On This Day…
🏈 Motor City Dan Campbell! MCDC!
On this day in 2021… the Detroit Lions hired their guy! Dan Campbell was hired as the Head Coach! Just one day later, he went on the podium and made his now famous speech about biting off kneecaps!
The season did not end the way Detroit wanted it to, but they are one of the best teams in the league and they will win the big one soon!
Today’s Stump Story…
🏈 Two Divisional Games Did Not Disappoint!
A gritty NFC Battle in the snow followed by the two MVP candidates to end the Divisional Round! What a day!
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills: Wow. What a game! This was the most anticipated game of the week, it had 1A and 1B in the MVP battle, duking it out in the snow, and it did not disappoint. Two of the best teams in the league, and one had to go home. The Ravens marched down the field in 4 minutes to start the game and put an early statement TD on the board. It looked like it could’ve been a long night for Buffalo if they didn’t respond. RAY DAVIS got in the endzone to tie it up 7-7, and then it was body blows all night long!
Lamar had an interception and fumble in the first half, which only resulted in 3 points for Buffalo. After a pair of Josh Allen rushing TDs in the second quarter, the Bills took a 21-10 lead into the half. The tide shifted in the third quarter, the Ravens came out looking like the run-first Ravens that we all know. They were gashing the Bills for 10 yards a play. We all knew it would, and it came down to the last drive of the game. The Ravens were down 8 and had the ball with 3 minutes to go. Lamar did what he has done all year and brought them down the field and it ended with a strike to Isaiah Likely in the endzone! Down 2. They go to Andrews. WIDE OPEN…DROPPED!
A crushing end for the Ravens who had a great season. Bills win, 27-25!
But we’re back to old reliable. Chiefs-Bills at Arrowhead for a shot at the Super Bowl!
Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles:
It was a good old-fashioned SNOW BOWL in Philly! The snow was falling, and for a lot of the game, it was tough to get anything going. The first quarter is where a lot of the action happened! We had a Jalen Hurts 40-yard TD which was the longest of his career, a Tyler Higbee TD in response, AND THEN a Saquon Barkley in response to that!
After a bunch of FGs and a safety, we found ourselves late in the Fourth quarter. Saquon Barkley ripped off a second BOMB of a TD, and the Rams were down 14. They had to TD, stop, and TD. Well, they went TD, stop, and everybody stopped and said wtf is happening right now. Stafford has always been Mr. Game Winning Drive, and it looked like we were going to get one more!
Nope. The Eagles D stepped up and forced a fourth down, and forced a turnover! The Eagles advance to the NFC Championship, 28-22, and will face a very familiar foe in Washington!
Quick Hitters
🏈 And then there were 4! The AFC and NFC Championship Games are set! Next Sunday, we will have the Washington Commanders @ Philadelphia Eagles (3:00 PM ET on FOX) followed by the Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs (6:30 PM ET on CBS). Two exciting games with the Super Bowl on the line! We’re in for a great week of anticipation for Sunday!
🏀 Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach Mark Daigneault to coach one of the four All-star game teams in revamped format! This honor usually goes to one of the best coaches in their respective conferences, and Daigneault has solidified himself near the top with a young team that has been a bulldozer these last two years! The East coach has yet to be named!
⛳️ Golf is back! The American Express tournament just came to a close and it was Sepp Straka who got the win over Justin Thomas by 2 strokes! Sepp was bogey-free across the 4 days until the final three holes. He had two bogeys in the final three holes to make things interesting down the stretch but was able to still get the win!
