First the the 49ers stay in the hunt for the home field advantage thanks to a 42:38 victory over the Chicago Bears. These are not the same Bears of the last 15 years. They are much, much, much improved thanks to the coach and thanks to the co. That quarterback and those weapons they surrounded him with. But Brock Pie had himself a night tonight. 24, 33, 303, three touchdowns. He had an interception. Christian McAffrey says, Hey, y' all know I'm still versatile. 23 carries, a buck 48. He had a touchdown. Brock Pie, six carries, 28 yards, two touchdowns. Ricky Piero, five for 85. Jake Tongs had seven for 60 and a touchdown. Juwan Jennings, two for 42 and a touchdown. And Christian McCaffrey always gonna show up in the stat sheet on the receiving end. Four catches, 41 yards. But they made a great stand at the end of the ball game because Chicago was really, really put. They put him under the gun, Ocho. They put him under the gun. But the difference was in this ball game is that every time the 49ers got the ball into the red zone and they put the ball into the end zone, they didn't kick any field goals. Ocho. Ocho, what did you like about what you saw from this ball game?
Sports Analyst 2
Listen, obviously, the way the game started off unk and players need to understand Purdy and Juwan Jennings. When I go two by two, right, and you watch film, you go two by two. First play the game, 98% of the time, Jalen Johnson knows, okay, they going slam flat. They going slam flat right away. What does he do? He ain't even. He ain't even. He said, forget the quarterback. He didn't budge. Hump. He ain't do no re step. He didn't do nothing. He sat there, he jumped it. Boom. They jumped that touchdown.
Sports Analyst 1
Seven nothing.
Sports Analyst 2
Seven nothing. Right there off the bat.
Sports Analyst 1
Yep.
Sports Analyst 2
Outside of that, there was no defense played after that play.
Sports Analyst 1
They tried.
Sports Analyst 2
They tried, but there was no defense played after that play. Listen, this is one of the better games that I've seen in a very, very long time. There's another game that was like this that was very, very exciting. It was the Kansas City Chiefs. I forgot what year it was.
Sports Analyst 1
Oh, you talking about with the Rams?
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. Yes.
Sports Analyst 1
On that Monday night game.
Sports Analyst 2
Yes. This is. This is almost similar to that. It was. It was. It was offensive. Offensive juggernaut from both teams. Caleb Williams looks extremely good. I said it before the season started. This is not the same Bears. I understood how good Caleb Williams was. And what would happen once someone with a creative mind like Ben Johnson got there and was able to utilize the tools that Caleb Williams has at his disposal. Brock Purdy. I'm not sure if he continues to put performances like this together and string them together. No Trent Williams, no Debo. Brandon Ayuk's not there. Obviously he still has Christian McCaffrey.
Sports Analyst 1
George Kittle was out.
Sports Analyst 2
George. George Kittle was out. Ricky Purcell played well. Hey, Unc. Is it time to talk about Brock Purdy being in elite conversation or is it too soon yet?
Sports Analyst 1
Nah, it's not too soon. He's been in the league long enough. Ocho, there wasn't a defense. But you're Talking about maybe 2 of the top signal callers in all of football. You talk about Ben Johnson and you talk about Kyle Shanahan. And when you talk about great signal callers, you don't go very far without someone mentioning Kyle Shanahan. We know, we know Josh McDaniel, we know Sean McVey, we know Andy Reed. But when you're talking about signal college, you're going to, you're going to mention Ben Johnson. There's a reason why he got a head coaching job. We talk about Kyle Shanahan because the way he a. He's going to spread you out and everybody if, if you have a. A live number on, hey, you can get the ball. Fullback, running back, tight end, second tight end, third tight end, first, second, third receiver. It does not matter. I love the way Chicago spread the ball around like six, seven, eight guys caught passes tonight. So who do you key on Luther Burton show that. Okay, this is why they drafted me as high as they did. They did this without Rome dun DJ Moore did. Wasn't that involved. But, but you see Colston, Loveland, Cole commit. Those guys played really, really well. It's going to be hard for me when people ask, well, who you like in the nfc? I don't know. Yeah, I really don't know because you look at Seattle, you look at the Rams, you look at the 49ers, you look at Chicago, I feel any of these teams can go into other team's building and beat their ass.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, absolutely.
Sports Analyst 1
If you don't play your best football on a given Saturday or Sunday, come playoff time, you're going home. Especially in the nfc because these quarterbacks can light you up. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
And the funny thing you talk about is it's so hard to guess who out the NFC is going to be the one to go to the Super Bowl. It's going to come down to your defense, it's going to come down to the team defense because we know what. We know what they can do offensively, offensively, the quarterbacks you just named. Caleb Williams, Matt Stafford, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold.
Sports Analyst 1
Jalen hurts.
Sports Analyst 2
Jalen hurts. What they. Well, listen, the Eagles haven't looked the same. The Eagles haven't.
Sports Analyst 1
They haven't.
Sports Analyst 2
Listen, last year, it was no question, it was out of shadow of a doubt. Offensive, the Eagles, you know what, they going to Super Bowl. But listen, the nfc, I have no idea. I literally have. No. They look really good. That goddamn Luther Burton, boy, you have arrived, son. But Luther Burton, you. You have arrived. And. And all you got to do now, you know, is you got to keep stacking them.
Sports Analyst 1
Keep it going.
Sports Analyst 2
Just keep stacking them game after game after game. They gonna. They gonna continue to get you. Get you involved. And damn near.
Business Software Advertiser
He.
Sports Analyst 2
Honestly, next year he finna be the number one.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
Cause he doing it. We doing it week in and week out, every week, showing up. I know, I know he had a. A costly drop towards the end of the game, but, but, but, but, but he. Oh, man, he. I like him, boy. I like him, man, but.
Sports Analyst 1
The Bears clinched the NFC north title last night thanks to the packers loss, while the 49ers clinched the playoff spot last week. Both teams are still in contention for the number one seed. The Seahawks right now possess the number one overall seed. They're 13 and three, the 49ers wild card. They're 12 and four. The Bears are in the two slot at 11 and five. The Eagles are in the third slot at 11 and five in Carolina. Tampa will decide the. The. The playoff who wins the NFC south next week when they go head to head. They're eight and eight. Go ahead.
Sports Analyst 2
O. I can tell. I can tell you this right now. I'm not saying. I'm not telling you I got the script, but I know what's going to happen. The Panthers are going to beat. The Panthers are going to beat the Bucks. I'm. I'm a Bucks fan, you know, I'm a Floridian. But I'm just saying the way that this and the way the season is going and as well as it. The Panthers have played all season long, they're going to beat the Bucks. It's a division game. They know each other very well.
Sports Analyst 1
Yep.
Sports Analyst 2
And I just know the edge is going to go to Carolina. And listen, if you're a bed man, listen to me now, and I'm telling you ahead of time. You know, some, some people going to be mad. They're going to be upset that I said this, but the Panthers are going to win that game.
