In short
Nightcap Hour 1 covers the Steelers clinching the AFC North over the Ravens (26-24), the Falcons firing head coach Raheem Morris, and the Eagles resting starters while previewing playoff matchups. It also highlights Myles Garrett breaking the single-season sack record.
Guests
Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson (former Pro Bowl/All-Pro wide receiver; Hall of Fame-era personality) and co-host Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang (Las Culturistas hosts). The episode is primarily a sports discussion between Chad and the other hosts.
Key claims
- Steelers’ win hinged on Aaron Rodgers’ efficient passing (31/47, 294 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) and strong third-down/possession control; Ravens’ defense couldn’t pressure Rodgers.
- Ravens’ loss is blamed heavily on a rookie kicker missing a 44-yard field goal late; the missed kick “might have cost” John Harbaugh’s job.
- Ravens need defensive upgrades: more pass rushers and better one-on-one coverage; corners and defensive linemen are priorities.
- Falcons fired Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot after disappointing seasons; Atlanta has talent but a short leash.
Notable examples
- Ravens started 10-0; Derrick Henry ran well (20 carries, 126 yards) but was limited in the second half.
- Steelers advance to host the Texans next Monday night; Texans’ defense is praised (Will Anderson, Daniel Hunter, etc.).

Tyler Luke misses a 44-yard field, go wide right, and a brutal miss from a rookie. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers win the AFC North, and they get to host a game next Monday night. As a matter of fact, they get to take on the Houston Texans, which should be a barn burner of a ball game. The Houston Texans finished great down the stretch, and they finished today.
7:26Shannon Sharpe:They won today. They beat the Indianapolis Colts. But tonight, Lamar Jackson came back after last week, taking last week off. He was 11 of 18. He only threw 18 passes, 238 yards, three touchdowns, one interception. He was sacked three times. Derrick Henry ran the ball extremely well tonight, 20 carries, a buck 26. They just, Steelers just dominated time of possession, Ocho. Aaron Rodgers was 31 of 47, 294, one touchdown, no interception, clean game. They ran the ball 24 times for 100 yards. Ocho, when somebody goes back to throw the ball that many times and they're not as mobile as Aaron is, and you only get him two times, that lets you know you need some rushers.
8:15Shannon Sharpe:The Steelers played, both teams played great. Ravens got up to a great start. 10-0, Ocho. Watching this game, tell me what you thought about this game. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like. Listen, this was a divisional game. This is the game that was very exciting because of the implications of it. Both teams having to win the game to go to the playoffs. Winning in. Aaron Rodgers played extremely well. What we thought Lamar Jackson wouldn't do with the fact that he was back there, he was ready to play, we thought they would abandon the run and put the ball in Lamar Jackson's hands. But Derrick Henry ran the ball well.
8:48Derrick Henry ran the ball well. And the plays that Lamar Jackson had to make, he made them. Zay Flowers, two big plays. Awuzie obviously slipped on one of them. That wasn't Awuzie. But outside of that.
8:57Shannon Sharpe:Awuzie wasn't in. That was number three. yeah that's the last one? that's a woozy on the double move? I thought it was oh man Ocho Ocho Ocho you play DB since when do they teach you to start playing with both feet when you're going backwards? you either T-step which is one or you back straight up and drive on one at no point in time will I've never seen a DB coach say you play with both feet that's why he got in his feet He gave up, went out for Monday. Go ahead, Ocho. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, obviously, listen, you can't blame the ground at that point, especially in the game. You've been playing all game, damn near all game long at that point.
9:42So, listen, this was a good game. It was a great game. This was a very good game. Aaron Rodgers played well. Lamar Jackson played well. The Ravens offense played well. The one thing I will say is they were never able to make Aaron Rodgers uncomfortable. He was never uncomfortable. Even though he doesn't have the legs he used to have, there was no pass rush to get Aaron Rodgers off his spot. Some of those throws Aaron Rodgers made to Fryer move on, my goodness.
10:13Shannon Sharpe:If you let him just sit there and plant his feet, Ocho, most NFL quarterbacks, and you're talking about one of the great NFL quarterbacks, if you don't put pressure on him, he's going to pick you apart. There's nothing wrong with his arm. Maybe he can't throw it 60 yards like he once could, but the pinpoint accuracy, yes. And there's an occasion where he missed more throws. You see him miss more throws that he normally would miss. But if you don't pressure him and get him off the spot like you said, okay. Yeah. Yeah, he going to dice you up, man. And look. He did tonight. Ocho, the Ravens only have 48 plays.
10:52Shannon Sharpe:They scored 24 points on 48 plays.
10:58Shannon Sharpe:they had 12 first downs Steelers had 24 first downs the Steelers was 9 of 16 on third down the Ravens was 4 of 12 the Ravens averaged almost 11 yards per play the Steelers were 6
11:19penalties
11:20Shannon Sharpe:Ravens were 9 for 78 the one turnover over. But that wasn't it. I mean, that missed kick, that might cause John Marbon's job, Ocho. You think so? It might. You see, and we're going to talk about it later, you see Raheem got relieved of his duty and the general manager in Atlanta.
11:48Shannon Sharpe:And think about how they finished. Atlanta was, I mean, Atlanta, somebody's going to get the coach a very good football team. in Atlanta. B. John Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Mooney. You look at that Pierce. They got Jalen Johnson. They got Pierce. Yes. Leonard Floyd. They got Bates. They've got some – somebody's going to get to coach a very good football team. Now, I don't think they have a first-round pick, but they got a good football team down there. But I'm looking at the Ravens. I'm trying to put my hand on when they had them down 10-0 and you had an opportunity to get some more separation you didn't get it and I don't know why you didn't get it because like I said I thought you know 20 carries I mean you couldn't stay on the field on third down it's hard to because if you look at the Steelers they were nine of 16 think about Ocho you don't normally have 16 opportunities for third down no 16 there's a lot and then you get and And then you pick up nine of them.
12:51Shannon Sharpe:Because eight of them is 50%. So you're probably around 55%. You let somebody pick up 55 % on third downs, you're going to probably get your ass beat. You probably lose more than what you did. But a missed field goal. I mean, I wasn't surprised that he missed it. That's a rookie kicker, Ocho. I mean, a rookie kicker in that situation? You have one job. You hear me? You have one job. I don't care about this. I don't care about the situation. Preseason, regular season, implications to be able to go to the playoffs, you have one job. When you go to practice, Unc, they do one thing since training camp.
13:29They kick the ball.
13:31Shannon Sharpe:That's it. Let me ask you a question. How many times in practice they kick for a chance to go to the playoffs? You block the noise out. You block the noise out. It doesn't matter what you're going for. How many times do you think John Harbaugh told him this is a kick to go and take us to the playoffs? now we practice do we not practice two minutes do we practice no huddle okay we down three we down seven how many times you think John Harbaugh told him this is the kick to get us into the playoffs
14:06Shannon Sharpe:how many times how many times you think he's been under that kind of pressure probably never probably never probably never. Hey, that's a whole lot, boy. That's a whole lot riding on your leg. Absolutely. Hey, listen to me. That's a different kind of pressure. Now, the guy that he replaced in his rookie season, all he did is go kick the Ravens to the AFC Championship game. You see the importance of having a kicker that's consistent. But you're talking about there is a chance. He's arguably one of the two or three greatest kickers ever, especially clutch big game. How many big game kicks have we seen him make?
