport: the future of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. With rumors swirling about massive NIL and transfer portal offers designed to keep Simpson in college for another season, Lance and Brock discuss what this means for Alabama, the NFL Draft, and the new reality of player movement and big-money decisions in college football. Is staying another year the right move, and how is this changing roster-building across the sport?

From college football history and CFP implications to NFL evaluations, quarterback development, and the intersection of NIL and the transfer portal, this episode delivers thoughtful analysis you won’t find anywhere else.

January 13, 2026 SEC Superiority DEAD? Is Indiana One of CFB's Best Teams Ever? | Joel Klatt Talks College Football
Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging, must-watch conversation on college football and the evolving College Football Playoff. We begin with Indiana’s dismantling of Oregon and the Hoosiers’ march to the national championship game.

Joel also delivers a bold hot take, arguing that the long-running narrative of SEC superiority is dead. We discuss Ty Simpson receiving massive offers to return to college football via the transfer portal and whether Trinidad Chambliss' case for another year of eligibility at Ole Miss.

Finally, we zoom out and tackle one of the biggest debates in the sport: What is the right number of teams for the College Football Playoff?
