A Look Ahead Toward the AFC Championship With Steven Muench

Brian starts the podcast by assessing Drake Maye’s postseason thus far and whether he can turn in a better performance against Denver, before recapping the Celtics’ close loss to Detroit (0:00). Then, he chats with The Ringer’s Steven Muench about the upcoming AFC championship, enjoying the Patriots’ surprisingly great season, how the Patriots offensive line will hold up against the Broncos’ elite pass rush, and how the Pats run game could be a major factor (27:30). Brian and Jamie end with a listener call, before discussing the NFL coaching vacancies and more (1:05:40).
