00:00Are you ready for Divisional Round, Taylor?
00:03Divisional Round!
00:04Yeah, been a dog's age since they've been in the Divisional Round.
00:08There's very exciting stuff.
00:09Only four teams left in the AFC.
00:12Two of them from the AFC East.
00:14Probably not that bad of a division, I guess.
00:16Pretty good little division.
00:17There must be a pretty strong division.
00:19Could be the last two in the AFC title game.
00:21Could be the last two standing.
00:22If I was going to forecast...
00:23If I was going to predict it, which I'm not going to do today.
00:25No, no, no, no.
00:25We're going to sit on that.
00:26I would say there's an opportunity that could be the case.
00:28A good thing to get into today.
00:30We did it last Wednesday going into Pats and Chargers.
00:32And it proved to be quite prophetic.
00:34Oh my God, did it ever.
00:35Is the Tale of the Tate matchup between the Pats and Chargers a week ago.
00:39We'll do that with the Pats and Texans coming up here on Jones & Keefe.
00:43Your phone number, 617-779-7937.
00:47That's how you dial us up.
00:48On a Would You Rather Wednesday, we'll do some Would You Rathers at 1130.
00:53Hashtag Dork Minute, 1145.
00:55Pure Hoops with Terp at High Noon.
00:57We'll mix in some Bruins talk today as well.
00:59Plus, we'll hear the head coach, Mike Vrabel, live a little after 1 o'clock here on WEEI.
01:05Your ways to get in touch on Twitter and Instagram at Jones & Keefe.
01:08You can watch along and chat twitch.tv slash boston WEEI.
01:12Always, and I mean always, a healthy chat going on on Twitch.
01:15Do the same on YouTube.
01:16You can watch there.
01:17You can chat there.
01:18Just subscribe to WEEI.
01:20You heard Tommy Curran yesterday.
01:21If you missed any of it, rewind feature on the Odyssey app.
01:24You won't miss a second of Jones & Keefe.
01:26Breaking down some of the advantages where the Patriots have an edge, where the Texans have an edge.
01:32So we figured, Keefe, let's double down, tail of the tape, and go through position by position, Jones & Keefe style.
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:39Not everybody's going to hit all of these groups.
01:41I don't think so.
01:42And then same rules apply.
01:44Yes, yes, yes.
01:44If you and I agree, checkmark for that team.
01:47If we disagree, Billy Laney will break the tie, and then we'll continue moving on.
01:50Okay.
01:50Right?
01:50So there'll be no ties overall.
01:52There'll be a checkmark for one of these for each team.
01:56And we have an odd number.
01:57So we can't finish with the tie.
01:59Good point.
01:59We've thought through everything.
02:00So there will be an advantage at the end of this.
02:02At the end.
02:03Okay.
02:03There will be a winner.
02:04Good.
02:04As predicted by the Jones & Keefe, tail of the tape.
02:06Billy, what's first up?
02:08Quarterback.
02:09Patriots.
02:09Drake May.
02:09That one's easy.
02:10This one's not close.
02:11We went Patriots.
02:12Curran kind of stole our thunder there off the top, quite frankly.
02:14Yeah, kind of did.
02:15That one's Drake May.
02:16We're all in agreeance on that.
02:17And I think last week, we both went with Drake May.
02:21But last week was a little bit closer.
02:23Right?
02:23Like, Justin Herbert, I think, is better than C.J. Stroud.
02:25Now, Justin Herbert in the playoffs, maybe a different story.
02:28Well, I'll tell you.
02:29When we went through our quarterback rankings, I think we actually had Stroud higher than
02:33We may have.
02:33Yeah.
02:33Because he's won a couple of games, given that benefit.
02:35But they just won whatever it was, 30-6, and he did not play well.
02:40No.
02:40You know, the defense scored more than the offense did.
02:42And he doesn't really scare you.
02:44Not a bum, right?
02:45I'm not saying one of those things.
02:47He's certainly not a backup or whatever.
02:49But this is a pretty significant advantage for the Patriots.
02:52Okay.
02:53Yeah.
02:53We agree.
02:54What's next, Billy?
02:55Running back.
