I mean, that's what you try 0:00:36.539 --> 0:00:38.219 to do every single season. Our goal is just to 0:00:38.219 --> 0:00:39.619 get to the super Bowl, and that's going to take 0:00:39.619 --> 0:00:41.379 everything we have this next week. So this is a 0:00:41.419 --> 0:00:42.899 great Ravens team that we're going up against. 0:00:42.899 --> 0:00:44.659 They had to Baltimore to see if they can come 0:00:44.739 --> 0:00:47.179 up with a way to keep John Harbaugh from breaking 0:00:47.179 --> 0:00:54.019 out another rendition of the senior citizen Humpty dance. Chiefs 0:00:54.019 --> 0:00:54.979 have won four straight. 0:00:55.059 --> 0:00:55.819 Hey, listen, no. 0:00:55.979 --> 0:00:56.939 Dancing today, No. 0:00:58.659 --> 0:01:00.659 Dancing today. We got we got more to do. 0:01:00.819 --> 0:01:03.739 Looked better last week offensively than they have all year. 0:01:03.899 --> 0:01:06.619 Pat Mahomes maybe comes in off his best outing of 0:01:06.659 --> 0:01:06.979 the year. 0:01:07.099 --> 0:01:09.299 It's always fun when you get to come together as 0:01:09.299 --> 0:01:12.139 a team and really just be like y'all versus everybody 0:01:12.299 --> 0:01:12.859 and get the win. 0:01:12.979 --> 0:01:15.139 He put up his highest rate at least over one 0:01:15.299 --> 0:01:18.659 thirty went seventeen for twenty three, over nine yards per attempt, 0:01:18.659 --> 0:01:20.059 two touchdowns, no picks. 0:01:20.299 --> 0:01:21.339 Watch him fake this. 0:01:21.499 --> 0:01:23.459 Right here, like I'm gonna throw it over you, and 0:01:23.499 --> 0:01:25.099 it gets Douglas to leave his feet. 0:01:25.579 --> 0:01:27.579 Mahallas has been doing this for years. 0:01:27.739 --> 0:01:30.619 Baltimore at Super Bowls door for the first time since 0:01:30.659 --> 0:01:33.459 twenty twelve. They've now won ten of their last eleven 0:01:33.539 --> 0:01:35.899 games with Lamar Jackson starting, who. 0:01:35.739 --> 0:01:37.859 Was rusty, you know, it was windy, it was cooling. 0:01:37.899 --> 0:01:40.979 His head got down, Jackson, cape Stanley in front of him, 0:01:41.299 --> 0:01:43.059 touchdown Lamar. 0:01:43.539 --> 0:01:45.339 When we came out second half and we deal we 0:01:45.339 --> 0:01:45.979 were supposed to do. 0:01:46.259 --> 0:01:48.779 Course from the board and after last week, Baltimore with 0:01:48.859 --> 0:01:51.219 a minimum of thirty one points in each of their 0:01:51.299 --> 0:01:53.899 last seven home games with Jackson at QB. 0:01:53.979 --> 0:01:55.219 I thought Lamar was gonna play great. 0:01:55.219 --> 0:01:57.259 But he's played great all year, you know, and just 0:01:57.339 --> 0:02:00.539 now it's it's more important than ever. He's been locked 0:02:00.579 --> 0:02:03.819 in from day one. That's his turn, and we've all 0:02:03.899 --> 0:02:04.619 kind of that. 0:02:05.259 --> 0:02:08.899 Then we're going out a championship game at that, because 0:02:08.939 --> 0:02:10.019 that hey the bar. 0:02:10.499 --> 0:02:13.899 This is the fourth installment of Lamar Mahomes. Mahomes as 0:02:13.939 --> 0:02:19.779 a three to one edge. Mahomes is three and two 0:02:19.779 --> 0:02:23.179 in conference championship games. Hasn't ever played one on the road, 0:02:23.219 --> 0:02:25.619 but he won away from Arrowhead last week, so the 0:02:25.659 --> 0:02:28.099 whole hasn't ever had to win a playoff game on 0:02:28.179 --> 0:02:30.219 the road. Thing is no more, you're. 0:02:30.099 --> 0:02:30.499 On the road. 0:02:30.659 --> 0:02:33.299 It's it's you vers him, It's you versus everybody in 0:02:33.339 --> 0:02:35.179 the