Connor Rogers and I recap all the drama and controversies from Divisional Weekend,

0:06.7

including Caleb Williams ups and downs and the close call in the Broncos overtime win over the bills.

0:12.3

But first, we react to the breaking news that the bills have fired Sean McDermott.

0:18.2

Chris Sims on Button starts right after this.

0:22.5

And that's what it's about. You know, there's no style points. It's about being able to

0:25.6

survive in advance. And we were able to do that in a tough, hostile environment. And it was

0:29.5

cold as shit today.

0:54.4

Yo, yo, yo, what's up? It's Chris Sims. It's Chris Sims on Button. Yeah, we're here. It's Monday. It's live. It's YouTube. It's 10 a.m. Eastern as always. But we're not in the same place. All right. The dynamic duo has been split up here for a little bit. He's in my usual spot, Studio 6, NBC Sports. Stanford. I'm in the hotel in Chicago still because I was here, like Sean McVey, freezing my ass off last night watching this football game. But it was cool, man. What's up, dude? How are you? Sims, I'm chilling, man. I literally am in your chair in the studio right now as you're still defrosting out there in Chicago. You know what I like about Sean McVeigh is that a lot of coaches, not just players, but coaches, they like to try to defy the cold, hide the cold. Ben Johnson, you watch him holding that play sheet, no gloves, no winter hat. He's got the baseball cap on. Sean McVeigh does not care. He's all about comfort. He's got winter gloves on. He's got a winner hat on. He's got winter sleeves or under armor on. That man just says, listen, I'm not comfortable out here and I'm going to let you know it. Yeah, that's fine. But his team looked comfortable enough. That's all that mattered, right? And there is, you know, hey, when you're Ben Johnson and you're

1:44.3

in Chicago, you're used to this, right? This is a daily thing as far as the weather. For people like the Rams and coming from the West Coast, yeah, it's a shock, it's a shock. But I'll say being on the field pregame and stuff like that, first off, we know they've played in games like this before. They did it last year in Philadelphia where I would say it was even colder and snowier.

2:04.5

So they're... like that. First off, we know they've played in games like this before. They did it last year in

2:01.1

Philadelphia where I would say it was even colder and snowier. So they're battle tested. They have

2:06.1

experience in these type of things. They got a veteran quarterback and a coach that's been there

2:10.6

and done that in just about every type of scenario. And yeah, when I was out there in pregame

2:14.7

warmups, I certainly didn't feel like, oh, the Rams are a little low on energy or, you know,

2:21.1

ooh, they're worried about where their jacket is, right? Those are things you look at sometimes to go,

2:25.0

wait, is this cold weather in these guys' heads? No, not at all. And on top of that, like, you'll appreciate

2:31.1

this. The Rams coaches are, they're a, they're a fun group. I mean, they wear their heart on their sleeves. And even before the game, right, I get a chance to say hi to them, whatever. They're so amped up. They're like players at times. They really are. You're like, hey, you know you're just coaching today, right? You're not playing, right? You're sure about that? Right? But they are so energetic in that,

2:51.4

and it shows with their football team and the energy they have. And that was a big win for them here

2:55.5

in Chicago last night. Yeah, it's a young staff loaded up on testosterone, ready to go. Pretty

3:00.7

awesome to see. We're going to get into that game, of course, Chris. But news that I didn't see
