Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the NFL conference championship games.

They start with the Seahawks beating the Rams in a heavyweight fight style shootout and Colin highlights the special teams lapses by the Rams as the reasons Seattle won the game (2:00). They give huge credit to Sam Darnold for two outstanding back-to-back seasons resulting in a Super Bowl appearance and being the winningest quarterback in the league since he took over for the Vikings (8:45). 

Colin argues that the NFC was the superior conference all year and points to the Rams roster that lost as evidence (28:45).

They move to the Patriots beating the Broncos 10-7 in a blizzard and Colin argues the game was useless once the weather started (32:45). They agree that Sean Payton made a huge mistake not kicking a chip shot field goal in the first half to go up 10-0. Colin argues that if Bo Nix plays, Denver wins the game (41:00).  

Finally, they discuss the hire of Mike McCarthy as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers (47:00).
