Episode Notes

Rich weighs in on the Houston Texans’ stout defense shutting down Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers in their Wild Card showdown in what could be the 4-time NFL MVP’s final game along with Mike Tomlin’s last time coaching for Pittsburgh.

ESPN’s Alex Smith and Rich discuss Aaron Rodgers’ NFL future, if the Texans’ defense can take them to a championship, if he’s sticking with his pre-season Los Angeles Rams vs Houston Super Bowl prediction, tells Michigan alum Rich what the Wolverines can expect from his former Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, and discusses his long road to recovery from a devastating broken leg that nearly ended his career.