Sports Analyst 1
I think the thing is, and we're going to talk about this a little later. Later. Excuse me. Baker hadn't played his best ball. You can't turn the football over. You, I don't care how well you throw it. If you turn the football over and you give. Teams put the ball in harm's way, bad things normally happen. But when you look at this ball game, I mean, this is the second game. I mean, go. Remember last, last Monday night, Ocho against Indian Indianapolis. We saw what Brock Purdy did. He had five touchdowns, one interception. He followed that up with another virtuoso, a three touchdown, one interception game. Christian McCaffrey, 23 for a buck 40. They ran the ball 34 times, 200, 200 yards. The first quarter took damn near four hours. I mean, I'm like, well, damn, is it the first quarter? Cause I looked up, oh, it's still 10 minutes to go and it's 14. 14.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, I'.
Sports Analyst 1
Damn. Yeah, this was a, this, this was a very good ball game. And this is why quarterbacks look. You, you pray and you, you ask to God, you say, God, I won't ask you for anything else. If I'm an owner or general manager, I'm trying to get a quarterback. Lord, please let him pan out. And if you. He pans out, I won't ask you for anything else. Hey, because you got a Caleb wi. Hey, I want to know. Oo because last year when he wasn't playing that well, they talked about his nail, his fingernails being painted. Do they know his fingernails still painted?
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, yeah, they still painted. It wasn't nothing wrong with him. It wasn't nothing wrong with him.
Sports Analyst 1
But that's not what they said. He can't play. He take the fingernail polish out. He still got his nail painted. How he looking?
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, it look. Hey, Unk, he looks phenomenal. He looks like one of the quarterbacks in Phenomenal. Hold on too. Now, he done this all season long.
Sports Analyst 1
Yes. This ain't no one game or two.
Sports Analyst 2
Games or three game stretch. He's done this consistently all year long, and he's a difference for this franchise. And he's the face of it now.
Sports Analyst 1
Yes.
Sports Analyst 2
And that's something that, that's something that the, the Chicago Bears haven't had for a long time. Something to be excited about, something to go to the games about. And their identity, what used to be their defense is now their offense, because they have someone at the helm that can get it done week in and week out.
Sports Analyst 1
I sure hope they don't go to it because it's going to. You know, everybody seems to want to get a, a dome stadium. So with the hopes, with the hopes of getting a Super bowl, with, with the hopes of getting a Final four, there's enough. There are, there are too many teams already in the rotation. There are too many cities always in the already in the rotation with nice weather. The Arizonas, the New Orleans, the Atlantas, the, the, the, the, the California, the Miamis. There's enough. Chicago, you're going to lose a lot. Denver, you'll lose a lot. Adding a dome stadium. A part of it is the elements. You want to bring somebody in there when it's freezing cold, you want it to be 10 degrees below zero and somebody comes from a. And you beat hell out of the and but everybody wants to be domed and I get it, you know, you want to get a new state of the art stadium and we can entice and the reason for the domes o show because you can have events year round when you're outside. Ain't nobody going in no damn cold. I don't give a damn what type of stadium you got if it's cold outside. But when we got a dome, you can have a Taylor Swift or Beyonce, you can have a track to pull and you, like they said, you can have a final four, you can have a bowl game and things of that nature going on. But I, I just think the thing is when I look at the Chicago, Chicago Bears and I look at what they've done with Ben Johnson and you go out and you get Joe Tuni and you get Dalman at center. Pro Bowl Tuni, Pro Bowler, your guard, Pro Bowler. You look at what they've done to solidify it front to back. Now we want to draft the Luther Burton. We drafted Rome Medun last year. We got D.J. moore, we drafted Colston Loveland in the first round. We add, we add him to a already cold commit man. Hey, what's the Walker, Johnny Walker. Chicago's gonna be good. They're gonna be good.
Sports Analyst 2
They're gonna be good for a while. For a while.
Sports Analyst 1
That division is going to be tough for a while. Detroit, Green Bay, Chicago, San Fran, Los Angeles, Seattle. Boy, that's going to be a battle. Oh yeah, absolutely, that's going to be a battle. But this was a very, very interesting game. I, I knew it was going to come down to whoever had the ball last, but When San Francisco had to. When they had to bow their backs, when they had to stand tall. Yeah, they did it. They stood up. They kept them out of the end zone. Because if you. You let them in the end zone, you lose in this game. Yeah, you let them in the end zone, you lose in the game. But your cause ain't gonna be enough time left.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
It's just not.
Sports Analyst 2
It's. You what, four seconds. Four, four, five seconds on the clock.
Sports Analyst 1
They ran. They ran the lateral, you know, Bo him got it to him. They had to go down there and kill the clock. So I got one chance at the end zone. I got one chance. And give Robert solid his defense, Ben. But they didn't break. They gave up 440 yards of. Of total offense. But hey, Chicago's defense gave up 5. Basically 500. 496.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Yards of total offense. But this was, this game was a very exciting game. Look, I like these type of games, Ocho, because I'm an offensive player. If you're a defensive player, you hate it.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
The NFL loves it more. Fans are like you. And I love people going up and down the field.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
As opposed to. Man, I ain't trying to see no. No 1310 ball game. That's not what they're looking for. Go ahead.
Sports Analyst 2
No, no, no. That's it.
Sports Analyst 1
No, you're good.
Sports Analyst 2
You good. I didn't have to hit every point I could hit. I can hit on that game. And it was exciting. It exciting.
Sports Analyst 1
Next Saturday, OO at 4:30, you got the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the division title on the line. Winner takes all. Somebody's going to the playoffs. Somebody's going home. And then you got the Broncos. And the Broncos win. They're the number one seed. What other game is be interested? Oh, Seattle travels to San Fran. That's a Monday night game, huh? That's Saturday. Oh, they got two Saturday game. Okay, okay. They got two Saturday games, Ocho. My bad. They got the Carolina and Tampa at 4:30. And then you got Seattle San Fran.
Sports Analyst 2
Ooh, hey, hold on. They. That Seattle San Fran might look just like what we saw tonight.
Sports Analyst 1
It might. It might. And then you got Sunday night, Ocho.
Business Software Advertiser
Huh?
Sports Analyst 1
The Ravens versus the Steelers.
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, wait, that's for the AFC North. Huh?
Sports Analyst 1
Winner take all.
Sports Analyst 2
That's for the AFC North.
Sports Analyst 1
I like winner takes all. Those are the games that everybody's going to be locked in on. There's some there, you know, look, the. The Broncos can get slow up home court, the home field. The Patriots are going to be looking. The Patriots could possibly get that Jags. The Jags play the. The Titans. So hey, home field advantage can be. There's a lot to be determined.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Seattle wins. Seattle's the number one seed throughout the playoffs.
Sports Analyst 2
Who?
