But 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 Purdy had himself a night tonight. 2433, 303, three touchdowns. He had an interception. Christian McCaffrey says, hey, y' all know I'm still versatile. 23 carries, a buck 48. He had a touchdown. Brock Purdy six carries, 28 yards, two touchdowns. Ricky Pierasol five for 85. Jake Tongs had seven for 60 and a touchdown. Juwan Jennings two for 42 and and a touchdown. And Christian McCaffrey always going to show up in the stat sheet on the receiving end. Four catches, 41 yards. But they made a 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, they put the ball into the end zone. They didn't kick any field goals or Joe O what did you like about what you saw from this ball game?
Ocho
Listen, obviously the way the game started off ank and you players need to understand Pie and Juwan Jennings when I go two by two, right? And you watch film, you go two by two. First play of the game. 98% of the time, Jaylen Johnson knows, okay, they going slam flat. They going slam flat right away.
Unc
What does he do?
Ocho
He ain't even. He ain't even. He said, forget the quarterback. He didn't budge up. He didn't do no restep. He didn't do nothing. He sat there, he jumped it. Boom. They jumped that touchdown.
Unc
Seven nothing.
Ocho
Game. Seven nothing. Right there off the bat.
Unc
Yep.
Ocho
Outside of that. On. There was no defense played after that play.
Unc
They tried.
Ocho
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.
Unc
Oh, you talk about with the Rams.
Ocho
Yeah. Yes.
Unc
On that Monday night game. Yes.
Ocho
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 the 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.
Unc
George Kittle was out.
Ocho
George. George Kittle was out. Ricky Purcell played well. Hey, is. Is it time to talk about Brock Purdy being in elite conversation or is it too soon yet?
Unc
No, it's not too soon. He's been in the league. He's been in the league long enough. Ocho, there wasn't a defense. But you're Talking about maybe 2 of the signal callers in all of football. You talk about Ben Johnson, 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 McVeigh. We know Andy Reid. 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.
Sophie Cunningham
He's going to.
Unc
And everybody, 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 Roma dun DJ Moore did wasn't that involved with. But you see Colston, Loveman, 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.
Ocho
Yeah, absolutely.
Unc
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.
Ocho
Yeah. 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.
Unc
Jalen hurts.
Ocho
Jalen hurt. What they. Well, the, the. Listen, the Eagles haven't looked the same. The Eagles haven't.
Unc
They haven't.
Ocho
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 idea. They, they look really good. That goddamn loser burden, 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, keep it going, just keep stacking them game after game after game. They going, they going to continue to get you, get you involved and damn near he honestly next year he going to be the number one. Yeah, cuz 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, but he, oh man, he, he. I like him boy. I like him, man.
Jalen Noel
But.
Unc
The Bears clinched the NFC north title last night thanks to the packers loss, while the 49ers clinched a 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. They, 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.
Ocho
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 Pants 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 to and as well as the. 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.
Unc
Yep.
Ocho
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.
Unc
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 harm's way, bad things normally happen. But when you look at this ball game other, I mean, this is the second game. I mean, go. Remember last, last Monday night, OO against Indian Indianapolis, we saw what Brock Pie did. He had five touchdowns, one interception. He followed that up with another virtuoso, a three touchdown, one interception game. Christian McAffrey 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 is the first quarter because I looked up. Oh, Joey. Still 10 minutes to go and it's 14. 14. Yeah. I'm like, well, 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 pay it out. And if you he pans out, I won't ask you for anything else.
Ocho
Anything else.
Unc
Hey, because you got a Caleb Wick. 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 fingernail still painted?
Ocho
Oh yeah, they still painted it. It wasn't nothing wrong with him. It was nothing wrong with him.
Unc
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?
Ocho
Oh, it look. Hey, Unk. He looks phenomenal. He looks like one of the quarterbacks in in phenomenal. Hold on too now. He done done this all season long.
Unc
Yes. This ain't no one game or two.
Ocho
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.
Unc
Yes.
Ocho
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.
Unc
I sure hope they don't go to it because it's gonna. You know, everybody seems to want to get a dome stadium. So with the hopes, with the hopes of getting a Super bowl, 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 Arizona's, the New Orleans, the Atlanta's, the, the, the Miami, 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 warm weather 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 Ocho 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 Dman at center, Pro bowl tuning, Pro Bowler, your guard, Pro Bowler, you look at what they've done to solidify it front to back. Now we're going to draft the Luther Burton. We drafted Rome Dun last year. We got D.J. moore, we drafted Colston Lubin in the first round. We add, we add him to a already cold commit. Man. Hey, what's the. Walker. Johnny Walker. Chicago's going to be good. They're going to be good.
Ocho
They're gonna be good for a while. For a while.
Unc
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.
Ocho
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Unc
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're losing this game. Yeah, you let them in the end zone, you're losing the game much. Oh, because ain't gonna be enough time left. Yeah, it's just not.
Ocho
It should. What? Four seconds. Four, four, five seconds on the clock.
Unc
They ran, they ran the lateral, you know, Boot hooked it to him, got it to him. They had to go down and kill the clock. So I got one chance at the end zone, I got one chance and give Robert solid his defense bend. But they didn't break. They gave up 440 yards of, of total offense. But hey, Chicago's defense gave up five. Basically 500 496.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
Yards total offense. But this was, this game was a very exciting game. I look, I like these type of games, Ocho, because I'm an offensive player. If you're a defensive player, you hate it. Yeah, the NFL loves it more Fans are like you and I love people going up and down the field 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. O.
Ocho
No, no, no.
Unc
That.
Ocho
That's it.
Unc
Now you good.
Ocho
You good. I. I didn't have to hit every point I could hit. I could hit on that game, man.
Jalen Noel
It was.
Ocho
It was exciting. It was exciting.
Unc
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 Broncos win. They're the number one seed. What other game is be interested? Oh, Sam. 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.
Ocho
Oh, hey, hold on. They. That Seattle San Fran might look just like what we saw tonight.
