Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Rotoril Football Show Conference Championship Sunday, January 25th,

2026. Patrick Dardy, joined by Denny Carter, Kyle Dvorchick.

We just witnessed the NFC championship game.

Thriller between the Seahawks and Rams, 31 to 27 Seattle victory.

They're back in the Super Bowl to face an old friend, the New England Patriots who are never not in the Super Bowl.

10 to 7. I saw a lot of people saying, you know, like, there was the class that we wished on a monkey's paw for the chiefs not to finally make a Super Bowl. And it's the Patriots. Because, you know, like, listen, no, Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, the other guy, Josh Allen, one of them's finally going to make it.

Surely the Patriots aren't going to get back with three games.

They're not even good.

And they did.

It's just like, yeah, it's like cosmically unfair that the Patriots are back in the Super Bowl.

It is. It's also very unfair of me to say the Patriots weren't even good.

Three straight defensive masterworks,

essentially for New England.

And three straight games were the elements kind of became the third team on the field,

much,

much more so on Sunday than the first two games on this New England Super Bowl run guys.

But they adapted the conditions a little better than Denver.

But also, unlike Denver, they didn't have their backup quarterback, so it was a little easier to do.

Stiddy thing, went down like a lead balloon.

Who's got initial thoughts on this game?

Just, are you impressed with the Patriots?

They did a lot of impressive things during the three-game run. You know, the scuttle butt, the cope on the internet, like, you're not even good. Like regular seats. Like, I've seen as people say they only beat two playoff teams all year. And then like the fine print. And also three other playoff teams in the playoffs. So like they have now beat five playoff teams all year. But Danny, are you impressed with the New England Patriots to start there?