Sports Analyst 1
The Rams. The Rams got the Cardinals. So we got some games. We. And this is what the NFL wanted. Ain't no, you're not. Listen, first of all, if you're out of play, I don't know about what you do anyway. You can sit whoever you want to go home if you want to. Just say we forfeit. But this is what the NFL wanted because prior oo we had too many games where star players were sitting out where we were resting, getting ready for the playoff. We don't have. We can't move up or down. So we just going to stand pat. Now they have something on the line. Ain't no. Ain't no resting. Ain't no resting. So Saturday you got Carolina, Tampa for the division in. In Tampa. And Saturday night you got Seattle, San Francisco. That could. Yeah. Because whoever. If Seattle wins. Seattle not only wins the NFC west, they also are the number one seed. Right. Gonna be some. Who does that? Who do The Ra. Oh, the Rams. Who does Rams play. Rams play tonight. Tomorrow night, right? Yeah, we don't play well. We know they play Arizona because that's a division game. So they got to be able to division opponent. Oh, the Falcon. Okay. Yes, that's right. The Falcons. Pole Falcons. Ocho, remember we had this conversation. We had this conversation about Carolina that a 73 a 173 lead over New Orleans.
Sports Analyst 2
Yes.
Sports Analyst 1
And they let New Orleans come back and they nipped them and get what won the ball game 20 to 7. I said you might look back and say, you know what? This was the division right here. But still Tampa has lost a couple of games down the stretch. That made this thing a lot more interesting than what we thought it was because Tampa was cruising right along and the next thing you know, they slip and butt their heads and they allowed the Carolina Panthers to get right back in this thing.

Ocho went away from the AFC north title the Steelers lost in Cleveland. The worst time, the worst time of the Tomlin era. Miles Garrett didn't set a sack record today against this Steelers, but he also believed the main reason the Browns were able to get the win. Let's Take a listen to what Miles Garrett had to say. Yes, sir, to an extent. I feel like they're. They were more worried about keeping me away from. From Aaron than. No getting the win, and I think that's what came back to bite him. So, you know, they'll have to, you know, fight it out with. With Baltimore next week, but I'm just proud of the guys for fighting and getting this win. That's the main thing. And I'm always going to keep it.
Sports Analyst 2
That's.
Sports Analyst 1
Oh, Joe, do you agree with what he had to say?
Sports Analyst 2
Absolutely, I absolutely agree. I. I saw double teams, I saw triple teams, and it took away from chips. It took away from them offensively what they wanted to do. Obviously, you don't have DK Metcalf in. If you don't have DK Metcalf, you need to do everything possible offensively to run your offense and make up for the, for the, the productivity that you not going to have from him. And having a chip in double team, goddamn Miles Garrett. The entire game takes away from exactly what he just said, doing the most you can from an offensive standpoint to make sure you win that game. Now, the elements and the conditions played somewhat of a part in it too, as well. But, hell, the Browns had to play in the same conditions.
Sports Analyst 1
Absolutely. Absolutely. I agree with what Miles had to say. They put a lot of emphasis on that. They were more. They. They rolled the pocket more than they normally did. They. Every time they, they. They always had a receiver to his side where. Tight end or receiver. And on the way out, you chip your way out. Well, in the meantime, I mean, you're. You're not getting into that route in a hurry because that's not how they approached Hutchinson. They were more concerned about. Look, we don't want to be a part of your highlight tape. We don't want to be a part of your documentary.
Sports Analyst 2
Or history. Yes, or history.
Sports Analyst 1
So because. So now you're gonna look at like, okay, we didn't win, we come back, I'm trying to win. I'm trying to put people down the field. I'm trying to win the ball game. And if he gets a sack, he gets a sack. So who cares if he gets the sack? If we go ahead and close out the division now, we just made it a lot more difficult. There's no guarantee that you're gonna have T.J. watt. I know you like to have T.J. watt, but there's, there's probably a long shot. It's probably less than 50, 50 that you're going to have it. But I, I, I, I agree. I thought Shador did some good things. I thought, you know, he, you know, even you saw prime grab his hand like, son, you know, you can't do that. You can't throw the ball crossfield, hold it up there like, you can't, you just can't. Yeah, you can't make those kind of mistakes. Turnover premium at this time of year. Go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry.
Sports Analyst 2
You the one you threw to Judy?
Sports Analyst 1
Yes.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. Yeah. Judy got to play DB right down. Judy got to do everything he can in his power to knock that ball down. Even if you're not in a position to make a play, do everything you can to make sure that DB doesn't make it. The, the first interception, the other interception, obviously it was tip. So that, that was unfortunate. There was one that would drop where he threw a goddamn late to the goddamn flat. Knowing good and well you can't throw.
Sports Analyst 1
The ball late to the flat. Especially dropped it the ball heavy.
Sports Analyst 2
So it definitely not going to get there as fast as you want it to. So there's certain things that, that's going to happen. He going to continue to, to learn and grow through those, those pains and, and in those situations and know when those situations arise again, you just can't make, you can't make the mistakes twice.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah. I thought Jerry Judy caught what they threw to him. Hal Fan. And I thought that him going out really hurt them. He tweaked, he had tweaked that growing earlier in the week, and it was very like questionable whether or not he's gonna play. He caught the one deep pass and the next thing you know, he's out. So I definitely think that hurts Shador a lot because he's, he's the guy that he trusts the most to throw to. And I can understand why, because a lot of, a lot of quarterbacks have a lot of faith in the tight end. It's a lot of easy throws for him. It's a lot of shallow cross. There's a lot of drag routes. It's a lot of, you know, five to ten yard routes. Ocho and so that's a, that's a, especially in conditions like this, a defense like that, it's a mismatch. Cause most of the time you're gonna try to put a backer on him and they can't deal with fanning corners or safety. They're not big enough. So he can just maneuver, maneuver them out of the way. But I thought, I thought he did some good Things today. There's still some things he need to improve on, like getting the ball out of his hand. It's okay to get the ball out of your hand. You're not gonna really run away from people. You're not. You're just not. Your feet ain't. Ain't nifty like your dad. But I look the Cleveland give him credit, Ocho.
Sports Analyst 2
Yes, sir.
Sports Analyst 1
I'm glad Cleveland not taking the approach that the Raiders took. Now maybe if. If Miles was not on the cusp of this record, who knows what would happen. Because we know what the Raiders are doing. Ain't no secret about it. We know what they're doing. They didn't want to have any chance to win this ball game. They want a high draft pick. With that being said, Cleveland are going for it. Should do a 17, 23, 186. One touchdown, two interception. He was sacked twice. They really didn't run the ball particularly well today. Nobody did anything well today, Ocho, to be honest with you. 160. 291. 291 yards total offense for the Steelers. Browns had 262.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, it wasn't nothing to talk about.
Sports Analyst 1
It really wasn't. It really wasn't.
Sports Analyst 2
The goddamn Steelers had me kind of nervous now at. Towards the end of that game. Yeah. Denzel Ward came up big twice Ojo. Twice Ojo.
Sports Analyst 1
Help me understand, Valent. I understand you have familiarity with him, but you really like that matchup. Valdez scandal on Denzel Ward. Is that the matchup you really like?
