Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spafford, joined as always by my partner in crime, Weston Hodcotz. We're coming to you here from our studios at lambeau Field, Weston, and we are here to talk about Packers Cowboys. In the NFC Wildcard Round. It was a forty eight to thirty
two victory for the Green Bay Packers. That final score does not really indicate how this game went, and we will certainly get into that, but the bottom line is this. There are four teams left standing in the NFC looking to represent the conference in the Super Bowl, and the Green Bay Packers are one of them.
Who to thunk it, Michael, who would have thunk it? I mean the Green Bay Packers, the team that so many people had counted out at so many different parts of this season. Here they are in the final four in the NFC, the Elite eight of the NFL, and a well earned, well thought out victory. I love the game plan, I love the execution. It was multiple phases of the game coming together for what would I think, honestly you could call the most dominant victory of this season for Green Bay.
Yeah, no question about it. I mean, this game was twenty seven to nothing late in the second quarter when Darnell Savage took that pick six to the house. It was forty eight to sixteen with ten minutes to go in the fourth quarter, a thirty two point lead on the road. Dallas's sixteen game home winning streak that had dated back to Week one of twenty twenty two that
was wiped out. The Cowboys season is over, the Packers are moving on, and the number of the number of stars in this game is It's a long list, but it certainly starts, in my opinion, with Jordan Love. His playoff debut, first game as a starting quarterback in the playoffs, and all he does is put up a maximum passer rating of one fifty eight point three until an incomplete pass late in the fourth quarter dropped it to one
point fifty seven point two three touchdown passes. Jordan Love was absolutely in command and was masterful in this game.
One of only five incomplete passes he threw against the Cowboys, but even more impressively, sixteen completions for two hundred and seventy two yards one hundred and fifty one of those going through Romeo Dobbs, Jordan Love and I wrote this in our Insider Inbox column. If you want to go check that out for Monday or Tuesday night, rather Mike, it didn't matter if dan Quinn blitzed them. It didn't
matter if dan Quinn played coverage. It didn't matter if they loaded the box, if they played two safeties back. Every single time, Jordan had an answer for it. And you were the one that pointed this out, And I know it's been a thing making the rounds and social media this week. His mastery of the line of scrimmage, in his use of cadence to get defenses to kind of disclose what they're doing. I don't know if that's
a teaching point with the Green Bay Pack. I don't know if that's something that Aaron Rodgers kind of taught him. I'm not sure if that's something that Jordan's just done all his life.
But as a.
First year starting quarterback at twenty five years old, you could have I would have thought it was Joe Montana out there. The way that he was commanding that thing. He was poise, confident, he was cerebral in man oh Man when he needed to make some big time catches. He made them in this ball game.
Yeah, And when the Packers started the game just the way you'd like to. They took the ball seventy five yards down the field, took almost eight minutes off the clock. Caught one huge break on that drive, which was on the second play of that drive, Love had gotten sacked.
It was looking like it would be third and twelve, but an illegal contact penalty on the Cowboys on one of the Packers' receivers downfield wiped out the sack, gave the Packers a fresh set of downs at the thirty yard line, and then from there they went seventy yards without much difficulty. And a lot of that was built on running back Aaron Jones, who, let's face it, at and T State has become his personal backyard, I guess as far as playing football. He's got seven rushing touchdowns
in that stadium in his last two appearances. There, three of them here in the playoff game, which tied the Packers'
playoff record for a single game. He also set the Packers' career playoff record for rushing touchdowns one hundred and eighteen yards, his fourth consecutive one hundred yard game including the end of the regular season, Aaron Jones, and quite frankly, the stick toitiveness with regard to the run really paid off here because I thought the Packers' offensive line kind of got smacked a little bit on those initial plays really
early in the game. But once that group settled in and with Matt Lafleur sticking with the run and Aaron Jones starting to gash the Cowboys a little bit, that's when suddenly everything opened up on offense.
And as you said, from the very beginning of this thing, this game is so predicated on momentum, and I thought, I love the way that Dallas started this game. They were physical, they were hard hitting. Dan Quinn was stacking the box. They were challenging Green Bayer run the football.
Yeah, the beginning of the Packers' first two drives, it looked like Dallas was the one controlling the line of scrimmage. But it didn't last long.
No, and being able to go seven carries twenty five yards in well earned yardage was so important for this thing because you saw Mike as it built up, the confidence that Aaron was running with, but also just the core around him, whether it was the offensive line, the tight ends, the receivers, everybody was doing their job with the blocking, and there was one moment.
