I'm Mark VanderMeer. Welcome to the show. Sometimes 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: I forget to remind people who we are because I figure, well, 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: you guys know, come on, we're here every night at six. 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: You know how it goes. Next week we'll be at 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: the Combine. It'll be cool and we'll set that whole 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: scene for you later. But I can I do a 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: little therapy here for a moment before we break into 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: night's main topic. Johnny, I got postseason itis in the 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: worst way. I think that this is the most disappointed 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: or it's just been the toughest season. 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: To get over in a long time. 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to rank them, but this is up 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: there with anything because of how close it was, of 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: the opportunity. I don't even have to tell Texans listeners 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: because of this. 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: You know why, it's really difficult. 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: Now. 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm optimistic and really grateful that we have the future 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: we have. I really think that this team has a 24 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: number of good years right in the crosshairs here where 25 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: you can make another run, another big threat to do 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: that again and eclipse that. 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 2: Of course, get over that hump. 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: I'm really optimistic about that, But at the same time, 29 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: it's just hard for me to sort of let go 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: of what just happened, more than usual usually two three weeks, 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: four weeks into the postseason, I'm good, let's go, and 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: I am all about twenty twenty six. Yet I still 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: feel a little bit of a pull, you know what 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And tonight I think will help with that 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: therapeutic getting over the twenty twenty five season and really 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: getting on to twenty twenty six as we hit the 37 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: combine next week, you know what I'm saying. 38 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 4: I've had the same feeling when I was at the 39 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 4: Senior Bowl. I've ran in to Nick and a few 40 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: other Texans employees and it just felt like we were 41 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 4: gonna be there anyways, but it just felt like we 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: should be flying back tonight to get ready for practice 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: on Wednesday and then start getting ready for the Super Bowl. 44 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 4: And we just kind of, you know, had that feeling. 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 4: And you know, it's funny, Mark, because we're not alone. 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: I happen to be at the Senior Bowl and Joe 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 4: Brady got hired by the Bills, and so I was 48 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: curious of what they thought. So I called our buddy 49 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 4: soaka Paco, and so I was talking to Sala, and 50 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 4: he had the same feeling. He's like, we should be 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: we should have been down in Houston playing you guys yesterday. 52 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 3: Because I talked to him on that Monday. Yeah, He's like, 53 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: we should have been in Houston playing you guys. It 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: was as simple as that. 55 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: The two teams he you know, he said it that 56 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 4: the two better teams didn't win and those division around 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: playoff games. I think what exacerbates it in my mind 58 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: is the fact that you watch the Patriots in the 59 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 4: Super Bowl and they were hardly competitive. Yeah, and it 60 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 4: was like that team should have never beaten us. And 61 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: I remember saying to my wife before we left for 62 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: that game, playing the Patriots, I don't know how they 63 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: can beat us. And I left out the biggest point, 64 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 4: and that is as long as we don't beat us, 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 4: and we beat us that day, and that's why the 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: one thing that gives me a little bit of not 67 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: I don't want to say feel good about it, but 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: I do feel like the Seahawks were gonna win that thing. 69 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 4: Regardless of who they've played. The Seahawks are played really 70 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 4: good football. Their defense is not as good as ours. 71 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 4: I don't think they think it is best. Fine, it's 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: a great defense. There are three great defenses in the league. 73 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: Three of them got to the final eight, the Broncos, 74 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: the Seahawks, and our defense, and the Broncos were felled 75 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: by a broken legs I think a bo Nicks plays. 76 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: I don't think the Patriots have a shot of beating them. 77 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: We were felled because we made too many mistakes in 78 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: that game against the Patriots. But I don't know that 79 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 4: anybody is beating the Seahawks the way the Seahawks were playing, 80 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: how hot they were. 81 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: Just having to go through. 82 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: Go through San Francisco the way that they did, and 83 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 4: they go through Los Angeles the way that they did 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: in the NFC Championship game, this gonna be very difficult 85 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: to beat Seattle. 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: Not to say that I wouldn't have loved the shot at. 87 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 4: It, because I don't think we played exceptionally well in 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 4: the Monday night game there and we lost by eight. 89 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, we would have had a shot but. 90 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 4: I still feel like, you know, I think it was 91 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 4: the Seahawks year, and so I kind of soothed myself 92 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 4: with that thought, I'm not signed it, but I'm with you. 93 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 4: It took me a long time to get over this. 94 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 4: And everybody that I've talked to that works in a building, 95 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: that was on that plane ride home from Providence, that 96 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 4: was involved in this team in some way, shape or form, 97 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 4: had a very similar feeling. We should have still been 98 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: playing in that AFC Championship game. 99 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: We should have been in that super Bowl. It's been 100 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: a very. 101 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: Across the board, almost one hundred percent unanimous that should 102 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: have been us, and it wasn't. And so I think 103 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: this because the hard part, how do you make sure 104 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: that doesn't bleed into twenty twenty six. 105 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 3: I'll tell you leave that at the door. 106 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: Make sure it doesn't, you know, make sure twenty twenty 107 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 4: five is done, it doesn't bleed into twenty twenty six, 108 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: and you become the team. 109 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: You're supposed to be. 110 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: Well, you got to get off to a better start, obviously, 111 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: that's true. That's gonna help. I know, they overcame the start, 112 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: and then some I mean, who would a thunk it? 113 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: You know, when we were sitting there at zero and three, 114 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: What did I say, get me to six and six 115 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: and we'll take it from there. 116 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: Maybe you can get to ten and get in. 117 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Maybe, but they got to twelve right And by the way, 118 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: the only other time I felt this bad after a 119 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: season was twenty twelve, the last time they won twelve, 120 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: because that was another one, and that was even worse 121 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: because you had to go two and two down the 122 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: stretch to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. 