Are we generic bros?

Sometimes.

Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL podcast.

My name is Dan Hansis.

I come to you from a virtual room filled with some heroes.

Mark Sussler, Greg Rosenthal. What is up, boys? We made it. You know, week 15, you got the Saturday games. It means we're really here. We're really here. What does that mean? Where are we?

Super Bowl end. So there you go. Oh, there we go. So everyone is all set. Yes, this is week 15.

This is our preview podcast where we go through every single game to come Thursday in the books.
