Evaluation for week 13: 2
The man in question is the majority: Head Coach Andy Reed
Although Reed won the Super Bowl last season, his inclusion in the Hall of Fame is not yet guaranteed. Winning the championships back to back seems to be enough to put Reed at the top. Of the six coaches who did it, four are in the lobby and one who isn’t, Bill Belichik, is a lock when his career is over. – Adam Thacher
Reviews for week 13: 1
The man in question is the majority: The attack coordinator, Randy Fichtner.
There’s some kind of power struggle between Fichtner and quarterback Ben Rothlisberger. If the game goes well and the offensive goes smoothly, Fichtner reduces Roethlisberger’s ability to effectively manage an uncontrollable offensive and paints the movements in the mud. However, when the red zone lost to Baltimore, Fichtner said Rothlisberger had a cloudless attack and called the games. Fichtner and Rothlisberger have been working together for a long time and to reach the Steelers they have to be on the same side. — Brooke Pryor

Stephanie Bell wonders why there’s a chance Drew Bree will be back next week, but she thinks it’s too soon.
Week 13 stand: 3
The man in question is the Buy More Hill Tase.
Hill probably won’t get four weeks. It’s not even clear if he can start over, depending on when Drew Brice can come back from a broken rib and a punctured lung. But every audition is attributed to Hill if he tries to prove he can take over for Bree. Hill exceeded some expectations as a pocket player in his opening QB 3-0, but also showed some inconsistency and inexperience in the role. — Mike Triplet

The man in question is the majority: Defense coordinator Mike Pettin
Are you assembling the Packers’ defence in uniform or is it just a party of two quarterbacks/combat attacks in the role of Mitchell Trubisky of the Bears and Carson Wentz of the Eagles? How the Packers stay on the defensive depends on how far they go to the playoffs, and even on what Coach Matt LaFleur is holding with Pettin’s sticks or what they can change. — Rob Demovsky
Week 13 stand: 5
The man in question is the majority: TE Dawson Knox
In 2020, Bill’s is not up to the challenge for the second year in a row. This was partly due to injuries and KOVID-19, but he made little use of the inspiring season for the debutants. With the release of John Brown, at least for the next two weeks, the Buffalo attack will have more goals – and Knox will have the opportunity to show the front office that he doesn’t have to look for other options in the position in the upcoming off-season. — Marcel Louis-Jacques.

Brady Henderson broke Chris Carson’s long leg injury and how it will affect his fantastic value in the future.
Week 13 stand: 6
The man in question is the majority: RB Chris Carson
Carson plays for a new contract when he finishes the last year of his newcomer contract. His search for a good salary went well until he dislocated his leg in week seven and forced him to play four games. According to coach Pete Carroll, he’s back in the last two games, but not 100% yet. Carson can do it all: surprise defenders, make them miss and catch the ball on the field. But he missed 19 of the 60 possible regular season games. A good finish doesn’t eliminate power problems, but it will remind potential fans that he’s an elite runner if he’s in good health. — Brady Henderson
Assessment for week 13: 10
The man in question is the majority: Lieutenant Joe Notebook.
In 2018 Rams decided to go to Noteboom with a third selection round, hoping to learn from Lineerman veteran Andrew Whitworth and eventually take over the left tackle. But Whitworth played out the duration of his three-year contract, which he signed in 2017, and then signed a new three-year off-season contract, making the future of the book – at least the left wing – uncertain. With Whitworth in reserve for knee injuries, Laptop has a chance to prove that he can play in the NFL as a left-handed player, either on the Rams or elsewhere, in the last four games since his contract expires after the 2021 season. — …Lindsay Tiri.

