He talked about getting a chance to do it after the game didn't score a touchdown during the game, had a big day for the Vikings, statistically talked to him. He told me he would have gone in if he scored. Oh, absolutely. He said he got a good cheer from the fans when he went out in the field and felt like he had enough love that even as an opposing team, you've been accepted in a Lambo leap. And there was a lot of purple in that stadium. Yeah, there was. So you can find a spot where you're not going to be thrown back. Yes. Yes, definitely. It's kind of fans where Green Bay, with all due respect, it's a little different jumping into that crowd rather than jumping into Philadelphia or maybe Chicago or the New York Jets or something like that. I mean, that could be a dangerous proposition as part of the opposing team. Green Bay, I feel like they're kind of respectful up there for the most part. I still think there've been some beers poured on guys. That's not the worst. Yeah, right. That's true. Worst can happen. There's all sorts of things you can get grabbed when you jump up in there. There's no doubt. I'm sure it's happened before. Yes, exactly. Well, the Vikings pulled off the victory, although they did try to blow it up 28-0. And as I said yesterday, as you were needling me as the Packers were coming back, this is why I didn't say a freaking word when it was 28-0. Right before halftime, Jalen Neighbors tries to field the punt with his hands over his head. Oh, you can tell you he couldn't see it at all. What in the hell is going on here? Packers set up the short field, scored the touchdown just before halftime. And it's 28-7, has a different vibe. They hang around. They hang around, strip sack, all of a sudden it's 28-22. He starts to blow the game, he skipped all the great parts of the football team and then right into Dr. Doom, where it got a little shaky. He didn't want to tell you that they started off on fire and were dominating as Sam Darnold wouldn't miss a throw. And they were causing turnovers and it was 28-0 and all this good stuff. But yeah, the Green Bay did make it come back. There's lots to talk about. Where's the grown up in the room with the Packers that tells Jordan Love you're already to play? That's the biggest concern I have if I'm Green Bay because Malik Willis was getting it done. And I know the window we reported back on the Sunday of week one after the MRI was done following the Friday night knee injury in Brazil, week 4, week 5, week 6 with the target for Jordan Love. Yeah. And we saw week 2. Oh, he was questionable. And then they downgraded and doubtful and they activate Sean Clifford in the play. The next week, he got a little closer. This week, no activation of Clifford Love's coming back. There was talk of a potential Malik Willis package. I just -- and Jason Garrett said this yesterday on a couple of occasions, one of his big regrets from when he was coaching was putting a guy back on the field before he was ready. Like at what point does somebody in that organization have to say, "Whoa, well, first of all, Malik, this isn't a Justin Fields Russell Wilson thing." Right. You're not losing your job to Malik Willis. No, you're not. But when you're healthy, you will be back. Right. We're not going to -- oh, let's give it one more week with Malik Willis. The only reason we give it one more week is we want you to be healthy and we want you to play healthily and we want the team to win. Yeah. And clearly -- now, maybe as you got later into the game, you got a little more comfortable. Yeah. But early on, he was not the same guy. No, 100%. And, you know, I think your point, what Jason Garrett said, it is something to think about a little bit. It's not -- and what's tough is he is their guy. And he is getting 55 million a year. So -- and he's sitting there watching Malik Willis look kind of good the last two weeks and he's going, "Damn, I need to get out there. I don't like this. I don't even care how secure you are." When you see the backup quarterback doing some things that's opening up everybody else's eyes, you start to go, "Damn, I need to get out there. I don't want people to think this guy is too good." Right? But they were down 28-0 to your point, Mike, because of Jordan Love. Jordan Love was off of his game. That was a bad interception. The first one we showed was a bad interception. And these are just the interceptions. These aren't the missed throws either. The first drive he had people open, he missed a wide open and receiver and a third down. Then they missed the field goal. He was off target. He was definitely rusty and not himself. And, you know, because of that, they got in a hole early on until he did get a go and started to make some plays. But it was too little too late. And then he threw a bad interception late in the game. Six minutes left. They got three time outs. His first down. And he throws that jump ball and he ends on the Byron Murphy Junior gets. And that just was not the appropriate time to throw that ball or go desperation like that. So he's a damn good player, but he was not damn good yesterday. He was not. And yeah, it certainly makes you a question. Maybe you should have, they have gotten the lead goal is one more week and let Jordan Love practice. Again, he's not going to lose his job. And I understand the urgency and wanted to come back. But that's where it takes Matt LaFlore, the head coach, Brian Goode, who's the GM. All the way up to Mark Murphy, the CEO, somebody's got to sit him down and say, Jordan, this is not in your best interest. This is not in our best interest. Right. Let's give it one more week. Yeah. When you come back. Yeah. 100%. Exactly. Because you come back and you get number one, you put yourself at risk of reentry. But number two, you come back and you put a bad game out. Definitely. And they got in the hole and they didn't get to play the way they want to play. What's the, they've been so great at, right? Just run the football. Yeah, the game was like, oh, oh shit, we're down 28 nothing. We can't run the ball anymore. So they never got to do that. And that, to me, is the best way to combat the Brian Flores awesome defense that they do in Minnesota. You want to calm them down and stop him getting so crazy. You start running the ball and pulling guards and gashing them that way. It'll calm them down a little bit, but they could never get the game to that point. So because of Jordan Love and him being rusty, it chopped off one of their, you know, one of their legs as far as one of their great strengths of their team, which is their own line and their run game. But I still got to give Sam Darnell and that offense and Mike and O'Connell a lot of credit and look, they built the lead and it was beautiful and there's still a lot of football to be played and you got to hold the lead two things. Yeah. Something that's happened two times right this year so far because they should have won every game in this four game stretch. Handily. Yeah, you blew up the Texans. You should have probably blew out the 49ers. Right. It would have been twenty seven seven if Aaron Jones doesn't get the ball punched out by Fred Ward at the goal line, right. And then that thing could go completely off the rails for the 49ers after that. But yesterday too. But here's what happened. Yeah. As the team that was down big starts to creep back into it, right. Sam Darnell leads a drive to get that score to turn a one score game and do a two score game. Yep. And they did that yesterday when it was twenty eight twenty two after the because it goes and this is the thing. Momentum. Seven points feels like a lot. It's just one point. So you're down four to one. Yeah. Now you're down four to two when they score a touchdown. Strip sack. Yeah. Then it's four to three. Right. Then it's close. And when they went for two and to make it twenty eight twenty two, it's just like they had all the