You decided that more listeners snoring on the phone would not be conducive to excitement over the radio show. Producer Jay has tabled the snorers. He's hidden them again somewhere deep in the archives of our audio files.

Yeah, I don't know how that excites people. Hey, come listen to our radio show because we put you to sleep. And when you do fall asleep, we record you snoring on the phone. Beware.

Don't worry about anything. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. Can I make a confession before we hop into baseball? I don't know what happened to me because I was a shill for the Monday Night Manings last week, or excuse me, last year. I have not watched even a single episode of the Monday Night Manings yet, and I don't know why. Now on Monday night, as in last night, it was because I had to really focus football. Plus there were baseball games going on at the same time, so I didn't feel like I could spare the brain cells to watch Peyton and Eli.

Just because it's a different part of your brain, right? It's mindless a lot of times. They're funnier when the game is not interesting or when the play is not at the highest level.

I really do enjoy what they bring to the table. Last night I felt like I had too much to do, but I haven't watched it at all this year. Every time I look up, because NFL Network replays their broadcast, I look up and for some reason Eli's got this gigantic cardboard cutout head of Peyton, and it's got a very large forehead. In fact, more than half of the head is his forehead, and Eli's punching it. I don't know why he's punching it, Jay, but I imagine that was funny. Let me see you shred that thing.

Now, I've always wanted to do this. Eli, six guys in the box, right? Playing zone coverage. They actually blitzed the safety late, but he gets there so late.

Watch him. And the one's coming down late, but it's too late, right? Eli's not affecting the play. Crosby kind of got caught in a little bit of a bind there.

He was actually unblocked. Peyton just pretends like it didn't happen and keeps on talking football, and Eli's punching his cardboard face. The two of them are awesome. They're a really funny combination. I just haven't had a chance to tune in, or I haven't thought about tuning in, and then it's too late. I feel like if I jump in late, I don't know. You can't show up that late to the party. You miss stuff. Other people have private jokes. You don't know what's going on.

You try to get to the hors d'oeuvres table, and you know they're talking about you behind you. What time does she show up? Next week. Next week, let's make a pass. Oh no, because next week there'll probably be baseball as well. I don't know.

The Manning's are going to have to wait. I'm going to be totally honest. I completely forgot about the broadcast in its entirety last night. Oh, last night. Have you watched it already this season?

Not really. Not as much as last year, but last night I completely forgot all about it. I never missed an episode of the Monday Night Manning's last week. I cared more about that show than I did about the actual game. Now, as it turned out, a lot of the Monday Night games were not as interesting, and they would make fun of them.

Well, not make fun of them, but their consternation over bad quarterback play is hysterical. What I noticed last year when I was watching it regularly was that I was watching more for the first half, and then when the game, if it got good or interesting, I'd have to turn it off because I'd have to actually focus and pay attention, and with them it's kind of just not easy to do. Right.

That was my deal with myself, is I would only watch until halftime, and then I would go back to the actual broadcast. Nope. I'm going to have to get back on board the train.

Cowboys-Chargers next Monday night. Huh. What did we hear from Micah Parsons? Laugh now, cry later.

Oh, he wasn't addressing Justin Herbert, but, you know, he could use the same message. Laugh now, cry later. But I'm going to say this.

Laugh now, cry later. Trust. Do you trust? That's what he wants to know from Cowboys fans.

I'd like to know that from Cowboys fans. Do you trust after what you saw Sunday night? I could have used the Monday night meetings with the Sunday night broadcast.

They would have provided some mirth. Is that too soon? Not laughing at you, Cowboys. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio. Monday night was the return. Well, it wasn't the return. Although, actually, considering how many Packers fans filled Allegiant Stadium, you could almost say it felt like a return for Devontae Adams to the Packers fan base.

There was a chance of Go Pack Go breaking out in Las Vegas because, of course, it's a destination now and it was a holiday weekend for a lot of people. But one of the reasons we saw so many Bills and Jags fans make the trip to London over the weekend. So yeah, there were plenty of Packers fans. Maybe it did feel familiar for Devontae Adams, who's now catching passes from a third different quarterback in three years. So we talked about playing against his former team.

