Winners: Bucs, Seahawks, the Neuheisel family, and Ohio State WRs—Emeka Egbuka is a glue-guy mentality in a rising star.
Losers: Penn State, the Harbaughs, the Jets, and yes, Mark Sanchez’s timeline.
If the NFL playoffs started today, who’s real and who’s pretending?
We open with Seahawks–Bucs (early game of the year): Tampa’s late-game DNA keeps cashing while Seattle answers every punch. The Broncos and Bo Nix stun the Eagles—what broke on defense and why Philly's bend-don't-break approach finally caught up with them.
Plus, the Bills might need a reminder: they can’t ask Josh Allen to do everything. Drake Maye is quietly separating from his QB class, and Mike Vrabel looks built for January. The Ravens defense looked rough—does the Harbaugh noise have football merit or just frustration?
We also play SPORTLE (guess the highest paid per year by position), then hit college fallout: Texas and Penn State tumble, PSU’s loss is brutal, UCLA’s win with Jerry Neuheisel calling it was a great family moment, and why Texas fans need to take a DEEP breath on Arch Manning... It'll all be fine...