Unc
It might. It might. And then you got Sunday night, Ocho. The Ravens versus the Steelers.
Ocho
Oh, oh, wait, that's for the AFC North. Huh?
Unc
Win or take all.
Ocho
That's for the AFC North.
Unc
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 sew 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 a home field advantage can be. There's a lot to be determined. Yeah, Seattle wins. Seattle's the number one seed throughout the playoffs.
Jalen Noel
Who?
Unc
The Rams. The Rams got the Cardinals. So we got some games we got. And this is what the NFL wanted. Ain't no you're not. Look, first of all, if you're out of playoff, don't nobody care. Damn. 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 Ocho, we had too many games where star players were sitting out while we're resting, getting ready for the playoffs. We don't have. We can't move up or down. So we just gonna 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 the NFC west, they also are the number one seed.
Jalen Noel
Right.
Unc
Gonna be some. Who does that? Who do the Ra. Oh, the Rams. Who Does Rams play? Rams play tonight, tomorrow night. Right.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
I don't. We don't play. Well, we know they play Carol Arizona because that's a division game. So they got to build a division opponent. Oh, the Falcon. Okay. Yes, that's right. The Falcons. Po. Falcons. Oo. Remember we had this conversation, we had this conversation about Carolina. That a 73, a 173 lead over New Orleans.
Ocho
Yes.
Unc
And they let New Orleans come back and they nipped them and get what won the ball game 20 to 7. I say, 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 bump their heads and they allowed the Carolina Panthers to get right back in this thing. What else? What a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat. Everybody showing that stuff. School prize game like this. Yeah. It calls for an ice cold Coca Cola.
Jalen Noel
Ah.
Unc
Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And in ice cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
You know what separates the pros from the rest? It's not just talent. It's how you respond. When the game gets tough. Do you dig in? You fight back. And when it comes to your health, that same mindset matters. Yeah, especially if you or someone you care about is facing metastatic prostate cancer. There's a treatment called pluvicto, lutetium Lou177 vapivatide, tetraxitan. And it's changing the game.
Unc
Plovicto isn't chemo. It's a different kind of treatment that targets PSMA positive cells, including prostate cancer cells. Plovicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Here's the official word. Pluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCR PC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Now let's talk safety. Pluvicto involves contact with radioactivity, which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception and talk to your doctor about how to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation during and after treatment.
Unc
It can also cause low blood cell counts, kidney problems and infertility. Tell your doctor if you notice weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising, more easily, an infection or changes in urination.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain, and constipation. Look, every day matters, and if you're in the fight or know someone who is, this is a conversation worth having.
Unc
Ask your doctor about Plavicto because just like in football, every play, every decision, every second counts.

All right, go to the next topic. Okay, we got a very special guest joining us. He's joining us. He's linking up as we, as we speak right now. Here he is right here. It's time to welcome Texas wide Texans wide receiver Jalen Noel. He caught a 54 yard touchdown yesterday in the win the third round pick out of Iowa State, the Cyclones. The Texans also drafted his teammate Jaden Higgins in the second round. You and Higgins became the second rookie duo in NFL history since 1938. To each score touchdown reception of 40 plus yards in the same game. Now when they look, we call plays in practice, you're like, man, y' all ain't gonna be called. Man, y' all need to stop. Got me running all these deep ass routes. Y' all know y' all ain't gonna call it in the game. So yeah, you run it in practice and all of a sudden you hear them dial it up in the huddle in the game. You're like, what you like. Okay, it was open in practice. I sure hope they play this coverage right now. Right now.
Jalen Noel
Oh yeah. I knew when they called the personnel what the play was going to be.
Unc
Okay.
Jalen Noel
Yeah, yeah, we've had to play for a little while. Scheming up, scheming them up, knowing what coverage they would be in. So when they caught it, made the most of my opportunity and the rest was history.
Ocho
Hey, what, what is, what is the experience like? You know, being a rookie obviously going from college. Has the NFL been everything you thought it would be?
Jalen Noel
I would say there's some, some things that are definitely different that I thought it would be going into it. Obviously the business like nature of the league is something that's completely different than college, even though college is kind of evolving with nil. But it's a whole nother level at this, within this, this multi billion dollar corporation. So that, that part of the game is different. But in the locker room with the Texans, the culture is there. So that's, that's no different in college. So you got, you got leaders like Aziz Al shire, Derek Stingley, C.J. obviously those guys in the locker room, so they've kind of made it feel like home. But there's definitely some adjustments to get used to, and I feel like throughout the season I've grown and gained confidence.
Unc
How is it having. Look, a lot of times when you leave college, you. You go into a new city that you probably haven't been to, haven't spent a whole lot of time there, but you got a teammate that played with for a couple of years at Iowa State, and you get drafted, he goes in the second round, you go in the third round, did you hit? So how soon was it like he gets drafted and the next call you get, you get drafted and you go into the same. You going to the same team, you're like, bro, you not gonna believe this.
Jalen Noel
Ah, crazy. Honestly, when I seen him get picked, I was like, I. I scratched the Texans off my. My little paper.
Ocho
Me and my mom had a list.
Jalen Noel
Of teams and I'm like, I'm definitely not going there. He already went. So when I. When I got the call from Nick Casario, it was definitely shocking being able to team up with him again. Had just played two years with him at Iowa State, and the chemistry we have built on the field obviously made the transition a lot easier and somebody you can talk to and work with throughout the process. But no, it was kind of a surreal moment finding out I was going to team up with him again.
Unc
But this is also marked the seventh time in the super bowl era, the Super bowl era, 1966. The seventh time that a team has started 0 and 3 and make the playoffs. When you die, look, you lose the first game, and a lot of these games you were losing close, and you're like, damn, how were you able? D', Amico, your head coach, how was he able to keep you guys together and say, guys, look, I understand the first quarter poll. We're all. We look, we're owing three. We won in three, but all is not lost. Let's just stay together and let's just get one by one. We don't worry about what's going to happen 10 weeks from now, 11 weeks from now. Let's just worry about getting better throughout the week. Let's watch film, be attentive, and then play each game step by step. How was. How was he able to keep you guys together? Because a lot of times starting on three, think about it. Since 1966, that's 60 years, only seven teams have been able to start 03 and still make the playoffs.
