Jason needs to give himself more credit. He did a great job hosting the Taylor episode. I have a 14yo Swiftie in my home who said so and she rarely praises anyone related to football.

Travis is such an Ohioan, mad respect. I really like how he doesn't really care about his individual accomplishments even when they're winning. He's all about the team

As a Broncos fan for 40 years I can say I loved that game, however, I also love greatness. Congratulations Travis on one helluva milestone.
