Chapter 1: What is the significance of the Texans' victory over the Steelers?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Good Tuesday morning. Divisional playoff weekend in the NFL is set as the Houston Texans move on as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. It was a close game for a while. The Steelers did have opportunities early on in the game with a couple of fumbles by C.J. Stroud. Could not convert in the end zone.
Had to settle for field goals and then things just fell apart as that Texans defense moved on. It was too good, too fast, too strong, too suffocating. And it ends up being a blowout score in the end, 30-6. So now you've got the Houston Texans going up to see the New England Patriots next weekend. A lot of action yesterday when it came to the head coaches. We had Zoom interviews. We had lunches.
We had visits at houses. This is going to be a fun week to find out where everybody goes next.
and the rangers blow good morning boomer how are you yeah how you doing g and i would say in regards to last night football game the texans scored more points on defense than the pittsburgh offense did so uh you just goes to show you how great a defense they do have and by the way i didn't think cj stroud played all that well you know he looked really nervous in the first half and
Had a couple turnovers himself, and if he's going to play like that in the next round, the round after that, that's when the Texans would get in trouble. But I would think now he'll settle down. I think they're going to be really a pain in the ass to play. Their defense is as good as advertised. You know Daniel Hunter pretty well from his days in Minnesota.
And he is, you know, you talk about an underrated signing that they made a couple years ago, I think it was, to go along with Will Anderson Jr. And the way that they rushed the quarterback with four guys and the way that they rallied the football is one of the most impressive things about what their defense does do.
So if you're a defensive player out there, you watched that game last night, you had to love Will. what you saw from Houston, Texas, and this is one of the reasons why I really do feel like they're going to make it to the Super Bowl. Well, Nico Collins having a concussion is a big deal for them. He is by far their best wide receiver.
I know Christian Kirk stepped up in a big way last night, but Nico Collins and C.J. Stroud, that's essentially their offense. I mean, that's really what it's been. Well, I mean, they ran the ball effectively last night. And the good thing about what they did last night, running the ball, is that they stayed with it.
Yeah, I mean, and when your defense is great and the other team isn't scoring points and you're committed to the run, it's going to work. But when you're starting to now get bigger opponents and better opponents moving forward, not having your best wide receiver is not a good thing. So we'll see if he ends up, you know, he was carted off. with a concussion, Nico Collins.

Chapter 2: How did the Texans' defense perform during the game?
They're giving up 17 points per game in 2025-2026 NFL football where everybody's throwing the ball all over the place. I mean, the turnovers, the scoring on defense, just the way that they run to the ball, how fast they are. They just beat you up, and they were on full display last night. You think about it, I think one of the most impressive things that happened was the second C.J.
Stroud lost fumble. And the Steelers ran eight plays for four yards and then had to settle for the field goal. And they were able to, you know, they got a penalty in there, they were able to get a first down, but then they lost more yardage. And it was right there, I just said, they're just never going to score a touchdown.
Yeah, so this defense has pretty much done this to all the other quarterbacks they've played this year.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Texans' upcoming match against the Patriots?
Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, I think they played. They do it now to Aaron Rodgers, who took a couple hits last night. I mean, it's just a real problem for opposing offenses. It'll be interesting to see how Drake May handles this. this coming weekend because this will be a real test. Now, he actually just played a very good defense. The Chargers have a good defense.
Chapter 4: What are the latest coaching changes and rumors in the NFL?
Seattle has a really good defense. The Broncos have a really good defense. And, of course, the Texans have a really good defense. And, by the way, I thought the Patriots' defense, I went back and looked at like 10 plays of watching Justin Herbert. I just wanted to see what Justin Herbert was dealing with. His offensive line should be put in jail. I mean, that's how bad they were.
I mean, they were a couple times, and I don't want to always pick on this guy, but there were a couple times where Makai Becton is sitting there at right guard, and there's a twist going on on the left side of the offensive line that defense is right. So it's two Makais left, and there's nobody over him.
