Sheil and Ben begin the pod by discussing the Bucs’ impressive upset win over the Eagles on Monday night and looking forward to the Chiefs-Bills big showdown next weekend. Then, Ben marvels at Jordan Love’s excellent first playoff game as the Packers’ starting QB while Sheil breaks down how Sean McVay’s less than perfect game plan versus the Lions prevented the Rams from winning (21:52). They end the pod with some offseason speculations for the Dolphins and Cowboys before shining a light on some of the young stars making a name for themselves in this year’s tournament (44:25).
