Who is under the most pressure heading into the NFL playoffs? EASILY the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen is the best quarterback left in the playoffs, there's no Patrick Mahomes in his way, and Sean McDermott is likely coaching for his job. This is their window—and it might be closing fast.

The Atlanta Hawks traded Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for Malcolm Brogdon, Corey Kispert, and picks. I've said I'm out on Trae Young, and I still am. The timing is weird—Atlanta was actually turning things around at 9-10 after a brutal start. But I get why Washington took this shot. They gave up players I don't mind losing, and if you want to take a swing, this was the most realistic option. I just don't think it will work, and it can't get in the way of developing Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, and Kyshawn George.

For Atlanta? This is EXCELLENT. Brogdon and Kispert fit perfectly with the offense they were running with Young on the shelf. They add depth to an already sneaky good and deep team. The Hawks were 2-8 in the 10 games Trae Young played this season. Now they have a really solid 10-man unit, are apparently in on Anthony Davis, and still have great draft capital and tradeable players.

PLUS: Peter's MLB trade predictions—where will the biggest names land? Ketel Marte to the Phillies? Steven Kwan to the Astros? Joe Ryan to the Mets? Full predictions for Tarik Skubal, Byron Buxton, CJ Abrams, and more.

The Baltimore Ravens have fired John Harbaugh, and I think it's a MISTAKE. They were one reasonable field goal away from making the playoffs despite dealing with a massive injury list all season. Is this a power struggle with Lamar Jackson? The Miami Dolphins also fired Mike McDaniel; the Tua injury situation cost him his job. Miami brought him in to create an explosive offense, and while it worked initially, it got worse and worse as the season went on.

Peter Klein breaks down both coaching changes, then dives into the NFL off-season preview for every eliminated team. What do these franchises need to fix? What are their biggest priorities?

🏈 KEY OFF-SEASON TAKES:

Las Vegas Raiders shouldn't draft a QB at #1 overall

What does Arizona do with Kyler Murray?

Fixing marquee franchises: Baltimore, Kansas City, and Dallas

Draft needs, cap situations, and roster holes for eliminated teams

The coaching carousel is spinning, and the off-season is about to get wild. Who gets hired? Who makes the right moves? Let's break it all down.

The Calgary Flames lost to the Seattle Kraken, and it's time to talk about the bigger picture: this team needs to TANK. Former Sportsnet 960 host Peter Klein breaks down where the Flames are in their rebuild, why they should embrace the tank for a top draft pick, and then dives into the game-by-game breakdown of their loss to Seattle.

World Junior Hockey Championship reactions: Zayne Parekh is a Rorschach test for scouts. If you like him, this tournament reinforced everything you love. If you don't, it confirms your concerns. Plus, the robot apology comments and why this kid needs time to develop at the NHL level. Are people overreacting to Gavin McKenna's tournament? He challenged himself in the NCAA, and now he's slipping in draft rankings, but would dominating the WHL again actually be better for his development?

NFL Black Monday delivered chaos: Kevin Stefanski FIRED in Cleveland (Deion Sanders rumors start NOW?), Pete Carroll out in Las Vegas, Jonathan Gannon gone in Arizona, Raheem Morris fired in Atlanta after the Penix/Cousins disaster, but somehow Joe Schoen KEEPS his job with the Giants?! And Zac Taylor stays in Cincinnati despite Joe Burrow looking visibly upset.

Trae Young demands a trade from Atlanta, and I'm completely OUT on this guy. Who has he ever made better? He's lived off ONE good playoff series his entire career. The Hawks are in a great spot without him, wherever he lands (Raptors? Heat? Bucks? Magic?), I worry about what teams will give up for him.

Quick hitters episode covering NFL Week 16, College Football Playoff debate, and fantasy football championship week!

🏈 5 NFL WEEK 16 TAKEAWAYS:

1. Ravens Fall Apart:

• Why abandon Derrick Henry on last drive?
• Defense couldn't get stop when needed AGAIN
• Too far back after early-season struggles
• Fire Harbaugh talk is WRONG - earned right to work through this

2. Steelers Really Good Win:

• Don't like giving Pittsburgh credit BUT
• First win I can give full marks for
• Even with all the weirdness at end
• Tough Lions loss - offense struggled, defense needed to be better

3. Jaguars Statement:

• Trevor Lawrence stepped up
• Defense came through big
• Complete team effort

4. Chargers Reminder:

• What this offense should be capable of with that QB

5. Panthers Legit:

• Defense came to play
• Tough Bucs loss - Baker had moments but not enough
• Miscommunication at end costly

🏆 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF:

• Does Alabama win prove they deserved in?
• Or does full schedule outweigh one 60-minute performance?
• My fix: Put potential blowouts at same time as other games
• Not on an island - still worth having smaller schools

🏈 FANTASY CHAMPIONSHIP WAIVER WIRE:

• Tyler Shough (13%), Parker Washington (23%), Dylan Sampson (11%)
• Chris Rodriguez (29%) - MUST ADD with volume + matchup
• Cade Otton (29%), Giants DST (11%)

🗑️ FANTASY DUMPSTER DARLINGS: Kirk Cousins, Kalif Raymond, Dylan Sampson, Taysom Hill, Charlie Smyth (20 points!), Giants DST Total: 130 points

🏒 MAPLE LEAFS:

• Blaming Craig Berube is unwarranted
• Roster construction issue
• Didn't replace Mitch Marner in offseason

⚾ MLB FREE AGENCY REACTIONS:

Phillies Sign Schwarber & García:

• Playing 1B where he's played 1 inning EVER
• Need to see changes soon
