How did Josh Allen dominate in the wildcard weekend?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Built Forward Tough studio, Boomer Esaias and Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan, simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Monday morning after most of the wildcard weekend games. We got the Texans and the Steelers tonight, but four out of the five over the weekend, really fun, really close, entertaining football games coming down to the end. It started with the Panthers and Rams and then Sort of ended with the 49ers and Eagles because last night was just a – it was really boring and ended with a thud. But, of course, if you're a Patriots fan, you don't care how you're moving on.
You are moving on. And a couple of teams we said keep an eye on if they lose that could – Getting to the John Harbaugh mix, well, they lost. The Green Bay Packers, in embarrassing fashion, giving up 25 fourth-quarter points to Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. And the defending Super Bowl champions go down at home to the San Francisco 49ers. Could either Nick Sirianni or Matt LaFleur be out later today? Good morning, Boomer.
How are you?
Yeah, good morning, G. And, you know, it's amazing because Matt LaFleur has one year left in his contract. So, you know, you don't want to have a lame duck head coach. You want to see if you can get a contract done. There were reports that they were working on their contract out in Green Bay. But because there's ties to John Harbaugh and his agent and the former CEO, Bob Harlan of the Green Bay Packers, this Robert Harlan, I guess his name is the son of Bob. And I mean, or the son of Kevin. I don't. I don't know. A lot of Harlins out there. A lot of Harlins. But anyway, there are connections there, too. There are connections here with the Giants. There's connections down there in Miami. When we left here on Friday, I said, man, it's got to be Miami.
It's got to be Miami. Talked the same way, yeah. And then the more you hear, you hear that he's, like, leaving it up to four different teams or potentially. four different teams for John Harbaugh to decide where he wants to coach. But you said it right, man. This weekend of football was amazing. And last night was a little bit of a dud, but it was a defensive game. You know, both defenses came to play. Both quarterbacks really struggled. Justin Herbert must have got hit about 25 times last night as the Chargers had no answer for the blitz package of the Patriots. But when you think about this weekend, 12 fourth-quarter lead changes, that's most in a single postseason all time already. They had four game-winning touchdowns in the final three minutes.
That's most in a single postseason all-time. Four comeback wins in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter, most in a single postseason all-time. And then two games with four go-ahead TDs in the fourth quarter, two in the rest of playoff history. So, I mean, that's just unbelievable football. It's exciting. It's riveting. And we're all sitting there waiting for a flag to come out. The whole thing, everybody's doing the same thing. But I have to say, you know, when I think about Matthew Stafford playing through, you know, the injuries that he had, I think about Josh Allen doing what he did with the Buffalo Bills. And, yeah, that was such a Josh Allen game. If anybody ever watched him when he was in college, you know, when he was at Wyoming?
And I didn't know really anything about him until my son Gunnar said, Dad, you got to see this kid playing in Wyoming. He's crazy. And back in those days, he was diving over people, running over people, taking hits, getting up, getting checked for concussions, bruised ribs, the whole thing. Yeah. And if you remember, Brian Daybolt both told us. about Josh Allen. When he was the head coach of the Giants, we would meet with him. And I said, you know, is Daniel Jones kind of like Josh Allen? He goes, well, really, you know, nobody's like Josh Allen because Josh Allen wants to get hit in a football game.