It was a very small moment.
I don't know how many people were able to catch it on television, but it was right before the two carries for thirty seven yards that ended up rupturing into the Luke Musgrave touchdown. I believe the play the series begins, Aaron Jones is literally grittying his way to the huddle from the sideline. He's basically dancing his way onto the field. He was feeling it, and I don't know if that was just how at home he feels there. He had twenty four tickets for family and friends at that game.
Obviously we know the backstory with his father. One of the most iconic photos that's ever been taken of Aaron was with his dad kind of leaning over the stands there giving him a hug before one of those games against the Cowboys. Whatever the magic is there for him, the guy was completely in his zone. Four straight games now of one hundred or more rushing yards. Up until two weeks ago, he never had back to three consecutive
games with one hundred plus rushing yards. The Green Bay Packers needed Aaron Jones to be a superstar for them down the stretch, especially with this injury to AJ Dillon. In my O Mai, the twenty nine year old guy is looking like a kid again and he's.
Got a heck of an accurate army. Threw a strike to his twin brother with that one touchdown ball there in the stands.
I would have taken.
Out probably like a pregnant woman accidentally about trying to throw that pass. I'm telling you right now, because the other thing was he was still kind of running when he threw it. That was sort of a you know, Lamar Jackson played there by him.
Yeah, he was on the move for sure. Well, you mentioned you mentioned Romeo Dobbs earlier, and it's definitely worth talking a little bit more about this performance because for as much of the rock and the consistency and everything that Romeo Dobbs has brought to this offense, particularly this year in his second season, he had yet to have a one hundred yard receiving game in his career, and he had his first, not just on a playoff stage, and not just one hundred yards, but one hundred and
fifty one yards on just six catches with a touchdown. It was big play after big play to Romeo Dobbs. And for those who want to take a closer look, I actually broke down all of all six of Dobbs catches in the game they're in by what you might have missed, peace, just lots of really interesting little things to see on film with regard to how those plays worked. And then I also broke down the touchdown pass to don Tavian Wish, which reflects the Jordan Love's command at
the line of scrimmage we were talking about earlier. But with Dobbs, the Packers had gone what was it, fourteen games without a one hundred yard receiver, and now in three of the last four games they've had one hundred yard performance by three different guys. First it was Bo Melton, then it was Jaden Reid, and now it's Romeo Dobbs. This, this Packer's receiving corps. They are proving it's It's not just some kind of a cliche. It's not just a
fun thing to say. This Packer's receiving corp is proving any one of these guys could go off and be the star at any given time. I mean this next week against San Francisco. It could be Christian Watson, it could be Dontavian Wicks. Who knows, and that is functioning as a major strength for this Packers offense, right.
Yeah, And as Matt Lafleur said, Jayden Reid didn't have a catch in this game, and if and I saw him in the locker room afterwards, he was you could have thought he had another one hundred and twelve yard game. Yeah.
Hold men as well, Yeah.
Yeah, that group has been for one another. But bringing this back to Dobbs Mike, because he is so understated, he is so about his business that it's sometimes is easy to overlook what he's doing on the field, and this game he made himself undeniable.
Whether it was the routes he's running or the scheme.
Personally, my favorite story, even though it wasn't you know, his forty six yarder was actually a new career long for him reception. But the thirty nine yard completion that they had there. The reason why I liked that so much is it shows you how in rhythm and how in sync this offense is. Because Matt Lafleur said, he even purposely called that time out before that to s get Dobbs back on the field to run that play
and it ran perfectly for them. And it's just been moments like that with six catches one hundred and fifty one yards. I was talking with Dontavian Wicks about that in the locker room afterwards. He said, you know, this
is no surprise. This is what Rome does. And because there is so much variance, there is so many dynamic players out there in that receiving corps, you sometimes can forget that this second year guy who's still only I think twenty four years old, he has so much football in front of him, even though he's played so much already, and in a game like this really showed that. You know, he's a big time player and in this particular performance when they needed him, he came through in.
A huge way.
Yeah.
