  Speaker 1: and a lineup that's stacked with artists like T.I., Rick Ross,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. And a portion of every
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: cabin funds scholarships for HBCU students, so it's a party
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: with a purpose. On the cruise, I'll be hosting live

  Speaker 1: at The Daily Play, Joy Taylor.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: That was quite the Monday night football game. I.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: expected the ending to be what the entirety of the game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Was supposed to look like but they stumbled out the.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Blocks a little bit um down 2019 to start the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: first drive of the fourth quarter the bills five plays
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: eight yards and less than three minutes later were in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: front 27 20 so basically it just took a little
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: while for things to get crazy and then they got
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: really really wild and Ended up going into overtime, a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: real back and forth thriller, even got a blocked field
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: goal in overtime. Josh Allen said, found a way to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: win the first overtime I've got. So it feels good
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to be on this side. A lot of things clean up.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We'll take being up 1-0 on this little two game
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: West Coast trip.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It was a really weird game.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Both teams really shot themselves in the foot for the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: first three quarters or so before giving us the type
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of ball that we were expecting.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And Josh Allen, he really is unstoppable. He's kind of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like a superhero.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: When he clicks into that other gear and drops his
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: shoulder and does that thing that he does.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: It always scares me and it always will.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And I will stay on that hill that I wish
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he would protect himself a little bit more when he runs.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But it is really, it's something to watch when he
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: gets going.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And the Rams really lost, a tough one um i
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: mean this was back and forth at the end and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the bills really snuck this one out the rams are
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: lucky to have an easy stretch coming up because they've
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: got to turn it around pretty quickly in the nfc
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: west la is a game back of seattle who also
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: lost in week five and three games back of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: undefeated niners who have been pretty spectacular despite their circumstances
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the The Rams' next three are Arizona at Las Vegas
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and the LA Chargers.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So they can, if.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They play the way they played in the first quarter
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in overtime against those teams, make up some ground there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And the Bills are 4-1, wanting to keep ground. They
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have very small ground in the AFC East on the Patriots.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They have the at Las Vegas by and then Baltimore.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So things are starting to shape up pretty.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Quickly in these divisions, which we'll get into more in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a bit. But this game was a battle of heavyweights,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a battle of two teams that we expect to be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there at the end of the season competing for Super Bowl. Now, obviously,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the Rams have not had the start to the season
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that we all expected.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Them to have.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But they had their moments that they showed throughout this
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: game that remind you why they are a team that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we take seriously. And I think that if they are
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: able to make up some ground and get things going,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: they are going to be a team to reckon with
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: as the season starts to progress. But a really fun
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: watch towards the end of the game. And they ended
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: up delivering, did both.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Of these teams.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Staying in the NFL, there are three undefeated teams through
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: week five of the season. One of them is the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. The Chiefs are at 4-0, chilling on their bye,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: which pretty much makes sense. No one's really particularly surprised
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: about that. The Niners are 5-0, a little less likely
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: given their injury situation, but believable with their track record. However,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the Vikings, we need to have a dialogue about. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Minnesota beat the Saints in New Orleans on Sunday and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: remains undefeated.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: They brought up Kyler Murray. on the cheap, sent out J.J.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: McCarthy to the Giants as a backup.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Won a couple games with Carson Wentz.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Not exactly the quarterback news you would expect from a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: team that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Has a perfect record.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: However, Kevin O'Connell continues to show his ability to not
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: only elevate quarterbacks, but to weather through whatever storm the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: quarterback gods give him. And listen, they've got a defense
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that is serious, but What? Like, what are those sentences
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that I just said? Kyler Murray is a really talented player,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but he has his track record of not being the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: most consistent or reliable. However, he looked like his old self,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: scrambled out of drop back seven times for 54 yards,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: converted third downs on three of those plays, 24 of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: 30 for 229 yards and a touchdown. And his legs
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: were the key. He said, I think that's what today
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: called for, not trying to go out there and force
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it or anything like that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: When it's there, it's there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It kind of ignited us offensively in moments, trying to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: make plays on my feet and downfield when everything's broken down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of plays that I was able
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to extend, so I love to do it when it's there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's not something I'm going to go out there and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: search for, trying to throw it rhythm in the offense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: If it happens, it happens. But today it kind of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: turned back the clock a little bit. I don't know.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: When we talk about them being 5-0, it just is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a glaring number for... a team that coming into the season,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we expected much of. I certainly
