    Special Delivery | Canty Becomes a Dad + Wild Card Picks & Ravens Heartbreak
    Jan 9 2026

    Episode 18 of In My Defense is titled “Special Delivery” — because the biggest win of the week didn’t happen on the field… it happened at home.


    Que opens with the big announcement: Canty and Mel welcomed Baby Canty, and Que gives Canty real fatherhood talk — the job you can’t get fired from, the pressure you won’t get praised for, and the consistency that makes the difference.


    Then it’s straight into 99 Problems, breaking down Wild Card Weekend:

    • Rams vs Panthers — Can Stafford avoid the turnovers, or does Bryce Young run it back?
    • Packers vs Bears — offense vs takeaway defense, and why Jordan Love has to be elite
    • Bills vs Jaguars — legacy game for Josh Allen with “none of the kings” in the way
    • 49ers vs Eagles — attrition football, trenches decide everything
    • Chargers vs Patriots — Herbert vs Drake May, and the “sacks watch” matchup
    • Steelers vs Texans — why Houston’s defense is built for this moment


    They close with Wins & Losses, including Que’s loss for the week (Ravens heartbreak) and the biggest win of all: Canty becoming a father.
