1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined by the one and only

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Wes Hodkowitz, were coming to you here from our studios

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, fresh off a dramatic three Green Bay

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Packers victory in the NFC Divisional playoff over the Seattle

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks West. There are any number of angles we could

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: go about analyzing and discussing this game, but I'm just

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna start right here. When it was three at halftime,

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: when it was ten in the middle of the third quarter,

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: you still just knew it was gonna come down to

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: the end, right, I mean you just you knew it.

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: And that's exactly how it played out. So I thought

13
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: this game on so many levels illustrated just the absolute

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: brilliance of both Are Rogers and Russell Wilson. Yeah. I

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: said that all week long last week, starting with Russell Wilson.

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: Phenomenal performance by him. I know it wasn't picture perfect,

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: but as I said to you from the beginning, Mike,

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: with him, he can win, for lack of a better

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: term here, term here dirty, not in that sense, but

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: in terms of like he can do it ugly and

21
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Seattle said they wanted to run the both Marshawn Lynch.

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I somewhat felt all along that that was an ill

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: advised plot. They did it, they did not, They tried.

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: They tried, so they went back to their bread and butter,

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: which is asking Russell Wilson to just do superhuman things.

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Evening at the improv at lambeau Field. I mean, it

27
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: was just he was just making it up as he

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: went along, which is what he's done all season to

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: get the Seahawks as far as they got, Yeah, and

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: being able to open up some big plays there for Seattle.

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: He's the type of quarterback. He's what you need to

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: win in this league. The game is never too far

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: out of reach for him to come back and mount

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: a big rally. Aaron Rodger years, I've been saying for

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: so long now because people always think and it's just

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: all because I worked for the team now and I'm

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Packers dot Com since the very beginning. People want to

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: paint this thing of is Rogers passed his prime? Is

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: he is he passed it or whatever? If you consistently

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: beat that drum, you end up looking like a fool.

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: Because the one thing I think a lot of people

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: don't realize is in addition to Aaron Rodgers being a

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: generational talent and making countless amounts of throws in this

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: game that a very few number of humans on this

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: planet can actually do, Aaron Rodgers still has that greatness

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: in him in the most clutch situations. I said all

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: last week I was expecting the best version of him,

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: and that's what you saw in this They got the

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: twenty three yard game from Aaron Jones early, but otherwise

50
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: they couldn't really run the ball the way I thought

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: that they might be able to against Seattle's struggle. So

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: it had to be on Aaron Rodgers. It had to

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: be Davante Adams and Rogers played I I felt like

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic football game. And the third down completions nine

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: of four town nine fourteen on third down, three huge

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: third down conversions by Jimmy Graham and Davante Adams has

57
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: just an iconic performance. Eight receptions for hundred sixty yards

58
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. The other thing too about that, I mean, Mike,

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: how many of those catches were just like gotta have

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: them grabs that were fully contested. He ran that forty

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: yard we're talking about that post corner route, just a

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: magnificent route adjustment gets in for the forty yard touchdown.

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: But then to make that thirty two yard catch kind

64
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: of over his shoulder with just a little bit of

65
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: separation off a fade route that they put together at

66
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It speaks to his greatness and

67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: it obviously is another testament to Aaron Rodgers and what

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: has been just an incredible Hall of Fame career. Well,

69
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: you you can say so much about Aaron Rodgers and

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Davante Adams from this game, just to start with the

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: play at the end, the thirty two yard completion on

72
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: third and eight when the Packers are on their own

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: twenty two yard line there with just over two minutes

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: to go. Rogers actually said after the game, Adams didn't

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: just adjust the route. He was better than the check,

76
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: like the check that's in the playbook. Adams actually did

77
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: a different check and it was better. And Rogers was

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: on the same page with Adams and the throw was

79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. And that was one of many throws. As

80
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: you were just talking about that, I mean, I don't

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: know how many times did I lean over to you

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: in the press box and say, wow, what a throw.

