John returns after an action-packed NFL Wild Card Sunday capped by sensational rookie QB Jayden Daniels leading the Washington Commanders to a 23-20 win over Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. John salutes the Commanders, led by potential NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, for winning their first playoff game since 2005 in the most exciting game of the NFL playoff weekend. Middlekauff tips his cap to the Commanders ownership and coaching staff for turning around one of the NFL’s worst organizations, and explains that Jayden Daniels is a superstar in the making. Next, John breaks down Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers valiant effort in a close playoff loss, detailing why the former No. 1 Overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner left it all on the field this season. After, John looks ahead to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs and briefly previews Commanders vs. Lions, Ravens vs. Bills and Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Houston Texans. Then, John blasts the media for a barrage of puff pieces on high-profile coordinators like Brian Flores, Kliff Kingsbury and other former failed head coaches in the NFL carousel. After, John takes a look at the AFC vs. NFC and suggests that there’s NO WAY you would pick the field against the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Finally, thoughts on Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, the dumpster-fire New York Jets and the College Football Playoff’s National Championship between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