Absolutely, And when you talk about the offense being in sync, you know, you look at the replay, you look at the film of these plays. You see Aaron Jones sticking his nose in there to help out in pass protection, throwing some key blocks on whether it's DeMarcus Lawrence or whether it's Micah Parsons. You know, you see that, you see that kind of stuff happening, and Dobbs with all the big plays you mentioned forty six yard or thirty nine yard, you had a couple twenty plus yarders in
the first quarter. I think the most underrated play he made, perhaps in terms of the in terms of his impact on the game. And this is even aside from the touchdown that he got at the end of the game. After Jayira Alexander's interception, the Packers got to first in goal from the six yard line, but then got called for holding at the turn of the quarter, when then they switch ends of the field, So suddenly the Packers are on the other end of the field and it's
first and goal from the sixteen. The game is only seven to nothing at this point. First and goal from the sixteen is a tough spot and the Packers are looking at you know, if you can't convert there, maybe only get a field goal. It's only ten to nothing. You're only getting three points off of the turnover in the red zone. But on first and goal from the sixteen, it's like Romeo Dobbs boom slant passed down to the one yard line. Suddenly its second goal from the one,
and that penalty was erased. A big holding penalty is completely forgotten about. The Packers get the touchdown, they go up fourteen to nothing, they were on their way.
Yeah, and his hands, man, you and I have talked about that. I mean, he plays strong with his hands, and there's so many times, whether it's plucking the ball like on a slant like that, or just going up and being physical at the point of attack and showing to the defender. No, this is my football. Romeo Dobbs does it all. And again it's so cool to see Dontavian Wick step up and Luke Musgrave step up and Tucker Craft emerge. And obviously you've seen players like Malik
Heath and bow Melton have their moments too. But so much of this a year ago was built around Romeo and Christian and this young nucleus that they were building with this receiving corps. He's still been an impact player, he still had some phenomenal games this year, but just to see him have that career sort of defining moment in how humble he was about it afterwards, really not having too much to say, I just again, I think it speaks to the duty is and by the way
to correct myself still only twenty three years old. I almost put an extra year on him. So film's got a long way to go. Man.
Yeah, well, we do need to talk about the defensive performance in this game, because it was impressive. And you can't look at the statistics from this game because the Cowboys when they were way behind, they racked up a whole bunch of yards, got extra points in the fourth quarter, all that kind of stuff. That's not what this game was about defensively for the Packers. This game was about specific moments defensively where the unit really came up big.
I mentioned Alexander's interception in the red zone set up a touchdown. You have Darnell said Savages pick six late in the second quarter where he just he jumped the slant route to Ceedee Lambley. I mean he just he read Dak Prescott's eyes and Prescott quite frankly telegraphed that
pass and Savage didn't miss it. He took it all the way you had the early early in the game, I believe, second quarter, the Cowboys are are on the edge of field goal range, possibly in field goal range, and Keishawn Nixon chases down Dak Prescott for a sack pushes them out of field goal range, they have to punt, and another what I thought was kind of an underrated moment for the defense in this game, the opening drive
of the second half. It's twenty seven to seven. The Cowboys are scored on the final play of the first half to get on the board. They get the ball coming out in the third quarter, they drive, they're driving down the field, they get across midfield, they're into scoring territory, and then Preston Smith swats that pass down on third down and forces the Cowboys to kick a field goal, And at that point Wes twenty seven ten felt a heck of a lot different than twenty seven to fourteen.
If the Cowboys would have been able to finish that drive double up on either side of the half, from twenty seven to nothing to twenty seven to fourteen, it still would have been It still would have felt like anybody's game at that point. I thought the defense rose up in some really key moments in this game, and that's something they need to hang their hat on moving forward.
To Sefru. It's an excellent point because you remember, at the end of that first half you end up having the Andras Carlson missed extra point. So that's where it gets kind of dicey. If you end up getting two touchdowns and two extra points for Dallas and there's still what would there have been at that point nine minutes and twenty seven seconds left.
In the third quarter. That's an eternity.
Yeah, and I even said I remarked to my former colleague Rob Damofski when we were in the halftime line to go get some ice cream. Give you some background insight into life of a sports reporter. But I mentioned to him, I was like, hey, dude, I was here for twenty six to three. You know when Matt Flynn and Eddie Lacy led these guys back. I wasn't resting on any Laurel at that point when he's congratulating me
on going on to San Francisco. But that being said, the defense, when they needed big moments, they had big moments quickly. I'm just going to go through the four that you outlined. Jyr Alexander he mentioned in the locker room five to six hours a day he was spending in the training room sleeping in compression sleeve boots just to make sure that his ankle is good. To go after he has that really unfortunate freak incident during the
jog through on Wednesday, he toughs it out. He goes out there, he plays lights out football, gets his first interception of the season on that slant pass, and as you mentioned with the Romeo Dobs slant with the final touchdown run there by Jones turns that into seven points. Then you come back and get the Darnell Savage pick six.