02:56Got to be Pats.
02:56I also think that's Pats.
02:58Ramondre Stevenson has been a man on a mission this last month.
03:01He was one of the best players on the field last week against the Chargers.
03:05I mean, Jones and Keefe grades, not to be confused with PFF grades.
03:08Very different.
03:08Very different.
03:09The number one offensive player.
03:10I would have graded Stevenson on the Jones and Keefe advanced metrics grades.
03:14The best offensive player on the field.
03:16Henderson, you'd like to see a little bit more out of.
03:18And then on the flip side, you have Woody Marks, who, credit to Nick, had him in our
03:22Bozo touchdown parlay.
03:23He did punch it in the end zone.
03:24Great work, Nick.
03:26And he's not, I mean, he's not bad, but I just, I like the Patriots running back.
03:30The corpse of Nick Chubb is pretty bad.
03:31Well, they do have, they do have Weekend at Bernie's Nick Chubb.
03:34This to me is the difference.
03:35Let's say you even prefer Woody Marks to Travion Henderson, if you do.
03:38Well, the Patriots have two of them.
03:39And I would give the check mark to the Pats on that one.
03:42Two dragons.
03:43This time it's going to be two dragons.
03:45Two dragons versus one Woody.
03:46Just one Woody Marks.
03:48That's all they have.
03:48I'm going Pats.
03:49But okay, me too.
03:50We agree.
03:51Wide receivers.
03:52All right, so this one, I think, comes down to a pretty big caveat.
03:57Is Nico Collins going to play?
03:59My answer, no.
03:59I don't think so.
04:00I don't think so either.
04:01Monday Night Football, he smashes his head face first into the ground, leaves via a cart.
04:07So he's in concussion protocol.
04:09The game is Sunday, right?
04:11They don't have the Saturday super quick turnaround for him.
04:13But he's on the game Sunday.
04:15I don't think he's playing.
04:16And if he's not playing, the Patriots have the advantage.
04:20I think it's as simple as if he plays, they have the advantage, meaning the Texans.
04:24And if he doesn't, then the Pats do.
04:25So here's what I think.
04:26And Terp, not to throw this at you last second.
04:28Uh-oh.
04:28And maybe we can do this with another group when we get there as well.
04:31We got to go in parentheses.
04:33Wide receiver.
04:34No Nico.
04:35Do you think he has the ability to do parentheses?
04:37I don't know.
04:37That's why I'm saying I'm doing this on the fly.
04:39But we have to make it clear in the graphic.
04:41We'll have to ask Jordan Hudson if they have that on Adobe Photoshop.
04:44Because you know what we're going to get in the comments.
04:46Bah!
04:47You think that Nico Collins is better than Nico?
04:50No, I don't.
04:51I don't think Nico's going to play.
04:52So we need something in the graphic that reflects that and the status of Gonzalez when we get there.
04:57But I'll say without Nico, the Patriots have the better group.
04:59Maybe he can write all that in.
05:00Just write all that in.
05:01Write in the whole team.
05:02With Nico Collins.
05:03Then we give the advantage to the Texans.
05:04Yeah.
05:06You can figure that out, Terp.
05:07That's on you.
05:08He's good.
05:09But I think that's sound analysis.
05:11I agree.
05:11Because Diggs will be the best receiver in the game.
05:14I think Christian Kirk had a monster game last week.
05:17He hasn't done that all year.
05:18No.
05:18The Texans rookies are nice players.
05:20But I'd take the Patriots group over that.
05:21Assuming there's no Nico Collins.
05:23And I'm assuming that.
05:24So check Mark Pats.
05:25They're underwhelming, the other receivers.
05:27So in the game against Pittsburgh, Christian Kirk had eight catches.
05:30Jaden Higgins had three.
05:33Xavier Hutchinson had two.
05:35And then Nico Collins, before he got hurt, had three.
05:37And that was it.
05:38Yep.
05:38From the wideouts.
05:39Okay.
05:39Tight ends.
05:41It's fair.
05:41It's also Patriots.
05:42It has to be the Patriots.
05:43Hunter Henry had a great game.
05:45He had that monster third and 13, 19-yard catch.
