Q & A

  • What were the scores of the AFC and NFC championship games?

    -The Chiefs beat the Ravens 17-14 in the AFC Championship game. The 49ers beat the Lions 34-31 in the NFC Championship game.

  • What was the big storyline from the AFC Championship game?

    -The Chiefs defense, led by coordinator Steve Spagnolo, dominated the Ravens offense and MVP Lamar Jackson. They held the Ravens to just 10 points after the first quarter.

  • Why did the Lions lose in the NFC Championship game?

    -A combination of fluky plays going against them, like a deflected pass turning into a 49ers TD, and some questionable playcalling decisions by head coach Dan Campbell late in the 4th quarter.

  • How does Patrick Mahomes compare to Tom Brady's first 6 seasons as a starter?

    -Mahomes has a better record (72-22 vs 70-24), more playoff wins (14-3 vs 12-2), more AFC titles (4 vs 3), and a better TD-INT ratio (258-69 vs 167-87) than Brady did in his first 6 seasons.

  • What was an impressive part of Mahomes' leadership this season?

    -He never publicly complained about his inexperienced wide receivers even when they struggled, which helped keep their confidence up going into the playoffs.

  • Why didn't Lamar Jackson play well?

    -The Chiefs defense confused him all day, he was consistently late leaving the pocket, and he missed a lot of open receivers. He also threw a terrible interception in the 4th quarter.

  • Will the 49ers win the Super Bowl this time after losing 2 years ago?

    -It's hard to say. This 49ers team has more offensive weapons like Christian McCaffrey. But their defense still looks vulnerable at times. It could go either way against the Chiefs.

  • What's going on with veteran coaches Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll?

    -Both are currently unemployed after leaving/being fired from their long-time teams in New England and Seattle. Their age and desire for control seem to be hindering them from finding new jobs.

  • Who does the show predict will be the next coach of the Washington Commanders?

    -It sounds like they expect Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator, to get the job.

  • Who was named the "who's back of the week?"

    -Hank chose college basketball returning after football season. Big Cat went with LeBron James after a big Lakers win. And PFT said Bill Belichick, who is still influencing things behind the scenes.
