Summary

On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys overreact to everything that happened in week 17 of the NFL season as more teams punched tickets, seeding is still up in the air, and we look ahead to the implications of week 18 with teams still jostling for the #1 seed and the winners of the NFC South and AFC North still in the balance, and they go around the internet for some overreactions. Joining the progrum to chat about some of the bigger injuries that happened over the weekend, what he’s hearing about Lamar Jackson’s status, Maxx Crosby’s future with the Raiders, the 49ers pursuit of the #1 seed, and which coaches might be on the hot seat is Senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter. Next, 3x DPOY, countless Pro Bowls/All-Pro’s, future Hall of Famer, Texans Ring of Honor member, and color commentator for the NFL on CBS, JJ Watt joins the show to recap week 17, look ahead to week 18, discuss the act of giving Christmas presents to teammates (specifically QB’s), and decide if any of the Roughing the Passer’s called last week were actually penalties.
