Summary

After 15 weeks of NFL football, the playoff picture is becoming more clear. But almost as important as who is going to get in, is how they are going to get there. We saw both the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks finish their games with questions about the health of their signal callers. While in Detroit, the Lions, already seriously injured on defense, suffered through more pain in a loss to the Buffalo Bills. But that’s what happens at this time of year. Nobody is playing healthy. Except for Ben Solak and ESPN sports analytics writer Seth Walder. Ben switches into the hosts chair, while Seth subs in as guest. The pair make sure you understand how the action unfolded on Sunday, and why it went down the way that it did. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:41.6	That would be too far.
0:42.6	It was a, it was a not eventful in the sense of good football, but eventful in the sense
0:46.9	of playoff decision sort of a Sunday.
0:48.6	The Texans have officially won the AFC South with their win and the Colts lost.
0:51.9	The steals are going to the postseason to fight the fact that they lost to the Eagles.

1:02.1	Well, I have just watched the Bills beat the Lions.
1:06.5	These were the two teams that going into today, I would have said, were the best two teams in football.
1:12.2	And I would have put that Lions 1, Bill's 2.
