The Podcast "Survive This" Week 16: Saturday Scares and Survivor Snafus

Send us a text

The stakes have reached a fever pitch as we head into the home stretch with only 12 survivors left in the pool. In this episode, we break down a chaotic Week 15 that saw the end of an era in Kansas City; the Chiefs have been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time in 11 years following a heartbreaking loss to the Chargers and a devastating ACL tear for Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the Bills kept the AFC East race alive with a massive revenge win over the Patriots, fueled by a six-touchdown masterclass from Josh Allen and James Cook. We also dive into the Broncos’ statement win over the Packers behind Bo Nix’s electric four-touchdown performance—a game overshadowed by season-ending injuries to Micah Parsons and Christian Watson.

Looking ahead to Week 16, the strategy gets even thinner as the games carry more weight. We make the case for why it’s time to finally embrace J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings as they face a free-falling Giants squad, and why you should steer clear of the Eagles-Commanders Saturday showdown despite Philly’s recent dominance. Finally, we weigh the risk of the Saints-Jets matchup, questioning if the "Mendoza Sweepstakes" will motivate the Jets to bottom out while New Orleans remains the ultimate wildcard. From survival pool picks to the league's biggest injury fallout, we've got everything you need to navigate the most stressful weeks of the season.