We'll get to that and we'll get to football. But the drama of the football game, as much fun as it was, seeing the Raiders and the Packers go toe to toe in Las Vegas, you know what was more fun? What was more jaw-dropping? The finish to the Braves and Phillies. I hope that you tuned in. We needed Peyton and Eli for that one.

My goodness. Do you think they follow baseball? I've never heard either one of them mention baseball.

Never once. I don't see them as baseball guys. They like to golf.

They'll talk about golf. Hockey? Eli Manning has showed up at some hockey games before. Eli tends to go to Ranger games. Peyton, I don't know.

I don't either. Oh well, he lives in Denver. So he'll go to other Denver sporting events. You'll see him show up. Like when the Avalanche were in the Stanley Cup Final. You'll see him show up to other sporting events.

I don't know why I brought that up. Anyway, back to Major League Baseball. Game 2. Phillies and Braves. Remember, the Phillies jumped out to a lead and were able to shut out the Braves in the opener of this National League Division Series. And I imagine against Zach Wheeler, first inning, second inning, third inning, as the Braves are failing to get a run across the plate, but not just that, failing to get a hit.

This might have felt a little bit like déjà vu, but also the pressure in your own park. You're already facing, or you're already down, and you're now facing an 0-2 deficit, which is even worse than a year ago. You see the Phillies jump out to an early lead and you can't even manage a hit against Zach Wheeler into the sixth inning. Imagine how much of a relief that felt for the Atlanta Braves, whose lineup is power-packed.

They've got speed, they can hit for average, they can knock the snot out of the ball. It was a record-setting season for these Braves in terms of their home run. So for them to get shut out for a game and a half and not even manage a hit against Zach Wheeler until the sixth inning, but then because Ronald Acuna was on base with a walk, always a threat to run, he challenges pitchers and, well, infields and outfields, challenges fielders as well as pitchers because of his speed. Trey Turner has a rare error, and Acuna comes all the way around.

The relief. And if you're the Phillies or the fan base, you had to wonder what else they had in store. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence here on CBS Sports Radio, Ben Ingram with the calls on Braves Radio. Zach was cruising along. He set a career playoff high with 10 strikeouts, had allowed just one hit.

I think there may have been two walks in there, but for the most part, he was large and in charge. But you get into the seventh inning, there's a little bit of, I'd say, rumbling coming out of the Braves dugout because they know, they know that there's the potential here. Do you think somebody in the Braves dugout said, we got it right where we want him?

This is what we need, right where we want him. And one mistake by Zach, and it changes everything. It didn't give the Braves the lead, but it changed everything. Travis Darno over two in the ball game. Travis hits one well to left field, heading back to the wall.

Darno's got something to say. It's a two-run homer, and it's a one-run game here in the bottom of the seventh. It was definitely a no-doubter for Travis Darno, and Zach Wheeler leaves before the seventh inning is done. Now keep in mind, one of the runs was unearned, and the Braves were still trailing at this point. It's frustrating, but like I said, I kind of let them get the momentum going, and it's my fault, so I let them rip back in the game. It was tough, but now we're going to Philly, and we're going to have to play at our place, and it's not worth playing there.

It's definitely not his fault. Yes, the Braves used their last couple at bats against Wheeler to find that momentum, but it was always simmering right beneath the surface. It's like a volcano waiting to erupt.

It rumbles, you can feel it, you know something's happening, and then when it does, you can't be surprised because the volcano's active. Well, in this case, we know what the Braves can do with the plate. So Darno with the home run, scores Matt Olson 4-3, then Zach Wheeler's gone, he gives way to Reliever who comes in, I think it was Alvarado after him, and then Jeff Hoffman in the eighth inning. Hoffman promptly puts a runner on base via the hit-by pitch to bring up Austin Riley.

Cast his eyes on the right-hander, Hoffman, who comes set right at the bell. 3-2 pitch, and he hits a high fly ball, deep left field, back to the wall, and it's gone! Austin Riley hitting them where it hurts, and the Braves take the lead in the eighth.