123 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: We're talking about home field advantage. 124 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: And then the Ravens get to the Super Bowl and 125 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: you blasted them that year at home, but they're the 126 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: ones who gets to the Super Bowl and they win 127 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: it against the forty nine ers. I think that year 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: was even more disappointing than what happened this year. This 129 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: year was disappointed because, yeah, you were on the road, 130 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: but you felt like you should have beaten the Patriots. 131 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: We all know and look going to Denver. 132 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: If they had lost to Stidham, I mean, I wouldn't 133 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: have been happy about it, but I would have said, Okay, 134 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: you lost to Stiduam, but at least you got to 135 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Game. 136 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: That's right right, because. 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: To me, I always felt like, when is the play 138 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: by play call gonna happen? When I make that call, 139 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: when I have that moment and tears are going to 140 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: roll down my face. And I thought I always thought 141 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: it would be the AFC Championship Game. Getting to the 142 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: super Bowl would be so good, and I think it 143 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: will be. But now I'm thinking, we get by the 144 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: division round, I'm going to feel some emotion getting through 145 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: that round and getting to the AFC Championship Game for 146 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: the first time for the Houston Texans and the first 147 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: time in Houston period since nineteen seventy nine. I don't 148 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: know how relevant that is, but it's something. But the 149 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: real relevant situation would be doing it for the first 150 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: time in Texans history. Having said all that, here we 151 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: are and we're gonna have We're gonna put twenty twenty 152 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: five to bed once and for all because the combines 153 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: next week, and we're gonna take one last look at 154 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: the top five moments and memories of twenty twenty five, 155 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: because revisiting some of these is therapeutic, Johnny, it really 156 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: is to let you know some of the moments that 157 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: this team had. 158 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 2: Now this is my top five. Yours could be different. 159 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll share some of these at the very least, 160 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna start out with number six, which is 161 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: an honorable mention. 162 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: But I really think that this. 163 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: Play was as big as any play they made down 164 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: the stretch or during this winning streak. And this is 165 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: game two of the streak at Tennessee, and Johnny, we 166 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: all know what happened. Matthew Wright is your placekicker. You 167 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: had just come from behind to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. 168 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: Where is this going? I don't know, but you're four 169 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: and five. Can you get to five hundred? And there 170 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: you are with the ball in your end with a 171 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: third and very long. Third and very long was a 172 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: theme of the two biggest plays Mills made during that 173 00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: three game stretch. 174 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: He's third and. 175 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: Very long, and here you are in your end, and 176 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll the play for you. I think it's 177 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: honorable mention in the top five. So it's basically number six. 178 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: It's third and sixteen for the Houston forty two marks 179 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: and the backfield Mills and a gun. 180 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: Here's the snap, Davis firing downfield. 181 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: And he's got Nico. 182 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 5: Collins on the sideline at the forty toe tapper, they 183 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: say catch. Yes, what a clutch reception by Nico Collins. 184 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 6: Get to the line of scrimmage and run a play. 185 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 2: Snap this football at the forty one yard line. 186 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 6: Oh, he's definitely in. He can take your time once 187 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 6: I saw the replay, okay with it. He's stuck the 188 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 6: lift and then toe tap the right toe. It was 189 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 6: definitely in. 190 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: And there's andre with the confirmation Nico made the catch. 191 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: The drive continued. Matthew Wright hit the game winner. 192 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: Johnny. 193 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: If they don't convert that third and sixteen and they 194 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: have to punt to Tennessee, I'm not saying Tennessee wins 195 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: the game, but I'm saying it becomes a very dicey situation. 196 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: You could go to four and six, all the joy 197 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: you had from the comeback win against Jacksonville. Now you're 198 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: two games under five hundred again. Mills has to start 199 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: on the short week against Buffalo. How's that gonna go? 200 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: I think it changes everything that you made that play 201 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to Nico. 202 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, it's it's the one. 203 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 4: I just I see it in my mind because that 204 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 4: drives start off with a sack and then we don't 205 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: do much. On second down and now third sixteen, you're thinking, man, 206 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: you know we joke about Mills magic, but man, does 207 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: he in the back of your mind kind of like 208 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: I hope he has some? And then he throws the 209 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 4: best ball that you could possibly throw. It is in 210 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: a cover two. It's just over the corner's hands, like 211 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: the corner is the corner misses like two inches. It's 212 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: in front of the safety, but it's about eighteen yards 213 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 4: deep and it's perfectly thrown, and it's just it's just beautiful. 214 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: It's so gorgeous. 215 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's This is a play I think they gets 216 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: forgotten about because it's against Tennessee. 217 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: It wasn't It wasn't the you. 218 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 4: Know, Kansas City game, in the Buffalo game, you know, 219 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 4: one of the big, you know, primetime games we played 220 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: it said one at Tennessee. It kind of gets lost 221 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 4: in the shuffle. But it's such a hugely important play. 222 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's move into the top five for reel. Now 223 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: number five. I think this is the biggest win of 224 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: the season. And when you look back at the record 225 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: of the opponent, you're gonna say, well, really, but Johnny 226 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: going to Kansas City on a Sunday Night in December. 227 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Come on, this was a white whale type of game 228 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, you had beaten them in the Mahomes era. 229 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: That was twenty nineteen in October, and it was a 230 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: nice win. I'm not taking anything away from that. But 231 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: we all know what happened later on in the playoffs 232 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: that year. And now here you are after what happened 233 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: last year. Two losses, one late in the regular season 234 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: in December, one in the postseason in that building. And yeah, 235 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are not having a good season. They're reeling, 236 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: but this is their last house on the left. This 237 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: is the circle the Wagons game for the Kansas City Chiefs. 