Fastest Two Minutes: Week 14 NFL Roundup

Starts at [03:03]

Big Cat and PFT set the tone by racing through every NFL game with puns, irreverence, and quick jokes. Noteworthy moments:

• Bills vs Bengals: "No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills." —Big Cat [07:58]
• Vikings shut out Commanders: "Vikings fans have been watching quarterback play this year...as their own personal 9/11." —PFT Commenter [03:52]
• Packers vs Bears: "ToyotaThon and Jordan...was ready to go hitting Christian Desean Watson. Is he a pervert too, Teach? Probably should be investigated pervert for two touchdowns." —Big Cat [10:01]

Other highlights:

• Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough gets love (and confusion over how to say his name)
• Steelers top Ravens in a gritty AFC North battle
• Dolphins roll the Jets ("15 years eliminated, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me, please." —Memes [06:57])
• Jokes pile on spray-tanned Hank (“You're almost doing Italian face.” —PFT [12:30], “I feel good about the hair. The tan...I don’t know.” —Hank [12:20])

Bills' Epic Snow Game Comeback vs Bengals

In-depth discussion at [13:27]

• Setting: Heavy snow in Buffalo, iconic winter vibes, stadium nearing its final games.
• Game flow: Bengals went up early, but Bills rallied led by spectacular plays from Josh Allen.
  • "Josh Allen just went full Josh Allen." —PFT [15:47]
  • "He had an awesome game... Joe Burrow had an awesome game. It was just the turnovers in the end for the Bengals." —Big Cat [15:52]
  • T. Higgins has “number one WR” game.
• Both teams praised for QB play, but turnovers, especially by Burrow, are decisive. Bills’ tight ends have a “matchup nightmare” day.
• Playoff implications: Bills have tough sledding ahead. Bengals likely finished under .500 for the first time since 2020.

Memorable Quotes:

• “How awesome is it to be a Bills fan where you just get to watch Josh Allen every single weekend?” —PFT [18:10]
• "Josh, please, for the people... last time you can throw a ball out of the stadium." —PFT [21:42]

Packers Edge Bears — NFC North Showdown

Starts at [118:02], deep breakdown from [119:10]

• Vibe: Big Cat lays out the rollercoaster Bears performance: slow start, strong 2nd half, devastating last-play interception.
  • "Ow. That hurt. I thought the Bears were going to win that game." —Big Cat [119:10]
• PFT actually praises the Bears: "The Bears are good. They played with them. They hung in there. They were tough." [119:15]
• Jordan Love’s streak: Excels during "ToyotaThon." (36 TD, 2 INT in ToyotaThon games; wild stat recap at [124:16])
• Playoff outlook: Bears now on the NFC bubble despite strong season; Packers surging.
• Coach animosity: Ben Johnson (Bears) and Matt LaFleur (Packers) have a frosty handshake. "I want it. I don’t want Ben Johnson to like Matt LaFleur." [132:17]

Chiefs Lose to Texans, May Be Finished

Analysis at [133:39]

• Game context: Texans grind out a defensive win. Andy Reid’s inexplicable 4th-down decision on his own 30-yard line comes under fire.
  • “That decision... is nuts... every now and then there’s a decision where you can be like, what was that?” —Big Cat [141:02]
• Chiefs' offense looks broken: O-line woes, drops, even Mahomes not sharp.
  • “I declared them done on Thanksgiving.” —PFT [136:11]
• Texans hype: Could finish 12–5, look like a real threat defensively.

Other Game Highlights & Hot Takes

College Football Playoff Bracket Reveal

Breakdown begins at [145:14]

• JMU is in! PFT refuses to apologize for G5 representation; Miami edges out Notre Dame after head-to-head tiebreak reversal in final committee rankings.
• Righteous Notre Dame outrage: They refuse to play a bowl as protest against ESPN, in Big Cat’s words “now I’m on Notre Dame’s side because ESPN... enemy of my enemy is my friend.” [151:09]
• Committee errors/contradictions heavily dissected (bad conference tiebreakers, head-to-heads ignored for weeks, sudden reversal, etc.).
• Indiana’s miracle Big Ten title is lauded; Mendoza gets wrestling promo comparisons. “Indiana was the losingest college football program of all time... now they just won the Big Ten title.” [155:20]
