The NFL's EPIC Divisional Round Fires Up The Arena

from The Arena: Gridiron · host Underdog Fantasy

The NFL's EPIC Divisional Round Fires Up The Arena as Skip Bayless & The Arena Gridiron Crew react to an incredible slate of NFL Playoff games and give their takes on the wild weekend that gave the league their final four teams. They kick things off by reacting to the breaking news out of Buffalo as the Buffalo Bills fired their head coach Sean McDermott after another dissapointing end to their season and debate if this was the right move to get Josh Allen closer to finally reaching a Super Bowl after Super Man fell short once again. They then react to the Game of The Weekend as Caleb Williams & The Chicago Bears nearly pulled off another miraculous comeback over the Los Angeles Rams but ultimately fell short in overtime, sparking a debate on how much blame Caleb Williams deserves for his OT Interception that likely cost the Bears their season. They also grade Matthew Stafford's performance as the likely NFL MVP got back to the NFC Championship and preview the Rams' rubber match with the Seattle Seahawks after Sam Darnold demolished the 49ers despite injury concerns. Next, they break down the Denver Broncos' big win and the shocking news that Bo Nix broke his ankle on the final play of the game, debating if the team has any chance to suceed without their starting QB before giving their take on the controversial calls that gave them the victory over the Bills. Finally, they break down CJ Stroud's terrible performance against the New England Patriots and discuss if the win was more about the Texans' struggles instead of the Patriots success.