momentum. Definitely. And you can feel it. You can feel it a thousand miles away. And what happened? All the momentum. And the Viking settled down. And what I said. He had a big pass to Jefferson. Well, I said just throw it to Jefferson Everett. This is a drive where you just settle it down and you throw it to Jefferson and he did and they got in field goal range. They didn't score a touchdown, but they got the field goal to make it thirty one twenty two. Right. And then just hold on after that. Yeah. Those drives. We saw it against the forty Niners when it was twenty one fourteen or twenty to fourteen I think. Right. And we saw it again yesterday to be able when you feel like everything is going the other team's way to settle down, take care of business and get it done. That to me is more encouraging than four and oh. Yeah. Give those moments. And how often do we see a team right just completely crater. He has staved off defeat twice now and they could be two and two. Yeah. Hey, listen, he's he's playing awesome. We just said it. I mean, he's right now in the MVP conversation. It's on the money. O'Connell. I have never seen an offensive play call or get more people open for fifteen and twenty yard completions in my life than Kevin O'Connell. It feels like Brady and the Patriots in their prime where you're just like, how is Amundola open for fifteen yards every time? Gromped down the middle twenty yards every like. That's what it feels like. It's incredible. It really is. And then of course he is taking advantage of every bit of that and you got Aaron Jones running the football and I'm going to say it. I mean right now and I know we got a long time to go, but you're you're definitely the best team in the NFC right now. Are you going to have where you're going to power rank them this week? They got to be in the top. They got to be way up there. See how I can defeat it. Yeah, I know. And they in the Minnesota Vikings, the Seahawks have had very favorable schedules so far. We hit on that BONIX first game, Jacobi Percette, two of the list Dolphins. I got questions still about Seattle even though it's been good. You guys have beat, you could say, three of the better teams in football. The forty-eight teams from last year. Exactly right. And I don't think the forty-nighters and Texans are going anywhere. I would expect them to maybe be in the final late again this year. So yeah, let's go, Dr. Doom. Top spot. Top spot. Look at this. It's not a handle of success. The Lions are still better I think. They haven't played the Lions yet. I think the Lions are better. They may be of a better roster. They're not playing better football than you guys right now. I think that's what we could say. Well, and there will be urgency from the Lions when they get a chance at the Vikings. And I think it's coming up. Yeah. Thank you. We have a still shot of the earlier strike that from the tape. All right, let's move on to, and I'm getting some, I asked my writers for some suggestions on MVP candidates, we're going to have some more that get mentioned. We mentioned Baker Mayfield earlier. Yeah. Mayfield was incredible yesterday. Yes, he was. And the thing that impresses me about what the Buccaneers were able to do, completely forget about week three. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to have those moments. And as you've said in the past, sometimes one of your top objectives is preventing one loss from becoming two. Right. You allow yourself to think, oh, well, maybe it's not our year. Oh, well, maybe it is a fluke. Oh, well, maybe we're not as good as we think we are. Right. That's when it can spiral out of control. And it was important because, hey, for the Eagles, if there's any game where they shouldn't have been embarrassed yesterday, it's going back to the place four weeks into the new season where you got embarrassed last year in the playoffs to the point where the owners sat there with a mask of bewilderment, rage, and complete and total confusion that almost got the coach fired. If you're ever going to have your shit together, if you're the Eagles, it's that game. And the Buccaneers still took it to them. There was that point early on where they showed the yardage, like bucks, two 55 Eagles goose. Zero. Unbelievable. Yes. I mean, Jason Garrett said, I've never seen anything like that in my life late in the second quarter, right? And it was like it was late in the second quarter and we were going, wait, did the Eagles get a first down? Finally? I know they had injuries yesterday. I get that. And they're big injuries. Certainly. AJ Brown and Devonti Smith, they're awesome. But the Eagles are still too good. And their defense was fine. That's what I mean. The Eagles are still too good to get their ass whooped and especially their defense. Exactly right. I don't know what to think of the Eagles. I really don't. I mean, it's a little all over the place. They're good is really good, but they're bad. It's shitty. I really want to say it. And they got week five off. I don't know that this is the way you want to go into your bi-week. That's all the more reason. Look, we got our bi-week coming up. We get to go back to the place where they beat us 32 to nine last year and ended our season. Yep. Let's go stick it to them. They're vulnerable. They lost to the Broncos. Beyond guard for the fact that they're going to try to have a bounce back. This all bodes poorly for Nick Siri on it. The performance of the team through four weeks, two and two. They were 10 and one last year, now they're two and two. This is not good for him beyond this year. No, it's not. I think what it almost looks like him in the manner of, I was talking about this a little bit with somebody else in football of, it's him to a degree. He's an emotional guy, right? It's peaks and valleys and they kind of look like that too. It's peaks and valleys. It is. But that's disappointing. I mean, Baker Mayfield was phenomenal and he absolutely tore them up. They've been a big down the field passing team and it looked like Philadelphia was playing deep zone cover just because they were worried about getting deep or getting beat deep. And Baker Mayfield just said, well, no, today that I'll throw the ball five and six and eight yards and Evans will turn it up for 10 and God will turn it up for 12. And that's what they did. They didn't really throw the ball down the field. If you watch and you'll see on these highlights here, it's a bunch of, you know, five, 10-yard throw, 12 yards here, eight yards here and they just chipped away with it. And then he had all day to throw the ball. I mean, the Eagles defense line that was so great last week against New Orleans, it's been a lot of time all of a sudden in Tampa Bay. I don't understand it. I'm shocked, right? And offensively, I know there was no Lane Johnson and Davante Smith and AJ Brown. But still, I mean, what about the other four all-stars on the offensive line? Yeah, we got Jalen Hurts. I mean, to lay an egg like that is just, that's incredible. And Jalen Hurts is definitely going to stop turning the ball over. He has an issue there right now and he's got to shake that because it's going to come back to bite them in the butt in a bad moment. The Baker Mayfield performance came in front of Tom Brady. Mayfield had the comments and the podcast about Brady and the stress that he put on the Buccaneers. The building was a little different with Tom in there. Mayfield had said, obviously, playing wise, Tom is different. He had everybody dialed in high-strung environment. So I think everybody was pretty stressed out. They wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the joy back to football for guys who weren't having as much fun. What Brady said yesterday when they came up, I thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. So there was a mindset of a champion I took to work every day. This wasn't daycare. If I wanted