83
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was at least right. I mean, whether

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about the third down pass to Jimmy Graham

85
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, right before the forty yard touchdown

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: to Davante Adams, the third and ten pass over the middle,

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the side arm one to Geronimo Allison that kept one

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: drive alive there briefly in the fourth quarter. I just

89
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: mentioned the one to Adams, the one to Graham at

90
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: the end of the game where he has to stand

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: in the pocket. He's got to hold it as long

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: as he can to give Graham a chance to break

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: free coming on the crossing route. He takes a shot,

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: but puts the ball right on the money. And that's

95
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: just that's only the start of the list of the

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: throws that Rogers made in this game. I thought it

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: was an absolutely tour to force performance by one of

98
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: the best, by one of the best ever. And statistically

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I looked it up. I wrote about it. The hundred

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: and thirteen point seven passer rating. That's only his sixth

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: highest postseason passer rating for a single game. But when

102
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: you look at those handful of five or six throws

103
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: that were absolutely pinpoint spot on in difficult spots. I

104
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was just it was masterful work by him. Yeah,

105
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: And it's the reason why I will continue to say

106
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a garbage argument when people put

107
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: out this below average or average whatever you want to

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: label him as, keep doing it, go ahead, it's fine.

109
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: But the reality is is this is a human game

110
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: played by real people that actually have, like you know,

111
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: a brain and a personality and things they enjoy doing

112
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: off the field instead of just playing football for sixty

113
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: minutes and going back into a corner for the next

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: seven days. And Aaron Rodgers, I think when you look

115
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: at just what it requires to play this game at

116
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: its highest level, I thought him and Russell Wilson just

117
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: put on a clinic for what it takes to play

118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: quarterback in two thousand, nineteen and two thousand and twenty.

119
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: They were just epitome of everything that is great about

120
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: this sport. And why I think you can't make just

121
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: asinine comments about you know, this being the end of this,

122
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: or this being the end of that, or he isn't

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the player he once was. It can always change. And

124
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: here's the beautiful thing, Mike, It's not just Aaron Rodgers

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has up and down years. Philip Rivers has

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: had up and down years. Guys have up and down years.

127
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Because spoiler alert, it's a pretty dang hard position to

128
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: play in the NFL, and for Rogers to step up

129
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: in that situation with the temperature being what it is,

130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: the stakes being as high as they were, Packers got

131
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: off to the fast start they needed. They haven't these

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: last few weeks. It's been really tough trying to get

133
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: points on that opening drive. Seattle wins the toss to

134
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: fur and the Packers march right down. They needed to

135
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: set the tone in this game, and then when they

136
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: needed to get their form in an offense going late,

137
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: they were able to accomplish that again as well. Yeah, well,

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: certainly Davantae Adams took his place in the Packers record

139
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: books here with this eight catch, hundred and sixty yard performance.

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: It is the most receiving yards in a single postseason

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: game in franchise history, one more than the hundred and

142
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: fifty nine that ja Michael Finley had in the two

143
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: thousand nine wild card overtime shootout against the Arizona Cardinals.

144
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: But you think about it was Davanta Adams is at

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the top of a list that includes Max McGee from

146
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl one, Jordy Nelson from Super Bowl forty five,

147
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Antonio Freeman from Super Bowl thirty one, John Jefferson from

148
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: the big postseason game that he had in the early eighties.

149
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Davantae Adams hundred and sixty yards is at

150
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: the top of that list. And he and there were

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: times in the game where he absolutely looked dominant doing it.

152
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean there was the one, the one drive in

153
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: the first half where Rogers just on different routes against

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: different coverages, it was just bing, bing bing seventeen seventeen seventeen,

155
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: just kept hitting him every time for a first down,

156
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Packers marching right down the field. A couple of the

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: fans who were chiming in while I was live blogging

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: kept using the word surgical the way Rogers and Adams

159
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: were connecting and moving the ball in the first half.

