Travis Kelce remains elite because his mental game compensates for declining athleticism

Even as you've seen maybe his athleticism come back a few notches the last few years, he's still just as effective because of how smart he is. Zone coverage, he's gonna be able to find those holes. Patrick's gonna be able to look around the field and then find him.

The National Championship game should be played no later than January 10th

January 10th should be the latest they play the national championship. You can't have it. You can't have four NFL teams left and still not have a national title champion for college football. It just feels weird. It feels off. It's stupid.

This is a subjective scheduling preference.

Philip Rivers won't play as well in his second game back

Seattle didn't come after him at all. ... I have to imagine they're gonna come after him a little bit more this week, put some pressure on him... that ball's gonna come out quick. He's not gonna take a whole lot of hits. ... I don't know that that's gonna bode well for Philip, unfortunately.

Rivers struggled in his second game as defenses adjusted to his limited mobility.

The 49ers will be a very dangerous team in the playoffs

Brock Purdy, he's starting to really warm up. ... they're getting healthy at the right time on offense. ... I think they'd be a really dangerous team in the playoffs. ... a team rallying to the ball on defense and it pops out to you when you're watching.

The 49ers made the NFC Championship game, proving they were a 'dangerous' playoff out.