14:46Shannon Sharpe:A 66-yarder in Detroit to win the game. Playoff game, all these implications. We've seen him time and time again. Now, last year he struggled. Obviously had some things going on, but, you know, we saw him struggle. This situation here, and I'm looking at the game, I'm like, well, damn, Ravens. Man, look, y 'all got the momentum, man. Y 'all need to get some separation. And I kept like, man, get a little separation. Get a little separation. They never could get the separation they need, The next thing you know, it's 10-3, and then it's 10-10, and then it's – I was like, damn. I said, boy, you're playing with fire.
15:21Shannon Sharpe:Because we talk about it all the time, Mojo. When you have momentum, you better get some separation because they're going to get it. As much as you can. Yeah. Listen, the pendulum always shifts in a football game. You know, the pendulum always shifts in any sport, no matter what you play at some point. But like you say, you want to get as much of a lead as you can while you have the momentum. but it's difficult, huh? That's why it looked the way it looked tonight. It's difficult. And it comes down to what it did tonight where the game is decided on the kicker's leg. And most of the time, you hope you have a clutch kicker, a good kicker who doesn't allow certain situations to bother him where he can still complete the task under those kind of conditions.
16:05Shannon Sharpe:That's why Adam Benetieri is going to the Hall of Fame. You talk about clutch. How about making a game-winning field goal in the snow? How about making a kick in the Super Bowl, Ocho, twice with no time on the clock? Can you get more clutch than that? Can you get more pressure than that? That's why Adam Vinatieri is going to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yeah, he played a number of years in longevity, but that's not why. you won't find two better kickers under the gun under immense pressure than Adam Vinatieri everybody remember that divisional game of the playoffs against the Raiders in the snow a driving 45 almost 50 yard kick he nails it in overtime to win the Super Bowl and then guess what Ocho two years later come back against the Carolina Panthers and did it again.
17:05Again. Mm-hmm.
17:07Shannon Sharpe:He was clutch now. No doubt about it. Chad, maybe y 'all helped me. Where did the Ravens look? I understand. Yes, the defense is bad. And I know John Harbaugh is tough, Ocho, when you have a friend and you don't really want to fire somebody. But he probably didn't think he had anybody on the staff that could fill in and do any better than what Zach Orr was doing. That's why he left him in that role. With that being said, this defense isn't good it's not Chad y 'all know it it's not good they got no pass rushers the guys in coverage aren't good Roquan is okay but Roquan is not Roquan from 3-4 years ago he's not hold on I know you say the defense is bad right yes but when you look at the third level on the Ravens are they really that bad are they really that bad if they got to cover people for 30 seconds i mean if you got to cover somebody for 30 seconds hell everybody else would look bad too if you if you weren't getting any pressure on the goddamn quarterback well what well now i called a question if you know you can't get pressure why would you put why would you put your corners in a one-on-one situation where like a bomb blitz did
18:31if you can't stop the run you ain't got no choice it wasn't like they were running the football
18:35Shannon Sharpe:Ocho it's the thing is is that you realize like okay if I got a Rob Peter to pay Paul I don't need to be I don't need to be going out there getting luxury items I need to pay the day-to-day I need to pay the mortgage I need to pay the light bill need to pay the gas bill the phone bill i need to play necessities so with that being said i know i can't get home do i really want to sacrifice a back end that's not very good to begin with am i really trying to put them on an island because if i don't get there in that's why you need a guy that can win one-on-one ocho you need a guy that can win instantly you see how miles get you said that Joe Burrow late.
19:19Shannon Sharpe:No, he didn't. Look at the get off that Miles Garrett got. If he'd have been running track, he'd have false started. Because you can't go under.1. He went.023. Let that sink in. So when Joe was saying, he was gone. He didn't get the tough. The Ravens, Ocho, they need defensive linemen. But I'm not so sure they can use a couple of corners too, Ocho. they do. Nah, I don't, listen, I, I, honestly, I like, I like Wiggins that we, they just, they just drafted him. He's, he's played decent. Of course he's gotten beat. Well, I think we all get beat part of playing the position. Yeah. You, you are going to get beat, but most of the time you want someone that can be clutch in certain moments and that can win majority of one-on-one battles.
20:09And if you're elite follow the number one, I mean, that's why That's reserved for Sertan.
20:17Shannon Sharpe:That's reserved for Stingley. That's reserved for, who else we got, Ocho? Gonzalez. That's reserved for those guys. A.J. Terrell. It's reserved for guys like that. Right. Mitchell. Keon Mitchell. Yes. That's reserved for those guys. He don't need to follow anybody. He probably need to be on the second or the third receiver while you're bull-jiving. that's not nice I understand what you're saying but young bull has potential outside of that they need a premier they do very bad they need a premier rusher I don't care if you play on the left or you play on the right we got to get you in the building I agree they need a rusher
21:09Shannon Sharpe:preferably two but if you can get a true number one rusher and a solid number two rusher that can win.
21:22Shannon Sharpe:I mean, they had Jadavion Clowney. I mean, look, he's a guy, if you let him get 20 snaps a game, he can generate pressure. If you let him get 20 snaps a game. Now, he's not an every-down player anymore, but he still can generate pressure if you minimize his snaps. Offensively, they're going to probably need to get some linemen. You're going to probably need to get a guard, two guards. They are. They just are. I mean, I wish it was something I could, I mean, I wish I could dress it up for you. But, but, Chach, I know I'm not lying. I mean. Critics and audiences agree. What the hell is this place?

25:22Shannon Sharpe:You would like to have more than 45 plays. I mean, you scored 24 points with 45 plays. Lamar was 11 of 18. You ran the ball 27 times for$1.37. That's, what, five yards a carry? You can live with that. Yeah, absolutely. You can live with five yards a carry. Listen, Lamar was efficient when he had the ball, even if they didn't have it a lot. He was efficient with the ball. And we talked about, you know, thinking, you know what we should do? Hell, I never forget what you said, huh? You thought their best option was to start Tyler Huntley if Lamar wasn't healthy. Man, the hell you say? Shit. Absolutely not.
26:06I still wish Lamar could have put. Lamar did everything he could to make sure he won this game tonight.
26:10Shannon Sharpe:And he did his part. He did. He did. I wish Lamar could have put more pressure on him with his legs, Ocho. He can't. He couldn't. You know, let me tell you something. You know how I know he's not the same? On that third down where he couldn't get out the way. Yeah. You saw that guy catch him? On the third down. Yeah. Well, you saw it when they ran the quarterback draw. I said, well, Lamar Jackson looked like he got a piano on his back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's tipping. Matter of fact, he's tipping. He's not even extending himself. His gate is closed. He's not even opening up. He's moving, but he ain't moving, if that makes sense.
26:46Yes, he is.
26:49Shannon Sharpe:To the Steelers' side, Aaron Rodgers, 31 of 47, 294. They ran the ball 24 times. basically a little over four yards of carry. Gainwell had a big catch. Calvin Austin with the sluggo.
27:07Shannon Sharpe:Phelan had a big catch. Bader Scanlon had some big catches. Look, Frymuth had a big catch to set him up, get him down, get him down to like the five-yard line. They played well. You know the Steelers were going to play well. Cam Haywood, I thought Cam Haywood had a well of a ballgame. I thought the D lineman played really, really well. I thought there were some lanes that had the backside been able to get cut off, that Derrick Henry could have hit those and maybe popped it instead of getting two, three yards. He probably could have got 10, 12 yards. But I credit the Steelers. They did a great job of disengaging and getting to the ball carrier.