Stephen A. Smith still doesn’t expect Baker Mayfield to play as consistently as when Brown defeated the Titans.
Assessment for week 13: 12
The man in question is the majority: Baker Mayfield Buy more
Mayfield has a chance to do something no Cleveland quarterback has ever done in 18 years: get the Browns in the playoffs. After a difficult start of the campaign, Mayfield has been spectacular in recent weeks. As a result, Cleveland can disrupt the longest drought in the NFL playoffs. In addition, Mayfield will be able to strengthen its position as Cleveland’s quarterback in the coming weeks, which will certainly encourage the Browns to opt for a five-year option – and perhaps push them to consider a lucrative off-season extension. — Jake Trotter
Reviews for week 13: 8
The man in question is the majority: Byron Leftwich, attack coordinator.
The entire management of the Buccaneers has its place here, but this applies especially to Leftwich. With six times Super Bowl defender Tom Brady and one of the most talented groups on paper, this formation is under pressure 7-5. Not only will he make the playoffs (which isn’t obvious yet, and in fact Bucs will probably have to win three of the last four games), but he’ll also make him a legitimate opponent in the Super Bowl. — Jenna Lane
Reviews for week 13: 7
The man in question is the majority: WR Corey Davis
Davis is in his final year of contract. Without catching the five-year-old, Davis left his head hanging and did a lot of work in the off-season. His chemistry with quarterback Ryan Tannehill has improved dramatically and now Davis is gaining momentum in his first reception season in 1,000 years. It’s the perfect time, because he’s playing for a new deal. A good result in the next four games could mean a good deal with a free agent for the fourth year. — Thurron Davenport

Field Yates and Stephanie Bell agree that Corey Davis shares have increased in recent weeks and that Davis is a realistic option on WR for the rest of the season.
Reviews for week 13: 9
The man in question is the majority: WR T.Y. Hilton
It is likely that Hilton will leave the game through a free agency in the coming off-season due to the slow start of the ninth season in the NFL. But 31-year-old Hilton has shown positive signs over the past two weeks. He added 110 yards to the 81-yard game against Tennessee in week 12 – his first 100-yard game since December 2018 – and scored a touchdown against Houston on Sunday. The last four races are not only important for the Colts, who could qualify for the play-offs, but also for the future of Hilton in Indianapolis. — Mike Wells

The man in question is the majority: OLB Yannick Ngakue
Ngakoue must start making barrels again to guarantee either a long-term extension or another franchise day. Since Ngakoue was bought by the Vikings in exchange for five shells and a five-piece bag, it has disappeared. He has not proven himself as a player, with an average of 34 pictures per game. Ngakou is expected to be one of the top free agents in the NFL in the off-season, but Baltimore will face a difficult decision if she stays out of the league. — Jamison Hensley.
Evaluation for week 13: 14
The man in question is the majority: Detective Emmanuel Ogbach.
Ogbach was one of the most valuable signatures for a free agency in 2020 and became the best year of his career after signing a two-year contract for 15 million dollars. He is one of the top ten defenders in the race for the bag, QB shots and QB pressure and has quickly established himself as one of the best players of the Dolphins. Ogbach said he would like to have a long term home in Miami, and without the guaranteed money remaining for his contract after 2020, he is an ideal candidate for a contract extension as long as he stays healthy and the season ends strongly. — Cameron Wolf

The man in question is the majority: Head Coach Cliff Kingsbury
If Kingsbury’s work isn’t under threat at the moment, a bad end will not do the owner who hired him and is now winning – which was to be expected when he combined Kyler Murray with him and then brought DeAndre Hopkins into the off-season. The tool is there, and sometimes it works. The cardinals started 5-2, but in the last five games – 1-4. If Kingsbury wins one or two victories in nine final competitions, he will be in the hot seat for the 2021 season, even if he wins more victories than in 2019. — Josh Weinfuss.
Week 13 stand: 15
The man in question is the majority: Defense coordinator Paul Gunther
If the best skill is accessibility and safety, Jonathan Abram misses the training and now the game, the Damon Arnett corner continues knocking early and neither Corey Littleton nor Malick Collins have had any changers so far, that’s what you get. However, it is Gunter who has to win something positive for the defense, who is 22nd overall, 23rd on the pass, 19th on the run, 28th on the allowed points, 19th on the bribes and 30th on the sacks. Especially with a chance to make the playoffs in Las Vegas. Fasten your seatbelt. — Paul Gutierrez.