160
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very apt description. And uh,

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Rogers talked after the game about how his his connection,

162
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: that that chemistry, that telepathy, whatever you want to call it,

163
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: with Adams is just on another level now. And Rogers

164
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: actually brought up that it's it's getting like it was

165
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: with Jordy Nelson, and that is not a comparison that

166
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: he would make lightly. I mean, he's he's never said

167
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: it in that way before about Adams, but in this game,

168
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: that's how it felt and that's how it looked, because

169
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: it's not just the gold standard for Rogers in a receiver,

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: that's the gold standard for any receiver in quarterback scenario.

171
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: When him and Nelson had and being able to be

172
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: on that second level ten years together, Yeah, it's an

173
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: incredible run. And now you see Davante Adams now in

174
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: year five of this thing, you're six of this thing

175
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: now being able to develop that relationship now with Rogers

176
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: and obviously be able to have that telepathy in their communication,

177
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: how they deal with each other. It was interesting to

178
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: talking to Geronimo Allison the locker room after the game.

179
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: He said, you know, all week long, you know, Tavante

180
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: just had this look in his eye like it was

181
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: just like he was kind of in on a secret,

182
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: like he just he knew he was going to play

183
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: well in this game. And Davante was asked about that

184
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: after Alison made those comments, and his thought was two things. One,

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: he played really well against Seattle, last year ten catches

186
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty six yards and the last time,

187
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: this is what I really enjoyed the last time the

188
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: Packers came off of a by five years ago. Also

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: in the in the PLAYFFS, he also played really well

190
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: against Elis. Those are things that actually bolstered his confidence

191
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: going into this, and he said it's because of like anything,

192
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: if I go up against a cornerback who has success

193
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: the same cornerback, the same team, the same circumstances a

194
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: year later, that's going to be in the back of

195
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: his mind. So he's like, I can't see how that

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: wasn't something Seattle was thinking about in despite you know,

197
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: the extra tension they gave him. He I thought, put

198
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: on just a clinic when it came to his footwork,

199
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: in his fundamentals and what was asking at that receiver position.

200
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: And then oh, by the way, when you tie all

201
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: that together, he's a pretty remarkable athlete too. Yeah, I

202
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: mean it was that that was a that was a

203
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: remarkable performance, and certainly the Packers want to see Adams

204
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: and Rogers on that same page again next week out

205
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. But real quickly here was select cousin

Speaker 1: We believe in better defensive side of the ball. Here

210
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: for the Packers, tale of who has curly um. The

211
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Packers were bottling up the run game, bottling up Russell Wilson,

212
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: frustrating him, you know, not letting him scramble. He's trying

213
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: to get off some passes just as he reaches the

214
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you know, trying to fool the Packers

215
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: into committing to run or pass on on those scrambles.

216
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: And green Bay holds him to just three points in

217
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: the first half, one field goal, one missed field goal.

218
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: They stood up tall enough at the end of the

219
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: first half to render um uh hail mary as the

220
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: only chance there at the end of the second quarter,

221
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: which fell incomplete. But then in the second half it

222
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: was a totally different story. Russell Wilson was doing his

223
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson things, his his improv his making it up,

224
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: his incredible elusiveness. I mean, the Packers sacked him five

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: times in this game. Weston. It was like they could

226
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: have sacked him fifteen I mean, there were there were

227
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: so many times. But you know, Green Bay is not

228
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: the first defense that Russell Wilson has has done this to.

229
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: This is just the way this guy plays. He for

230
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: all the times that he does get sacked, he is

231
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: He is incredibly hard to corral and he's very difficult

232
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: to bring down. And really it came down to finally,

233
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: third and six, fourth quarter, right around three minutes to go,

234
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Preston Smith comes blowing around the right tackle and gets

235
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: a clean shot on him and drops him. Seattle punts

236
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: the ball and then doesn't get it back because the

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Packers get the two big third down conversions, and uh,

238
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: you know that's that's how you close out. That's how

239
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: you close out the Seattle Seahawks is you make the

240
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: big stop on third down and then you don't give

241
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: him the one last chance that you were looking for. Yeah,

242
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was apropos when you look at just

243
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: the entire defensive performance the first half. It was Zadarius

244
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Smith getting the two sacks, Kenny Clark knife through got

245
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: another one. I thought Kenny had a really good start.

