- 0:23Speaker 4: Does let me come that next week?
- 0:25Speaker 5: Right up?
- 0:29Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs back in the AFC Championship Game for
- 0:32Speaker 2: the sixth straight time.
- 0:34Speaker 3: The NAFC Championship Game. I mean, that's what you try
- 0:36Speaker 3: to do every single season. Our goal is just to
- 0:38Speaker 3: get to the super Bowl, and that's going to take
- 0:39Speaker 3: everything we have this next week. So this is a
- 0:41Speaker 3: great Ravens team that we're going up against.
- 0:42Speaker 2: They had to Baltimore to see if they can come
- 0:44Speaker 2: up with a way to keep John Harbaugh from breaking
- 0:47Speaker 2: out another rendition of the senior citizen Humpty dance. Chiefs
- 0:54Speaker 2: have won four straight.
- 0:55Speaker 6: Hey, listen, no.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Dancing today, No.
- 0:58Speaker 7: Dancing today. We got we got more to do.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Looked better last week offensively than they have all year.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes maybe comes in off his best outing of
- 1:06Speaker 2: the year.
- 1:07Speaker 3: It's always fun when you get to come together as
- 1:09Speaker 3: a team and really just be like y'all versus everybody
- 1:12Speaker 3: and get the win.
- 1:12Speaker 2: He put up his highest rate at least over one
- 1:15Speaker 2: thirty went seventeen for twenty three, over nine yards per attempt,
- 1:18Speaker 2: two touchdowns, no picks.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Watch him fake this.
- 1:21Speaker 5: Right here, like I'm gonna throw it over you, and
- 1:23Speaker 5: it gets Douglas to leave his feet.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Mahallas has been doing this for years.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Baltimore at Super Bowls door for the first time since
- 1:30Speaker 2: twenty twelve. They've now won ten of their last eleven
- 1:33Speaker 2: games with Lamar Jackson starting, who.
- 1:35Speaker 6: Was rusty, you know, it was windy, it was cooling.
- 1:37Speaker 5: His head got down, Jackson, cape Stanley in front of him,
- 1:41Speaker 5: touchdown Lamar.
- 1:43Speaker 6: When we came out second half and we deal we
- 1:45Speaker 6: were supposed to do.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Course from the board and after last week, Baltimore with
- 1:48Speaker 2: a minimum of thirty one points in each of their
- 1:51Speaker 2: last seven home games with Jackson at QB.
- 1:53Speaker 7: I thought Lamar was gonna play great.
- 1:55Speaker 8: But he's played great all year, you know, and just
- 1:57Speaker 8: now it's it's more important than ever. He's been locked
- 2:00Speaker 8: in from day one. That's his turn, and we've all
- 2:03Speaker 8: kind of that.
- 2:05Speaker 5: Then we're going out a championship game at that, because
- 2:08Speaker 5: that hey the bar.
- 2:10Speaker 2: This is the fourth installment of Lamar Mahomes. Mahomes as
- 2:13Speaker 2: a three to one edge. Mahomes is three and two
- 2:19Speaker 2: in conference championship games. Hasn't ever played one on the road,
- 2:23Speaker 2: but he won away from Arrowhead last week, so the
- 2:25Speaker 2: whole hasn't ever had to win a playoff game on
- 2:28Speaker 2: the road. Thing is no more, you're.
- 2:30Speaker 4: On the road.
- 2:30Speaker 3: It's it's you vers him, It's you versus everybody in
- 2:33Speaker 3: the stadium, and you have to come together as a team,
- 2:35Speaker 3: and the guys do that.
- 2:36Speaker 2: This is Lamar's first conference championship game.
- 2:40Speaker 6: Said about you having one playoff win?
- 2:42Speaker 7: Have you heard that?
- 2:43Speaker 6: Motivate you are?
- 2:45Speaker 5: That?
- 2:45Speaker 2: You are Jackson plus elite rush, offense plus elite defense
- 2:49Speaker 2: plus home field advantage. That's what Casey is up against.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Baltimore's win over Houston in the divisional round was more
- 2:56Speaker 2: or less what twenty twenty three Ravens football is all about.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Quarterback dropped the middle.
- 3:01Speaker 9: He's in the tense Glomar Jackson.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Jackson's dual threat abilities were front and center in the
- 3:09Speaker 2: division round win. His legs, though, are what make him special,
- 3:12Speaker 2: and they propelled Baltimore into the conference championship game. One
- 3:15Speaker 2: hundred yards rushing nine point one to carry two scores.
- 3:19Speaker 5: Jackson has to go, and boy when he goes, he
- 3:23Speaker 5: goes right up the middle of the field.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Kansas City just finished playing Josh Allen gave up seventy
- 3:29Speaker 2: two yards rushing to him six a run, two tds.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Space is on the.
