And let us be the last to thank you for tuning in to another NFL season. We start in wet and soggy Baltimore where free Mason Rudolph played inspired ball on January 6th as a Ravens couldn't stop the steal. Urrs. Little Tay Johnson is confirmed he is not dead as he was a sucker for the deep ball scoring a big touchdown to put the stealers up. And Mike Tom Linsanity has lasted 17 years. Pittsburgh is back in the playoffs. Here we go. Steele's. Here we go.

Pittsburgh. in 17 years. Pittsburgh is back in the playoffs. Here we go. Steelers. Here we go. Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl. Steelers 17. Ravens 10. What? What? Over to our first playoff game where I spent last night in the house on a team from India and running a couple hundred miles,

Nico Collins bat, Rouge, Jonathan Taylor made used every club in his bag, but the Texans were extremely strouled and incredibly close to wrapping up an unlikely division title. The game came down to the final play where Tyler Goodson did his impression of Tokate the Orca and lost all control of his flippers when Ursa's team was trying to air it out.

The Jackson's 23, the Colts 19. To a Sunday where the Jacksonville Jaguars were fighting for their playoff lives in the dignity of certain short Italian football writers Tractor Sito, played his last game in 10 a Sito, a mini truck like El Camino, much of the sugar and a small Prisco Pito, Tracked or Sito, Clever Lawrence tried to get the last laugh, but his shoulder wasn't dislocated enough to get the two yards necessary for a late score, and as we learned time and time again, God hates Jags, Titans 28, Jags 20. Over to Ohio where AJ Sopran Orano McCarran never had the makings of a varsity athlete, but he did get in garbage time in this one. Kickbrowning looked really good and stood at her husband as big man on campus Jake Driskel looked like he was on the no fly less when some of his passes. Andre, Yosevus and Putt had showed the brown his score whole Holyo, not once, but twice. As he said, I need TD for my Bengals. On the way to a Bengals 31, 14 win. We head over to Foxboro where we have our reporter Henry Lockwood on the scene. Hank, in a fitting tribute to the weather, James Snow White rang the lighthouse bell today, as the white powder came down and bunches throughout the day in Foxboro. Matthew Kelly Slater in the Patriots couldn't even manage to hang ten points on the feeble jets as Trevor Sivian and the jets road priests are sending a haul to the tune of 178 yards in a touchdown as the jets were hooping hooping hooping all the white powder falling from the sky to celebrate their first victory Versed to England in their last 15 games just 17 patriots three 15 games 16 All right white powder sounds like they could have used Patrick Chong We now had to Philadelphia actually New York Where sad, sad, sad boy Max. We had over the meth life where it's officially time to kill the Philadelphia females. Soon to be unemployed as Nick Steering-Mommy may have to move into his parents' basement after this one. Seek one Tony Starkly dominated the first half and told all the Philadelphia everyone wants a happy ending right, but it doesn't always roll that way Nick sorrow should be apologizing to all of Philadelphia for being the worst fucking player ever play the game I hate the Eagles the Eagles really suck giant 27 equals 10 In the frozen tundra some idiots called this bears the Super Bowl But Jordan love has won as all the cult members up in Green Bay found their new mother god Don Tavy and make a wix wix for 15 more years of Packer domination and his wix look like it's gonna come true As the Bears make some podcasters very sad about their life asking why they even care about this stupid sport to begin with and wouldn't be better better to be dead Packer 17 Bears 9. What? What? Over to Raul John Maryland. It's the end of a Rivera. Reach for common on the sidelines during the game. Coach Ron said. Poldack Prescott has worked on his Cardi B and Cardio throwing some WAP. What has passes and putting it all on a CD? Lamb that is. The Cowboys look ready for the playoffs while people are still asking, are these mother fuckers even real? We may have to send reporter and world renowned not educated person Hank Lackwood down there to investigate the Cowboys 38 the Commander's 10 Standing on a corner James Winston down in Nola such a fine sight to see it's our guys my lord and he wants to score heading off instead of taking a knee. Come on Dennis, why do you win this? Now the Saints will probably bring you back, but you were finished. We nailed that one boom, put some stank on it. Saints go marching 48 17 and that was the fastest two minutes. The last fastest two minutes, the regular season, week 18 brought to you by our friends at Chevy.

