Chiefs Trick Play Explained, Playoff Seeding & Introducing ‘The Newsies’ | New Heights | Ep 21
On the twenty-first episode of New Heights, Jason and Travis react to some of your incredible fan art and we answer another of your not-dumb questions, “Which animal could actually play on a football team?”
We react to both the Eagles and the Chiefs clinching the #1 seeds in the playoffs and how the playoff bye week impacts players physically and mentally.
Travis breaks down how the Chiefs “Ring Around the Rosie” play actually happened against the Raiders and shares some of his favorite stories of his decade with Coach Reid.
Jason gives us a look into what it was like having Jalen “The System” Hurts back in the huddle and how this Eagles record-setting offense took flight this season.
The guys look at some of the wildest storylines from Week 18 in the NFL from the electric opening kickoff return in the Bills game, to Lovie Smith going out winning, the Lions upsetting the Packers, and why we don’t see college coaches succeed in the NFL.
And finally, since we don’t have a Chiefs or Eagles game to preview, we thought we would take a look back on the NFL regular season and hand out the first-ever New Heights Awards, The Newsies! Categories include; the New Best Friend Awards, Stat line of the Year, The Shit We Didn’t See Coming, and more!
Lastly, we need your help deciding our New Heights Stamp of the year so hit us up on social media @NewHeightShow or email us at [email protected] with your submissions.