stadium, and you have to come together as a team, 0:02:35.339 --> 0:02:36.299 and the guys do that. 0:02:36.459 --> 0:02:38.939 This is Lamar's first conference championship game. 0:02:40.019 --> 0:02:42.459 Said about you having one playoff win? 0:02:42.579 --> 0:02:43.259 Have you heard that? 0:02:43.619 --> 0:02:44.419 Motivate you are? 0:02:45.219 --> 0:02:45.419 That? 0:02:45.699 --> 0:02:49.899 You are Jackson plus elite rush, offense plus elite defense 0:02:49.979 --> 0:02:53.499 plus home field advantage. That's what Casey is up against. 0:02:53.739 --> 0:02:56.739 Baltimore's win over Houston in the divisional round was more 0:02:56.819 --> 0:03:00.019 or less what twenty twenty three Ravens football is all about. 0:03:00.139 --> 0:03:01.139 Quarterback dropped the middle. 0:03:01.139 --> 0:03:06.899 He's in the tense Glomar Jackson. 0:03:07.179 --> 0:03:09.819 Jackson's dual threat abilities were front and center in the 0:03:09.859 --> 0:03:12.859 division round win. His legs, though, are what make him special, 0:03:12.899 --> 0:03:15.939 and they propelled Baltimore into the conference championship game. One 0:03:15.979 --> 0:03:19.179 hundred yards rushing nine point one to carry two scores. 0:03:19.459 --> 0:03:23.699 Jackson has to go, and boy when he goes, he 0:03:23.819 --> 0:03:25.779 goes right up the middle of the field. 0:03:25.979 --> 0:03:29.339 Kansas City just finished playing Josh Allen gave up seventy 0:03:29.339 --> 0:03:32.299 two yards rushing to him six a run, two tds. 0:03:32.419 --> 0:03:33.419 Space is on the. 0:03:33.419 --> 0:03:36.339 Loose again, another first down for Buffalo. 0:03:36.699 --> 0:03:38.899 Jackson is just a third or maybe a fourth of 0:03:38.939 --> 0:03:42.219 Baltimore's rush attack. Kansas City's defense should expect plenty of 0:03:42.219 --> 0:03:46.259 Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, maybe some Dalvin Cook Hill last 0:03:46.259 --> 0:03:48.619 week sixty six yards, five point one a run. 0:03:48.939 --> 0:03:52.099 Justice had a great game on second and nine Hill 0:03:52.699 --> 0:03:53.819 first down plus. 0:03:53.899 --> 0:03:56.059 I told Justice, I said, man, you're really really talented, 0:03:56.059 --> 0:03:57.059 but your heart's even bigger. 0:03:57.139 --> 0:03:59.739 Hill hit over five a carry this year in limited 0:03:59.819 --> 0:04:03.099 duty Edwards versus the Texans forty yards for a carry. 0:04:03.379 --> 0:04:05.899 Gus with eight hundre plus yards for the year, thirteen 0:04:05.979 --> 0:04:07.299 paint jobs first. 0:04:07.099 --> 0:04:12.019 And goal Edwards into the end zone from touchdown Ravens. 0:04:12.139 --> 0:04:14.539 Cook chipped in twenty three yards in his first action 0:04:14.619 --> 0:04:18.219 for Baltimore. All that versus the number one rush defense 0:04:18.379 --> 0:04:21.699 versus running backs too. Chiefs didn't play backs nearly as 0:04:21.739 --> 0:04:24.459 well as Houston, but they did keep James Cook in check. 0:04:24.499 --> 0:04:26.659 He went for four point seven to twenty twenty three. 0:04:26.699 --> 0:04:29.459 They kept him to three point four a carry. Linebacker 0:04:29.579 --> 0:04:32.659 Nick Bolton had a whopping thirteen tackles. 