to have fun, I was going to go to Disneyland with my kids. Now, the one caveat to that, his last year in Tampa, he went to Disneyland with his kids. He disappeared during training camp. He went to a wedding on a Friday night and didn't join up with the team on Saturday. They traveled to Pittsburgh without him. They lost that game. So I think that, I think what happens is, and this is natural organizational dynamics, Tom Brady shows up in 2020 with that Bella check mindset and it worked. They want a Super Bowl, zero fun until we have our rings, our parade, and we're doing the weekend at Bernie's drunk walk back from the boats when they were throwing the trophy from boat to boat. 2021, they got to the division around. Same thing. But then in 22, once he's gotten the guys in that mindset, that's when he's, and I understand there were personal issues and I under, but from the perspective of the guys on the team, it's easy to resent him at that point. You put us through all that hell for 20 and 21 and now you're kind of checked out and where are we? I can still yell at us for not doing the right thing and all that, but yeah, I got you. I could see that set the stage for Mayfield walks through the door and all those players start unloading to him about what a pain in the ass time was. Sure. It all makes sense. It can all be true. That's okay. All of it. I mean, Tom Brady's right. I mean, yeah, he's not, it's not, he's not leading band camp. He's not there to be like everybody's best friend. He was tough. He was driving the team. There's no doubt about that. Does it wear on a team? Definitely. 2019 Patriots, right? Things weren't going good. They'll tell you, Tom was tough on the team. The players were kind of sick of Tom in that locker room. He was hard on the young receivers. It got the same way in Tampa. I mean, that's why he tried to get out of there and go to Miami. Yeah. He was trying to leave. He didn't like how it was going. So, and yes, he was yelling and hard on guys and whatever else. And yeah, I think it just, it got old there. And that's okay. That's what happens in Baker Mayfield gave them a fresh new energy. He retired. He unretired. And during that time, he was retired. He tried to go to Miami and the team mates are smart enough to know that. And then he comes back, he's gone from training camp for like 10 days. The whole Robert Crafts wedding on a Friday night doesn't fly back to Tampa. Because remember when it was happening, we're like, okay, well, I guess he can take a private jet to New York and attend the wedding and then take a jet back to Tampa and fly to Pittsburgh with the team the next day. You know, I'll meet you in Pittsburgh. Right. This is just one of those little things. And again, when a guy has, has brought that patriot way and shoved it down your throat for two years, retired, tried to go to Miami, unretired, and then he's being hypocritical for whatever the reason. No, no. Whatever the reason. That'll get the locker room to definitely be like. That will create resentment. 100%. And then when the new guy comes in, oh, thank God Baker's here. Baker's fun. Yeah. Baker's not trying to wear us out. Hey, Baker, listen to this. Let me tell you this story. That's, that's, I understand how this happened. NFL gossip. Yeah. Not about it. And it all can be true. And there's nothing wrong with Tom Brady being a jerk. It certainly served him well a little bit and we know that he's the ultimate commander. And yeah, it can wear people. You hear that everywhere. I mean, the Bulls were worn out by Michael Jordan. The Lakers were worn out by the damn head coach Pat Riley. I mean, it's, it's what happens with great people and great, you know, they, they were in Brady got worn out by Belichick. I mean, it's so that that it took 20 years, but he still did. He did. You know, we all find ourselves in situations where we can feel a little bit nervous. Sometimes for me, standing in a studio, the lights get a little hot. The anxiety runs a little high as I wonder whether or not the words are going to come out of my mouth the way that they are supposed to. When you get in a situation like that, you worry about sweating. Here's one way to take that worry off the table. Dove men plus care, whole body deodorant provides you all day care and odor protection wherever you need it most from your pits to your privates to your feet.

The Dove men Dio is aluminum free with vitamin E, paraben free and dermatologist tested to keep you feeling just as great as you smell pick up Dove men plus care whole body deodorants at your local Walmart. Right. Uh, Baker Mayfield was spectacular though. I love how he plays. I wonder if the Browns had stuck with him, what he would have done. There's an argument made that he never would have still gotten to this point that he needed that wake up call. He'd be better than to Sean Watson. I'm capable of saying that. I have no problem saying that now. We'll talk about the Browns coming up, but Mayfield is an MVP candidate. One guy we didn't mention yet, who's it really an MVP candidate. We think of him as offensive rookie of the year, but he could be MVP candidate too is Jaden Daniels. Yeah. And what a week he's had from Monday night against the Bengals, following it up yesterday with a shredding of the Cardinals. One of those pick the Cardinals. I can't remember who one of those man commanders. Okay. Now I remember. But 42 to 14. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Are you kidding me off the heels of Arizona going toe to toe with Detroit last week and blowing the Rams off the field before that so I'm going. I kind of like the Cardinals chances and yeah, like you said, like the jerk you are that I did pick them. Yes. I'm not calling me out on that. But I mean, Jaden Daniels, I can't say enough, right? I mean, I feel like every week right now on football night in America, it's like, hey, Chris, you're going to, we want you to break down Jaden Daniels and I'm like, okay, sure. But I mean, here's is one of this few mistakes of his career so far as far as interception, but he's just, he's got everything. I mean, yeah, we, again, we know this aspect, but, but it's this stuff. It's this calmness in the pocket, precision passing, not looking to run, moving the right way in the pocket. And then I think we're going to see more and more running, but balls in the tight windows knowing where to go to the ball. I think a great advantage he has is that the fact that he's in the same offense as college as he was in college, so he's very comfortable that way. And Washington's just better than what we thought. Is he awesome? Sure. Cliff Kingsbury has added more to his offense, which is exciting. And then the freaking commanders can run the ball. That's the other thing on top of it. So they give you some issues right now. Washington's been one of the pleasant surprises of football this year. Oh, it's unbelievable. It is. Jaden Daniels, setting records, only the second quarterback to have more than 200 rushing yards in his first four NFL games, almost caught and beat the record set by Robert Griffin the third 12 years ago, that makes commanders fans nervous because of what happened with RG3 at the end of the year. Look at this. It's 2.1% completion percentage, the best through four games of any season with a minimum of 40 attempts. That's incredible. There's the 218 rushing yards. They scored on 16 straight drives, excluding kneel downs. It's incredible. He's fun to watch. He's got a looseness. He's got a joy. And I keep thinking back to when we were in Indianapolis for the scouting compound, we're asking all those SEC defensive players, who's the toughest guy ever faced? And there was never hesitation. Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels. Jaden Daniels. Unbelievable. It translates immediately. It does. It translates. There's a lot of teams in football that had, you know, Jaden Daniels is the number one quarterback on their board. A lot of smart football people that I would trust. So that's what kind of football player we got here. But it's just the calm demeanor. He's got a little bit of that, you know, it's just what do you want to say? Joe Burrow, almost. I'll say that just because they both want the LSU where he just seems never affected by anything. He's got the natural smile too. He does. So where it's like, even when he's serious, it's kind of like a little happy grin to where like, I feel like the kids are going to jump on it and he says, he's got a pleasant look about it. There's no doubt. Phenomenal start. Unreal. And quite credit to Dan Quinn. Seriously. Defense flying around yesterday, making plays in that game. But man, Washington physically running the ball. Jaden Daniels dicing up in the past game and then Dan Quinn's defense flying around. That to me maybe was the surprise of the day that Washington whooped the Cardinals in that capacity. I think they're the best team in the division right now. They're playing the best football. There's no doubt about that. Their talent is not as good, I don't think, but it's still, they're playing better football. You're right about that. I mean, Dallas, we know there's questions there and now they got injuries. The Giants are the Giants right now. Washington's certainly playing the cleanest ball on both sides of the ball. I did have a weird feeling about the commanders coming into the season. Yeah. I felt like they tracked better with last year's Texans than the Bears did. Right. Right. Just the ability to just kind of go about your business. Yeah. Now they did have the prime time game week three, but that ended up working out perfectly because it's like damn. Yeah. And I think when you have a game like that, when everyone's watching, your future opponents are watching it, it adds to the aura that you have to overcome. Yeah. And you see what the guy can do. Now you have to deal with him and it kind of scares you a little bit. Like he's the guy. He's the red dot player and he's good enough to overcome that. Here's what I want to see, we got four games in and you know how this goes, four, five, six weeks. Yeah. There's enough film to figure out what he does well. Let's take it away. What does he not do well? Let's force him to do it. And if he's really good, it won't matter. Yeah. We'll find out over the next four weeks, whether or not all the access to the game planning, the Cliff Kingsbury stuff, like how much do the offense really change and will it matter because you just have to go catch the guy. Yeah. No, no, exactly right. I liked what I've seen. Kingsbury, more formations, more running schemes. He used to be very basic in that department and then it's expanded. And I give him a lot of credit for going back into the lab. He picked up some of those in Thailand. Exactly. Yeah. Right. Right. But to your point, they got the Browns and the Ravens the next two weeks. Those are going to, the Browns are still a good defense. We'll talk about their dysfunctional offense later, but their defense is still real. We know the Ravens defense is real and yeah, we'll get a little bit better feel for how good this offense is and see if Jane Daniels continue this unbelievable run. All right. Let's go ahead and take a break. We're going to do some Sunday superlatives AFC edition next right here on BFT live. You're only going to be here one day a week. You're a guest now. Yeah. You're not a co-host. You're a guest. I disagree. I still am a co-host. Okay. You'll be one day a week, you'd be like if they were doing the credits on a sitcom. If it would be special appearance by Chris Sims, apologies to the folks listening to the podcast or on Sirius XM85, but if you want to see it, hey, get peacock. That's all I can tell you. Yeah. Spring for peacock. And you would have seen that. That was very well done. Okay. Well, baby, we're kind of pulling these out of our butts today, like it makes you know different. If it's a day ending in why. Yeah. I mean, do you think I'm like going to bed at two in the morning? Good. Let me think amazing proof that is what we're both going to come up with something for each of these four games. Yeah. Let's start with Broncos jets. Negative goes right or the pattern is full negative. No flybys here. Sorry. We have a grounded jet. It got a little rainy and your quarterback's old and he got the crap beat out of them yesterday. I mean, that's a long one. I know. That's right. That's what I'm going to say. All right. The pattern is full right from top gun. You know, well, I know. Well, I know. All right. I just want to make sure you know, instead of the coffee spilling on you, you're licking the mug. That's the same. Exactly right. But I don't even know what to say about this game. It's hard. It's the ugliest game of the day. It was also maybe up there with the most shocking game of the day, right? Because we're on the heels of in New York for the last week from that Patriots game on Thursday night. Oh my gosh, Aaron Rodgers in this offense. Oh, Aaron Rodgers, he just sees everything. He never misses a read. It's just like, you can't defend it. You can't? Oh, and sorry. Vance Joseph and Sean Payton can't. I mean, yeah, that was an ugly loss. You lost the game to Bonix and the Broncos. Bonix threw for 60 yards. Like come on. It felt like a game, which I think is funny that they would have won with Zach Wilson. And here they got with Aaron Rodgers. They didn't win it. You know, I just thought in that ironic, but either way, to come off the heels of a great win and then to kind of lay an egg like that yesterday, that was disappointing. I want to crap on the Jets some more, but bring on the Chiefs. If I'm the Broncos, look at that defense. Yeah. Look what they've done. I know. They hold the Jets to nine. They hold the Bucks to seven. Yeah. Right. And yes, they lost two games, but they held the Steelers to 13. The defense is really coming along. The offense needs work, but that will the offense will get better. They don't play the Chiefs until Sunday, November the 10th, week 10, which is good. It gives you more time to get your act together and then they play them again to end the regular season. They, they make, they may give the Chiefs trouble because that defense is real. Definitely. They're not afraid to make the game ugly and be physical. It's another aspect we've hit on before, but Sean Payton, his teams are tough. They are. It was interesting, right? Like Aaron Rodgers got hit a lot and they decided to blitz Rogers and see that to me is where the simpleness of the Jets offense comes and Rogers has his little checks. He goes to a certain things, but to me, what I saw yesterday is a team of gun. We know when we blitz, we know what he's going to check to. We know where he's going to throw it hot and do that. And they were like, fine, let's blitz them. And so what he throws it for two yards, but we know where it's going and we'll rally and make the tackle and they get two yards instead of, Hey, wait, our front four is not that dominant. Let him sit back there and dice us up like he did with the Patriots. So they forced his hand a little bit and of course he doesn't move as well either. Does that become like a blueprint game? I think definitely you're going to see a little bit there and that's to me where the Jets get in trouble because Aaron Rodgers doesn't like motion and they don't like a lot of formations and it becomes a little bit predictable to a degree about what they might dial up in certain situations during a game. That's a rough couple of games it met. Two games, 17 penalties, eight field goals, no touchdowns, no wins for the Jets and the Giants. And the Jets go to London next week to face the Vikings are one of our producers on football night. America James Kaminsky is already like accepting the loss, which probably means the Jets win. But