 And I watched a lot of throwdown round on an airplane and it was cutting in and out So I appreciate everybody keeping me updated on Twitter It was a doozy and there's only four teams left standing for championship weekend in the NFC The top two seeds advanced kind of as expected the Eagles host the Niners at 3 Eastern next Sunday Hopefully Marissa survived. I haven't heard from Marissa since the game. So I hope she's okay. Are you alive McBride? Let me know I want to hear from Eagles fans. How you feeling this morning? How how is that that hangover still like in full effect this morning? This will be San Francisco. By the way, how about this 18th appearance in a conference championship game all time? That's more than any other team in NFL history and then over on the AFC side At 6 30 Eastern there will be no neutral site as tiktok's football boyfriend Borough said better send those refunds love that the chiefs host the bangles Have you heard that before you a couple times three in fact at Arrowhead? That's happening for the second straight season It's also the fifth straight year. We got to give some love here to the chiefs fifth straight year that the AFC Championship is held in Kansas City. That is legend stuff That is dynasty stuff just an unreal accomplishment by Andy Reed and Company, okay, where do we start? We start with the game that was played last night, right? I don't know. It's my show and we decide to start where we want Don't sue me whoever made up the song I Might do this for the whole song Okay, fine. I won't but to use the parlance of Sinsey great Chris Collins worth Here's a team that shot up to snowy Buffalo Buffalo who I've never seen a team Universally chosen to win a Super Bowl in my lifetime in the beginning of the season in the off season and everything in between They shot up there and they didn't win They dominated this team from start to finish 27-10 and I could be listen and I have it in me Let's we all know it I could be petty Murphy up here and start pulling out receipt after receipt So CVS the ones but it's only an hour long show people I mean, could I dig in to a division rival all-time great saying The Bengals have zero chance to win this game a friend of the show I could I could do that. I could spend my time doing it or could I call out a prominent New York City Radio ding-dong who said the Bengals are a flawed team that they may not even win their division that the AFC is a Two-dog race it's the bills and the chiefs sure I Could do that believe time for that in the off-season move time for that later this week today We celebrate what was a near flawless performance today is for the Hayden Hursts and the Lou and Arumos and the Eli apples. I mean who saw that coming. So let's go and Doburo who turned in another Incredible playoff performance. Okay coming through in the clutch clutch once again, and as great as he was And as great as mix and was he looked unreal yesterday And we're all worried about the reshuffling of that offensive line Andrew. It's like see we don't need that We don't need us it was only possible because of the shuffling and the Chemistry or whatever went down with this O line down three starters They stepped up and completely controlled the line of scrimmage if you look at what happened here The Bengals rushed for a hundred seventy two yards on over five yards per carry and on 39 drop backs Joe Burrow was sacked just once and pressured just three times Jackson-Karman, Cordell Volsen, Ted Karris, Mack Sharping, Hakima Denigy. These guys were picked apart and questioned all week long. How are you gonna do it? I'm here buying flights for Andrew with arbitrary like such an idiot buying place You got to get there. You got to get there. What are they gonna do? How are they gonna protect Joe Burrow? So I want to make sure those names are heard and celebrated this morning They could not have played better those rushing numbers are insane. And we also got to give love to Coach Lou Waiting to coach Lou dance coach needs to get a tiktok all of that this defensive coordinator needs to be head coach somewhere I'm not gonna say that too loudly because I don't want him to leave Cincinnati But all last week I talked about what he's done as far as game planning against Patrick Mahomes He went 3-0 against the Chiefs of course he's a huge part of that and and He put together another masterpiece against another beast of a quarterback yesterday afternoon The Bengals defense held the bills to just ten points ten points people their lowest output of the entire season Josh Allen posted a 68 passer rating his second worst of the entire year and the Bengals running backs combined for just 37 yards on the ground coach Lou And whatever this ability is this knack for game planning against high-powered Versatile offenses is really stunning and it needs to be taken into account here and I'm glad I see that he's getting some love Me the chimes gives him love That's a huge platform But there need to be more people talking about him as one of the elite coordinators in this league who has the potential to take Over as a head coach with one of these vacancies We have to celebrate the fans as well. I was so sad. I couldn't be there. I'm here in New York City I was flying here during most of the game. I heard you I heard you on my banged up recycled headphones on my jet blue Flight that was going in and out. I heard you I heard the who days there were bar takeovers I was seeing that all over Twitter and Instagram They were the chance in the fourth quarter that doesn't happen there not in Buffalo That is a supreme fan