This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on, everybody?

Welcome back to an all new episode of the Pack A Day podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. You know my guest, Mike Wall. You can find him on social media at Mike Wall 68, process to perform in right here on the Packaday podcast channel as well. If you missed us yesterday on the live show, make sure to check that out. A lot of great conversation with Mike yesterday, but wanted to break down this game a little bit further. So you get double doses of Mike and I today, Mike. I know I asked you yesterday, but how are you doing, my friend? Yeah, I feel just the same, Andy. I feel just the same. It's been a, it's been a long 24 hours, but here we are. I'm glad that nothing has changed in the last 45 minutes or so,

and that I didn't say anything to make things any worse.

So that's a good sign.

Let's start.

Actually, I want to start here.

You obviously played in the league for a long time.

Injuries are definitely a part of the sport.

We experience it on a week-to-week basis.

Yesterday was a extra brutal one in the NFL with both Patrick Mahomes and Michael Parsons.

Two of the greats in the league going down with ACL injuries,

which knocks Casey out of the playoffs in the process.

No more Patrick Mahomes.

I don't know if you saw this, by the way, super aside.

First time since 1998 that one of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Patrick Mahomes will not be in the playoffs.

The first time since 1998.

That's a big chunk of time. But I digress.

How does a team deal with an injury, the magnitude of that of Micah Parsons?

Well, that's the billion-dollar question, isn't it?