Field Yates admires the performance of Cam Newton during week 13 of the disconnection of the 45-0 charger.
Evaluation for week 13: 17
The man in question is the majority: Buy more at Cam Newton
With a modest one-year contract in a campaign that he believes means more respect than money, Newton has the chance to shape his future in football with a solid finish. The Patriots passing game is one of the least productive in the NFL, but Newton (11 TD running) is still a threat to his feet, and the team’s future plans for the Buy More (and whether Newton is part of it) have become a topic of discussion. — Mike Travel

The man we’re talking about is Kirk’s cousin.
This answer may seem odd, given that the contract with the cousins makes them candidates for membership in 2021. In November the cousins scored the highest pass score (123.4) and held victory games in week 12 and 13 to keep the Vikings in the play-offs in the hunt. 1 to 5 minutes after the cousins made 10 interceptions, the Vikings decided to attack via Dalvin Cook. This strategy led them to the 500th place, but Cook suffered more than a month ago. In the next four weeks Cousins will have the chance to prove that he can win important matches with the best talent in the NFC (Buccaneers, Saints) without relying too much on his long-distance run. — Courtney Cronin
Review for week 13: 16
The man in question is the majority: Buy more by Jimmy Garoppolo
49 players remain in the running for the NFC playoffs and although Garoppolo is still trying to avoid a sprain of the ankle, the ability to come back and bring the Niners back in the post-season would be great. Coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected Garoppolo to be his starter in 2021, but no decision has yet been made about the future of the team. Haroppolo’s injury history and his prize may prompt the Niners to look for other options to replace him or join him in San Francisco. A good conclusion would help the Garoppolo case to remain a starter after this season. — Nick Wagoner
Evaluation for week 13: 20
The man in question is the majority: Buy more of Teddy Bridgewater.
If he really is the quarterback of the franchise, as OK Joe Brady called him, Bridgewater has to prove he can win big games. Otherwise, Carolina will probably be able to get a Buy More franchise in the top 10, at least in the first round, to continue her youth movement. The team cannot leave Bridgewater in 2021 because of the way the contract is designed; dead money would be enough for $27 million. But if you spend the top ten on a Buy More, the writing will hang on the wall in 2022. — David Newton
Evaluation for week 13: 26
The man in question is the majority: Pepper and gills
In recent weeks, Peppers has played the best football of his career. If he continues to play the last four games at this level, it should translate into a high salary. The Giants will have money to spend, and spending the money on a growing 25-year-old child is very sensible. Paprika is currently in the final year of the newcomers agreement and a fifth option is in sight. — Jordan Ranan.

The man in question is the majority: Head Coach Matt Nagy.
Nadia – who was named NFL Coach of the Year just two seasons ago – fights for her position with four more games to go. The Bears, who lost six in a row, left the NFC playing field after 5-1 years. Chicago’s attack was better reflected in their heartbreaking defeat for the Lions last Sunday, but overall it was another big disappointment. Nagy’s inability to turn Mitchell Trubisky into a franchise quarterback – combined with the bad play of veteran Nick Falls (Nagy prefers the QB) – puts the 42-year-old coach in the hot seat of General Manager Ryan Pace. — Jeff Dickerson.
Reviews for week 13: 21
The man in question is the majority: Rahim Morris, Temporary Head Coach
A good end to the regular season could have helped Morris get a permanent head coach position in Atlanta. After Sunday’s match against the Chargers, the schedule gets tight: two matches against the Pounds and one against the Chiefs. Ending the regular season with a 4-0 victory will be a clear signal that he is the right man. – Adam Thacher
Reviews for week 13: 22
The man in question is the majority: Drew’s Buy More Castle.
And it’s not close. Lock has four games to support his cause in terms of what the team will do in 2021. If he speeds up his game by improving some fundamental and immediate decision making, the Broncos can get about two wins, you have to push them out of the top ten and reduce outside pressure to choose a quarterback. But Locke has to end the season as in 2019 and reduce his sales. He has the strength of his hand, the agility and the ability to free himself from his faults. However, the tendency to make risky decisions that lead to revolutions is a warning sign. — Jeff Legold.

