The NFL's EPIC Wild Card Weekend LIGHTS UP The Arena

from The Arena: Gridiron · host Underdog Fantasy

The NFL's EPIC Wild Card Round LIGHTS UP The Arena as Skip Bayless & The Arena Gridiron Crew react to the incredible slate of games that kicked off the NFL Playoffs, starting with the slugfest on Sunday Night Football between the New England Patiots & Los Angeles Chargers. They break down how Drake Maye & The Patriots defense slaughtered Justin Herbert and the Chargers and debate if the Pats have a real shot of making the NFL Super Bowl before discussing the Chicago Bear's incredible comeback over the Green Bay Packers where Caleb Williams proved his unlimited ceiling and Ben Johnson might have put the final nail in his arch rival's coffin. Next, they break down Josh Allen putting the Buffalo Bills on his back to take down the Jacksonville Jaguars, sparking a debate inside the Arena over whether or not the Bills can take down Aqib's Denver Broncos in Denver next week before reacting to the Philadelphia Eagles impolsion in their loss to the San Francisco 49ers and discussing the fallout for key figures like Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni as the Super Bowl Champions took a step back this season. Finally, they give their takes on the Los Angeles Rams' close win over the Carolina Panthers where Matthew Stafford might've lost the respect of the Gil's Arena Crew before previewing the final game of the Wild Card Round between the Pittsburgh Steelers & Houston Texans.
