Summary

In this episode, Evan Cohen, Jason McCourty, David Dennis Jr., and Mike Tannenbaum debate if Joe Burrow's season is a failure if the Bengals miss the playoffs. Plus, we decide which team we trust more in the postseason: the Lions or Vikings? The crew tells us if "Chiefs fatigue" is real as they seek out their third straight Super Bowl. Joey Galloway joins us live from the Rose Bowl to tell us if Ryan Day's job is on the line and which team is under the most pressure to win today. And, we debate who should want a reunion more: the Dallas Cowboys or Mike McCarthy? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