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: didn't expect them to be undefeated through five games. And yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: O'Connell's starting to look like a legit quarterback whisperer. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I know the wins aren't necessarily impressive, but it's the NFL.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You take the, you got to win the games that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: are on your schedule, right? They haven't had the toughest tests.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: They had divisional wins over the Packers and Bears. They
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: beat the Bucks in the game that Mayfield got injured.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins, who are awful.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And the Saints.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But they've won all of those games. Any of those
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: games could have gone the other way. Their next three
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: are Indiana, Detroit, and at Buffalo on Monday Night Football.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to jump out the window here,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but At some point, we've got to take what they're
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: doing seriously. I don't know that they are contenders to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl, but they're going to mess somebody's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: season up playing the way that they are. If they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: can stay healthy at quarterback, because I'm not going to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: get too crazy with magic that O'Connell has going on
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: right now, they could be a team that ends up
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: making a run.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, can Murray stay healthy? He had a concussion.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: 11 snaps into the season opener, and.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: They've figured out something that works now, that he's back.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't like overreacting to these.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Kind of runs usually, but they seem to have something
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going on there that is making sense.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And they're winning all their games. I mean, you have
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to at least give them that. So don't go embarrassing
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: me now, Vikings. So now let's talk about the NFC East.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, nobody wants to win this division.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The Giants and Commanders tied in just a complete debacle
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in overtime. The Cowboys lost to the Bucs with undrafted
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: quarterback Jalen Daniels having the night of his life on
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Thursday night.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And then the Eagles gave a win away with eight
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: seconds left in London. It was an awful weekend for
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the NFC East. It just....
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even have the words to describe the division.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to win it, though. I don't see any
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of these teams as real contenders. The Eagles have once
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: again lost their way. And I thought that Michael Urban
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: said something very interesting about them, that Sirianni's thing has
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: always been that despite whatever's going on with them, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen's thing, too, actually, for that matter, has always been
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that they find a way to win.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Things might be troublesome. There might be drama. There might
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: be injuries. There might be, you know, a lot of chatter.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But in the end, they find a way to win.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And now they're finding ways to lose. And that is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a real problem because you could always hang your hat on. OK,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we don't have everything perfect. The offense doesn't look perfect.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Things are a little clunky. We're not we have upset receivers.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: We've got this going on here and that going on there.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, winning cures all. Well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: now they're not winning. So you can't default to that. Now, again,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I am not on board with completely freaking out and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: tearing everything apart. They are a championship level organization and
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they have championship level pedigree.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to give them grace.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the rest of Philadelphia is. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I also have to consider all the injuries that are
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: going on with them. They are absolutely decimated by injuries. However, really,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: really bad loss. The commanders, I loved seeing Jaden Daniels
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: back out there dishing, but that kind of loss is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the type of loss that gets people fired.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And I just.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I can put that much of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it at the feet of Jaden Daniels. There are so
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: many coaches on the sideline. There are so many people
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: standing around. Somebody has to have control. And I love
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. I think he's an excellent coach. There's some
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: mistakes that just can't happen.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: At this level.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And look, congrats to the Giants on being plucky, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting on board. I think, you know, they're
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: not a team that I take seriously. Eventually, Jameis, even
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: though he is playing really well right now, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think that he has completely turned a new leaf.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: On finding ways to turn the ball over.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Faith on what they're going to do as far as
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: postseason goes. I think they're going to win some more
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: games this year, of course, and can stay afloat.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But are they a real threat to anybody? No, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: don't think so.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And the Cowboys, who still can't stop anybody on defense,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: they've allowed at least 378 yards and 20 points in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: each of their first five games.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And we're still going to have to watch all these
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: teams in primetime. This is a terrible division.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to be one of those divisional races that
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we're forced to care about because of the names that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: are in the division, but it's not going to be
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the level of play unless somebody gets it together.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: And goes on a run that is deserving of this conversation.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Because I don't think any of these teams are real
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: contenders for a Super Bowl, at least not the way
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that they're playing right now.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how things shape up.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It was a really, really naughty weekend for the NFC East.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a lot of work to do or
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: any of these teams start jumping into the conversation with
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the big dogs around the NFL. Thanks so much for