So he drops back in his passing stance, and he's just standing there like his head's not moving. And as his head is not moving, there's this guy coming right next to him, right up the middle, and absolutely de-cleats Justin Herbert. Right here, this one. I mean, it was – I mean, it's embarrassing.
And the fact that they made it to the playoffs and the fact that Justin Herbert took as many hits as he did this year, obviously losing their two tackles during the year is what really hurt the Chargers. And who paid the price for it? Justin Herbert. Yeah, and when you're the quarterback, it's always going to fall at your feet. Look at that. Yeah, and he's just getting swarmed.
It just kept the offensive line collapsing. It's crazy. I mean, that's why these tackles, when you get guys like Andrew Thomas or the two that you have over at the Jets, Fashenu and Membo, these are the types of guys you've got to have, man. You've got to have big, sturdy offensive tackles.
And that center of that offensive line, like what Chicago did this offseason in free agency, you've got to shore all that stuff up with professional players that know what they're doing or your quarterback's going to be under siege. And the Pittsburgh Steelers are at an inflection point with their franchise.
The rumors about Mike Tomlin may be leaving, like John Harbaugh leaving or going to be out there. Aaron Rodgers, I can't imagine, is going to come back and play next year. I just, I don't see it. I mean, he obviously got this team to the playoffs, but he just got his ass handed to him last night. It wasn't all his fault, but it's just...
When you're 42 years old, you've accomplished everything that he has. He came out of that jet thing, was able to have a good year with a good organization, going to the playoffs, winning the division. It's almost like it's time to go up into the mountains with your fake wife and just go away now. I think that's probably what he's thinking. But maybe he does come back.
Maybe there is an injury somewhere. Maybe... There's a situation that's just perfect for him next year. But what the Steelers do with the quarterback position and the head coach will be very interesting. I don't think Mike Tomlin's going to go anywhere now.

Chapter 5: What happened in the Texans vs. Steelers playoff game?
Good morning. Good morning, gentlemen. Hey. Best spot would be a trampoline park. Yeah. Great call. That's a great call. Great call, Haim. You're right. I mean, people would be just fighting to get into these trampoline parks, though. You'd probably fight to the death to get into the trampoline park. See how high you can go? Yeah. Bang! Everybody goes back up. There's ways to survive. Yep.
You know? But, like, I figured you'd like this because you're all about preparation. We are.
Chapter 6: How did Aaron Rodgers defend Mike Tomlin?
Start thinking about it. If this happens, you got until August. Just trying to think. I could put some anchors. Like some of those metal anchors and basically smash them into the cement floor in the basement. Yeah. You know, make sure that the basement's all padded up just in case. Yeah. And we're thinking this has happened around 1030? That's what they said, about 1030, yeah.
At least we got a time. Yeah, we got a time. Yeah. And what about the water? That's crazy to think about. The water's going to go up in the air and crash back down? How about if you were in an airplane? I don't know. That's interesting. Well, if you have your seatbelt on like you should, then you'd be. You think it just would be like some turbulence? Yeah. Yeah.
Well, if this project, I mean, there's not going to be any. planes in the air if we've got a date and time. You know what I'm saying? No one's just going to be up there flying. What about those guys driving those UPS trucks? What about those guys? They'll be right up in the air back there.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Seahawks' ticket resale warning?
Yeah, it'll be tough. Packages all over the place. I'm telling you, man. If we know a date and a time, no one's going to be out there. The Amazon drivers aren't going to be out there. Do you think if you're on the Southern State Parkway and you're driving and you've got one of those idiots weaving in and out of all the cars and everything, you know those guys with the mufflers and everything?
Yeah. Do you think that they would go floating in the air and just smash right into one of those bridges? I hope so. Yes. It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the fan end, CBS Sports Network. We're on Harbaugh. Watch any news.
