There’s one game left in the NFL season, and one final episode of Gridiron Gut Check so we’re going out with a bang! Shek and Shazier are talking all things Super Bowl and getting right into the matchup between the young GOAT, Patrick Mahomes, and Mr. Irrelevant himself, Brock Purdy. The guys also chat about former linebacker Zach Orr replacing Mike MacDonald as the Ravens’ new DC, how we feel about Caleb Williams trying to force his way to the Commanders, and why in the WORLD any team would buy what Kliff Kingsbury is selling.

On his way to setting the ALL TIME post season receptions record, America’s sweetheart Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl to play the Niners in a rematch of their 2019 showdown. But who has more to prove, Mahomes or Purdy? Shek and Shazier are jumping into all the post-Championship weekend takes like: What really caused the Lions to blow their first half lead? Why the Ravens really struggled all day vs. KC? What it REALLY will take for a QB to beat Mahomes when it matters most? And the realization that Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson just might never win a ring as long as Mahomes is in the AFC. Plus the guys dissect Lions OC Ben Johnson’s decision to stay in Detroit rather than take a head coaching gig and if Arthur Smith as OC for the Steelers makes any sense at all.

Shek’s grabbed all the most ridiculous hot takes from around the NFL and CFB this week and Shazier is ready to call them like he sees them! Is the whole country really rooting for the Huskies after the show Penix put on against Texas? Are the Eagles really completely cooked after the Cardinals hung 35 points on them? Is there anything Nick Sirianni can do to fix the Birds before the playoffs?