238 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: This is the one that's gonna get them back on track. 239 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: And you know, Chris collins Worth in the booth on 240 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: a Sunday night is all too ready to praise Patrick 241 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Mike Tarico. He's there ready for anything. But 242 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: the Sunday Night crew is there and you know what 243 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: they want to see. You know what they want to 244 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: see happen at Arrowhead Stadium, but they're not gonna see 245 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: it because the Houston Texans got the win that night. 246 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I think it's the biggest win of the season, yet 247 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: I can't come up with one play other than this 248 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: one number five and the top five plays of twenty 249 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: twenty five, Top five moments, if you will. 250 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: And it happened at Arrowhead late in the game. Mahomes 251 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: and a goun. 252 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: On second and ten from the Chiefs eight to one back, 253 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: it's hunch Mahomes to throw four man rush. 254 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: Mahomes unloads downfield. 255 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 5: And tipped and intercept it as these Outshire has it 256 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: up the deflection, another pick third of the game for Houston. 257 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: Wow, Chelsea could not hang on as he's got it 258 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 2: hot potato pick and. 259 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 5: The Texans have the ball it Chiefs territory again. 260 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: And I love the Texans social media team coming up 261 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: with hot potato pick as the name of that play 262 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: and Aziz al Shire with the I and T and 263 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: three picks for Mahomes. So the first time in three years. 264 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: It was a glorious night in Kansas City and a 265 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: killed Kansas City. A week later, Mahomes would get hurt 266 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: in the game and they'd be done, dun done, and 267 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: that was it for them. But for the Texans, it 268 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: kept their streak alive. I think it's the biggest win 269 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: of the season, and that's the number five play thoughts. 270 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: Okay, are there any other plays against the Chiefs? 271 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: No? No, no other plays against the Chiefs, because Johnny, 272 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: it was hard for me to come up with. 273 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: Now, the Peatrie hit was a huge play. That's gonna 274 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: live forever. 275 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: My call on it sucked, but that play will live 276 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: forever and it was amazing. But that was one of 277 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: many plays in that game. It was a total team 278 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: effort that game. CJ made some big throws as well. 279 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: I know they had the dull drums for a while 280 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: in the third quarter of that game, but they got 281 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: it going when they needed to in the fourth quarter. 282 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: On offense just enough and the defense with three picks. 283 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: What more can you say? 284 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 4: I think the most underrated play in that game. And 285 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 4: it's funny that it's funny When you texted me and 286 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 4: you said what we were gonna be talking about tonight, I 287 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 4: kind of chuckled because. 288 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: I happen to be on YouTube. 289 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: I think this was I think my wife left on 290 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: Tuesday night, so this is Tuesday night and I got 291 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: on YouTube and one of the things that popped up 292 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: was the last two minutes of the game against Jacksonville 293 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 4: and so I watched that in its entirety, and then 294 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 4: of course it's got associate videos and it's like highlights 295 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 4: the Kansas City game. 296 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, boom, I clicked that. 297 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 4: I watched those highlights and then it was like, I 298 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: don't know, I think it was Jalen Petrie highlights came up. 299 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: I'm like, click those so uh. 300 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 4: But I think the play that gets forgot and there's 301 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 4: so many of them in this year, in twenty twenty 302 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: five that will end up being forgotten because they there 303 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 4: were just so. 304 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 3: Many of them. 305 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 4: But one I was reminded of that in the highlight package. 306 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 4: That's the night to me that Kamari lasted across the country, 307 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: became the equal to many for many with Derk Stingley Junior, 308 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 4: because Kamari had that pick that started the fourth quarter, 309 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: but he had that PBu on the deep ball to 310 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: Taekwan Thornton that Thornton has in his hands and Kamari 311 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: punches it out in the end zone and it's. 312 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: A brilliant play. 313 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the Chiefs really aren't able to move the 314 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: ball much after that, and it's so funny.

They try to keep it even keeled. 340 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: You're definitely gonna be happier after a win. You try 341 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: not to get too low after a loss. But that 342 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: was a happy played ride home. 343 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, you. 344 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: Beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, continuing the winning streak. Anyway, 345 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: let's move on. That was the number five play of 346 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: the year. Let's go to number four here. And this 347 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: is late in the regular season, this is in Los Angeles. 348 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: This is you're playing the Chargers. They're good. They're good. 349 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: You want to keep this streak going, right, You haven't 350 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: clinched a playoff birth yet. The division's going to be 351 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: tough to win. The Jags keep winning while you keep winning, 352 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: and they're. 353 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: Ahead of you. What's gonna happen? 354 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Well, the game basically begins early on with this huge 355 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: play by the Houston Texans, number four on the list, 356 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: third and a long one for the Texans from their 357 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: twenty five yard life CJ out of the shotgun, set 358 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: Woody in the backfield, motion by Kirk to the right, 359 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: Strad puts the leg down. Here's the snap CJ looking 360 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: CJ throwing deep downfield. 361 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 5: And has Haggas at the thirty put twenty put ten 362 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 5: five rock. 363 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,359 Speaker 6: And roll. 364 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 5: Jad Higgins to the end zone seventy five yards. 