The Ravens are the most injured team of 2021

With Marlon Humphrey getting hurt last week and Lamar Jackson getting hurt this week... You officially are the champions of most injured team of 2021. Like I said, you probably already had that crown, but this was like, this was the final piece of having Lamar Jackson getting hurt.

The Ravens were indeed historically injured in 2021, leading the NFL in Adjusted Games Lost due to injury by a significant margin.

Steve Kornacki's 'phantom scroll' is a blank prop with nothing written on it

I'm a Kornacki scroll truther. I don't think that he actually has anything written on that piece of paper. [It's] probably a prop.

This is a subjective humorous claim about a TV production element.

Teams down nine points should go for two early to gain strategic clarity

Harbaugh gave us a new little wrinkle to think about... if you're down nine, you go for two, because you're going to have to go for two anyways, to win. You're going to want to know exactly when you need to get that two points.

This is a common modern analytical takeaway that many coaches have started to adopt to manage late-game clock and possessions.

Every team in the AFC North is actually just very average

I think all the teams in the [AFC North] when they play their best games are very good, but they usually don't play their best. They're just very average teams. I think, man, this really makes me wish that the Steelers weren't on Thursday night.

The division was highly mediocre in 2021; the Bengals won it with just 10 wins, and no team finished with more than 10 wins.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