base That's the one you're trying to take off the power rankings of the most loyal crazy nutty fan base And you went in there and I could hear you That's amazing and you get another loud one next you get the chiefs Three and no I don't care and no neutral site. We'll get into that all week of course today's for celebrating And I hope everybody there is and just remember better send those refunds and the most important thing is they Gotta play us Love it wholesome. We're loving it for the bangles. We got to talk about what happened with the Niners last night Most shows starting with this game With good reason I cannot wait to have Chris Carter on to talk about this the Niners Grinded out a win. That's no other way to put it here 1912 over the Cowboys and it was far from they're more dominant or prettier Performances of the season, but it really did seem like everybody on that team stepped up when the game was hanging in The balance in the second half to get the job done and we should start by giving some credit to the Niners past defense I talked a lot last week about how they've been bottom five in pretty much every category over the final month of the season How it might be an area Dallas could exploit. They have CD lamb. They can do it if Dallas played like they did a week before They were on point last night shut up K Adams. They intercepted Dak Prescott twice They held them in just 206 yards and one touchdown pass on the day and it was so impressive even more impressive considering that they usually You know the Niners past rush they're always on point They only had one sack and four quarterback hits on the day So what does that do but stress out and panic the secondary and put more on their plate than usual and they held up and Delivered and then there was George Kittle. I mean as if the Niners needed another iconic playoff catch What are we talking about here? He hauls this in acrobatic juggling beauty Here we go. Oh What what Unbelievable this sparks the Niners only touchdown drive of the day late in the third quarter And I don't see anyone dubbing at the catch part for yet But I think it has to be under consideration. This was Absolutely ridiculous and changed the game. So congrats to Kittle who led the way for the Niners 95 yards rare form With all this antics as well What's up or whatever they were doing with their tongues out and just all of the excitement he was talking to the sky cam all of that But even in the excitement of that win and another nine or ship to the NFC title game There were questions about how conservatively the Niners played offensively something I pointed out last week I was worried about Shanahan stick to your guns. They scored fewer than 20 for the first time since Brock Purdy took over Shanahan's I can't say this for a fact. He didn't say it this way in his post game either To me seemed a little reluctant to put the game Completely in the hands of this quarterback early on Greg Olson mentioned it during the broadcasts. I Did you guys have questions about it watching it unfold? Let me know add up an atom show And Kyle what of course was asked about it right out the gates in his press conference. Let's take a listen We know how good their defense was to and we felt we really had to run the ball just to negate their pass rush because how special the pass rush they have and For us to end up getting over 30 carries when you're only averaging like three. I think we had three five Just shows how good the team was doing Okay, that's a reasonable explanation for sure I know it's a chess match with his former boss Dan Quinn on the other side. I Imagine You know a guy who knows what he likes to do offensively better than anyone I would say this if the Niners are going to get the job done and Bring that Lombardi back to the Bay They're going to have to lean on Brock a little bit more than they did yesterday in Philly the way Jalen looks the way that whole team Looks that's all I'll say but congrats to the Niners for taking on the Cowboys I'm gonna ask Chris Carter about the Cowboys very shortly. So don't go anywhere and we and stay tuned for that But you know we got to talk about this Eagle scene with the going to face, right? They're going to host the NFC title game against the Niners After taking down the Giants 38 to 7 on Saturday night So there was concern about how healthy Jalen was going to look was he going to look a hundred percent? He even admitted leading up to the game his shoulder wasn't totally there I think the issue was pretty much put to bed people with how he looked he came out the gates hot He carved up the Giants for three total touchdowns when it's as efficient as can be this is as good as the Eagles Offenses looked all year and Nick Siriani didn't hold back when talking about his quarterbacks impact after the game To have him out to have him out there is like I know this is high praise But to have him out there is like having now I shouldn't even go there But like his having like Michael Jordan out there like he's your leader. He's your leader. He's your guy He's you like like that's I hopefully that's the biggest respect I can pay to him Comparing to his ability to being on the field to a Michael Jordan type I'm I recall the conversation I had with TJ Edwards last week about his coach And I watched his coach on NFL films talk about Bill Belichick and his demeanor and him being so stoic on the sideline and Nick Siriani He's like I want to be that nobody wants you to be that you were the star in this game And it was amazing and he's calling a Michael Jordan and while Hertz impact was