    Gotta love having a well-prepared reporter at the Bucs' press conference:

    What's hilarious is the long lead-in to the question...obviously put a lot of thought into it.

    I don't know how the NFL Honors show works, whether it only takes the regular season into account, but you'd have to give Comeback Player of the Year to Baker Mayfield right? Talk about a journey - from no. 1 pick to the Panthers, to the Rams to now leading the Bucs to a playoff win? Flacco may be a strong contender if they don't count the playoffs. Saw Damar Hamlin is the sentimental favorite (actual favorite too) though he only registered two tackles all year. Not sure if he is generally a "fringe" player (or was prior to the heart attack) or the Bills are just worried about something else happening.

    I'm sticking with at least two of the big underdogs winning outright and Buffalo, a Kadarius Toney not being a complete idiot play away from being knocked out of the playoff race in early December, being the Super Bowl favorite going into the final four. Been that kind of season.

    Sounded like a fair question. Doesn’t Briggs Stadium get cold this time of year?

    Apparently the Detroit question came from a news reporter filling in as a sports person at a TV station that had eliminated its entire sports department.

    Not that it matters but it was a news side female reporter.

    It was widely reported to be a female reporter who seems obsessed with weather as a major factor,up to the point of it being "chilly" at indoor dome games at places like Minnesota and Detroit.

    Hey, roofs can malfunction (right, Minnesota?). The truly great teams are prepared for every possibility.

    His expression after he reminded her that "they play in a dome" ...
