Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me tonight.

It's my good buddy Nate Tyson. How are you? Good. Wild'm Robert Mays. Join me tonight. It's my good buddy, Nate Tyson.

How are you? Good. Wildcard in the books. Just went exactly how we expected it to, right?

Just exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Our predictions were exactly how expected. You know,

just exactly how the narratives were going to go, especially with this last game. That's exactly,

that was a nice little, nice little bow because of just a normal game that just happened.

So we're going to get to all of the games. We're going to start with that Sunday night game, though.

Hard game to really analyze because it felt like the Browns were playing the four corners

offense and defense from the halfway

point of the first quarter.

And later in the game, when they had a couple high leverage moments where they needed

something, I think they went to a couple plays that really seemed just to be reliable

for them.

And they went to that juke play to Landry a couple different times against a linebacker. But I think both offensively and defensively, they were just trying to mash. I made a joke about it on Twitter. There's mash the SIM to End button is what the Browns that were trying to do there. And they got there. I mean, it looked dicey at times. I was nervous for them and for their fan base, considering what that

looks like in certain moments. But I do think that that game looks a lot different if they're not

totally in control. I think they do different things offensively and defensively. But either way,

congratulations to the Browns and to Browns fans. In the playoffs, it doesn't matter how you do it.

It doesn't matter if the other team snaps the ball over their quarterback's head

in the first play of the game or throws multiple tip ball interceptions in the first half.