246
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: He had to chase Wilson down was like he had

247
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: him and then he got away, and then he ran

248
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: him down and then got him before he got back

249
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage to get that sad. Yeah,

250
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: and it's fun because it's like, that's kind of what

251
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: it's like when you're playing Russell Wilson. It's like these

252
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: shoes string tackles every once in a while and you'll

253
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: take him. But the second half it shows you again

254
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: why Brian goodykinstant just stopped with Zadarius Smith. He went

255
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: and signed Preston Smith too, because I thought Smith, especially

256
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, was just exceptional, you know, exceptional.

257
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: What was what was his line after the game, defending

258
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is like chasing a chicken in a field

259
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: with no fence. I think that was the I think

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: that that fantastic description and uh and absolutely spot on

261
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: the way that game was unfolding. But again it goes

262
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: back to the mental toughness of that defense because the

263
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: third quarter was rough. I mean, Seattle marches down the

264
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: field both times, puts up fourteen points and now suddenly

265
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the complexion of the game changes after very dominant first half,

266
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: but they needed to not only find a stop late

267
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: in the game. They needed to do that because now

268
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: the game was only five points in Seattle had a

269
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: chance to march down the field to pull ahead in

270
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: the waning moments of this game, and they stepped up

271
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: towards that they got a critical stop and being able

272
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: to then execute the four minute offense. This defense, Mike,

273
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: I mean, when all the Chips are down, they always

274
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: find a way to persevere, and it is it's really

275
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: interesting now that they will get an opportunity to see

276
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: if they can get that redemption against you know, Jimmy

277
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and the San Francisco defense or offense. But we'll

278
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: we'll get more time for that later this week. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well,

279
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: we've seen it time and time again, Wes. And this

280
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: is what I focused my entire game recap story on

281
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: that I wrote last night. This Packers team, they make

282
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the plays in the fourth quarter when they have to

283
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: have them. And as you said, it was like the

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: Chips were down, Seattle seemingly had all the momentum in

285
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: the world, and then you look at the sack by

286
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: Preston Smith and then the two third down conversions on offense.

287
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: The past two Adams over the top and then the

288
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: crosser to Jimmy Graham. When you look at it in

289
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, the play by play because of the time

290
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: outs being used in the two minute warning, those were

291
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: three really really big clutch plays that happened within like

292
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: ninety seconds of game clock. And if any one of

293
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: those three plays within that ninety seconds of game clock

294
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: isn't going the Packers way, if the Packers don't do

295
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: what they have to in those moments, we might be

296
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: talking about a different ending here. I mean it was

297
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: there were there were big time moments, and as the

298
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Packers have done far more often than not this season,

299
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: they came through when they had to come through. They

300
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: really did. And it's funny too because if you look

301
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: at this whole game, uh, you know, Jared Valdeer ends

302
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: up playing and you know, having to start. We haven't

303
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: even we haven't even talked about that yet, but wow,

304
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: what a what a performance by him, And well, you

305
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: know they'll talk for you know, decades to come. Here

306
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: in Packer fans circles about Davante Adams and the performance

307
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: he had and Rogers leading them past Russell Wilson getting

308
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: some playoff revenge against Seattle. But then there's a guy

309
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: like Jared Valdier that I think only like the true

310
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: die hards are going to remember this game. But Brian Blaga,

311
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: who successfully cleared the concussion for WoT A call earlier

312
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: in the week, is so he's able to take all

313
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: the first team reps at right tackle. The plan is

314
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: for him to be there. Even won the Stand Up

315
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Guy Award on Friday. Everybody's feeling really good about this thing.