05:48Had the only touchdown in the game.
05:51Hooper should have had a touchdown.
05:53Drake May even admitted it.
05:54Drake May was like, I missed hoop on a play.
05:57So that was a well-run route by Hooper.
05:59He just didn't throw it to him.
06:01As compared to Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover.
06:05So I'll take the Pats.
06:06I will take the Pats.
06:06We're very happy Pats right now.
06:07Dalton Schultz is not a bad player.
06:09No, no.
06:09But I'll take the Pats there for sure.
06:11Okay.
06:11A lot of offensive check marks for the Patriots.
06:13It was kind of how we expected it to go.
06:14Next up.
06:15Offensive line.
06:17All right.
06:17Don't hear what we're not saying.
06:19Campbell and.
06:20Don't hear what we're not saying.
06:21Wilson.
06:22I'm nervous about.
06:23I'm a nervous Nelly.
06:25However.
06:25However.
06:26The Texans O-line is bad too.
06:27We spent consistent time on this yesterday.
06:30Yeah.
06:30We were talking about the Patriots and their ability to rush Justin Herbert last week.
06:34Yeah.
06:35That had everything to do with the Chargers O-line.
06:36And I'm like, was that specific to the Chargers?
06:39Or is that now something they're going to do in the postseason?
06:41I think they can victimize this offensive line as well.
06:44I think it's checkmark Patriots.
06:45I think it is as well.
06:46Now, I don't typically utilize the PFF statistics.
06:49No, no.
06:50We use Jones and Keefe grades.
06:51Correct.
06:51Yeah.
06:51But when it comes to some of the hog mollies up front, I like to see just what other people
06:54are saying.
06:55And they had their final grades for the 2025 season.
06:59One through 32 offensive line.
07:02Just as a point of reference.
07:03I wasn't going to take it with, you know, and be like, this is for sure what it is.
07:06Do you want to guess the number where the Patriots ranked offensive line?
07:10One through 32.
07:1110.
07:1211.
07:13Very good guess.
07:14Do you want to guess where the Houston Texans ranked?
07:1722.
07:1827.
07:19Okay.
07:19Wow.
07:20Pretty noticeable difference.
07:21Yes.
07:21So I'm with you.
07:22Yeah.
07:22Will Campbell scares me a little bit.
07:25You think they could take advantage of Big Trent Brown, former friend of the team
07:29here?
07:29Sure.
07:29Big Trent.
07:30Yeah.
07:30He's extra big.
07:31He's extra big now.
07:32Cost of a week?
07:33Maybe.
07:33He might have to be.
07:34I think we, didn't we give it to him one week this year?
07:36Oh, yeah.
07:37I think he's already been a Haas of the week.
07:38Yeah, that's true.
07:39I'm sorry.
07:39Not in 2026.
07:40He's got to be one of the biggest guys in the week.
07:41Yeah, because we were debating whether to put his tattoo in the picture or not.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Right.
07:44I remember that.
07:45Right.
07:45Yeah.
07:45He's already been a Haas of the week.
07:46One time Haas of the week.
07:47Let's go clean sweep for the Patriots offense.
07:50Okay.
07:51Again, outside of the caveat about Nico Collins.
07:52Am I missing something, by the way?
07:53Did Nico get ruled out?
07:55There's a flood of texts.
07:56I'm trying to find this.
07:57Am I missing a joke?
07:59Like, did I miss something this morning?
08:00I didn't see that Nico was ruled out.
08:02Perhaps I missed it.
08:03I doubt they would rule him out this early.
08:04I mean, that's my instinct as well.
08:06Yeah.
08:06So maybe I'm missing an inside joke here.
08:07But a flood of texts about that.
08:09Anyway, O-line, checkmark Pats.
08:11I think most people say he's most likely missing the game.
08:13Yeah.
08:13But there's no reason why on Wednesday morning we would know that.
08:16The only thing I see is in concussion protocol.
08:19Yeah.
08:19Which I knew.
08:19I doubt he's playing.
08:20But that doesn't mean he's been ruled out.
08:22Okay.
08:23Anywho, what's next?
08:24Defensive line.