Sports Analyst 2
Who else you going to dk? Mexcaf is out.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't give a do. Hold on. That is a Pro Bowler and you're throwing to a guy that's bounced around the league. How many teams has he been on in the last five years? You're going against one of the premier corners and that's the matchup that you like.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Hold on.
Sports Analyst 2
Premium top three. We talk about top three, but a situation where they have no one else they can go to. There's no one else you can put out there.
Sports Analyst 1
Well, you got. You can't go to him. So how close was he to catch a ball? Let me ask you a question. You watched, he went to him three times. Chad, how close was he completing any of those balls to Scantley?
Sports Analyst 2
No, he wasn't even close.
Sports Analyst 1
He. Maybe he was hoping for a PI. Yeah, but he's not a guy that Denzel Ward feels he needs to PI against. He's like, my technique is exquisite enough. I don't need to do anything special. He can't beat me.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
No. Hell no. I'm not taking. Man, please. I take my chance with John O. Smith. I'll take my chance with A. Friarmouth. I take my chance with Adam Thielen. I take my chance with Kenneth Gantwell on a Texas route or something. I am not effing with Denzel Ward.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, I. I feel you.
Sports Analyst 1
You see what he got? He wasn't even close. None of those balls were even close. And that last ball, he was just hoping for a PI man. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Stack don't attack a stack don't top a Shaq couldn't have caught that ball.
Sports Analyst 2
Gonna go there. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah, man, please. You came out better going to John Smith a fry mo.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
I'm not fooling with Denzel Ward. So you're going to take. I mean, look, and I understand that there is some familiarity with him because he's played with you in Green Bay. I get all of that. Not against that guy.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
So if you got that guy going against Pat Sartan, you got that guy going against Stingley, you got that guy going against Denzel Ward, you really going three cracks at him against them. Man, please. But hey, they know. Hey, they, they, they, they. They. They know what I'm. Coach Towner said he didn't have a problem with that. Okay. What's he supposed to say? I wish you to spread it. I coach. You gonna say that he had eligible. He was. He had Elig eligibility on that play. And certainly he's one of them. That's. He's capable. I got no qualms about us playing to win the game in the way that we did. Yeah. Was it. I don't know what the reporters like. Nah, I wish he'd went somewhere else. He's never gonna say that. The head coach is never gonna say. You trust a quarterback and especially a guy like Aaron Rodgers. My question is against Denzel Ward.
Sports Analyst 2
I mean, you know, you know, before. Before. Before the snap. Aaron takes his reads. Right. Everything is bunched in.
Sports Analyst 1
That chapter's closed.
Sports Analyst 2
Everything is bunched in.
Sports Analyst 1
That chapter is closed.
Sports Analyst 2
Listen to me. I got to have it right now. What other options do I have? And DK Metcalf is not in. Am I trusting Friarmouth in that situation where I got to have it? Good player. Yes. But got the habit moment DK is out, I have no choice but to go to my next best option. I gotta take my shots with 11.
Sports Analyst 1
So you. So. So you're gonna Take your best. Your next best option against one of the three best corners in all of football.
Sports Analyst 2
You have no other options, though.
Sports Analyst 1
Yes, you do. John. New Smith, Friarmouth are better options against those guys. Feeling are better option against the guys they're going with than Band than Scantling is going against Denzel Ward. You can't convince me that. Now, hold on. You telling me that's Chase? You telling me that's Njigba? You telling me that's one of those guys? Puka, Nakua, Devonte. Okay, but also.
Sports Analyst 2
You got me. Hey, hold on. John Lu. Smith was there the whole four quarters. Friedman was there the whole four quarters. The Steelers only had six points with all those names you just had for the next best option.
Sports Analyst 1
Did they pull Scantlin ass out the stands? He was there, too. Make it seem like they got his ass out the stands on the last drive they brought his ass was playing the whole game also. Hell no, man. Look, and I think the thing. Look, you. You worried about Miles Garrett. So you already sped up in your mind. Yeah, because you know 95 is coming, we coming. You got a chip, you gotta. You gotta tackle. You got the guard that's always make. Okay. I make sure he's on the center. I'm always gonna double back. I'm gonna roll the pocket. But in a situation like that, if you roll the pocket, you cut half the field. They know you're not gonna throw all the way back across the grain. So now you got to drop back straight back. The Steelers have lost four games in a row in Cleveland. The quarterbacks for the Browns have been Jacoby Brissette in 22, Dorian Thompson, Robinson in 23, Jameis Winston in 24, Shador Sanders in 25.
Sports Analyst 2
Division game. Division game.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't give a damn who the division is. Ocho. You know that.
Sports Analyst 2
Talk to me.
Sports Analyst 1
Really? Division games against those guys? Thompson's not even in the league.
Sports Analyst 2
The identity's always been the defense. He ain't about the quarterback. It's that defense. That defense held him to six points today.
Sports Analyst 1
All I know is they won four games. So what? Let me ask you a question. So where that defense been in those 12 games they lost?
Sports Analyst 2
Well, hold on. What you. What. What you want them to do? The defense can't put. They can't put up points, too. Now, they could. They. We. We. We can get you the ball back, but you're gonna have to do something with that.
Sports Analyst 1
Somebody's scoring on them. Guess who. The last playoff game they won against Ocho. Who? Steelers. They dropped. They dropped like a hundred points on the Steelers. How many points didn't they score like 38 points on the Steelers. They scored 48 on the Steelers.
Business Software Advertiser
Damn.
Sports Analyst 1
So you keep telling, you keep telling me. The defense, the defense. All I know is Cleveland scored 48.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, listen, we can argue. We can argue the fact that obviously we know offensively they don't put up enough numbers, but their identity has always been their defense. It always has been. The problem they haven't been able to have is a solidify at quarterback. They haven't had someone in that position that oh my God. Okay, we finally got us one. Now we can go from here and put pieces around him.

Dolphins beat the Bucks Ocho it's hard to fathom that the Bucks can still win the division next week despite dropping seven of their past eight games. But if the Falcons lose or tie either the final two games Rest of the Rams to the Saints In Week 18, the Bucks beat the Panthers. The book would get in based on record versus common opponents 4 to 4 versus 3 and 5. Man, I, I, I don't, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened to Tampa. Ocho. I don't.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, yeah, I don't either. I, I saw, I saw Mike Evans. Mike Evans was frustrated on you don't see him show emotion, you know, very, very often, but he was frustrated today. Baker Mayfield was running all over the place trying to make plays work, trying to make things happen. Obviously he used his legs very well. Costly interceptions, interception and the Dolphins just played well today. They played well today. Quinn Quinn Uris he looked nice huh?
Sports Analyst 1
14:22,172 Two touchdowns and that often was.

Sports Analyst 2
Look good too.