0:04:33.139 --> 0:04:36.019 Right into Bolton drives it back after one. 0:04:36.179 --> 0:04:39.699 Chief's secondary also up against it. Jackson's most recent MVP 0:04:39.819 --> 0:04:43.739 outing came complete with nice passing stats. Repeating myself, Baltimore's 0:04:43.779 --> 0:04:47.019 offense a run dominant outfit. They sported a one thirty 0:04:47.139 --> 0:04:49.779 run pass split for the year, but when they throw, 0:04:50.099 --> 0:04:52.339 it's produced nice results all day. 0:04:55.059 --> 0:04:57.539 Patement, nice diving cats. 0:04:57.579 --> 0:05:00.259 Lamar went sixteen for twenty two last week, one hundred 0:05:00.259 --> 0:05:02.779 and fifty two yards two tds. No picks a rating 0:05:02.819 --> 0:05:04.019 over one twenty. 0:05:04.259 --> 0:05:07.099 Team to win an MVP award, All right, but I 0:05:07.139 --> 0:05:09.859 know who the MVP is, then Lamar Jackson. 0:05:13.219 --> 0:05:16.259 Should be noted too. Houston, a team that doesn't blitz 0:05:16.299 --> 0:05:19.019 a lot, sent the house after Lamar all game long, 0:05:19.219 --> 0:05:22.379 seventy five percent of his dropbacks. That's an absurd rate. 0:05:22.699 --> 0:05:25.699 He faced pressure forty three percent of his dropbacks. That's 0:05:25.739 --> 0:05:27.259 a lot, and none of it matter. 0:05:27.379 --> 0:05:29.939 And they have ten guys within five yards. 0:05:30.019 --> 0:05:32.979 Let's pressure coming past completed, Isaiah likely pulls his way 0:05:33.019 --> 0:05:35.179 down to the twenty seven yard line. 0:05:34.939 --> 0:05:36.659 Once Lamar was able to sit back to or just. 0:05:36.619 --> 0:05:38.219 Kind of just kind of pick him a park in 0:05:38.339 --> 0:05:40.619 the ball out quick. He just did a great job 0:05:40.619 --> 0:05:41.779 of that, and I took patrol again. 0:05:42.019 --> 0:05:45.219 No Ravens pass catcher had even fifty yards versus Houston 0:05:45.299 --> 0:05:48.139 wasn't required. Zay Flowers led them in targets. He was 0:05:48.179 --> 0:05:51.019 their leader on that front all year. Four catches forty 0:05:51.019 --> 0:05:52.299 one yards versus Houston. 0:05:52.659 --> 0:05:57.819 Patree coming on a blitz again, Jackson steps up Say 0:05:57.899 --> 0:06:00.539 Flowers with a catch at a first out. 0:06:00.939 --> 0:06:04.099 Flowers has been the most consistent Lamar target this season. 0:06:04.259 --> 0:06:07.019 He's a slot guy, so he will go mano almano 0:06:07.059 --> 0:06:10.579 with Trent McDuffie, Kansas City's nickel cornerback. He made first 0:06:10.619 --> 0:06:12.939 team All Pro this year, so that's a top shelf 0:06:12.939 --> 0:06:13.539 one on one. 0:06:13.619 --> 0:06:16.219 He'll throw it the near side Tyrek Hill right the stomach, 0:06:16.339 --> 0:06:17.259 fubbles the ball. 0:06:17.299 --> 0:06:18.579 Picked up like Kansas sent it. 0:06:18.659 --> 0:06:20.179 Probably is the best team I've ever been off. 0:06:20.219 --> 0:06:24.459 From the fronts of Baltimore's wide receiver supporting cast Jackson 0:06:24.499 --> 0:06:26.939 threw one of his TVs to wide receiver Nelson Aguilar. 0:06:27.059 --> 0:06:30.179 Last week. Obj was quiet, He's always a threat. Rashad 0:06:30.219 --> 0:06:31.899 Bateman hauled in thirty nine yards. 0:06:31.979 --> 0:06:34.379 Yeah, I finished. You know, still playoff. Who're not in 0:06:34.419 --> 0:06:37.579 the dance yet, But I'm looking forward to next week 0:06:37.619 --> 0:06:38.859 to be honest with Chiefs. 0:06:38.859 --> 0:06:42.099 Counter with Lugerius Snead who will also stick Flowers hoop 0:06:42.219 --> 0:06:44.339 Doug coming. 0:06:44.139 --> 0:06:47.819 In here about the bed bac and which no man 0:06:47.899 --> 0:06:49.059 at all can play ball. 0:06:49.179 --> 0:06:52.579 He tracks wr ones with the best. Stefan Diggs in 0:06:52.619 --> 0:06:55.979 the divisional game, eight targets, only twenty one yards, only 0:06:56.019 --> 0:06:56.699 three catches. 