Sarah Barshop destroys how Duke Johnson’s fantastic value is affected by the return of David Johnson after his injury.
Evaluation for week 13: 25
The man in question is the majority: RB David Johnson
With a $9 million strike next season, it makes sense that someone who is going to take over the soccer activities in Houston would walk away from Johnson. In nine games this season, Johnson rushed for 452 yards and four touchdowns for 113 touchdowns. He missed three games because of a concussion. But even if Johnson doesn’t return to Houston, he will definitely play for his next contract. Duke Johnson’s fuse could also be on that list. With a ceiling of $5.1 million in 2021 and a one-year contract, the new front-office/management staff can also separate from Duke Johnson and start again next season. — Sarah Barshop

The man in question is the majority: Temporary head coach Darrell Beavall.
The real answer is everything here: When a mode change occurs, coaches perform new tasks or keep them, and players do the same. But Bewell may have the best chance of winning or losing here. Bewell has been waiting years for his chance to become head coach, and if he can get a long-term deal with Detroit, it could help his bid with the Lions (unlikely at the moment) or elsewhere, this season or in the future. — Michael Rothstein
Evaluation for week 13: 28
The man in question is the majority: KB Alex Smith
Smith had already proved himself when he returned to the field after his terrible leg injury. But is it just a good story for 2020? His figures (four touchdowns, five interceptions) are quite modest. But he’s doing well and the team 3-1 is with him as a starter. But can he take charge of victories against good teams? (Monday was a good start.) Could it be productive for long? Is he able to go into the future and take care of another young quarterback? If Smith wants to continue, his future role will depend in part on how he plays the segment. — John Kame

The man in question is the majority: Head Coach Doug Pederson
It’s hard to believe that after the city won its first Super Bowl in 2017 and entered the play-offs three years in a row, Pederson’s work may be in jeopardy, but it shows how cruel everything has turned out for Philadelphia this year. Carson Wenz, the quarterback of the franchise team and Pederson #1’s responsibility is broken. The attack became stale and failed. And now, a massive quarterback conflict. Pederson needs to collect a few victories and let Wentz or Jalen Hurts play high level in the home stretch to freshen up his chair. — Tim McManus.
Review for week 13: 24
The man in question is head coach Anthony Lynn.
The past few weeks Lynn has ended up at a hotspot with questions about the clock and the management of the game. Sunday’s loss to New England, with a 45-0 result interrupted by penalties and special team errors, didn’t help. He is a very good man, and the players love him (at least outwardly), but his possessions must be filled with all the losses… in one score or another. — Shelly Smith

The man in question is the majority: Andy Dalton’s Buy More
Dalton came to the Cowboys to revitalize his career and possibly become a starter in 2021. The Cowboys never thought he’d play that much, but Duck Prescott lost a year because of a fifth week injury. In the last month of the season, Dalton has the chance to show that if he plays well, he can start the next phase of his career. Is there a problem? There are not many vacancies, and perhaps the best places are where he will only be a beginner in the bridge until the team hands over the keys to the big tour. — Todd Archer
Leaderboard for week 13: 30
The man in question is the majority: Head Coach Zack Taylor
At this point Taylor has to win to gain some confidence and show that everything is going in the right direction. The Bengal have had four victories since the arrival of coach Taylor in 2019 and need a victory to avoid a second straight victory in a two-season season. Whether it’s about keeping his job or building momentum until 2021, Taylor could take advantage of a few victories to complete his second year. — …Ben baby.
Week 13 stand: 31
The man in question is the majority: LT Cam Robinson
The answer is simple: head coach Doug Marron, but he probably won’t come back with the arrival of the new grandmaster. However, Robinson had a one-year contract, and although he was a good blockbuster, he fought to protect the gang. His passing block won 80.9% and finished 59th among the leaders. The new regime will have to decide whether to pay for it – 20 offensive shells in 2020 will account for 10 million dollars or more – or whether to go for a walk. Robinson needs a strong game in the next four games (Tennessee, Baltimore, Chicago and Indianapolis). — Mike DiRocco
Week 13 stand: 32
The man in question is the majority: Buy more products from Sam Darnold
No, it’s not head coach Adam Geys because his suspension is considered prejudicial. But Darnold’s future is uncertain. He has four races to convince the front line to be the starter by 2021, but that decision will probably be determined by the draft position. If the jets get first choice, they’ll almost certainly take Trevor Lawrence, no matter how Darnold plays. However, Darnold can play for another team in 2021. — Rich Chimini