Man alive, the crowd there in Atlanta just waiting to erupt, similar to the Braves bats. So they have the one-run lead, we know what the Phillies are capable of though, and it sets up this fantastic, almost unbelievable ending from the category of you can't make this stuff up. Bryce Harper gets on base via a walk. So we're talking top of the ninth now, and after J.T. Realmuto, I think he flied out to center field.

Goodness. It's a double play like you've never seen in your life! Two balls, two strikes, one down. Iglesias, looking into his catcher, ready to fire, 2-2. In the air out towards right center field, Harris going to go back, Harris back to the warning track, he leaves, Michaels got it! He's got it! They fire it in, and it rolls across the infield, taken by Riley, he throws to the bag!

They double him off! Ball game over! Braves win! I've never seen a play like that! Braves even up the series! It was back to the wall, Harris went to the wall, Harper took off, he made a leaping catch on the wall, fired it in, it rolled past Halby's, backing up the play was Riley, he secured it through to the bag, doubled off Harper, and the Braves even up the series! Braves double play you're ever going to see! What a catch by Michael Harris! The call there on Braves radio, and yes in fact it was history. People keep tracking these things you know. It's your baseball postseason, your October nerd alert!

First, can you track it with me? Eight, center fielder Michael Harris, five, eight, five, three, double play. Eight, five, three, it's never happened before in the postseason. There's been a double play that starts in center field and goes eight, five, three.

Which means center field, second base, no center field, yeah center field, third base, and then first base. And Bryce Harper, he was at least ten feet past the bag. He rounded it flying like nobody's business, maybe attempting to score, right? Thinking he's going to tie the game up if he can get a good jump and get around second base, the ball going deep out to center field, maybe assuming it's banging off the wall, well obviously assuming it's banging off the wall, not necessarily a home run. And so he goes ten feet past second base and then realizes Harris caught it and has to turn around and of course he can't go as the crow flies back to first base. He has to round second and try to get back to first and there was no way. Yeah, Harper was, not only was he way past second base, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, maybe it wasn't ten feet, but he was at least six feet past the bag.

Not only does he have to turn around and make up the distance, but his momentum is going the opposite direction, has to slam on the brakes and turn around. One heck of a play. And actually it's kind of funny because Ozzy Albies, he tried to scoop up the throw coming in from Harris and actually whiffed on it, couldn't get it.

So that's where the third baseman Austin Riley comes in because he has to back him up and so he's there, he grabs the ball, and he's able to double up Harper. If you haven't seen it, it's insane. And it's insane because it's happening in Atlanta. One more nerd alert for October just because it was history. Apparently there's never been a double play involving an outfielder to end a game in baseball postseason history. Never before. No 8-5-3s, it's like a phone number, no 8-5-3s and no outfielder who's ever been involved in a game-ending double play. Not in October.

Again, someone keeps track of these things. That's insane to me. It is insane. Fielders never caught a fly ball and gotten a runner at home trying to score the tying run. Not to end a game, I know.

Historic game two. Bryce Harper, what was going through your mind? I probably shouldn't have gone over second base. But made a decision and I'll live with that. Just taking a chance. Michael made a great play and doubled me up.

Tough way to end it. Usually you don't pass the base. You stay in front of it and make sure it's not caught. But he thought the ball was clearly over his head. Didn't think he was going to catch it. Harris made a heck of a play.

Unbelievable. He tried to get back and slipped. Usually you stay in front of second base. Jay, would you have gone?

That's a tough one. Because you've got to be aggressive. If you don't break when that ball is hit and you don't have faith.

Clearly, Michael Harris made a leaping grab. Almost up against the fence. I was a really aggressive base runner when I played. I probably would have done the same thing. I might have been all the way to third by the time that happened.

Considering that a softball diamond is smaller. I might have been on my horse all the way to third. I absolutely am getting doubled off.

I know it's a bit of taboo. But I don't blame Bryce Harper at all for this one. I would have done the same thing.

I actually love the aggressiveness there. Because if he's trying to tie that game right there right now. This is the post season. So I get if he caught out or he gets the second. Still two outs.

He's trying to tie that game right in that moment. I love it actually. I do. I know it didn't work out. But I love the idea. It didn't work out.