27:47Shannon Sharpe:Give those guys credit for that. I thought the Steelers' D line played extremely well. And you're like, well, how do you say they play well? So they gave up 120, 126 to Derrick Henry. But that could have easily been, against Green Bay, that 120 was 180. That was the difference. Cam Hayward played extremely, extremely well. I love the way I look. He might not run fast, but from point A to point B, which is from end to end, he gets there. I was very impressed. I mean, here he is in year, what's the year, year 14? This year 14, he was in that 2012 draft, Ocho, with Cam and Vaughn Miller and all those guys, Justin Houston, Richard Sherman, all those guys, the greatest draft, that's the greatest draft.
28:44Shannon Sharpe:That is the greatest. The greatest? If you look at the players in that draft, you know Julio was in that draft, right? AJ Green was in that draft, right? Pat Peterson was in that draft, right? Yeah, I got you. Cam Haywood, Cam Jordan, all of them was in that draft, Ocho. Hey, the grading draft is 2001, huh? What? The grading draft is in 2001. I just want to throw that out there just in case. Y 'all ain't even close. Y 'all might not be better than 90 with me, Emmitt, Seau, rest his soul Ted rest his soul y 'all might not be better than us listen can you hear me when Chad Javon Johnson was drafted into the NFL that was the greatest draft you only one person who else was in your draft class Michael Vick I can't remember the rest of the people Cam, Von Miller Pat Peterson, AJ Green Julio Jones Tyron Smith Cam Jordan, Cam Hayward Richard Sherman Justin Houston
29:59Shannon Sharpe:Pull up that night, put out a 2011 draft It ain't even close Ain't nobody close to that draft When you go back and look at the players in that draft In that first round, Ocho, just the first round Sherman was, I think Sherman was what? Second, third, fourth? When you look at that draft, Ocho That is the greatest hey what's sherman you talking richard sherman sherman was fifth round yes what what he was oh jj watt was in that draft okay hey hey hey hey them some nice there's some nice boys now hey are everybody your name is nice but ocho was drafted in 2001. i was drafted in 2001. the greatest entertainer of all time was drafted in 2001.
30:45That's me. That's me. But you only one player. You got to have 27 mothers. I know. I know. But it's one player that is more entertaining and fun than everybody you just named.
30:54Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give the Steelers credit. They get an extra day. This is not an accident that they put the team that played the last game on Monday night to give them a rest. They didn't want to cheat them. Don't make them play on Saturday. don't make a let them play Monday night so this year Ocho we got a Monday night playoff game something we've never had I'm ready a matter of fact since we never had it before why don't we make a why don't we make a presence let's make our presence felt you want to go to the game cause hey how come every time every time now I got to be in Baltimore then we got to you know we got to be in New York hey how come and y 'all don't be telling me nothing, man.
31:42Y 'all don't be telling me nothing. I don't be knowing what's going on.
31:45Shannon Sharpe:Well, I think you'll find out sooner or later. But how you know before me? How you know what? We going to New York. You knew that. We on the red carpet with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Tiana Taylor. What we doing with them? What are you doing to red carpet, Ocho? Oh, we finna walk the red carpet? Ocho, we working. No, we're not. Well, yeah, we're going to walk the red carpet. We're live streaming from the red carpet, Ocho. Hold on. I get to wear a suit? You can wear whatever you want to wear. Hey, hey, one thing you know about it. When it's time to put on some thread and time to look good, boy, you know who comes to the party, huh?
32:25Let me tell you. Hey, I'm going to be some European.
32:27Shannon Sharpe:You need to communicate with Ocho.
32:34Hey, I'm going to be sharp, bro. What are we going to? Hey, we're going to the what?
32:37Shannon Sharpe:The Golden Globes? We got Netflix premiere, The Rip, with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Tiana Taylor, all those. Okay. Okay. Hey, I know me and Ben Affleck go way back. We'll do it. I'm sure you have some very interesting questions to ask them, dude. Hey, yeah. I got some good ones. But, hey, I'm finna be so clean, boy. I'm finna be clean as a boy of health. You hear me? Oh, Joe, for the first time since 2021, and for the first time since leaving the Packers after the 2022 season, Aaron Rodgers is back in the playoff. Aaron Rodgers in the post-game interview, it's been a grinding year. And the two years before that was tough as well.
33:15Shannon Sharpe:But he's back. He's back. He's back in the postseason. It's been a while since he's been in the postseason. This is what, look, it's a tough year on him. He's playing with, I think, a broken bone in his non-throwing hand. It's been tough. Yeah, yeah. His left hand. it's really tough when you've been as great as he is and all of a sudden some of the things that you took for granted that you could do with your eyes you can't do it no more you can't do it no more but he played well tonight when they needed a big throw he came up with it they needed a big run you know he scrambled for 20 yards I thought Jalen Warren ran tough the guys made plays now next week they get DK back.
34:02Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that's a good thing because look what they look what Aaron was able to do without him tonight. Listen, it was done by committee tonight. Everybody was a part of the offense. Frymuth balling. Calvin Austin getting throws, getting throws. Normally he wouldn't get before because not, now we ain't got no choice. We got the county because we don't have DK Metcalf. They got, they got my dog. They got my dog, Adam Thielen involved in the game. I wish they would, I would say we use him a little bit more. Obviously, he's a veteran presence. He's good. He's a route runner. I don't care how long he's been playing.
34:35I don't care how old he is. If you brought him in, goddamn use him. Outside of that, I mean, it's going to get interesting come Monday night in that playoff game. Yes. And anytime you have Aaron Rodgers, someone who's used to being in the playoffs. Oh, Joe. Used to being in the playoffs.
34:52Shannon Sharpe:But you know one thing the Texans can do? They can heat your ass up with more. Yeah. Yeah, yes, sir. I mean, you ain't got to tell me twice. You ain't got to tell me twice. Listen, Will Anderson, Daniel Hunter. They got Seattle Jr. They got Mario Edwards. They got Rankins. They got Shazir. They got Tutu Adola. The DBs that they got, they can come. They can come. Now, the problem that concerns me is that the Houston Texans don't have a run game. it's hard it's hard it's hard Ocho to win when you don't have no resemblance of a run and you know the Steelers the Steelers like to make you one-dimensional and just try to go hunt your quarterback right hey and you know when I think about it too long Nico Nico didn't play no Stingley some of them boys a lot a lot of them rested the day on even without a run they've been they've been able to to still run their offense yeah they don't they don't they don't need a they don't need a saquon type of back they don't need a devon h hand a back that's going to go for 150 180 you know but still just someone that can keep the keep it going keep it going and keep our offense balanced keep our offense balanced we don't need you breaking a run for 80 50 yards that that's never been the texans that's that's really never been a text if you think about it obviously the last time i think of an efficient running back doing extremely well in the run game was when joe mixing was helped right i mean hell before that it's been uh uh back before joe mixing it was arian foster i think they had a guy named pierce that ran really well i don't know what happened to him i don't know where he is now chat maybe y 'all can help us out um but they got their work cut out for him they The Steelers got their work cut out for them.
36:45Shannon Sharpe:I think both teams have their work cut out for them. The one thing that we do know is that they can get after your quarterback. They can get after your quarterback, Coach. Yeah, they can. They can. I don't really think – listen, I don't have no horse in this race. I don't have a horse in this race. But if I'm betting on a team to win this game, even as great as that goddamn Texan defense is, I'm not betting against two players a coach and a player that have been in the postseason multiple times that are used to it that's me and you know I'm not a betting man so I'm just saying based on who's been there the most in those type of situations where they're not rattle there is no pressure they've been there so much they just go out there as a quarterback I'm just going to play ball I'm just going to play ball okay they got a great pass rush How do we counter that?
