Summary
Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into a massive Championship Weekend on The Audible, breaking down who reaches the Super Bowl and why. The AFC comes down to the ultimate question: can the Broncos win with Jarrett Stidham, or is this the moment Drake Maye announces himself as the league's next superstar. Then it's over to the NFC, where the Seahawks and Rams meet for another heavyweight chess match — and whether Sam Darnold can actually outduel Matthew Stafford when everything is on the line.