when you talk about blitzing, I mean, look at what the Vikings defense is doing. You're going to have Rodgers wondering every single play. Are they blitzing? Where's it coming from? What am I going to do and maybe you get him a little freaked out and anticipating things that don't actually happen. He's gone from looking old to looking like his old self to looking old again. He's weird and then he got hit late and he's going to be sort of that and you know, that's the leg with the Achilles and everybody says he's fine, but yeah, he's 40. So he may be feeling it today and it may give him some concern and then you got to travel across the ocean and you got to play a game over there. It's just, you know, they've been through a lot already. Yeah, they have. And, and yesterday's game. I just look at it. That hurt yesterday. That's a game you play off team. Yeah. You got to win that game at home against a Broncos team that hasn't made it to the playoffs since the 2015 season. Yeah. Agreed with that. I mean, no doubt about it. All right. What was the other thing? I wanted to say one other thing, but I, but I forgot. Let's move on. Think of it. You can bring it back later. Cool. Cult speed the Steelers 2724. What's your super? I mean, codecracker. That's what I'm going to go with. Shane Steichen. That's, he's got something on this Steelers defense. They've played them out of the last eight games. They've played the Steelers twice. They've got 700 yards of total offense and what's more impressive than that. They have 300 yards of total running, running yards, right? So he's got a feel for this blitzberg defense and what they do and mine with Anthony Richardson or not. It doesn't matter. They've found ways to move the ball. They can really run the ball in Indianapolis. I think that's really surprising to the fact that they ran the ball that way yesterday. And of course, he knows how to tie things together and use one element off the other in the offense. And I just was so impressed with Pittsburgh, who we know has been one of the best defenses in football. Yeah, Shane Steichen, Joe Flacco, kind of tore them up yesterday. I'm contemplating whether to go there. Oh, what the hell? What? Well, now I won't. I'll save it for another day. Bottom line is take that Cleveland. That's my superb. Oh, I hear you. I hear you. Because right. They never even called Joe Flacco. I asked him that yesterday because I said, how'd you end up with the Colts? Well, it's not like the phone was ringing. And he had experience with Shane Steichen from one of his stints somewhere, Billy or something like that. And did you hear from Cleveland? No. He laughed. No. I said what happened with Cleveland. Right. And he said, well, I'll tell you what happened. I went and I played a handful of games and won comeback play of the year. I said, well, after that, what happened? They didn't call. And we know why they didn't call. They couldn't call. Because you know what would be going on in Cleveland right now? We want Flacco. We want Flacco. Yeah. Definitely. And they'd be stuck. Right. So, I understand why they did what they did. Yeah. But the guy can still play. Yes, he can. And he had to come in moments notice, drop in the hat, look calm. He told me, I may have looked it, but I wasn't. And you just settle down one play at a time. Yeah. And oh, yeah. He'll throw that ball. Because Steeler's again. Right. And he's 39. Yeah. And he still has it. Yeah. It's amazing. Right. Okay. I'm used to these guys. I know how they play. He's going to play as long as he can. Because you got the rest of your life to not play football. I hear that. I love that about him. It's true Jersey guy. As he's a Jersey Joe Flacco. I love that about him. Definitely. This game was interesting. Right. I certainly didn't expect the Colts to jump out to a 17.0 lead like they did. I think there was two big points in the game. One, I thought the Steelers panicked a little early. They went for it on a fourth and one on their own 39 down 14 nothing. And their defense did a good job, held the Colts to a field goal. The fumble by Pickens at the end of the half. Right. They're all that weird thing. I don't know what he was reaching out for. But it felt like the Steelers had kind of regained momentum and you went, oh, here they go a little bit. That was a big moment. And they waited too long to open it up. They got to show a little more confidence in Justin Fields. Justin Fields is proving here kind of week by week that he's not the same guy. He can throw the ball. He can take care of the football. He made a lot of big throws yesterday. I thought yesterday they were a little too stubborn and we're going to just keep playing defense and doing what we want to do. And it was a day where it was like, no, no, we got to start opening up now. We're going to be in trouble, but good win by the Colts nonetheless. Yeah. Impressive Colts are now two and two Steelers get their first loss of the season and Russell Wilson's calf might start to accelerate the healing process after yesterday's struggles, although they still scored 24 points. Yeah. And it'll be interesting to see what the Steelers do moving forward. They get the big game Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys on NBC. They have the Raiders after that. And then the Jets on another prime time game, I think a Sunday night again, then a Monday night prime time game against the Giants. So we'll see how the Steelers continue to to win or not. Okay, Texans Jaguars, what's your superlative? I mean, nine lives spent, nine lives, I wanted to do something on a cat, but they're dead. I just want to say dead. They're eating the cats. They're dead. That's only, that hasn't even been three weeks ago and it's like, it's like 20 years old, like a pet rock. Yeah. It's a little overused. Yeah. Dead feline. That's what I'll say. 10th live. 10th live. Right. That's what they're going to need to survive it because, you know, again, CJ Shroud's awesome and you just felt like when he got the ball late in the game, you're just, CJ Shroud's one of the best quarterbacks in football. He never misses a throw. It's always on the money. Another team that I throw up there with Kevin O'Connell, they just 20 yard completions grow on trees in Houston. They're amazing that way. And you have one quarterback here who never misses a big throw, never always makes the big play in the big moment for the most part and has everything you want. And then you have Trevor Lawrence who, hey, has everything you want, but does not seem to be delivering in those moments right now. And there was a handful of plays and throws yesterday where Trevor Lawrence, you just went, man, in this game, gosh, you got to hit that. You need to be the guy that jump starts the organization and get things going that way. And he did not deliver. And I understand people questioning Trevor Lawrence and his play right now. I get it. Dysfunctionville. Yeah. Oh, that's a good one because look, a couple of the quotes from Doug Peterson. After the game. Yeah. The first one he's asked if he's concerned about his status and acted surprised. Right. That's kind of a strange question. No, it's not. It's kind of a strange thing that you don't realize the owner wrote a check back in late August and you're bouncing. Right. He wrote a check on your account. Yeah. And there's insufficient funds because he said this is the most talented Jaguar's team ever. Is he right? No. Is his vote the only one that matters? Yes. And then when Peterson did that thing, we played it last night on football night in America, wrote about it at PFT where he was asked about whether or not he would take play calling duties from offense coordinator, press tailor. And he started down that path of, hey, look, we can't go out and make the plays. Yeah. Yeah. And then he went back to coach like every once in a while. And Jason Garrett says, you know, you want us