37:39How do we counter them having a great pass rush? Hell, motherfucking misdirection. Quick throws. The quick game.
37:44Shannon Sharpe:Kind of like what Cincinnati do to try to keep miles off. Bingo. And they did it the entire game. They did it all four quarters. Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They win the AFC North and get a matchup with the number five seed, the Houston Texans, on Monday night. They beat the Baltimore Ravens by the score of 26-24. The Ravens rookie missed a Tyler Loop, misses a 44-yard field goal, and the Ravens go home. What started? Look, all the games that they lost early, Ocho, they probably kicked themselves. They lost to the Buffalo, had a game in hand. They lose to Buffalo. They lost some games that they probably should have won.
38:27Shannon Sharpe:They probably shouldn't have even been in this situation. but you are what your record says you are. All this where they should have been this or they should have been that, what does their record say? Their records say they're under 500 teams. That's what they are, an under 500 team. So, Stevens, congratulations. You win the AFC North 26-24 over the Baltimore Ravens. DK gives a chance with 14 seconds at a timeout. John Harbaugh went to the rookie kick. Ocho you got a timeout in hand you don't want to try to get no more yards? Nah I don't think so not in that situation you know why they didn't?
39:16Why?
39:20A rookie in that situation? yeah yeah he's not even looking at it like that you can't you can't look at it like that okay if he nah yeah I trust my kicker I want to I want to end this now I want to I want to end this now and win this game I'm putting our season on my rookie kicker's leg he's a rookie there's a reason we got him if we didn't trust we wouldn't have him only only two things can happen either you go make it or you're going to miss.
39:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but here's the thing, Ocho. It's unfortunate that he missed. When he missed, he got no time with the clock, so I'll season over. And it might have cost me my job. Hey, hey. Listen, I'm with you when you're right. But maybe, I mean, even as you said, if I'm not mistaken, well, maybe you didn't say that. Maybe you were just reporting it that maybe they need a new voice in the house. Maybe they need a new voice in the house. Maybe they need to hear it from someone else for a change. The problem that he's going to have again. Maybe they need to tear it down and let Lamar come to Miami so he can play here at home.
40:27I'm just throwing things out there. I'm not saying. I'm just saying. I think the problem you're going to have, Ocho. What?
40:35Shannon Sharpe:If I'm not mistaken, Ocho, look it up. I think Derrick Henry only had five carries in the second half. What's been the real current thing? What's been the fans that got the fans most upset is that all of a sudden you go away from Derrick Henry. He had 15 in the first half, and he has five in the second half. Remember, I think he had 18 carries in the first half against Green Bay. He has another 18 in the second half. Ocho. Yeah. John Harbaugh, Ozzie, Eric DaCosta. what transpired that caused us to go away from Derrick Henry? Why is he only getting five carries in the second half when he got 15 in the second half?
41:26Shannon Sharpe:When he got 18 in the first half against, excuse me, Green Bay, and he got 18 in the second half? We talked about this the other time, the game before. Wait, you weren't got to have a situation though, huh? You weren't got to have a situation your team is behind you need to score. Ocho, you do realize we had the lead. Did they score to open the drive? Did the Steelers score to open the drive? Because they got the ball coming out of the half and it was 10-3. They got stopped on the goal line.
41:59Shannon Sharpe:No, I'm saying in the second half.
42:05Shannon Sharpe:To make it 10-0. To make it 10-10. Yeah. mm-hmm yeah you got you got to have a situation now
42:16Shannon Sharpe:wow so in the second half they went touchdown field goal punt touchdown touchdown yeah defense yeah you can't you can't play in them situations saying oh because of what what he did in green bay i mean oh you you got to do what i think the thing you got to do you remember that interception really hurt he got it tipped at the line of scrimmage and then tj watt comes from the back side and he picks it. So that was a possession. You don't know what would have happened, but you gave the Steelers a short field and so they got points out of that. The last thing that you want to do is give the team points on your possessions.
42:52Shannon Sharpe:It's hard enough. It's hard enough, Ocho. Think about it. In our defense, we already struggle stopping. The last thing we want to do is put them on a short field. Yeah. Hell, put them back on the field whether it's short or long. with shit. My bad. Just a mere fact. Just a mere fact. Because the worst part of the Ravens team is the defense. I want them to play the least as possible. All things being equal, Ocho, I want my offense on the field somewhere between 32 and 36 minutes because that way I keep my defense on the field. Right. 23, 24, 25 minutes. If I can do that, I can neutralize it. I can minimize, not neutralize, I can minimize the damage.
43:35Shannon Sharpe:Minimize, yeah. But given how bad they've been the last couple of years, I mean, considering, what did they do in the second half?
43:46Shannon Sharpe:The Steelers. What did they do in the second half? Touchdown, field goal, punt. Ocho. So in 30 minutes. Also, we get the ball too. They go touchdown, field goal, punt, touchdown, touchdown. down. So it don't matter.
44:07Shannon Sharpe:It don't matter. It don't matter what I do. I bring them on the field. Bad things gonna happen. It just do what it is, chat. Raymond fans, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All right, hold on. What you mean, Raymond fans? You're supposed to be talking to yourself. Matter of fact, I'm not sure why you so happy. You sound too jubilated and too joyful anyway. Anyway, you should be sad. Hold on. No, no, no, no, no. We're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. You're not going to jump the bandwagon now. What you mean? I'm a bandwagon fan. Hold on. Hold on. Hey, yeah. Yeah. You came on the show talking about, oh, if your team may make the playoffs, you don't say football.
44:49Well, hell, your team may make the playoffs. You claim to be a Raven. What happened? You claim to have a ring. Oh. Look at him. Hey, oh, now you only a Bronco fan when it's convenient, huh? Man, I'm disappointed. Okay.
45:05Shannon Sharpe:I'm extremely disappointed because I thought the Ravens had this game. It was there for the taking. And look, but that's the thing, Ocho. When you put it on the foot of your kicker. Yeah. You don't know. You don't. I don't want to leave it up to him. Let's get this ball in the end zone. Because first of all, the snap. Then the hole. He might bother the hole. somebody might miss a block the guy come through and block it there are so many elements nah I trust John I trust myself I trust TD I trust Ed I trust Rod that's what I trust and I think Elam was a tremendous kicker and before Elam I had Treadwell but with that being said so what you're saying are you rather than one more play and put the ball in the hands and make a play yes yes absolutely Absolutely.
45:58I like it. I like it. Let me get some of this liquor before we start this game.
46:03Shannon Sharpe:Go ahead. Come on, chat. We're almost at 50 ,000. Tell some of your friends to log on.
46:13Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man. Damn. Critics and audiences agree. What the hell is this place? Only three letters describe they will kill you. W. T. F. Splendid. USA Today calls it bloody. and bonkers.

49:38Shannon Sharpe:Here's the playoff picture. 4-5 matchup the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Houston Texans on Monday night. the Buffalo Bills take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday the number seven seed Chargers take on the number two seed New England Patriots so what game is Saturday?
50:08Saturday is
50:13Rams, Panthers, Packers.
50:15Shannon Sharpe:Oh, so basically NFC games. Okay. So Rams, Packers, Rams, Packers, the 7-2 seed. Rams, Panthers, excuse me. Rams, Panthers, and then the Green Bay, Chicago.
50:32Right.