365 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: Welcome to LA. 366 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful play to start that game for the Houston 367 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: Texans on the scoring sheet. And then he threw the 368 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: other one to Noel. But that way to start a game, 369 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: it reminded us. Reminded us of the Colts game to 370 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: cap the regular season in twenty twenty three, the Week 371 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: eighteen winner take All as far as a postseason bid 372 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: went game at Indy. When you hit Nico Collins with 373 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: the deep ball early, hitting Higgins like that on third 374 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: and one, Wow, what a start to that one. 375 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: You're able to ride that. 376 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: It was almost enough to score two touchdowns early. But 377 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: you were able to ride those into the finish and 378 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: get the win, get to the postseason with the clincher, 379 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: and then you have that game against Indy to round 380 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: out the regular season. But Johnny, I have that as 381 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: my number four player of the year because it was 382 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: a big game in LA and it was a big 383 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: way to start it. 384 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: And the Chargers defense was known for not giving up 385 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: chunk plays the passing game. 386 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 3: They just didn't. 387 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 4: They sat in quarters and they just Nope, you take 388 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: things in front of us, but that's it. 389 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 3: You're not getting behind us. 390 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 4: And then on basically consecutive throws, CJ throws that one 391 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: to Higg and then he throws the other one to 392 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: Jalen Knowle. And it's just always fascinating down a field 393 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 4: level when you s third one and you're like CJ's 394 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 4: throwing this and you realize he's throwing as deep and 395 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 4: you look and I just remember looking at seeing Higgins wide. 396 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: Open, like, oh, he's got him. Higgins is open, and 397 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: then you're not catching Jayden Higgins. 398 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, I like this one. It's a good I'm 399 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: glad you thought this one. This is one and I 400 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: always I tend to forget about for some reason with 401 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: this Chargers game out in LA. Maybe it's because I 402 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 4: remember the Rams game, but that was such a great start. 403 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 4: I think CJ started four to four for one hundred 404 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: and forty five yards and two touchdowns. 405 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: It was something like that to start the game. It 406 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 3: was incredible. 407 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, is he any good? 408 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's what he can do, right, That's what 409 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: this offense can do when it's really click and look, 410 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that every time, and you're not 411 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: gonna get what you had first half of New England 412 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: every time. You want to get it closer to what 413 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: you had against the Chargers. But let's just see what 414 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: they can do here in the offseason and work on 415 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: improving things that way. We continue with the top five 416 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: plays of twenty twenty five as we officially wave goodbye 417 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: to the season. With the Combine starting next week, we'll 418 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: go to number three on the list, and this is Johnny. 419 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: If I have to rank the biggest wins of the season, 420 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: I think Kansas City's number one. 421 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: You could debate that. 422 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo's very close here it's a Thursday night game, obviously 423 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: national television. Here are the Bills coming in. Are you 424 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: going to be able to get to Josh Allen again 425 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: like you did the year before and the year before 426 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: you got to them? Yet it ends up being a 427 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: really close game, and they have to execute so well 428 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: at the end and get Fairbairn set up with the 429 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: long field goal. Boom, you hit it, you win the game. 430 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: Here are the Bills again, and they're fighting. I mean, 431 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: they don't win their division. Eventually, they get to the postseason, obviously, 432 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: but they're fighting to stay in the mix in the 433 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: AFC East, and they got to keep their playoff hopes going, 434 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: their playoff run going. And Josh Allen comes into the building. 435 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: And this is a lot like the Chiefs game in 436 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: that there are so many big plays defensively in this game. 437 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: It's hard to come up with the one you sacked 438 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: them eight times, Johnny. Yet here's Josh Allen at the 439 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: end of the game and they're dead, they are done, 440 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: and then they run the hook and lateral on you, 441 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, you're just thinking one word buffalo 442 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: that is coming. 443 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 2: To mind, like, are you kidding me? 444 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna lose another game with a quarterback pulling a 445 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: play out of a you know what. And it's not 446 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 1: even the quarterback. It's a hook and lateral, so he 447 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: has a part in it. But two other players have 448 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: to do their thing, and now all of a sudden 449 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: they're in scoring range. But you know what happens, I know, 450 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: you know what happens at the end. You get a 451 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: sensational moment here a pick at the end of the 452 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: game and it's fourth down. Somebody's got to come up 453 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: and make a play. Fourth at the Houston twenty two 454 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: yard line. Alan shotgun ty Shotson to his right bunch 455 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: formation a right wide side of the field on fourth 456 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: and sixth at the Houston twenty two orbit motion Shakir 457 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: Alan back to throw, Alan airing. 458 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 5: It out, Alan picked off by Puck. It's over the 459 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 5: text that they're gonna do it. There's a flagged down 460 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: of the secondary. It's against the pills. The Texans pull 461 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 5: it off. They're gonna knocked off Buffalo tonight. 462 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: Wow, Johnny, when you hear that and the crowd going 463 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: crazy and you're thinking it's fourth down, you could lose 464 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: that game. But they won that game and all the 465 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: moments that go into a season. When you look back, man, 466 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: the stress levels involved. No wonder why we love this 467 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: game so much. When you see it come out your 468 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: way over the course of a season, all these huge plays, 469 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: it's incredible. But that was as big as any play 470 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: of the season, really just making a stop. Never mind 471 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: it was a pick. Thoughts on that being the number 472 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: three play? 473 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mentioned earlier the Chiefs game was kind of 474 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 4: Kamari's coming out party for a lot of people nationally. 475 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 4: They knew, I guess, and I know people locally We've 476 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 4: been talking about Kamari for a couple of years. 477 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: The Buffalo game was Kaylan's. 478 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 4: Kaylan ends up going to the Pro Bowl and he 479 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: had a great year, but I think it was that 480 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: Buffalo game where he forced three turnovers, he got the 481 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 4: one deflection off disease for the interception early in the game, 482 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 4: he forced to fumble on Shakir on the third down throw, 483 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 4: and then he came up with that play. 484 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: He was just brilliant all night. 