to be candid, but then we're candid and we get ourselves in trouble. He let that cat out of the bag, no pun intended, blaming the players. We're calling plays that will work. The players aren't executing. That's what he was saying. Before he said, you go ahead and blame it all on me. He was blaming the players when he said it and I heard it and then heard it again because they probably played it back. I just, I, to me, it felt like he was talking about Trevor Lawrence again. That's what I'll say. There was just a few throws in the game that I, again, would have been, you know, really put Houston in a tough spot. Let alone, let's just hit this spot real quick too. Tanks big, tank bigs be the running back for Jacksonville. Who is their best running back on their team? He is better than Travis Etienne. He is the guy. He breaks a long run. They have first and goal at the four yard line. They're up 20 to 17. They can go up 27, 17 and really make things uncomfortable. They get nothing. They get stopped on fourth and goal. No points. There's just too much of that in Jacksonville. It's just disappointing. Let alone their defense. It does have talent and they have not been very impressive this year as well. Bigs, he had 90 yards on seven carries yesterday. He's the guy. He needs to get him the ball. Yes. He is. So we'll see where he goes. Brian Thomas Jr. is great too. Yes, he is. He's the other guy. They got to get him the ball more as well. But yes, the damn thing between him and Malik neighbors and Holy crowd, Jaden Daniels, they were on the same team together. They got the Colts coming to town next weekend, then they have two games in London against the Bears and the Patriots. No buy on the back end. The Packers come to Jacksonville after that. The buy is late. I don't know if and when I talked to somebody with knowledge of the dynamics of the organization last night, it would be a surprise if Doug Peterson got fired today. Right. I don't expect that. And then the question is, who takes over? Yeah. Who takes over? Right. Mike McCoy has had coaching experience with the Chargers. He's been offensive coordinator with the Broncos. So I think he makes the most sense if and when it ever happens. But look, you're 0 and 4. They were 2 and 6, 2 years ago and they turned it around and made it to the final 8. So I think Doug Peterson gets a little more time. If you flip, Jason Garrett made this point yesterday too in the viewing room. If you flip 24/20 loss to the Texans with 47/10 blowout by the Bills and that had happened yesterday, different vibe. They at least showed they didn't get embarrassed. No. They'd gotten blown out against. I think it would have been different. But still, it's just it's got to be even more maddening. I say all the time, it's better to get blown out than to lose a game late that you should have won. Yeah, what a ripped heart out. And they lost too that they should have won. Right. One game against Miami, Dolphins, they were up, they had it in hand, 10 point lead. Ball gets punched out by Jevon Holland and that's that and then they could have should have won this game yesterday. It would have been a huge win for them. Yeah. A two game swing in the division would have pulled them to 1 and 3 would have dropped the Texans to 2 and 2. Yeah. That would have been gigantic. Definitely. It would have been a huge, huge football game. Let's go. We got one more. All right. We got one more. Bengals defeat the Panthers 34/24. Mine is order has been restored. Okay. Okay. I feel no better is mine. I feel no better because I got questions about the bangles. I know the offense is functioning at a high level. Burrow looks like he's got it going. Hey, man, Chase Brown at running back is a weapon and it looks like they've settled in on him. Maybe being the go to guy. Jamar, Chase looked amazing. T Higgins looked amazing, but still at the end of the day, I worry about the Cincinnati Bengals defense. Cincinnati can't rush the passer and they can't stop the run. So Blue in a room with a defensive coordinator, he's a little bit stuck and I got a blitz and it's going to be tough to win that way when you play some of the better teams. But, you know, yesterday, it wasn't like they were significantly better than the Panthers. The Panthers went right down the field, got stopped on a fourth in goal and then Dalton threw an interception, backed up. I mean, they lit up 14 points, you know, before the game even got started and then Jamar, Chase broke the big play and all of that. But yeah, I know the offense is good, but man, that bangles defense worries me. Well, and, you know, I heard from a lot of angry Panthers fans last Monday, how dare you have the Panthers, number 32, how dare you say all those things about the Panthers. They're back to being more like what they were. I think what happened in week three told us more about the Raiders than it did about the Panthers and it gets back to the whole urgency and focus and assuming you're just going to show up and win a game and I think that's what happened to the Raiders last week. Okay, let's take a break. Through all of those, when we return, the NFC South is a three team race and two of them played a wild game yesterday, Falcons, Saints, we'll talk about that next year on PFT Live.

But you got it. You got it. Yeah. The Bears beat the Rams. The Rams coming off that emotional win over the 49ers. Caleb Williams, 17 to 23, 157 yards, his first home passing touchdown. DeAndre Swift citing 165 total yards. Wow. Wow. That's a really expensive lead to overcome and turn back the Rams and get that win to get to two and two impressive day by the Bears, all things considered. We kind of want to write them off based upon the first three weeks, but they were two and two. I know. You know, they're potentially going to get better and iron some of these issues out and all these wins in September are money in the bank for later in the season. Yeah. I mean, hopefully this is a sign of good things to come that they don't have to rely on Caleb Williams or rookie quarterback to throw the ball 55 times a game. I mean, that was not good. Yesterday, they could block a little bit. They ran the ball. They actually protected Caleb Williams a little bit, played a full complete game, but still not pretty on offense. Can't get receivers the football. That's an issue there. So I don't like the way their offense is orchestrated. I'll say that this game, there was three games yesterday where I felt like the team that one was outplayed. The Bears, I felt like were outplayed by the Rams. I felt like the Broncos were probably outplayed by the Jets. And I felt like that the Falcons were outplayed by the Saints. That was kind of one of my little themes yesterday. But either way, in this one, hey, the Bears defense, making plays, definitely that was the big thing and some mistakes and some big moments by the Rams. Stafford do a bad interception in the run zone. He had the strip sack, right? Montes sweat gets that, that big play there. So the Bears made some big plays and some big moments, but it also felt like the Rams made some big mistakes and some big moments as well. Yeah, and look, I don't know how good the Rams are going to be this year. They're just trying to survive at this point. They need to get some of their key players back. It was their first time back to Chicago since a 15 to 6 Sunday night football loss in December of 2018, the first Super Bowl year with Sean McVay. And they just have a hard time in Chicago. Yeah, you go there. The grass is long. The elements are real. It's windy. It's like, wait, we're from LA. This is not exactly what we're used to there. And the Bears are a tough physical football team and finally showed some balance on offense. And that's encouraging. We'll see if they can continue that. You mentioned the Saints outplaying the Falcons. Falcons ultimately outscored the Saints thanks to