Philip Rivers, retired since 2020, just signed with the Colts practice squad—could he start against the Seahawks?
The episode begins with the hosts catching up on missed episodes due to illness and reviewing last week's prediction questions about playoff seeding and eliminations. They introduce three new quiz questions for the week, focusing on Philip Rivers' family size, a rumored Cowboys trade, and Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes' combined turnovers. The first major topic is Philip Rivers' return to the Colts after retirement, with discussions on his age, arm strength, and potential Hall of Fame implications. The hosts then say goodbye to two teams, starting with the Cardinals, analyzing their underperformance, coach Jonathan Gannon's likely firing, and quarterback Kyler Murray's future. Next, they discuss the Browns' season, highlighting rookie quarterback Shadeur Sanders' promising play and the team's defensive issues, including the departure of executive Paul DePodesta. The game analysis segment focuses on the Patriots vs. Bills matchup, with Rasmus arguing for the Patriots due to Drake Maye's MVP-level performance and a 10-game win streak, while Peter counters with Bills' strengths like Josh Allen and pass rush. The episode covers Danish center Hjalte Froholdt's performance for the Cardinals against a tough Texans defense. The hosts make weekly picks for multiple games, including Buccaneers vs. Falcons, Browns vs. Bears, and Ravens vs. Bengals, offering brief reasoning for each choice. They conclude with the quiz answers, revealing Rivers has 11 children and grandchildren, Jerry Jones claimed he offered Micah Parsons for Quinnen Williams, and Hurts and Mahomes combined for eight turnovers.