08:25I want your answer on this first.
08:27Because I don't want to be accused of being a homer.
08:29Well, so let's do defensive tackle this week.
08:31So the last time I think I labeled it wrong.
08:33I said D-line.
08:34Let's call it D-tackle.
08:35Because people were like, what about the edge?
08:36We'll get there.
08:37Because edge will be separate.
08:38So we're talking like interior defensive tackles.
08:40D-tackle.
08:40Let's go with the Patriots.
08:43It's Milton Williams.
08:44How could you not?
08:45The big dogs are going to eat.
08:47It's January.
08:47It's Christian Barmore.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Oh, Vrabel was very complimentary of the big dogs.
08:51And the big dogs showed up in January.
08:53No, those guys are great.
08:55Yeah, I think it has to be them.
08:56And no knock on anything that the Texans bring to the table there.
09:00But Milton Williams gives you an advantage most games, I would say, at that spot.
09:05I mean, Patriots go for a clean sweep here.
09:07But they might.
09:08They might run the table.
09:10I have the Patriots D-tackles as well, Keith.
09:12And good tweak on the labeling.
09:14That's how we should label it this week.
09:16Yes, yes, yes.
09:16Okay, Patriots again.
09:17Edge rushes.
09:18Okay, well, this is Houston.
09:20This is Texas.
09:21And unfortunately for the Texans, this will only count as one check mark.
09:24But it feels, it should be like eight.
09:25It's probably the biggest gap on the board.
09:28It might be the best pass rushing tandem in the NFL.
09:31His name is Will Manderson.
09:33Nobody calls him that.
09:34You've tried to get that to stick.
09:35That's an unbelievable name.
09:37But.
09:37For being a man out there on the field.
09:39And the man across from him has a lady named.
09:41Danielle Hunter.
09:44Who'd have thought?
09:46Yeah, they should trademark that.
09:47The man and the lady.
09:48The man and the lady.
09:49The man and the lady.
09:50Yeah.
09:50They had 27 sacks between the two of them.
09:52Like, that is terrifying.
09:53That's a big.
09:54So, I agree.
09:55It's only one check.
09:56But it is.
09:56It's like.
09:57It's a weighty check.
09:59Bigger gap there.
10:00The quarterback matchup.
10:02Yeah, this is.
10:04I think.
10:04I like Stroud more than most.
10:06But this is a bigger gap, I think.
10:07No, this is pretty significant.
10:09Okay, next.
10:10Linebackers.
10:11Yeah, I think you go to Texans as well.
10:13Al Shire's a good player.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Dirty player.
10:15He's not all pro, right?
10:16He's just pro bowler.
10:17He's pro bowler.
10:18Dirty player, but good player.
10:19Texans get the edge there.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Although, I didn't realize this.
10:23I was reading, Bragg, Mike Reese this morning.
10:25Oh, hell yeah.
10:26I didn't realize.
10:27Gibbons only played 14 snaps and had seven tackles.
10:29So, Gibbons has been like a nice little find for them.
10:31Wow.
10:31Without spilling.
10:32Tackles per snap.
10:33That's towards the top.
10:34A lot of production there.
10:35Yeah.
10:35Collinsworth loved him during the game.
10:36Yeah, I mean.
10:37He loved Gibbons.
10:37Gibbons was good in the limited snaps.
10:39Our guy Christian Ellis had a good game.
10:40I didn't realize it was that productive.
10:44The linebackers aren't bad for the pads, but you got to give the checkmark there to the Texans.
10:48Cornerbacks.
10:49Texans.
10:49Yeah, this one's closer, though, because I like the Patriots corners.
10:53Oh, I do, too.
10:53A lot.
10:54Stingley, though, was all pro.
10:56Gonzalez wasn't.
10:57Gonzalez also in concussion protocol.
10:58However, did you see his Instagram?
11:00I know you're all over it.
11:01Yeah, no, I did.
11:01Hang on.
11:02He's a man of few words, so that's why Instagram's good for him.
11:05What was the quote again?
11:06It was, I'm back.
11:07Is that the song?
11:07Ah, it's like a song.
11:08I'm back.
