Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Welcome inside, everybody.
We are presented by Ultrapper Beef Jerky live in Los
Angeles and New York. It's Thursday, January sixteenth. I'm Jamie
ertel Akbar Badjabia, Milla, Peter Stragger, Kyle Brandt on the
show today. Of course it's your original.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Flour or something like that.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We are looking ahead squarely to the division around. Many
people dub this their favorite weekend of football.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I myself find it very stressful.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I don't like the fact that our games and our
teams are dwindling down. We have less to watch, usually
on Thursdays, I'm looking forward to a game tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
This is starting to I'm starting to panic the fact
that we have less less football.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah, you should feel that way, because is starting to
narrow down, just like you said, And that's where all
the intensity and the excitement about football and who's going
because we know what's next after the divisional Now we
got the championship. Yeah, I mean that's what football is about.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Cut the fat, let's go good teams only Pittsburgh, get
out of here. In Minnesota, get out of here. See
you next year.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
We love you. We'll mischa.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Let's go with the real quality teams. Bring in the
one seeds, bring them in, let's see what.
Speaker 8 (01:29):
They got, Peter, I mean, we suffered through enough Browns, Bengals, Jaguars,
and if I'm being honest, we suffered through a wild
card round that I already forgot. So let's get to
the divisional round where it's the best of the best
and the football is to be played.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Seven games left to look forward to in twenty twenty five.
To put the bow on twenty twenty four, let's look
ahead to this weekend massive matchup in the af seed
between the Bills and the Ravens. These two teams previously
met last met in the playoffs during the twenty twenty
AFC Divisional round, with Josh Allen and the Bills coming
out on top seventeen to three. Lamar Jackson struggled that
(02:05):
day with just one hundred and ninety six total yards.
This week, he was asked to look back at that game.
Speaker 8 (02:12):
You obviously beat these guys earlier this year, but and
it's been a few years since you played them in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
But does that last playoff game matter to you?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (02:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Yeah, I just saw it, like I just I just
hear an eclip. We always like to post like they
like to throw that out their interception return.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
Yeah we yeah, yeah, yeah, That's all I'm gonna say
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Due go.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You gotta stand there and look at the mistake that
you made. That's terrible. I hate that memory for Lamar
Jackson and he wants to erase it this weekend. Peter,
I'll start with you, who or what will ultimately decide
this game between the Ravens and the Bills this weekend
in Buffalo.
Speaker 8 (02:47):
I can't imagine a more dramatic build up for a
game that is worthy of the hype.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And I think it's going to be the quarterbacks, I
really do. And who's going to be the better quarterback?
Speaker 8 (02:58):
These have been the best two quarterbacks we have seen
all season long, and now we're asking.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
For one of them to put the deafening blow to
the other. Look at this.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
This is the seventh postseason matchup we will have since
nineteen sixty where you have the number one and number
two vote getters in MVP squaring off at a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We get it into the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
Not the championship, brown, not the super Bowl, And by far,
this will be the closest vote. A lot of those
votes were like forty nine votes with the Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
One went to Jalen Hurts, but they were one verse two.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
This one is going to be a very close MVP
vote and we don't know who's gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So you have that in itself. You add in the
layer of.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
The fact that both of these quarterbacks have great frustrations
in playoff history, and then you add in what they've
done coming into this thing. Fact that these two guys
have had these seasons, these incredible seasons, and only one
of them can advance tells me that the best quarterback
is going to be the one that plays in the
(03:59):
next round. Jackson has won three or four versus all time. Okay,
so you're like, all right, well, Lamar's good. But the
only time they played a playoff game, Josh Allen's team
absolutely took care of business against Lamar. So what matters
more the three regular season wins and the one that
happened earlier this season, or the fact they went to Buffalo,
(04:20):
and Buffalo handled their business during that COVID season in
front of very few fans, but sent Baltimore packing h
very simple here, which quarterback is going to be better?
We haven't been able to declare that through nineteen weeks
of football. We should know after this one, because I
think we're gonna be asking for the very best from
the two very best quarterbacks all season long. And I
(04:42):
think the one who takes care of business is going
to be the one who's worthy of saying I was
the better dude this season.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
I'm so excited for this game.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I'm not jaded, I'm not rolling my eyes, I'm not calloused.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I've been done this.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
I am so excited for this game, more so than
you can imagine. You're not gonna believe what I did
last night. You're gonna be so proud of me. So
I'm in a show hole right now, you know, Like
I don't have a show that i'm watching.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'm trying.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I'm dating Deck a little bit because I never watched Dex.
I'm trying it, but my wife's then it last night,
Brooks As I'm going to bed early.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
It's almost nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
I s all right, I'm not making this up. I
sat there on my phone on the couch and I
pulled up my NFL app with my NFL Plus and
all that, and I watched Bill's Ravens from earlier this year.
I watched the fat the sped up version of it.
You can watch it in like an hour. I watched
the whole.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Game Sday night to me up Sunday night. So you
know what we're gonna do. Right now, let's look at
that game.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Let's look at these two teams.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Week four. This is way back when we couldn't believe the.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Jets just lost at home to the Broncos, Like, what's
going on? But these two guys went and after an
early punt from Buffalo, this is the first play for Baltimore.
First play from Scrimsey's gone. That's his first carry the night.
It's their first snap of the night. Tomorrow, haml When
you can try as hard as you want, you're not
catching them.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Derrick Henry gone.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
It was.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Remember this is in Baltimore. At the time, Baltimore was
kind of struggling. They had just barely beaten Dallas. They
lost to the Raiders. The Bills were cruising three and oh,
so it's like Baltimore needed this win and Derek Henry
did everything. I'm gonna talk about a couple of takeaways
when we're through the highlight. Bill's had a lot of
defensive problems because we're getting to what's gonna matter in
this game. This guy's definitely gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Guy Justice Hill had a game.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I'm gonna I have Justice Hill takes Momentarily, he was everywhere.
The Bills defense was totally lost, and in the third
quarter it got even weirder. So twenty one to three,
the Bills, who looked amazing through a month are getting crushed.
This is a full on superhero play by Alan with
three ravens.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
In his face. He finds shakier. He's not gonna score.
But it was one of the.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Coolest plays of the year for Buffalo. But it was
it was an anomaly, and this was like a freak play.
It wasn't an offense. It was their best play of
the night and it wasn't nearly enough. I'm also gonna
show your worst play then ed it was right here.
It's a trick play to allan which is totally destroyed.
There's a fumble, he gets destroyed.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Just awful, awful, awful, awful.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Play and I'm going against that little bit. They never
recovered from it. You're gonna see one more touchdown, I
think at the end as Alan took a massive hit.
They had to do this because it was nothing else
was working. Lamar is gonna run one in and it's
a complete blowout. It's over, guys. Josh Allen was taken
out of this game. We had Mitch Trubisky in this game.
Crazy thing is the next week the Bills also lost
(07:17):
to Houston. They are all best friends and they love
it and everything. Here are my takeaways for sitting in
my couch in January now watching this game. First of all,
we don't on Good Morning Football, do like, what is
your X factor? If we did, it's Justice Hill for
the Ravens. I know it's Derek Henry and Lamar. He
was so good in that game. In the passing game,
(07:37):
he kept catching passes. Justice Hill kill them. Justice Hill
scored last week against Pittsburgh. He's gonna be part of
this defense. He's gonna be part of this offense. Bill's
really missing Terrell Bernard and Matt Mlano in this game.
Their defense was lost. They had backups playing linebacker. Their
starters this week are gonna have a really hard time
stopping these guys. The backups had zero chance whatsoever. After
the game, Josh Allen says.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
They whooped our butt. Not everything was bad.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I don't want us coming into out of this game
thinking we're the worst. I'm glad it happened early in
this season so we can correct things.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Months later we go again.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
The Bills are healthier, they already got the terrible game
out of their system.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Ravens are ready to rock too.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
My biggest takeaway was the Bills had no chance on
defense in that game. They got some guys back, and
I'm gonna say this one more time, Justice Hill will
have a huge role in this game. Derek Henry, Derek Aaren,
dereck Y watch out.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
For the little guy.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's a great rewatch. You should treat yourself between now
in the game. All of us here, all of us watching,
it's really fun. Stop doing the Prestige TV watch Prestige football.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
You're right, that game was really fun.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I watched it too, and actually it was thirty eight minutes,
so you can get it in thirty eight minutes. You
can watch the condensed version, go back and enjoy it.