Sports Analyst 1
1883 Jalen Wright 5 for 56. Theo Reese Jr. Had one catch for 63 yards of the touchdown Dulik 5 for 58 and a touchdown. Baker Mayfield was 33 of 44, 346, two touchdowns, two turnovers and he had two fumbles. He lost one, so he had three turnovers again. Go back to last week, another heavy turnover Game. Yeah. They get themselves into trouble with Baker, turns the ball over. Jalen McMillan seven catches, a buck 14, Chris Godwin Jr. Seven four, buckle eight and a touchdown. Mike Evans three for 31 and a touchdown. They didn't run the ball particularly well. Bucky Irving. I saw Bucky Irving getting upset on the sideline and Tristan Worth was trying to calm him down, like, hey, we'll be okay. We'll get this thing figured out. Ooh.
Sports Analyst 2
What happened?
Sports Analyst 1
I'm just. This is not. If you're Tampa. I mean, who you. I mean, you mess around and get Seattle, you must run and get the 49ers. You must try to get the Rams coming in your building.
Sports Analyst 2
That's nasty work, boy.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't want that on you going home.
Sports Analyst 2
I don't want none of that. Unless. Hold on. Unless Baker Mayfield has an out of body performance against those teams, you gonna have to match offense for offense. You gonna have to match score for score.
Sports Analyst 1
Quinn Ewers had eight incompletions. What do you think, Stafford? What do you think, Purdy? What do you think? You see, the only thing concerns me about Sam Donald is the turnover machine.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Those other two guys do a very good job of taking care of the.
Sports Analyst 2
Football, taking the ball. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Sam Darnold got the second most turnovers in the NFL. That's not good because that'll get your ass beat come playoff time.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, matter of fact, in Minnesota, what was the problem? What was the problem?
Sports Analyst 1
And got blown out.
Sports Analyst 2
Bingo. There you go. Got to be the Bengals. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
The who? The Bengals.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah. By the score of 37 to 14. But that wasn't the story. The story was guard Cody Ford provided the most surprising places in the field. Ochre, they put him outside. He's a guard. He weighs 303 pounds. Yeah. They threw him a stop. Right. Joe said he went through his progressions. He wanted to throw it to Chase. Chase was covered. He threw it out there to him. Ocho, he's. He's turned and got 20.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, I was. I jumped up my goddamn seat and said, what the. You should have saw Joe Burrow's reaction. Joe Mount was wide open, like, what the hell? That is an office alignment dream. To be able to score a touchdown, maybe run the ball like Refrigerator Perry did, but to go out and line up out wide at receiver.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
Catch a stop, route, break a tackle and gained 20 yards and hold on. Uggie almost scored.
Sports Analyst 1
He almost. If he'd have scored, hey, I would have turned. Give him the espy. That's NFL player of the year if he's a score man. But the Cardinals ought to be embarrassed.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Sports Analyst 1
They gotta be embarrassed, Ojo, but also.
Sports Analyst 2
Uncle, you gotta think about it. You got a 300 pound man out there. Hey, you're not used to tackling that.
Sports Analyst 1
You're not used to tackle low. Why you try to tackle £300 up high?
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, the first dude tried to tackle him. Exactly.
Sports Analyst 1
And he got exactly what he deserved. He got exactly what he deserved.
Sports Analyst 2
But you could tell, you know what, you could tell too before you go on to the next. Next thing you can tell that when he wasn't as big. Yeah, he must have played some type of offense.
Sports Analyst 1
He probably played tight end play.
Sports Analyst 2
He played. He'd play some type of offense to look like that at £300 with the ball in his hands.
Sports Analyst 1
He probably played. He probably played. He probably played. He probably played. Ocho, he probably played the tight end at some point in time. Yeah. Maybe played hoops. Because Ocho, you got to understand that a lot of times they have wrist, you know, wrist protector so they wrist don't bend back. Yeah, yeah, they got a whole. They got the big thick ass gloves on. Yeah, they got everything.
Sports Analyst 2
Everything. Everything taped up too.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah, he caught that thing like it was nothing. Joe was 24, 31, 305, two touchdowns, no picks. He was sacked three times. Chase 22 carries, 101 yards. Excuse me. Chase Brown, 22 carries, 101 yards. Has 7 for 60 for two touchdowns on nine targets. T had 4 for 59 on five targets. Michael Wilson. Michael Wilson. Oh, Joe, I told you this kid here.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, he nice, huh? Hey, he might. He's a. He. He's the number. He's a number. Never mind. I ain't gonna say it.
Sports Analyst 1
Trey McBride 10 for once for 76. He now sets a new NFL record for the most receipt reception of the season by tight end. He passed Zach er. Zach Ertz had the record at 116. He now has 117 with a game to go. I think Chase has one 17 catches, Puka has 114. So it's going to come down. It's going to really come down to the end. Who leads. Well, obviously, you know, lead. Chase is in the afc. Chase is going to lead the AFC and catch us again, but it's going to come down to McBride and Puka who leads the NFC and catches. And I, I think you said Gronk led AFC and tight Titans and catchers once upon a time, But Marvin Harrison Jr. No receptions on one target.
Sports Analyst 2
I remember that play. It was broken up. That play was broken up by. Not Dax Hill. Dax Hill. I remember that play. It was a third down too.
Sports Analyst 1
Jacoby Brissette was 21 of 37, 212. He was sacked four times. They didn't run the football. So Cincinnati, you know, Cincinnati have been playing a lot better defensive. They've been getting after the quarterback. Ocho. They had what, four sacks today. Cedric Johnson had a sack teacher.
Sports Analyst 2
Shamar Stewart finally got a sack.
Sports Analyst 1
Finally got a sack. Miles Murphy had a sack. But they are playing better today than what they played in a very, very long time. And unfortunately it's going to be all for not. When Trey McBride made his first catch of the early in the game in the second quarter, he became the first tight end in NFL history to have back to back 110 catch in multiple seasons. He's the only tight end that's ever going over 100 twice.
Business Software Advertiser
Right.
Sports Analyst 1
Has a titan never had multiple hundred K seasons. He also set an NFL record. We mentioned 117 catch. He finished with 10 catches. Open the scene. Oh, he got 119. Puka's at 114. Right. With tomorrow's game to play. Okay. And chase is at 117. Okay. The Seahawks beat the Panthers by the score of 27 to 10 for the sixth straight win. Still need to beat the 49ers to have the number one seed. Even after winning 13 games, including six straight, the Seahawks will need to beat the 49ers in Week 18 to win the NFC west and secure home field throughout the playoffs. Seattle still needs a gl. Still has a glaring turnover problem. They've given the ball away 28 times this season, the second most in the NFL. Their two fumbles today came via Sam Darnold fumble and an interception. Donald now leads the league with 20 giveaways. Ocho, you turn the ball in the postseason, they're going home. I don't give a Damn. He was 18 or 27. 147 yards, one touchdown, one interception. And he had a fumble. Zach Charbonneau, 18 carries, a buck 10. Kenneth Walker the third, 15 for 51, 36 carries, 163 yards. Jack JSN, Jackson, Smith and Jigba. He had nine catches for 72 yards. So he's gonna. He's got a pace. He got a chance. Ojo at 1800 because he should be at. He had, he had. What do you have? 1639. 1639. So now he's over 1700 with a chance. There ain't a Whole lot of receivers that's ever had 1800. Ain't a whole lot of receivers that's had 1800 yards of a season.
