I told you the ESPN+ stream for Titans-Ravens Wild Card Weekend was going to be good.
ICYMI: Mina Kimes was featured in the ESPN+ watch-along stream for Titans-Ravens with Laura Rutledge, Dan Orlovsky, and Marcus Spears, along with Doug Kezirian, Joe Fortenbaugh, and Tyler Fulgham from Vegas. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than the booth broadcast – Lots of insight and chatter to keep the game lively, along with some real-time insight on the moving lines from the ESPN NFL Live and Daily Wager broadcast crew.
When Titans coach Mike Vrabel elected to punt on 4th-and-2 from the opponent 40 while trailing in the 4th quarter, Kimes reacted how all NFL fans reacted:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
The result is an instant new Kimes meme.
Don’t sleep on these ESPN megacasts on ESPN+, folks.

They didn't question Tennessee's decision to punt on 4th and 2 at all on the main broadcast.
On the ESPN+ broadcast, everybody in the room yelled WHAT!??!?!, Laura Rutledge quickly explained the analytics on why they should have gone for it, and @minakimes made this expression pic.twitter.com/TOKu5q6THE— Rodger Sherman (@rodger) January 10, 2021

Speaking of that disastrous call, here’s Mike Vrabel explaining the move.
We all make mistakes and miss opportunities, Mike. But that one is going to be mocked for a very long time.
