  Speaker 1: dinner such and in this heavy right pound the Vikings
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: with the yacht cow hool the Vikings when the game
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of the year. I think the Bills are a really
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: good football team that will be playing a meaningful football
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: in January. It's a great atmosphere here. Um. You know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: certainly when it's a game that close, you can point
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to any number of plays where the game could have
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: gone either direction, and we're, you know, thrilled to come
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: out of here with a win. Have you seen the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: highlight of it. Yeah, they was showing me in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: locker room just for sure, for sure, just so just
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the way my body had wind up him catching the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands and me taking it from UM.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the whole the whole play was was crazy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I was right in front of him, literally right in
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: front of when he called it. I saw Reese back
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and did it. Had a little bit of O'Dell, you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know back in two thousand and fourteen and whenever you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: made that crazy catch. And luckily the defender was right
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: behind him because it kind of helped him stop his
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: hand for continue going back even further and justin did
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a great job of, you know, maintaining the possession of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the ball. And what a great fourth down platement. I mean,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: big time players, make it, big time please in this game.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Drop the entire game. Losing sucks, sucks this way even worse. UM,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: horrendous second half. I have be better. You've gotta be better.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Comes down to my shoulders, and my shoulders only making
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the right decisions, making the right throws, UMM, putting our
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: best foot forward in practice. And this since this one's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: gonna suck watching UM only ways forward. We gotta gotta
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: find a way to put despondence and a let affect
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: our next one. Yeah, and it sucks in the standings
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: as well for the bills. More of that in a second.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You know, we've seen kirk Cousins take everyone's chains and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: go shirtless on the ride home, dancing on the plane
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: back to Minneapolis, Patrick Peterson doing the kirk Cousins. Can
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: we call this the kirk Cousins now on the way
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: home as the Vikings get their statement when many of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you had doubted the Vikings. I'm not saying you two,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but many of you at home had doubted the Vikings.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Many at this desk had doubt of the Vikings. Signed
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: me up now, Mark Ross, Tom Ella Sero. I believe
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the Vikings and Tom. I don't know if it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the defense at Patrick Peterson forcing turnovers and key moments,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: or the fact that Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson weekend
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: week out when they need it most, Tom have found away,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: whether it's on fourth and eighteen or in the red zone,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: or whenever they make the play. Lander. Let's start by
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: talking about Justin Jefferson ten catches for a career high
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: hundred ninety three yards yesterday and a touchdown. He's the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: fastest player to four thousand yards, matching the likes of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Lance Allworth and Odell Beckham Jr. We are watching greatness
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and it seems like a game like that probably brings
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the rest of the country around something that I was
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: saying back in the summer, which is this guy might
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be the best wide receiver in the NFL, and it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: changing the way that the Vikings play offense. Kevin O'Connell
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: talked about it after that game that on the fourth
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and eight team play, this wasn't something about scheming things up.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: He told Kirk cousin, just give our guy a chance
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to make a play. Well, he makes one of the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: most spectacular plays that we've ever seen. Dalvin Cook ripped
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: off a huge touchdown run in this game. You're seeing
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Vikings offense start to find their identity here and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, They're not perfect.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: They gave up close to five yards. I'll be into
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a high powered offense with Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: company here, but they had four takeaways, including Patrick Peterson's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: interception that sealed it. Within that game, they can continue
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to improve here, They're players still play in these one
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: score games week in week out. If they can continue
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to improve, there's no telling how tough they could potentially become.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: January the seventh straight wins by one score, So we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: saying eight points. Calling that one score a touchdown at
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a two point conversion is the longest in NFL history.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It ties the streak the Chiefs Patrick Mahomes did it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: back in so they have done it in the fourth quarter.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: The Bills have not partly marked because Josh Allen keeps
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: throwing red zone picks. And we've seen this movie where
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they're great in the first half and they get sloppy
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in the second half and it comes back to kill him,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: no question, Andrew, and we've seen this movie with Josh Allen.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And remember a few weeks ago against the Packers in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the second half when he threw those two bad interceptions,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But we just kind of laughed at off saying, oh,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: they were just just sleep walking through the second half.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Josh just made mistakes. Then last week against the Jets,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: he throws two more horrendous interceptions where he has no
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: one to blame but himself, And you're saying what is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he doing? And then yesterday he throws two more interceptions
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: where clear clear throws and he just throws it to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a defender to go along with the fumble, trying to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: get out the end zone. So that's the concern with
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen is that, Okay, you have these mind blowing
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: mistakes and turnovers and you'd say, well, if this wasn't
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in his d NA, we could laugh it off. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: he's been this Josh Allen at the start of his
