The Big Al & CJ Podcast takes a deep dive into what’s truly at stake for quarterbacks when the playoffs arrive, both in the NFL and the College Football Playoff. Big Al and CJ explore how postseason football shapes legacies, careers, and franchises, and why January and CFP games often define how quarterbacks are remembered long after the final whistle.

From pressure moments to perception, the conversation centers on how quickly narratives can change when the games matter most. The discussion then shifts to the Denver Broncos’ playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with a close look at what this game represents for Denver and how the quarterback position sits at the center of it all.

Former Bronco Chad Brown and longtime Broncos reporter Brandon Krisztal join the show to provide insight into the challenge Buffalo presents, the lessons from last year’s playoff loss in Buffalo, and how the Broncos can approach this postseason moment differently. The episode blends big-picture quarterback stakes with sharp analysis of Broncos vs. Bills, delivering context, perspective, and playoff-level urgency throughout.
