'''Norse Code Episode 456''' was a game review episode covering the Minnesota Vikings' historic comeback victory.

== Overview ==
The episode reviewed the Vikings' record-breaking comeback victory, covering both halves of the game and featuring an extensive mailbag discussing various aspects of the performance, coaching decisions, and playoff implications.

== Segments ==
; Opening : Episode introduction
; First Half Review : Analysis of the Vikings' poor first half performance
; Second Half Review : Discussion of the historic comeback
; Mailbag : Extensive listener questions covering the game and season

== Mailbag Questions ==
* Bob - How does one reconcile the PFF grade on Cousins and his play? Did you see his game justifying a bottom 5 grade?
* Bill Bottkee - During the comeback, the Vikings defense blitzed more and played man coverage, limiting the Colts to a field goal in the second half. Is this a recipe for success, or do we owe everything to Duke Shelley?
* Jake Tesmar - For Case Cookus comeback conspiracy corner, what would it take to sign Case Cookus as a "team believer" after he single handedly willed the Vikings to victory?
* Luke Braun's Dad - Did KJ move into the WR2 slot this game?
* Ingram's Left Foot - For the Norse Code bit corner, at what point do you delineate funny and just sad? What's your take on the two early 4th and 1 gambles?
* OneMeanHombre - For James' FB jet sweep corner why?
* Kevin - When does fatigue become an issue for the Vikings? What about load management for playoffs?
* Kenneth Allen - Will NFL fans remember this more as a Colts collapse or Vikings comeback?
* Tommy Gunn - For Arif's "Playoffs? Playoffs!?" Corner, could the Eagles be this year's Titans despite their record?
* Bryan Jellerson - Which are you willing to believe: momentum is real, magic is real, or simulation theory?
* Samuel - Has there ever been a greater sign from the heavens than your coach blowing a 33 point lead on Saturday?
* DJ Durham - What gift should the NFL give Chandon Sullivan for the refs robbing him of 2 touchdowns?
* Basecampk9 - How many downloads does the show get in Argentina and how can we pump those numbers up?
* Lee - For "Stop Making Sense" corner: How did Cousins become such a "Psycho Killer" in the 2nd half?
* JoeyGabbaGool - Does the Eagles' success exonerate Howie Roseman from not drafting Justin Jefferson?
* Don from Ohio - Why are the refs getting grief? Isn't it possible they were looking out for our best interest?
* Damian Barrett - Given Don from Ohio's Hell League rule breaches, what would be suitable punishment?
* Rmensen - What Patreon level is required for James to use commissioner powers to change Hell League scoring?
* WattsUpDog - Is Frank Reich more despondent about his former team or his 30-year record being broken?
* Logan - Like Don, I bought my pregnant wife a Peloton on your advice. She's upset. What can I do?
