I can’t even figure out what I just watched. This sport rules.

The Ravens and Steelers have played so many classics recently and this one probably tops them all. What a football game.

If I'm Brian Schottenheimer, I would've just stuck with whatever bad reason I had for keeping Jaydon Blue off the field in Week 18, as well, so as to avoid making it clear I'm focused on the wrong stuff

Pretty hilarious to miss that and maybe get a better outcome?

Kicking the FG and possibly giving up a long return was silly. Niners need two scoring drives. Pinning them deep with this clock has benefits.

Being up 10 instead of 13 is also an interesting one. Disincentives fourth-down aggression.

Turned on Manningcast, my wife just looked up:

“What is wrong with the guy on the bottom?”

“He’s sleeping! He fell asleep. No. Oh my god, is he OK?”

Eli Derp Face is alive and well.

Still check both Bluesky & Twitter, mostly bc of accounts over there that aren’t here, but I’m aware how bad that place is.

Still shocking to me today that over there, it’s like there isn’t even a Venezuela thing. I went back and forth comparing feeds; over there, basically can’t find posts on it.

Max Brosmer completed 9 passes for 51 yards and took 7 sacks for 48 yards lost

Isaac TeSlaa is the most extreme specialist I can remember, in a “ridiculous contested TD catch” role

Siegele and I spent 2.5 hours drafting which teams we think can win the Super Bowl as an excuse to talk about a fascinating 2025 playoff field. Was a fun one. Merry Xmas.

The Panthers being 25% below their expected pass rate in Sunday's upset of the Rams is the latest data point in a hugely run-heavy NFL season.

Only 13 teams are above their expected pass rate through Week 13.

Wrote a one-off post today, and kept it outside the paywall. It's evergreen and I think worth your time:

Yards after contact, breakaway runners, and more about how stats intersect

Just got done recording a 2.5-hour pod with Siegele for Stealing Bananas where we recalibrated our always fun 2026 first and second rounds, as we do once in-season each year.

It was a great one, keep an eye out.

No early-week recap ep due to Shawn still recovering from a nagging sickness. We’ll record something in a couple days.
@bengretch.bsky.social whats going on with this weeks ep?