- 3:33Speaker 9: Loose again, another first down for Buffalo.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Jackson is just a third or maybe a fourth of
- 3:38Speaker 2: Baltimore's rush attack. Kansas City's defense should expect plenty of
- 3:42Speaker 2: Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, maybe some Dalvin Cook Hill last
- 3:46Speaker 2: week sixty six yards, five point one a run.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Justice had a great game on second and nine Hill
- 3:52Speaker 5: first down plus.
- 3:53Speaker 8: I told Justice, I said, man, you're really really talented,
- 3:56Speaker 8: but your heart's even bigger.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Hill hit over five a carry this year in limited
- 3:59Speaker 2: duty Edwards versus the Texans forty yards for a carry.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Gus with eight hundre plus yards for the year, thirteen
- 4:05Speaker 2: paint jobs first.
- 4:07Speaker 9: And goal Edwards into the end zone from touchdown Ravens.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Cook chipped in twenty three yards in his first action
- 4:14Speaker 2: for Baltimore. All that versus the number one rush defense
- 4:18Speaker 2: versus running backs too. Chiefs didn't play backs nearly as
- 4:21Speaker 2: well as Houston, but they did keep James Cook in check.
- 4:24Speaker 2: He went for four point seven to twenty twenty three.
- 4:26Speaker 2: They kept him to three point four a carry. Linebacker
- 4:29Speaker 2: Nick Bolton had a whopping thirteen tackles.
- 4:33Speaker 4: Right into Bolton drives it back after one.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Chief's secondary also up against it. Jackson's most recent MVP
- 4:39Speaker 2: outing came complete with nice passing stats. Repeating myself, Baltimore's
- 4:43Speaker 2: offense a run dominant outfit. They sported a one thirty
- 4:47Speaker 2: run pass split for the year, but when they throw,
- 4:50Speaker 2: it's produced nice results all day.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Patement, nice diving cats.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Lamar went sixteen for twenty two last week, one hundred
- 5:00Speaker 2: and fifty two yards two tds. No picks a rating
- 5:02Speaker 2: over one twenty.
- 5:04Speaker 8: Team to win an MVP award, All right, but I
- 5:07Speaker 8: know who the MVP is, then Lamar Jackson.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Should be noted too. Houston, a team that doesn't blitz
- 5:16Speaker 2: a lot, sent the house after Lamar all game long,
- 5:19Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his dropbacks. That's an absurd rate.
- 5:22Speaker 2: He faced pressure forty three percent of his dropbacks. That's
- 5:25Speaker 2: a lot, and none of it matter.
- 5:27Speaker 7: And they have ten guys within five yards.
- 5:30Speaker 10: Let's pressure coming past completed, Isaiah likely pulls his way
- 5:33Speaker 10: down to the twenty seven yard line.
- 5:34Speaker 7: Once Lamar was able to sit back to or just.
- 5:36Speaker 8: Kind of just kind of pick him a park in
- 5:38Speaker 8: the ball out quick. He just did a great job
- 5:40Speaker 8: of that, and I took patrol again.
- 5:42Speaker 2: No Ravens pass catcher had even fifty yards versus Houston
- 5:45Speaker 2: wasn't required. Zay Flowers led them in targets. He was
- 5:48Speaker 2: their leader on that front all year. Four catches forty
- 5:51Speaker 2: one yards versus Houston.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Patree coming on a blitz again, Jackson steps up Say
- 5:57Speaker 5: Flowers with a catch at a first out.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Flowers has been the most consistent Lamar target this season.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He's a slot guy, so he will go mano almano
- 6:07Speaker 2: with Trent McDuffie, Kansas City's nickel cornerback. He made first
- 6:10Speaker 2: team All Pro this year, so that's a top shelf
- 6:12Speaker 2: one on one.
- 6:13Speaker 10: He'll throw it the near side Tyrek Hill right the stomach,
- 6:16Speaker 10: fubbles the ball.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Picked up like Kansas sent it.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Probably is the best team I've ever been off.
- 6:20Speaker 2: From the fronts of Baltimore's wide receiver supporting cast Jackson
- 6:24Speaker 2: threw one of his TVs to wide receiver Nelson Aguilar.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Last week. Obj was quiet, He's always a threat. Rashad
- 6:30Speaker 2: Bateman hauled in thirty nine yards.
- 6:31Speaker 6: Yeah, I finished. You know, still playoff. Who're not in
- 6:34Speaker 6: the dance yet, But I'm looking forward to next week
- 6:37Speaker 6: to be honest with Chiefs.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Counter with Lugerius Snead who will also stick Flowers hoop
- 6:42Speaker 2: Doug coming.
- 6:44Speaker 4: In here about the bed bac and which no man
- 6:47Speaker 4: at all can play ball.
