In this action-packed episode, we break down the latest NFL playoff chaos, big coaching hires, and thrilling college football matchups:

**Chiefs:** Kansas City’s defense comes to life with 8 sacks, including 3 from George Karlaftis. Travis Kelce breaks a major playoff record, surpassing Jerry Rice for most 100-yard receiving games. Mahomes heads to his 5th straight AFC Championship, and Andy Reid becomes the 4th head coach in NFL history to hit 300 wins (including playoffs)! 🏆

**Lions:** It’s a tough day for Detroit fans as Jayden Daniels leads the Commanders past the Lions in a thrilling, record-breaking shootout! Daniels throws for 299 yards and 2 TDs, dominating on 3rd and 4th downs, while the Commanders defense forces 5 turnovers. Daniels becomes just the 6th rookie QB to reach the championship round since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004. Tough loss for the 1-seed Lions, who may lose both their coordinators to coaching vacancies. 💔

**Eagles:** Saquon Barkley delivers another dominant 205-yard performance in the snow, and the Eagles defense stands tall when it matters most, stopping the Rams on a crucial 4th down. Jalen Carter’s defense forces turnovers early, and the Eagles hold off the Rams’ late charge to secure the win. ❄️🐐

**Ravens:** A tough break for Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews as turnovers and missed opportunities haunt the Ravens in their playoff loss to the Bills. Despite a strong second-half charge, missed 2-point conversions sealed their fate. The Bills played a clean game, but Lamar’s turnover struggles, including a bad snap fumble, doomed Baltimore. 😞

Plus, big coaching news as **Ben Johnson** is hired as Bears HC, and **Aaron Glenn** heads to the Jets. 🏈

And in college football, **Ohio State** dominates Notre Dame in the first half, holding them off in the second to clinch the win with a late bomb to Jeremiah Smith. 🏅

We also discuss the 2025 MLB Hall of Fame class and take a look at the latest NBA standings. 🔥