50:33Shannon Sharpe:So they're three games Sunday. two games Saturday, three games Sunday, one game on Monday night. Some good matchups. Remember, about three weeks or four weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers beat the Los Angeles Rams in Carolina. They make a return trip. This time, will it be different? Philadelphia Eagles rested a lot of their starters. They get the San Francisco 49ers, the sixth seed. And Green Bay rested some of their starters, but they get the two-seed Chicago Bears, who had a valiant comeback, but it was all for naught. They end up kicking a field goal, and they win the game.
51:25No, Detroit, you know, it was 16-0.
51:30Shannon Sharpe:Chicago get two scores, two two-point conversions, and then they go down the field and score a touchdown. and they win the game, but they don't miss the playoffs. So the two number one seeds are the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. They will play the lower of the seeds that advance. So they're either playing seven, six,
51:57Shannon Sharpe:could play five or four. But whoever the lower seed is, that's who they're going to get. so we'll see how it shapes out Ocho I'm ready the Panthers squeeze into the playoffs wait the who? the who? the Carolina Panthers squeeze into the playoffs thanks to the help from the Atlanta Falcons who beat the New Orleans Saints by the score of 19-17 a Falcons win was enough to send the Panthers to the postseason and send Tampa Bay home Carolina Panthers haven't made an NFL playoff since 2017, and they haven't hosted a playoff game in nearly a decade. This also marks the owner's David Tepper's first trip to the postseason since he purchased the team in July of 2018.
52:46Shannon Sharpe:Hours after the game, Ocho, Falcons fired head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot after two straight disappointing seasons. The Atlanta Falcons wrapped up an 8-9 campaign. Fotton has been the Falcons general manager since 2021. Morris was hired in 2024. I thought Terry Fotton did a good job. You look at who he drafted. Kyle Pitts, B. John Robinson, Michael Penis Jr., Pierce, Johnson. They got some talent though, Joe. They got some talent. Listen, they got some talent. It's unfortunate that they won't be there to see that talent continue to flourish over there in Atlanta. Obviously, Arthur Blank, very short of patience, only allowing Raheem three years.
53:34Fontenot allowing him three years. And he sees fit. They're going in other directions for his team. Listen, as be it. Raheem since
53:44Shannon Sharpe:2021. Raheem been there for three. Since 2024. He's been there two years. Damn. They let him go already? I wouldn't be surprised. We're going to talk about this matchup a little later. I would not be surprised if they let Aaron Ganglo go. Ocho, remember? After one? Did they let Gerard Mayo go after one? Did they let Steve Wills go after one? When you feel you got talent. Hey, hold on. Hey, it's showing the short leash, huh?
54:23It's showing the short leash. You know what? You know what? I'm not, you know what? Jalen Walker,
54:27Shannon Sharpe:that's the first round pick? He was the first round pick. Jalen Walker, okay. Yeah, and Pierce Jr. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Hey, you see how God continues to open doors and you're acting like you're blind to it, huh? What do you have open doors for? As a matter of fact, I'm about to sell my house in Atlanta. I ain't trying to go face here. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, I'm close with Arthur Blank. Now, I could put your name in the hat if you want to get your coach. I got his number. I can call it myself. Okay. Well, you might want to shoot him a text. If I do, I want to ask him how he's doing.
55:05Shannon Sharpe:Make sure he's doing okay. That's it. That's all I want. No, you don't. Kirk Cousins, 18 of 32. One touchdown, one interception. B. John Robinson, 15 for 33. They had 25 carries, 49 yards. Tyler Shook was 23 of 35. 259, one touchdown, one interception. They ran the ball 26 times for 108 yards. Juwan Johnson, three for 61. Dante Pettis, five for 60. Adric Estimi, five for 43. Yeah. That interception, that killed the Saints. That interception killed the Saints. The timing of when it actually happened, it killed all momentum and their chances to actually win this game once the Falcons got the ball back in that situation.
55:52I mean, the Saints didn't play bad. They were able to hold B. John only 33 yards. Drake London only had 78. Outside of that, it was a good game. It was a very good divisional game where the team that made the few mistakes was going to win the game, and that's exactly what happened.
56:09Shannon Sharpe:I think Jay Glazier is reporting that Matt Ryan is in line to be a senior something at the Falcon. Didn't he report that? What? For real? Hey, that's nice. Can you imagine? Let's say Ryan. A high-profile fun office role. Well, the only role that's high-profile is general manager BG. He ain't about to be the owner. So those are the two high-profile roles. You get to be BG or you get to be the GM. So there's a good chance Matt Ryan could be the new GM. There's a good chance. and being able to oversee and building that team into what it is they may need, you know, that's dope for the future. That's dope.
57:03Does that happen often? More players should be afforded the opportunity to be in those positions.
57:08Shannon Sharpe:Well, you see, look, Tom Brady has a role in the Raiders. Yeah. Who is that? Troy is getting advice, has the ear. of your team, the Guffins. So it's starting to happen more.
57:29Well, maybe I wonder if the opportunity would present itself for me to have some type of front office role in Cincinnati.
57:36Shannon Sharpe:That's a family-run business. That ain't happening. You know that. And I'm a part of the family. I'm not sure if you knew. First of all, you know the Cincinnati Bengals more than anybody. Yeah, yeah. So you know, it's Mike Brown, his daughter, his son-in-law. Katie, Troy, yeah. And listen, hold on. And right up under there is me. Yeah, right up under there. But if I need anything, you know how you can call the Broncos? Huh? If you need anything. But if I need anything, and I'm not even talking about football related. I'm talking about if I was down to my last, you hear me? Hey Chad listen to me real quick If I was down to my last Dan Morgan's in the role in the Carolina In the Carolina That's right Is Keekly doing anything for the I don't think Keekly's doing anything for the Yeah Monk you not hear what I'm saying though Monk if I was down to my last And I'm about to be homeless And I need to Well I need a little help Okay I can make that call but everybody can't do that I need some cash listen to me I am of no value to you anymore but you know what I'm in a bad position can you loan me something if the bowling was in situation I had that kind of relationship with the bowling I have a great the time that I've spoken to Rob and the pinners they've been great to me So I don't want people to come out like, well, Shannon can't go back to the Broncos.
59:17Shannon Sharpe:They opened up the facility and let me sit down and interview John just last week, two weeks ago. So the Ravens, excuse me, the Broncos have been great to Shannon Sharp. But I didn't play for them. It's a different type of relationship. I played for Mr. B. I had a personal relationship with Mr. B. I think they're going to release a documentary. and his daughters reached out and asked me would I talk because of the relationship that I had with Mr. B. Yes. It was next to John. It's hard to say that his favorite player wasn't 84, Sharpie. So, but no, the Ravens have been, I keep saying the Ravens because we just talked about them.
1:00:02Shannon Sharpe:The Broncos have been great. Most of the time I just call Chip. Chip, I need something. I'm getting some more of these cups. I need some more of these cups. if I need hat, if I need gear, I need paraphernalia, something like that, you know, something like that, I'll just call, I'll reach out to Chip, or I'll reach out to Flip. Hey, Flip, I need a helmet. Flip, I need some T's. Hey, what you need, Sharpie? So, but no, the Broncos have been great to Shannon Sharp. The Broncos have been great. The Broncos helped put Shannon Sharp's kids through college, through private school, hey, take care of his family.
1:00:40Shannon Sharpe:the Broncos first and the Ravens. The Broncos started it. The Ravens made it like, okay, if I want to work after my career, I can. But if I don't, I can shut it down. Ochoa, the Eagles' Nick Ceriani stood by resting many of his starters in the regular season finale against the Commanders, even though the decision negatively affected his team's seeding. The Eagles needed to win over Washington today, plus a Bears loss, excuse me, to the Lions to move into the number two seed. Thank you.
