Week 15 instant reactions: Steelers exposed, Lions D struggles, Bills are AFC's scariest team


Listen Later

In this week's episode of Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant reactions and takeaways from Week 15 of NFL action. The guys kick things off discussing the polarization in the league this year, with a massive gap between the top-tier teams and those struggling at the bottom. The conversation shifts to what turned out to be the game of the week: Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions. Fitz and Frank are in awe of Josh Allen’s incredible rise to MVP-caliber play. Frank lists the few quarterbacks in NFL history who have played at Allen’s current level, comparing him to the likes of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. But as impressive as the Bills are, the Lions defense is starting to show cracks. Can Dan Campbell’s squad continue to ride high with a shaky defense, or will this expose them in the postseason? Fitz is convinced that the Bills are now the team to beat in the AFC, even if that means taking down the mighty Kansas City Chiefs.

Fitz & Frank also highlight the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive struggles against the dominant Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers rolling on primetime against the Seattle Seahawks.

Later, the duo cover every other matchup from Sunday's slate of games. Fitz is particularly concerned with Tua Tagovailoa’s erratic play, while Frank gives props to Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams showing their connection is still very much alive. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stun the Los Angeles Chargers, with Baker Mayfield leading the charge, and Mike McCarthy is quietly earning his job back in Dallas. The duo wrap up with predictions for the Monday Night Football double header.