So for context, we are taping, we're taping the show. It's fourth quarter of Bill's Dolphins, but because the bills are in the playoffs, it matters a little bit less. Obviously, still matters a lot for the

two seed, but we have our playoffs and we have, should we go through the playoffs schedule with my as well, right? We can go in order. Right now. We'll just say for the dolphins, we don't know if they're going to be playing in Miami next week. Yes. Or if they're going to be playing Kansas City. Correct. As Jeff Darlington pointed out, this is not necessarily matchup of which team you would prefer to play. It's more a matchup of what kind of weather

does Miami want to play? Because it's going to be 70 degrees Miami next weekend and it's

going to be... point out this is not necessarily a matchup of which team you would prefer to play. It's more a matchup of what kind of weather does Miami want to play?

And because it's going to be 70 degrees Miami next weekend. And it's going to be like 15, 20 degrees in Kansas City. It's going to be the Candy Ass uniforms. Yes. The Candy Ass uniforms, they don't travel well or do they are they going to lose horrifically? They don't travel. Yes, so here's what we have and then we will go back through all the games This weekend and tell you how we got here, but we have on Saturday to kick off the wild card weekend super wild card weekend Excuse me The Texans are back where they belong There's there's a whole generation of people that don't know that the Texans always play the Saturday and by whole generation

I mean like kids from the ages of like three to eight. Yeah, it's been too long It was either the Texan spot or the Bengals. I feel like the Bengals play and then remember when they actually played each other Yeah, and that was great collision course Yeah, it was the Marvin Lewis or Houston Texan spot. Yes, so browns of Texans to start Saturday super wildcard weekend Now I should mention this is the classic Texan spot.

This is not the classic Texans,

because it's CJad, because the Texan spot historically was always like which weird Texans quarterback are we can get to watch play football in the playoffs? It was is JJ what gonna score enough touchdowns on defense for the Texans to win this wildcard. Right. But the Texans are playing the first game. Then we have on Saturday night, the peacock exclusive. The Kansas cheese will be hosting the dolphins or the Steelers. Correct. Yes. Jake correct me from wrong or the bills at the same time. Okay. If the game ends at a tie, which is tied right now, Sunday, we have it's going to either be Buffalo at Miami or Pittsburgh at Buffalo. So that will be like whoever whatever team ends up having to go to chicken city, the other team, we'll have the home playoff game on Saturday, just kick off Saturday or Sunday, sorry. And then we have the Green Bay Packers at the Dallas Cowboys, Hank's Dallas Cowboys win the NFC East, which will get all that Sunday night, we have Matt Stafford returning to Detroit. Jake has been creaming his dockers all afternoon about it. The storyline story. This is the storyline game. This game, it's going to be like frame to be a revenge game for Jared golf and a revenge game for Matt Stafford. It's not a revenge game for Matt Stafford. This is the Jared Golf revenge. Yes. 100%. Yes. And there was a moment, Jake did all his predictions. And I love Jake. This is what he lives for, is scheduling. And there was a moment when we'll get to the Bears Packers game where I was just sitting in kind of silence. Just in real, real sad feel bad for myself, like pissed off, just all the emotions, and Jake was like,

maybe three feet away from me, just being like the storylines are incredible, and talking and like guessing the schedule, and I had to recuse myself and go look in the mirror and be like, wow, how did I get here? As a guy that roots for storylines, though, you have to take your hat off to the script writers. Oh, it did a great job. The script is perfect this year, as always.

It would have tripped you to Golden Globe Sunday.

It was one of those moments where I had to take your hat off to the script writers. It did a great job. The script is perfect this year, as always.

It would attribute to Golden Globe Sunday.

It was one of those moments where I had to take myself away because what Jake was doing nothing wrong, it was my bitch-ass self just being like, sad at myself. Well, you were just upset that one of the storylines was gonna be Mike McCarthy against the Packers. Correct. Apologize for asking you the first drive of the game hey big cat do you think the bears and packers have ever played on CBS?

Yeah, that would kill me. Hey, Big Cat, do you think the Bears and Packers have ever played on CBS?

Yeah, that would kill me.