And Justice popped up like in a big way. It
was just passing game. He had eighty six yards in
the game. They just had to match up. It was hard.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It was very, very.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Frustrating for that defense. But to me, I think the
other thing that you got to look at is the
Bills defense, and you touched on that Kyle with that defense,
that defense looked lacklustered, couldn't stop.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
The run game.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
They ran all over the Ravens ran all over the Bills.
But something I saw in the Wildcard game and it
really got me nervous for the Buffalo Bills is the
efficiency in which the Ravens run the read option. And
they absolutely destroyed the Steelers. And you could take a
look here TJ. Watt and this Reid option. They're typically
(09:26):
like channeling in on that defensive end and how they
play it, and in this game you kept seeing TJ.
Watt and the end player crashed down in on the
dive play. And this is going to be a literal
death for any defense if you're lined up and you've
got that running back over the three technique for the defense.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Watt should be going for the uphill shoulder of Lamar
Jackson to force him to give the dive on the inside.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's where all your help is. Look at this again.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Look, Lamar Jackson was just having so much fun, like okay,
come on, and he does the best at holding it
at the mets point a little longer than most quarterbacks
who run the read option, and that's how he's able
to capture that TJ. Watt crash down on the dove.
Look at all the help and support you have on
the inside. No, take the upfield because when you're at distance,
Lamar Jackson will run all over because he's got the
(10:13):
advantage because he's got the speed.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
He's fast. And then in this game that we just watch.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Here, you can watch on the condensed version right there
on NFL plus shameless plug right there.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
But watch right there, Dwayne Smooth.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
He tries to shuffle his way and that doesn't work.
So the point here is, if I'm the defensive coach here,
I'm saying, get to the upfield shoulder, because you forced
Lamar Jackson to hand it over to Derrick Henry. That
way you have all that help on the inside. You
can see right there. Dorian Williams right that he could
flow over the top.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
As well or be responsible.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
For the dog, but it is a run run heavy
when you got Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson running that
read option.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
All right, Kyle, if you don't do X factors, but
you happen to do it for this game, you're saying
it would be justin Justice Hill. Yes, if it wasn't
on your Bengo car, but you did Bingo cars, how
many times would you hit the square?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
MVP conversation?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
What landing spots for free agents are playing in this game?
Whose birthday is next Friday?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And also, what is your bold take from this game
this weekend?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Listen, the MVP thing is going to be everywhere.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
It's going to I also feel like I wish they
could wait to keep the voting until after this game.
This feels like they do these WWE ladder matches where
there's a suitcase hanging and you have to climb up
the ladder and get it. It feels like one of
those If you go up and get the suitcase, you're
the MVP if you win this game. But the problem is,
and honestly, like I'm supposed to be pumping up the
divisional round.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
This is not the title game. This is not the
super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
The winner of this game is going to be in
some sort of crown and carry it off the field
and then maybe losenes to Mahomes the next week by
two touchdowns. Mahomes is still waiting, He's still there. It
feels like it's a title game, Peter, but it's not.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
And I think that's why this is such a unique game.
It's I said, it's one in two in the MVP.
We know that, and yet they're only a consolation because
you have to go on again, and you got to
go on the road to Kansas City. And we're not
dismissing CJ. Stroud in the Texans. Maybe they pull off
an opsite the kind of ur but most likely this
(12:11):
is for just Mono Imano, same draft class. We've had history.
That guy's up there, Burrow's over there. But you and
I have business too, And I feel like for Lamar
and Josh Allen, this is really cool because they're a
big part of this generation of quarterbacks as well, and
I don't want to see them get lost in this
Mahomes era.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Oh it's hard not to get lost.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
In it. But this is the separated That's why it's
so big. That's why it feels like that that match,
the cage match. Somebody's got to walk out out of
this cage match. That's what it feels like. You remember
the old school fixed steel, the cage match. That's what
this is exactly what. And you got the number two
the number three offense going against each other.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
It's fun. I can't wait for this divisional realm.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But when I say this name, let's say a couple
of eight running backs, shall we sign for throwdown Thursday,
we're talking free agent running backs and not the kind that, oh,
they're up and available again in March. No, these are
free agent running backs that signed with teams last year
that now find themselves.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Playing the divisional round.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
By those two important names, the free agents that were
available last March, I'm talking Derrick Henry in Saquon Barkley.
Of course, Derek Henry signed a two year deal in
Baltimore last March. Saquon Barkley a three year deal to
the Eagles in March as well. How about pressure on
these two making a name for themselves proving their worth
again in the divisional round in January, Saquon Barkley, Derek Henry, Peter.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who has more pressure on them this weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm going with Derrick Henry.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
I think this game has looked to be eleven degrees
in Buffalo on Sunday night. It's gonna be cold, it's
gonna be wicked, and this is where Derrick Henry shines.
This is what his game has always been, second half,
putting me to sleep and being able to do in
all the conditions. And I don't think Lamar is going
to be able to light it up through the air
in these conditions. So I'm going to say Derick Henry
(13:56):
based on what he was brought in to do.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Last year, they went to the AFC.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Championship game and they had one of the best running
attacks in football, and they completely abandoned the run. And
the combination of Justice Hill and Gus Edwards and JK.
Dobbins simply was not enough. So they went and they
spent big money on a thirty year old running back.
A lot of people gave the side eye to this
is why we brought you. We love what you did
(14:22):
for us this season, but gosh, if we get eighteen
carries for forty three yards.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They're not winning this game.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
If we get twenty five carries for one hundred and
sixty three yards and two touchdowns, you better believe Baltimore
is moving on to the AFC Championship Round. I think
Derrick Henry. This is a Ravens team that has knocked
on the door so many times.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They brought in their Mariano Rivera. They brought in their closer,
Sam Man. Now it's time to close.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
I actually think of Saquon just because I think there's
more pressure on the Eagles than there are on the Ravens.
Baltimore loses this game in Buffalo, it's a little bit
more palatable. You're on the road, Josh Allen goes nuts
and he beats you, and Dereck Henry is a running back.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
It really kind of goes more towards Lamar.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
The Eagles lose at home to the guys from LA
who come into the Elements and beat them and wrap
up Saquon. I just think there's just an explosion. I
said this earlier this week. Judging by the Philadelphia media,
you would have thought they lost in the wild Card
round last week based on how negative it is, and
we have injuries here and the quarterback's not good. I
also I'm wondering if maybe the quarterback's not good, so
(15:27):
that's more pressure on Saquon and he's not playing his
best ball. I do trust Jalen Hurts more than most
people do, but this is a Saquon game.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Added the context.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
If we took away the Dickerson record for games like this,
if you have a thirty seven yards on fifteen carries
in this game, it was completely for Nott. You should
have broken the record. I think Saquon has to be
the superstar at home. I think there's a lot of
pressure on him, and I think it's just a little
bit more than there is on Dereck Henry.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, for all those same reasons. I agree with you, Kyle,
that falls on Saquon Barkley. I mean, what a waste
would that be to run, have your best season statistically
ever and then to go out in the Divisional round
against the Rams, who you absolutely crushed in that game.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
We all remember it in that game.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
And Saquon Barkley, the pressure is that he is the offense.
He came into this offense and he changed it. And
I think we've seen that. We've seen how flat this
offense when we've seen the ups and the downs, and
a lot of that is tied into his ability to
be able to gash the opposing defense. So Satquon Barkley
is carrying so much for this franchise. He's put them
in an elite level. This is not the same team
(16:32):
to me in my opinion, without Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
So yeah, I think it falls on him.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
He's got to get to He's got to get to
the super Bowl or you're just gonna sit there and go,
why did we give him the ball three hundred and
forty five times during the season, get into two thousand
and five yards and not make it to the super
Bowl like it has to happen for him.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
The home in the way aspect of this argument is
really important because to Peter's point, the fact that the
Ravens have to go to Buffalo is just going to
be really, really tough for that offense to do. But
if you have Derek Henry, you should be just fine.
