Serious XM radio presents in conjunction with House of Athlete, I am athlete tonight.

The bus pull off a late win versus Caroline the Panthers 30 to 24 and lock up a playoff spot in the NSC.

Now Tom Brady, I mean, was cooking especially in the second half. He threw for 432 yards and three long touchdowns to Mike Evans.

Mike Evans becomes the first player in NFL history to begin his career with nine consecutive thousand yard plus receiving season.

Put some respect. Oh my God, Mike Evans name like for most of this season. That has been my question with the books.

Like how does Tom Brady and Mike Evans going from being in, you know, in the same mode and sink all the time to them just looking like they've never practiced before on the field this year.

But they found some of that magic at the right time on T and Pac-Man Jones and they were able to connect 10 times and Evans went for 10 catches 207 yards and those three long touchdowns that we talked about.

This is Tom Boes on talking about reaching the playoffs this year.

Playoffs started clean slate for everybody. You got a three game elimination tournament and doesn't matter where you are to have those games to play tough like we did.

You know, we'll be in the games and we just have to cut down on mistakes in order to win them.

Now, as you look at this game from a hold, I thought it was about to get ugly, right? Carolina was up 14 nothing. Then they went up 2110. I'm like, see, this is why I picked the Carolina Panthers. They're able to run the ball and Sam Donnell had played mistake free football.

This whole year, guys, and then sure enough, that turnover bug rear this early ugly head, you know, Donnell had an interception and then he had two sec fumbles. Now one, the second one definitely wasn't his fault.

Right. The left tackle, Eki Kwan have got beat off the snap and it was at the worst opportune time. It really led the bugs to that turn around and for them to take the lead in that game.

But let me ask you this back. The books one looks like Brady and Evan's got their connection back. But is this a team that can actually make some noise in the playoffs?

I don't know man. The running game is a part.

That's a nice word for what that running game is.

I don't know like who can they beat on that side if you think about it. Like yet they might win one game, but I don't know if they have it on.

I don't know like I don't think they have a deep enough team like the running game is nothing. This is the first game that he's really looked like Brady and happy that was because it was pissed for coverage on the defense of back parts for the Panthers.

I don't know. I don't know if this is a food game or this is I'm a I'm back Brady ready for playoffs game.

Yeah, I'll see what do you think, right? Because the packs point right. We were talking about this off air. Like I don't understand why the Panthers can continue to go man coverage with CJ Henderson on the outside with Mike Evans.

And why they wouldn't even you know lean the safety to that side. If you do go cover one after Mike Evans beat you for two touchdowns long.

But a quarterback gets in sync with the receiver. It's literally like pissing catch for the rest of the game. So you should know that the ball was going to Mike Evans in every critical situation.