485 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: And that I mean, I think when he makes that interception, 486 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: that was the loudest the stadium was in twenty twenty five. 487 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure about that. They went nuts for the 488 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 4: Togyi touchdown against the Colts, but it felt like that 489 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 4: one beating Buffalo with a number of Buffalo fans in 490 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 4: the stands just knowing what they done to Josh Allen 491 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: that and that capped it off. 492 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 3: I love that one. I'm with you. 493 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: When I did my altar to eleventh for that game, 494 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 4: I didn't know which one to. 495 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: Put at number one. 496 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I just ended up putting all eight sacks 497 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 4: at number one because they were so dominant with a 498 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 4: pass rush. But I liked the Klea interception because there's 499 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: such an incredible reaction to it in Nargy Stadium. 500 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: Well, you think about it. You do all that work 501 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: all night long. If Allen's able to get the ball 502 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: to the end zone to an open receiver, it's over 503 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: and you lost. You lost despite having that kind of 504 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: defensive effort. Now, they've had other defensive efforts that went 505 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: for not also, But can you imagine, you know, it's 506 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: like playing basketball. You know, Jordan's not having a great night, 507 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: but he hits the game winner at the buzzer. Right, 508 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing. Now, I'm not saying Josh 509 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: Allen's Michael Jordan. Just go with me on this a 510 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, Supreme Star, I'm with sport, and you 511 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: were able to come up with the big stop. I 512 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: think that's why that is a huge play. Now let's 513 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: move to number two. This would take us to the postseason. 514 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the playoffs here and it's in Pittsburgh, 515 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: and it's big because there you are with the Steelers 516 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: and the phrase playing with your food comes to mind, 517 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: maybe to some because it's only seven to six and 518 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: you feel like they should be winning big. I mean, 519 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan was in our booth before the game that night, saying, 520 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I think you guys have this one tonight. Easily, just 521 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: get it going with the defense and score a few points. 522 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: You'll be fine. Well, scoring a few points easier said 523 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: than done. Seven on the board and kind of clunky 524 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: an offense, kind of the fumbles and everything, but Fairbarn 525 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: hits a fifty one yard bomb early in the fourth 526 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: quarter to make it ten to six. At the time, 527 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: it felt like a two touchdown lead, but it was 528 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: still only ten to six. Rodgers has the ball and 529 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: you're thinking, you know, it's still Aaron Rodgers, and I 530 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: felt comfortable with the defense, but it ain't over till 531 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: it's over. We're just talking about what Josh Allen did, right, 532 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: He really threatened the situation. So there you are on 533 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,479 Speaker 1: defense facing Rogers. Is somebody gonna come up with a 534 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: big play on that side of the ball. Yes, they will. 535 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: Here's the number two play of twenty twenty five third 536 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: down of twelve Steelers from their forty three empty backfield. 537 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: Three receivers watch side right, metcalf short side left, the 538 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: wide man, and Rogers, tapping his gut, takes the snap. 539 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: Rogers pocket collapsing Rogers, it's gonna go down and the 540 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: ball is out. Who's got it? Rankets picks it up, 541 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: He's on the move. 542 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 5: Thirty twenty five, twenty fifteen, ten five touchdown, Sheldon Rankins 543 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 5: rock and roll, the big guy touchdown. The ball came 544 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 5: out and Sheldon his second touchdown. 545 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: Of the year, and what a huge one in the. 546 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: Postseason, Absolutely mammoth. Rankins TD puts it out of a 547 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: reach for the Pittsburgh Steelers on a night when the 548 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: Texans defense was dealing. Houston would out a couple more 549 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: make it a blowout, but that was seven to six 550 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: going into the fourth Johnny, that was a big play 551 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: at the time. 552 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: That was a massive play, And there's so many things 553 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 4: I love about that play. Obviously, Will's pass rush is tremendous, 554 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 4: but Sheldon Rankins pass rush, he bull rushes Isaac Samlou 555 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 4: and puts samlu on his wallet. But the best part 556 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: of that play is you said the ball comes out 557 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 4: and then Sheldon sees it and he just kind of 558 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 4: reaches in like he's reaching in a box of toys 559 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 4: and he goes, oh, I'll go grab that, and he 560 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 4: picks it up. And then turns it around, starts running 561 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 4: and it's funny. I was saying earlier that I had 562 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 4: watched the Chiefs game, and I'd watched the end of 563 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 4: the Jags game. Uh, and then the highlights of the 564 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: Steelers game came up and that play comes up, and 565 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 4: I know it's coming. I know what's gonna happen. But 566 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: I watched it again and it's your call, and it's 567 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 4: just Rankins has got it because I know at that 568 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 4: point I'm screaming the year Rankins Rankins, and he reaches 569 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 4: in just like he's reaching a box of toys and 570 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 4: just goes, well, I'll take that. I don't know how 571 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 4: he saw it because it's a bunch of bodies and 572 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 4: there's you know, the football, and he did the right thing. 573 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 4: You didn't get down to a knee, he didn't dive 574 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 4: on it. He went and got it and thought I 575 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 4: can do something with this. And when he put that in, 576 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 4: I realized and I knew even at ten to six. 577 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 4: That's why when Kaymi hit that field goal, I felt like, 578 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 4: they can't score on us. 579 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 3: There's no way. 580 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 4: That's why I celebrated that Kaymi hit that off grass 581 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 4: from fifty plus yep, a little bit of cold. And 582 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 4: then when we put when Rankins got that touchdown up, 583 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 4: I was like, they can't score three to finish this game. 584 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: This game is over. 585 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 4: And then of course what he scored, when the Kalin scored, 586 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 4: I like this the number two. 587 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: This is nice. 588 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: It's nice, indeed, and it's the kind of play you 589 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: needed the following week that you didn't get. I will 590 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: never put that loss on the defense, right, but it 591 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: would have really helped the cause for an offense that 592 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: was struggling big time at New England to have the 593 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: defense come up with one of those in the second half. 594 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: But look, that's easier said than done. Obviously, this defense 595 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: has done it so many times this year. We're playing 596 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: some of these highlights right now, which will take us 597 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: to the number one play of the Year for twenty 598 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: twenty five, as we wave goodbye to the campaign for 599 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: good with the combine coming up next week the number 600 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: one play and Johnny's review of my top five plus 601 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: honorable mention any additions he would like to submit to 602 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: the list.