Youngweight Coo's game winning 58-yarder. Amazing. Amazing. We just, we see these kicks that there isn't even any doubt. It wasn't close. It wasn't like it hit the bar and bounced across, but that's what the Falcons needed to get to two and two. They were in danger getting left in the dust with the Panthers by the Saints in the Buccaneers. Those division games are critical and the Falcons have to turn around and play another one on Thursday night. Kirk Cousins said after the win, we still have a lot to fix. Yeah. Winds a win, but they got a lot to fix. Definitely. They're going to have a problem with the Buccaneers potential. Well, like you just heard me say, they were outplayed yesterday. Again, it's one of those where, yeah, they won the game and I'm not trying to take credit away. You know, can you depend on Muff punt by the Saints and give you a short field, easy touchdown or not, not even the short field. I forgot they've recovered it in the end zone, right? Yeah. To go up seven nothing. Can you depend on a Matthew DeDon, strip sack, ball pop in the air interception, pick six every week, right? Those are the things you look at and go, you know, hey, that was good plays. I certainly don't want to take anything away from you, but it felt like in the meat and potatoes of the game, right? I have here. I'm watching the games. You know why I write notes. And things like, man, the Saints are doing whatever they want because it's the throwing in interceptions. Saints go right down in the score, running the ball, throwing the ball, wherever, then the pick six happens and the Falcons got it going on the offensive side of the ball and started to get in a little rhythm there late in the second quarter, third, third quarter and all that and put it together, but they can't get in the end zone. That's the problem with them right now. He's not a power thrower to throw a laser in the end zone and they don't have a guy who can rip off a big play at receiver right now. Mooney is by far their big guy, big play guy. And it's shown to be an issue with Falcons, but good win for them. Yeah, absolutely. They play the Buccaneers twice in the next month. So we'll learn a lot about whether or not the Falcons are ready to contend. Yeah, right. Again. Bijon Robinson, they need more. Yes. Kyle Pitts, they need more. We got so fascinated by all those skill position guys. They had a year ago that they need to get more out of them and cousins is the guy that needs the coke's more out of them. And we'll see. Again, teams are going to get better as the season goes, but I look at this coming up schedule. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to know about it. We're going to know. And we're going to find out short week Thursday night. Another home game. This will be their fourth home game already. They've only played one run game for home games in the first five weeks. That's a weird quarter. It is weird. Because you're getting your people to come out over and over and over again Sunday night, Sunday afternoon, Thursday night, three straight home games for the Atlanta Falcons, at least the hot dogs are cheap. We'll see if they can beat the Buccaneers coming on Thursday night. Let's take a break. When we return, the Raiders handled their business against the Browns. Is it time for a quarterback change in New England or in Cleveland? We'll talk about that next on PFT Live. I asked Malik why he didn't throw the ball on that third down and he told me that Josh threw up on the ball. I was like, that's the first time I've ever heard that term vomit ball. Whoa, took on a very literal meaning yesterday at Lambo Field. That center. Josh Myers vomited on the football. You have dealt with Swamp Ass. Yes. Preseason football can be brutal because your center can get Swamp Ass. It's one of those things where you actually ask the center to change his pants at halftime. Yes. And I'm not kidding you. Right. I could see the look in your eye. I looked at the camera and you're thinking Swamp Ass, Swamp Ass, Swamp Ass. That's good. That was 2021. That was the first Cowboys bucks first game back after COVID and all that stuff. Fun time. Certainly. But yes, Swamp Ass is a real thing. When you play quarterback down in Tampa and apparently pukeball is a real thing in Green Bay. Although we still need to fully subruder film that clip because it doesn't look like it took the full brunt of it. But that was a couple of weeks ago. The NFL changes dramatically from week to week as the Raiders found out after embarrassing themselves at home against the Panthers in week three, they managed to beat the Brown, sending the Browns to one and three. The Browns is the Browns. I mean, there was really nothing spectacular about this game. No Devontae Adams, no Max Crosby. But they held it together. The Raiders did a week after looking horrible and now the Browns are like, what the hell are we? So after they had that Super Bowl theme to it. Right. Right. Yeah. It's, I mean, tough physical Antonio Pierce type of win. They ran the ball really well. Gardner Menchoo didn't do much passing the ball in the game. They did it that way and they did it with their defense. Now, you know, I'll give them credit for running the ball Cleveland. If there is a weakness to their team, they do not have big defensive tackles or big middle linebacker. So you can do that to them a little bit. I give them credit for how their defense look. And like in all due respect, I, you know, their defense is tough and well coached. I know that. But Cleveland's often stinks. The quarterback stinks it's, it's, the quarterback is holding the team hostage. This is where. At least you'd be more blunt. They hate having to read between the line. Yeah. Well, good here. You don't have too much. I mean, there, he's, he's holding them hostage. This is where the politics or football are going to hurt the whole football team. They'd have Joe's eyes on the team. They'd have Joe. Right. But we got to justify that dumb trade and the dumbest contract in the history of football for Deshawn Watson. So they're going to continue to let this go with below average quarterback play. If anybody had played like Deshawn Watson last year or this year, they'd be benched already. They'd be benched. That's the plain and simple fact of the matter. What's the biggest problem you see with them? To me, no feel right doesn't see the field that well. His throwing is not a lead. There's nothing positive to jump on it anywhere. Their offense is not great. I get that. I understand that. But there's still the offenses called like, like I would tell you, like they still don't trust him to just let it fly and go through him. And this is a team we know that can't run the ball with injuries on the old line, chubs out there. We got a $45 million a year quarterback, right? Who doesn't want designed runs? Who doesn't want to do that? Which is a fucking tough too. Right. So yeah, I mean, that, that to me is the big story of this one and the fact that Cleveland with all that talent is sitting here at one and three and some of the worst quarterback play in football from their football team. I think they'd get out of it if they could. I think he'd get out of it if he could. Maybe. You get to the point where you have the golden handcuffs. Yeah. And $92 million after this year is still owed to him fully guaranteed that lawsuit from three weeks ago that we first heard about is still kind of trickling around. It could cause the dominoes to fall in a way that gets him suspended, allows the Browns if he didn't disclose that in writing ahead of time to get out from under the contract. We'll see how that plays out. That may be the only literal get out of jail free card that the Browns have to avoid that debt. And at some point, they may just have to say, we'll pay you $92 million to just pack up and leave. Yeah. Kind of what the Broncos did with Russell Wilson, although a lot