11:09You tried to read into this and he was out for six more weeks.
11:10And we were wrong.
11:11And that's what I was going to bring up.
11:12That's right.
11:13He had a song, I'm back.
11:15Yeah, do you remember what the old one was?
11:17What was that?
11:17That was during camp, right?
11:18I'm back.
11:19That get back?
11:20Get back.
11:21Get back.
11:21Well, that's different.
11:22Yeah, that is different.
11:23This one's I'm back by G Herbo.
11:25G Herbo had this one?
11:26Yeah, G Herbo.
11:27I don't know if that could be a rejoiner, Nick.
11:29It's a track by G Herbo.
11:30Okay.
11:31So he has a picture of him and Milton Williams, I believe.
11:33It says, I'm back.
11:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:37Okay.
11:37That was get back.
11:38That's get back.
11:39That's different than I'm back.
11:39This one's I'm back.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Okay.
11:41So even with him back, I think it's close.
11:43I just feel like Carl Davis hasn't been as good as I wanted him to be all year.
11:46It's Stingley over Gonzo.
11:47Yeah.
11:47And it's Lasseter over Davis.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Texans.
11:49So the edge goes to the Texans.
11:51Do we need to denote anything in this graphic for Gonzalez's status?
11:54Because I do think he's playing.
11:55I think he's playing too, but we know Stingley's playing.
11:58So I think they get the edge.
11:59They get it either way.
12:00Yeah.
12:00Yeah.
12:00Okay.
12:01Next.
12:02Safeties.
12:03All right.
12:04I think that has to be Houston too.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Woodson had a good game.
12:08He did.
12:08The Eraser had a good game against the Chargers, but I would agree.
12:11Caden Bullock.
12:12Yeah.
12:12Good player.
12:13Uh-huh.
12:13I think that's, I think that's them.
12:16That one's closer.
12:17And really it's because I think so little of the Patriots safety play.
12:20Friend of the show, Craig Woodson.
12:22Right.
12:23Wonderful guest.
12:23And he did have a good game.
12:25Yeah.
12:25This one's, I guess, probably closer.
12:26But I would lean Houston.
12:28Hawkins is also one of those guys that he gives it to take it away.
12:31He'll have like an interception.
12:32He'll also give up a touchdown.
12:33Like this might not be a fair way of looking at it, but like the Patriots have a better offense.
12:36So a tiebreaker, I'm probably going to lean Pats on offense.
12:38The Texans have a better defense.
12:39So a tiebreaker, I'm probably just going to give them the benefit of the doubt.
12:42Okay.
12:42So that's how I would go on that.
12:43All right.
12:44Kick up.
12:45All right.
12:45I think this has to be Borg, Alice, but let me double check.
12:48Fair Baron this year was 44 of 48.
12:52That's better than I thought.
12:53Which is 91.7%.
12:54His only misses were 50 plus.
12:57Oh.
12:578 of 8, 20 to 29.
12:5911 of 11, 30 to 39.
13:0016 out of 16, 40 to 49.
13:029 out of 13, 50 plus.
13:03Good Lord.
13:04He did not miss an extra point.
13:05I feel like you could pencil him in for missing a big kick.
13:08That's also what I thought.
13:09Fair Baron?
13:09But man, he had a good year.
13:11Guy looks pretty great.
13:12I feel like every time he's out there for a game winning kick, he always misses.
13:15Okay.
13:15He does.
13:16Didn't miss an extra point.
13:17And his only misses were over 50 yards.
13:19So inside of 50, the guy made every single kick?
13:22Yep.
13:23Okay.
13:24Well.
13:24That might have to go Texans.
13:25I think we have to go Texans.
13:26I think we're nothing if not fair.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Texans.
13:30Okay.
13:30Although, did Borghouse miss for 50 plus?
13:33Yeah.
13:34Oh.
13:34Yeah, didn't he?
13:34He also has a 59 yarder.
13:36Yep.
13:36Longer than Fair Baron's longest.
13:39I thought he did.
13:41So there's that.
13:42Missed from one that far out.
13:43But hang on.
13:43Got it.
13:44Got it.
13:45Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
13:46What do you got?