Sports Analyst 2
What's the, what's the record again?
Sports Analyst 1
1964, California.
Sports Analyst 2
How many, how many, how many yards would he need to break that? What, a 200 yard game?
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah, no, he need. He would need a hundred. He's over 1700, so he would need 165.
Sports Analyst 2
Who they play next?
Sports Analyst 1
They got the 49ers.
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, well, hell, the way, the way the game, the way that Luther Burton got.
Sports Analyst 1
Luther Burton got 130something. So I know he like, wait, Luther Burton? And I'm better than him.
Business Software Advertiser
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
And. And they, they. He gonna get way more opportunities too.
Sports Analyst 1
Yep.
Sports Analyst 2
So there's a good chance he might break that record, huh?
Sports Analyst 1
We might. He might.
Sports Analyst 2
Really good chance he might break that record.
Sports Analyst 1
Bryce Young was 14 and 24. 54 yards. Ocho, they had a hundred and thirty nine yards of total offense.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, that goddamn Seattle defense ain't no joke, bro.
Sports Analyst 1
Boy, they coming, boy. D Law played out of his damn mind. He got a. He had a sack. D Long going to the Pro Bowl.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. Hey, how come he was like this with. With the Cowboys, wasn't he?
Sports Analyst 1
He went to the Pro Bowl a couple times.
Sports Analyst 2
You heard me. Wasn't he, Wasn't he good there?
Sports Analyst 1
He got injured. He got kind of got nicked, but he needed to have a change of scenery. He needed to go somewhere else. He needed to be somewhere else. D Law had a sack and a FOMO recovery. Mafy had a sack. But yeah, Seattle's playing. I mean, this gonna be a. That game next week. Seattle and 49ers.
Sports Analyst 2
Ocho, they might score 40 a piece.
Sports Analyst 1
They might.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Eagles survived. The Bills 13 to 12. The Eagles built up a 13 nothing halftime lead thanks to the defense. But The Eagles pointed five consecutive possessions in the second half, allowing the Bills to creep back. Per ESPN research, the 2025 Eagles are the first team since the 1987 Patriots to win multiple games in a season in which they didn't complete a second half pass. Hurst is the first quarterback in the play by play era, which means 1978 to go all seven or worse in multiple games in a season. Philadelphia improved to 9 and 0 this season when Hurts throws for fewer than 200 yards.
Sports Analyst 2
That's funny how that works. And it is mind boggling to me how it, how it makes sense, how, how in games where he doesn't throw for a lot, they still win the game in some of the games where he's thrown for a lot. They've lost those games.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't think he.
Sports Analyst 2
I don't want to say.
Sports Analyst 1
Ocho, do you know how many yards, how many yard, 300 yard games he got? I think he got one 300 yard game this year. Ojo, hold on.
Sports Analyst 2
I forgot what the stat line was in the fourth quarter. How many yards offense did they have in the second half? 17.17un how is that even possible? I don't care nothing about the elements, I don't care anything about the conditions. How do you have 17 yards of offense total and still win a game? I, I don't, I don't get it.
Sports Analyst 1
He has one 300 yard game this year. Oo and that was my thing. Ocho. I could see. I agree with what McDonald with the Seahawks did. Ocho.
Sports Analyst 2
Yes.
Sports Analyst 1
Because if I kick the field, if I kick the Pat Ocho, the next score wins the game. I'm going to win it or lose it in my possession. Ocho, in this situation, they had 17 yards in the second half. They had done nothing. I'm going to take my chances in overtime.
Sports Analyst 2
Yes, sir.
Sports Analyst 1
I'm not gonna. Because far too many times is teams bail them out. I'm gonna make. I'm gonna make Jalen Hurts beat me until 13 to 27. 110 yards. They had 82 yards rushing on 26 carries. They had 200 yards of total offense.
Sports Analyst 2
That's crazy.
Sports Analyst 1
They had 200 yards of total offense.
Sports Analyst 2
That's crazy. There's some plays, I'm sure that go.
Sports Analyst 1
To Ocho, you go to over Ocho. If it's a situation where they go a team going up and down the field, we can't stop. Oo they had 17 yards in 30 damn minutes.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, that's crazy.
Sports Analyst 1
And even, Even though Josh had him. Josh had him. He rushed and throw. He missed it.
Sports Analyst 2
Well, he's. Hey, he saw that pressure at his peripheral. Huh? That pressure made him speed up his throw. Listen, that was easy. That was easy. All right. For us sitting here, that's not at quarterback and we don't have a DN or a D tackle, you know, that we can see in our peripheral vision coming down to hit us, it's a little different. It's easy for us to say, oh, it was an easy throw. But that's not how it looked to Josh Allen.
Sports Analyst 1
It's an easy throw for that guy. For an NFL MVP quarterback.
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah. Oh, yeah. For the average fan, the hell no. That's not easy.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
But he rushed it when he didn't have to. He had more time than anything. They sped him up. But I would have kicked the pat. I mean, look, and maybe because, hey, if he doesn't block, remember, they got the first PAT block. He kicked it low.
Sports Analyst 2
And Carter.
Sports Analyst 1
And Carter blocked.
Sports Analyst 2
Hold on low. Boy, you see how high Jalen Carter was, man?
Sports Analyst 1
Stop it, Ocho. That ball. You see that damn ball, man, that ball was so damn low.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, I. I don't know. I heard Jalen Carter got like a 40, 42 inch vertical.
Sports Analyst 1
Boy, no.
Sports Analyst 2
Now, that's just what I heard.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah. Okay. I don't know where you heard that from, But. No, I. I just. I'm. I'm go. I'm. I'm going. If it's a situation like this, let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, like tonight's game is back and forth.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
I don't want neither one of these teams to get the ball. I'm gonna try to. I'm gonna try to win it because I don't believe. I don't believe. I don't believe my defense. I don't believe my defense can hold. But because you saw what both team was going up and down the field. Hats off to the 49ers. But in that situation, Ocho, I'm gonna play for overtime. Yeah, because they haven't done anything and. I know, I know, Ocho, guess what? I'm gonna get a possession. It's not the first team to score. So if that's the case, Ocho, if I win the toss, I want the Eagles to get the ball. Hold on.
Sports Analyst 2
You know what? And I can say this on why we already going to the playoffs. We already going to the playoffs, so why am I worried about overtime?
Sports Analyst 1
I want to win the game. Theoretically, they still have.
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, okay.
Sports Analyst 1
But we still had a chance to win to the division.
Sports Analyst 2
Right? I understand. I understand. I can see. I can see if this game was on the line and we. We have no choice but to win it for us to make the playoffs. Okay, now that's different. I'm playing for overtime. But hell, we going anyway. Whether we get the first seed, whether we get.
Sports Analyst 1
Whether.
Sports Analyst 2
Whether we get a buy or not. You know what? I'm gonna try to win this game. I'm gonna try to win it. And I think that that's the only explanation I can think of, why they.
