| 0:28.3 | you the top five graded players for every single team in every single matchup, break all of them |
| 0:33.3 | down and figure out why the result happened the way that it did. We'll give you a stat that told the story. We'll give you most impressive, most disappointing. All the stuff that you guys have come to love over the regular season, just amped up because it's the playoffs, baby. Dalton, I know you're, I know you're feeling a little under the weather here. We've got the appropriate amount of distance between the two of us. Don't get any of your germs on this side of the line here. There we go. See you get the directional cough that we have there. I appreciate that. Will you make this the flu game? I'm hoping that this is your Michael Jordan flu game here with this show. I don't know. There's 30% of this. It's the playoffs. You got to step up. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's some part of this that I'm like, just find a way to get through it. |
| 1:13.5 | It's going to suck. |
| 1:26.5 | I'm not going to lie to you. This is going to suck right now, but in the postseason, you've got to get through it. I can hear it in your voice, man.

| 1:29.6 | We still have one more to go. |
| 1:45.0 | Steelers play the Houston Texans tonight on Monday night football, which, don't worry, guys. We will be back with you tomorrow morning for a little abbreviated show.

| 1:47.8 | But Dalton, let's just kick it off. |
| 1:48.5 | Let's get right to it. |
| 1:49.3 | Let's get it in. |
| 1:50.4 | Let's get you out of here. |
| 1:52.9 | Making sure that you have enough time to be able to power through. |
| 1:54.3 | Let's start with Saturday, baby. |