1:01:14Shannon Sharpe:Yes, the two seed. Instead, they lost and so they get the number three seed. The Lions held up their end. They won 19-16. But the Eagles lost 24-17, locking them into the three seed in the matchup with the six-seeded 49ers. Remember, Ocho? two years, three years ago, this was the matchup in which Purdy hurt his arm and basically they had to run wildcat. Christian McCaffrey was trying to throw passes. Deebo was trying to throw passes. So this is kind of a rematch for the NFC Championship game. Ojo, do you have any problem with the Eagles doing what they did? Absolutely not. Sirianni, Sirianni, I'm sure Sirianni talked to the boys.
1:01:57Listen, I'm going to rest y 'all. I want y 'all nice, fresh and healthy. For those of you that are banged up, I want for those of you that are hurt right now or have little nicks and whatever it may be, I'm going to give you a week off because I want you to heal. I want you to be fresh. I don't care what seed we are. I don't care what seed we are. We're going to find out who we're playing. Y 'all going to sit here and watch all my backups and my third stringers. Y 'all getting all your action today. Y 'all getting your action today. Whether we win or not, I'm not tripping. We're not worried about the results on anyone else's game.
1:02:31and where it puts us at. Whatever season we're at, y 'all going to be ready to go when it's time to play. Honestly, I like it. I like it. Especially with the way they've looked. They've been up and down all season long. Nah. It's one game. Now it's one game to go home. It's one game to go home. It don't matter what we see. We don't really see it. It's still one game. We don't care whether we get a high seed or we get a low seed. We still have to play the game of football.
1:02:56Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all make it seem like any of these teams can't kick your ass. They're in the playoffs. At this point. At this point, yeah. They're in the playoffs. And I get it. It's like, well, wouldn't you rather face the Packers? No. I'd rather place nobody. But unfortunately, they got to place somebody to advance. Ain't nobody forfeited. Everybody's going to show up. Look, they're going to tee the ball up. They're going to kick it off to us first, or we're going to kick it off to them first. But at some point in time, we're going to play 60 minutes. And if we don't just get it done in 60 minutes, we're going to go overtime for 10 minutes.
1:03:30Shannon Sharpe:But we're going to decide, and somebody's going to advance. It's really that simple. So, man, I'd rather play this team. And you mess around and catch a hot team, and they light your ass up. Then what? Yep, and you be mad. As a matter of fact, that hot team that lights your ass up could be a lower seed. And what happens, you go out there, and you get Jalen Hurts nicked. You go get Devontae played, but you get AJ nicked. Or you get one of those defense. You get Michael or Mitchell, excuse me, Mitchell or DeJuan. You get them Nick, then what? Man, I don't know why you're playing them. You're already in the playoffs.
1:04:05Yeah. It was smart. It was smart. It was smart.
1:04:09Shannon Sharpe:I agree. I think in a situation like that, there's much more to lose than game. Yeah. Because it's not like, okay, if there's an opportunity for us to get a bye, I guarantee you he'd have played them. If it was like it was before Ocho, when you get two buys, I guarantee you he'd have played them. But when now there's only opportunity, there's only going to be one buy, and that buy was already substantiated, was validated last night, no, I'm good, Coach. I ain't going to get no guys mixed. Hell no. F y 'all. Mixed.
1:04:51Shannon Sharpe:So that's where we are right now, Ocho.
1:04:57Shannon Sharpe:Josh Johnson this is the first touchdown pass Josh Johnson throw in how long his first win when was the last time Josh Johnson won a game
1:05:10how long how long has it been
1:05:12Shannon Sharpe:well he ain't won that many
1:05:17Shannon Sharpe:he ain't won that many Ocho
1:05:21Josh Josh done played for a few teams
1:05:25Shannon Sharpe:This is the first game he's won. This is the second game he's won in his whole career. Real? I think it's his first touchdown pass he's thrown since 21.
1:05:39Hey, congratulations to Josh, man. Since 21. Congrats, bro.
1:05:45Shannon Sharpe:Hey, keep drawing, cool. Stand there as long as you can. Make him kick you out. Hey. Hey, y 'all can't have a kick. y 'all gonna kick me out hey one thing about being a backup quarterback oh you can play that thing down there 20 years but see you can be a backup quarterback when you don't have to expect when you haven't been great great players it's hard for them to be a backup right well good players can be a backup when that's mainly what you've been right here's a backup hey you're serviceable yes yes Yes, you get a guy like Josh McCown. You get a guy like Fitzpatrick. They're going to play 15, 16, 17, 18 years.
1:06:28Shannon Sharpe:But when you've been a starter, see, when you've been a starter, Ocho, no matter how old you get, people have the same level of expectations. Expectations. People have the same level of expectation for LeBron at 41, they had for him at 27. See, he don't get to be that role player that coming off the bench, the 7th, 8th guy, play 15, 16 years. Nah, bro, they see LeBron James. Aaron Rodgers any great player they see that all they see is Aaron Rodgers they expect Aaron Rodgers to be a four time league MVP so that's why that's why it's easy you see the guy man that's gonna play how many years play a bunch of years ain't start none of them they don't they don't let me and you get no years Ocho oh no but that's all you okay alright go on home yeah that's all you got you could go home now but no i don't have a i don't have a problem i thought tanner mckee late uh tanner mckee was 21 of 40 241 one touchdown one interception tank big uh bigsby 16 for 75 uh they ran the ball 19 times for uh 80 yards basically four yards to carry davante got his thousand yards right that's what davante needed he got his thousand yards Let Devontae get his thousand.
1:07:47Shannon Sharpe:Get up out of there. Get him up out of there. I thought Jeremiah Trotter Jr. played well. He stopped the run. His daddy, that's what his dad was. Dad, would you come down here? Yeah, hey, he was a thump, boy. But no, I thought, look, he did, they did what they were supposed to do. Let's get healthy. Right. Let's gear up. Hey, we're home. Look, we know what the 49ers represent. But I want to be healthy. I want my guys as healthy as possible going into this ball game. Right. And this is a funny thing about it, too. The 49ers, as great as they are offensively. The defense not that good. The goddamn Eagles.
1:08:26The defense not.
1:08:27Shannon Sharpe:They don't have no rushers. Yeah, that's why I said offensively. But the Eagles match up with their ass bar for bar on every level. At the receiver position, being able to stifle McCaffrey. The Eagles are one of the few teams that have a defense that can deal with all the things that Shanahan offense does well. I agree. So that's why, hey, that's even better. I know. Who we got? We got who? Okay, bet. Hold my beer. That's going to be a good game. It's going to be a good game. But obviously, because the Eagles defense is so good and because they match up well, it's a perfect matchup for the Eagles defense.
1:09:05I got them winning the game anyway.
1:09:07Shannon Sharpe:It's going to be a good game. It's going to be a very good game. But right now, the two hottest teams going into the playoffs, The Seahawks and the Jacksonville Jags. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Jacksonville Jags, man. Absolutely. Hey, I don't know what Trevor Long did before the season. I don't know what he did either. I don't know what Young Bull did before the season started. Yeah, but the Eagles, the number three seed draw, the number six seed in the San Francisco 49ers. That game is on Sunday. So tune in. Let's see if the Eagles start their quest to repeat as Super Bowl champs. It's going to be a very interesting matchup.