- 6:49Speaker 2: He tracks wr ones with the best. Stefan Diggs in
- 6:52Speaker 2: the divisional game, eight targets, only twenty one yards, only
- 6:56Speaker 2: three catches.
- 6:56Speaker 7: If our defense was just as good as a.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Compets a second d ten almost picked off.
- 7:01Speaker 2: That was mcduffy who jumped in front dis who's been
- 7:05Speaker 2: held to only three catches. After Flowers, Jackson usually turns
- 7:09Speaker 2: to his tight ends. Isaiah Likely scored last week.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Jackson Enzon likely for the touchdown.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And there's a chance tight end Mark Andrews returns from injury.
- 7:22Speaker 2: That would be huge if he did six touchdowns in
- 7:24Speaker 2: his ten games. Can't hurt to have an elite pass
- 7:27Speaker 2: catcher added to the mix.
- 7:28Speaker 11: Right leak at barside complete Andrews having across midfield, down
- 7:32Speaker 11: the bars.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Sideline along at a way the maliant forty yard line.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Chiefs pass defense was tough on tight ends, held him
- 7:38Speaker 2: to an eighty seven point five rate this season, seventh
- 7:41Speaker 2: lowest defense.
- 7:42Speaker 4: Start off a little slow and then they picked it up.
- 7:45Speaker 4: I'm so proud of them and.
- 7:46Speaker 7: The job that they did.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Spags had a great game plan. The pass rush.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Sitch Lamar was sacked three times by the Texans second down.
- 7:53Speaker 5: In nineteen and down goes Jackson again.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Two of them right before the half, so not super damaging.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Jackson didn't fumble, hasn't lost a fumble in a long time.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Ball security not an issue for him this year. Kansas
- 8:08Speaker 2: City's pass rush, with the second most sacks for the season,
- 8:11Speaker 2: didn't have one last week, though, and only hit Allen twice.
- 8:15Speaker 7: Guy can he get home?
- 8:16Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 8:16Speaker 4: Two? Yeah, I can be so good again.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Chiefs Chris Jones, George Parloftis, Charles o'menahu, Mike Dana between
- 8:24Speaker 2: six and a half and ten and a half sacks
- 8:26Speaker 2: each for them this season. Kansas City got away with
- 8:29Speaker 2: a win without much pressure while giving up more points
- 8:32Speaker 2: than normal on defense because their offense are erupted for
- 8:34Speaker 2: twenty seven points. Casey may have had its issues in
- 8:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, but when they put up twenty five
- 8:40Speaker 2: plus points eight to no including the playoffs.
- 8:43Speaker 5: Toney, that's what we get in all day, Toney toutsdown
- 8:46Speaker 5: is the rentality Tondy all day.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Putting up twenty five on Baltimore is going to be
- 8:50Speaker 2: a challenge. Ravens faced the number one QB in passing
- 8:53Speaker 2: yards per game for the year. Last week. Baltimore held CJ. Stroud,
- 8:57Speaker 2: who came in hot to one hundred and seventy five yards,
- 9:00Speaker 2: no touchdowns, just five point two yards per attempt, a
- 9:03Speaker 2: low seventies rae.
- 9:04Speaker 11: You know all these Purple jerseys in the physicalness in
- 9:08Speaker 11: which they arrived, I mean they are pounding on him,
- 9:10Speaker 11: and you got Hutchinson just doing everything he can to
- 9:13Speaker 11: squeak out any kind of.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Yarded their divisional round showing akin to how they played
- 9:17Speaker 2: quarterbacks all year. They were either the top secondary this
- 9:20Speaker 2: season or co champs at the very least.
- 9:23Speaker 9: Off the deflection, the Ravens have the pick Brandon Stevens
- 9:27Speaker 9: on the right spot and he's running with him.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Chiefs offense trying to Dent, the number one defense in
- 9:31Speaker 2: points per game allowed for the season, held Houston to ten.
- 9:34Speaker 2: They didn't give up a single TD five straight. No
- 9:37Speaker 2: team has scored twenty points on Baltimore.
- 9:39Speaker 5: Tunka by lower high throw intercepted by Gino Stone.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Ravens secondary will primarily be focused on two casey pass catchers.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey, of course, who has two good playoff games
- 9:52Speaker 2: under his belt now two touchdowns versus the Bills, seventy
- 9:55Speaker 2: five yards and one heart for the love of his life,
- 9:57Speaker 2: A lot hairrier than you would have thought, right.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Travis Kelsey scores that touchdown.
- 10:01Speaker 10: They showed Jason Kelcey with his shirt off up in
- 10:03Speaker 10: the sweet chugging a beer.
