S3E13: Dawson Knox & PLAYOFFS!

·49 min·3 clips

Dawson Knox says Josh Allen scores 40-plus touchdowns for five straight years.

Brad Gelber welcomes Reed Ferguson and Dawson Knox back to the podcast. The opening stretch is about catching up after a long gap between recordings and setting up the playoff game that is front and center. The tone stays easy. Instead of jumping straight into the matchup, the conversation spends time on how the team has handled the weeks since clinching the division and what it takes to stay sharp when the goal is already in sight. That leads into a longer run at the Pro Bowl. The hosts note that Josh and Dion were selected, then widen the lens to the other names that could have been in that group too, because the point is less about scorekeeping and more about recognition. Knox answers in the same calm register. He says the team believes more players deserved a nod, but he also makes the plain football point that the real hope is to be busy enough in January that nobody has to dwell on the Pro Bowl at all. That balance gives the conversation its shape. It treats the selection as a compliment without pretending it is the finish line, and it keeps the bigger goal of a Super Bowl run right in the middle of the frame. Reed and Brad keep pushing in that same direction. They talk through how a 13-4 team that locked up the No. 2 seed in Week 17 still carries the weight of a season that had to be earned, even after the division was wrapped up on December 4. The episode never gets loud. That works here, because the questions are built to draw out context rather than chase a quick clip. Knox has room to answer at length. The result feels like a conversation from inside the building, with the kind of familiarity that comes from people who know the team, know the city, and know what fans are looking at when the playoff bracket starts tightening. The finish keeps the tone loose. There is a little late-show humor about film room time, sleeping bags, and getting ready for the grind, which gives the ending a lived-in feel instead of a polished sign-off. The close thanks Knox for joining and sends the audience off with the sense that the next conversation may already be waiting if the playoff run keeps going. That is the lane the show likes best.
