Company was also a great show. Great show. Week 15 officially coming to an end. Oh no, where are we going next? The Musketeers? Okay, let's get right to the action for Monday night between the Dolphins and the Steelers. To a Tung of Iloa going up against Aaron Rogers and it was frigid as we well know because we were there. About 10 degrees. And the dolphins made through the first quarter. Yeah, no score. Two looking for Jalen Waddle. Intercepted by Asante Samuel Jr. That ball was just flying through the air, Dan. Yeah, it's a reset to a backside read. It's covered to. The ball shouldn't get thrown. Steelers trail three nothing under a minute left in the second quarter. Rogers dropping back. Finded Kenneth Gainwell to the outside, a gain of 10 yards. First and goal for the Steelers.

1:28.5

20 seconds left in the half. The Dolphins' defense was playing well. But Connor Hayward sneaks in for the touchdown, and Rogers loves it. They find a way. They find a way right before half to punch it and gave him a little bit momentum. Yeah, Steelers lead seven three at the half. Third quarter, same score, first and 10 for the Steelers. from their own 40 40 Kenneth Gainwell taking the hand off going down the sidelines for 38 yards the Steelers knocking on the door and now second and seven from inside the red zone mark

marquez bald as scantling a new addition to this team a veteran for Rogers to connect there for the 19 yard touchdown good ball fake. You get that second level of the defense to jump up and then replace it. And then Rogers, DK, in the slot. Ball comes out on time. Backslot safety just misses it. And then everybody's too small. Metcalf, I talked to him after the game, and he was like, yeah, Rogers was smiling a lot in this game because we all did the right thing. It was amazing. Okay, Steelers lead. They all went to film. 21 to 3. Exactly. I think that might have been his exact quote. Okay, fourth quarter, same score. First and 10 for the Steelers. They begin to inflict their will. Jonu Smith right here with an opportunity. He takes it 14 yards for the touchdown the Steelers go on to win

2:35.1

28 to 15 and here's Aaron Rogers on the field after the game I love being here in

2:41.4

the city I love the organization it's been a lot of fun for me to be able to play for

2:46.6

Mike Tomlin there's a lot of good guys on this team guys care about it, guys that feel like they got a lot to prove.

2:53.5

But my one question is, where the hell is my tequila?

2:58.1

Monday night football!

3:02.2

Okay, just for some clarification there, John Sutcliffe, who's amazing, ESPN Deportes. He has been known to bring

3:07.6

tequila to Aaron Rogers to some games. So they went through the whole interview and Stucliff had a whole plan and Rogers is like, dude, where's my tequila? He didn't have it? No, he had it. It's just a little dice. By the way. Loves him. Smiling ear to ear when he saw him. One of the few people in like the media that he loves.

3:23.8

Well, listen, if you know Signor, he's a guy that she's love.

3:27.4

Everybody loves. Okay, listen, if you know Signor, he's a guy that you love. Okay, Dan, are you encouraged by what you saw from the Steelers' offense last night? Sure. It doesn't make me look at their football team differently. The two things that stood out, one, they were efficient and two, they kept the quarterback clean. If that offense can do that, then they're going to be able to at least stay in football games. They ran the ball decently well. There wasn't a ton of explosive runs.