- 10:06Speaker 2: I thought the Baltimore's linebackers Roekwan Smith, Patrick Queen's safety
- 10:12Speaker 2: is Kyle Hamilton. Gino Stone's second toughest in the league
- 10:15Speaker 2: on tight ends, holding him to a low eighties rating.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Buyers incomplete.
- 10:19Speaker 5: That ball came first thing out as soon as it
- 10:22Speaker 5: arrived in his hands because the Ravens just blew him up.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Kansas City's wide receivers don't have it any easier either.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Ravens faced Nico Collins, a thirteen hundred yard receiver held
- 10:32Speaker 2: him in check to sixty eight yards.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Stroud tried to fit it in to Nico Collins, broken
- 10:38Speaker 5: up by Marcus Williams.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Baltimore's cornerbacks Arthur Mallett, Brandon Stevens, Ronald Darby, Marlin Humphrey,
- 10:44Speaker 2: who didn't play last week. A nightmare for wideouts this year,
- 10:48Speaker 2: Baltimore held wide receivers to the third lowest rate for
- 10:50Speaker 2: the season.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Here's a balt tips and nearly picks Rice.
- 10:55Speaker 2: He went for forty seven yards last week. He had
- 10:58Speaker 2: a great rookie year. Holves gets twisted around that escapes
- 11:02Speaker 2: complete sitting for the first down, and it's Rice. Mbs
- 11:06Speaker 2: also hauled in a big catch versus the Bills, sixty
- 11:08Speaker 2: two yards going with.
- 11:10Speaker 4: A long ball. What a catch mvs.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Mahomes would take similar protection. The Bills didn't make it
- 11:15Speaker 2: home to see him once and they only hit him twice.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Here they come on second at eight.
- 11:20Speaker 2: He's able to get ahead of him and go down
- 11:23Speaker 2: the field and connects. Buffalo's pass rush was fourth and
- 11:26Speaker 2: sacks for twenty twenty three too. The Ravens pass rush
- 11:29Speaker 2: he faces didn't sack Stroud once, but their front factored
- 11:33Speaker 2: into that game. They pressured him a whopping fifty four
- 11:35Speaker 2: percent of the time. That's a fat number.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Here's pressure by ball left Stroud on third down has
- 11:42Speaker 4: to throw it away.
- 11:43Speaker 2: They were the bad Kings in twenty twenty three. Three
- 11:45Speaker 2: guys with nine plus sacks Kyle Vanoy, Jadavian Clowney defensive tackle,
- 11:50Speaker 2: Justin Madubique.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Tuka bay Lola pump fake and he is sacked by
- 11:54Speaker 4: Matabek Ravens.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Run defense not a strength in the regular season held
- 11:59Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, a dude hitting at four point five plus
- 12:02Speaker 2: over his last five to six games two point two
- 12:05Speaker 2: a run just twenty two yards round game.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Has been non existence.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Rub Kwan Smith got through to make that stop at.
- 12:12Speaker 4: A loss of three.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Now they take on Isaiah Picchecko, who went to work
- 12:16Speaker 2: on Buffalo's defense. Ninety seven yards six point five a run,
- 12:19Speaker 2: a touchdown. Jaco is a beast, run so hard, looks
- 12:23Speaker 2: like he's trying to run through a brick wall every handoff.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Here's Pacheco into the secondary and letting.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Down the sideline.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Mahomes legs can't be ignored. He was the king of
- 12:33Speaker 2: the scramble. First down, this season.
- 12:35Speaker 10: The homes A couple of times he's able to fake
- 12:38Speaker 10: as if he's going to give it up to Bell,
- 12:40Speaker 10: and he keeps going kicking games.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Chiefs Harrison Bucker two for two last week, six for
- 12:45Speaker 2: six in the playoffs.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Doctor nails a top one into the win of forty
- 12:49Speaker 5: seven yards to tie the game.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Justin Tucker also two for two last week. He hit
- 12:54Speaker 2: from fifty three yards.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Fifty three yards on a windy day. He's so good.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Chiefs seven and two as the road team, Ravens seven
- 13:03Speaker 2: and two at home with at the Helm.
- 13:05Speaker 8: We're excited for the opportunity, but we're Reggie and we're mad.
- 13:08Speaker 8: You know, we got a lot to prove.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Chance it could rain temp In the mid forties, Baltimore
- 13:12Speaker 2: and Kansas City have faced only once in the playoffs.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Remember this one twenty ten Baltimore thirty to seven win.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, Terrell Suggs, ray Lewis, good time.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Would you rather be right.
- 13:22Speaker 7: Here right now?
- 13:23Speaker 3: Right? Ah? Let me do it, Nan, Let's do it
- 13:26Speaker 3: right here.
- 13:29Speaker 6: You're built for this, You're built for this, man, and
- 13:33Speaker 6: look what you gotta do.