Mike.
For my money, I've seen a lot of cool pick sixes in my life. That was probably the most aesthetically pleasing because Darnell was already he was in second gear when he caught that ball. Yeah, and he was in the fourth gear by midfield.
Yeah.
I mean, and as I think it was Kenny Clark in the locker room when Darnell Savage is running in the open field and you see that grass in front of no one's catching that guy.
And then he put it on cruise control twenty five yards in the end zone because nobody was nobody was close to me. Literally just waltzed across the goal line.
And you could just see the body language of that time of the college.
Oh yeah, the.
Air was out of the balloon in the stadium, and you would expect that when you go down twenty seven nothing, But that was I really felt like, there's gonna be no Wayne lair Vi daggers in the second quarter. You even lamented even the third quarter.
Sometimes I thought the third quarter is still a little early. I mean, hey, like, like, okay, I was I was in college. I was in college and I watched Houston and Buffalo the thirty five to three game out at Old Rich Stadium in Buffalo. That was thirty five to three in the third quarter, and the Buffalo Bills came back and won that game and eventually got to the Super Bowl that year. So calling a dagger in the third quarter, I'm sorry.
Not my style. Wayne wants to do it.
That's fine, not my style.
Wayne's the man.
We're just two peasants down here. But but that being said, I really did feel and Darnell even acknowledged it afterwards. At first, he didn't want to take too much credit for it, but he did acknowledge. He's like, twenty seven to nothing is a big deficit, and guys were even riding him a little bit, like, hey, celebrate more. He's like, we got two more quarters to play.
Yet, Yeah, there was still a lot of football left at that point.
You're absolutely spot on with the with the deflection from Preston Zadarius. Excuse me, Devandra Campbell also got credited for a sack at the beginning of that final part of that series too, being able to stop Prescott after kind of a weird, sort of.
A boarded play.
But I got to mention this, Michael, because I really did feel like the Keishawn Nixon play was one of my more underrated moments in this game because of how relentless Kishan was there. I thought that play specifically really spoke towards the defensive performance of this because, yeah, he got the sack, but if he misses that tackle, Bak's gonna have some opportunities. He didn't allow that. He was
able to come through there. Two weeks after having his first half sack in his NFL career, he gets his first full sack in his first postseason sack, and Green Bay was off and running well.
And I thought the key to that play And I was chatting with the fans in the live blog at the time, and a lot of the fans shared the same sentiment that I had which is that Nixon was able to make that play because he was absolutely decisive. He did not hesitate as soon as he as soon as he made up his mind, I'm going after the quarterback here. I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna be all cautious and see if he wants to pump
fake or throw it. I mean, because Prescott tried to pump fake, it didn't matter because Nixon had decided I'm just I'm going I'm going for the mid section. I'm gonna try to get him down, and he was able to get the sack which pushed him out of field goal range. I want to bring up another thing that I hadn't realized until I was kind of looking back and processing the game. So Jordan Love hits the twenty yard touchdown to Dontavian Wicks, puts the Packers up twenty
to zero. In a really strange the way this played out a strange sequence of events. Jordan Love leaves the field with a twenty to nothing lead. The next time he took a snack, it was twenty seven to ten.
Yeah, because there was the pick six.
The Cowboys get a touchdown on the last play of the half, they drive down and get a field goal on the opening drive of.
The third quarter.
So the game has gone from twenty to nothing to twenty seven to ten and Jordan Love hasn't taken a snap. But then what happens the Packers two drives in the
third quarter. They go seventy five yards in five plays, and seventy five yards in three plays, one hundred and fifty yards in eight plays and two touchdowns after that kind of weird layoff for the offense where they hadn't even been on the field like that just showed that just shows you how everything was clicking and nothing was going to stop the Packers' offense in this game.
Well, like I said too, it was in that quarter that I saw Aaron kind of just dancing his way on the field. I mean, because again, the offense was just feeling it and it didn't matter how long they were sitting on the seats and on the bench. They were ready to play and they felt confident in their plan.
Kenny Clark also joked afterwards, He's like, yeah, it was it was Goetna a little tight there in terms of needing a breather, because it was almost the opposite of some of these games where hey, offense goes three and out, the defense gotta go back out there. No, Greenbay was having so much success that the defense was continually put out on the field. Uh, and obviously the offense just being able to make big plays and huge ruptures too.