Whereas Saequon gets to host. Let's talk about a team
that is.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Not playing right now.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
In January, yesterday, actor and comedian Dennis Leary was on
GMFB to talk about the Patriots. He's a New England
native and he's a massive Boston sports fan, and he
was actually lecturing us on how he is satisfied with
the years of success the team had, and when he
was talking about it, he weed them used the term
(17:25):
we when talking about the team.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Let's sake, listen, now.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
We're five years away from doing anything. I mean maybe
Rabel will saw it, but I doubt it.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I mean, we need a complete rebuild, so we may
have a quarterback who knows right and.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who cares.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
All right.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It brings up a classic faux pas that we must discuss.
Which is the bigger faux pas? If you are a
fan using the term we, like we're five years away
from a Super Bowl, or wearing a jersey with your
name on it, Peter, despite not playing for the team.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I appreciate the WII I do. It means that you
are there through thick and thin.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
And there are so many Jets and Giants fans that
I encounter every day, and it's never the Jets are
really screwed.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's we're screwed.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
And it's never the Giants won four super bowls' We
won four super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So I'm okay with the Wei. The jersey with your
name on it as.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
An adult is one I've got to scratch my head about.
There are fifty three players on the roster. There's so
many unique ways that you can can show that you're
a true fan putting your own name on the jersey
unless you're a five year old kid who's just getting
into the sport or you were gifted this from your grandma.
I don't understand any person who actually likes football who.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Would put their own name on their team's jersey.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I'd like to fight you on this, Peter, but I
mean I can't. I find the Wii endearing. It's really authentic.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
You feel like you're part of it, and you think mentally,
like really committed to this team, on and on.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Let me tell you a quick anecdote.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
In the early nineties, one of my best friends had
a birthday party and he was turning I think it
was probably twelve years old, and we were at a
bowling alley and named the Bowling Alley. I think it
was in he was in Wakanda, maybe in Illinois. It
was like Wakanda Lanes, Okay, so I think that's where
it was. And so after you bowl and everything. You
go over with the pizza and the cake, and there's
(19:26):
some presents, and this friend's dad gave him this present
in a box. Now at the time, in the nineties
in Chicago, obviously it's prime Michael Jordan era. But I
really think the second coolest athlete in Chicago, and I
think when Jordan stepped away kind of became the coolest,
was Frank Thomas. He was on the White Sox, this
massive first base when we played football in college.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
You know, the deal just really really cool.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
And I had a Frank Thomas poster and he was
awesome and he made the Sox really cool even if
you were like a Cubs fan.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
So my buddy opened the.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Box and he pulls out this black white Sox number
thirty five jersey and we all.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Go, oh, it's amazing that he takes it.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
And he turns it around and it had his last
name on the name play. It did not say Thomas,
and I'm not even gonna say his last name now
because it's an identifiable last name.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
And we all were like, oh, yeah, let's.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Go bowl another game, Let's go play some mayor hockey.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
It took all the air out of the room.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
It's there's something that is I hate this word because
it's so ubiquitous online and it's so cringe.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Before cringe was cringe.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
And it's like, I'm not only a fan of a team,
like I'm kind of in my mind I'm a member
of the team.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
No you're not.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It makes me think of like corny radio hosts going
to throw the first pitch at their local game and
they got the name on the back and like, I'm
I consider myself among you. It's just you look at
it and you're like, why would you ruin such an
incredible jersey with your own last name? It's that in
a long shot, the wee thing if that bothers you
find the last name is it's deplorable.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You guys are something else. You guys are missing it.
You're absolutely missing opera, tunity to live a dream that
will never happen.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
And this is it.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
This is what you work hard for to be able
to take your hard earned money and to be able
to put in first off from jerseys. They cost, They
cost a lot of money. If I'm getting a jersey,
I'm putting it and I was that guy, you know,
especially because you guys know I'm a massive Los Angeles
Lakers fan, and I still remember being able to get
my very first jersey. I know, don't judge me, nobody's
(21:33):
better than Magic Johnson, but I say, come on, man,
it's my dream to be able to play for the Lakers.
I'm putting Baja Bia Milla and I did it, and
I wish I still had a picture. I did Baja
Biamella the way they did Michel Jabarbi nice. It did
the Night Book and I had the long and I
wanted my name to have that same roundedness. I try
to do it on my NFL jersey. They say, no,
we can't do that, it's not work. But that is
(21:56):
it right there. So as a fan, there is no
faux Paul by Warner. You wear your last name on
that jersey, proud, because you know what, if you're a
season ticket holder and your fan, you deserve the right
to have your name on that.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Come on, I know they're not gonna get no Black
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Come on.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I love that curvature. That is the class. You have
the perfect name for it. Okay, here's my anecdote about this.
So I was raised. This is my mom she's from Philadelphia.
She's five feet tall. She can be a little scary
at time. I love you, mom. She did not allow
me to own jerseys with athletes names on the back.
She just thought, we will not idolize people in this house.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
You can love the sport.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I would have had them all, Kevin Garnett, Randy Moss,
Chris car I would have had them all.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It was awesome. She was just like, no, you're not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
So I was never allowed to have a jersey with
anyone's last name on the back. So I was literally
taught that this is unacceptable. So I was invited to
sound the Galler hornet November and I'm thinking, Peter and
I text about this, what am I gonna wear? Like
this is such a moment on NBC And I'm like,
what if I reach out to Christian use check and
I'm like, should get like a.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Fire outfit for this?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
And the Vikings tell me we got you a jersey
with your name on it.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Which number do you want?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And I was like, oh, I guess my high school
basketball number four is like I had, I wore it
and it's an awesome jersey.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Look at that hurd all Okay, I embraced it, I
wore it. But now it's gonna come full circle.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Now I have this rt All.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Jersey and I feel like I should still send it
to Kristen use Chick to makers turn it into like
these pants, because she's like, that's literally what she has
turned her business into is taking people's jersey. Because that
is the only time, is in front of sixty thousand
people in Minnesota that I will wear a jersey with
my name on it from my hometown team. I want
christian Uschick to turn them into some pants or like
(23:37):
a skirt or something, and then I would wear it. Sorry, mom,
it's come full It's come full circle. I do own
a jersey with my name on it, but as the
only time I will wear it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I promise you should turn I have a distinction here.
I got a distinction here, Jamie. You were gifted that
by the team.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
That's true.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
That's a lot different than going to the pro.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Shop and type it in your own life. You're giving it, Okay,
I think you're good.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
It reminds me you go to six Flags and you
can make yourself on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Like.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
It's like you're not really on the cover of that side.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Dude, youngest man in the world, Peter, Don't that's so man.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It is Thursday. It is Divisional Round. Rock and roll.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Viewers at home, friends at the table.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It is time for Schrager's NFL Trivia and the theme
of the week is Divisional Round matchups of yesteryear.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm so excited to do this. It's my favorite weekend.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Of football all season long, and now we get trivia
questions around the final eight akbar. Earlier this season, Cooper
Dejane of the Philadelphia Eagles had this tackle on Derrick
Henry in a regular season matchup between the Eagles and
the Ravens. You take a look at this play of
(24:59):
two teams playing a divisional round. It was nassive and
it was celebrated by every in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It also brought to mind this.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Defensive back's famous tackle of a running back in two
thousand and six of the Divisional round, which safety tackled
Reggie Bush in a divisional round game in.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Two thousand and six. Is it a Sheldon Brown, Is
it b Atari Big b?
Speaker 8 (25:27):
Is it c Ken Hamlin or is it d Pro
Football Hall of Famer Ronde Barber eighteen years ago in
a divisional round playoff with one of the biggest hits
we'd ever seen of a running back who made the tackle?
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Is that eighteen years ago? What times it was?
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Eagles?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Oh, I'm taking a shot here, I'm gonna go RHNDI
Barber d.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Balcaneers, let's go to let's go it.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Okay, let's go to Dick Stockton in the late great
Tony Goose of the Goose for the call on one
of the most memorable Philadelphia sports moments of this year.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Here we go, guys.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Now, Reggie Bush lines up as the tailback, Grease swings.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
It out to Bush.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
The ball is knocked away and an incomplete pass and
a crunchy hit put on by Sheldon Brown.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
He did not see that hit coming. He was looking
back at the ball.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
That was a blind hit right there. Wow that one tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
Ow, it's clean, It is clean, and you know what
Reggie would get up. Reggie would be all right, and
Reggie would go on to win a Super Bowl years later.