Sports Analyst 1
Did what they did and what you call them again. Your guy was a healthy strat, a healthy scratch.
Sports Analyst 2
He, man, I.
Sports Analyst 1
It was funny. Oh, oh. You remember the first conference it was funny. Guess where I got this from? I'm about to go back funny.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
But boy, let me tell you something. When the rubber need to meet the road.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
They not laughing. Ochocinko couldn't be Ochocinko if he not producing. They ain't putting up with that. Oh, no, they're not putting up with that. Shannon Sharp could not talk the way Shannon Sharp talk if Shannon Sharp wasn't producing on the field. It's simple. All those funny lines and Kiki kid and you out there dancing. They say, bro, he ain't learned. They say, Ocho, he ain't learned his lesson.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah. And listen, my antics was way over the top on the field.
Sports Analyst 1
In the play was way over the top.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, it matched up. Can I tell you something real quick?
Sports Analyst 1
Go ahead.
Sports Analyst 2
Just for the people in the chat. There are two players in the NFL right now that have the best personality by far. If they can get their games. It doesn't have to be equivalent to their personality, but anywhere near, just anywhere near in the realm as close to their personality is on the field. Boy, they would run the NFL. Keon Coleman if his game, if he can get his game to match his personality. And they goddamn Xavier legged. Oh my God, they can run. I'm talking about, I. I'm talking about off the field.
Sports Analyst 1
Well, you got to get up against press coverage. It's kind of hard to be a good receiving NFL if you can't get off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
Listen, that, that'll keep you in the league for a long time, huh? Being able to be man. Yeah, that'll keep you around for a long, a long.
Sports Analyst 1
But if you can't beat man coverage, you either selling cars or coaching or.
Sports Analyst 2
You give me your office coordinator. Hell, because he always gotta create ways for you to get open.
Sports Analyst 1
No, no, no. You don't get off here that long because you'll be out the league.
Sports Analyst 2
That, that too.
Sports Analyst 1
You got to if you're a wide receiver. If you play that position, you got two choices. Either get beat man coverage or you're selling cars or you're coaching. Those are your only two options. Oh, you know what? There's another one. Now. A lot of NFL players, guess what they do. Ocho. The personal trainers. Ah, so I, I add another one to the list. You coaching, you selling cars or you personal training?
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, you just gave me an idea for another job. I'm glad you just said that.
Sports Analyst 1
All that Kiki Ki and all that, all that stuff, that, that's fine and dandy. Yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, I wanna, I wanna work with them two boys right there so bad, boy, I wanna work with them boys so bad. When Keon Coleman get back to Buffalo next year, they ain't gonna have no choice but to have him on that field. I need Xavier Leggett down here in Miami with me. I need you for one month. That's it. But I love y' all boys. Boy, y' all is special. Y' all could be special. I'm telling you. I see it with my own eyes, man. Give me one month, please. That's it.

Ojo the Steelers have declined to void DK Metcalfe $45 million in guarantees after his altercation with the the Detroit fan resulting in the two game suspension per Jay Glazer. And we're this is Jay Glazer talking the Fox Insider. This is what Jay Glazer said this morning about DK Metcalf altercation with the Lions fan Ryan Kennedy. I actually have the security communication between the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks security from the game last year when DK Metcalf, when he was with the Seahawks complained about this exact same fan to security. He asked that the fan be removed over derogatory comments. I'm not going to repeat what those comments are on here. Obviously we do not condone ever hitting a fan or anyone else. But this is to say when investigated during the game, individuals around him state and corroborated that the fan was being out of line and indeed said these derogatory comments. They even asked us to remove the ugly guy. Now Ocho, this is what. Now hold on. Now this is what was said last year. Let's, let's put context. This was DK went to his security, he asked that the fan be removed because he was saying things that was derogatory. The security investigated and asked people that was around him. Yes, he said what DK said. He said. Now that's not to say that he said it this time, but there is a history with this young man because he made it seem as if this was so far out of the realm of possibility or probability that he would ever say anything in which DK said. He said, it's just hard for me, Chad, and I could be wrong. I could be dead ass wrong. But it's hard for me to believe DK would react in the matter in which he reacted because somebody called that man his government name even after he said he said it on Steelers radio when he did an interview. I prefer that called me Decaylin. But it's so hard for people to pronounce I just go by DK and let it rock.
Sports Analyst 2
I mean, listen, I said what I said for a reason. Everybody talking about, oh, why you lying? Why you doing this? The man ain't finna lie, man. Not finna lie. And it's okay, you know. You know, those that want to take up for the lion fans and take up for Mr. Kennedy, I mean, so be it. No one is reacting like that based on someone just saying your government name over and over and over. You just don't. You don't.
Commercial/Promo Announcer
No.
Sports Analyst 2
And then they have the audio that comes out. The audio is not even the actual individual we talk about.
Sports Analyst 1
That's his partner. That's his. That's. That's somebody that's related to him. The video that came out, I think that's his. It's his son. His son recorded that. And then I think it was his nephew that said he's been going to the game trying to get this reaction. And it finally worked.
Sports Analyst 2
Hey, it's unfortunate, but obviously I knew the Steelers weren't going to avoid, you know, the remaining guaranteed money. I mean, that's. That's not gonna. That's not gonna happen. They weren't gonna do that. So I'm happy for him. I just. It sucks that DK now has to deal with going to court and having to, I'm assuming, maybe settle. It won't be a significant amount, you know, like. Like this guy maybe thinks he's gonna get based on the past history and in the proof of the past history of allegations or abuse or whatever it may be. And I just. What bothers me is as you go to a game and instead of acting like a civilized fan, you act like an asshole. You act like an asshole, and all of a sudden, when something happens, now you get in front of the camera with your lawyer, and now all of a sudden, you're so civilized. You know, you so perfect. Now you the goddamn victim. But you out there at the goddamn game acting a fucking ass with your blue wig on, you know, making a fool of yourself, making the rest of the Detroit lion fans look bad. Enjoy the game. Haggle from afar and just enjoy the goddamn game. All shenanigans is unnecessary.
Sports Analyst 1
I hold. I hold the Lions culpable for this, because if they was a communication between the Seahawks and the Lions and, you know, he said this, why would you allow him to come back? Even when fans around that area said he uttered what he uttered last, When. When the Seahawks came there last year, the fans around in this era area said, yes, he said Those things. Lions. Why would you allow. Because you revoked somebody's tickets that got into it. Who did he get into it with last year? They got into it with somebody last year and they took their season tickets from them. They took the tickets from them.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
See, this could have. This could have been. This could have been remedied. See, the. The NFL didn't have a choice but to suspend him because they try to remove themselves from culpability here, you know, Lawsuit coming, Ocho.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, I mean, listen, ain't gonna be. And listen, ain't gonna be that. I could tell you. I could tell you that ain't gonna be that.
Sports Analyst 1
Yeah, yeah. And they. They removed the fan. Right, Right. You remember the guy last year that got into it with Leflore?