0:06:56.899 --> 0:06:58.499 If our defense was just as good as a. 0:06:58.419 --> 0:07:01.099 Compets a second d ten almost picked off. 0:07:01.379 --> 0:07:05.219 That was mcduffy who jumped in front dis who's been 0:07:05.259 --> 0:07:09.379 held to only three catches. After Flowers, Jackson usually turns 0:07:09.379 --> 0:07:12.379 to his tight ends. Isaiah Likely scored last week. 0:07:12.419 --> 0:07:17.219 Jackson Enzon likely for the touchdown. 0:07:17.059 --> 0:07:20.539 And there's a chance tight end Mark Andrews returns from injury. 0:07:22.139 --> 0:07:24.619 That would be huge if he did six touchdowns in 0:07:24.659 --> 0:07:27.139 his ten games. Can't hurt to have an elite pass 0:07:27.179 --> 0:07:28.379 catcher added to the mix. 0:07:28.459 --> 0:07:32.099 Right leak at barside complete Andrews having across midfield, down 0:07:32.139 --> 0:07:32.699 the bars. 0:07:32.459 --> 0:07:35.259 Sideline along at a way the maliant forty yard line. 0:07:35.339 --> 0:07:38.859 Chiefs pass defense was tough on tight ends, held him 0:07:38.899 --> 0:07:41.619 to an eighty seven point five rate this season, seventh 0:07:41.659 --> 0:07:42.499 lowest defense. 0:07:42.499 --> 0:07:45.219 Start off a little slow and then they picked it up. 0:07:45.259 --> 0:07:46.299 I'm so proud of them and. 0:07:46.339 --> 0:07:47.259 The job that they did. 0:07:47.379 --> 0:07:49.899 Spags had a great game plan. The pass rush. 0:07:49.939 --> 0:07:53.819 Sitch Lamar was sacked three times by the Texans second down. 0:07:53.699 --> 0:07:56.499 In nineteen and down goes Jackson again. 0:07:56.459 --> 0:07:59.179 Two of them right before the half, so not super damaging. 0:07:59.499 --> 0:08:02.659 Jackson didn't fumble, hasn't lost a fumble in a long time. 0:08:02.819 --> 0:08:08.619 Ball security not an issue for him this year. Kansas 0:08:08.659 --> 0:08:11.459 City's pass rush, with the second most sacks for the season, 0:08:11.579 --> 0:08:14.819 didn't have one last week, though, and only hit Allen twice. 0:08:15.139 --> 0:08:16.299 Guy can he get home? 0:08:16.619 --> 0:08:16.819 Yeah? 0:08:16.859 --> 0:08:19.979 Two? Yeah, I can be so good again. 0:08:20.299 --> 0:08:24.659 Chiefs Chris Jones, George Parloftis, Charles o'menahu, Mike Dana between 0:08:24.779 --> 0:08:26.579 six and a half and ten and a half sacks 0:08:26.659 --> 0:08:29.139 each for them this season. Kansas City got away with 0:08:29.219 --> 0:08:32.059 a win without much pressure while giving up more points 0:08:32.139 --> 0:08:34.819 than normal on defense because their offense are erupted for 0:08:34.899 --> 0:08:37.899 twenty seven points. Casey may have had its issues in 0:08:37.979 --> 0:08:40.539 twenty twenty three, but when they put up twenty five 0:08:40.619 --> 0:08:43.899 plus points eight to no including the playoffs. 0:08:43.499 --> 0:08:46.339 Toney, that's what we get in all day, Toney toutsdown 0:08:46.459 --> 0:08:48.339 is the rentality Tondy all day. 0:08:48.459 --> 0:08:50.499 Putting up twenty five on Baltimore is going to be 0:08:50.539 --> 0:08:53.619 a challenge. Ravens faced the number one QB in passing 0:08:53.699 --> 0:08:57.699 yards per game for the year. Last week. Baltimore held CJ. Stroud, 0:08:57.779 --> 0:09:00.099 who came in hot to one hundred and seventy five yards, 0:09:00.179 --> 0:09:03.259 no touchdowns, just five point two yards per attempt, a 0:09:03.299 --> 0:09:04.099 low seventies rae. 0:09:04.579 --> 0:09:08.339 You know all these Purple jerseys in the physicalness in 0:09:08.419 --> 0:09:10.779 which they arrived, I mean they are pounding on him, 0:09:10.819 --> 0:09:13.219 and you got Hutchinson just doing everything he can to 0:09:13.499 --> 0:09:14.699 squeak out any kind of. 0:09:14.779 --> 0:09:17.619 Yarded their divisional round showing akin to how they played 0:09:17.699 --> 0:09:20.779 quarterbacks all year. They were either the top secondary this 0:09:20.899 --> 0:09:22.819 season or co champs at the very least. 