1:09:48Shannon Sharpe:You get Brock Purdy against Jalen Hurts. May the best team win. Hey, one game, huh? It's one game. Ocho, with his one sack of Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter, Miles Garrett reached 23 for the season, breaking the NFL single-season sack record. This push of Garrett, previous record of 22 and a half, set by Pro Football Hall of Famers, Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, and matched by T.J. Watt. There have been a couple of guys. Justin Houston had 22. Jared Allen had 22. There have been some 21s. But no one has ever reached the total of 23. And that's what Miles Garrett did. The Salty Bengals weren't happy about the referees allowing the game stoppage for the Browns to celebrate the record.
1:10:36Shannon Sharpe:Let's take a listen to what Zach Taylor had to say after the game. The long conversation with the officials after the Garrett sack, what was going on there? There's five minutes left in our season. We're playing for our lives here. And I was never told that we're going to stop the game. And in a critical moment like that, and the refs just said that they made a decision that they were going to stop the game. And they said they tried to do it as quickly as possible. I didn't feel that. We didn't sub. We're trying to be on the ball and go and play with tempo and The Empire just held the ball so that we couldn't do anything and I'm yelling at Joe get on the ball we didn't sub we're going and Then we couldn't play and so again trying to get an answer was not easy They just said that they made a decision as a as a crew to stop the game when that happened I guess it didn't matter when it happened It just they were gonna stop the game and let it happen And you weren't informed that no, I was never informed of that They didn't say one where we meet with him in the 90-minute meeting for the game They never said one word about that.
1:11:37Shannon Sharpe:Officials ain't make no decision. The NFL made a decision. Yeah, I mean, Zach didn't know that? What are you thinking? So he thought, so hold on, Ocho. So let me get this right. So he thought they were going to get this. Let me get this right now, Ocho. So you can't follow with me. So Zach thought if Miles Gadd break the sack record, they're going to keep on going. Just keep going like nothing happened. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, give the people context. He broke the NFL record. Since the sack became an official stat in 1982, prior to 1982, the sack was not an official stat. There are stats where Deacon Jones had 24, 25, Coy Bacon had this or that, whatever the case may be.
1:12:23Shannon Sharpe:In 1982, it became an official stat. With that being said, the most sacks ever occurred in an official season was 22 and a half. Michael Strahan in 2001 and TJ Watt, I think his was in 2021. That was, Gastineau broke the record. I think Gastineau did the record, what was it, 1984? Yes. I think 22 was the record by Mark Gastineau in 1984. So did this man, did he really, really think? Maybe, I don't know. Honestly, with the way the interview and the seriousness in his tone and face, I really think he thought it was the refs not understanding that's the NFL call I don't care how much time on the clock I don't care about the situation that's going on at the time we're going to celebrate Myles Garrett getting that sack no matter what yes and matter of fact I told you I'm going to get my jersey I told you I told you hey chat you lost you fighting for your life what life y 'all on life support We been pulling the plug on y 'all We using y 'all Y 'all donors Wait what you mean we wanted to finish our season off the right way That's what he On your license you have organ donor No No we wanted to finish our season off the right way Even if we gotta go If we gotta go to Cancun We wanna go to Cancun on a hot note With a W With a win That's all But hey like I Your heart We took that We gave it to somebody that could use it Your love We gave that to somebody that could use it So okay You a donor I just want you to know I'm sorry I appreciate you I appreciate you It's all good Some other team got life Thanks to you It's all good Now I want you to take y 'all sad ass home And stop complaining Y 'all lost to the Browns The Browns I mean we a bad team too so you act so you want to talk hold on you want to talk about the defense how many points did the defense give up because you criticize the defense all the time I want you to get your happy ass on here and tell the chat how did the Browns get 14 points turnovers no no no I don't want you to say turnovers who turned it over the offense turned the ball what you mean who when you say who i want to know like specifically who turned it over what happened it was the interception well damn the chat might not know who played quarterback for the brown for the bingles huh they know who played quarterback for the bangles he went number nine what's on the back of it
1:15:24i think it's joe so hey you sure hey you sure is excited i'm trying to figure out what what was this energy when we were talking about the rain what we're talking about what what where was this energy y 'all had it no no no y 'all had a chance to go to the playoffs and blue we weren't going to the playoffs We were just playing trying to win it.
1:15:46Shannon Sharpe:Try to buy homeboy. Why are you talking about home? Be about homeboy. We over here having a great conversation and you ruined it. You ended up the moon. You mean I'm just saying we weren't playing for nothing except the win. We wanted we wanted to go home on a high note. And you weren't able to do that. It's cool. It's cool. I know one thing the sun will be shining in Cancun. Man, tell him I want to go to Cancun I ain't never been to Cancun Hey, let me ask you a question Matter of fact, y 'all play next week, right? No Y 'all got a bye? Okay, well we'll see y 'all in Cancun in two weeks Don't worry about it
1:16:31Hey, we'll see y 'all in Cancun in two weeks So you wishing ill on my team No, no, no I'm not, I'm not I'm just telling you I'm just telling you, while you're here, you're so excited. You're talking trash about my bangles. You know, we want to go into the playoffs.
1:16:46Shannon Sharpe:High five. Hey, Ocho, you got official. The official high five. High five, what you call Shelby Harris. Gave a high five when Miles Garrett got the sack. I mean, listen, ain't no thing. I got my jersey, though. You heard me? Hey, he did it. Hey, I can't turn his hand. Can I turn his hand? Don't break it. Don't worry about it. We do the 6-7. We do the 6-7.
1:17:15Shannon Sharpe:Hey, what you know about 6-7, huh? I don't know. I know y 'all team ain't going nowhere. And we use y 'all for par. That's fine. We'll be back next year. You said that last year. Don't worry about it. Eventually, you're going to be right, Ocho. Oh, I'm always right. I'm always right. I didn't get a chance to thank Miles Garrett. I got to go to the bathroom. Go ahead. Hey, Chad. Hold it down. Hey, Chad, I'm glad y 'all get to be with me real quick. Obviously, Myles Garrett now, the NFL sack leader with 23 sacks. I talked to Myles Garrett after the game. He's going to send me that jersey. He's going to send me that game jersey.
1:17:55I'm happy. I'm elated. I'm excited. And I'm going to hang it. I'm getting ready to do my game room. They're getting ready to do my game room in about two, three weeks and change everything up. So when I get all my awards from Ash and Unc, they're going to be right here placid behind me. And I'm going to put an Ocho jersey and a Miles Garrett jersey on the other side. And that is going to be one of my prized possessions that I've ever gotten from anyone. And I appreciate Miles for that. And I think that's a dope thing. That's a dope thing. I'm sure the people in Canton probably want it, but it's not happening.
1:18:29It's not happening because he promised me the jersey first. and I'd hate to have to beat Miles Garrett ass for lying to me and not giving me that jersey. And that's pretty much it. And that makes me happy. Where you go, Unc? Ash, where Unc go? Oh, my bad. Chat, talk to me.
1:19:00Cap I'm not lying man y 'all always talk about I'm lying why would I lie what do I get out of lying think about it what do I get what do I gain out of that I got the jersey he signed it for me he's mailing it to me and it'll probably be here Tuesday
1:19:17yeah I like it what's the next game
1:19:24to our Broncos. Broncos got the bye week. He talked about my... He excited about the damn Bengals losing, but the Ravens done lost, and he was all happy and elated like they ain't going home too. We all in Cancun.
1:19:48What other jerseys I got? Oh, I got some of the best jerseys. Man, my jersey collection. I got a Tua jersey and a Zach Wilson jersey. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and T. Higgins. That's it. Not just any jersey. I got like a 1980. Hold on.