Sports Analyst 2
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Sports Analyst 1
What did. What did Green Bay do? They took his tickets. Now, in this situation, the security. Right, right. That's what I'm saying. But it's. Hold on. From what. From what Jay Glazer said. I actually have secured security communication between the Detroit Lions and the Seattle Seahawks security from the game last year when DK was in Seattle and complained about the exact same fan to security. He asked that the fan be removed. Over derogatory comments. I'm not going to repeat what those comments are. Obviously, we don't condone ever hitting a fan or anyone else. But in this, it says. We investigated during the game. The individuals around him states and cooperate what the fan was being out of line and indeed said these derogatory statements. They even asked us to remove the guy. Now, with that being said, why would not the Lions. This is their fan. This is one of their ticket holders. Why wouldn't they do that? This could have been removed. When the fan had the altercation with LaFleur last year, they took his tickets immediately.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, listen, one thing about it. What? The coach. Oh, they. Oh, they not having that. They not have. They not having that.
Sports Analyst 1
Why not? Hold on, Ocho. He did everything right. See, this is what people get upset with the system. I do everything right, and the system still fails me. Ocho. I do everything right. You said report it to your security. Security goes to the Lions. They talk to people in the area. And you still fail me. What choice do I have? I felt I had nowhere else to turn. You wouldn't take proper steps, proper precautions. Now, guess what's gonna happen. Now they want to remove his. Now they're going to want to remove it. They're going to want to remove. They're going to want To. It's too late. Oh, why would you close the barn door once the cows are out?
Sports Analyst 2
That's a good one. I like that. Yeah. Hey, it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate. And listen, I'm all I'm all for, and you know I am. And I know you like that, too. I love being in hostile environments. I love fans talking trash. I love talking back. But now you think you're. You're. You're. You're invisible because you understands. Well, now I can get away with saying whatever I want. Like, come on, man. Come on, now.
Sports Analyst 1
But you remember, they're only words when some people use words against others. They're more than words when other people use other words against others.
Sports Analyst 2
Come on, now. I'm listening. I'm picking up what you're putting down. You ain't got to explain it to me.
Sports Analyst 1
Some things are offered without explanation. What's understood don't need to be explained. And chat. Y' all know what I'm talking about. All I'm saying is DK did everything he was supposed to do. He reported the incident to his security. Security took it to the Detroit Lions. Jay Glaze. Now, if it's a lie, Jay Glazer. Not true. I know Jay. Been knowing him a long time. If he says he had. He was the one that broke a. A spygate, he actually had the footage. And maybe if he didn't have the footage, because they might have. Would have tried to sweep that under the rug, but he had the actual footage. Now, with that being said, he says, I have the communications. The NFL is going to want to know. Want to know why the Lions didn't do anything. I can promise you that.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
The NFL is going to want to know. Okay. If you had this information and it was corroborated that he said this, why was he still allowed to come into this building? Because they got all these fancy slogans. Aspire change say no to hate. They got all these things written on the helmets and on the field and all that.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, yeah. Hey, guarantee I know one thing. Won't have no more problems at any more fans no time soon.
Sports Analyst 1
No, this is. No, no, no, no, no. Because, I mean, some fans go to the thing, try to. To. To try to incite that kind of. And then it's just. And people. What. What makes me. Is only words. A lot of people have been killed behind words.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah.
Sports Analyst 1
Is that what you go to the. Is that what you go to the game for?
Sports Analyst 2
No.
Sports Analyst 1
Is that what you go to the game for?
Sports Analyst 2
Listen, you can go to the game. You can heckle, you can have fun, you can talk trash. But going, going, going derogatory.
Sports Analyst 1
Derogatory. Being derogatory, using racial. That is not, that is not heckling. It's never been heckling.
Sports Analyst 2
Yeah, I know, I know that part. That's what I said. But going that far, that, that's, that, that's, that's a no, no. And you know, you know that.

Sports Analyst 1
And all you, all I, all I can do is do. What I'm supposed to do is go through my security. They go through their, they go through the proper channels, meet with the Lions and says, look, this gentleman here, their fans in the air area that cooperate. What DK said, he said fans in the air area heard him say it and cooperated. The NFL is going to want to know why didn't the Lions take the proper steps. Because we saw last year when a fan had a confrontation with Matt LaFleur, they removed. They took his season tickets. Yeah, the NFL is going to want to know why. Why wasn't something done to this gentleman.
Sports Analyst 2
But you know the NFL, they move swift too, that they're going to put a rule in place now for the fans. They gonna put a rule in place now.
Sports Analyst 1
They should.
Sports Analyst 2
And it's gonna happen swiftly. So anytime there's an issue at a game, they gonna make sure this doesn't happen again. They're going to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Sports Analyst 1
You a Ocho. You sorry. You suck. You're not good. Your team.
Sports Analyst 2
That's good. That's okay.
Sports Analyst 1
When you start, when you start using, when you start using whatever derogate, whatever term, whether it's an Asian, whether it's whomever, black, Hispanic, whatever the case may be. Once you start using derogatory terms.
Sports Analyst 2
Right.
Sports Analyst 1
That's not heckling. Yeah, yeah.
Sports Analyst 2
You don't cross the line.
Sports Analyst 1
That's not. You start talking about somebody's wife or kid, that's not heckling. So we. This notion that, oh, that's all a part of it. And you know that's not a part of it. It's never have been. Because if that's the case, well, I don't know why they're trying to do shut down all these things. All I know is that they trying to. They're trying to take a lot of free speech, but they tried to take certain people's free speech. Listen, what I'm saying, read between the lines. Now.

In this "Best Of" NFL Week 17 edition, Shannon Sharpe and his co-host (referred to as Ocho) break down the nail-biting games that defined the playoff landscape. Their energetic and candid discussion covers red-hot quarterback performances, controversial defensive battles, standout young talent, and the heated DK Metcalf-fan incident. Expect passionate analysis, in-depth stats, and real locker room talk as the hosts debate which teams are peaking, who’s falling off, and the culture around fans and players as the postseason arrives.

"It's not too soon. He's been in the league long enough. Ocho, there wasn't a defense." (07:05)
“…Their identity, what used to be their defense, is now their offense, because they have someone at the helm that can get it done week in and week out.” (11:29)
"I feel any of these teams can go into other team's building and beat their ass." (07:05)
[08:35–16:39]
[21:25–33:44]
“They were more worried about keeping me away ... than getting the win, and I think that’s what came back to bite them.” (21:43)

[39:25–48:43]
"That is an offensive lineman's dream ... but to go out and line up out wide at receiver ... break a tackle and gain 20 yards ... he almost scored!" (41:00)
[48:52–54:26]
“The 2025 Eagles are the first team since the ‘87 Patriots to win multiple games in a season where they didn’t complete a second-half pass.” (49:32)
“How do you have 17 yards of offense total and still win a game? I, I don’t, I don’t get it.” (49:56)
[58:03–70:52]
“I actually have the security communication between the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks security... individuals around him state ... the fan was being out of line and indeed said these derogatory comments.” (58:15)