I mean for Luke Musgrave to come out uncovered on that play action after those back to back explosive runs by Aaron Jones. I asked Luke about that afterwards in the locker room and he said, you know, those are the hardest catches to make because it's the ball is up there for just so long, there's so much time to think about it. He did everything right though he made it.
Got The crazy thing when that play happened, the folks in the live blog were messaging me saying, there was nobody within the camera shot. When you look at the ALL twenty two, there's nobody in the sh it's the ALL twenty two. It was all one. Luke Musgrave was the only one who was even within the camera field of the ALL twenty two when he caught that ball. It was unbelievab how wide open he was.
I don't do, obviously what you might have missed, but that honestly might be my favorite scheme of the season because it's a two tight end set with Bou Melton and Christian Watson both on the field, two guys who run in.
The four threes.
Yeah, Bo Melton, you want to talk about how much respect this guy has commanded in like four weeks since he's been on the practice squad. He was the one drawing the safety to his side, kind of running sort of a corner route and from the slot, and there was just they didn't want to get burned by those two. But now that you have a pair of tight ends
like Craft and Muskgrave, there's just so much to account for. Again, it's gonna get kind of probably to be cliche to discussing how deep green Bay is, but these are the type of scenarios you can kind of play with and the different combinations that Matt Lafleur and Adam Stenovich can work with in their game planning, and it's it's playing off in a big way for green Bay.
Yeah. Well, I'll take care a little bit of sponsor business here West and then we'll start looking around at
the rest of wild Card weekend.

All right, So the.
Packers become the first number seven seed in the four years of this current playoff format to knock off a number two. They earn a trip to the number one seed, now San Francisco, who got the loan playoff by in the NFC, and the Niners will be you know, not only a bye, but they rested their guys in Week eighteen as well, so they will be as rested and ready to go as anybody. With the Packers heading out
to the West Coast. Interestingly, Wes, the Packers were the only road team on wild Card weekend to get a victory out of the six games. The home team's went five out of six, with Houston defeating Cleveland, Kansas City defeating Miami Detroit beating the Rams, Tampa Bay finishing off the apparently unstoppable collapse of the Philadelphia Eagles. And there's one other AFC game I'm missing in there. Oh and obviously Buffalo winning at home against.
Did you come up with unstoppable collapse or did you pull that from somewhere?
No, I just just came to me.
Sorry me.
Well here, okay, before we get into these games, this this is some This is something that's this is something that's worth sharing. Because you and I talk all the time. We say it on this show, we say it an insider inbox. It's it's a week to week league. All you can do is deal with what is in front of you. And I understand fans like to look ahead and everybody wants to look at the big picture and all that wes. After eleven games this season, the Philadelphia
Eagles were ten and one. The Green Bay Packers were five and six. If anybody had said at that moment that the Packers would be alive in the playoffs longer than the Philadelphia Eagles, you would have been sent to an insane asylum. But that's how insane, that's how crazy this league is. You just don't know where a season is going to go for one team or another team. Teams improve, teams fall off, teams plateau. They ride a roller coaster that they can't get off. I mean, every
single season is its own entity. And where the Packers are right now and where the Eagles are right now is I think a lesson for everybody in terms of just how you have to Yes, it's cliche and it's boring, but you have to take it one week at a time in this league.
The thing about the NFL is, and you and I have preached this so much, it's about improving throughout the course of the season. If there would have been an in season tournament for the National Football League, Philadelphia would have probably been, if not victorious, definitely in the running. But you got to play the seventeen games. You have to handle the eighteen weeks. And I'm not going to get into all the things that went wrong for Philly
this year. Obviously there's probably enough media on the West coast or the East coast excuse me how they're going to do that. But the Green Bay Packers improved from Week one against Chicago to Week eighteen against Chicago. In this game against Dallas, I thought they really showed where they've grown. And it's not just the players. It's the coaches too, understanding these guys, knowing what buttons to push, which plays to call, what the scheme is going to entail.
And I just I really love the mentality that Green Bay has had during this Philadelphia Man, I don't know if there's ever been a playoff team that was again the top wild card that went up against, you know, a respectable but not world beater in Tampa Bay.
Yeah, the number four seed of the division champs.
Thirty two to nine for a team that had had won ten of its first eleven.
It wasn't really a surprise based on how they finished the year.
No, it really wasn't. It really wasn't. And so the NFC, the defending NFC champions, go from ten to one to losing six of their last seven, including the playoff game. They are out. The Packers are on their way to San Francisco. Tampa Bay is on its way to Detroit. As I like to say, I'm not in the business of tossing bouquets at division rivals, but I will say hats off to the Lions. Thirty two years without a playoff victory for that franchise, and they got it. They
barely hung on twenty four to twenty three. But a win is a win. They knocked out the Rams, a team that had been playing some pretty darn good football. I thought heading into the playoffs. The Lions take care of business there.
