Summary

As week 13 nears an end, it's time to take a step back and look at the AFC playoff picture in the context of Sunday's results as the Colts keep on winning, the Chargers blow out the Bengals, and the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens might be done + Rob Gronkowski keeps defying logic with how he's playing in Tampa Bay, an early Hall of Fame campaign speech for Andrew Whitworth, the Niners fall to a poor Seahawks team, the Vikings hand the Lions their first win under Dan Campbell and more with Robert Mays and Nate Tice.

0:20.5	Nate, how you doing, buddy? Doing great. My, uh, my very first NFL game where I was not affiliated with the team, either me or my dad. And it was how to go for you. Weird. Very weird. I also, man, I, I, this is going to sound just like a spoiled brat, but it's like, I'm bored in the stands.
0:38.8	Like, it's like when I'm not in the same thing. I haven't been to a game as a fan in years. It's weird. It really is. The stadium, though, in Vegas here is absolutely gorgeous.

1:09.8	We're going to spend the the show today. We're
