Seahawks and Rams ROLL | Kill Shot for the Chiefs? | Unlocked with LT and Brock Huard Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

The NFL playoff picture is heating up, and there’s no better time to break it all down than on a brand-new episode of Unlocked with Lance Taylor and Brock Huard.

Lance and Brock react to dominant wins by the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, diving into what those performances say about each team’s trajectory as the postseason race tightens. Are the Seahawks hitting their stride at the perfect time? Are the Rams quietly becoming one of the most dangerous teams in the NFC?

The guys also tackle one of the biggest questions in the NFL right now: Are the Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff hopes officially dead? Brock Huard brings expert insight from a former NFL quarterback’s perspective while Lance Taylor weighs in on what’s gone wrong — and whether there’s any path left for Kansas City to make a late push.
