This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on.

Hey, hey, oh, no.

Good morning football. That's right. This is good morning football. We are brought to you by Old Trapper beef jerky, favorite meat in a bag. If you're interested in that, we are live in L.A. In New York City, it's Friday the 13th in December. This is Akbar Baj Mabella. That's Peter Stregor, Kyle Brandt, Vantiteo. I'm Jamie Erdahl. Peter and Kyle, you guys referenced it, but on this show, we always kind of harp on perhaps a certain highlight that we show from games when it, like, all these points and all we show is the field goal. Guys, your emotions behind what we saw last hour, which was only field goals in a game, yet we never saw it in the highlight. Yeah, it's an incredible thing. This goes back years. Sometimes we'll only be a lot of two plays to show from a game, and they're both field goals. It's like if Tiger shoots 65 at Augustine, we just show his tap-in on 18. It's like, show me the approach he had on 12. Give the people real actual plays. So I have incredible news that after last night's tedious Rams 49ers game,

our good friends in the highlight production department at NFL media did God's work.

And in a 12 to 6 game, we have no field goals, folks.

Mantis fired up.

To the families of Josh Cardi and Jake Moody, this is not our doing. This is the highlight people. I was pushing for more field goals. Now we're blaming them again. I wanted more Josh Cardi. Stanford rookie going home to Northern California crushing his whole team. No, okay, yeah. No. All right. Can't do it. Peter wants more field goals. I want a field goal. Peter, it's the season of miracles, all right? Maybe for Christmas or for the holidays you get some field goals. And that's probably how the Niners season ends. And yet it's not because there was a whole controversy about a player who refused to enter the game. Never mind them for a second. Rams. Rams. Look at them. Eight and six. They were two and four. They are cruising. They win 12 to 6 after winning 44 to 42. What a time to be alive afterwards. Let's go to the quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Let's go to the best head coach in the NFL, Sean McVeigh. You won seven of nine now. Where does this team go from here? We've got a fine way to get better.

Obviously, you know, it wasn't great today.

But we're finding ways to win football games, whether it's, you know, scoring 44 last week in a

shootout or leaning on our defense in the run game this week in the rain and find a way to win.

That's what's all about in December.

We challenged our guys a few weeks back to really say, hey, no matter what happens, let's make sure there's no regrets. After the Philly game, hey, there's X amount of days left that we're guaranteed. There's X amount of games, X amount of practices. Let's make sure that we bring everything that we've got every single day. And when we look back on this, no matter what happens, there's no regrets. And I think our guys have done that since then. All right, let's look at the playoff picture here. The Rams are suddenly not only lurking, but very alive.

They control their own destiny. They're eight and six. The Seahawks are eight and five. Now, remember, Seahawks play the Packers this weekend. Tough game. It doesn't even matter in the division. The Rams play the Seahawks last game of of the season, head to head in L.A.

Remember, Rams went into Seattle, beat them a couple weeks back in overtime.

If the Rams win out, they are your division champions in the NFC West.

They're in the eight spot right now.

Seahawks, the three.

Of course, some great games this week.
