“I got a T-Rex skull, yes,” laughed Johnson.
“That’s Stan. So really Stan is the most complete T-Rex skull ever that a paleontologist – a young paleontologist – and his name was Stan, so this T-Rex head was named after him.
“Very nice and badass isn’t it?”
Eli Manning replied: “I love it. I do.”

Earlier in the second quarter, Johnson inadvertently provided a moment of comedic brilliance after Eli Manning asked how he would activate an injured Cardinals team – trailing 14-0 on third and seven.
No stranger to motivational speech, Johnson made an encouraging talk as players lined up for the snap.
“Listen, you’ve got a shot here, you’ve got a chance — you’ve got to scratch, claw, fight, bite, kick through everything,” Johnson said.
“It’s a back to the wall philosophy and when your back is to the wall every moment in life you have a place to go and that’s forward.”
Within seconds of Johnson adding “Let’s Go” to his provocative rally, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray – under pressure in linebacker Troy Reeder’s end field – proceeded to throw a calamitous interception for a pick-six, causing the Rams to Lead expanded. 20-0.
As the Manning brothers sat stunned, Johnson began to quell their sorrows by drinking from a bottle of tequila.
“I blame it on the encouraging thing,” laughed Eli Manning.
Johnson left the broadcast at the end of the second quarter, although Eli Manning had earlier thanked him for introducing him to a new nickname: ‘Human Carbon Monoxide’, the silent killer.
The Cardinals eventually came on the scoreboard in the second half, but were still outsold in the closing quarter as they lost 34–11.
The Rams will face Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round on Sunday.
