NFL podcast Charlie O Sun Nov 30, 2025

#1 What does Chicago Bears’ upset win over Philadelphia Eagles — including a massive 255-yard combined rushing effort — mean for their playoff chances this season?

#2 With injuries piling up across the league (the Baltimore Ravens’Chandler Martin’s season-ending ACL tear), how are team depth and roster management becoming more critical as they head into the final stretch?

#3 Kansas City Chiefs just got graded a “B” for a narrow loss — what does this signal about the sustainability of their recent playoff-level standards under pressure?

#4 Charlie, does the firing of Las Vegas Raiders assistant coach Chip Kelly really underscore head coach Pete Carroll’s goal of building up the team. Does that leave a bitter taste in Carroll’s mouth as he had no real say in Kelly’s firing? The Raiders lost another tough one again to the Los Angeles Chargers 31-14.

#5 For teams with rookie or newly returned quarterbacks such as the Cleveland Browns Shedeur Sanders, how important is coaching support and defense-driven wins in shaping their long-term future this season?

#4 In the second half the Commanders outscored Las Vegas 21-14. The damage was done mostly in the first half and the Raiders couldn’t salvage it in the second half getting shutout in the third quarter and scoring twice on touchdowns thrown by quarterback Geno Smith at 12:57 to Tre Tucker for a ten yard pass and at 3:42 Smith hit Tucker for a 61 yard touchdown.

#5 The Chicago Bears who lost their first two games of the season and faced the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#2 Samuel had 97 yards from scrimmage in his last four games, is second in touches behind Jordan Mason. Against the Bears last Sunday Samuel carried for 35 yards from scrimmage five yards on two carries.

#3 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football at Levi Stadium at 5:15pm PST. The Rams are second in the NFC West , they have won their last two games, and have won four of their last six games. Do you see the Rams being a much tougher customer than the Bears were?