0:09:23.219 --> 0:09:27.059 Off the deflection, the Ravens have the pick Brandon Stevens 0:09:27.139 --> 0:09:28.739 on the right spot and he's running with him. 0:09:28.939 --> 0:09:31.499 Chiefs offense trying to Dent, the number one defense in 0:09:31.539 --> 0:09:34.419 points per game allowed for the season, held Houston to ten. 0:09:34.779 --> 0:09:37.619 They didn't give up a single TD five straight. No 0:09:37.779 --> 0:09:39.779 team has scored twenty points on Baltimore. 0:09:39.859 --> 0:09:44.419 Tunka by lower high throw intercepted by Gino Stone. 0:09:44.739 --> 0:09:48.619 Ravens secondary will primarily be focused on two casey pass catchers. 0:09:48.699 --> 0:09:52.299 Travis Kelcey, of course, who has two good playoff games 0:09:52.379 --> 0:09:55.019 under his belt now two touchdowns versus the Bills, seventy 0:09:55.059 --> 0:09:57.659 five yards and one heart for the love of his life, 0:09:57.739 --> 0:09:59.459 A lot hairrier than you would have thought, right. 0:09:59.539 --> 0:10:01.299 Travis Kelsey scores that touchdown. 0:10:01.339 --> 0:10:03.939 They showed Jason Kelcey with his shirt off up in 0:10:03.979 --> 0:10:05.859 the sweet chugging a beer. 0:10:06.019 --> 0:10:12.259 I thought the Baltimore's linebackers Roekwan Smith, Patrick Queen's safety 0:10:12.299 --> 0:10:15.939 is Kyle Hamilton. Gino Stone's second toughest in the league 0:10:15.979 --> 0:10:18.059 on tight ends, holding him to a low eighties rating. 0:10:18.179 --> 0:10:19.899 Buyers incomplete. 0:10:19.979 --> 0:10:22.539 That ball came first thing out as soon as it 0:10:22.659 --> 0:10:25.459 arrived in his hands because the Ravens just blew him up. 0:10:25.579 --> 0:10:28.379 Kansas City's wide receivers don't have it any easier either. 0:10:28.619 --> 0:10:32.139 Ravens faced Nico Collins, a thirteen hundred yard receiver held 0:10:32.219 --> 0:10:33.899 him in check to sixty eight yards. 0:10:34.099 --> 0:10:38.099 Stroud tried to fit it in to Nico Collins, broken 0:10:38.179 --> 0:10:39.419 up by Marcus Williams. 0:10:39.779 --> 0:10:44.739 Baltimore's cornerbacks Arthur Mallett, Brandon Stevens, Ronald Darby, Marlin Humphrey, 0:10:44.779 --> 0:10:47.819 who didn't play last week. A nightmare for wideouts this year, 0:10:48.099 --> 0:10:50.739 Baltimore held wide receivers to the third lowest rate for 0:10:50.819 --> 0:10:51.259 the season. 0:10:51.579 --> 0:10:55.579 Here's a balt tips and nearly picks Rice. 0:10:55.779 --> 0:10:58.139 He went for forty seven yards last week. He had 0:10:58.179 --> 0:11:01.619 a great rookie year. Holves gets twisted around that escapes 0:11:02.419 --> 0:11:05.939 complete sitting for the first down, and it's Rice. Mbs 0:11:06.099 --> 0:11:08.539 also hauled in a big catch versus the Bills, sixty 0:11:08.579 --> 0:11:10.019 two yards going with. 0:11:10.019 --> 0:11:12.619 A long ball. What a catch mvs. 0:11:12.859 --> 0:11:15.539 Mahomes would take similar protection. The Bills didn't make it 0:11:15.619 --> 0:11:17.899 home to see him once and they only hit him twice. 0:11:18.019 --> 0:11:19.339 Here they come on second at eight. 