Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Monday, November 17th, week 11. Whoop! Let me be the first to say congratulations to Saskatchewan Rough Riders. Grey Cup champions. Our dear friends up north. It was Tavon Campbell's chunky soup with a big fumble on Shea Patterson to win the game. And je suis dƩsolƩ for our friends up in Montreal.
Not Montreal, not their year, Alouette's. Okay, so congrats on the Grey Cup. We start in Minnesota where Vikings fans were chanting, do it for the nine, he ain't gonna do it. Do it for the nine, he ain't gonna do it. Do it for the nine, he ain't gonna do it. But J.J. McCarthy did eventually do it, entertaining Minnesota fans for six seconds.

Chapter 2: How did the Bears manage to win against the Vikings?
They took Joe Burrow. We took Chase Young with that pick. And so I'm watching it starting out. I'm like, come on, let's go commies. Let's see what we got here. And then as the game goes further and further, I'm like, we really need to figure out a way to lose this game.
Yeah.
And there was nothing. I'll say this, though. I think I was right about Dan Quinn taking over the defense.
Oh, definitely.
They definitely played harder. Now, granted, for some reason, the Dolphins kind of stopped running the ball to the outside when it seemed like every time they did that, they were getting like 15 yards a clip. Yeah. Devon A-chain is awesome. He's awesome. He's a reason why you still watch the Dolphins if you're a Dolphins fan. Yeah, he's awesome.

Chapter 3: What happened in the Dolphins vs. Commanders game in Spain?
He's fast. We're slow on defense. I don't know why they stopped doing that, but the defense did play harder, which I appreciated. So good job, Dan Quinn, with that one. The offense still looked like dog shit. We're missing all these guys. We got Robbie Chosen out there as a wide receiver option.
One guy that I didn't even know was on the roster until going into today that actually saw significant playing time. And there's just... There's really no hope for this commander season. So, yeah, you better believe I'm rooting for a loss. Yeah, it was a great loss. And both teams understood the assignment in the fact that they were like, hey, we're both bad.
Very long shot to get to the playoffs. We're just going to go for it. And we had three turnovers on downs within the two yard line. It was insane to watch. Could not punch it in. And you had even the Dolphins at the end. I consider myself on the more aggressive side when I'm watching a game of go for it.
When they had that fourth down at the end of the game, I was like, dude, just kick a field goal here. Kick a field goal here and then make Marcus Mariota answer because I don't know if he can. And then they went for it, didn't get it. I guess gives you a long field. And then Mariota throws that pick in overtime.
And the Dolphins, listen, we said about it, we talked about it on Friday, the Dolphins are 4-7 and their next four games are Saints, at Jets, at Steelers, and the Bengals. Yeah, the Dolphins, they're not mathematically dead yet. They're climbing, scratching and clawing, and we also had a vote of confidence from Steven Ross.
He said McDaniel and Tua is going to be his quarterback-coach combination in 2026. And see if they had lost this game, he would not have done that vote of confidence thing. And then the fans would probably be way happier. Right. So I do find myself taking a zoomed out big picture of how this is going right now, because I'm going to put commanders.
They're one of like, I'd say three or four finalists for season from hell. Yeah. It's been a season from hell. And so you know what I really want? I want that Hank schedule next year. I want that last place schedule. Yeah. Did you hear what a fun year that was for me last year?
Yeah.
Who said that in the gambling cave, the nickname? Oh, Meek Phil. The nickname for Drake May is The Schedule. I started calling him The Big Schedule. Hank did not like that joke. I don't think he got it. He no-sold it so hard. He just went straight into, I don't get it. Yeah. I don't. Well, I mean, it's a bad joke, but you can understand what it is.

