The 2020 Steelers are the worst 11-3 team in sports history

I tweeted out that they are—are they the worst 11 and 3 team in any sport in history? And I think they still might be. I don't see the Steelers being able to win in the playoffs.

The Steelers went 12-4 but lost at home in the Wild Card round to the Browns after trailing 28-0 in the first quarter, confirming their 'fraud' status to many.

Aaron Rodgers is going to win the MVP and he deserves it

Aaron Rodgers is the MVP... I have to just sit here and say, he is most likely going to win the MVP. It's probably deserved. The Packers look awesome.

Aaron Rodgers won the 2020 NFL MVP award.

The Titans defense is not good enough to compete in the playoffs

The Titans are, I don't know what—I mean, they're kind of what we think. Like they're just—they can look explosive sometimes, but their defense is not good... I just don't think their defense can hang. They have no pass rush. There's zero pass rush and they just don't get off the field on third down.

The Titans lost in the Wild Card round to the Ravens, scoring only 13 points, while their defense allowed Lamar Jackson to rush for 136 yards.

Drew Brees is holding the Saints back and might not be able to make the big throws needed in the playoffs

I still believe that Drew Brees is what holds [the Saints] back. He definitely looks limited... it feels like we're just heading on a collision course to a big game where Drew Brees needs to make like five to six huge throws. And it's just not exactly the same as it used to be.

Correct. In the Saints' playoff loss to the Bucs, Brees threw three interceptions and looked physically incapable of driving the ball downfield.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
