The guys also chat about former linebacker Zach Orr replacing Mike MacDonald as the Ravens’ new DC, how we feel about Caleb Williams trying to force his way to the Commanders, and why in the WORLD any team would buy what Kliff Kingsbury is selling.

On his way to setting the ALL TIME post season receptions record, America’s sweetheart Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl to play the Niners in a rematch of their 2019 showdown. But who has more to prove, Mahomes or Purdy? Shek and Shazier are jumping into all the post-Championship weekend takes like: What really caused the Lions to blow their first half lead? Why the Ravens really struggled all day vs. KC? What it REALLY will take for a QB to beat Mahomes when it matters most? And the realization that Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson just might never win a ring as long as Mahomes is in the AFC. Plus the guys dissect Lions OC Ben Johnson’s decision to stay in Detroit rather than take a head coaching gig and if Arthur Smith as OC for the Steelers makes any sense at all.

Shek’s grabbed all the most ridiculous hot takes from around the NFL and CFB this week and Shazier is ready to call them like he sees them!

Plus the guys are jumping into some of the biggest surprises in 2023 like who knew the Tush Push would become the most unstoppable NFL play of all time or that Taylor Swift would be a weekly player in the NFL news cycle?