Jalen Noel
Yeah. Like you said, keeping a team together after starting 03 is something that's tough and something I've learned within this League, it's hard to win games, so when you go down.03, you know, you're kind of in a hole. But it was really just the resilience that I feel Coach d' Amico try to instill in us throughout fall training camp. And really, the guys we had on the team, the leadership, knew we would be good and we were in a bad area, but we had confident guys like CJ in the locker room making sure guys is ready to go on the defensive side. That defense is crazy. So when you have a defense like that, ridiculous. When you have a defense like that, you know you're going to be in game. So as long as we can minimize, minimalize the mistakes that we were making earlier on in this season, we knew we can make make things happen. And so we. We won eight straight so far, but not done yet. And that's another thing, Coach, Coach Mikko, keeping us curious, see what we can get better at. Continue to find possible weaknesses within our game so we can go into these playoffs ready to compete.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, now that we are towards the end of the season, you guys are preparing yourself for the playoffs, Obviously. Last game coming up next week. Have you had a welcome to the NFL moment this season yet? We like, oh, my goodness. Okay, I'm finally here.
Jalen Noel
I'm not going to lie to you. It just happened last game.
Unc
For real.
Jalen Noel
Yeah. Darwin James, he's a monster. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. Obviously, you know, he's been in the league for a while.
Ocho
Yeah.
Jalen Noel
You see the scouting report. You know what he's about, the physicality he brings within the game. So, you know, going in there, having to block him, he's not stopping. When I tell you he is not stopping, he sees a tackle, he got some blitz assignment, whatever. He. He's not stopping. So you got to anchor down. I'm not gonna lie. The first time I go in to block him, he's at the nickel, big star position. Whatever I go in to block him, I get hands on.
Ocho
Right.
Jalen Noel
He was not having it. Drove me right to the ground. I was like, all right, all right. At least it was a good run, though. He ain't make the tackle, so.
Unc
I.
Jalen Noel
Let him know about that. But nah, respect to him. He's been in the league for a while, great player. So he definitely gave me my welcome to welcome to the league moment.
Unc
And yeah, I think also you got to give a big pat on the back because when you're starting quarterback out, C.J. went out. Davis Mills comes in and he wins three games for you now, because a lot of times that's what you hope to have happen. Your backup comes in when your starter's out, and he can keep you afloat until your starter gets back. You probably lose one or two of those games. You're not in the position that you're in. Talk about what Davis meant. Him being a. Being a pro, being in this league before and understanding the opportunity and seizing that opportunity when C.J. goes down.
Jalen Noel
I just think the way he prepares, you see it. You see him in early every. Every day doing the extra to. He's preparing like he's a starter. And he's honestly been. He's kind of been here before this new generation of. And he's still young within the league, but he was here before C.J. and he kind of helped C.J. get to where he is now a little bit in terms of just if CJ had questions on how certain things went and how to do certain things. But no, he. He was always staying prepared. Even in training camp. I'm going through early morning walkthroughs, going through the script with him, and he stays ready. And he's a guy that everybody can rely on, everybody trust. And we know when he had to go in there for them three games, that he would step up and make big plays and just the spark that he gave our team and to just go and win those three games like y' all said, it was. It was huge for our season.
Unc
Well, congratulations on your rookie season, man. Keep plugging away, stay healthy, best of luck the rest of the year and come back and talk to us soon. That's Jalen Noel, the rookie Texans wide receiver caught a 54 yard touchdown on Saturday. Congratulations, man, and keep up the great work.
Ocho
Hey, hold on, hold on. Hey, Jaylen.
Jalen Noel
What's up? O. I got.
Ocho
Hey, I got a question.
Jalen Noel
Yeah.
Ocho
Hey, how you live in Houston and stay focused.
Jalen Noel
Yeah, I got my boy Hutch with this question. I was already prepared for it. N. I'm. I'm engaged to my beautiful.
Unc
That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.
Ocho
Listen, I'm glad you said that because me and Unc, we finna get engaged in 2026. We finna have a double win, double wedding. Yeah.
Unc
Houston, go ahead and get engaged and do. And get married tomorrow if possible, because the longer you postpone it, the less likely you are to get married. Jayla, I'm just telling you.
Jalen Noel
Not at all. It's right after the season Right after the season.
Unc
Right after the season. Congratulations, man. Best of luck, man. Tell your family I said hello from Nightcap and we'll talk to you soon, bro.
Jalen Noel
Yes, sir. Thank you for having me.
Unc
Thanks for coming on. 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 the 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.
Ocho
Yes, sir.
Unc
To an extent. I feel like they're. They were more worried about keeping me away from. From Aaron than 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 one. That's the main thing, and I'm always going to keep it that. Ocho, do you agree with what he had to say?
Ocho
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're 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.
Unc
Absolutely. Absolutely. I agree with what Miles had to say. They put a lot of emphasis on that. They rolled the pocket more than they normally did. They had. Every. Every time they. They. They always had a. 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 document or history.
Ocho
Yes.
Unc
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 and 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. But go ahead, Ocho.
Ocho
I'm sorry. You the one you threw to Judy.
Unc
Yes.
Jalen Noel
Yeah. Yeah.
Ocho
Judy got to play DB right down. Judy got to do everything he can in this power to knock that ball down. And even if you're not in 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 an 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 the ball late to the.
Unc
Flat, especially in dropped it the ball heavy.
Ocho
So it definitely not going to get there as fast as you wanted to. So there's certain things that that's going to happen. He gonna continue to, to learn and grow through those, those pains and in those situations and know when those situations arise again, you just can't make, you can't make the mistakes twice.