undeniable I don't want to lose sight either of what this offensive line did Lane Johnson another guy banged up returns to the lineup and the Eagles Literated the Giants up front the birds averaged over six yards per carry on the ground. Do you understand they punched in three touchdowns? They rushed for 268 on the night and that's the most they put up on the ground in playoff game since the 1949 NFL Championship game 1949 I feel like we have this debate every year. Oh, do you really want the bi-week? I don't know momentum. Do you really want to rest guys? Don't you think it'll make them rusty and whatever like can we table that can that be not a thing anymore? Because the one seed clearly critical for the Eagles to give Hertz the extra week to get ready and to get Lane Johnson back Those two things mattered so much and at this stage of the season Everybody's banged up. So again extra week has become more vital than ever and after a bunch of late season injuries people That this sent this team into a bit of a lull. There was concern Philly is flying as high as they have all year heading into this NFC title game And it is going to be a heavyweight battle. All right, which game should we get you next? Let's go Casey Casey and their fans got the scare of a lifetime Patrick Mahomes of course taken out of the game in the second quarter He didn't want to leave he was really demonstrative and very adamant about it And it turns out he had a high ankle sprain right Chad Henney Hen you think it happened He held on the fort for 13 snaps under center so much credit to Andy read adjusting as he did and Mahomes returned At halftime it comes out and leads Casey to a drama drama dramatic win And a chance for this rematch against the Bengals Patrick clearly not right when he came back to start the second half But it was one of those Mahomes tough gutsy performances anybody that knows Mahomes was treating about it He's tough. He wants to play And it was capped by what you just saw this I think what I think we just saw actually didn't see at the We just took show their touch down to mark was about the scaling was at it There we go. Let's take another look at this. I mean, this is gutsy. Are you kidding me? This is a way to add to a Remarkable legacy that he's already carved out in Kansas City and he deserves all the credit for this For what he was able to do in that game essentially on one leg I have to make sure Andy read Eric be enemy and Chad Henney get some credit as well here this morning I'm sure Kansas City Chiefs fans feel the same way Mahomes forced leave the game in second quarter Henney got the hand of the ball his own to our line backed up in his own end zone and this is how the chiefs Responded they ripped off look at this 12 plays Okay, it's a 12 play 98 yard drive. Okay over six minutes including six first down pickups What capped by a Henney touchdown pass to who else Travis Kelsey who somehow was if that's what we have to ask Chris Carter, are you kidding me? How do you go on cover of the entire game? It was so stupid the play calling and the adjustments on the fly from read from the enemy Brilliant and credit to Henney because you can't I mean it's not all to read He executed that in the craziest conditions off the bench cold to get it done and Mahomes agrees Big throws versus some pressure looks I mean they brought some heat whenever he came in the game And he made some big throws and was able to get us into the end zone And that was a big point in the game because it was able to that gave me the ability to kind of come back And rest and wait till halftime until we kind of retaped into everything we could to give me ready to go in the second half Levity said that you cannot ask for more out of her backup quarterback or from Travis Kelsey who caught four passes from Henney on that drive Including the touchdown he had two scores just under a hundred yards hauling in 14 grabs That is a record he set the NFL playoff record for catches by a tight end in the world of Rob Gronkowski played in basically every game a playoff situation for years and years and years all that being said You can't you can't not be concerned about the injury going forward High ankle sprain equals no bueno. It costs players multiple weeks usually I'm not a doctor, but even hearing that I know that he wasn't he didn't leave on a crutch or had nothing going on He wore the same shoes that he wore into the thing. That's all fine And that's you know, what is what is Mac if you call it vitamin T vitamin Toradol? I've had Toradol. It's great. It works. I'm not an NFL player, but I assume it wears off in a couple of hours I think the fact The thing that sucks the most is that it's on his plant leg, right? We all saw how he could barely push off a bit on Saturday So he said and of course he wants to play through it and he's played in every freakin AFC Championship game since being a starter in the national football league think about that But with when it's on that leg You gotta think it's gonna lose a bit of the deep ball action and reduce his mobility a little bit And that was probably gonna affect how the Chiefs were on their offense Luckily, they have and you read you can probably figure it out But I'm interested to see what Chris Carter thinks and how they can adjust or if it's as major of an issue For next Sunday. So yes, we have you know enough of me here We got one of the best to ever do it one of the best wide receivers in NFL history joining us We are honored to be graced with the presence of Hall of Famer Chris Carter, man We got to talk about chase and burrow next