Honorable mention Mills to Collins 611 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: against Tennessee on third and sixteen. That helps set up 612 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: that game winning field goal. My gosh, if they don't 613 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: convert that Kansas City, so many good plays. I picked 614 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: the aziz Al Shier interception off the deflection with Travis 615 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: Kelce trying to haul it in and disease with the 616 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: game ceiling pick. Third interception for Mahomes, first time he's 617 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: done that in three years. Chargers Game seventy five yard 618 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: bomb to Jayden Higgins from CJ. 619 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 2: Stroud to start the. 620 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: Party in La Awesome on a night or a day 621 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: with a clinched a playoff berth Buffalo Thursday night or 622 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium. The fourth down stop the Kaitlyn Bullock 623 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: interception That was the third play of the year on 624 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: my list and second Pittsburgh Monday night playoff football. Will 625 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: Anderson Junior and Rankins shared a strip sack. Rankins picked 626 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: it up, ran it into the end zone. Two score lead. 627 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: Good night Pittsburgh. It was beautiful and the number one 628 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: play of the year. I have it now, Johnny. Here 629 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: it is. I think you know what I'm gonna pick here, 630 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll with it. This is against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 631 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: It's start number one out of three for Davis Mills. 632 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: The Texans fall behind by nineteen. Mills throws an early pick. 633 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: They kind of shake it up, but they can't. 634 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: Move the ball. They're down nineteen and then. 635 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: They start to put together stop after stop and scoring 636 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: drive after scoring drive, and they're driving downfield again. Can 637 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: they take the lead? Oh my gosh, it's third and 638 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: goal from what? From the four? From the seven? 639 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 2: What is it? 640 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: No, it's from the fourteen, which is all too common, unfortunately, 641 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: a Texans distance from the goal line. When you have 642 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: third and double digit yards, This is too bad. Now, Look, 643 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: they've overcome a lot of this stuff. They had a 644 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: tremendous season. But I'm being facetious about that. Here you 645 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: are third and goal at the fourteen. Are you going 646 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: to get this done? Are you going to be Jacksonville 647 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: on this day? Or are you going to go to 648 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: three and six on the season. Well, here he is 649 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, his first start since twenty two, twenty two. 650 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,479 Speaker 1: How would end thirty seven seconds to go twenty nine 651 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: to twenty four? Texans trailing third and goal at the fourteen, 652 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: Mills shotgun marks to his left. 653 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 2: Two receivers watside right. 654 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: Here's the snap, Davis looking, Davis stepping to his left, 655 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: Davis on the run, ten Davis five. 656 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 5: Davis to the corner, Davis touchdown, Hoosten. The Texans take 657 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 5: the lead on the Mills scramble. Amazing Demails gets it done. 658 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: All right there it is Davis Mills with the TV 659 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: run against Jacksonville. We all know the defense made a 660 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: stop after that and got a score. Sheldon Renkins, everybody 661 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: the first of two touchdowns of the year for him 662 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: to cap that game. But Johnny, I think that's the 663 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: play of the year. That's the play that turned everything around. 664 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: And there's so many plays that contribute to a ten 665 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: game winning streak when you include the playoff game, but 666 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: that was the one you want to talk about major 667 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: spark plug to turning around the twenty twenty five campaign. 668 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: That is my submission as play of the Year. 669 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 3: So it's twenty two ten and I'll never forget. 670 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 4: Travis Etn scores and made it twenty nine ten, and 671 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 4: he blasted in. 672 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: I just thought, I. 673 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 4: Remember having this thought of, you know what, we've had 674 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 4: good runs the last couple of years. It just maybe 675 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 4: isn't our year this it's a good team we're playing. 676 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 4: Maybe Jacksonville is better than we think. I remember all 677 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 4: this kind of going through my mind when he scored 678 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 4: and made it twenty nine ten, and you could tell 679 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 4: they were I we had been told that James Gladstone 680 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 4: GM was up in the in the press box and 681 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 4: you know, pumping his fist and doing things that you know, 682 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 4: people were kind of like, well, you know, when you're 683 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 4: having a press box and your media, you're not allowed 684 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 4: to cheer. If you're a GM, you can cheer. But 685 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 4: apparently he was having a good old time, as we 686 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 4: were told, and I just thought, okay, well, you know, 687 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 4: look it's twenty nine ten, and I do math pretty well. 688 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 4: I'm like, it's nineteen it's not outside the run possibility 689 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 4: A couple of eights in a three, but man, we 690 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 4: gotta get going. Then we went and scored, and Higgins 691 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 4: scored and made twenty eight to sixteen, and then Nico 692 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 4: has Nico twenty nine to sixteen. 693 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: The Nico has that. 694 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 4: Catch, the one hander right in front of me for 695 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 4: the two point play, and that got us within eleven. 696 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: And I remember thinking, there's plenty of time. Now, we 697 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 4: just need some stops. And I remember you talked about 698 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 4: this after that game. You talked about it throughout the season. 699 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 4: After that touchdown in the two, Danil Hunter went to 700 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 4: a different level. 701 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 3: He had a game of all games. 702 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 4: He had sack and a TfL and back to back 703 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 4: plays we got the ball back, Dalton has the touchdown. 704 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 4: We missed the two. But now we're at twenty nine 705 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 4: to twenty four. Now anything can happen. So I did 706 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 4: my top five. My top five are actually bookended. There's 707 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 4: a play that that we at the time we talked about, 708 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 4: but I think because other plays became bigger. But Mark, 709 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 4: a lot of people forget at twenty nine to twenty four. 710 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 4: They forget Davis Mills third and long out of his 711 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 4: own end zone, finding Dalton Schultz yep. Coming out of 712 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 4: that north end zone. We get the first down, we 713 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 4: moved down, we score. Then obviously my number one is 714 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 4: the last thirty seven seconds of the game against the Jaguars, 715 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 4: because that meals run happens. 716 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 3: Then you got to defend Cam Little. 717 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 4: And when I was going back and I was watching 718 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 4: that last two minutes of the Jacksonville game, that. 719 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 3: Show showed up on YouTube. 