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: career and people wondered if he would ever ascend to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be an elite quarterback because he had all these turnovers
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that looked really bad. So that's what the word he is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Is he going to revert back to that Josh Allen?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Is this who he really is? Or is he the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen who straightened it out for last season season
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and a half and played well. That's what the Bills
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have to be really looking at. And as you mentioned
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: about the Vikings winning close games, another part of this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: DNA with the Bills and Josh Allen is that they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: don't win these close games either blow teams out things
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: are going well front runners, or once they get tight,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they lose so that has to be a lot of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: ankst with the Bills. Now. I think they will straighten
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it out. But if we put another game together like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: this with Josh Allen, teams know this is always there
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with him, get him in pressure situations, will he finally
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: step up? Andrew? Look, it's not as if they can't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: win close games. They've done it on the road this
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: year at Baltimore at Kansas City, two good teams that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: are in the playoffs today if the season were to end.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But it is an overall trend here, obviously, and with
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that loss, the Bills go from the one seed, the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: prohibitive favorite in the a f C a couple of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and they're now all the way down at
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the sixth seed and they would have to go to tennis.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: See again, hypothetical here through ten weeks of the NFL season.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you Mark, thank you Tom. Both back
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: shortly here, let's get to two. A tongue of below
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: on the Dolphins, because they are at seven and three
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and the two seed now, and they barely broke a sweat,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: considering it was eighty five degrees yesterday in Miami in
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: their win over the Browns. They are now seven and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: oh in games that to a starts and finishes. Uh,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this was just a whole hum performance for two of
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: thirty two to eighty five and three and the team
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: ran for a buck ninety five. Jeff Wilson and Rheem
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Moster both get in the end zone and this is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a laugher at the end thirty nine to seven team.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Every single team from the a f C East is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs right now, all four of them. We
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: have never had all four teams from a division make
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the postseason. Now. We have had four teams make it
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: when there were five team divisions, but never in this
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: format have we gone four for four. The a f
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: C East is trying to do that. Remember how we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: thought the a f C West or the NFC West
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: might be the best division in the football. It is
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: clearly clearly the a f C East. Tom Ian Rappaport
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with me now part of the n f C West
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: issues obviously as injuries, the Niners, the Rams here, Uh
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they're adding up Ian. What do we know about Cooper
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: cups ankle injury late in the game That looked pretty bad. Yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I look pretty painful. Genre actually saying yeah, look pretty bad.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He is having more tests today to determine just how
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: serious and significant it is. It seemed Andrew like the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams did not have the worst case scenario
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup. No break, it seems like, which is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: probably good news you look at the way it lands.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It seems to be one where in the wrong situation
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't end up being a fracture. Not the case here.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That is good news, but still expected to miss some
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: time and the worry is that it is some sort
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of a high ankle sprain. We'll see how severe that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is and the m r I obviously is going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: tell more, but that is at least what they're looking
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: at right now, So more information as it comes in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. Likely he is going to miss uh the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: coming games. Meanwhile, speaking of players who are going to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: miss games, Chase Young not going to play tonight, not
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be activated off the pu plis for the Washington Commanders.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You know, there was some hope that possibly he maybe
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: as his three week practice window wraps up, just not
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: quite ready for tonight's game. Sounds like next week is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: probably when you're going to see Chase Young. Part of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the reason why they practice indoors last week. They weren't
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: able to get him out on the field doing as
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: much as they wanted. So fast forward to next week
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and then you'll probably see chasing all right, and Taylor
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Heineke is still the Commander's quarterback tonight with Carson Wentz
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Talking quarterbacks here, Tom, let's talk about
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Carolina because p J. Walker came out of that game
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Thursday night in the rain with an ankle sprain, which
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: means they're making a change again. That's right, Andrew, And
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: this is a bit of a surprise because p J.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Walker finished out that game. Team gutted it out, as
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes put it today. But the expectation he's not
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: going to be ready to go, which means Baker Mayfield
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: gets another opportunity to beat the Panthers starting quarterback and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it will be Sam Dartled serving as Mayfield's back up
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: this week against the Ravens. Now Walker did say he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: hopes he can practice this week, Mills Wilkes making very
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: clear that they're not going to go that direction. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a team that is still hanging in the NFC South
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: playoff picture at this stage and now Baker Mayfield, who
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: entered the season as the starter, gets another opportunity. Meanwhile,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in Houston, Texans coach love Me Smith said he did
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not give any thought and will not at this stage
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: give any thought to Benjing Davis Mills amidst another loss.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The Texans are a team that is the worst record
