0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand two hundred ten of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025. It is the day on which the 3-9
0:26.0	Washington commanders are beginning practicing for their game at the 4-and-8 Minnesota Vikings this
0:30.9	Sunday afternoon at 1 in week 14, the NFL's 2025 regular season. The commanders, of course,
0:36.5	have lost seven consecutive games. So the latest
0:39.0	being the 2726 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos at Northwest Stadium on Sunday night
0:44.4	football this past Sunday night. Incredibly, though, our commanders have not been eliminated
0:51.0	from playoff contention. They have been eliminated from wild card contention, but they have not been eliminated from playoff contention. They have been eliminated from wildcard contention,
0:55.9	but they have not been eliminated from NFC East contention, though. That could change in this
1:01.3	week 14. The commanders will be eliminated from NFC East contention if either of the following

1:18.5	chargers on Monday night football this Monday night at 815. Amazing that the commanders at three and nine
1:25.7	still technically could win the NFC East.
1:29.8	As Jim Carey said in the movie Dumb and Dumber, so you're telling me there's a chance.
1:36.5	So you're telling me there's a chance.
1:42.2	Yeah!
1:44.5	Yes, there is a chance that the commanders win the NFC East.
1:48.9	Hello and welcome to this Wednesday installment of the Al-Galdi podcast.
1:52.8	Commander's offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury is not getting enough credit for the job that he's doing this season.
1:59.7	I'll explain that next segment. And then the
2:02.2	following segment, a conversation with Vikings insider, Matthew Coller, of Purple Insider on
2:08.1	Substack, the host of a very successful Vikings podcast, Purple Insider with Matthew Caller.
