Peter Schwartz 0:00
NFL championship. Sunday is all set.

How did the Rams beat the Bears in overtime and what was the game-winning sequence?

Peter Schwartz 0:02
In Chicago yesterday, the Rams and Bears went to overtime after a miraculous touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The ball was in the hands of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in overtime.
Deep drop from Caleb Williams. Bounces, looks, lets it go. It is intercepted! Picked off! A diving interception at the 22-yard line!
Peter Schwartz 0:26
Cameron Curl saves the day! That was J.B. Long on Rams Radio. Then the game was in the hands or actually on the foot of the thicker kicker, Harrison Mevis.
It's a 42-yard drive. Bears have three timeouts. With the wind in his back. The snap is good. The ball is down. The kick is away. The kick is good. End over end. The Rams are going to championship weekend.
Peter Schwartz 0:52
That was Kevin Harlan.
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 0:54
This guy, Mevis, reminds me of Janikowski a little bit.

Who made the overtime interception and how did commentators react on Rams radio?

Peter Schwartz 0:57
Yeah, and he was in training camp with the Jets this past offseason. That's great. Of course, another former Jet finding his way into the playoffs. The Rams over the Bears in overtime.
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 1:08
You can't argue about the Jet kicking situation.

What happened on Harrison Mevis’s championship-winning kick and the NBC interview glitch?

Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 1:10
That was good.
Peter Schwartz 1:11
No. You can't argue about the Giant kicking situation. You see Jet people all over the place in the playoffs, and there's no...
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 1:20
But they're not collectively together. I mean, they're all on these different teams.
Peter Schwartz 1:24
It's like a fungus. You just see them all over the place.
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 1:26
Well, the problem with the fungus is when they were together, they couldn't do it. So they had to leave and go somewhere else and get with other players and other organizations and coaches.
Peter Schwartz 1:35
That is just my life, Boomer. That's how it's been. The Rams over the Bears in overtime 2017. They advanced to beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game. After the game, NBC's Melissa Stark tried to catch up with Nevis. Now, we're not quite sure if this was a technical problem or did he curse and NBC was quick to scramble this.
Okay, so we talked pregame and you said, I'm used to these elements. This is backyard football. What was it like in that moment?
Gio Benitez (Gio) (Host) 2:03
I mean, shoot, that's what we do it, man. No, that's definitely technical problems. That's a technical problem. Yeah, I mean, what happens if someone with the delay on TV, you would just hear silence. You would not hear anything. They don't.

Why are former Jets players showing up across the playoffs and what’s the ‘fungus’ joke about?

Gio Benitez (Gio) (Host) 2:17
scramble things like that. So that's unfortunate that this large kicker gets an opportunity to be on national TV and it came out like that. Or like that, like a lot of mumbo jumbo. Yeah, a lot of mumbo jumbo, Schwartz.
Peter Schwartz 2:28
A lot of times that comes out of my mouth, mumbo jumbo. Ah, I see what you did there. Yes, absolutely. You see what he did there, Peter Schwartz. There you go. Now to the AFC. And after a down few years, the Patriots are back to torture me a little more.
Another bent left knee. And that's it. They spill out on the field. They're going to party in Boston. The New England Patriots, the last time they went worse to first, they won the Super Bowl.
Peter Schwartz 2:58
Yeah, thanks for reminding me, John Sadak, on Westwood 1. The Patriots will head to Denver to meet the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. They beat the Texans 28-16 in Foxborough. Drake May throwing three touchdown passes.
We made enough plays. We scored 21, and our defense helped out with seven. So we did what we had to do in the game, and the elements were a little tough. I've got to be better with the football when I'm taking off and running. From there, just know that the football is the prized possession. When we don't turn the ball over and put our defense in bad spots, I like our chances.
Peter Schwartz 3:30
You the MVP?
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 3:32
No, I don't. I think it's going to be Matthew Stafford.
Peter Schwartz 3:35
He's had a heck of a season, May. I'm not saying he hasn't.
Boomer (co-host) / Gio Benitez (label indicates Boomer co-host but high-confidence maps to Boomer) 3:39
I mean, he has every justification to get the votes that he'll get. There's no question about that. I just think Matthew Stafford had just a little bit better of a season, bigger numbers, didn't take as many sacks. That's one of the reasons why the disparity in completion percentage is because Drake took more sacks than Matthew did.
Gio Benitez (Gio) (Host) 4:01
And I understand why you hate the Patriots, of course, Peter. But to hear you this morning on the warm-up show say that you were rooting for the Buffalo Bills as a Jets fan.
