The Commanders are officially the streak-breakers of the NFL

The Commanders are officially the streak breakers of the NFL—streak breaking kings of the NFL. This was a 31 game home winning streak for Desmond Ridder that was snapped today. We beat the Ravens when they had their 24 game preseason streak. The Bears had a 14 game losing streak, the Commanders broke that last week. We broke the Eagles 8-0 streak last year. The Commanders just seem like streak breakers.

The factual claims about the streaks broken are correct, making the label a valid observation.

I am not ready to declare the Titans dead because Mike Vrabel always finds a way to win

I'm actually not ready to declare the Titans dead yet. Because Vrabel always will have a game. Vrabel finds a way. The last time they started two and four, you know what they did? I think they made it all the way to the AFC Championship game.

The Titans finished the 2023 season 6-11 and missed the playoffs, effectively being 'dead' shortly after this take.

The Ravens are currently good but lack the killer instinct to be great

I feel like the Ravens are in the good have not figured out how to be great category yet... they're not being able to step on a team's throat... they're not finishing drives and they're not letting teams just kind of linger around.

The Ravens eventually secured the #1 seed in the AFC but lost in the AFC Championship game to the Chiefs, supporting the idea they struggled to finish on the biggest stage.

If the NFL hosts a Super Bowl in London, we should riot and reclaim England as a U.S. territory

If that happens, we riot. If we have to play a Super Bowl in England, we get all of England back as part of the United States. It's the Super Bowl. It's not the International Bowl.

The NFL has continued to explore international games but has not yet scheduled a Super Bowl in London as of 2024.

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.
