Week 16 didn’t just deliver drama — it reshaped the NFL playoff race.

In his first solo episode, Matt breaks down the biggest games of the weekend and what they mean for the postseason picture, starting in the NFC before moving across to the AFC. From Seattle’s stunning comeback against the Rams, to the Bears’ statement win over the Packers, and Carolina’s continued rise as Tampa Bay’s season slips away — the NFC playoff race is wide open.

We also dive into the AFC, where Trevor Lawrence is finally showing why he was a No.1 overall pick, the Jaguars surge into contention, and the Patriots quietly complete one of the league’s biggest turnarounds. Plus, we look at how Bryce Young and Caleb Williams are changing the trajectory of their franchises, and why so many teams with losing records last season are now genuine playoff threats.

If you want a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of who’s rising, who’s fading, and why December football separates contenders from pretenders, this episode is for you.
