Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts. That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed. Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.
And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this, Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.
Chapter 2: What were the key moments in the Bills vs. Patriots game?
Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.
On today's part in my take presented by DraftKings week 15 in the NFL. We had a crazy, crazy Sunday. A lot of pretty catastrophic injuries. Some big time games. The playoff picture is getting a little bit clearer. We have some eliminated teams. Don't let the Bengals in the playoffs. We won't.

Welcome to part of my take presented by DraftKings.
The crown is yours. Today is Monday, December 15th. Week 15.
They're not going to get them.
We start in Chicago where the wind was blowing and the Iceman cometh as Caleb Pharrell Williams made the Bears faithful happy as he hit DJ more, more, more. How do you like it? How do you like it? For two touchdowns. And the route was on as DeAndre 3000 Swift said. The Browns' defense swells like poo, poo, poo, running for 98 yards and two scores himself.
As for the Browns, Shaderp Sanders went oopsie not once, not twice, but three times as he was legend-spoiled dairy as the milk has gotten rotten for the Cleveland offense. The one bright spot was... Making my way to the quarterback. Walking fast. Lineman pass and I got a sack. Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles. Garrett, if I could see you tonight.
I butchered that, but thanks to Vanessa Carlton for allowing me to use her hit song.

Chapter 4: What injuries impacted the Bears' performance in their game against the Browns?
But yeah, it felt good. It was like a no-doubter. The only bad things that happened in this game was Luther Burden got hurt. I think Cole Komet's okay. He's obviously important. And both those guys are important because Luther Burden looked really good. And then Adunze got hurt in warm-ups, which keeps happening to the Bears. They're training staff. Something's going on.
What happened in warm-ups? What was the injury?
I don't know. But this happened to Kyler Gordon last week. Tried to warm up. Now he's on IR. But the... I'm not going to look at negatives. We don't have to talk a lot about this game because it was such an ass-kicking. There was a little part of me when I woke up this morning that was like, ooh, don't let the Browns hang around. And they didn't.
Chapter 5: How did the Bears manage to dominate the Browns?
They didn't. Not at all. It was just a complete no-doubter. DeAndre Swift has been awesome. Picked off Shador three times. Shador got unlucky with the one that Jalen Johnson picked off in the end zone. That was insane. That was a perfect pass. Should have been a touchdown. Yeah. Yeah. Also with the Browns, Shador got the wrong wristband to start the game. I don't know how that happens. Crazy.
Are they actually sabotaging Shador? I don't know. They gave him a wristband with the wrong plays on it.
Now I put that on the team and then I put it on Shador for not realizing until like three minutes into the game that he had the wrong plays on his wristband.
Yes. Yes. That's gotta be a nightmare where like your coach is calling down, like you're getting the play call. You're looking at your wristband and you're so new to the NFL that you're like, am I fucking this up? Yeah. What's going on? He probably thought he was fucking it up for a while. Uh, but that's, that's a very Browns thing to have. Very Browns thing to happen.
Miles Garrett, 21 and a half sacks. He's one away from tying the record. It's kind of crazy he's doing it for a three-win team. Yeah, for a three-win team that's getting blown out. Yeah, because the Browns, we talked about it, they are competitive for halves. They were not competitive. I think there was at one point the Bears had more first downs than the Browns had plays.
Yeah, that was how like I we're watching the game. I was like to have the Browns. They had one big pass somewhere in the second quarter. And other than that, I don't think they had a first down for like the first three quarters. Would I like to prove that Caleb can play in the cold? Oh, yeah. He's a cold-weather quarterback. No, he looked so comfortable, and it was awesome to see.
And again, it's the complete victory that's kind of been eluding the Bears, where they just took care... The Browns are bad, so it's not like a walk-around being like, do you see that? But... If you want to be a good team, you got to beat the shit out of bad teams and not let bad teams hang around.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the playoff standings for the Bears and Lions?
And that's exactly what the Bears did. And now the swings in the NFC standings are just insane. The Bears went from after beating the Eagles on Black Friday, they went to the one seed. Then they went all the way down to the seventh seed after losing the Packers. Then they're all the way back up to the two seed now.
And I think it's going to change like four more times because we have big games against the Packers on Saturday, then the 49ers, then the Lions. Everything's still on the table. The Bears still could not make the playoffs. I think I am.
fairly confident they will because i think they're a very good team but everything is still on the table for which is pretty crazy to say for a 10 and 14 a very good team yeah the bears have upgraded to very where are you at on a scale of 1 to 10 i think they're a very good team no but where are you at personally oh i've been at like a nine and a half for a long time nine and a half yeah yeah i've been saying that i've been walking around and i i six out of ten went away so long ago i think it was probably stealer's game
That was way longer. Next week is such a big game. Huge game. Such a big game. Massive, massive game because that was a shitty loss last week, and now you get to do it again with the Packers. And the Niners game is going to be massive because of the NFC standings and where the Niners are at. So you guys go 2-1 during the playoffs, no matter what? I believe 2-1 is in the playoffs no matter what.
I think 1-2, it could be a problem. Yeah. So like I said, it's I said this, I think last week or the week before, like there could very well be an 11 win team that doesn't make the NFC playoffs.
Do you think that Caleb's going to get to 4000 yards?
Probably not, and I don't really care. Okay. That's obviously something eventually he will do, but yeah, this season has been so much fun. I haven't thought about 4,000 yards. I just didn't look at where he was at, but he's had a good season, so I didn't know if that was in the realm of possibility. Also, the stat, which was pretty crazy, he is... Let me pull it up.
He has thrown the fewest interceptions of any quarterback in NFL history through his first 1,000 passes. It's pretty good. Twelve interceptions through the first thousand passes. That's really good. Yeah. Yeah, he's playing well. And again, just a complete victory is nice to see. Do we think I love Kevin Stavansky? I think he's a very good coach. It probably feels like this might be it.
So I feel like Stefanski, you'd be doing him a favor almost by firing him. Yeah, I think he probably wants to start something fresh because it's got to be really shitty to coach the Browns. Yeah, I think he'd probably get hired immediately if he was fired. Yeah. I think he would probably last like a week. What is this Miles Garrett celebration going to look like?