1:20:13How y 'all doing, Chad? Hey, I'm showing people my jersey. my you see you see this hey remember this remember the leaping time yeah this during this during on time back it back in the 80s see no nobody got this this is 101. so i'm hanging this next uh next to miles when miles send me the jersey i'm hanging it i heard a lot of people talking about well tj watt broke the record in this many games and this
1:20:45Shannon Sharpe:We're not going to do that. Because when Jerry set the NFL record for the most touchdowns in a single season, he did it in 12 games. Randy broke his record in 16 games, and y 'all didn't say that. When Eric Dickinson broke OJ's record, OJ rushed for 2 ,014 games. Nobody ever said that. Now this man got the record. Y 'all want to come up with all this stuff. He did it in 15. The NFL sack record is 23. Miles Garrett holds it he did y 'all talk about games look at the amount of snaps that it took Miles Garrett to break that record which is the equivalent of probably like five games don't do that don't try to shortchange the man again when Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's record Jerry Rice had 22 touchdowns in 12 games in 12 but they threw the man the ball they threw they threw the ball every play and nobody said anything the nfl record now is 23 miles garrett holds it so i don't want to hear nothing about know how many games i don't want to hear about nothing miles garrett holds the nfl sack record because a lot of these records i mean when jim brown did what he's doing they're playing 12 games Ain't nobody say nothing.
1:22:11Shannon Sharpe:OJ did what he did in 14 games. Rest your soul. Rest Jim Brown's soul. Now y 'all, because somebody broke it, y 'all team guy don't have the record no more, y 'all try to minimize the guy. But I ain't going to let y 'all do it because I'm old enough to remember. I don't think, man, who would do that, huh? It's an amazing accomplishment. They're doing it. A lot of Pittsburgh Steelers fans are doing it. Talking about he did it in 15 games. It doesn't matter how many games you got it done. You got it done. It doesn't matter. That's an amazing feat. You know how hard it is for something to say? Any record.
1:22:48You know how hard it is? You look at the comparison between someone like a TJ Watt, a Miles Garrett, a Brian Burns in the season that they had this year. Unbelievable seasons. You know how many defensive ends it is in the NFL? That are nowhere close to that? It's crazy. Maybe people don't understand. Maybe people don't understand how hard it is to get a sack. It is, Bocho.
1:23:12Shannon Sharpe:And eventually somebody's going to break Peyton's record. Peyton threw for 5 ,477. He could have had more because he came out at half. Hold on. That's the 55 touchdown season, right? Somebody's going to throw. Hey, it is what it is. He broke the record. Dan Marino had the record at 50. No, to take that back, he had 48. Tom had the record 50. Peyton broke that record with 55. Somebody gonna throw some 56. It is what it is, guys. They did the same thing with Roger Maris broke Brave Ruth's record. They tried to put an asterisk by it for the longest. No, we're not finna do that. We're not. We're not.
1:24:03Shannon Sharpe:We're not. Because every time y 'all try to do it, I'm going to remind you, somebody had the record in less games than when they broke the record. Right. And y 'all didn't see it. And think about it. Sacks only became an official stat. The interception – I mean, think about it. What was the record Dick Knight train lane? He got 14. I think they played like 12 games back then. Some records ain't going to be broken. That 81 interceptions, ain't nobody getting 81 interceptions that don't show in a career. You can forget that. Who had 81 Deceptions? 81? Oh. Yes. 81. How many years he played? I think Kraus played like 14, 15.
1:24:58Shannon Sharpe:He played 16. Kraus played 16. Ain't nobody breaking it. They can play 20. 81. I think Rod, how many Rod got? Rod got like, Rod got, Rod Wilson got 71. Yes. Hey, Rod with that. See, Rod with a corner, moved to safety. Rod had great hands. Yeah. Guys that if you could catch, a lot of guys can't catch. Like Ed, Ed Reed could like really, really catch. No, but Rod could really, really catch. Mm-hmm. Damn, that's crazy, man. You go back and look at some of these stats. Now, eventually, look, with all these games, somebody's probably going to catch 1 ,500. I think Jerry got over 1 ,500. And by the time they play 10, 12 years, that's another season.
1:25:54Shannon Sharpe:Damn. It is what it is. That's unfair. That's unfair because now, you know, those whose records are getting broken, you can't play no more. I want to see the guy that break Jerry's touchdown record, not 197, receiving. I want to see that. I sure hope I'm alive to see that. That's going to be hard. Think about it, Ocho. That's a lot of touchdowns. Ocho, the man got 2 ,500 yards after the age of 40. Hey, at a dependent position. Yes. The man caught 1 ,200 yards at 40. Yeah. It went to the Pro Bowl.
1:26:35Shannon Sharpe:so
1:26:39you got to be in good with the organization you got to be in good to even put you in position to allow you the opportunities to be able to have success in production at that age you got to be good with that organization and also you can't be a salary cap casualty so that's the problem far of what 300 consecutive starts oh he was healthy he was always available do you know how many three do you know how many i mean 300 ocho yeah that's a lot that's a lot
1:27:17Shannon Sharpe:so you got to get off to a great start you got to start off with 12. you got to get you got to have a couple of seasons of double digit picks to even think about getting to 80. that folds and fives ain't gonna cut it. Nah. You play 15 years and you get four picks a season or five picks a season. That's still 75.
1:27:41You're gonna have to do a lot of gambling too now.
1:27:43Shannon Sharpe:But you gotta start you gotta get that number early but you gotta move to a safety position because you ain't gonna be playing no corner position unless you Darryl Green. All the even great corners they start to fall off and then they move to the safety. They go to safety. You look at time. He moved to safety. Rod moved to safety. Aeneas moved to safety. Only Darryl played his entire career at the corner position. At corner, yeah. Man, hell, Prime was that safety when we played the Ravens when he won 37.
1:28:19I think the thing
1:28:21Shannon Sharpe:is, Ocho, is that I get, look, I get it. I remember on Monday night when the Jets played the Raiders and Tim Brown caught his 100 touchdown. Man, they brought everybody on the field. They brought Tim's mama. They brought his wife. They brought the kids. They stopped the game for like 20 minutes. For real? Yes! Go back and look it up. It was a Monday night. They brought everybody on the field. They must have been playing home. He lucky. Can you imagine if they had played at Cleveland? they'd have brought his mom his dad out the stands yes they probably would have well they couldn't have they couldn't have TJ because TJ was playing and Strayhead was in studio because they normally a lot of times if somebody's going to break the record the guys are retired and so they have the guy to pass it you know because when I broke Ozzy's record he's the general manager he's there he handed me the football right but no we're not going to do that Miles Garrett is now the NFL single season sack leader.
1:29:26Shannon Sharpe:Hey, at the pace he's going, he's going to be the NFL sack leader with his office. Cause he got, how many he got now, Ash? Almost 130.
1:29:55Shannon Sharpe:he got 125 sacks have he played 10 years he's nine you and he only is in the only 30 now yeah although he just finished his ninth year so the record so he needs 70 he needs uh 76 sacks to be the all-time leader brucey played like 19 years yeah oh listen yeah he has a good chance to get it. As long as he stay healthy, he has a great chance to get it. Reggie had 198 in 15 years. Ain't getting that. Ain't. But you got to realize, Reggie played one year in the USFL. 1984. I think it was 84 he played in the USFL. Might have been 83. He played his first season in Memphis because he's a Tennessee and it was regional then, you know what I'm saying?
