00:00 Now that we have an eye on the NFL playoffs, who is a team that you think could make some noise, maybe some surprise to people?
00:06 I've got two surprises for you and one in the AFC still blows my mind is the Houston Texans.
00:12 They won 11 games the last three years.
00:15 That's crazy.
00:16 They've got nine wins, they may win 10 and win a division.
00:18 What a, what a, D'Amico Ryan's coach of the year.
00:21 Yeah.
00:21 CJ Stroud, rookie of the year.
00:23 One of the greatest stories in the NFL this year.
00:26 But if you look in the NFC, I got to go with the Rams.
00:30 A team that, 2021 and then, 2022 they're down there below the basement.
00:36 I mean, last year they're 5 and 12.
00:38 2021, Cooper Cuff is the MVP.
00:42 He's got 150 catches and 16 touchdowns.
00:45 And this year they've really, not without him, but with like a third of his production, all of a sudden they're back.
00:51 And I mean when they're back, we saw them play the Cowboys here.
00:55 They were 3 and 6.
00:57 Yeah.
00:58 The Cowboys blew them out.
00:59 They went to Green Bay, got a hell of a lot of touchdown.
01:02 They go on their bye, 3 and 6, you're like, oh, the Rams are going to be 5 and 12 again.
01:04 Since the bye, they're 6 and 1.
01:07 Their only loss in overtime at the Ravens, which is a pretty, I mean, good loss.
01:11 Formidable opponent.
01:12 And they've done it with fifth round draft choices.
01:15 Puka Nakua has 100 catches.
01:17 How much would you bet on that before the year?
01:19 Well, when I drafted him for my fantasy football league, I honestly, no, I'm just kidding.
01:23 I picked him up on the wing.
01:24 That was a flex.
01:25 You drafted him.
01:26 That would have been really impressive.
01:27 It was a wave of water.
01:28 And then Kyron Williams, they're running back fifth round picks.
01:30 He's got 12 rushing touchdowns.
01:32 So Sean McVay, touche on the draft.
01:34 And those young kids making it work.
01:36 They're one of the most dangerous teams now, when we thought 3 and 6, they're out of the playoffs.
01:40 Good for Sean McVay.
01:42 He's easy to root for, especially when he says, of course I'm going to come back.
01:45 I coach the Rams next year.
01:46 Takes the job out of him.
01:47 Yeah, I love it.
