Today, Gehlkin shares rare insight into quarterback Dak Prescott and tries to get inside the mind of kicker Brett Maher after his record-setting four missed extra points.

What we all saw on Monday Night Football in Cincinnati was horrifying.

But what’s it like as an NFL player to think your teammate died on a football field? On our eighth and final episode of “The Isaiah McKenzie Show,” the Buffalo Bills wide receiver relives the trauma.

It’s true. Players thought they lost Damar Hamlin for good.

Then, Hamlin started breathing again.

Then, everyone headed into the locker room and it was veteran center Mitch Morse who spoke up.

From the field… to the locker room… to playing football again back in Buffalo… to what this all means for the Bills, McKenzie takes you through it all. Were players prepared to take the field again? How did Sean McDermott lead in the moment? How should we view the sport itself? We get into everything and take questions from the audience. It’s been a year full of adversity for both the city and the football team. As far as McKenzie sees it, this season has only one logical conclusion.

And as you all know, Hamlin has enjoyed a miraculous recovery. He’s already back in Buffalo.

A huge thank you to everyone who has come out to the live show all season long. Mister’s Bar & Lanes was packed Monday night. It’s been a pleasure.

Damar Hamlin has entered the fight of his life. The signs, so far, are good. This is the scariest thing any of us have seen on a football field.
We try to make sense of something so senseless here on the podcast, discussing the amazing life of Damar Hamlin, the night itself and what this means for the sport of football.

A live show!
Go Long hit the road for what may be the biggest regular-season game this NFL season. So much playoff positioning is on the line tonight at Paycor Stadium between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are the hottest team in the league, while the Bills are trying to lock down the No. 1 seed with two more wins. I join Paul Dehner Jr. and Jay Morrison, the exceptional Bengals beat writers at The Athletic and hosts of "Hear This Podcast Growling" for this co-pod event at 50 West Brewing.
And, wow, what a turnout. The brewery was jam-packed. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to say hello.