But let's just say for the sake of argument. Harris doesn't get to the ball. Maybe he gets a glove on it.

It falls. He's clearly scoring. He scores tie game.

And that's the tie game. And if he's not running full speed like that. And Harris doesn't catch the ball. He's not scoring. He's probably got to stop at third. So he's taking that gamble like the Phillies radio said.

He lost the gamble. But hey. I love the aggressiveness. I really do. I can't fault him. Because I would have done the same thing. Same. Now I wonder. I have to go back and watch. Or I guess I could find it.

I could try to find it on social or in the game cap. Whether or not he ran through a stop sign. Yeah. Well I guess there wouldn't be a stop sign there right?

Because he wouldn't have come around third. Aren't you supposed to be looking though? You're supposed to be.

Yeah. Because you know. Halfway down. He'll tell you if he's caught it yet or not. And he'll tell you whether or not to go or stay. But generally if you're on first base.

You can see what's happening out there. Although I guess by the time he rounds second. His back is to Michael Harris and his back is to the wall. So he's having to pay attention. But yeah. That's the whole point is he probably shouldn't have been there.

This convention says you don't go there. But I'm. Yeah. I can't fault him. It's like we're saying he's busting his ass.

Because he knows. Busting his ass. He knows that he has to do that to score that run. If that ball is dropped. If that ball gets down. He's scoring that run. If he's not busting his ass like that and that ball gets down.

He's not scoring. So. And then he gets yelled at for that. So he's just trying to tie the game right there right then. If the Phillies lose.

So let's just say for the sake of argument. That ball drops. Yep. Harper gets to third. Because he would have been to third. Right.

Maybe. I guess he would have been to third. He gets to third. I.

Because it's a center field ball. I don't know whether or not Nick gets to second. But either way. Yeah.

I mean then you've got an open base. There's a chance for a double play there. See. Yeah. If he gets left on third and they don't score and don't tie the game. It's every.

It's Harper had a bad read on the ball. Yeah. So.

I think I'd rather go down being aggressive. Especially when you're playing from a position of strength because the Phillies already had the one win. It's the playoffs. Let's go for the win now. And that was it.

I don't know. Good for you Bryce Harper. Jay and I are on your side.

Maybe nobody else is. It'd be interesting to hear the reaction from Philadelphia sports radio today about Bryce Harper and whether or not they're on board with him going like that. And yes again. Convention says you stop before you get to second base and you wait. But fifth inning. Sixth inning. I don't love it. Ninth inning right there.

That moment. I don't mind it. Yeah. Alright.

We're on board. This is the Phillies version of the call because it's a little bit different. And of course we've got to get to Monday Night Football. Packers and Raiders and Jordan Love is not Aaron Rodgers.

At least not this year. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. That's just mean. CBS sports radio.

After hours podcast five, four in the night, two outs left to work with at the bell long hold. Now the two, two swing and a fly ball right center field. It's Steve Harris going back to the track near the wall. He will jump and he makes the catch. Harper's around second, has to double back through the infield. He'll slide into first. He's out. It was Austin Riley who took the throw from Michael Harris and he throws out Bryce Harper who took a gamble and lost and so have the Phillies.

We just seen the slow mo here. I didn't know that he went to pass second. So I threw it in and it was a moment where I was like, Oh, cause he could have made it back.

Then, then, uh, I'll be swift on it. And I guess Riley was right there in the right spot to make the throw, made an incredible throw and got him out. This is after hours with Amy Lawrence, Michael Harris said it was all happening in slow mo. He didn't even realize that Bryce Harper was past second base.

And he actually uses the same word I use. And if you watch Ozzie, he does kind of whiff on it and he goes for the ball and miss misses it. But it's not like Harris was attempting to make the throw back in to catch Harper because he didn't realize it. So also a heads up play for Austin Riley, who's backing up, which is the little league thing to do, right? You're supposed to back up in particular positions based on where you play on the field.