Unc
Yeah. I thought Jerry Judy caught what they threw to him. Hal Fan. And I thought that him going out really hurt them. He tweet 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.
Ocho
Nice.
Unc
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 10 yard routes with Joe. 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 them credit, Ocho.
Ocho
Yes, sir.
Unc
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 to 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.
Ocho
Yeah, it wasn't nothing to talk about.
Unc
It really wasn't. It really wasn't.
Ocho
The goddamn Steelers had me kind of nervous now at towards the end of that game. Got Denzel Ward came up big. Twice.
Unc
Ocho.
Ocho
Twice.
Unc
Ocho. Help me understand Valder Skilling. 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?
Ocho
Who else you going to DK MetaCamp is out.
Unc
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.
Jalen Noel
Yeah. Top.
Unc
Hold on.
Ocho
Premier. Top three. We talking 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.
Unc
Well, you got. You can't go to him. So how close was he to catch him up? Let me ask you a question. You watch. He went to him three times. Chad, how close Was he completing any of those balls to Scantlin?
Ocho
No.
Unc
Wasn't he close? He maybe he was hoping for a P.I.
Ocho
Yeah, he.
Unc
But he's not a guy that Denzel Ward feels he need to PI against. He's like my technique is exquisite enough. I don't need to do anything special. He can't beat me.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Unc
No. Hell no. I'm not take man, please. I take my chance with John O. Smith. I 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.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
I feel 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 stacked on tackle a stacked on top of Shaq. Couldn't have caught that ball.
Ocho
Couldn't have caught that.
Unc
Yeah, yeah, man, please. You came out better going to John O. Smith a fry mouth.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
I'm not fooling with Denzel Ward. So you're going to take. I mean, look, and I understand that there's some familiarity with him because he played with you in Green Bay. I get all of that. Not against that guy.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
So if you got that guy going against Pat Certain. You got that guy going against Stingley. You got that going 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 Tom said he didn't have a problem with that. Okay. What's he supposed to say? I wish you to spread. Of course you gonna say that he had eligible. He was. He had eligibility on that play and certainly he's one of them that 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 going to say that. The head coach is never going to say. You trust a quarterback and especially a guy like Aaron Rodgers. My question is against Denzel Ward.
Ocho
I mean, you know, you know, before. Before, before the snap. Aaron takes his reads. Right. Everything is bunched.
Unc
That chapter is closed.
Ocho
Everything is bunched in that chapter is closed. 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 to have it moment DK is out. I have no choice but to go to my next best option. I gotta take my shots with with 11.
Unc
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.
Ocho
You have no other options though.
Unc
Yes, you do. John New Smith. Friarmouth are better options against those guys. Feeling are better option against the guys they're going with. Then banned, then scare scam. What a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride. Game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
You know what separates the pros from the rest? It's not just talent. It's how you respond when the game gets tough. You dig in, you fight back. And when it comes to to your health, that same mindset matters. Yeah, especially if you or someone you care about is facing metastatic prostate cancer. There's a treatment called pluvicto, lutetium L177, vapivitide, tetraxitan.
Unc
And it's changing the game. Plovicto isn't chemo. It's a different kind of treatment that targets PSMA positive cells, including prostate cancer cells. Plavicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Here's the official word. Pluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy. Now let's talk safety. Pluvicto involves contact with radioactivity, which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm. Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception and talk to your doctor about how to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation. During and after treatment.
Unc
It can also cause low blood cell counts, kidney problems and infertility. Tell your doctor if you notice weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection or changes in urination.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Side effects include decreased blood cell counts, tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, joint or back pain and constipation. Look, every day matters and if you're in the fight or know someone who is, this is a conversation worth having.
Unc
As your doctor about Plavicto because just like in football, every play, every decision, every second counts.

A medicine company is going against Denzel Ward? You can't convince me that. Now, hold on. You telling me that's Chase? You telling me that in Jigba. You telling me that's one of those guys? Puka Naku, Devonte. Okay, but also.
Jalen Noel
Got me.
Ocho
Hey, hold on. John Smith was there the whole four quarters. Fragments was there the whole four quarters. The Steelers only had six points. With all those names you just had.
Unc
Did they pull. Did they pull scantling ass out the stands? He was there, too. You'll 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're worried about Miles Garrett, so you already sped up in your mind. Yeah, because you know 95 is coming.
Ocho
We coming.
Unc
You got a chip, you gotta. You gotta tackle. You got the guard. That's always 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 could have to feel 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.
Ocho
Division game. Division game.
Unc
I don't give a damn who the division is. Ocho, you know that.
Ocho
Talk to me.
Unc
Really? Division games against those guys? Thompson's not even in the league.
Ocho
The identity's always been the defense. Ain't about the quarterback. It's that defense. That defense held him to six points today.
Unc
All I know is they won four games. So what? Let me ask you a question. So where that defense being in those 12 games they lost?
Ocho
Well, hold on. What you want them to do? The defense can't put. They can't put up points, too. Now they could. They. We can get you the ball back, but you're gonna have to do something with that.
Unc
Somebody's scoring on them. Let me ask you a question. When was the last. When was the last time the Browns made the playoffs?
Ocho
That's. That's a great question.
Unc
So have they made the playoff? Did they make the playoffs in 22 what about 23 or 24 and they're not gonna make it in 25.
Ocho
When the last time they made it, huh? It wasn't that long ago.
Unc
Baker, I think. Baker's. Yeah, in 20.
Ocho
20.
Unc
20.
Ocho
2020. Yeah. So it's been five years.
Unc
Guess who the last playoff game they won against Ocho?
Ocho
Who?
Unc
Steelers. They dropped. They dropped like a hundred points on the Steelers. How many points didn't it score? Like 38 points on the Steelers. They scored 48 on the Steelers.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Damn.
Ocho
What year that was? 2020.
Unc
So you keep telling. You keep telling me. The defense. The defense. All I know is Cleveland scored 48.
