Summary
It was an upside down slate of games in the NFL, though the two headlining games more than made up for it all. Conor and Gary break down everything that went down on Sunday (including, sadly for our listeners, some baseball playoffs).
It starts in Kansas City, where the Bills didn’t really exorcise anything, but they did prove they can overcome some execution issues, on the road, against an elite opponent. Throw in a rapidly improving defense and you have a team that is just much, much better than the rest of the NFL.
The Eagles and Cowboys punched and counter-punched in Philly in a very good Sunday nighter that reminded us to never count out Cooper Rush and also the real meaning of Christmas.
How the absurdity of the Trubisky-led Steelers routing the Bucs came to be, the Falcons continue to melt our icy hearts, New York is only for winners, Bailey Zappe yes but mostly the Patriots defense is doing it’s thing again, and unconfirmed rumors that the Vikings are 5–1.

| 0:10.0 | All right, here's the deal with this show, Connor. We're going to do the thing where we like talk about some of these games and it's just like the reaction is just going to be like what? Like we're going to do that again and again because we everyone does it way too often the |
| 0:27.4 | NFL and we sort of lose track of the fact that you know this is not the difference |
| 0:32.2 | between like the best team and the 30 second best team is not like |
| 0:36.2 | it is not like Alabama and Vanderbilt in the SEC or something where they're going to play a |
| 0:40.7 | thousand times and Alabama will win everyone in those games |
| 0:43.2 | handily. There's not that much separation between these teams of professional football |
| 0:49.4 | men coached by professional football men and women. However, this week, it was a bit much. I feel, I feel |
| 0:59.2 | that there were too many upsets, too many shockers in one week. I don't know like it's weird right it can't be you know |
| 1:10.4 | what it is I'm cooking up an analogy here. |
| 1:12.5 | Do you ever watch Battlebots? |
| 1:16.5 | Yeah, yeah. Are you a big Battlebots guy? |
| 1:19.8 | No, but like the old comedy Central show? |
| 1:22.1 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 1:23.7 | Kind of like when it was on in the background type of thing. |
| 1:25.7 | I wasn't a fanatic. |
| 1:27.2 | It's still on, by the way. |