Almost every guy has someone he's responsible for backing up or an area he's responsible for backing up. And Austin Riley did not forget in the excitement and the tension of that moment, he went to back up and was there, right place, right time and heads up throw then to first base. And they didn't double Harper off by much. I mean, they got him by a step or two because he had gotten back on his horse to try to race around second again. By the time Riley got the ball, it was going to be a close call, but they did get him at first. The call there on Philly's radio with Scott Fransky.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. Travis Darnell is the one who smacked the home run in the seventh inning off Wheeler, chased Wheeler at this point and put the Braves in position to rally all the way. But honestly, it kind of felt like it was happening anyway, right? You could feel that the Braves were coming back.

I don't know. Maybe it's me. I'm alone on my island. I was not at all surprised when the Braves completed the comeback. Every playoff wins exciting. I think the way it ended was one of the most exciting games, ending two games I've ever seen as far as the defensive standpoint, where you got Money Mike making a crazy catch on the wall and us doubling up Harper to close it out.

It was really emotional, especially the way we came back as one of my favorite post-season games ever. I didn't know he's going to run out of room. Then after he caught it, you know, it's kind of you go horse yelling. Great play by Austin. Great play by Michael, number one. But then the wherewithal of Austin to be continuing to watch the play and then make the big out.

Brian Snitker in front of what was clearly the replay that was taking place behind him of that magical moment for the Braves. So maybe this is the turning point of their postseason. I don't know this. They're going to encounter a raucous electric atmosphere. Not that they are unfamiliar with that. Phillies not either, though. They're not intimidated by being in front of Braves fans and the Braves will feel the exact same way.

Clearly the Diamondbacks have not at all nervous or intimidated by playing in L.A., a place where they're extremely familiar out of the stretch. The pitch and a shot to center hit it pretty well. Back at the warning track, back at the wall, but by Altman, a run will come in to score. That's Carol. And on to third base goes Marte and there's one away.

That's a stretch. Two-two pitch for Miller with runners at second and third, one out and a ground ball to short. That'll score a run. Marino's retired, but on the play, Marte scores from third base, two outs in the inning, but a two-nothing Diamondback lead and the pitch on the way to Gurriel and a shot to center base hit. Three-nothing Diamondbacks as Pham comes in to score and the Diamondbacks' bats are still alive and well here at Dodger Stadium tonight. First against Clayton Kershaw with what was 70 runs in the first inning of the opener and then against Bobby Miller who's starting game two and the Diamondbacks put up a three spot in that opener. Really impressive and this time it wasn't by way of the home run. It was a sac fly which meant they had a lot of traffic on the bases, right? A ground out and an RBI single just chopping wood to get those three runs in the first inning and yet same result.

The Diamondbacks never trail in game number two. Their pitching staff has held up Zach Gallin, got into the sixth inning, gave up just a couple of runs and the bullpen scoreless the rest of the way. Of course, it was dicey in the sixth inning. Dodgers had the bases loaded, couldn't bring anybody around. They end up leaving seven on base, but this is not something that you hear about the Dodgers a lot.

One for six with runners in scoring position just could not capitalize on the opportunities that they had. Diamondbacks now have the big bad brother in an 0-2 hole heading back to Phoenix and they're sold out for Wednesday's game. Last time Diamondbacks were in the playoffs was 17 and they got swept by the Dodgers so this would be critical. But also, I love the storyline or kind of the dynamic where just like last year you have wildcards out of the NL West and the NL East with two juggernauts and they've been perennial juggernauts now for what feels like a decade, give or take.

The Braves, the Dodgers. I told you going back six weeks ago, I was worried about these two teams because they weren't going to be pushed, they weren't going to play a must-win game, they weren't going to play a game that mattered over the final six weeks of the regular season. Each of them had a 13-14 game lead in their division standings so there was no way a challenger was going to get anywhere close.

Not even within shouting distance of these division titles. So the Braves wait until the very last second in game number two before they're able to find that rhythm and it's not really rhythm, it's just you gotta break through. These are human beings still, right, and I'm sure there was some tension, there were some nerves when they're getting no hit into the sixth inning on their own field.

And as for the Dodgers, they got punched in the face twice and their pitching obviously left a lot to be desired. Now you break it down, you put it in the context of they have to win three games in a row. Okay, can the Dodgers do that?