720 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 4: They show they kept showing Cam Little, They kept showing 721 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 4: him like, look. 722 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 3: You just got to get it to the fifty yep. 723 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 4: And people forget people remember that Will Anderson Junior stripsack 724 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 4: that Rankins ran back for a touchdown. But on the 725 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 4: play prior, Trevor Lawrence hit Parker Washington on an out route. Yeah, 726 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 4: at about the forty five yard line. That would have 727 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 4: given Little a shot at sixty two yards. And the 728 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 4: week before I think it was he hit one from 729 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 4: sixty eight. Sixty two is a layup for him. 730 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 3: But they called. 731 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 4: Edoga four hands to the face against Will Anderson Junior, 732 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 4: and he got right up under Will's face mask and 733 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 4: they called it. 734 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 3: Moved it back. 735 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 4: Will got the rush on the next one, forced to fumble, 736 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 4: Rankints caught it in the air and took off, and I. 737 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: Just remember so many things. 738 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 4: I just remember being the locker room in that game, 739 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 4: and there was just a different feeling like, Hey, this 740 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 4: maybe this rejuvenates our season. Maybe this gives us a 741 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 4: kick in the backside that we needed after losing to Denver, 742 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 4: not having CJ. Maybe this gets us going. And that's 743 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 4: why the Tennessee game becomes important because we're in control 744 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 4: of the game. Tennessee's not that good. Then before you 745 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 4: know it, they got a couple of things happening. Cam 746 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 4: Ward happens and it's thirteen thirteen, Like, dang it, we 747 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 4: did all that work against Jacksonville. 748 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: We're just gonna let it like float off in the wind. 749 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: And then Nico makes that play, Matthew right makes the kick, 750 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 4: and we're off and running. So that Jacksonville game has 751 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,919 Speaker 4: so many different moments and a lot that people forget about. 752 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 4: That hands of the face call that was on Will, 753 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 4: that third and ten out of the out of the 754 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 4: north end zone to Dalton. So many big plays in 755 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 4: that Jacksonville game. And I thought, I thought, after reading 756 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 4: what was said after that game was online about the Jaguars, 757 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 4: I was like, they're cooked, They're done. We're not gonna 758 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 4: see them again. And they went on a run just 759 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 4: like we did. They beat the Chargers the next week 760 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 4: thirty five to six, and it was ugly, yes, and 761 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 4: it was like, holy cow, maybe this win was better 762 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 4: than we thought, because maybe Jacksonville's a lot better than 763 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 4: we thought. 764 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: Yep. 765 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 4: And Jacksonville go on and win a division, we'd be, 766 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 4: you know, a game behind, but we'd get in as well. 767 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 4: But man, I'm telling you it that that touchdown Mills 768 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 4: taken off, it was like, I think we forget probably that. 769 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 3: Davis is that athletic. Davis athletic. 770 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 4: Maybe not in the you know, he's gonna hurtle guys, 771 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 4: you know, but he's pretty quick. He moves out of 772 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 4: the pocket. You know, he plays golf. He's a really 773 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 4: good golfer. You know, he does he does good things. 774 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 4: But when he took off, it was like, can he 775 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 4: get in? And I can't see over that other side. 776 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 4: So when he dove, I was basically relying on you 777 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 4: did he get in? And the fans over there and 778 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 4: they all went nuts and you were like David, So 779 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, he got in, Okay, good, Let's 780 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 4: go for two and go up by three because I'm 781 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 4: thinking cam Little can beat us if we don't make 782 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 4: this too well. We didn't make the two because we 783 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 4: dropped a snap that sounds familiar. And then we've defended 784 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 4: cam Little really well and got a little bit of 785 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 4: help with a doga when he went hands to their 786 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 4: face on Will. So that game to me, if I 787 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 4: could go back and jump into one, because it was 788 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 4: I mean, Mark, I was mentally like I thought it 789 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 4: was over. Yeah, I mean, I know a lot of 790 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 4: fans felt that way. But this team never panicked. They 791 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 4: never you know, in that game it was you know, 792 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 4: the Dave's to the interception early, we fumbled the kickoff, 793 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 4: we gave up a pawn return for a touchdown, but 794 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 4: they never gave up. You know, they saved points at 795 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 4: different points in that game too. Remember Stingley's one handed 796 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 4: interception in that game. Thanks for the end of the 797 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 4: first half, Jacksonville is good to get a field goal 798 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 4: and Trevor Lawrence throws to Austin Trammel and sting reaches 799 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 4: out with one hand and snags it. Now, I don't 800 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 4: think we got points out of that, but we saved 801 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 4: three points. 802 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 803 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 3: It was huge. 804 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 4: It was massive and it was such a great physical 805 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 4: play the one hand to reach across and make that 806 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 4: play for Sting. So it was man, it was so 807 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 4: good on so many levels. I know Frank Ross would 808 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 4: not want to go back and relive that game, uh 809 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 4: because I know he was mad about that kickoff return, 810 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 4: as you should be. 811 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 3: But man, that was a really fun day. 812 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: It was a super fun day and all the little 813 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: storylines that you mentioned within the game and then postgame, 814 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: because it's worth bringing up again that Jacksonville didn't lose 815 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: again until the postseason. After that game you mentioned they 816 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: beat the Chargers, they beat the Cardinals, and we were thinking, 817 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: all right, so what they beat the Cardinals out with? 818 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: They beat the Titans, big deal. Then they beat the 819 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: Colts and they killed the Colts because Daniel Jones was 820 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: out for the year after that Jets, so what The 821 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: win over Denver was the one that got me that 822 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: they got December twenty first, thirty four to twenty, and 823 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: I thought, uh, oh, rot Row winning the division might 824 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: be tough because you knew they only had the Colts 825 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: and the Titans left. And this Jags team seems a 826 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: little different, like they're not gonna blow this one. They're 827 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: not gonna lose to the Titans in Week eighteen and allow. 828 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 2: Us to get in. 829 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 1: I think they were down seven to nothing in that game, 830 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: and we were in the booths celebrating because the Texans 831 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: were playing the Colts at the same time, not celebrating 832 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: like it was over. But yes, come on, this is 833 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: the day the Titans rise up and beat the Jacks. 