Later, the duo dives into their biggest takeaways from Week 18, starting with Myles Garrett finally breaking the NFL sack record. Nate and Charles also give their thoughts on the Seattle Seahawks stopping the San Francisco 49ers to take the 1 seed in the NFC on Saturday and the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars extending their monster winning streaks and threatening to do real damage by representing the AFC South in the playoffs.
On the low side of Week 18, the NFC South was decided in the stupidest way possible, and the duo discusses the future of each team in the division as the Carolina Panthers slide back into the playoffs. Additionally, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets appeared to be waving the white flag in the final week of the season. After Charles reacts live to the Atlanta Falcons’ firing of Raheem Morris, Nate and Charles close out the show with their first thoughts on the final playoff picture and the first round of playoff matchups.
