Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyatt. And I'm joined by Daddy Kelly and Craig Coralbeck. We're growing over all the players. You should add entry week 16, the fantasy football semi-finals or just not coming in last in your league if you're in the toilet bowl, in which case we're sorry and probably our fault. Whatever you need, we're going to go through the players and the barn burner that was the Steelers Dolphins Monday and football playoff game. But if it was fantasy, it was pretty riveting if you needed points from Jalen Waddle or Darren Waller. Wow. What a game. And boy, do we have a great show for you tonight? Jennifer Lopez is here. Stick around and we'll be right back.

chime.com. All right, Steelers Dolphins. That was kind of hard to watch. The

1:57.7

Steelers won 2815. It was both way closer and way not at all

2:01.9

whatsoever closer than that final score because as Troy Aikman nailed it, one of the

2:07.2

stranger fourth quarters he's ever seen because the dolphins should have maybe had a chance

2:12.8

to come back and they just took like five and a half minutes to try to score on the final

2:16.5

They were huddling. They were huddling. It was actually insane. They were shocked at their time at the end, but the Steelers were so much better throughout Craig. How did you feel watching the Steelers probably end up winning the division, honestly, if they can beat the Ravens in the last week of the season? It's looking like, once again, the Steelers are going to have a winning season. The Steelers are now eight and six. They play the Lions. Then they play Cleveland and then they finish with Baltimore. So they need one win out of the next three games to be over 500. I thought they looked outside. The first quarter was a mess. Both teams looked like shit. And then the Steelers snuck ahead, seven, three to go into the half. And then after that, the Steelers actually looked pretty

2:54.2

good. They had a really dominant third quarter. Rogers was awesome. I think my big takeaway from

2:58.7

this game is that Troy Aikman fucking hates the dolphins. He was so upset with how they handled

3:05.6

the fourth quarter. He was upset with how you pronounce Devon A. Chan's name at the end. He was upset all the way through. But this is a classic Steelers win. They didn't have T.J. Watt. Maybe he was hungry. I think he was. I think he was shocked that the dolphins were huddling down three touchdowns. Yeah, but what does Devon Aid hs name have to do with any of that he was bored

3:25.4

angry and cold yeah that's fair that they have to kind of stand outside he's crappy feel the weather

3:32.1

like they're all their big coats there um i don't know if you look at the stat sheet of this game it does not

3:36.2

tell the story of the game like it says that you, Tua was essentially a better stats than Rogers.