So they stopped Karen Williams too. They finally took the ball out of his hands.
Yeah, they were. And for all those who always wonder when we talk about, oh, you know, red zone and all these you know, catchwords, this and that, the Detroit Lions stopped the La Rams three times in the red zone and made them kick field goals three times and hung on and won that game by one point. That
was the difference. The difference in that game. So the Lions, having gone thirty thirty two years without a playoff victory, thirty years without a home playoff game, suddenly now have two home playoff games in two weeks because the Packers knocked the coup Boys out.
Yeah, and here's the thing I like the most about the Lions and just the way this thing has kind of played out for them this season. That was a highly emotional game with Matthew Stafford going into Detroit and no, we'll talk about whether or not you could wear a nine jersey at the stadium, you.
Know, and the emotions of Jared Goff as well that that he you know, leads the Lions into the playoffs, but then he's got to knock off his old team. And there was you know, some obviously some bad feelings with the trade and how all that went down, and there there was a there was a lot tied up in that matchup.
But this is what I love, I mean NFC Central. Like here we go back in the day, the Black and Blue Division here holding.
Up the stanchioneer for the at the end.
Of the two of the four left standing in the conference from the from the the old Black and Blue.
But doubt you know, Detroit, this is a great opportunity for them. They're going to have an opportunity to take on a Tampa team that I'm sure they feel pretty good about matching up with. And now you look at the San Francisco forty nine ers. We're gonna have a lot of chances to talk about them later this week. But I made the comment an insider inbox that two years ago the roles were reversed. Yep, San Francisco came in here underdogs, upset green Bay in the cold Weather game.
They were the sixth seed, I believe when when they came when they.
Same exact circumstances too, because of the Monday nighter. They came here on a six day week to play on a Saturday night, and there they go. But it was a fun overall Super wild Card weekend. I had a really good time with the games. I unfortunately, as I told you in our pre production meeting, I fell asleep in the second half of Philadelphia and Tampa because I didn't really sleep a lot the night before.
We got we we got, We got back from Dallas quite a bit later than we had planned. I lost. I lost a fair amount of sleep on Sunday night as well. That was that was That was a for for a what's supposed to be a two hour flight from Dallas back to Green Bay. That was a long travel evening.
Did I tell you I had a flat tire when I got back to Green Bay?
No? You did? Your car wasn't was parked not that far. Why didn't you say something?
Because I got it over to a quick trip.
Oh yeah, I got hold the one right by the airport there.
Yeah, yeah, I got over there and flated that thing, got it back home, figured.
It all out.
Yeah, okay, well good.
I got I turned on my car. So it's like it's what one degree outside. It took it took me.
It took me like twenty minutes to get my car scraped off to be able to drive it home. That was We came back to the deep.
Freeze, and it was the perma frost.
Like there's different types of like you know, no doubt you freeze over your car. It was the permafrost one, the one where it's like you almost need a match just to get the stuff off your windshield. But so I get in my car and this has nothing to do with packers on script and I'm sorry humans, but I get in my car and I got I didn't get the check engine light because usually it's always you worry about the check enginelight.
I got the exclamation mark. Yeah, I don't ever get the exclamation Yeah.
There the tire pressure.
And it tells me the back it's like, hey, low tire pressure. I look, I was at like fifteen pounds of tire pressure in my back right tire. So there I was at like two in the morning over at quick trip.
Great. And it always happens in the cold too.
Yeah, that's that's the way. That's the way these things go. But we have another road trip coming up. We will be heading to San Francisco on Friday. The game is Saturday night Primetime under the Lights in Santa Clair. We will preview the heck out of that game on our next episode. Will look ahead to all of the the NFL Divisional playoff matchups on our next show. Unless you have any other.
Thoughts before we do another PEP rally too, we.
Are doing another PEP patio, which is where we were our last one. Yeah, Palo Alto. Is that what we're gonna be for the PEP rally.
Yeah, that was a great one. I think Jordie was at that one. One of my all time favorite moments. So I got a chance to meet Alan Lazard's dad there, Kevin, great human being. Owes gentlemen and a lady came up and interrupted us to ask if he was one of the alumni.
It's like, no, my son plays for the team.
That's that's it.
That's why I'm here.
