J.B. Long

That was a cool snippet. Thanks for reminding me to be on the lookout for the full NFL Films mic’d up. Always an incredible watch.

Myles Garrett should be the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year. @jblong.bsky.social and I talked about his dominant season and why his historic sack production was fully earned.

…He’s the common link in 3-4 of the greatest receiving seasons of all time. And yet never got MVP buzz before.
This year he did because his play was nearly impeccable AND he brought so many secondary targets (and the league’s best run game) along with him.

Whoa whoa whoa. Thanks for the feedback but NEVER would I say Matthew made any of these guys. Including & especially Calvin.
I was asked how to reconcile his better supporting cast. And my off the cuff response is he’s elevated fantastic talent before (Megatron. Kupp.) to record-setting seasons.

Had a blast chatting with my friend @jblong.bsky.social about the NFL MVP debate and the other major awards

Matthew Stafford is 5,033 days (nearly 14 years) older than Caleb Williams. Biggest age gap between 1.1s in NFL playoff history.

Sean McVay & Ben Johnson were born shortly after the Rams and Bears last met in the playoffs.

One way to frame Sunday's challenge:

The Rams are trying to win in Chicago for the first time since Calvin Johnson proved to be a better football player than Sean McVay.

Yards per route run this season (per NGS)
1. Puka Nacua (3.8)
2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3.7)
3. Luther Burden III (2.7)

Separation from the top two is staggering. Conditions will make Sunday memorable, but also wouldn't mind seeing these LA/CHI offenses in climate control.

Consecutive playoff games with multiple passing touchdowns, NFL history:

9 - Aaron Rodgers (2016-21)
8 - Matthew Stafford (current)
8 - Joe Flacco (2012-15)

2 Super Bowls & 2 other league championships. 5 NFC titles? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Matthew Stafford in Rams postseason history:

Completions - 1st
Passing Yards - 1st
Passing Touchdowns - 1st
Wins - 1st

Not bad, less than five full seasons in LA.

Rams season reads like a MadLib:
Recruited a Hall of Famer from Japan. Stuck the QB in an Ammortal Chamber. Embraced 13-personnel at Camden Yards. Thiccer Kicker came to the rescue along with a former St. Louis long-snapper.

Only a fool would preview the Wild Card.

Where was the pivotal moment in the Rams 2025 season? That defining inflection point where they became Super Bowl contenders and set a course for a 12-win campaign?

Week 6 in Baltimore, or maybe Camden Yards? Puka Nacua was at the center of it…kinda.