Chapter 7: What injuries impacted the Broncos vs. Packers game?
Christian Watson also hurt. Bad day. Bad third quarter for the Packers. That was about as demoralizing as the Packers could get in one quarter. They were kind of handling the Broncos, and they were up 24-13 in that deep shot to Christian Watson that Patrick Sertan picks off because he's nasty. He gets hurt, and then non-contact injury for Michael Parsons.
The Packers are in some deep trouble, especially because they're all in player.
Chapter 8: How did Micah Parsons' injury affect the Packers' season?
That's their all-in player, and he might have torn his ACL. Yeah, it's a bummer for them. I know it breaks you up too, Big Cap. I wish I could turn injuries off. Because you want to beat the Packers at full strength, right? Yeah, yeah. If I could say that this game doesn't count, I would, but unfortunately the game counts. Credit to Bo Nix. Bo Nix had his perfect game today. He was so good.
302 yards, four touchdowns, no picks, didn't get sacked a single time today.
Dude, he was evading everything.
And he's so good at evading and keeping his eyes downfield and hitting guys downfield. And that fourth down throw, which wasn't the game winner because I don't know what happened at the end of the game where the Packers just kept on getting the ball back. It just kept on happening. It was like, oh, the game's over. Oh, no, it's not.
That fourth down throw on the sideline to Cortland Sutton was so sick. That was a big boy throw. What happened was somehow the Packers, they threw a pick with how much time was left in this game?
638 left. And then the Broncos went three and out.
Then they turned it over on downs. Then the Packers turned it over on downs. Then the Broncos turned it over on downs. Then the Packers turned it over on downs. Then it was the end of the game. So it was like punters were not on the field. Everybody was going for it. It was a great football game.
And it started off with a fight before the game, too, which you knew that these teams were going to go out there and fuck each other up for a little bit. It was a great football game. And this was the signature Bo Nix win. If this Bo Nix shows up in the playoffs. Oh, yeah. then everybody's in trouble. Danger. They're going to beat everybody in the NFL if they get games out of Bo Nix like this.
And they're now standing alone at the one seed. Hank, are you nervous about the Broncos? Because playing at mile high is just different. Yeah. If they have the one seed, I would be nervous. They looked good today. They did. And Bo Nix picked it up big time. He was phenomenal. They're a good team. Very good team. I think they're the best team in football with good Bo. Yeah.