13:47He was.
13:48Nope.
13:48He was 4 for 4 from 50 plus, but only 7 of 11 from 40 to 49.
13:52I think you got to go Fair Baron.
13:53I'll go Fair Baron.
13:53That was not my first instinct.
13:54No.
13:55I think you have to.
13:56See, this is why we went in there and looked at it.
13:58This is why we do the tail of the tape.
13:59Nobody else does.
14:00Some people would do this beforehand, not us.
14:01Don't kick her, though.
14:02Borghouse kicking outside.
14:03It's true.
14:06Yeah, it's fair.
14:06Yeah, we said what we said.
14:08Yeah, it's locked in.
14:09What's next?
14:11Head coach.
14:11Okay, this one, we already ranked him, and it's variable.
14:14Patriots.
14:15Yeah.
14:15Yeah.
14:15To be good, Ryan's really good, and it kind of flies under the radar when discussing best
14:20head coaches.
14:21Don't you think?
14:22Like, I don't think his name ever gets really brought up, and yet he's in the playoffs
14:24every year.
14:25He wins the all game every year.
14:26I think Ryan's has a really good program, really good coach.
14:29I think they're very similar.
14:29You know, they were talking about old school coaches earlier today and how there are so
14:33few left that are successful in the league, and Sean Payton's name came up, and Ninkovich
14:36said, Vrabel's kind of a new school, old school guy.
14:39I like it.
14:40Middle school.
14:41I think Ryan's would be that as well.
14:45Like, I think they're very, very similar.
14:47Yeah.
14:47And, yeah, no, I like him a lot as a coach, but I'd give the advantage to Mike Vrabel.
14:51Yeah.
14:51And I could see if you cover the team in Houston and you pay attention to everything he says
14:56and does, maybe you would lean D'Amico Ryan's, right?
14:59Like, it's close enough there, but, like, we hear Mike Vrabel every week.
15:03We love the turnaround here and everything else.
15:05So, yeah, I'm going Vrabel.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Okay.
15:06Uniform.
15:07All right.
15:08I don't even, you know me.
15:08I don't love the Pats uniforms, especially the ones they wear now.
15:12Throwback, they always have the advantage, but the ones they wear now, but the Texans uniforms
15:15are pretty bad.
15:16Horrible.
15:16And, like, when they wear, unless they were wearing the Houston Oilers throwbacks.
15:20Right.
15:20And then the Patriots are wearing throwbacks.
15:22We're not doing best on best.
15:23We're doing what we think they're wearing this weekend.
15:25But I'm saying the Texans have even some of their, like, remember the all red one is so bad.
15:28It's one of the worst.
15:29They had one of the worst ones.
15:30They had a primetime game this year that they wore some, like, offensive one that was, like,
15:34one of the worst in football.
15:36I think it might have been in the Bills game.
15:37It was a Bills game.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Was that the red on red?
15:39Yeah.
15:39Maybe they should wear that again, honestly, the way they played, but it looks so terrible.
15:42The helmet was red, but you couldn't even make out the logo.
15:44You're like, you didn't change the color of it.
15:46So, yeah, no, Patriots get the...
15:47The Patriots do not win many uniform battles, but this is one where the Patriots win.
15:52I agree.
15:53Yeah.
15:53Celebrity fans.
15:54Okay, so we've already talked about the Patriots celebrity fans.
15:58You know, it's the Wahlberg brothers.
16:01It's Affleck.
16:01It's Damon.
16:02Cardi B.
16:03It's Cardi B.
16:04Great one.
16:05Oh, yeah.
16:05And Michael May.
16:07Yeah, if we're doing that, that's...
16:08Well, that's a little bit different.
16:08And Michael May.
16:10Michael May.
16:10These are the fans.
16:11Jon Bon Jovi, apparently.
16:12Sure, yeah.
16:13These are the big fans.
16:14The celebrity fans for the Houston Texans...
16:18Mattress Mac.
16:19...are Dennis Quaid.
16:21Oh, I'm a Randy Quaid guy, but okay.
16:23Joel Osteen.
16:25Okay.
16:26He's a pastor.
