Summary
Conor and Gary break down a Sunday full of uneven action, ugly offense and unexplainable errors as teams across the NFL look to survive the last third of the regular season.
We start things off with the Sunday night game in Baltimore, where the Browns passing offense (and, therefore, entire offense) was revealed as downright dysfunctional in a loss to the Ravens. And while the Ravens didn’t fare much better against a Browns defense that has been built to stop their all-world quarterback, Baltimore still had Lamar Jackson on their side.
Also, a look at how the Packers moved to 9–3 with a convincing win over a Rams team that still hasn’t found its way with its big-name acquisitions, the 49ers continue to recapture their 2019 offensive form in rolling for a third straight week, the Bucs get a little help in the form of some sloppy Indy turnovers and some questionable officiating in coming back to beat the Colts, and the Bengals simply blast the Steelers for a third straight time.
Plus, the latest weirdness from the Texans, what it means that Kliff Kingsbury got sucked into the college coaching carousel, and much more!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the MMQB NFL podcast I'm Gary Brantley and I'm |
| 0:09.3 | Connor Ror. Jenny Brantis is out on assignment. I don't know. That sounds like something we should say right now, right? |
| 0:18.0 | Yeah. And missed. Obviously. Yes. We will give you no further details. Yeah. There's no mystery as to why Jenny isn't here. She simply isn't here. She simply isn't here. She'll be back next show. And mind your own business. |
| 0:34.0 | We have a week 12 Sunday to run through so many mistakes this week, so much poor play. We're going to criticize our social betters whenever |
| 0:46.8 | we can and we're going to start with the Sunday night game which was close. People played and I did there were a lot of things to worry about on both sides of this. |
| 1:03.4 | I don't know, who do you want to start with, Connor? |
| 1:04.8 | You want to break down the Raven stuff or the Brown stuff? |
| 1:08.1 | Let's start with the Browns, and really, where you start, right? |
| 1:13.0 | I think the next-gen stats number that they showed in the broadcast |
| 1:17.4 | was a little bit misleading when they said that the Ravens |
| 1:20.5 | had gone only, had gone eight plus men in the box 14% of the time. I think it was probably a little bit more than that depending on how you would count it, right? Or you know, maybe they brought guys in right afterwards to sort of like disguise the looks or |
| 1:34.4 | whatever but the Ravens basically played like an eight man front the whole game and |
| 1:39.2 | were like hey Baker like beat us and and he couldn't do it and you know I understand that there |
| 1:45.1 | are injury issues involved here there are certainly maybe not as high |
| 1:49.8 | wattage of a receiving core as he once had maybe you never really had a high |
| 1:55.0 | high wattage of receiving core and you were just under the impression that you did, |
| 1:58.0 | but this was bad. |
| 2:00.0 | You know, they couldn't move the ball. |
| 2:02.0 | I mean, he had mistakes, but it should have been worse like as bad as this game was it should have been worse and so I think that was bad and the other thing too that really just sort of |
| 2:13.7 | immediately struck me with the Browns is like you cannot with that defense get a |
| 2:18.8 | critical stop like yes you picked off Lamar Jackson four times but your offense gives you nothing to show for it and |
| 2:26.2 | then on the downs where you absolutely need to get off the field at the very end of the game you can't |