316
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: And then the day of the game, that dreaded bug,

317
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: that flu bug that's been circling around the locker room,

318
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: it gets Brian Bulaga, and Bilaga, to his credit, was

319
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: active for this game. They did have him up. But

320
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: whatever happened, you know, in those hours in between there

321
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: and eventually we'll get a chance to talk to him.

322
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: They ended up having to make a decision basically half

323
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: an hour before the start of the game that they're

324
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with Jared Valdere and outside has he even

325
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: said it outside and maybe one rush against Jadeveon Clowney

326
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: where he was able to get inside of him. The

327
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: guy pitched a shut out. This is a guy that

328
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: was retired two months ago at this time, a guy

329
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: that had stepped away from the game, had already played

330
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: in over a hundred regular season contests, had started thinks

331
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere around a hundred and nineteen he was done.

332
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: And then here he is in a very critical late

333
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: season and the acquisition by Brendan Brian Goodkunst play and

334
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: one of the most important downs of football the Packers

335
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: have seen. Yeah, well, Rogers said after the game actually

336
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: that he saw Bolag a kind of tap himself out

337
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: during warmups where you know, they during warmups, they line

338
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: up with the full offense, but it's kind of on air.

339
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's really no defense on the other side,

340
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: and they're just they're just running through certain formations and plays.

341
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: And Rogers said, after one of the players Bolaga just

342
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: kind of walked off to the sideline, you know, signaled

343
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: for valder to go in and finish up, you know

344
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: that round because we and that was and and then

345
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: that was it. Bolaga basically took himself out and knew

346
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to be able to go and

347
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: that's essentially when the decision was made. And you know

348
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: what val Deer did stepping in, obviously he was huge

349
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: stepping in the fourth quarter in Detroit for the Packers

350
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: to get the first round by when Bolaga got the concussion,

351
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: and then he comes up big yesterday and Rogers was joking,

352
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, on the sideline with him saying, you know,

353
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: isn't this amazing? You were retired like two months ago,

354
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and val Deer said, dude, I was in the stands

355
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: that Soldier field watching you guys beat the Bears in

356
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: Week one, I mean, his first week of football retirement.

357
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: You know, he's in the crowd in Chicago watching the

358
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: kickoff opener of the NFL season and lo and behold

359
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: the team that he was watching get a victory. Is

360
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: uh the team that he's starting for at right tackle

361
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: in the NFC Divisional playoffs four months later. I mean,

362
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: it's it's really, it's really a pretty remarkable story. You

363
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: couldn't you can't make this stuff up. And you know

364
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: better than anybody might cover in this team. As long

365
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: as you have now. It is one thing to just

366
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: stay in shape. It is another thing to actually be

367
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: in a condition to play all, you know, meaningful snaps

368
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: late in the season after you didn't have an off

369
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: season programmer or training camp or anything like that, and

370
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: to play a full game to not just filling in

371
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: for a quarter like he did in Detroit, which was

372
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: which was solid enough, but he had he had to

373
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: go wire to wire against the Seattle Seahawks and a

374
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: fair number of snaps against Mr Clowney. Yeah, and just

375
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: the you know, that's an important acquisition. And it's funny.

376
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: He actually said afterwards to this this public virus that's

377
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: going around, he caught it too, uh And I think

378
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: David Boctryo was talking with Rob Demovski about this too.

379
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: He worked through it last week and Valdere said, I mean,

380
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: it is it's bad. What he had was bad. And

381
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, he understands why Brian Blaga was

382
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: in the position he was in and the fact that

383
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: he would have done anything to be out there. But sometimes, man,

384
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: if you get full blown influenza, it'll get you and

385
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: there's no amount of fluids or anything that's gonna get

386
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: you through that. So fortunately for the Packers, again, this

387
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: is a this is a guy that they claimed off

388
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: waivers from New England at the end of November, was

389
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: activated what December nine or something like that, and here

390
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: he is now having to play in three critical moments.

