This week's edition of the PFR mailbag looks into the Steelers' situation post-Mike Tomlin, the possibility of A.J. Brown's Eagles tenure ending shortly, the Giants' offseason outlook and more.
Nick asks:
Who do you think makes sense as a Mike Tomlin replacement? Also, what do you think would be a fair trade ask if he returns to coaching in 2027 or 2028?
The pattern repeated throughout Pittsburgh’s three most recent hires (Tomlin, along with Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll before him) is a good place to start when thinking about the team’s traditional HC blueprint.
I’m not sure. On the road the Bills beat a Jaguars team which is no worse than the Broncos. Buffalo players are as used to playing in the cold as those in Denver.
New England have looked dominant on both sides of the ball. The Houston defense is very good, but so is Drake Maye under pressure.
I agree with you that the key piece in the 49ers-Seahawks matchup is Sam Darnold. Does Darnold wet the bed again or does he play as well as he does in normal mid-season games? The 49ers just beat the defending champions at home. I wouldn’t bet against Shanahan.
