We’re in the middle of the NFL’s middle, then moving toward the top of the middle as Conor and Gary continue their four-at-a-time season preview countdown. This episode features two teams with Super Bowl titles in the past five years, lots of quarterback questions, and plenty of blind trust.

Once again, we will not reveal who the teams are in this episode description, but we will provide these clues from our conversations:

Also Team 16: The second half of a tie carried over cliffhanger-style from the previous show, this is the team that refused to tank (so good for them!).

Team 15: You’d call their offensive coordinator setup a no-win situation... if it were any other franchise.

Team 13: We like everyone on this team, and Conor has proclaimed them “Conor’s Team” for the 2022 season.

Also Team 13: The first team in their division to make an appearance on this countdown.

Plus, more Orioles takes that no one particularly wanted. Come back every Monday for the next four teams in the countdown.
