Summary
First up, Robert welcomes the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, and avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Seth Meyers to the show to discuss the emotional arc of this Steelers season, his expectations for where the team actually ends up this year, the three acts of Ben Roethlisberger, the best and worst moments of the last decade of Steelers football, how COVID-19 has changed the creative process for Late Night, and more.
Next, The Athletic’s Sheil Kapadia helps Robert map out future plans for some of the teams with high picks in next year’s NFL Draft, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, and Philadelphia Eagles.
To close things out, The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell stops by for a New Orleans Saints Team Visit to discuss the mood around the team, if the offense can live up to expectations and lift the team back into Super Bowl contention, why the Saints could be more dangerous in the playoffs than some people would expect, what they’ll look like next season if they end up falling short this year, and more.