But that answer is a Sheldon Brown with the Eagles
off bar any memory of that play, and Sheldon Brown
is laying out Reggie.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
But you know, once you see it.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I'm going, yeah, of course, that's the highlight that you
see all the time when you think about you know,
you go on YouTube and you look up big hits
that you'll remember that hit.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
So that yeah, of course. But the fact that he
even stood up, my goodness, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Jamie, are you ready for your question?
Speaker 8 (27:06):
I guess these guys have Atari big me too, Atari bigbe.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I just wanted to get his name in.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
What about his brother Kalico vision thing.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Leo g O Big b Jamie.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Peyton Manning got his first ever playoff road win in
two thousand and three when he beat your pal Trent
Green and Arrowhead in a game between the Chiefs and
the Colts. This game was a classic because neither team
punted the entire game.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Peyton finally got a road playoff.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Win, but the Chiefs put up numbers in this game,
which Chiefs running back ran for one hundred and seventy
six yards and two touchdowns in Peyton Manning's first ever
road playoff win in two thousand and three. Was it
a Marcus Allen? Was it Big Christian Koyer? Was it
c Larry Johnson? Or was it de Priest Holmes Trent
(27:57):
Green was the great quarterback for the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Who was the running back he was handing it to.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Okay, my brain mediately goes to it's either Marcus Allen
or Priest Holmes. Christian Okoye didn't play with Trent. I
feel like he would have told us stories about that.
I don't think it's Christian Okoye.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I don't I'm just.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Going back to my memory, my dinner memories of Fry
and Greg Gummull and just swapping stories. Also, I did
a lot of Chiefs games when Alex Smith was quarterbacking,
so we'd walk into the building and Trent Green's a
legend there.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Priest Holmes, I feel like I heard a lot of
Priest Holmes stories over dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
I have noy. Sorry, Trent, I don't know your career
like the back of my hand.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's okay. The correct answer is deep. Let's go.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
You want to talk about an incredible game from a player.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Christ Holmes had one hundred and.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
Seventy two rushing yards two touchdowns of this game.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Only four players in the NFL have done it since
in a playoff game.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
It was one of the all time greats Unfortunately, Peyton
Manning was even better.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Okay, Manning was a incredible in this game.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Manning did not play a road playoff game in any
of his final twelve playoff games.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
So like early on in his career, he would have
to go all the way to New England and you
have to go to Kansas City and went on the
road two thousand and nine happens. It was like home
games and Super Bowls. That's how good he was in
the regular season. But once upon a time Peyton Manning had.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
To go on the road.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
That was his first road win. They didn't punt the team.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Once upon a time too. I'm old enough to remember.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
The Chiefs deal used to always be disappointing in the playoffs.
I would get there and they would always let you down.
Now it's changed dramatically. I can't even if you're young
like that used to happen to the Chiefs. I know
it doesn't now, but it did them.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Tony Gonzales never won a playoff game and at ant
with the Chiefs Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
All right, Peter, what do we got see and see
music factory? For me? What do we go? Kyle?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
In twenty fourteen in the divisional round. The Patriots came
roaring back from two different fourteen point deficits when they
played the Ravens at home in a huge divisional run.
The Patriots would tie the game on this famous gadget
play that you'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Edelman in motion, Edelman takes the swing pass.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Edelman's gonna throw deep down the field, wide off in Amendola,
touchdown fifty one.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
There it is, the old kids take quarterback.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
They have been keeping that one under wraps for a
long time.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Unbelievable play, an all time legendary. So well done, great call,
Friends of the show. Julian Edelman, we love him. We've
had him on. Danny Amendola, we love him. We've had
him on Here's someone Dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
But let's go back to that year and that moment.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
OK, twenty fourteen, all.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Right, Kyle, which Irish singer songwriter had the number three
song in America the night Julian Edelman hit Danny em
Mondola for a fifty one yard touchdown pass against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Was it a fans joy and riptide? Was it b
Hosier and take me to Church?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Was it c Cia and Chandelier or was it BEAUTI Lord.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I think of that song Royals, and I just think of.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
A young ladies and Coachella with flowers in their hair.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Just vibing. They're just vibing the Lord I love. So
it's so interesting. We have take me to Church, We
have Lord.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
And the last question was about priest like Peter.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
This is this is a very religious, very religious.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
I don't really know Riptide and I don't remember chandelier.
Take Me to Church is awesome, though I love that song.
Was it Hosier? I feel like that and somebody that
I used to know, like a bare knuckle brawl about
what was played more at the dentist office back then.
I'll go with my I'll go with my first instinct, Peter,
(32:00):
and I'm gonna say, you know, let me.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
That's what I'll go with Kyle.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I like their second instant. Then damn take me to charts.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Let's go the great song.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
The Irish singer songwriter Hosier had this banger in twenty
fifteen in January.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's him. We have generic music that sounds kind of rocky,
but it ain't the song. That's okay. We went to
it that told you. It was take Me to Church
and it was a huge hit.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
When that play happens those I like the Irish singer
songwriter Goat.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
I probably saw it with Shanade Right O'Connor. Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Dan Morrison, I didn't think we'd go down to twenty
fourteen Irish singer song right, but we're here and I
really around in the church.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
We had to.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We'll queue that up in the in the commercial break.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
If you don't know the song, it's great and play
it in your commercial break at home.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
We now go to a video clue.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Our favorite part of the show and really our final round,
we're all contestants get to play.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
We have the Ravens in the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
We just saw them give up a trick play touchdown
in a heartbreaking loss to the Patriots in the twenty
fifteen divisional round. You go back fifteen years earlier, they
were in a divisional round against a hated division rival,
the Tennessee Titans. Titans are down seventeen to ten to
the Ravens in the fourth quarter. What happens on this play?
(33:30):
I'll give you four choices, guys. A Eddie George runs.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
For a fifty three yard touchdown run.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
B ray Lewis runs a fifty yard pick six back
to the house.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
See Frank Wycheck.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
Has a fifty three yard touchdown reception, or d the
late great Steve Air McNair scrambles for fifty three yards
and a touchdown and ties the game against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Let's go that way.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
We're gonna go ackbar Amy, then Kyle, then we.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Will see our answer.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Okay, well, based on the fact that it's second and fourteen,
I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with Frank
Whitchek fifty three yard touchdown reception.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
I'm gonna go with that one.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I think it's the I'm a sucker for the pick six.
I go b ray Lewis fifty yard pick six. I
always try to see though.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I remember this, A very young Hosier runs onto the
field with a guitar, and I'll tell you my sins
and you can sharpen your knife. I will also agree
with Jamie. I think b ray Lewis fifty yard pick six.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Okay, for the call, we're gonna go to the late
great Dick Edinburgh.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Nice.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Let's hear it on CBS.
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Good protection.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Here, Ray Loss, he Loss is on his way.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
He's having touch on Eddie George. Is weren't broken because
that's his fault. Eddie George could barely get up off
the field because he knows that Steve McNair threw the
football right to him and he mishandled it and gave
(35:16):
it right to Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
These two teams awesome hated each other again.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
It was Vision rivals and they go at it all
the time back in that old division that they had,
and it was always ray Lewis and Eddie George having battles.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Eddie George won.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Some of those battles, but on that day it was
ray Lewis. Kyle, what do you remember from the pick six?
And of course the Ravens would go on to win
the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
I just remember feeling at that moment that Ray Lewis
felt like the best player in the NFL at any position,
just an absolute superstar.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
And listen, he was famous. He was infamous in that moment,
was like a.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
One on one duel of linebacker versus running back all
game and that was the knockout.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
You know, there's got to be like a top five
moments in that rivalry that like defines why those two
teams hate each other.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
That's got to be on it.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And then when I had that matchup in London a
couple of years back, to see now Derrick Henry with
that your zeon feels so strange and that must be
one of the defining moments that weird.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
It is true.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
Of course, they had many a playoff battles later on,
and the Titans would get the best of the Ravens
when Lamar Jackson was the number one quarterback at MVP
in twenty nineteen and Tannehill and Derek Henry walked into
Baltimore and beat him.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Can Lamar Jackson erase those memories?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
This weekend Divisional Round, Let's go we Go with trivia
for this week
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good Morning Football.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's right, this is Good Morning Football. Welcome inside, everybody.