We will get to you as soon as possible, either on this show or Evan Tiki and Sean or the Carton Show with Chris McMoneagle. It'll be right on the air for you to react to. The latest is that Chris Mara had an in-person meeting and a lunch with John Harbaugh, so we'll keep an eye on that. Obviously, a lot of other teams. in the mix as well.
And you had the Texans just beating the brakes off the Steelers last night, pulling away late 32-6. A couple of things, though, in the NFL I wanted to bring up that's a little bit off the beaten path or off the field. And one of these is what the Seattle Seahawks are saying to season ticket holders that are putting their tickets up on the secondary market. Hmm.
So they sent out a warning that said, we are seeing that you are reselling these tickets. And if you do resell these tickets, it could impact future sales to you of season tickets. Now, you would think... Just on the basis of this, when you hear that, you're like, well, wait a second. I bought these tickets. Now I could do whatever I want with these tickets. Isn't that the way the world works?
However, the Seattle Seahawks had an agreement with every season ticket holder that they had to sign that said, if we see that you are reselling your tickets more than you are using your tickets, we have the right to not offer you tickets in the future. And everybody had to sign that. Yeah, well, they're protecting their business. Yeah, right. But I mean, how do you, and I guess,
I guess this is one way to control it, but if you are a season ticket holder who, let's say, sells two of your games, and that can pay for the rest of those games, and you go to six of the games, you don't go to two of them. All right, so let me ask you a question. I understand.
I understand exactly what you're saying, because even Evan has talked about this, where he'll sell his tickets to Nick Games because he has those tickets at Nick's Games, and he basically... I think some of his MET tickets as well, and it helps him offset the cost, which I think as long as it's legal, it's a smart thing for you to do.
The thing that really bothers me about this whole situation about the secondary tickets is how many teams are holding back tickets and then releasing them on the secondary market. And then letting the market speak for itself. Oh, if that's going on. Oh, you got to believe that that's going on. You got to believe that's going on.

Chapter 8: What are the future coaching prospects for John Harbaugh?
Yeah, I remember this was a couple years ago. But I guess there's a difference between if a broker, a ticket broker, is buying season tickets and just to sell every single one of them. Yeah, but they also – it's like a stock. It's like – Is the stock going up or is the stock going down?
So when you bought your season tickets for the Seattle Seahawks at the beginning of the year or last year for this season, before they signed Sam Darnold and it was Geno Smith, maybe it was just the normal amount of money that you would – whatever. Maybe they had a 10% increase from the year before, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
So now, all of a sudden, here they are with the number one seed and a very good opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. And hopefully they'll have two home games in the eyes of the season ticket holders. Sure. And if these tickets are going for five times or ten times face value... It's like buying a stock while you could sell it.
Yeah, so what I don't want to see is the Seattle Seahawks season ticket holder that is loyal. He's been there. She's been there. Whatever. It's been in the family. And they went to six games. They sold two games. And now they have an opportunity where it's like, man, we could pay for next year's season tickets or most of it by selling this one game.
And then all of a sudden the Seahawks go, well, you can't buy season tickets any longer. Well, I am a fan. I am loyal. I just... This is an opportunity for me to make some money. If you remember, Jets and Giants had to sign PSLs. I wonder if that's going on in Buffalo. I don't know. I have not heard that yet. I bet you it is. Personal seat licenses, another way to get you.
Now, also, no one is forcing you to buy these tickets. You don't have to buy the tickets. True. And also, there's an agreement that you sign that says you can be impacted down the road, so you're aware of that. So the Seahawks, I think, are covering themselves from every angle. It just, at first, blush feels like, well, I mean, what are you, some sort of anti-capitalist?
Let me ask, well, in Seattle, maybe. Let me ask you this question. Yeah. Let's say the Jets did this. Let's say the Mets did this. Maybe they have, maybe they haven't. I don't know. But let's say they did do that.
Okay.
