So let's get right into it. Sunday night football.

2:05.7

We had a phone one last night. It was the Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. Now,

2:12.1

there were, I feel like a lot of just different acts chapters of this game, right? Okay,

2:17.0

like things start out well for New England. Lamar Jackson's playing really well and then Lamar gets hurt, but okay, they start running the ball really well in the second half. Baltimore Ravens get up, but in the end, Patriots win this game, 28 to 24. They clinch a playoff spot there. They are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2021. I tweeted afterwards, you know, good for Patriots fans, right? They've been through so much. It's been such a long time coming. So I'm just, I'm very happy for them finally making the playoffs here. It's just been such a long time coming. So much trauma they've been through. I know. Just so, so much. A long suffering fan base. Four whole years of nothing. I wonder what only four whole years of no results would feel like. I think Jets fans were the most upset about me from that tweet. It was really only three. They made the playoff still in Mac Jones rookie year. Three years off for New England fans. Wow. It's true. Painful. So painful. And now they're back and well, you know what in the AFC, they've got as good a shot to get back to the Super Bowl as anybody. You know, all joking is sarcasm aside. I am excited to see Drake May in the playoffs because this is still one hell of a football team. The top five graded players that we had from Sunday Night Football, wide receiver Stefan Diggs, stepping up when the lights are brightest as he often does. an 88.6 overall great offensive tackle there. Munford with an 88.4.

3:42.3

Edge Rush, Kal and Wayneau, a 79.7. Wide receiver, Kyle Williams, with a 79.4. And then Drake May, 69.9. On Baltimore side of things, tied in Charlie Kohler with an 85.6 overall grade grade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and 82.6 wide receiver's eight flowers a 75.5 safety cowell Hamilton is 744 and then

3:49.3

Ronnie Stanley rounds it out for him at number five with a 74.2 Lamar before he got hurt in this game

3:54.3

he was a bruised back his I think what I saw took a knee in knee in the back. Just took a knee to the back. And that was the official injury designation there for him. He had an 85.6 overall grade before he got hurt. But, um, Dahl, my stats told the story in this game was Drake made deep passing. And it's really been something that has been a theme for them all year long. and why this is the stat that told the story and the most impactful stat for me is because we've talked about here on this show when we went back to his sophomore and his junior year, his last two years at North Carolina. He led the FBS in big time through that time when he was a full-time starter. So we knew that pushing the ball deep down the field, not only the armed talent, but the mentality, the accuracy, the consistency to be willing to do it, was there for Drake May. That's why he's a high draft pick. And last year, he was trying to take in everything, right? As a rookie quarterback, there's so much to learn, there's so much to diagnose. So we didn't see a ton of that last year. This year we have seen a lot of it. But with deep