more expensive and a lot greater cap ramification. At some point, you just need to move on. At some point, you just need to call it because what's your choice? You either pay him to leave or you pay him to be on the bench and just kind of continue to hover over the team. That's not good for anybody. No, definitely not. It's amazing how far he's fallen since 2020. I know I'm harsh right now. I get that. But I've tried hard to give every benefit of the doubt I have. I really have. I mean, two years ago, I thought it would turn around going into last year. I did. You know, I've ranked him high on the quarterback ranking. I'm going, well, this is only a matter of time. This guy's too good. He's going to, he's going to turn this around. We'll see the old Deshawn Watson. And even this year, you know, even though I was like, I got questions, I still was expecting to see better than what we're seeing here. Definitely. I don't, at what point do they start to talk, James Winston? I don't know. James Winston, I can promise you can make more throws and plays in the packet right now than Deshawn Watson. I don't have any doubt about that. Deshawn Watson looks like a guy who's lost his ability and feel of how to play. He's got no confidence. We talked about. Yeah. No confidence. Yeah. Confidence is so important. And I think it's eroded. He had that year in 2021 where he didn't play at all. And then with all the stuff with the off field, I just, he's lost it and it, no matter how hard he tries, it's not coming back and I don't even at this point, how hard he's trying to get it back. I just kind of given up. I got 92 minutes. So coming to me. I'll just keep showing up. I'll keep punching the clock. I'll keep collecting my check as long as they tell me. Yeah. Right. I mean, the comments he made about like, should we run the quarterback a little bit? To me, it's like, yeah, it's set it all. Whatever it takes to win, right? We don't have a running game. If I can supply the running game, whatever it takes to win, that should be the reaction. That should be the response. Whatever it takes to win. I'll do. Jackson seems to be running the ball that lately. He's got no problem. So, you know, it's, you got to do something to jumpstart your team and help them a little bit, especially when you're the highest paid guy in the team. And that, that, that's, you know, being lost here. 49. Oh, wait. Let's get. Let's get to the Devontae Adams. Okay. Devontae Adams is reportedly week to week with a hamstring injury that happened at the tail under practice on Thursday. I don't think we're going to see him in the Raiders uniform again. Right. I think that over the next five weeks and one day, we're going to constantly hear chatter about where he will be traded and why would the Raiders not do it? Because the salary shoots to 35.64 million next year. Right. They're not going to pay him that. Right. They don't get compensatory draft picks if they cut him. The only way you get value for him is if you trade him. Yeah. And there will be suitors for Devontae Adams, even though, you know, the receiver series didn't do him any favor. Yeah. The first reputation is not good in the NFL, but there will be suitors. Right. And the Jets are the most obvious one because you get reunited with Aaron Rodgers. And I don't know that they need him when you have Alan Lazard, Mike Williams, and Garrett Wilson. I don't know that you need Devontae. I don't, I don't think so either. In fact, it might confuse things a little bit. It's going to piss off Garrett Wilson is what it's going to do because he's sitting here going, wait, I'm supposed to be the guy and Alan Lazard still getting the ball more than me. What's going on here? So I don't know either. And, and how much do they want to leverage on the future to trade for him and do all that too? I think it's a good question. Somebody suggested me yesterday a couple of threes. That seems a little bit much for a guy that the Raiders are going to have, but it comes down to how many teams want him to be the market. Right. Right. You can get for him, but you can get a bidding award to, to break out for the remainder of that contract. Because again, it's just the rest of this year, no one's paying him 35.64 million next year. Yeah. You're going to have to work out the contract after this year, but at least you have the right to do that and maybe you can, but it would be kind of nice on the way in to maybe have it worked out. Yeah. You know, you've, you've got to be on this year. All right. We're going to take a break. Last game from Sunday, the one we haven't discussed yet, and we won't spend much time discussing it. That's 49ers next year on PFT live. Two of the teams with full trophy cases got together yesterday, neither team has gotten one in recent years, although the Patriots far more recent than 49ers. It really is weird. It's been 30 years since the 49ers won their last Super League. Gosh. They've been in three. They've been around. Yeah. They've been three since then. Right. They get the win yesterday 30 to 13 over the Patriots. We expected that. The real question going forward, how much longer does Jacobi percette remain as the starting quarterback? At what point is Drake May ready to go? Yeah. I hear you there. And I think that's all going to come down to do they feel like their offensive line is good enough to protect them and not get them killed out there? And can they just support them the right way, right? Because I mean, yesterday again, you saw Jacobi percette take a lot of hits, but you know, 49ers still, no McCaffrey doesn't matter. Jordan Mason. I mean, gosh, can he run the ball? Does he run hard? Brock Purdy. Let me say this. All right. I've been called a Brock Purdy hater a little bit. I understand that Brock Purdy is playing a really good football. Brock Purdy has made more throws and done things this year that have opened my eyes than last year. He really has. It's a little bit more of like, oh, wow, it's not Shanahan just delivering it for him all the time. Made the great throw in the back of the ends on the kettle yesterday. Good win for the 49ers. And man, Fred Warner is amazing. And an IU targeted five times, two catches, 48 yards, you know, Devin McCarty surprised me yesterday with his candor about that whole wrong shorts thing from last week. I kind of seen Kyle Shanahan talk about it when I found the video. It is just weird. There's still something there between the 49ers and IU. Yeah. Well, I think it was, you know, even after they paid him, it was a, it was a long, a little bit of a bitter fight, I think, and I, you know, with IU and some of the things he did and all of that and the 49ers being a Super Bowl contender, I'm sure there's a little bit of bad blood there. You don't wear different shorts. There's always a little bit of personal that creeps into that. And I think it's harder for the player to move past it than the team because the team has to do it over and over again. I think it's harder for the team to say it was just business I can move on. Yeah. All right. Quick break. More pips elaborate after this. Keep winning the audience that are curious about this. It was one of the first things like that was really gross. Too bad we don't have that on camera. Although that camera might have always been on it, but anyway, the guy who once ate a hamburger off the floor at LaGuardia, who knows where that Yeti cup has been. I saw where it just was and I'm never touching it. Okay. Tonight, the simultaneous overlapping double headers, the dolphins hosting the Titans and the Seahawks at the Lions. ESPN, don't show me a split screen of the other game. I know where it is. I can watch it. I can watch it. Exactly. On YouTube TV, the split screen is ahead of the game. You're trying to watch. Don't do it. ESPN. I like the dolphins at a close one. I like the Lions and a bar burner. Same. Good. See you tomorrow, asshole.