834 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 2: They didn't do it. 835 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: So this sets up twenty twenty six. Baby, here are 836 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: your Jags. Are they the favorites? I would think so. 837 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: They just won the division and the Texans will go 838 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: into the season having a deal with that, having a 839 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: deal with whatever improvements the Colts make. The Titans are 840 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: going to give you a better game, you would think 841 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: than they did, although they gave you a hell of 842 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 1: a game up in Nashville, like we pointed out earlier 843 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: in this show. 844 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 2: So it's set up. 845 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: So many interesting storylines relative to last season and beyond 846 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: one more segment, and look, here we are in the offseason. Yeah, 847 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: you'll watch combine on TV. Yeah you'll watch the draft 848 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: and look forward to that in some basketball, but what 849 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: about your offseason viewing? 850 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 2: ESPN made a major change. 851 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about and some other things in 852 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: the final segment next to here on Texans Radio. All right, 853 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: final journey of the evening. Here on Texans Radio and 854 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. Mark Vandermin and John Harris 855 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 1: with you and Johnny. Here we are on the postseason. 856 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: I told you last night, I've been watching that F 857 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: one Drive to Survive series on Netflix. 858 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely love that. 859 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: So many things that you can kind of dive into 860 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: in the off season because it's not football time, it's 861 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: draft time, it's free agency time. 862 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 2: Soon enough. 863 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: I think we're what sixteen days away? That is awesome, 864 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: er seventeen or sixteen days away from free agency, So 865 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: let's rock with that. But the point is this, you're 866 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: looking for sports and things to watch. I've been watching 867 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: more golf, even my twenty year old son. Yeah that's right, 868 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: vander baby is twenty years old, folks. He called me 869 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: yesterday and said, Dad, you'd be proud of me. I'm 870 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: watching this Genesis Invitational on Golf Channel. I'm like, that 871 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: means you're getting older, son. I hate to break it 872 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: to you. If you're starting to watch some golf in 873 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: the off season, you're getting a little older. 874 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 2: Non majors golf. 875 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: That means you're getting into the weeds here on this sport. 876 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: But did you see that ESPN on Sunday nights? No 877 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,919 Speaker 1: more Sunday Night baseball because the TV contracts have changed. 878 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: The whole landscape is different. In the summer months now, 879 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: or during baseball season when the WUNBA gets rolling, they're 880 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna have women's sports Sundays with WNBA games and the 881 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: National Women's Soccer League on Sunday nights. And a lot 882 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: of people were saying, oh my gosh, what is this look. 883 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest here, I might rather watch a 884 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 1: WNBA game than a lot of baseball games involving teams 885 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: that I don't care about. Okay, I'll watch the Astros. Yeah, sure, 886 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: I'll watch the Red Sox and Yankees to hate watch 887 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: some stuff. Maybe the Dodgers all hate watch. But you know, 888 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 1: if the Brewers are playing the Giants, I might rather 889 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: watch Caitlin Clark. I think I'd rather watch Caitlin Clark 890 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,760 Speaker 1: period over a lot of things. But Caitlin Clark versus 891 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: the Liberty or another Angel Reese matchup, or whatever the 892 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: case is. What are your thoughts on that Sunday Night deal. 893 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when it comes to, you know, watching 894 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 4: teams that aren't my team, I pretty much I want 895 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 4: to watch. I want to watch the stars at their best. 896 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 4: And I think WNBA has got a litany of young 897 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 4: stars between pagebackers, Kaitlyn Clark, Angel Rees, I think there's 898 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 4: so many, and it because they have you know, they've 899 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 4: had these meetups in college basketball. 900 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 3: It's like it's like Bird and Magic. 901 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 4: You know when Bird and Magic back in seventy nine 902 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 4: met for the National Championship. 903 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 3: You know that carried over to the NBA. 904 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 4: And all these great players have met in college, you know, 905 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 4: when LSU played Iowa, when Yukon played LSU, when Ucon 906 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 4: played South Carolina. So they're carrying these rivalries forward and 907 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 4: I and I love that. 908 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 3: So I'm I'm with you. 909 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 4: I love I love watching Kaitlin Clark watching page backers. 910 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 3: I love the way she plays. 911 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 4: You know, Angel Reese is always gonna have something exciting 912 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 4: happen in a game, whether she gets twenty. 913 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 3: Rebounds, fight with somebody. Yeah, So I'm with you. 914 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 4: So it gets interesting if I don't know what I'm 915 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,840 Speaker 4: watching or who I'm And a lot of times in baseball. 916 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 4: I'm going even though I love baseball, there are a 917 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 4: lot of times if it's not you know, you mentioned 918 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 4: the Brewers and the Giants, like I don't know that 919 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 4: I can off the top of my head, I can 920 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 4: name the players that play for either one of the 921 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 4: Brewers of the Giants. Now the Ashers are playing the Brewers, 922 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 4: the Ashers are playing the Giants. 923 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 3: Okay, well, but that's a little different. 924 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 4: Because I'm watching the local team and watching one of 925 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 4: my favorite teams. Okay, that's a little different. 926 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 3: But you're telling me Caitlyn Clark's playing on ESPN. I'm 927 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 3: probably gonna watch that, all right. 928 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: If Caitlyn Clark and Reese are squaring off, right, or 929 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: Caitlin and Becker's or Beckers and Reese, maybe that's not 930 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,959 Speaker 1: gonna carry the same thing. But Caitlyn's involved in some way, 931 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: shape or form against one of the other two, and 932 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: then we can name more players as well. 933 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 2: I think I'm watching that. 934 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: I think more viewers will tune to that than a 935 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: lot of NBA games with names you don't know, you 936 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, NBA, never mind WNBA, NBA. I 937 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: think Caitlyn's gonna attract that much attention as she comes 938 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: back from the injury. Here, I don't even know what 939 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: her latest status is because the season is not ready 940 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: to start yet, but it's going to attract some eyeballs. 941 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, love Houston Volleyball. I can't say 942 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,280 Speaker 1: enough about how entertaining this stuff is. This is really 943 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: entertaining stuff. You have to check this out, folks, and 944 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: love Houston. Next home match is that the Epicenter for 945 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: Ben County against Nebraska on the twenty six, So check 946 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: it out.