0:11:20.939 --> 0:11:23.019 He's able to get ahead of him and go down 0:11:23.099 --> 0:11:26.179 the field and connects. Buffalo's pass rush was fourth and 0:11:26.299 --> 0:11:29.459 sacks for twenty twenty three too. The Ravens pass rush 0:11:29.539 --> 0:11:32.979 he faces didn't sack Stroud once, but their front factored 0:11:33.019 --> 0:11:35.699 into that game. They pressured him a whopping fifty four 0:11:35.779 --> 0:11:37.699 percent of the time. That's a fat number. 0:11:37.819 --> 0:11:42.259 Here's pressure by ball left Stroud on third down has 0:11:42.379 --> 0:11:43.099 to throw it away. 0:11:43.259 --> 0:11:45.619 They were the bad Kings in twenty twenty three. Three 0:11:45.699 --> 0:11:49.979 guys with nine plus sacks Kyle Vanoy, Jadavian Clowney defensive tackle, 0:11:50.179 --> 0:11:51.659 Justin Madubique. 0:11:51.299 --> 0:11:54.779 Tuka bay Lola pump fake and he is sacked by 0:11:54.939 --> 0:11:56.419 Matabek Ravens. 0:11:56.539 --> 0:11:59.179 Run defense not a strength in the regular season held 0:11:59.259 --> 0:12:02.139 Devin Singletary, a dude hitting at four point five plus 0:12:02.219 --> 0:12:05.059 over his last five to six games two point two 0:12:05.139 --> 0:12:07.579 a run just twenty two yards round game. 0:12:07.499 --> 0:12:09.099 Has been non existence. 0:12:09.419 --> 0:12:12.259 Rub Kwan Smith got through to make that stop at. 0:12:12.219 --> 0:12:13.059 A loss of three. 0:12:13.379 --> 0:12:16.139 Now they take on Isaiah Picchecko, who went to work 0:12:16.179 --> 0:12:19.539 on Buffalo's defense. Ninety seven yards six point five a run, 0:12:19.619 --> 0:12:23.899 a touchdown. Jaco is a beast, run so hard, looks 0:12:23.939 --> 0:12:26.459 like he's trying to run through a brick wall every handoff. 0:12:26.619 --> 0:12:30.379 Here's Pacheco into the secondary and letting. 0:12:30.179 --> 0:12:31.099 Down the sideline. 0:12:31.339 --> 0:12:33.659 Mahomes legs can't be ignored. He was the king of 0:12:33.699 --> 0:12:35.619 the scramble. First down, this season. 0:12:35.539 --> 0:12:38.179 The homes A couple of times he's able to fake 0:12:38.219 --> 0:12:40.299 as if he's going to give it up to Bell, 0:12:40.419 --> 0:12:42.379 and he keeps going kicking games. 0:12:42.499 --> 0:12:45.219 Chiefs Harrison Bucker two for two last week, six for 0:12:45.339 --> 0:12:46.259 six in the playoffs. 0:12:46.499 --> 0:12:49.939 Doctor nails a top one into the win of forty 0:12:49.979 --> 0:12:51.499 seven yards to tie the game. 0:12:51.819 --> 0:12:54.259 Justin Tucker also two for two last week. He hit 0:12:54.299 --> 0:12:55.419 from fifty three yards. 0:12:55.579 --> 0:12:59.499 Fifty three yards on a windy day. He's so good. 0:12:59.819 --> 0:13:03.139 Chiefs seven and two as the road team, Ravens seven 0:13:03.179 --> 0:13:05.059 and two at home with at the Helm. 0:13:05.099 --> 0:13:08.059 We're excited for the opportunity, but we're Reggie and we're mad. 0:13:08.459 --> 0:13:09.419 You know, we got a lot to prove. 0:13:09.539 --> 0:13:12.259 Chance it could rain temp In the mid forties, Baltimore 0:13:12.299 --> 0:13:14.979 and Kansas City have faced only once in the playoffs. 0:13:15.259 --> 0:13:18.739 Remember this one twenty ten Baltimore thirty to seven win. 0:13:18.979 --> 0:13:21.779 Joe Flacco, Terrell Suggs, ray Lewis, good time. 0:13:21.859 --> 0:13:22.979 Would you rather be right. 