Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Rotoril football show. I am Patrick Dardy, Thursday, January 22nd, 2026. joined by Denny Carter. Kyle DeVorchick. You saw me flinch on the video. I thought I was muted, but I actually wasn't muted. That's because no one could ever mute this voice. Kyle's been trying to. I'm trying to silence me in the group chat. I don't have that power. Like, as soon as they give me admin powers in this account, mute, mute, mute instantly, speed of light. But for now, I mean, understandably, they won't get with that. Kyle's been suppressing my free speech on the group chat, but that's neither here nor there. There's nothing he can do about it today. When we're going to preview the AFC championship game, the NFC championship game, Rams at the Seahawks, two and a half point home favorites, Patriots at the Broncos, Pat's five and a half point road favorites. Broncos looking for any good news after Bo Nix broke a bone in his ankle, they could get it in the form of J.K. Dobbins's return, but that seems highly uncertain. We have no idea that's going to actually happen. Also, I don't think J.K. Dobbins's return is going to affect the spread too much. So we'll just see what happens. Two really fascinating games. It would have been more fascinating. If O'Nixon not getting injured, but that's neither here nor there. We're going to break down the title tilts from every angle. before we do so, we're going to have to hop back on the coaching carousel.

Mike McDaniel removes his name from Brown's head coach consideration.

That's all the rage of late.

Jesse Mentor has also done that.

We'll talk about that.

To head to L.A., to partner up with Jim Harbaugh, fascinating pairing that will break down.

The Bucks, who cast a really, really wide net for their new offensive coordinator. They've settled on Zach Robinson, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, I believe, correct? Yes. We'll check in on the Browns head coaching search, which is going really well. It's going really, really, really, really well. There are still people willing to coach the Browns, I think.

They're interviewing 28-year-olds.

All the former retreads are turning them down.

But we began where we ended last show, Denny, Buffalo Bills.

Things are going really, really, really well.

Things are going really, really, really well there, too, almost as well as Cleveland.

The bills, I think they needed to fire Sean McDermott. I think they needed to. Things are going really, really, really well there, too, almost as well as Cleveland.

The bills, I think they needed to fire Sean McDermott.

I think they needed to attempt another final piece of the puzzle.

Again, he's just begging up seventh chance.

Just give me a seventh chance and I can fix this.

I swear to God, I'll fix this on the seventh chance.

Everybody. And like, so I don't think anyone would have found firing him in a vacuum too controversial.

When it was paired with not firing GM Brandon Bean, Bill's fans who I've like never heard be so upset about Brandon Bean are not acting like, he's like the devil.

And I hated him all along.

Not definitely just since Sunday when we lost again.