Ocho
Yeah, listen, we can argue. We can argue the fact, obviously, we know offensively they don't. They don't put up enough numbers, but their identity has always been their defense. It always has been. The problem with. They haven't been able to have. It's a solidified 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 build and put pieces around him. That's always been their issue.
Unc
The Ravens and the Steelers will play Sunday night in Pittsburgh. The winner takes the AFC north and the number four seed in the playoff, the loser. Their season is over.
Ocho
Yeah, they lucky we not in it. I know that.
Unc
Ocho. I'm interested to see if you. You agree with me.
Ocho
Talk to me.
Unc
I'm starting Huntley. What? I'm starting.
Ocho
You talking about you.
Unc
What?
Ocho
You playing Madden?
Unc
Nope.
Ocho
You talking about real life?
Unc
Yep.
Ocho
Man, please, you tripping. You can run the same offer as you did, right?
Unc
Yep.
Ocho
And make sure you stick to the same formula when you got. When you got OO back there. I'm talking about eight. I'm talking about a young bull from Pompano. Just run the same form. There's no need to start. Huntley. You can't put the. Huh?
Unc
Because I know he's back there. So I'm going to ask him to do more.
Ocho
No, you don't have to ask him to do more.
Unc
If that was the case. So why did. Why did you do that against New England? Derek him was in the backfield. 18 carries, 128 yards, two touchdowns. So why didn't you. Why haven't you been doing that? If you got eight back there? You know he came off a hamstring injury. Why didn't you do what you did with Huntley in Green Bay?
Ocho
Hey, but you hear what I'm saying, right? If you just come. You just coming off a game, right? You understood. You understood what you had to do to win. You understand how you won. So common sense as a coach, from upstairs to downstairs, you take the same form that you beat Green Bay with, and you do the same thing against goddamn Steelers.
Unc
Let me ask you a question. Is Lamar gonna be able to get out of harm's way like Huntley did last night when Green Bay.
Ocho
Are we questioning Lamar Jackson? Lamar Jackson ability to.
Unc
I'm questioning. Has he looked like Lamar Jackson since he's gotten back?
Ocho
No, not, not.
Unc
Why not? You said he's Lamar Jackson. You say don't question his ability. Has he looked since he came back from that injury, has he looked like Lamar Jackson?
Ocho
No, no, not the one. Why not? Because he's coming off injury.
Unc
So therefore, start Huntley. Thank you. See, that was so hard. Was it, Ocho?
Ocho
Nah, I don't like where you're going. I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying loud and clear. I'm like.
Unc
I'm like.
Ocho
You're going, well, that's. That's like saying, well, hell, you know what? Just. Let's just. Just for the sake of argument, okay? Patrick Mahomes not playing well, right?
Unc
No.
Ocho
Let's say Josh Allen's not playing well or Joe Burrow's not playing well. They don't look the same as what we're used to seeing him look. Are you saying put the backup in, like. No, it just makes no sense.
Unc
No, no, no, no, no, Ocho, we've seen it before. We see Guy. Hold on, let me ask. In 1990, Jeff Hotsteller, Phil Sims, injured, Jeff Hotstetler stays in, goes through, they win the Super Bowl. All I'm saying is we know Lamar Jackson is a better quarterback, but Lamar Jackson isn't healthy. Therefore, if he's not healthy, you can. And this is the problem that we have a 70% Lamar Jackson is better than anybody. Are you telling me 70% Lamar Jackson better than a 100% Huntley? Absolutely. If that was the case, they should.
Ocho
Come on now, man.
Unc
The problem is, think about what you would have happened. Think about when Lamar went out if you start Huntley instead of Cooper Rush. See, therein lies the problem. You started a guy that hasn't played well. That's neither here nor there. This is a whole different argument. I believe you should have started Huntley to begin with, but I'm saying this based on what I've seen. Plus, he's got a hamstring and he's got a back injury.
Ocho
I'm starting Huntley okay, listen, on that we can, we, we can agree to disagree on that. But I'm going with the player who gave me my best chance to win. I'm going with my two time, my two time NFL mvp. I'm going with him. I am not off of one game. Oh, he had one great game where he isn't the reason why we won. The reason why we won is because what the young bull did in the back, in the backfield.
Unc
That, that, that, that King Henry we go, we gonna come back to this. Now it's time to welcome Jacksonville receiver. He had back to back 100 yard games. He had eight catches for a buck 15 and a 2317 win over the Colts. And he had 145 yards and a touchdown against my Bronco. I don't know what he, he just went crazy. He found himself against us. Let's welcome to the show, guys. Parker Washington. Parker, how you doing, bro?
Parker Washington
Hey, doing good. How about yourself?
Ocho
Hey, hey, A.P.
Parker Washington
Dub, talk to me, man.
Ocho
Listen to me real quick, man. Listen, I'm glad you on here, right? Talk to believe. We gonna talk about you real quick. You know what Unc just said?
Parker Washington
What he say?
Ocho
He said the Ravens should start Tyler Huntley against the goddamn Steelers instead of Lamar Jackson. Would that sound what that said? Yeah, see, you see exact. That, that was my exact. Come on, bro, talk to me. What you think. Just give me your honest opinion real quick. I'm about to get mad.
Parker Washington
There's no conversation there. Right.
Ocho
Okay, okay, okay. I understand. You got, you got, you got to play it safe.
Unc
You got to play it safe.
Ocho
But anyway, hey, listen, bruh, please tell me, what does it feel like? What does it feel like to. To. To be being productive at the end? JV and Duvall, what does it feel like?
Parker Washington
Lessons, man. I mean, I feel like for me it's just getting back to being myself.
Jalen Noel
Yeah.
Parker Washington
I mean the tough part about it, just staying confident as I've been in the league, but just getting these opportunities, I just want to make the most of it. And yeah, it's just been great. And I mean, we're having a great year at that, man. It's exciting. And when you hear that DU ball every week and we're going crazy, it's like, come on.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Parker Washington
They loving that.
