Episode 116: Cowboys’ Playoff Path Narrows, Mahomes Injury Shakes the League, 21 Savage Drops

This week, the guys discuss the Cowboys’ 34–26 loss to the Vikings and why it feels like the season is effectively over, even if the team continues to operate otherwise. Dallas falls to 6-7-1, remains outside the NFC playoff picture, and continues to struggle with red zone execution and defensive consistency. With Philadelphia firmly in control of the division, the conversation centers on the growing gap between the team’s public messaging and the reality of where things stand.


Around the league, Miami turns to rookie Quinn Ewers as the season shifts toward evaluation, Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL abruptly ends Kansas City’s year and reshapes the AFC outlook, and Micah Parsons being sidelined adds another major injury to an already thinning playoff field. In the NBA, Kevin Garnett returns to Minnesota in a significant role as the franchise prepares to honor his legacy, while the Knicks’ NBA Cup win reignites debate about the tournament’s place in the league. In music, 21 Savage releases What Happened to the Streets? and sparks conversation with a series of Atlanta-focused tweets, A$AP Rocky resurfaces with updates on Don’t Be Dumb, and the episode closes with a holiday music discussion.