0:13:22.899 --> 0:13:23.459 Here right now? 0:13:23.579 --> 0:13:25.859 Right? Ah? Let me do it, Nan, Let's do it 0:13:26.179 --> 0:13:26.539 right here. 0:13:29.179 --> 0:13:33.579 You're built for this, You're built for this, man, and 0:13:33.659 --> 0:13:34.539 look what you gotta do. 0:13:34.579 --> 0:13:36.779 If you went out there and then what it's another 0:13:37.259 --> 0:13:38.779 hot team that we knocked off. 0:13:39.619 --> 0:13:42.179 The Detroit Lions are knocking on the door of the 0:13:42.259 --> 0:13:44.979 Super Bowl for the first time since nineteen ninety one. 0:13:45.219 --> 0:13:47.259 That's wait, a mount up Man, that's not it. That's 0:13:47.299 --> 0:13:49.299 a that's a difficult team to beat. 0:13:49.379 --> 0:13:49.539 Man. 0:13:49.739 --> 0:13:50.619 And there's the snap. 0:13:50.659 --> 0:13:53.099 Blitz comes may feel back low, its goes pick up 0:13:53.259 --> 0:13:55.099 Lions hit by the Lions. 0:13:55.219 --> 0:14:01.259 Hit the Lion. Derek Park, Derek Barks, Dirk Barks. Maybe 0:14:01.379 --> 0:14:04.419 one thirty three to go the Lions uck. Oh, it 0:14:04.499 --> 0:14:06.419 doesn't effort. That's god, that's two. 0:14:06.859 --> 0:14:07.779 All right, that's two. 0:14:08.299 --> 0:14:10.739 We got two to go with the buy in the meddle. 0:14:13.539 --> 0:14:15.539 They head west this week to take on the San 0:14:15.579 --> 0:14:18.699 Francisco forty nine Ers in the NFC Championship Game for 0:14:18.779 --> 0:14:20.739 the third time in a row four of the last 0:14:20.819 --> 0:14:21.579 five years now. 0:14:22.139 --> 0:14:24.859 A shot gun take trout Prussia gets chased out to 0:14:25.019 --> 0:14:25.699 us like we'll. 0:14:25.579 --> 0:14:28.819 Throw on the run back medal and is in accepted. 0:14:29.259 --> 0:14:29.779 Go down. 0:14:29.979 --> 0:14:33.779 Drake Ringla and the forty nine Ers will host the NFC. 0:14:33.659 --> 0:14:35.419 Title Game next Sunday. 0:14:35.739 --> 0:14:36.459 Unbelievable. 0:14:36.619 --> 0:14:37.499 Unbelievable. 0:14:37.659 --> 0:14:39.779 These two teams did not play each other this year. 0:14:39.899 --> 0:14:43.819 That's fantastic. Makes this matchup that much juicier Mountain of 0:14:43.859 --> 0:14:46.499 good matchups to get through. You can agree disagree with 0:14:46.619 --> 0:14:49.979 the order add subtract in the comments section. First up, 0:14:50.059 --> 0:14:54.659 Christian McCaffrey versus Detroit linebackers Alex Enzeloni, Derek Barnes, Jack 0:14:54.739 --> 0:14:58.139 Campbell forty nine ers offense operated on an eight thirty 0:14:58.219 --> 0:15:01.539 two run pass split for this season. Oh, Christian's unbelievable. 0:15:01.699 --> 0:15:03.339 He told me I'm coming out that that play was 0:15:03.339 --> 0:15:04.699 gonna score Hi formation. 0:15:04.899 --> 0:15:08.339 Charleston McCaffrey, big hole and he runs out across the 0:15:08.419 --> 0:15:16.379 thirty bricks at tackle is gone touchdown, Say damn same. 0:15:16.899 --> 0:15:19.619 So that makes the Lions top defensive priority. And there 0:15:19.659 --> 0:15:21.779 are a lot of them. But it starts with CMC 0:15:22.099 --> 0:15:25.059 San Francisco now eleven and one after last week when 0:15:25.059 --> 0:15:33.619 he runs for seventy five plus yards at last week 0:15:33.739 --> 0:15:36.699 versus Green Bay almost one hundred yards over five yards 0:15:36.739 --> 0:15:38.179 per carry, two touchdowns. 0:15:38.459 --> 0:15:42.779 Kathleen McCaffery stars fully leaders in front. 