Ocho
What has the experience been like out there so far, man? Now obviously you guys are winning, so I know the city's on fire. I know the city's on fire. You know, the energy, the atmosphere, you know, game time. What has it been like out there. I haven't had a chance to be out there at the state. I forgot the name of the stadium. But I haven't been there since I played way back in 2005. So it's been a long time since I've been out there. But what is the atmosphere like, being that you guys are winning right now?
Parker Washington
I feel like people don't even know what to think. It's like, you see, like, go out with my family or whatnot. Walking along the street, you, you, you hear from fans that are like, I've been fans since the 90s and it's like, we got Yalls back. I feel like in Duvall, this fan club, they have your back and like they, they show love and they, they're real life, die hard Duvall fans. And it's been so cool and I can't wait to keep and keep going and see what we can do.
Unc
What's happened the last two weeks? What has been different between you and what you've been able to do against the Broncos? You had the breakout game against the Broncos, and to show everybody that it wasn't a fluke, you followed it up with another outstanding ball game today against the the Indianapolis Colts. What is. What. What is different? What is different with you or Coach Cohen giving you opportunities? What has changed? So, because something split, I feel like.
Parker Washington
So we came back after the bye week, me and Liam had a great conversation of just how things will look moving forward and said definitely we'll see more opportunities. And pretty much it just comes down to just having someone else believe in you besides yourself. You know what I mean? And being able to have a coach, the head coach at that, and everybody, the whole staff believe in me, the court, Trev, being able to believe in me and trusting me to make these plays on Sunday, it just changed the game because now it's not me just having to have just confidence in myself. I can go out there and be myself, be free, have some fun and just go make plays. And that's felt like the big change for me is just having the whole organization believe in me. And it's just been special and I'm just excited to keep making plays with him.
Unc
Not only the head coach, he's also an offensive coordinator. Go ahead, Ojo.
Ocho
Now what I'm going to say, the funny thing about it is one thing about it, the good thing about it for you is, is when you get those opportunities and you make the most of them like you've done the past two weeks, back to back, boom, in them in the rooms that you not in. And those conversations ahead with the quarterback and the head coach, the one who called the plays, they gonna start dialing up specifically for you, understanding what your strengths are and what you're good at and what you can do. They're gonna put the ball in your hands.
Parker Washington
Come on.
Ocho
So you. I mean, you listen, you. You setting yourself up. I ain't talking about setting yourself up for this year in the run y' all gonna make in the playoffs. I'm talking about for the long haul, going forward.
Unc
For real. What is the. What is the biggest misconception that people have about Trevor Lawrence? He's the number one overall draft pick. He was kind of anointed once he got out of high school. There's, like, this guy is a future number one draft pick. He goes to Clemson in his true rookie season, rookie year, and he wins the national championship. He gets back his last year, the second next year, and they lose to Joe Burrow, and. But he comes out, he's the number one pick. He had a little success, and then people like, man, he'll bust. He'll bust. But over the last five or six games, I don't know what's happened to Sunshine, but he. Man, he been dealing.
Ocho
Sunshine.
Parker Washington
He's crazy. And I feel like. I mean, the most important thing is, like, greatness takes time, you know? You know, it's not. I mean, I wish we can. A quarterback could just come in here and just ball out day one. I know it's been. You know, it just takes time. And I looked at. Look at that for myself as well. Like, it takes time. This is my third year, and I'm pretty much just taking those steps now. So. Greatness takes time. You just got to stay patient. You know, a lot of people don't have that patience, and they'll lose that trust and belief in you early. So I feel like for him, I mean, he just continued to be him. He's always been special, and I feel like we've got a staff that just. Everybody just clicked, and that's all it takes. I mean, you look at the Rams, like, a couple of years ago, like, they put a unit together, won a Super bowl, and then that is how it works in the league to me. So I feel like it's just been special to see it come together for him. And he's balling, he's confident, he's leading even more like. More like verbal. And it's just been exciting, and I know he's excited, and this team is special for Sure.
Unc
A lot of people don't know you're not the only family member that's in NFL. You have a sister Ashton, watching Washington and she's serving as a full time female scout and player personnel coordinator with the Chicago Bears. How proud of you, of are you of sis. That she's doing something. She's trailblazing a path. The first, but also for other young women to come along and say, you know what? I want to be in the NFL and I can't play, but I can scout. I can be in the player personnel department.
Parker Washington
She's a beast. That's all I can say. She's a beast. And just her journey has been so special. As a brother, I'm just so proud of her and excited to see all that she accomplished and she keeps me going and she'll say the same thing about me. But I'm super proud of her and she's going to continue to just do her thing and you know, it's already written for. She's got to stay the course and keep having fun with it and enjoy the journey.
Unc
Well, let me ask you this. What'd you say? Hey, sis, let me ask you this. Since you're in the scouting personnel department, what kind of grade what you scout, your boy? What you what your boy looking like?
Parker Washington
You know, she'll be big. She'll be big sis and be like, my, my, my, my brother's a baller. And then, you know, she'll keep it real too. But you know, she gonna be big sis at the end of the day first, so it's so cool. I mean, I feel like that's, that's awesome. Just to hear what she has to say, like, and get the inside scoop of things, how the NFL works. It's just been so cool.
Unc
Wow, that's awesome, man. You have unbelievable. Hey, I don't know why you had to have that breakout game against my Broncos, man. You was just.
Parker Washington
Hey, it's only right.
Unc
You did what you did. You did. Hey, man, I don't know what it is about, about Jacksonville coming to a, a mile high and doing the number on us, man, but we. Hey, I hope we get y' all again, man. We got to do something bad to y', all, man. Cause y' all little Duvall out here running around talking about DU ball, he'd be going crazy. He told me. Hey, but man, congratulations on all your success. Congratulations to your family and all the success that your sister's having in the scouting department at Chicago. Tell your family hello. Hopefully you had a Great holidays. I know. I don't know if you had family. Your mom, dad, other family members came in town to. To celebrate with you, but congratulations on a great season. Stay healthy, keep it going, and good luck in the playoffs.
