3 And Out With John Middlekauff

Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL conference championship games. They start with the Seahawks beating the Rams in a heavyweight fight style shootout and Colin highlights the special teams lapses by the Rams as the reasons Seattle won the game (2:00). They give huge credit to Sam Darnold for two outstanding back-to-back seasons resulting in a Super Bowl appearance and being the winningest quarterback in the league since he took over for the Vikings (8:45).  Colin argues that the NFC was the superior conference all year and points to the Rams roster that lost as evidence (28:45). They move to the Patriots beating the Broncos 10-7 in a blizzard and Colin argues the game was useless once the weather started (32:45). They agree that Sean Payton made a huge mistake not kicking a chip shot field goal in the first half to go up 10-0. Colin argues that if Bo Nix plays, Denver wins the game (41:00).   Finally, they discuss the hire of Mike McCarthy
