Do the Dallas Cowboys have a chance to save their season or will it be too little, too late for Dak and company? Will the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams actually hang on to the NFC North lead? Can Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs survive a desperate showdown with the surging Indianapolis Colts? Have the Packers done enough to go deep in the playoffs or will their season end like it has in recent years?
Scoop City hits the road for a full Week 12 preview. James Palmer starts in Indy, where the Colts head into Arrowhead in one of the loudest environments in football. The Athletic’s James Boyd joins the show to break down how Daniel Jones and Shane Steichen plan to handle Steve Spagnuolo’s exotic pressures, what losing DeForest Buckner means for slowing down Mahomes, and why Arrowhead still feels like a cheat code on game day.
Then we swing down to Dallas with Jon Machota, who explains where the leadership from Dak Prescott and that locker room has shown up the most. On the field, James and Jon look at whether Jerry Jones quietly nailed this defensive rebuild, how the additions up front are transforming the unit, and what to expect from a brutal 12-day stretch against the Eagles, Chiefs and Lions that could define the Cowboys’ season.
Back in the NFC North, Kevin Fishbain joins to dissect how Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams have the Bears out to a 7–3 start and on top of the division.
Matt Schneidman stops by to talk Packers, Josh Jacobs’ toughness, life without Tucker Kraft, whether Jordan Love can truly carry Green Bay in a pinch, and what it would take for Matt LaFleur’s seat to actually heat up.
Finally, Jake Ciely helps set our lineups for Week 12. James and Jake hit Rome Odunze’s emergence, what an Aaron Rodgers wrist injury means for DK Metcalf and the Steelers’ offense, and how to sort out a couple of tricky “Wilson” calls in your lineup. Jake also unveils his best roller coasters in America.