Parker Washington
Thanks so much.
Ocho
Hey, wait, hold on. I got one more. I go, y', all, we all play next Sunday. No, I know they play Sunday. I'm saying, where. Where do you.
Sophie Cunningham
We.
Ocho
Y' all play?
Parker Washington
Who do we play?
Ocho
No, where. Where y' all playing?
Unc
We playing Duval. We play home.
Ocho
Hey, man, let me. Hey, let me get a ticket. What's up?
Pharmaceutical Announcer
You.
Ocho
You go pull up? Yeah, hold on. Can I get a ticket in the sideline pass. You know I'm right. You know. You know I'm in Miami.
Parker Washington
How about say if you pulling up, you good?
Ocho
Oh, well, I'm gonna. Hey, I'm finna send you a DM on Instagrams.
Parker Washington
Lock me in.
Ocho
All right, Bet.
Unc
Love.
Parker Washington
Come on.
Unc
Congratulations, man. Stay healthy.
Parker Washington
Appreciate y'.
Unc
All.
Parker Washington
Thank y' all so much.
Ocho
Ocho, what's up?
Unc
We put a poll up. Well, it's closer than you think. Only 54% of the chat said they would start Lamar Jackson over the Steelers next week.
Ocho
Hey, you know, this is the funny one. This is a funny one, because the fact that we have football people that enjoy the game, that have watched Lamar Jackson play, where they're hurt, whether injured, whether healthy, that would actually sit him down for Tyler Huntley, who I respect. I like Snoop. I know. Much respect to Snoop, obviously, and understanding that they won the game running the ball. It had nothing to do with the quarterback play.
Unc
Yes, it did. Oh, Joe, don't do that.
Ocho
I'm confused.
Unc
Oh, Joe, don't do that.
Ocho
I didn't do nothing. I'm.
Unc
You did.
Ocho
Derrick Henry ran for 2,000 yards against the Green Bay Packers.
Unc
So. So what about the. What about that touchdown pass? What about those timely throws? They didn't mean they didn't do nothing. Huh? What about those timely runs, y'?
Ocho
All? Y' all can't be serious. You can't be serious.
Unc
I'm dead ass. I'm confused. You see? No, I'm confused.
Ocho
You played it. You have your season on the line with a chance to not only win the AFC north, but to make the playoffs. And you talk about starting you back up. What are we talking about?
Unc
You make it seem so. Let me ask you a question. If Lamar Jackson is healthy, why wasn't he starting in Green Bay?
Ocho
He wasn't healthy.
Unc
There you go. That's my point.
Ocho
Well, he's gonna Be healthy this week.
Unc
How are you so sure?
Ocho
What you mean how I'm so sure?
Unc
How you so sure you're gonna be healthy? Who said that? You a doctor?
Ocho
No, I ain't.
Unc
Last I checked, you're not Leanne Curl. I know Leanne Curl, the team doctor.
Ocho
But I can tell you this. I guarantee he'd be healthy. And I bet he play. I guarantee you that.
Unc
I'm saying, Ocho, All I'm saying is, is that he needs to be a hundred percent or as close as possible. Because if he's not Ocho, who's 100% and we can. Snoop Huntley.
Ocho
Nobody on the NFL. You heard me. Nobody is 100%.
Unc
Snoop Huntley is.
Ocho
So. Snoop Huntley. So if that's the case, they might well just let Lamar Jackson go since you believe in Snoop so much. If you believe in Snoop so much. The cat. No, no. If you believe in Snoop Huntley that much, they might as well let Lamar Jackson go. If you believe he should be the quarterback of the future if that's the case.
Unc
Nah, ain't nobody said, man that you.
Ocho
Ain'T making no sense. See, you couldn't be no gm. You couldn't be no head coach.
Unc
I could.
Ocho
You know what all them. All them coaching jobs that I said you need to be, you can't be no coach. First of all.
Unc
First of all, you couldn't be a GM because anybody from Florida. Anybody from Florida go get a hundred million dollar contract no matter what position they play. You not gonna criticize any wide receiver. So that's first and foremost.
Ocho
Hey, hold on. I. I've been very critical now. Oh, I've been very critical. I didn't got way better than that.
Unc
Oh, no.
Ocho
Hey. Oh, hell. Hey, you know what? You acting like you know what this remind me of?
Unc
What?
Ocho
When Jerry Jones said we gonna be all right, we. We gonna be better without Michael Parsons. That's what you sound like saying. Tyler Huntley needs to start for the goddamn Ravens. We gonna be fine. And that's the way that gives us our best chance to win the game against the goddamn.
Unc
I believe I. I believe a healthily Huntley will be more effect effective than a so. Ocho.
Ocho
He he.
Unc
Ocho, you know, you seen him play. He's not the same. His legs aren't the same. You know it. I'm not saying the guy's not. This is not to take away a two time mvp. We're not talking about anything like that. What we're talking about is that he doesn't look the Same the last three, four weeks of the season. He doesn't. And anybody that's watching and being honest knows that Lamar Jackson doesn't look the same.
Ocho
A Lamar Jackson that doesn't look the same. A Lamar Jackson that doesn't look the same. The past three weeks that you talk about is still better than 90 of the quarterbacks in this NFL. Like, come on, man. What are we talking about? Come on.
Unc
Don't.
Ocho
Don't do that. Come on, now. Come on, now. I. I love you.
Unc
Hold on.
Ocho
Matter of fact, you drinking tonight?
Unc
Nope.
Ocho
You mean you saying this shit sober?
Unc
Sober. Tweeted it early, too.
Ocho
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. You know what? Hey, you. Hey, you troll this. Hey, you. I'm being punked on. You.
Unc
You.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
You.
