In The Pocket: The greatness of Patrick Mahomes, the importance of playoff experience, and the shock of Ben Johnson remaining in Detroit

About this episode

<p>Ben Johnson surprised most the football world on Tuesday by deciding to remain with the Lions as their offensive coordinator for at least one more season. And he helpfully did so just moments before Robert Mays and Chase Daniel began recording this week's episode of The Athletic Football Show's In the Pocket. The guys discuss the ripple effects of that decision, the greatness of Patrick Mahomes, the importance of playoff experience, and how the Chiefs were able to completely shut down Lamar Jackson in the AFC Championship Game.</p><p>Follow Robert on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/a5412d28-06f1-11ed-950a-03d77e66f349/twitter.com/robertmays">@robertmays</a></p><p>Follow Chase on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/7b1df3ee-4d9c-11ee-a13c-f7e9fcf7e154/twitter.com/ChaseDaniel">@ChaseDaniel</a></p><p>Subscribe to The Athletic Football Show...</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/id1528622068">Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://spoti.fi/3waggUU">Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gWjMSDj7-8j3iCc2ZGo3g">YouTube</a></p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
