Super WildCard Weekend Recap with Alex Bleuel


Super WildCard Weekend Recap with Alex Bleuel


In this episode, Alex Bleuel and I recap Super WildCard Weekend. First, we look at another classic playoff showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, which SF won 23-17. For Dallas, the No. 14 proved to be very unlucky. Not only did Dallas commit 14 penalties, but the Cowboys were unable to spike the ball after Dak Prescott's QB sneak. We did not understand running an odd QB sneak without any timeouts and no room for mistakes. We also look at the struggles for Dak and SF's Jimmy Garoppolo. After the 49ers-Cowboys chat, we look back the first Cincinnati Bengals playoff win in 31 years over the Las Vegas Raiders. We look at the continued domination of Cincy's dynamic duo - Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. The former LSU teammates connected with each other nine times on 12 targets. We also look back at a crazy season for the Raiders, which came to an end Saturday night. We look back a pair of great quarterback displays from this weekend's slate. First, we look at how Josh Allen and the Bills handled the New England Patriots in frigid Orchard Park. In that game, Buffalo scored seven touchdowns without punting, kicking a field goal, or committing a turnover. Allen also torched the Pats for five TDs in his best playoff performance. Alex unloads on what he feels is an overrated NE football team. Then we look at Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes throwing for over 400 yards and five touchdowns in a 42-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. We look at how KC handled a slow start before its offense heating up throughout the game. We then discuss how the Rams and Bucs won to setup their playoff meeting on Sunday in Tampa. Finally, we each pick who will have the biggest say during the Divisional Round. Alex picks Tennessee running back Derrick Henry coming back from a foot injury. I pick Buffalo's running back Devin Singletary. In a game likely to see plenty of scoring, Singletary's recent surge could give the Bills the edge to win in KC.