Of course they can. But they haven't played a game like this that mattered in a year. There's no real pressure for them to win the division title in August. I mean, when was the last time they faced a situation where their backs were against the wall?

It would have been a year ago. So it's not so much the layoff, it's not so much the wading through the wildcard stretch, it's about the Dodgers. Now granted, these are veterans, so are the Braves.

But sometimes it takes a minute to get comfortable being uncomfortable again. The pressure cooker of the playoffs. Just the fact that, yeah, they've been lollygagging around for six weeks, having a good time, dancing, celebrating, sure we know we're headed to the playoffs. Meanwhile the Diamondbacks, they lost their last four of the regular season.

They have to fight Scratch Claw for all their real estate to make it as a wildcard. Phillies didn't have to wait until the last weekend of the regular season, but like the Rangers for instance, they lose their division title on the last day. They were battling the Astros and Mariners all the way through. There's something to be said for being comfortable on the edge.

On the edge of a cliff, where if you don't take care of your business, well that's it, you're done. And neither the Dodgers nor the Braves have had that. I was going to say in weeks, but it's really not true, because there's no pressure in August to win a division title. Nah, they haven't faced this kind of pressure, this kind of angst, this kind of tension in a year. So we'll see whether or not they can keep it rolling in the case of the Braves or the Dodgers find it. I mean some of these guys do perform their best under pressure, that's true, but it's a different feel.

They haven't felt it in 12 months. On Twitter, ALawRadio, you can vote for the TD of the Week, we'll give you those candidates coming back. Also Jordan Love, well he's not imitating Aaron Rodgers just yet. Interceptions playing a role, turnovers playing a role, and gosh, you gotta love it when the narrative around a particular coach or a player happens to be kind of down, it's all down, it's all critical, it's all negative, and then a game like this can give you some evidence until the end and it just doesn't fit anymore.

Oh dang it, that doesn't go along with my argument. No Josh McDaniels is not getting fired yet, it's After Hours with Amy Lawrence, here's our latest sports update.

Yes they will. Russell Wilson being chased, he'll be sacked, the ball pops out, he's on the far side, it's scooped up, Bryce Hall runs down the right sideline at the ten, five, touchdown. The San Francisco 49ers. There's an end around and a flea flicker back to Brock Purdy takes a shot down the sideline to George Kittle, Kittle all the way to the end zone, touchdown San Francisco. With a little razzle dazzle reverse flea flicker, they flip it to McCaffrey, he flips it back to Deebo, Deebo flips it to Purdy and Purdy drops it to George Kittle down the sideline. The Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers down two, trying to get in the least field goal range, here's a shotgun snap, blitz, he's back, he throws it down the nearest sideline, Pickens has it, Pittsburgh Steelers kick now, Pickens to Pickens, 41 yards and you have to be here. That's as sweet as my aunt Nellie's blueberry pie baby, what a hit by that, my goodness, that's just sensational, I can't even believe that I just saw what I saw, I saw it and I don't believe it, oh man. Yes, blueberry pie is tasty, but at this time of the year I'm thinking pumpkin s'mores, it's a specialty, out of my kitchen, yeah they are sweet and they are holiday accessible, I'm gonna have to make some, ooh that sounds delicious right now for breakfast maybe, it's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio, your candidates for TDO The Week, so you can vote on Twitter After Hours, CBS or on my Twitter, we'll run through tomorrow night and we've got Jaguars on Westwood One with JP Shadrick, Travis ETN, couple of touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Buffalo and really they had an answer for everything the Bills tried to do, Jets, not Bryce Hall, but Bryce Hall with oh the perfect scoop and score, it's not often that the football bounces up to you in full stride, but that happened after Quincy Williams stripped Russell Wilson with one hand, just insulting, and Bryce Hall then grabs it as it's about to bounce out of bounds, it just, it leaps into his arms, the football leapt into his arms, Bob was using on Jets Radio, George Kittle with three touchdowns, a play that many of you have pointed out was also executed to perfection by the Lions earlier in the day and so now we have people who are accusing us of Lions bias because we're using the Kittle razzle dazzle trick play, the Niners on Sunday Night Football instead of the Lions.