- 13:34Speaker 4: If you went out there and then what it's another
- 13:37Speaker 4: hot team that we knocked off.
- 13:39Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions are knocking on the door of the
- 13:42Speaker 2: Super Bowl for the first time since nineteen ninety one.
- 13:45Speaker 6: That's wait, a mount up Man, that's not it. That's
- 13:47Speaker 6: a that's a difficult team to beat.
- 13:49Speaker 7: Man.
- 13:49Speaker 4: And there's the snap.
- 13:50Speaker 9: Blitz comes may feel back low, its goes pick up
- 13:53Speaker 9: Lions hit by the Lions.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Hit the Lion. Derek Park, Derek Barks, Dirk Barks. Maybe
- 14:01Speaker 4: one thirty three to go the Lions uck. Oh, it
- 14:04Speaker 4: doesn't effort. That's god, that's two.
- 14:06Speaker 6: All right, that's two.
- 14:08Speaker 4: We got two to go with the buy in the meddle.
- 14:13Speaker 2: They head west this week to take on the San
- 14:15Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine Ers in the NFC Championship Game for
- 14:18Speaker 2: the third time in a row four of the last
- 14:20Speaker 2: five years now.
- 14:22Speaker 9: A shot gun take trout Prussia gets chased out to
- 14:25Speaker 9: us like we'll.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Throw on the run back medal and is in accepted.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Go down.
- 14:29Speaker 9: Drake Ringla and the forty nine Ers will host the NFC.
- 14:33Speaker 4: Title Game next Sunday.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Unbelievable.
- 14:37Speaker 2: These two teams did not play each other this year.
- 14:39Speaker 2: That's fantastic. Makes this matchup that much juicier Mountain of
- 14:43Speaker 2: good matchups to get through. You can agree disagree with
- 14:46Speaker 2: the order add subtract in the comments section. First up,
- 14:50Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey versus Detroit linebackers Alex Enzeloni, Derek Barnes, Jack
- 14:54Speaker 2: Campbell forty nine ers offense operated on an eight thirty
- 14:58Speaker 2: two run pass split for this season. Oh, Christian's unbelievable.
- 15:01Speaker 2: He told me I'm coming out that that play was
- 15:03Speaker 2: gonna score Hi formation.
- 15:04Speaker 9: Charleston McCaffrey, big hole and he runs out across the
- 15:08Speaker 9: thirty bricks at tackle is gone touchdown, Say damn same.
- 15:16Speaker 2: So that makes the Lions top defensive priority. And there
- 15:19Speaker 2: are a lot of them. But it starts with CMC
- 15:22Speaker 2: San Francisco now eleven and one after last week when
- 15:25Speaker 2: he runs for seventy five plus yards at last week
- 15:33Speaker 2: versus Green Bay almost one hundred yards over five yards
- 15:36Speaker 2: per carry, two touchdowns.
- 15:38Speaker 10: Kathleen McCaffery stars fully leaders in front.
- 15:43Speaker 2: McCaffrey dubbed the top running back of the year. He
- 15:45Speaker 2: was first team All Pro.
- 15:47Speaker 9: There is absolutely nowhere to go, squorts through and takes
- 15:50Speaker 9: it all the way down to the goal line.
- 15:52Speaker 7: Hey be mad that.
- 15:56Speaker 2: The Lions have not fared well against backs in their
- 15:58Speaker 2: two postseason games. Gave up four point seven to carry
- 16:01Speaker 2: to LA's Kirn Williams, then last week gave up six
- 16:04Speaker 2: point one to run to Rashad White gave up four
- 16:06Speaker 2: point eight to carry to Chase Edmonds. Didn't hurt as
- 16:09Speaker 2: bad because the two only combined for thirteen total carries,
- 16:11Speaker 2: but they will see much more than that this week.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Stop defeat start up good runner Sean White.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Detroit was third in yards per carry allowed for twenty
- 16:20Speaker 2: twenty three. Anzelone one hundred and twenty nine tackles for
- 16:23Speaker 2: the season. Campbell almost had one hundred.
- 16:25Speaker 5: They handed Jacobs again and that did war plays made
- 16:30Speaker 5: by Anzeloni.
- 16:32Speaker 2: They have to play McCaffrey in the passing game as well.
- 16:34Speaker 2: He was the safety val versus the Packers. He went
- 16:36Speaker 2: for five hundred plus receiving yards this season. Purty targeted
- 16:40Speaker 2: him twelve times last week, far and away the most
- 16:42Speaker 2: of any player, only thirty yards, but better than taking
- 16:45Speaker 2: a sack.