0:15:43.219 --> 0:15:45.699 McCaffrey dubbed the top running back of the year. He 0:15:45.899 --> 0:15:46.859 was first team All Pro. 0:15:47.179 --> 0:15:50.699 There is absolutely nowhere to go, squorts through and takes 0:15:50.739 --> 0:15:52.299 it all the way down to the goal line. 0:15:52.699 --> 0:15:53.499 Hey be mad that. 0:15:56.259 --> 0:15:58.619 The Lions have not fared well against backs in their 0:15:58.619 --> 0:16:01.299 two postseason games. Gave up four point seven to carry 0:16:01.339 --> 0:16:04.019 to LA's Kirn Williams, then last week gave up six 0:16:04.259 --> 0:16:06.459 point one to run to Rashad White gave up four 0:16:06.499 --> 0:16:09.099 point eight to carry to Chase Edmonds. Didn't hurt as 0:16:09.139 --> 0:16:11.939 bad because the two only combined for thirteen total carries, 0:16:11.979 --> 0:16:14.219 but they will see much more than that this week. 0:16:14.219 --> 0:16:17.299 Stop defeat start up good runner Sean White. 0:16:17.499 --> 0:16:20.659 Detroit was third in yards per carry allowed for twenty 0:16:20.739 --> 0:16:23.819 twenty three. Anzelone one hundred and twenty nine tackles for 0:16:23.899 --> 0:16:25.739 the season. Campbell almost had one hundred. 0:16:25.899 --> 0:16:30.539 They handed Jacobs again and that did war plays made 0:16:30.619 --> 0:16:31.659 by Anzeloni. 0:16:32.019 --> 0:16:34.379 They have to play McCaffrey in the passing game as well. 0:16:34.499 --> 0:16:36.779 He was the safety val versus the Packers. He went 0:16:36.859 --> 0:16:40.099 for five hundred plus receiving yards this season. Purty targeted 0:16:40.179 --> 0:16:42.619 him twelve times last week, far and away the most 0:16:42.659 --> 0:16:45.619 of any player, only thirty yards, but better than taking 0:16:45.699 --> 0:16:46.059 a sack. 0:16:46.179 --> 0:16:49.219 Gets through the edge and taxing around. Good hard work 0:16:49.259 --> 0:16:50.019 for McCaffery. 0:16:50.299 --> 0:16:53.259 Both run games huge in this contest, but can anyone 0:16:53.339 --> 0:16:56.499 see Detroit advancing without Jared Goff having a good game 0:16:56.619 --> 0:17:00.419 at number two Goff versus San Francisco's secondary. Goff has 0:17:00.459 --> 0:17:02.819 been on fire in the playoffs. He's had one hundred 0:17:02.819 --> 0:17:04.979 plus right games in three st eight two hundred and 0:17:05.019 --> 0:17:07.419 eighty seven yards versus Tampa Bay A raiding over one 0:17:07.499 --> 0:17:10.899 hundred two touchdowns, no picks bad. What a play by 0:17:11.099 --> 0:17:11.819 Jared Goff. 0:17:11.899 --> 0:17:13.459 He was gonna get thrilled. 0:17:13.619 --> 0:17:16.899 He knew it, he understood it. He didn't flinch at 0:17:17.099 --> 0:17:20.259 all and delivered a strike on that big third death play. 0:17:20.619 --> 0:17:22.899 Goff has had as good a year as he's ever had. 0:17:22.979 --> 0:17:25.819 He guided Detroit's offense to the fifth most points per game, 0:17:25.939 --> 0:17:29.259 third most yards per game. That offense stacked up against 0:17:29.259 --> 0:17:32.259 the San Francisco defense, third in points per game allowed. 0:17:34.219 --> 0:17:39.259 Whoo whooa forty nine ers defensive strength stopping the pass. 0:17:39.339 --> 0:17:41.659 They were a top five secondary in twenty twenty three. 0:17:41.859 --> 0:17:44.499 Last week versus a very hot Jordan Love held him 0:17:44.579 --> 0:17:47.419 under two hundred yards, under six yards per attempt, picked 0:17:47.499 --> 0:17:49.579 him off twice, low seventies rating. 0:17:49.459 --> 0:17:53.899 Third and eight Love fir and end zone. Not to wait, 0:17:54.099 --> 0:17:57.699 it's incomplete. Sharfarius Ward with the big play. 0:17:58.179 --> 0:18:02.019 So how about Rock Perdy versus Detroit secondary. Perdy was 0:18:02.099 --> 0:18:04.659 solid versus Green Bay solid in the he got out 0:18:04.699 --> 0:18:07.139 of the game clean over two hundred and fifty yards, 0:18:07.259 --> 0:18:10.539 no picks, one touchdown, an eighty six point seven rating, 0:18:10.779 --> 0:18:13.139
