'''Norse Code Episode 446: That Mariota Almost Interception''' aired in November 2022.

== Overview ==
This episode features a preview of the Vikings' upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with guest Victoria from Twitter providing analysis. The hosts also address a comprehensive mailbag covering topics from player comparisons to mystical theories about Kevin O'Connell's coaching abilities.

== Segments ==
; Opening : Patreon updates and merchandise announcements
; Bills Preview : Discussion with Victoria from Twitter about the upcoming Vikings-Bills game
; Mailbag : Extensive listener questions covering game analysis, player evaluations, and humorous tangents

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Ryan - Should we be more worried about a 75% Josh Allen or a Miracle revenge team up? What progress should we expect for TJ's second game in Purple? Was the play book limited given the decision to give him 90% snaps?
* Kenneth Allen - Seems like the best week to ask: who do you think is the better WR, Diggs or Jefferson?
* Jack - Was Evans' Commies game a one off? Or does he have a legitimate chance of keeping up with Diggs (athletically, are Terry and Diggs similar?)?
* Skol and fish - After each game, the staff says "we got the win but still have things to clean up" or something similar. The D Line seems improved, are you seeing meaningful improvements week to week in other units?
* Chad - What is the over under on touchdowns scored in Vikings/Bills this weekend by people named Cook? What about by people with 5 letters or less in their name?
* Andrew - How does Aaron Roger's contract play out if hypothetically he retires at the end of the year. Did that contract he signed with GB really put them in a bad spot for a while, or did they properly mitigate the risk of that happening? Side note: My father and I have an ongoing deal that the moment we learn that Rogers is no longer a Packer you must find the nearest beer and shotgun it immediately.
* Anonymous - Seeing this narrative of '1 score games' for the Vikings seems disingenuous. Last year more of the games felt very 50-50. This year the '1 score games' are a lot less 50-50 in the last few minutes of play. Is there some merit to this frustration or am I just hanging out in Arif's Confirmation Bias corner?
* Tim Rizzo - If you had to ward off Blu of Earth's dark magik, what item would you carry at all times to ensure your safety? Theory about Kevin O'Connell as a blood elf wielding blood magic.
* Benjamin - As Minnesota's foremost occultist, does Arif feel the celestial success is sustainable? Or should fans brace themselves for a regression to the moon?
* Damian Barrett - In light of the Colts head coach appointment, what tangentially relevant yet wildly inappropriate job could you be appointed to?
* Kevin - My wife's family has a nontraditional Thanksgiving making Ramen. What should we bring for the pot and sharkcoochie board?
* Don from Ohio - What is the designated category that allows Arif to have a verified blue check mark on Twitter?
* Rorshach Cousins - Will Twitter dying affect your readership/listenership?
* Vikings Burner Account - You have 11 Tom Brady's and 11 actual goats competing in different tasks - who's more likely to accomplish their job?
