True Super Bowl Contenders, RIP Niners, Savior Penix, and the End for Rodgers (But Not for Russ) with Cousin Sal

The Ringer's Bill Simmons is joined by Cousin Sal to discuss Josh Allen's mounting MVP case, and the continuation of the 49ers' season from hell after falling to the Bills (2:16). Then, they talk Ravens-Eagles, Bengals-Steelers, Falcons-Chargers, and the Snakebitten Jets (20:30). They wonder who is the NFL's new worst head coach, discuss Trevor Lawrence taking a scary hit vs. the Texans, the Bryce Young renaissance, Cardinals-Vikings, and the still confounding NFC West (46:57). Finally, they guess the lines for NFL Week 14, and close the show with Parent Corner (1:04:21).