- 16:46Speaker 4: Gets through the edge and taxing around. Good hard work
- 16:49Speaker 4: for McCaffery.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Both run games huge in this contest, but can anyone
- 16:53Speaker 2: see Detroit advancing without Jared Goff having a good game
- 16:56Speaker 2: at number two Goff versus San Francisco's secondary. Goff has
- 17:00Speaker 2: been on fire in the playoffs. He's had one hundred
- 17:02Speaker 2: plus right games in three st eight two hundred and
- 17:05Speaker 2: eighty seven yards versus Tampa Bay A raiding over one
- 17:07Speaker 2: hundred two touchdowns, no picks bad. What a play by
- 17:11Speaker 2: Jared Goff.
- 17:11Speaker 7: He was gonna get thrilled.
- 17:13Speaker 4: He knew it, he understood it. He didn't flinch at
- 17:17Speaker 4: all and delivered a strike on that big third death play.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Goff has had as good a year as he's ever had.
- 17:22Speaker 2: He guided Detroit's offense to the fifth most points per game,
- 17:25Speaker 2: third most yards per game. That offense stacked up against
- 17:29Speaker 2: the San Francisco defense, third in points per game allowed.
- 17:34Speaker 2: Whoo whooa forty nine ers defensive strength stopping the pass.
- 17:39Speaker 2: They were a top five secondary in twenty twenty three.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Last week versus a very hot Jordan Love held him
- 17:44Speaker 2: under two hundred yards, under six yards per attempt, picked
- 17:47Speaker 2: him off twice, low seventies rating.
- 17:49Speaker 10: Third and eight Love fir and end zone. Not to wait,
- 17:54Speaker 10: it's incomplete. Sharfarius Ward with the big play.
- 17:58Speaker 2: So how about Rock Perdy versus Detroit secondary. Perdy was
- 18:02Speaker 2: solid versus Green Bay solid in the he got out
- 18:04Speaker 2: of the game clean over two hundred and fifty yards,
- 18:07Speaker 2: no picks, one touchdown, an eighty six point seven rating,
- 18:10Speaker 2: and give him credit. He now has a late game
- 18:13Speaker 2: playoff comeback under his belt. That's why George Paul's in BCB.
- 18:17Speaker 10: He's Purty lowening up has a benin that's called Chris Connelly.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Purdy, the top statistical QB this year, faces a Detroit
- 18:24Speaker 2: secondary that did not perform great against quarterbacks in twenty
- 18:28Speaker 2: twenty three. Gave up almost three hundred and fifty yards
- 18:30Speaker 2: to Baker Mayfield last week mid nineties rating eight and
- 18:33Speaker 2: a half yards per attempt.
- 18:35Speaker 9: On second down, may Feelings Evans caught it touchdown.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Mike Evans a sir mix a lot big butt. Though
- 18:43Speaker 2: the Lions also picked off Mayfield twice, they recently got CJ.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Gardner Johnson back in their backfield. That dude is a playmaker,
- 18:50Speaker 2: excepting into the hands of seat Jake Gardner Johnson and
- 18:55Speaker 2: big confident Brock. That's what George George King of the
- 18:58Speaker 2: Jungle calls Purty has some cleanup work to do. Two
- 19:01Speaker 2: passes he threw versus Green Bay should have been picked off.
- 19:04Speaker 2: One of them should have been housed. It could have
- 19:06Speaker 2: swung the game.
- 19:07Speaker 10: They're party looking to throw has some time rifles over
- 19:09Speaker 10: the bit on it picked off, It should.
- 19:12Speaker 4: Have been picked off.
- 19:12Speaker 10: It was right there for Savage, who had a pick
- 19:15Speaker 10: six last week and he just couldn't hang on.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Still, he now has the knowledge he can overcome struggles
- 19:20Speaker 2: before the clock strikes zero. Number four Detroit running backs
- 19:23Speaker 2: Daved Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs versus San Francisco linebackers Fred
- 19:27Speaker 2: Warner and Drake Greenlaw. Warner and Greenlaw showed last week
- 19:30Speaker 2: by many think they're the best one to two linebacker
- 19:33Speaker 2: punch first team All Pro. Warner showed his hardware was
- 19:36Speaker 2: well deserved. Seven tackles won for a loss.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Reed in motion gets it on the flip Jaden Reid,
- 19:42Speaker 4: He's gonna go nowhere. Well played by guess who?
- 19:45Speaker 2: Fred Warner Greenlaw eight tackles the game ending. I int
- 19:49Speaker 2: he had two picks on the game.
- 19:50Speaker 4: Love the time again. I've tried bad. It's picked off.