Chapter 4: What key defensive strategies are highlighted in the Ravens vs. Browns game?
He's Northwestern. You got to. Brainiac. This is the first time the Packers defense has held opponents to 20 or fewer points in seven of their first 10 games since they last won the Super Bowl. So their defense is it. Their defense is very, very good. Their offense is still a work in progress. I'll say this.
When the Bears and the Packers play in a few weeks, I wish we could do a prop of drop passes because the Packers drop so many passes. They just drop passes left and right. Yep. I also would love to know, Packers fans got to be frustrated. Romeo Dobbs got to be frustrated, right? Because he does things sometimes where you're like, that guy's special. And then he drops passes or gets hurt.
Chapter 5: How did the Broncos manage to win against the Chiefs?
And it just has to be frustrating. Yeah, I think they're very frustrated with the state of the offense. Yeah. Needs to change. But they won. I was hoping Jameis would pull it off. He does look good. He does. He looks good. And he gave a good pump-up speech. Yep. Not the weird Jameis. We just got good, pure, focused, excited, aggressive Jameis. Yep. Okay, next game.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Broncos' victory for their playoff chances?
I have a question for you. Yeah. Do you turn your head to eat a taco? What? Do you turn your head to eat a taco? Or do you turn... Maybe a little. Oh, you let the taco dominate you. I don't know. I'd have to have a taco to... I think it's... Yeah, because you're like not trying to spill. You turn your head for the taco. You don't turn the taco. No, because then it will spill. It could.
Yeah, if you turn the taco, it's going to spill. Or if you grip it like an alpha, if you take dominance over the taco. Well, you're doing a soft taco.
No, I'm doing a hard taco.
This is how I eat a taco. I go. But that's a soft. What you're gripping right now is a soft taco. That is not a hard taco. You just crushed your hard taco. So soft taco is totally different. I wouldn't move my head for a soft taco. Okay, you're talking about like a tortilla shell. You turn both. You can't turn your head both ways. So you go. Like that, with a taco.
That was Cam Scatterboot's question that he wanted to know. No, for a hard shell, I turn my head, I would say. For a soft shell, probably not. You can also go straight on. Yeah. And no one changes. It's just like, I'll meet the taco where it is. I guess I got to get a taco. Yeah. To find out. Let's order tacos tonight and figure it out. These are the type of questions that I definitely have.
There's one way I do it that naturally I'm doing it, but I've never thought about it. It's like the balls in, balls out question about pissing. I know I have a way. I just don't know. Does anybody take their balls out? I think if you pull your underwear out.
underneath your balls i just go leave the boys indoors i think i might go balls out i don't know i'll have to test both i'll eat a taco while i'm taking a piss i'll be good i'll report back on wednesday show so then you'll be yeah yeah yeah we'll find out both okay um steelers 34 bangles 12 Steelers defense. Can we be done with the Bengals? Yeah, we're done with the Bengals.
But as of last week, they were still in it. Now they're not. But they also have just a miserable four games coming up. They were done with the Bengals. It's nice every now and then to just be done with teams. We're done with the Bengals this year. There's been thrilling moments. Joe Flacco has had some fun moments, but we're done with the Bengals. They're not making the playoffs.
Joe Burrow, don't rush back. I think Bengals fans would agree. We're done with the Bengals this year. I would agree. Their offense, they turned the ball over. The Steelers defense allowed one touchdown. They scored two touchdowns.

Chapter 7: What challenges do the Chiefs face in playoff contention?
Right. So they might need 11 wins. Right. That was my point. Because you conceivably, I think the Jaguars are going to get to 10 wins. I think the Chargers are going to get to 10 wins. The Bills are going to get to 10 wins. The Chiefs might have to get to 11 wins. Yeah. And so that means they have to win, what, six out of their next? They have to win six out of their last seven, right?
Is that math right? 11 and am I doing my math right? Yep.
Chapter 8: How are the Broncos performing at home this season?
Six plus five would be 11. Yeah. Which they could do. Yes, they got to win six out of seven. That's the point, Hank, is that it's not. It's the math is like 10 wins. I think they might be in trouble. Okay, but let me set this up for you guys. They lose next week to the Colts. Oh, then they're done. No, because they can still win six. They still have six games left. Right.
But I don't think they'll win all six.
Right.
But then how would we feel as America about the Chiefs being eliminated from playoff contention on Thanksgiving? Wow. Would that be fun? Wow. That's crazy. Would we like that, America? Well, it wouldn't be official, but it would be. It would be pretty much. It would be pretty much. It wouldn't feel as good as, like, really eliminating the Chiefs. You know what I mean? Yeah. But we could say it.
You could say it. We could always just say it. They're in trouble, man. It's not... This was a game... They've fucked around a little too much, and they've lost a couple games where they've had a hard schedule, but that Monday night game against the Jaguars is kind of looming on them. If they had won that game, you'd be thinking, oh, the Chiefs are totally fine.
They're 6-4, and they have a tiebreaker over the Jaguars, but Yeah. They're in trouble, Hank. Now, Hank, I have a question for you because I said it in my boomer. The Broncos are now 6-0 at home.
Are you worried at all about possibly having the Broncos go be the one seed and the road to the Super Bowl goes through Denver, a very difficult place to play where their defense seems to... The Chiefs' offensive line was having to cheat on every play because the Broncos were getting such a good jump. They're that talented.
Yeah, but it's all relative, I think. It's like I would rather still play. I think I would rather play the Broncos at mile high than the Chiefs at home in the AFC Championship or a Bills or a Ravens.
Wait, in Foxborough?