We are presented by Ultrapper Beef Jerky live in Los
Angeles and New York. It's Thursday, January sixteenth. I'm Jamie
ertel Akbar Badjabia, Milla, Peter Stragger, Kyle Brandt on the
show today. Of course it's your original.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Flour or something like that.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
We are looking ahead squarely to the division around. Many
people dub this their favorite weekend of football.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I myself find it very stressful.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I don't like the fact that our games and our
teams are dwindling down. We have less to watch, usually
on Thursdays, I'm looking forward to a game tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
This is starting to I'm starting to panic the fact
that we have less less football.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah, you should feel that way, because is starting to
narrow down, just like you said, And that's where all
the intensity and the excitement about football and who's going
because we know what's next after the divisional Now we
got the championship. Yeah, I mean that's what football is about.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Cut the fat, let's go good teams only Pittsburgh, get
out of here. In Minnesota, get out of here. See
you next year.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
We love you. We'll mischa.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Let's go with the real quality teams. Bring in the
one seeds, bring them in, let's see what.
Speaker 8 (01:29):
They got, Peter, I mean, we suffered through enough Browns, Bengals, Jaguars,
and if I'm being honest, we suffered through a wild
card round that I already forgot. So let's get to
the divisional round where it's the best of the best
and the football is to be played.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Seven games left to look forward to in twenty twenty five.
To put the bow on twenty twenty four, let's look
ahead to this weekend massive matchup in the af seed
between the Bills and the Ravens. These two teams previously
met last met in the playoffs during the twenty twenty
AFC Divisional round, with Josh Allen and the Bills coming
out on top seventeen to three. Lamar Jackson struggled that
(02:05):
day with just one hundred and ninety six total yards.
This week, he was asked to look back at that game.
Speaker 8 (02:12):
You obviously beat these guys earlier this year, but and
it's been a few years since you played them in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
But does that last playoff game matter to you?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Do you?
Speaker 8 (02:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Yeah, I just saw it, like I just I just
hear an eclip. We always like to post like they
like to throw that out their interception return.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
Yeah we yeah, yeah, yeah, That's all I'm gonna say
about that.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Due go.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You gotta stand there and look at the mistake that
you made. That's terrible. I hate that memory for Lamar
Jackson and he wants to erase it this weekend. Peter,
I'll start with you, who or what will ultimately decide
this game between the Ravens and the Bills this weekend
in Buffalo.
Speaker 8 (02:47):
I can't imagine a more dramatic build up for a
game that is worthy of the hype.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And I think it's going to be the quarterbacks, I
really do. And who's going to be the better quarterback?
Speaker 8 (02:58):
These have been the best two quarterbacks we have seen
all season long, and now we're asking.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
For one of them to put the deafening blow to
the other. Look at this.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
This is the seventh postseason matchup we will have since
nineteen sixty where you have the number one and number
two vote getters in MVP squaring off at a playoff game.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
We get it into the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
Not the championship, brown, not the super Bowl, And by far,
this will be the closest vote. A lot of those
votes were like forty nine votes with the Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
One went to Jalen Hurts, but they were one verse two.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
This one is going to be a very close MVP
vote and we don't know who's gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So you have that in itself. You add in the
layer of.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
The fact that both of these quarterbacks have great frustrations
in playoff history, and then you add in what they've
done coming into this thing. Fact that these two guys
have had these seasons, these incredible seasons, and only one
of them can advance tells me that the best quarterback
is going to be the one that plays in the
(03:59):
next round. Jackson has won three or four versus all time. Okay,
so you're like, all right, well, Lamar's good. But the
only time they played a playoff game, Josh Allen's team
absolutely took care of business against Lamar. So what matters
more the three regular season wins and the one that
happened earlier this season, or the fact they went to Buffalo,
(04:20):
and Buffalo handled their business during that COVID season in
front of very few fans, but sent Baltimore packing h
very simple here, which quarterback is going to be better?
We haven't been able to declare that through nineteen weeks
of football. We should know after this one, because I
think we're gonna be asking for the very best from
the two very best quarterbacks all season long. And I
(04:42):
think the one who takes care of business is going
to be the one who's worthy of saying I was
the better dude this season.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
I'm so excited for this game.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I'm not jaded, I'm not rolling my eyes, I'm not calloused.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I've been done this.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
I am so excited for this game, more so than
you can imagine. You're not gonna believe what I did
last night. You're gonna be so proud of me. So
I'm in a show hole right now, you know, Like
I don't have a show that i'm watching.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'm trying.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I'm dating Deck a little bit because I never watched Dex.
I'm trying it, but my wife's then it last night,
Brooks As I'm going to bed early.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
It's almost nine o'clock.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
I s all right, I'm not making this up. I
sat there on my phone on the couch and I
pulled up my NFL app with my NFL Plus and
all that, and I watched Bill's Ravens from earlier this year.
I watched the fat the sped up version of it.
You can watch it in like an hour. I watched
the whole.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Game Sday night to me up Sunday night. So you
know what we're gonna do. Right now, let's look at
that game.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Let's look at these two teams.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Week four. This is way back when we couldn't believe the.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Jets just lost at home to the Broncos, Like, what's
going on? But these two guys went and after an
early punt from Buffalo, this is the first play for Baltimore.
First play from Scrimsey's gone. That's his first carry the night.
It's their first snap of the night. Tomorrow, haml When
you can try as hard as you want, you're not
catching them.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Derrick Henry gone.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
It was.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Remember this is in Baltimore. At the time, Baltimore was
kind of struggling. They had just barely beaten Dallas. They
lost to the Raiders. The Bills were cruising three and oh,
so it's like Baltimore needed this win and Derek Henry
did everything. I'm gonna talk about a couple of takeaways
when we're through the highlight. Bill's had a lot of
defensive problems because we're getting to what's gonna matter in
this game. This guy's definitely gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Guy Justice Hill had a game.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
I'm gonna I have Justice Hill takes Momentarily, he was everywhere.
The Bills defense was totally lost, and in the third
quarter it got even weirder. So twenty one to three,
the Bills, who looked amazing through a month are getting crushed.
This is a full on superhero play by Alan with
three ravens.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
In his face. He finds shakier. He's not gonna score.
But it was one of the.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Coolest plays of the year for Buffalo. But it was
it was an anomaly, and this was like a freak play.
It wasn't an offense. It was their best play of
the night and it wasn't nearly enough. I'm also gonna
show your worst play then ed it was right here.
It's a trick play to allan which is totally destroyed.
There's a fumble, he gets destroyed.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Just awful, awful, awful, awful.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Play and I'm going against that little bit. They never
recovered from it. You're gonna see one more touchdown, I
think at the end as Alan took a massive hit.
They had to do this because it was nothing else
was working. Lamar is gonna run one in and it's
a complete blowout. It's over, guys. Josh Allen was taken
out of this game. We had Mitch Trubisky in this game.
Crazy thing is the next week the Bills also lost
(07:17):
to Houston. They are all best friends and they love
it and everything. Here are my takeaways for sitting in
my couch in January now watching this game. First of all,
we don't on Good Morning Football, do like, what is
your X factor? If we did, it's Justice Hill for
the Ravens. I know it's Derek Henry and Lamar. He
was so good in that game. In the passing game,
(07:37):
he kept catching passes. Justice Hill kill them. Justice Hill
scored last week against Pittsburgh. He's gonna be part of
this defense. He's gonna be part of this offense. Bill's
really missing Terrell Bernard and Matt Mlano in this game.
Their defense was lost. They had backups playing linebacker. Their
starters this week are gonna have a really hard time
stopping these guys. The backups had zero chance whatsoever. After
the game, Josh Allen says.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
They whooped our butt. Not everything was bad.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I don't want us coming into out of this game
thinking we're the worst. I'm glad it happened early in
this season so we can correct things.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Months later we go again.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
The Bills are healthier, they already got the terrible game
out of their system.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Ravens are ready to rock too.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
My biggest takeaway was the Bills had no chance on
defense in that game. They got some guys back, and
I'm gonna say this one more time, Justice Hill will
have a huge role in this game. Derek Henry, Derek Aaren,
dereck Y watch out.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
For the little guy.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's a great rewatch. You should treat yourself between now
in the game. All of us here, all of us watching,
it's really fun. Stop doing the Prestige TV watch Prestige football.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
You're right, that game was really fun.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I watched it too, and actually it was thirty eight minutes,
so you can get it in thirty eight minutes. You
can watch the condensed version, go back and enjoy it.