- 19:55Speaker 10: Drake Greenlaw has it and there's the big play the
- 19:58Speaker 10: Niners get on defense.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Still, the forty nine Ers gave up four point one
- 20:02Speaker 2: yards per carried to running backs this season. That was
- 20:05Speaker 2: middle of the pack, and last week they gave up
- 20:07Speaker 2: over one hundred yards to Aaron Jones on six yards
- 20:09Speaker 2: per carry.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Jones in open territory.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, how's a chance midfield Montgomery. He had a
- 20:17Speaker 2: quiet game last week. Thirteen tds for the year, though
- 20:19Speaker 2: one thousand plus yards. The rookie Gibbs was the star
- 20:22Speaker 2: as a receiver and runner forty receiving yards versus the
- 20:25Speaker 2: Bucks the middle by.
- 20:27Speaker 4: Gibbs pulling aways Gibbs instead.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Of the twenty yard live.
- 20:31Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers held running backs in the passing
- 20:33Speaker 2: game to an eighty four point two right fifth lowest.
- 20:36Speaker 5: Love back to throw last time now throws Jones underneath Jones'
- 20:41Speaker 5: is wrestled down to the ground.
- 20:43Speaker 2: By green Law gives the runner seventy four yards last
- 20:47Speaker 2: week eight point two a carry a TD second.
- 20:49Speaker 4: To two kids get up the field gets accelerates. Text
- 20:53Speaker 4: of the inside basy through.
- 20:55Speaker 2: The touchdown matchup Number five San Francisco right tackle Pulton
- 21:00Speaker 2: mckivitz versus Daden Hutchinson. Mckivitz is the only line in
- 21:04Speaker 2: San Francisco, who gave up ten plus sacks this season.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Berty in some trouble perti is sacks.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Hutchinson moves around, so expect him to spend a lot
- 21:12Speaker 2: of time across from mckibbots. Being first team All Pro
- 21:15Speaker 2: Trent Williams lines up at left tackle for the Niners.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Hutchinson is on a sack bender another one last week.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Three QB hits as a sack in four straight games,
- 21:24Speaker 2: eight total in that window.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Mayfield right down by Hutchinson and nobody put a body
- 21:30Speaker 5: on Hutchinson.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Detroit's pass rush overall wasn't a big strength for the year,
- 21:34Speaker 2: but they did sack Baker Mayfield four times last week.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Presser Cubs got a fund, Mayfield got away.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Not for long.
- 21:43Speaker 2: How about Nick Bosa versus Lions right tackle Tone Sewel.
- 21:47Speaker 2: This is Hulk Hogan versus Andre the giant kind of material.
- 21:50Speaker 2: San Francisco pass rush zero sacks, thirty four pass attempts
- 21:53Speaker 2: last week. Still they pressured love a heavy forty percent
- 21:57Speaker 2: of his dropbacks. Nick Bosa had five QB hits. That's
- 22:00Speaker 2: a huge number for one game.
- 22:02Speaker 4: They come on the bliss Love back couldn't wait, threw it.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Off its back foot, Bosa's second most ub hits the season.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Sewell only gave up three sacks all year. Detroit was
- 22:12Speaker 2: tied for fourth in sacks allowed for the year.
- 22:15Speaker 4: Didn't ever play.
- 22:18Speaker 2: On the other side, Left tackle Taylor Decker will battle
- 22:22Speaker 2: Chase Young. Young no sacks in four straight games. Decker
- 22:25Speaker 2: gave up nine sacks for the year. None in the postseason, though.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Oh Next up Brandon Aiyuk, Juwan Jennings, Deebo Samuel versus
- 22:36Speaker 2: Detroit's cornerbacks. Lions corner Cameron Sutton has struggled bad in
- 22:40Speaker 2: the postseason. Both games. Lions gave up over one hundred
- 22:43Speaker 2: and eighty yards to Puka Nakua, gave up one hundred
- 22:45Speaker 2: and forty seven to Mike Evans last week plus a
- 22:48Speaker 2: TD Sutton the guy he burned most of the game, Heyfield.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Takes him deep, shut down four evens, He's got it
- 22:55Speaker 4: now long him death the one it beat Sutton again?
- 22:58Speaker 2: Will he have debo to worry about this week? Samuel
- 23:00Speaker 2: almost racked up nine hundred yards for the year seven tds,
- 23:03Speaker 2: but he hit by a brick last week. Knock the
- 23:06Speaker 2: blank out of the game with a shoulder injury.
- 23:08Speaker 4: And absorbs a hit, keeps on going. You certainly hope
- 23:11Speaker 4: that he's okay. So important to this forty nine ers attack,
- 23:15Speaker 4: it would.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Be surprising if Deebo doesn't play this week, though, I mean,
- 23:17Speaker 2: he's Debo and it's not just that he's a star.
- 23:20Speaker 2: San Francisco's offense just isn't the same without him. Average
- 23:23Speaker 2: yards per play dropped by over a yard without him
- 23:26Speaker 2: on the field this year.
