        • Ep. 55: Bracing for the Chaos

          The wait is no more, friends. Playoff time is upon us and how we got here so quickly, we haven’t the faintest idea. This week we said goodbye to 18 teams (some in more dismaying fashions than others!) and press onward to the most tense, yet most enjoyable period of a football season.

                      Week 12 has (mostly) come and gone, but our football spidey senses are still tingling. A day full of crazy endings, shoddy run defense and awful quarterbacks more than delivered on its entertainment quota. Cale and Jackson broke it down, in the following order:

                      • Head-Scratchers, which somehow AGAIN had to include one Daniel Snyder (1:32:09)
                      • A Monday Night Football lookahead, which mainly seems to include everyone's fantasy dreams on the line (1:46:09)
