Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Refs Ruined Championship Weekend, Mahomes’ Toughness on Full Display & the Eagles Cakewalk to the Super Bowl

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) bring you wall-to-wall reaction to the AFC and NFC Championship games. Unfortunately, bad officiating seemed to be the story of the weekend as the zebras absolutely botched several key plays in both games. Expect we'll see an officiating overhaul of some sort before next season. As far as the games themselves, Patrick Mahomes' toughness was on full display as he led to the Kansas City Chiefs to a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. What Mahomes was able to do on a bum ankle and down 3 of his best wide receivers is precisely why he's worth every penny of that $500 million contract. Not to be outdone, the Chiefs defense harassed Joe Burrow all night and came up with two huge turnovers to seal the win. The NFC Championship game, on the other hand, was a snoozefest as the San Francisco 49ers were forced to play their 4th string quarterback due to injury. So while the Philadelphia Eagles have been downright dominant during their postseason run, a case can be made that they've had the easiest path to the Super Bowl in NFL history. Later, the guys share their thoughts on a few other NFL stories that hit the newswire on Sunday. First, the Dallas Cowboys decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Moore wasn't great in Dallas but he definitely wasn't the biggest problem either. This one definitely feels like Mike McCarthy is trying to save his own skin. Finally, the guys close the show with a wild Kyler Murray conspiracy theory that is guaranteed to have you re-thinking everything you thought we knew about the Arizona Cardinals.