And Justice popped up like in a big way. It
was just passing game. He had eighty six yards in
the game. They just had to match up. It was hard.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It was very, very.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Frustrating for that defense. But to me, I think the
other thing that you got to look at is the
Bills defense, and you touched on that Kyle with that defense,
that defense looked lacklustered, couldn't stop.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
The run game.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
They ran all over the Ravens ran all over the Bills.
But something I saw in the Wildcard game and it
really got me nervous for the Buffalo Bills is the
efficiency in which the Ravens run the read option. And
they absolutely destroyed the Steelers. And you could take a
look here TJ. Watt and this Reid option. They're typically
(09:26):
like channeling in on that defensive end and how they
play it, and in this game you kept seeing TJ.
Watt and the end player crashed down in on the
dive play. And this is going to be a literal
death for any defense if you're lined up and you've
got that running back over the three technique for the defense.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Watt should be going for the uphill shoulder of Lamar
Jackson to force him to give the dive on the inside.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's where all your help is. Look at this again.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Look, Lamar Jackson was just having so much fun, like okay,
come on, and he does the best at holding it
at the mets point a little longer than most quarterbacks
who run the read option, and that's how he's able
to capture that TJ. Watt crash down on the dove.
Look at all the help and support you have on
the inside. No, take the upfield because when you're at distance,
Lamar Jackson will run all over because he's got the
(10:13):
advantage because he's got the speed.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
He's fast. And then in this game that we just watch.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Here, you can watch on the condensed version right there
on NFL plus shameless plug right there.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
But watch right there, Dwayne Smooth.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
He tries to shuffle his way and that doesn't work.
So the point here is, if I'm the defensive coach here,
I'm saying, get to the upfield shoulder, because you forced
Lamar Jackson to hand it over to Derrick Henry. That
way you have all that help on the inside. You
can see right there. Dorian Williams right that he could
flow over the top.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
As well or be responsible.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
For the dog, but it is a run run heavy
when you got Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson running that
read option.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
All right, Kyle, if you don't do X factors, but
you happen to do it for this game, you're saying
it would be justin Justice Hill. Yes, if it wasn't
on your Bengo car, but you did Bingo cars, how
many times would you hit the square?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
MVP conversation?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
What landing spots for free agents are playing in this game?
Whose birthday is next Friday?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And also, what is your bold take from this game
this weekend?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Listen, the MVP thing is going to be everywhere.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
It's going to I also feel like I wish they
could wait to keep the voting until after this game.
This feels like they do these WWE ladder matches where
there's a suitcase hanging and you have to climb up
the ladder and get it. It feels like one of
those If you go up and get the suitcase, you're
the MVP if you win this game. But the problem is,
and honestly, like I'm supposed to be pumping up the
divisional round.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
This is not the title game. This is not the
super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
The winner of this game is going to be in
some sort of crown and carry it off the field
and then maybe losenes to Mahomes the next week by
two touchdowns. Mahomes is still waiting, He's still there. It
feels like it's a title game, Peter, but it's not.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
And I think that's why this is such a unique game.
It's I said, it's one in two in the MVP.
We know that, and yet they're only a consolation because
you have to go on again, and you got to
go on the road to Kansas City. And we're not
dismissing CJ. Stroud in the Texans. Maybe they pull off
an opsite the kind of ur but most likely this
(12:11):
is for just Mono Imano, same draft class. We've had history.
That guy's up there, Burrow's over there. But you and
I have business too, And I feel like for Lamar
and Josh Allen, this is really cool because they're a
big part of this generation of quarterbacks as well, and
I don't want to see them get lost in this
Mahomes era.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Oh it's hard not to get lost.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
In it. But this is the separated That's why it's
so big. That's why it feels like that that match,
the cage match. Somebody's got to walk out out of
this cage match. That's what it feels like. You remember
the old school fixed steel, the cage match. That's what
this is exactly what. And you got the number two
the number three offense going against each other.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
It's fun. I can't wait for this divisional realm.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But when I say this name, let's say a couple
of eight running backs, shall we sign for throwdown Thursday,
we're talking free agent running backs and not the kind that, oh,
they're up and available again in March. No, these are
free agent running backs that signed with teams last year
that now find themselves.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Playing the divisional round.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
By those two important names, the free agents that were
available last March, I'm talking Derrick Henry in Saquon Barkley.
Of course, Derek Henry signed a two year deal in
Baltimore last March. Saquon Barkley a three year deal to
the Eagles in March as well. How about pressure on
these two making a name for themselves proving their worth
again in the divisional round in January, Saquon Barkley, Derek Henry, Peter.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who has more pressure on them this weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm going with Derrick Henry.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
I think this game has looked to be eleven degrees
in Buffalo on Sunday night. It's gonna be cold, it's
gonna be wicked, and this is where Derrick Henry shines.
This is what his game has always been, second half,
putting me to sleep and being able to do in
all the conditions. And I don't think Lamar is going
to be able to light it up through the air
in these conditions. So I'm going to say Derick Henry
(13:56):
based on what he was brought in to do.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Last year, they went to the AFC.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Championship game and they had one of the best running
attacks in football, and they completely abandoned the run. And
the combination of Justice Hill and Gus Edwards and JK.
Dobbins simply was not enough. So they went and they
spent big money on a thirty year old running back.
A lot of people gave the side eye to this
is why we brought you. We love what you did
(14:22):
for us this season, but gosh, if we get eighteen
carries for forty three yards.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They're not winning this game.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
If we get twenty five carries for one hundred and
sixty three yards and two touchdowns, you better believe Baltimore
is moving on to the AFC Championship Round. I think
Derrick Henry. This is a Ravens team that has knocked
on the door so many times.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They brought in their Mariano Rivera. They brought in their closer,
Sam Man. Now it's time to close.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
I actually think of Saquon just because I think there's
more pressure on the Eagles than there are on the Ravens.
Baltimore loses this game in Buffalo, it's a little bit
more palatable. You're on the road, Josh Allen goes nuts
and he beats you, and Dereck Henry is a running back.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
It really kind of goes more towards Lamar.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
The Eagles lose at home to the guys from LA
who come into the Elements and beat them and wrap
up Saquon. I just think there's just an explosion. I
said this earlier this week. Judging by the Philadelphia media,
you would have thought they lost in the wild Card
round last week based on how negative it is, and
we have injuries here and the quarterback's not good. I
also I'm wondering if maybe the quarterback's not good, so
(15:27):
that's more pressure on Saquon and he's not playing his
best ball. I do trust Jalen Hurts more than most
people do, but this is a Saquon game.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Added the context.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
If we took away the Dickerson record for games like this,
if you have a thirty seven yards on fifteen carries
in this game, it was completely for Nott. You should
have broken the record. I think Saquon has to be
the superstar at home. I think there's a lot of
pressure on him, and I think it's just a little
bit more than there is on Dereck Henry.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah, for all those same reasons. I agree with you, Kyle,
that falls on Saquon Barkley. I mean, what a waste
would that be to run, have your best season statistically
ever and then to go out in the Divisional round
against the Rams, who you absolutely crushed in that game.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
We all remember it in that game.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
And Saquon Barkley, the pressure is that he is the offense.
He came into this offense and he changed it. And
I think we've seen that. We've seen how flat this
offense when we've seen the ups and the downs, and
a lot of that is tied into his ability to
be able to gash the opposing defense. So Satquon Barkley
is carrying so much for this franchise. He's put them
in an elite level. This is not the same team
(16:32):
to me in my opinion, without Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
So yeah, I think it falls on him.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
He's got to get to He's got to get to
the super Bowl or you're just gonna sit there and go,
why did we give him the ball three hundred and
forty five times during the season, get into two thousand
and five yards and not make it to the super
Bowl like it has to happen for him.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
The home in the way aspect of this argument is
really important because to Peter's point, the fact that the
Ravens have to go to Buffalo is just going to
be really, really tough for that offense to do. But
if you have Derek Henry, you should be just fine.