16:27Sure.
16:28George Foreman.
16:29Well...
16:31What?
16:32Is he rooting for him in the sky?
16:33I think he's...
16:35He might be rooting for him in the sky.
16:35Waving his Texans pom-poms in the sky.
16:37That's for him.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Rico Rodriguez.
16:40He was the kid in Modern Family.
16:43He's grown up now.
16:44He died in March of 2025.
16:46Rico Rodriguez?
16:47No, I'm sorry.
16:48George Foreman.
16:48Oh, Foreman.
16:49Yeah.
16:49He's grilling in the sky.
16:51Thank God.
16:51He's scared me.
16:52Give me a real start there on Rico Rodriguez.
16:54Yeah, Foreman.
16:56He is survived by eight kids all named George.
17:00There's that.
17:00Millions of grills.
17:02Simone Biles.
17:03Oh, big one.
17:03Texans fan.
17:04Nice.
17:05Scott Kelly.
17:06Yep.
17:06He's an astronaut.
17:07There should be a lot of those.
17:08Mark Kelly.
17:10Astronaut.
17:12Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory.
17:15Oh, he's funny.
17:16Booker T, five-time champion.
17:17How about that?
17:17Booker T, five, five, five, five, five-time champion.
17:21Jose Altuve is a noted Texans fan.
17:24Loves him.
17:25Anybody say Paul Wall yet?
17:27Paul Wall is getting there, Bill.
17:28Oh, Paul Wall.
17:29The Houston rapper.
17:31Bun B.
17:32Another Houston rapper.
17:33Scarface?
17:34Scarface must be on the list.
17:35I got Slim Thug.
17:36Oh, okay.
17:37Where's my Scarface?
17:38Booker T, Jones, Trey the Truth, Zero, Z-R-O.
17:46All right.
17:46I think I'm going Patriots.
17:47I want Pats.
17:48Yeah, I want Pats.
17:49I just wanted to paint the whole picture here before we...
17:52Okay.
17:52I mean, the fact that Scarface turned his back on the Texans, apparently, just swings me
17:55to the Pats all by itself.
17:56Yep.
17:56Okay.
17:57What else?
17:57Last one.
17:58Mascot.
17:59All right, Jones.
17:59This might sway you.
18:01Toro, the Houston Texans mascot.
18:03He's a blue bull.
18:04Yeah, I think he's known for his high-flying stunts.
18:06I think you got to go Toro.
18:07Inducted into the mascot Hall of Fame.
18:09I didn't even know that, but that's...
18:10I mean, look, that's a good-looking mascot.
18:11I do know that.
18:12So, I think you got to go Toro on this one.
18:14He is a blue bull, so...
18:16Yeah, I have no problem.
18:17I have no problem going into the Texans.
18:19So, tail of the tape, we give the Patriots the advantage at quarterback, running back,
18:23wide receiver, tight end, O-line, D-tackle, head coach, uniform, and celebrity fans.
18:29That is eight check marks for the Patriots.
18:30I believe it's nine.
18:32Nine check marks for the Patriots?
18:33I can't count my own fingers.
18:34Look at that.
18:35I'm literally holding up four fingers.
18:36I can't even count my own fingers.
18:38So, we're going to have six for the Texans.
18:40Edge rusher, linebacker, cornerback, safety, kicker, and, of course, the mascot.
18:46Congrats on going to the AFC title game.
18:47I think that may have been the tail of the tape last week.
18:48Was it nine, six, and came to the Patriots?
18:50It was very similar.
18:51Wow.
18:51So, congrats on the AFC title game.
18:53The only question is, where is it?
18:56It's going to be...
18:57Tail of the tape.
18:57Bill's Broncos tomorrow.
18:59It's going to be here.
19:00Hopefully, Denver.
19:01Hopefully, Denver.
19:02I would rather go to Denver than get Josh Allen here.
19:05Okay.
19:05You heard it.
19:06Good exercise.
19:06How do you think we did?
19:076-1-7-7-7-9-7-9-9-3-7.
19:10You can jump in on that.
19:11Plus, we'll get to the latest on Mike Tomlin right after Trending with Billy Lane.
