Patriots Shut Down the Chargers, w/Musket Fire Editor Sara Marshall


Listen Later

Drake Maye's first playoff game wasn't perfect, but the 2nd year MVP candidate got his legs under him in time to support a dominant Patriots defensive performance, and the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3 to move on the AFC Division Round.

Steve had on Musket Fire Editor Sara Marshall to break down the first Patriots playoff win since Super Bowl LIII: What did we learn about a 14-3 Pats squad that's been questioned for beating up on an easy schedule.? Can this defense carry into next weekend's Division Round? Is second half Drake Maye who we'll see from the start next Sunday?


Steve and Sara spent some time on her career path - from being discovered though her social media sports commentary, to moving up at FanSided, where she's been the Editor of the popular New England Patriots site Musket Fire for the last few years. It's great insight into the changing nature of social media, journalism, and how emerging talent with the willingness to put their work out there can find a home in sports commentary and reporting. We even talked a little pro wrestling!

You can follow Sara's work at www.MusketFire.com, on Twitter at @smarshxo, and her great WWE pro wrestling YouTube channel, No Nights Off (@nonightsoffshow).
