Wildcard Weekend showed us one thing loud and clear: the postseason doesn’t care about reputations — only results.

This week on Stirring the Pot, we crank up the heat in the Playoff Pressure Cooker, breaking down the wildest moments from NFL and college football’s biggest games. From blowouts that exposed pretenders to nail-biters that tested championship composure, nothing was predictable and no one was safe.

We debate whether Houston is truly legit after dominating Pittsburgh, if the Rams and Bills can survive deeper playoff rounds playing with fire, and whether the 49ers’ win over Philly was a statement — or inevitable. On the college side, we ask if Miami proved they’re title-ready and whether Indiana just announced itself as the national championship favorite.

Then it’s The Boiling Point 🔥 — a league-wide reckoning as big-name coaches get shown the door. Super Bowl rings didn’t save anyone, and we break down who was fired too soon, who earned the blame, and which vacant jobs are actually worth chasing.

We wrap with Potluck Picks, throwing out bold predictions for next week’s playoff matchups — pressure-packed rivalries, fragile identities, and legacy-defining games that could flip narratives overnight.

Careers are on the line. Legacies are being written.

Welcome to the Playoff Pressure Cooker — let’s turn up the heat. 🍲🔥
