McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings vs. Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. John kicks off by reacting to J.J. McCarthy's big game in a win vs. the Cowboys on SNF.

Week 15 shook the NFL to its core, and Richard Sherman breaks down everything you need to know. From Brock Purdy’s strong performance in the San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Tennessee Titans to ongoing defensive concerns, Sherm explains where the Niners really stand heading into the playoff push.

This episode also covers massive, season-changing injury news, including Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL and the Kansas City Chiefs officially missing the playoffs. Richard reacts to what this means for Mahomes, the Chiefs’ future, and a wide-open AFC. Plus, Micah Parsons suffers a torn ACL, dealing a devastating blow to the Green Bay Packers and their postseason hopes. From Drake May vs. Josh Allen, Bo Nix’s breakout for the Denver Broncos, and the Chicago Bears surging behind Caleb Williams, to dark-horse contenders emerging across the league, this Week 15 breakdown explains why this NFL season has become completely unpredictable.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 14 NFL action. They start with the Broncos winning a heavyweight fight with the Packers and agree it was the best game of Bo Nix’s career and that the Broncos stepped up big time in a “prove it” game (3:15). After key injuries to Christian Watson and Micah Parsons, they call it a “crippling game” for the Packers (9:45).  They move to the Seahawks win over the Colts in the return of 44 year old Philip Rivers. Colin argues that older, immobile quarterbacks that know the offense like Rivers and Cousins can be effective and wasn’t surprised at the close result (11:30). They recap the Chargers win over Kansas City that eliminated Mahomes from the postseason. They agree that Justin Herbert has been better than Mahomes all season and laud the coaching of Jim Harbaugh for finding ways to win (23:45). They also explain why the Chiefs are headed for a 1-2 year retool/rebuild in a division with two other elite teams (29:00). They also react to the update of Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL and discuss what that means for the future of the Chiefs franchise and why they need to be careful bringing Mahomes back too quickly (30:30).  They move to the Bills comeback win over the Pats & argue that the Bills have to win in shootouts due to a lackluster defense and highlight an incredible second half by Josh Allen… who they agree is the best player in the NFL (35:00).  They recap the Bears beatdown of the Browns and Colin explains why the Bears look and feel like a playoff team on both sides of the ball and argues Ben Johnson might be the best coaching hire since Sean McVay (43:00). They move to the Rams playoff clinching win over the Lions and highlight the weakness of both teams’ secondaries, but point to a nearly unstoppable Rams offense that should carry them to a division title (56:30). Staying in the NFC West, they recap the 49ers win over the Titans and they explain why the Niners are a team that nobody will want to see in the postseason (1:02:15).  Finally, they survey the standings and make their picks for teams that can win a playoff game versus teams that can win it all (1:06:30).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
