January 11, 2023·1h 25m

On the twenty-first episode of New Heights, Jason and Travis react to some of your incredible fan art (01:35) and we answer another of your not-dumb questions, "Which animal could actually play on a football team?" (08:03) 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. (17:24) Travis breaks down how the Chiefs "Ring Around the Rosie" play actually happened against the Raiders (26:15) and shares some of his favorite stories of his decade with Coach Reid (32:12). Jason gives us a look into what it was like having Jalen "The System" Hurts back in the huddle (41:58) and how this Eagles record-setting offense took flight this season (44:48). 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 (50:30), to Lovie Smith going out winning (53:57), the Lions upsetting the Packers (57:30), and why we don't see college coaches succeed in the NFL (01:00:54). 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! (01:06:05) Categories include; the New Best Friend Awards, Stat line of the Year, The Shit We Didn't See Coming, and more!
