The Lions head into the week 16 in must-win territory. How is Detroit is preparing for the final stretch of the season. The Ravens find themselves still with a chance to win the division, will Lamar Jackson get Baltimore back to the postseason. The 49ers continue to win despite their long list of injuries. How Kyle Shanahan kept his team in the fight for the #1 seed in the NFC?
James Palmer takes Scoop City on a Thursday road trip with major playoff stakes across the league. The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy opens the show from Detroit, breaking down the Lions’ slim postseason odds, what winning out vs. the Steelers, Vikings and Bears would mean, and how Dan Campbell’s play-calling has turned this offense into a big-play machine.
In Baltimore, Jeff Zrebiec joins to sort out the Ravens’ playoff path, Lamar Jackson’s reduced rushing and uptick in interceptions, and why a Derrick Henry–powered offense has struggled so badly in the red zone. They also tackle the big-picture question: what happens with John Harbaugh if this finish doesn’t match expectations?
Out west, Vic Tafur explains how Kyle Shanahan has kept the injury-riddled 49ers in the hunt for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, what Brock Purdy has shown about leading a deep playoff run, and how the Brandon Aiyuk situation and defensive issues against the run and in the pass rush could define San Francisco’s postseason.
Jake Ciely closes things out with fantasy advice as the playoffs heat up, from life without Patrick Mahomes to what Gardner Minshew and Baker Mayfield mean for key weapons — plus a quick detour into holiday music rankings.
James wraps with an Extra Point on why this season’s parity, with new teams rising and traditional powers vulnerable, could make this one of the most wide-open postseasons in years.
