Steelers battled the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. I was actually in person, in the crowd, watching that thing. An electric, electric environment. I know another electric environment this weekend. Pat will be down in Athens, Georgia. Pat, what's happening down there, buddy? Where are you at? Hey, it's an honor to be here. I'm at the Butzmere Heritage Hall, which obviously has all the sports admins. And behind us, we have the track team currently practicing. I think for their last season here, as they have a new state-of-the-art track facility right down the road. And we're going to see some real athletes running behind me. And obviously, this game's a top 10 matchup deep in the heart of Georgia here in Athens and SEC football.

Cannot wait for that, but let's go back to last night. I did not know you were going to be in the jungle. I did not know you were going to be an Andrew Whitworth's jungle for a night as the Pittsburgh Steelers came to town as five and a half point favorites, and it was four and a half point favorites in the middle of the show. Then five and a half again. And I'll tell you what, early in that game, it felt like the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to do

1:11.7

what we thought they were going to do at the beginning of this show yesterday, which was absolutely run away with it. But don't let Joe Flacco get hot. Obviously, Aaron Rogers and his Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has been getting better and better as the year went on. He's throwing dots all over the place. D.K. Metcalf stepping over people not getting personal fouls because they're saying that's not that big of a deal,

1:29.9

because of how smooth it was, how athletic it was, and how great of a play it was.

1:33.7

It was Thursday night football, prime time Aaron.

1:35.8

It looked like it was 20 years ago Aaron Rogers.

1:38.0

He's run all over the place.

1:39.2

He's still got it in.

1:40.7

John Hussmith, who had a penalty earlier on the drive, gets a massive touchdown. Early, it was like, wait a minute, the Pittsburgh Steelers going to make this look too easy. Let's go to before the half at the second quarter. Boom! Tomorrow Chase, Joe Flacco. Tomorrow would have 16 receptions on the evening, and obviously even dropped one, which Joe Flacco lost his mind. But if you got Jamar Chase on your team, you're going to throw him to ball.

2:01.4

Aaron's going to throw the ball any other team, AJ.

2:03.1

What the hell's going on here?

2:04.7

Yeah, I don't know.

2:05.3

This is, I think maybe got caught up in the moment, maybe throw it up and get a D.K., give him a chance, right?

2:09.4

Maybe get some PI down the field.

2:11.0

I don't know.