Whereas Saequon gets to host. Let's talk about a team
that is.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Not playing right now.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
In January, yesterday, actor and comedian Dennis Leary was on
GMFB to talk about the Patriots. He's a New England
native and he's a massive Boston sports fan, and he
was actually lecturing us on how he is satisfied with
the years of success the team had, and when he
was talking about it, he weed them used the term
(17:25):
we when talking about the team.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Let's sake, listen, now.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
We're five years away from doing anything. I mean maybe
Rabel will saw it, but I doubt it.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I mean, we need a complete rebuild, so we may
have a quarterback who knows right and.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who cares.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
All right.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It brings up a classic faux pas that we must discuss.
Which is the bigger faux pas? If you are a
fan using the term we, like we're five years away
from a Super Bowl, or wearing a jersey with your
name on it, Peter, despite not playing for the team.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I appreciate the WII I do. It means that you
are there through thick and thin.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
And there are so many Jets and Giants fans that
I encounter every day, and it's never the Jets are
really screwed.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's we're screwed.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
And it's never the Giants won four super bowls' We
won four super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So I'm okay with the Wei. The jersey with your
name on it as.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
An adult is one I've got to scratch my head about.
There are fifty three players on the roster. There's so
many unique ways that you can can show that you're
a true fan putting your own name on the jersey
unless you're a five year old kid who's just getting
into the sport or you were gifted this from your grandma.
I don't understand any person who actually likes football who.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Would put their own name on their team's jersey.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I'd like to fight you on this, Peter, but I
mean I can't. I find the Wii endearing. It's really authentic.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
You feel like you're part of it, and you think mentally,
like really committed to this team, on and on.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Let me tell you a quick anecdote.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
In the early nineties, one of my best friends had
a birthday party and he was turning I think it
was probably twelve years old, and we were at a
bowling alley and named the Bowling Alley. I think it
was in he was in Wakanda, maybe in Illinois. It
was like Wakanda Lanes, Okay, so I think that's where
it was. And so after you bowl and everything. You
go over with the pizza and the cake, and there's
(19:26):
some presents, and this friend's dad gave him this present
in a box. Now at the time, in the nineties
in Chicago, obviously it's prime Michael Jordan era. But I
really think the second coolest athlete in Chicago, and I
think when Jordan stepped away kind of became the coolest,
was Frank Thomas. He was on the White Sox, this
massive first base when we played football in college.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
You know, the deal just really really cool.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
And I had a Frank Thomas poster and he was
awesome and he made the Sox really cool even if
you were like a Cubs fan.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
So my buddy opened the.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Box and he pulls out this black white Sox number
thirty five jersey and we all.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Go, oh, it's amazing that he takes it.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
And he turns it around and it had his last
name on the name play. It did not say Thomas,
and I'm not even gonna say his last name now
because it's an identifiable last name.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
And we all were like, oh, yeah, let's.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Go bowl another game, Let's go play some mayor hockey.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
It took all the air out of the room.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
It's there's something that is I hate this word because
it's so ubiquitous online and it's so cringe.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Before cringe was cringe.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
And it's like, I'm not only a fan of a team,
like I'm kind of in my mind I'm a member
of the team.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
No you're not.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It makes me think of like corny radio hosts going
to throw the first pitch at their local game and
they got the name on the back and like, I'm
I consider myself among you. It's just you look at
it and you're like, why would you ruin such an
incredible jersey with your own last name? It's that in
a long shot, the wee thing if that bothers you
find the last name is it's deplorable.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You guys are something else. You guys are missing it.
You're absolutely missing opera, tunity to live a dream that
will never happen.
Speaker 9 (21:08):
And this is it.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
This is what you work hard for to be able
to take your hard earned money and to be able
to put in first off from jerseys. They cost, They
cost a lot of money. If I'm getting a jersey,
I'm putting it and I was that guy, you know,
especially because you guys know I'm a massive Los Angeles
Lakers fan, and I still remember being able to get
my very first jersey. I know, don't judge me, nobody's
(21:33):
better than Magic Johnson, but I say, come on, man,
it's my dream to be able to play for the Lakers.
I'm putting Baja Bia Milla and I did it, and
I wish I still had a picture. I did Baja
Biamella the way they did Michel Jabarbi nice. It did
the Night Book and I had the long and I
wanted my name to have that same roundedness. I try
to do it on my NFL jersey. They say, no,
we can't do that, it's not work. But that is
(21:56):
it right there. So as a fan, there is no
faux Paul by Warner. You wear your last name on
that jersey, proud, because you know what, if you're a
season ticket holder and your fan, you deserve the right
to have your name on that.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Come on, I know they're not gonna get no Black
Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Come on.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I love that curvature. That is the class. You have
the perfect name for it. Okay, here's my anecdote about this.
So I was raised. This is my mom she's from Philadelphia.
She's five feet tall. She can be a little scary
at time. I love you, mom. She did not allow
me to own jerseys with athletes names on the back.
She just thought, we will not idolize people in this house.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
You can love the sport.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I would have had them all, Kevin Garnett, Randy Moss,
Chris car I would have had them all.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It was awesome. She was just like, no, you're not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
So I was never allowed to have a jersey with
anyone's last name on the back. So I was literally
taught that this is unacceptable. So I was invited to
sound the Galler hornet November and I'm thinking, Peter and
I text about this, what am I gonna wear? Like
this is such a moment on NBC And I'm like,
what if I reach out to Christian use check and
I'm like, should get like a.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Fire outfit for this?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
And the Vikings tell me we got you a jersey
with your name on it.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Which number do you want?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
And I was like, oh, I guess my high school
basketball number four is like I had, I wore it
and it's an awesome jersey.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Look at that hurd all Okay, I embraced it, I
wore it. But now it's gonna come full circle.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Now I have this rt All.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
Jersey and I feel like I should still send it
to Kristen use Chick to makers turn it into like
these pants, because she's like, that's literally what she has
turned her business into is taking people's jersey. Because that
is the only time, is in front of sixty thousand
people in Minnesota that I will wear a jersey with
my name on it from my hometown team. I want
christian Uschick to turn them into some pants or like
(23:37):
a skirt or something, and then I would wear it. Sorry, mom,
it's come full It's come full circle. I do own
a jersey with my name on it, but as the
only time I will wear it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I promise you should turn I have a distinction here.
I got a distinction here, Jamie. You were gifted that
by the team.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
That's true.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
That's a lot different than going to the pro.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Shop and type it in your own life. You're giving it, Okay,
I think you're good.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
It reminds me you go to six Flags and you
can make yourself on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Like.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
It's like you're not really on the cover of that side.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
Dude, youngest man in the world, Peter, Don't that's so man.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It is Thursday. It is Divisional Round. Rock and roll.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Viewers at home, friends at the table.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
It is time for Schrager's NFL Trivia and the theme
of the week is Divisional Round matchups of yesteryear.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm so excited to do this. It's my favorite weekend.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Of football all season long, and now we get trivia
questions around the final eight akbar. Earlier this season, Cooper
Dejane of the Philadelphia Eagles had this tackle on Derrick
Henry in a regular season matchup between the Eagles and
the Ravens. You take a look at this play of
(24:59):
two teams playing a divisional round. It was nassive and
it was celebrated by every in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It also brought to mind this.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Defensive back's famous tackle of a running back in two
thousand and six of the Divisional round, which safety tackled
Reggie Bush in a divisional round game in.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Two thousand and six. Is it a Sheldon Brown, Is
it b Atari Big b?
Speaker 8 (25:27):
Is it c Ken Hamlin or is it d Pro
Football Hall of Famer Ronde Barber eighteen years ago in
a divisional round playoff with one of the biggest hits
we'd ever seen of a running back who made the tackle?
Speaker 6 (25:39):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Is that eighteen years ago? What times it was?
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Eagles?
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Oh, I'm taking a shot here, I'm gonna go RHNDI
Barber d.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
Balcaneers, let's go to let's go it.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Okay, let's go to Dick Stockton in the late great
Tony Goose of the Goose for the call on one
of the most memorable Philadelphia sports moments of this year.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
Here we go, guys.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Now, Reggie Bush lines up as the tailback, Grease swings.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
It out to Bush.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
The ball is knocked away and an incomplete pass and
a crunchy hit put on by Sheldon Brown.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
He did not see that hit coming. He was looking
back at the ball.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
That was a blind hit right there. Wow that one tomorrow.
Speaker 12 (26:34):
Ow, it's clean, It is clean, and you know what
Reggie would get up. Reggie would be all right, and
Reggie would go on to win a Super Bowl years later.
