Welcome to NFL Total Access podcast, today we are joined by MJ Acosta Ruiz & Steve Wyche. First things first we dive into why the appointment of Jeff Saturday by the Colts sets a terrible precedent for interim hires going forward. 

Next up its time for Midseason awards

• MVP … is it Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts?
• Coach of the year … is it Nick Sirianni, Brian DaBoll, or Pete Carroll
• Defensive Player of the year … can it be anyone BUT Micah Parsons?
• Comeback Story of the year … Saquon or Geno?
• Best Play of the Year … PJ Walker to DJ Moore, George Pickens's one-handed catch, or Justin Fields Rushing TD?

And later in the show, we look at the playoff teams that are in the picture now … but will be out of the playoff picture later! As well as those teams on the outside of the playoff picture most likely to play their way in.
