It's Football - Super Bowl LIX Preview
Is aggressive play-calling ruining NFL offenses? In this episode, we debate why modern coaches like Sean Payton and Ben Johnson are costing their teams championships by refusing to take the points. We break down the AFC & NFC Championship results, analyze Drake Maye's historic run, and give our official prediction for Super Bowl 60: Seahawks vs. Patriots.
We also look at how Sam Darnold fixed his turnover problem to lead Seattle to the big game and why the Patriots' "survive and advance" defense reminds us of the early Brady era.
