The Cowboys losing takes a lot of pressure off the Eagles locker room

The Cowboys losing has changed everything. It has changed everything. The entire vibe of Philadelphia. ... Nothing the Eagles can do tomorrow is worse than what the Cowboys did today. ... A lot of pressure has been taken, taken off out of that locker room. ... they're not going to say it out loud, but inside of their, inside of their head. Yes.

Subjective locker room psychology, but the Eagles proceeded to lose 32-9 the next day, suggesting the pressure wasn't relieved effectively.

You got the full Joe Flacco experience — elite stretches where he can throw it a mile, then he just quits after the first quarter; that's Baldinger's cat

You got the full Joe Flacco experience because the old debate on whether or not he's elite goes back to Joe having games and stretches where he's just like, oh, this guy can throw the football a mile. And then he'll have a game like this where he just pretty much quits after the first quarter. And it's like, okay, it's not here today. I'm not elite today, but my eliteness will come back. It's Baldinger's cat — being elite and not elite at the same time.

PFT delivers the definitive Baldinger's cat take after the Browns' 45-14 wild card loss to the Texans, exemplifying the 'not elite today' side.

The Texans are officially 'next up' and will be a powerhouse that the rest of the AFC has to deal with for the next decade

The Texans are next up. I think that's officially happened. We'll see how the rest of the Playoffs go for them. But the conversation is now when you talk about the AFC and it's [Joe] Burrow and it's [Josh] Allen and it's [Patrick] Mahomes, it's [Lamar Jackson], C.J. Stroud and the Texans and how good they are. This quickly is insane. ... you're gonna have to deal with the Texans.

The Texans followed up their 2023 success by winning the AFC South again in 2024 and remaining a top contender, though they haven't yet surpassed the Chiefs or Ravens.

C.J. Stroud needs to win at least three Super Bowls or his career will be a disappointment

I think now it's our responsibility as media figures to set some unrealistic expectations. ... How many Super Bowls can he win in order for his career to not be a disappointment? ... You gotta get three or else you suck or else this or else you should have been bad from the get go. But you were so good at the start. Now you have to get three Super Bowls.

He's jokingly setting a bar that is nearly impossible for any QB to meet.
