'''Norse Code Episode 262''' was a preview episode featuring guest Danny Kelly from The Ringer.

== Overview ==
This episode featured a preview discussion with The Ringer's Danny Kelly, followed by an extensive mailbag segment covering topics including the Vikings' upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Seattle Seahawks, defensive concerns about mobile quarterbacks, and various team performance questions.

== Segments ==
; Preview : Discussion with Danny Kelly from The Ringer
; Mailbag : Extended listener questions covering Seahawks matchup, defensive strategies, and team performance

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Alex K - Vikings defense historically struggles against running QBs. If they don't spy Wilson, who needs to step up to contain Russell? 
* Kyle Slaybee - Do you see Jayron Kearse being used as a QB spy like he did in Chicago?
* Joe Schneider - Waynes and Kendricks didn't practice today. Between the two which one would hurt the team's chances more if they couldn't play Monday?
* Bob Garman - Would the Vikings have a better record if they'd retained Teddy as opposed to signing Cousins?
* Zach Beeman - In their last 6 MNF games, the Vikings are 1-5 & Cousins is 0-6...should I expect something different? What does Minnesota & Kirk need to do to get that desperate Win?
* Kyle Slaybee - If you had a guarantee that both teams make the playoffs, who are you rooting for Arif? Also, after Dusty left the pod, if @bigmono had gone to Twitter saying "we need to find a cohost who will #DemandExcellence of Arif" would he have been fired?
* Kenneth Allen - How much does losing to the Seahawks affect the Vikings' chances of nabbing the sixth seed? How are the Seahawks going to run against Linval Joseph? How much would The Athletic have to pay @ArifHasanNFL to switch to covering Seahawks games?
* Don From Ohio - With Philly playing better and we now know the Packers were never a SB contender, is it fair to say the Vikings have been the most disappointing team in the NFC this year? What has been Arif's favorite Keto recipe he has made so far? Congratulations to Arif on his Colgate Raiders making it to the FCS playoff quarterfinal - if Colgate beats NDSU will Arif buy Colgate products only for life and send @eric_j_thompson a Christmas gift basket?

== Guests ==
Danny Kelly from The Ringer appeared for the preview segment.

== Key Bits & Lore ==
* Don from Ohio continues his multi-question tradition with references to Arif's Colgate fandom and keto diet
* Reference to former co-host Dusty and the #DemandExcellence hashtag
* Discussion of the Vikings' poor Monday Night Football record under Kirk Cousins