And that's fine. What did he say? Guys will be getting head spinning, heads will be spinning?

It's gonna be chaotic, guys are gonna be, their heads gonna be spinning. Honestly it feels like the game winner is picket to pickens, how many times did you hear that over the weekend? Bill Hilgrove and company on Steelers Radio happens in the late stages where a 41 yard strike gives the Steelers the edge over the Ravens in what was the best game of the weekend. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS Sports Radio, yeah yeah Jimmy Garoppolo can't stay healthy, throws too many interceptions, Josh McDaniels sucks at his job and actually sometimes he does, I'm not a huge fan of Josh McDaniels but even though Jimmy Garoppolo now leads the NFL with seven interceptions and even though Josh Jacobs is still kind of finding his stride and even though the Packers seem to have more fans at Allegiant Stadium than did the Raiders, you could hear the chants of Go Pack Go, is that, speaking of insulting, that has got to be disconcerting on your own field and visiting fans are yelling their own chants and cheers? Oh I'd have a fit. I could never. I would go to the ticket office and say don't you dare sell enough tickets that we're gonna get Go Pack Go chants. It's just wrong. It's bothering me thinking about it.

It is, it's just wrong. So there was some razzle dazzle there as well, 77 yard connection between Jordan Love and Christian Watson and blah blah blah but what you most need to know is that Josh Jacobs gets into the end zone, 75 yard drive, fourth quarter, Packers still have plenty of time and they've got chants of Go Pack Go except that Jordan Love and the Packers offense did nothing the rest of the way, an interception, a three and out and then oh your last chance. Taylor to the right of Love, two receivers each way, shotgun snap, three step drop, eyeing the middle, pressure up the middle, Love out of the pocket, throws downfield for the end zone, intercepted! Amik Robertson in the back corner, picks it off in front of Watson and the Raiders defense just seals the victory here in Vegas. Once I kind of stepped up in the pocket I just kind of saw Christian, I felt like he had the DB beat by a little bit, you know, thought we could make a play, took a win right there in the end zone, kind of just under threw it, didn't get enough on it, didn't get it out there enough and the DB made a good play. Jordan Love explaining what he saw on that last interception in the end zone, yeah Christian Watson definitely had Robertson beat but if you've not seen the leaping interception by Amik Robertson go do it because here's my question Jay, what's more impressive, Michael Harris on a gallop, against the wall, robbing the Phillies of what was probably an RBI double, at least that's what Bryce Harper thought, or is it Amik Robertson, I don't know if he's taller than Watson, they might be about the same height, but he got ups, it was like he was doing one of those combine drills where you're just jumping stationary up to smack the, what are those called, the arms, smack the, I know what you mean, okay, we clearly have never done it. Which one was more impressive? Gosh, that's tough, I might have to go with Robinson.

The Harris though, I mean just for the fact of the moment that it was, I'll go with the Harris. Okay, alright, on the playoff stage, Michael Harris, you win, so yes, Jason Horowitz on Raiders radio, that's what Jordan Love was looking at, the defense comes through, not only with three interceptions of Love but also holding them to one for three in the red zone, man they were on the four yard line and couldn't get into the end zone, so yeah, way to go Raiders, can't fire Josh McDaniel just yet. His heroics made us swoon this weekend, I'm the best ever, I am the greatest, now it's time to name the after hours Monday MVP, Burrow in the gun, he catches at the eight, he fakes to mix him, now rolling to the right, backpedaling to the 13, throw, caught, Jamar Chase on the back line of the end zone with his third touchdown catch as he sets a new Bengals record with his 14th catch of the game. And before he was done, it was 15 catches, yes a franchise record for Jamar Chase and what did he tell us the week before, I'm always bleeping open, oh alright, so it was just on Joe Burrow then to find you, all three of Burrow's touchdowns go to Jamar Chase, that connection is alive and well, nearly 200 yards of receiving three scores and the Bengals are awake, like the Braves, the Braves are awake, it is, it's National League tonight right, no it's American League tonight, okay fine, we'll talk about it whatever, it's After Hours with Amy Lawrence, CBS Sports Radio, boom.