- 23:28Speaker 12: When he's in there, I mean, you like, match him
- 23:30Speaker 12: with Christian You're swimming around stuff like that. It makes
- 23:33Speaker 12: our offense, what I think, is different than any other
- 23:35Speaker 12: offense in the NFL. So my concern for him not
- 23:37Speaker 12: playing next week, yeah, we're a different team without Dubo.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Jennings stepped up in Deebo's absence last week. Five catches
- 23:44Speaker 2: sixty one yards.
- 23:45Speaker 10: Floats with a high and it's taught. I don't want
- 23:47Speaker 10: to pick playing Juwan. Jennings goes up to get it.
- 23:51Speaker 10: HiT's a first down at a twenty one yard game and.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Then there's a second team er. I U only thirty
- 23:55Speaker 2: plus yards versus Green Bay, but over thirteen hundred for
- 23:58Speaker 2: the year.
- 23:59Speaker 4: There comes pressure. Party was protected and Brandon Hayuk's got
- 24:03Speaker 4: the first down.
- 24:04Speaker 2: To thirty for the year. Detroit gave up a ninety
- 24:07Speaker 2: six point four rate to whiteouts twenty four. Let's stick
- 24:10Speaker 2: with that position though. San Francisco's Tarvarius Ward versus Detroit
- 24:13Speaker 2: wide receiver I'm on russ Saint Brown. Ward made second
- 24:17Speaker 2: team All Pro likes Ricky Nelson, so he'll go wherever
- 24:20Speaker 2: Saint Brown goes. Had five tackles in a pass defense
- 24:23Speaker 2: last week, firing en.
- 24:24Speaker 10: Zone knocked away and it's incomplete. Charvarius Ward with the
- 24:29Speaker 10: big play.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Saint Brown went for seventy seven yards last week, has
- 24:32Speaker 2: seventy five plus yards and six straight games.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Down de truot down.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Saint Brown will also do battle with San Francisco cornerback
- 24:43Speaker 2: Diamador lenor their nickel cornerback. He had a great outing
- 24:46Speaker 2: versus Green Bay. Five tackles, five targets, only two catches,
- 24:50Speaker 2: only eight yards.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Okay, get him out of here, send them back to
- 24:54Speaker 3: Texas man.
- 24:55Speaker 2: The Niners have held wide receivers to an eighty point
- 24:58Speaker 2: five rate and twenty twenty three, sixth lowest. Cornerback Ambry
- 25:01Speaker 2: Thomas needs to rebound, though he got hit with two
- 25:04Speaker 2: major flags versus the Packers gave up a rating over
- 25:07Speaker 2: one fifteen protective.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Let's a fly Tea's going from Melody as he flow up.
- 25:11Speaker 10: Down, there's a flag, There's a penalty. Every Thomas was
- 25:15Speaker 10: there again. He had a pass interference Paul earlier.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers also have Josh Reynolds to chase around.
- 25:21Speaker 2: He scored last week. Speedy Jamison Williams had thirty five yards,
- 25:25Speaker 2: but Saint Brown and Sam Laporta dominate Goff's looks. Saint
- 25:29Speaker 2: Brown had fourteen last week, Laporta eleven. Laporta was second
- 25:33Speaker 2: team All Pro this year. Nine catches sixty five yards versus.
- 25:36Speaker 6: The Bucks.
- 25:38Speaker 4: And Laport's on the run again.
- 25:41Speaker 2: San Francisco's safeties, along with Warner and Greenlaw, are a
- 25:44Speaker 2: tough draw for the rookie, Though held tight ends to
- 25:46Speaker 2: an eighty six point three rating, fourth lowest.
- 25:49Speaker 4: Holby Parkinson gets drilled right away. Gaire Brown.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Let's stay with the tight end position. Detroit gave up
- 25:56Speaker 2: a ninety seven rating to tight ends fourteen. They faced
- 25:59Speaker 2: the best tight end in the game, first team All
- 26:01Speaker 2: Pro George Kittle on thousand plus yards twenty twenty three
- 26:04Speaker 2: comes off an eighty one yard outing in a score?
- 26:07Speaker 6: Why do you follow me around?
- 26:09Speaker 7: Is it because I'm cute?
- 26:11Speaker 6: I thought so.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Lions six and three on the road, San Francisco six
- 26:15Speaker 2: and two at home with starters in place. These two
- 26:18Speaker 2: have played in the playoffs twice. Nineteen fifty seven, Detroit
- 26:21Speaker 2: beat the Niners on their way to a world title.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty three, the Niners beat Detroit behind some Hall
- 26:27Speaker 2: of fame QB.
- 26:28Speaker 10: Here's Montan already play action Blake again pros into the
- 26:31Speaker 10: end zone.
