Rob Parker: "I'm not going to let one outlier be the reason why I sign Sam Darnold to a mega-contract. This game is the reason why you're always afraid. This is why Brock Purdy doesn't have a contract yet. You're afraid that you're going to sign Sam Darnold and he will turn back into the guy who failed with the Jets and other places. This was the big game. If you melt down in the big game, people are going to look at you differently. No one will fully buy into Brock Purdy until he wins. It's not fair, but it's how it is."

Meanwhile, Kelvin breaks down why the Lions proved on Sunday night that they are the best team in the NFL heading into the playoffs.
