Summary

December 19, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 66 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Detroit Lions on the road on Sunday afternoon. We open this show by going over the latest regarding the transactions that they Steelers made since our Wednesday show. We discuss OLB Jeremiah Moon being signed off the Carolina Panthers practice squad and what that might mean for the next few weeks. The steelers also signed LS Cal Adomitis to the practice squad on Friday so we discuss the possibility of him being elevated on Saturday for Sunday's game. As usual, Alex and I look at the Steelers' latest injury report for their upcoming game and how there's a possibility that several players could miss the Sunday game in Detroit against the Lions due to health reasons. The Lions' latest injury report is also covered during this segment. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We welcome Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press back to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Lions game. Birkett has covered the Lions for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday afternoon game in Detroit and his recap of the Lions' season to date in addition to his outlook for the team moving into Sunday in addition to his final score prediction.

After finishing with Birkett, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Lions game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday afternoon. Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for the remainder of the Week 164 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag.