Unc
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ocho
Hey, hey. I know. Asking him ass. He punking me.
Unc
Nope.
Ocho
Man, come on, man. Hey, but you know what? That's okay. That's okay. I mean, that. That's how you feel me, you know, I'm not even a Ravens fan. You understand?
Unc
I mean, give them their best chance to win the game. I mean, your team. I mean, if I'm them, they should. They should rest. Joe Burrow don't run no risk of getting him for what. What you playing him for?
Ocho
Because he wants to play. That's what people do. That's what competitors want to do. They want to play. He don't care about us not being in the playoffs. They don't care nothing about that.
Unc
I mean. I mean, how many times y' all gonna miss the playoffs?
Ocho
Two. The last two years.
Unc
I mean, y' all missed the playoff about three years. About three times since he been.
Ocho
The last. The last two years.
Unc
I don't know. I'm talking about since he been there.
Ocho
Oh, well, hell, we can't make it every goddamn year.
Unc
Oh, yeah, you can.
Ocho
We. We not as fortunate as the Chiefs. We're not as fortunate as the Eagles. You know, we. You know, we. We had. We had a down year. We'll be back next year, though.
Unc
Y' all had a down last year.
Ocho
Well, sometimes you have two down years.
Unc
O. Joe. The Steelers have declined to void DK Metcalf $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 gonna 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, chat. 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.
Ocho
I mean, listen, I said what I said for a reason. Everybody talk about, oh, why you lying? Why you doing this, man? Ain't gonna lie, man. Not gonna lie. And it's. It's okay. It's okay. 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, this. 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. No. And then they have the audio that comes out. The audio is not even the actual individual we talk about.
Unc
That's it. That's. That's somebody that's related to him. The video that came out, I think that's his. His. It's his son. His son recorded that. And then I think it was his nephew that says he's been going to the game trying to get this reaction. And it finally worked.
Ocho
Hey, it's. 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. And having to, I'm. 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. 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. You act like an. And all of a sudden when something happens, now you get in front of the camera with your lawyer, and. And now all of a sudden, you're so civilized. You know, you're so perfect. Now you're the goddamn victim. But you're out there at the goddamn game acting a 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. Heckle from afar and just enjoy the goddamn game. All I hope shenanigans is unnecessary.
Unc
I hold. I hold the Lions culpable for this, because if they was 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. Like, who did he get into it with last year? They got into it with somebody last year, and they took their season tickets from him. They took the tickets from them.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
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 tried to remove themselves from culpability here. You know, lawsuit coming. Oo.
Ocho
Yeah. I mean, listen, ain't going to be. And listen, ain't going to be that. I could tell you. I could tell you that ain't gonna be that.
Unc
Yeah, yeah. And they. They removed the fan. Right, Right. You remember the guy last year that got into it with Leflore?
Ocho
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Unc
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 corroborate 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 they had. When the fan had the altercation with LaFleur last year. They took his tickets immediately.
Ocho
Yeah. Listen, one thing about it was the coach. Oh, they. Oh, they not having that. They not have. They not having that.
Unc
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 gonna want to remove. They're gonna want to. It's too late. Oh. So why would you close the barn door once the cows are out?
Ocho
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.
Jalen Noel
You're.
Ocho
You're invisible because you understands. Well, now I can get away with saying whatever I want. Like, come on, man.
Unc
Come on now, Ocho. 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.
Ocho
Come on, now. I'm listening. I'm picking up what you're putting down. You ain't got to explain it to me.
Unc
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 Glaze and natural. I know Jake 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 on 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. Yeah, 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.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Hey.
Ocho
Guarantee you I know one thing. Had no more problems at any more fans. No time soon.
Unc
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, look, it's just. And people. What. What makes me. Is only words. A lot of people have been killed behind words.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
Is that what you go to the. If that what you go to the game for?
Ocho
No.
Unc
Is that what you go to the game for?
Ocho
Listen, you can go to the game, you can heckle, you can have fun, you can talk trash. But going.
Unc
Going derogatory. Derogatory. Being derogatory, using racial. That is not. That is not heckling. It's never been heckling.
Ocho
Yeah, I know. I know that part. That's what I said. But going that far, that's. That's a no. No. And you know. You know that.
Unc
Of course.
Pharmaceutical Announcer
Of course.
Unc
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 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.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
The NFL is going to want to know why. Why wasn't something done to this gentleman.
Ocho
But you know the NFL, they move swift too that they're gonna put a rule in place now for the fans. They're gonna put a rule in place now. They should it it it and it's gonna happen swiftly. So anytime there's an issue at a game, they're gonna make sure this doesn't happen again. They're going to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Unc
Use. Hey, Ocho, you sorry you suck. You're not good. Your team.
Ocho
That's good.
Unc
When you. That's okay. 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.
Ocho
Right.
Unc
That's not echoing. Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
You don't cross the line.
Unc
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 yeah, they tried to take certain people's free speech. This is what I'm saying. Between the lies. Now, this is Eva Longoria from Hungry for History with Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez Rejon. Like the song says, it's the most wonderful time of the year and also a wonderfully busy one. All that merriment can weigh down even Santa's sleigh. So keep it wonderful by keeping yourself wonderful with a crisp, cold Coca Cola. Ah, pause for fizzy joy. Look out for yourself and then look.
Ocho
Out for everyone else.
Unc
And together we'll make this season as wonderful as it's meant to be. Enjoy a Coca Cola. Refresh your holidays. What do you do when things get tough? You don't give up. You stand your ground. If you've been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and have tried hormone therapy, ask your doctor About Pluvicto. Lutetium, LU177 viptivatide, tetrexitan. Pluvicto is not chemotherapy. It's a different treatment that targets PSMA positive cells. Bluvicto can be used before chemotherapy for some people Bluvicto is a prescription treatment used to treat adults with prostate specific membrane antigen positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer or PSMA positive MCRPC who have already been treated with hormone therapy and are considered appropriate to delay chemotherapy.