But that answer is a Sheldon Brown with the Eagles
off bar any memory of that play, and Sheldon Brown
is laying out Reggie.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
But you know, once you see it.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I'm going, yeah, of course, that's the highlight that you
see all the time when you think about you know,
you go on YouTube and you look up big hits
that you'll remember that hit.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
So that yeah, of course. But the fact that he
even stood up, my goodness, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Jamie, are you ready for your question?
Speaker 8 (27:06):
I guess these guys have Atari big me too, Atari bigbe.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I just wanted to get his name in.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
What about his brother Kalico vision thing.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Leo g O Big b Jamie.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Peyton Manning got his first ever playoff road win in
two thousand and three when he beat your pal Trent
Green and Arrowhead in a game between the Chiefs and
the Colts. This game was a classic because neither team
punted the entire game.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Peyton finally got a road playoff.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Win, but the Chiefs put up numbers in this game,
which Chiefs running back ran for one hundred and seventy
six yards and two touchdowns in Peyton Manning's first ever
road playoff win in two thousand and three. Was it
a Marcus Allen? Was it Big Christian Koyer? Was it
c Larry Johnson? Or was it de Priest Holmes Trent
(27:57):
Green was the great quarterback for the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Who was the running back he was handing it to.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Okay, my brain mediately goes to it's either Marcus Allen
or Priest Holmes. Christian Okoye didn't play with Trent. I
feel like he would have told us stories about that.
I don't think it's Christian Okoye.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
I don't I'm just.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Going back to my memory, my dinner memories of Fry
and Greg Gummull and just swapping stories. Also, I did
a lot of Chiefs games when Alex Smith was quarterbacking,
so we'd walk into the building and Trent Green's a
legend there.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Priest Holmes, I feel like I heard a lot of
Priest Holmes stories over dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
I have noy. Sorry, Trent, I don't know your career
like the back of my hand.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's okay. The correct answer is deep. Let's go.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
You want to talk about an incredible game from a player.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Christ Holmes had one hundred and.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
Seventy two rushing yards two touchdowns of this game.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Only four players in the NFL have done it since
in a playoff game.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
It was one of the all time greats Unfortunately, Peyton
Manning was even better.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Okay, Manning was a incredible in this game.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Manning did not play a road playoff game in any
of his final twelve playoff games.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
So like early on in his career, he would have
to go all the way to New England and you
have to go to Kansas City and went on the
road two thousand and nine happens. It was like home
games and Super Bowls. That's how good he was in
the regular season. But once upon a time Peyton Manning had.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
To go on the road.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
That was his first road win. They didn't punt the team.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
Once upon a time too. I'm old enough to remember.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
The Chiefs deal used to always be disappointing in the playoffs.
I would get there and they would always let you down.
Now it's changed dramatically. I can't even if you're young
like that used to happen to the Chiefs. I know
it doesn't now, but it did them.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Tony Gonzales never won a playoff game and at ant
with the Chiefs Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
All right, Peter, what do we got see and see
music factory? For me? What do we go? Kyle?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
In twenty fourteen in the divisional round. The Patriots came
roaring back from two different fourteen point deficits when they
played the Ravens at home in a huge divisional run.
The Patriots would tie the game on this famous gadget
play that you'll never forget.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Edelman in motion, Edelman takes the swing pass.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Edelman's gonna throw deep down the field, wide off in Amendola,
touchdown fifty one.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
There it is, the old kids take quarterback.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
They have been keeping that one under wraps for a
long time.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Unbelievable play, an all time legendary. So well done, great call,
Friends of the show. Julian Edelman, we love him. We've
had him on. Danny Amendola, we love him. We've had
him on Here's someone Dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
But let's go back to that year and that moment.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
OK, twenty fourteen, all.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Right, Kyle, which Irish singer songwriter had the number three
song in America the night Julian Edelman hit Danny em
Mondola for a fifty one yard touchdown pass against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Was it a fans joy and riptide? Was it b
Hosier and take me to Church?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Was it c Cia and Chandelier or was it BEAUTI Lord.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I think of that song Royals, and I just think of.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
A young ladies and Coachella with flowers in their hair.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Just vibing. They're just vibing the Lord I love. So
it's so interesting. We have take me to Church, We
have Lord.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
And the last question was about priest like Peter.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
This is this is a very religious, very religious.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
I don't really know Riptide and I don't remember chandelier.
Take Me to Church is awesome, though I love that song.
Was it Hosier? I feel like that and somebody that
I used to know, like a bare knuckle brawl about
what was played more at the dentist office back then.
I'll go with my I'll go with my first instinct, Peter,
(32:00):
and I'm gonna say, you know, let me.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
That's what I'll go with Kyle.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I like their second instant. Then damn take me to charts.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Let's go the great song.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
The Irish singer songwriter Hosier had this banger in twenty
fifteen in January.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's him. We have generic music that sounds kind of rocky,
but it ain't the song. That's okay. We went to
it that told you. It was take Me to Church
and it was a huge hit.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
When that play happens those I like the Irish singer
songwriter Goat.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
I probably saw it with Shanade Right O'Connor. Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 7 (32:37):
Dan Morrison, I didn't think we'd go down to twenty
fourteen Irish singer song right, but we're here and I
really around in the church.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
We had to.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Let's do it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
We'll queue that up in the in the commercial break.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
If you don't know the song, it's great and play
it in your commercial break at home.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
We now go to a video clue.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Our favorite part of the show and really our final round,
we're all contestants get to play.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
We have the Ravens in the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
We just saw them give up a trick play touchdown
in a heartbreaking loss to the Patriots in the twenty
fifteen divisional round. You go back fifteen years earlier, they
were in a divisional round against a hated division rival,
the Tennessee Titans. Titans are down seventeen to ten to
the Ravens in the fourth quarter. What happens on this play?
(33:30):
I'll give you four choices, guys. A Eddie George runs.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
For a fifty three yard touchdown run.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
B ray Lewis runs a fifty yard pick six back
to the house.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
See Frank Wycheck.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
Has a fifty three yard touchdown reception, or d the
late great Steve Air McNair scrambles for fifty three yards
and a touchdown and ties the game against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Let's go that way.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
We're gonna go ackbar Amy, then Kyle, then we.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Will see our answer.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Okay, well, based on the fact that it's second and fourteen,
I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna go with Frank
Whitchek fifty three yard touchdown reception.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
I'm gonna go with that one.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I think it's the I'm a sucker for the pick six.
I go b ray Lewis fifty yard pick six. I
always try to see though.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
I remember this, A very young Hosier runs onto the
field with a guitar, and I'll tell you my sins
and you can sharpen your knife. I will also agree
with Jamie. I think b ray Lewis fifty yard pick six.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Okay, for the call, we're gonna go to the late
great Dick Edinburgh.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Nice.
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Let's hear it on CBS.
Speaker 9 (34:48):
Good protection.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Here, Ray Loss, he Loss is on his way.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
He's having touch on Eddie George. Is weren't broken because
that's his fault. Eddie George could barely get up off
the field because he knows that Steve McNair threw the
football right to him and he mishandled it and gave
(35:16):
it right to Ray Lewis.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
These two teams awesome hated each other again.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
It was Vision rivals and they go at it all
the time back in that old division that they had,
and it was always ray Lewis and Eddie George having battles.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Eddie George won.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Some of those battles, but on that day it was
ray Lewis. Kyle, what do you remember from the pick six?
And of course the Ravens would go on to win
the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
I just remember feeling at that moment that Ray Lewis
felt like the best player in the NFL at any position,
just an absolute superstar.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
And listen, he was famous. He was infamous in that moment,
was like a.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
One on one duel of linebacker versus running back all
game and that was the knockout.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
You know, there's got to be like a top five
moments in that rivalry that like defines why those two
teams hate each other.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
That's got to be on it.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
And then when I had that matchup in London a
couple of years back, to see now Derrick Henry with
that your zeon feels so strange and that must be
one of the defining moments that weird.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
It is true.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
Of course, they had many a playoff battles later on,
and the Titans would get the best of the Ravens
when Lamar Jackson was the number one quarterback at MVP
in twenty nineteen and Tannehill and Derek Henry walked into
Baltimore and beat him.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Can Lamar Jackson erase those memories?
Speaker 8 (36:24):