391
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, in in that first month with the team. Well,

392
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: just quickly to recap everything else that happened on divisional weekend.

393
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: As everyone knows, the Packers opponent in the NFC Championship

394
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: game next week will be the San Francisco for the Uniters,

395
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: so it is the one seed versus the two seed

396
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: in the NFC. The game will be at Levi Stadium

397
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, and obviously we'll be talking all week

398
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: long about how the Packers, uh, you know, looking to

399
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: avenge obviously what happened out there in November, which was

400
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: really the low point of the season quite frankly. In

401
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: the a f C, the Tennessee Titans go into Baltimore

402
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: and knock off the top seeded Baltimore Ravens. So now

403
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: the Titans keeping their playoff run going, they will travel

404
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: to Kansas City for the a f C championship game.

405
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: As the Chiefs recover from a twenty four to nothing

406
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: deficit and outscore the Houston Texans fifty one to seven

407
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: over the final three quarters of the game. So some

408
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: really interesting games in the a f C. But with

409
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: the a f C and the forty Niners, I think

410
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: if you look at the four NFC playoff games that

411
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: have been played so far, the two wild card games,

412
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: the two divisional games. Hands down, the most impressive performance

413
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: impressive victory was Sam Francisco over Minnesota. It was dominant.

414
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: The San Francisco's defense shut down Minnesota and the Vikings

415
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: could not stop San Francisco's running game. And twenty seven

416
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: to ten does not describe how dominant that victory was. Yeah,

417
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: it really doesn't. And the one thing that that stood

418
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: out to me is that all the year long I

419
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: talked about the Vikings are just a different team when

420
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: Delvin Cook is out there. Credit where credits do? San

421
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: Francisco took away Delvin Cook and the Vikings abandoned their

422
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: running game altogether. That's how good that front is. That's

423
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: how good those two nose tackles are for San Francisco.

424
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: You and I were having a conversation with James Jones

425
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: before a PEP rally on Saturday, and Jones great to

426
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: see j j. He made a great point when he

427
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: was talking with us about what you have to do.

428
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm not taking away any of his fodder for

429
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: this week on NFL Outwork, but when you're playing San Francisco,

430
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: good luck. If you're trying to move the ball up

431
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: the field between the hashes, you have to get the

432
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: ball outside. It doesn't matter if it's the runner pass.

433
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: You have to be able to produce outside and stretch

434
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: them horizontally. That I think is gonna be one of

435
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: the big adjustments the Packers are gonna have to make

436
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: this week, because you know, Minnesota was who they were.

437
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: They're a north south running team. That's where Cook's bread

438
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and butter is. But they just were not able to

439
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: get the push in the lanes to open up. And

440
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: if you're not able to get the run going, we've

441
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: seen it so often that destroys the play action pass

442
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins, and it's it's kind of a self

443
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: fulfilling prophecy from their San Francisco is a real problem.

444
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna be a challenge and the Packers

445
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: are going to go there and try to reverse fortunes.

446
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: I have to mention to Tennessee versus Kansas City. I

447
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: actually can't think of any better storylines going into a

448
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: conference championship in terms of both of those teams than

449
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Casey. From Casey's perspective, Andy Reid. How special

450
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: would that be for him to lead another team to

451
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl still chasing that Lombardi Trophy. That would

452
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: be an incredible achievement Tennessee. If they would actually make

453
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: a run here, if they can find a way to

454
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: turn back Kansas City at home. You have to beat

455
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Patriots, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

456
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: and Patrick Homes in Kansas City, all on the road,

457
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: on the road to go to the Super Bowl, all

458
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: on the road. That's a remarkable run that would be

459
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: either way. That storyline is going to be great. Yeah,

460
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: Final four. I don't think it could possibly get any

461
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: more compelling. Yeah, I'm this This is it's gonna be.

462
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great Sunday of football, and we

463
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: got all week to talk about it. We're kind of

464
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: up against the clock right here, so we're gonna call