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. They've got one of the worst offenses
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. But Lovely Smith has been a strong
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: supporter of Davis Mills going back all the way through
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the off season. Lovey Smith did not even want to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: bring in a veteran to compete with Davis Mills for
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of that job. As love You put it yesterday, quarterback
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is a different position, and frankly, when the other options
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: on the roster are going to Kyle Allen or Jeff
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: drisk will not some young recent draft pick you're trying
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to evaluate for the future. Probably not a surprise that
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: they're gonna see whether Davis Mills can play through this
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and be better on the other show up with eyes
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: on next year. Right now, the Texans do have the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: first pick in the three draft at one, seven and one,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and they hold the Browns first round pick as well.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Coming up next How about this highlight from Matt Ryan.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: This run was longer than any career rushing game he
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: had ever had. Indie with an amazing story. Next. All right,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you're watching NFL now NFL Network. Chiefs coming off the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: big win over the Titans on Sunday, I Patrick Mahomes
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: entered the game against the Jaguars, leading the NFL with
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: twenty one touchdown receptions. He would throw four where twenty
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: one touchdown passes to get to twenty five. We show
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you this can areas Tony touchdown because you see twenty
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: point four in the next Gen Stats era powered by AWS.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That is the most open any receiver has been in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: six years. Ever, like six years ever. Twenty point four
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Mahomes throws four touchdowns. He leads the NFL with twenty
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: five on the season, and the Chiefs are the number
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: one seed in the a f C Today after ten weeks,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill back after missing a couple of games. They
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: went into their bag of tricks and they beat the Broncos.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Flee flicker Nick Westbrook a Kina had two touchdowns on
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the day. This is a sixty three yard score here
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that gave the Titans the lead fourteen to tan. Russell
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Wilson and the Broncos had been out to the early lead.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Then the old line injuries piled up, and then Russell
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and the offense stalled. The veteran Terrence Mitchell with the interception.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Titans win again seventeen to ten, bouncing back after the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Sunday night loss to the Chiefs. All right, say what
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you want about Jeff Saturday. Everyone likes Jeff Saturday, the person,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the process, whatever. It was interesting, however, to suddenly see
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Matt Ryan back on the football field. I thought. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: thought Ellen Ger was going to start the rest of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the year. And they do have some playmakers. Harris Campbell touchdown,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Hair Colts leading the Raiders five to twenty. Derek Carr
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in position to win the final minute, fourth down, no
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: flag intended for Davante Adams knocked away Stevon Gilmour. Jeff
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Saturday on a Sunday. It was a Sunday fun day
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: for Saturday. I can't tell you how proud I am.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'll beat you. Every one of you, coaches, players, staff,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: everybody stepped up. All three phases man things we talked about.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: All offense ran it for over two hundred through it
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: for over two hundred defense shut twenty eight down seventy
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: seven yards. Russian had to make the playoffs seven and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the end, what we do they can play makeup who
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: goes hardest, the longest man. That's how this game is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a side the most physical football team one Today. It's
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: been a tough week, but we believe, we know and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: who you are, Jeff, and congratulations. I know you will
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: treasure this My brother appreciation a Jeff Saturday Sunday fun Day,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Mark Ross. We've spent a lot of time talking about
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: everything that went on in Indianapolis over the past week.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Here I found it most interesting that Sam Ellinger was
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: announced as the starting quarterback yet again Monday night. It's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: part of the reason I think we get all a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: great Frank Wright got fired, had to start the kid.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It kind of all fell apart. Matt Ryan, granted was injured.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, Matt Ryan comes back, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what do you know? And I think because those decisions
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that were made without much thought or much process in it,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and in the middle of those the decisions is who
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: was in the middle of that locker? Roobe is the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the owner, Jim Mercy, and he has made these decisions
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: first to fire the offensive coordinator Marcus Brady, and then
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to insert Ellinger, and then to fire Frank Reich. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see if if Frank Wright
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: would have been able to keep Matt Ryan in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: lineup for the game after he got part with the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Washington game where they had to start Ellinger, if he
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: would have won that game, would he still be the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: head coach. And that's the the issue that you have
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: with an owner. There's different levels of ownership involved. The
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: owners that are completely out of it to something in between,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and some that are heavily involved. And and now you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: see this with too involved with the New York GIHN.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: John Marra, when the best owners of the NFL won
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, never saw him talk in the locker
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: room like this or give out game balls. He hired
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: his executives, he hired his coaches and let them do
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: their job. So going forward now with the co colts
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: with Jeff Saturday, Look, this is nothing personal about Jeff Saturday.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Everybody talking about Jeff Saturday. It's about the process and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: what's right and who deserves jobs or head coaching jobs
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. And it seems like Jim Urse gave
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: him this job because he was his buddy. So moving forward,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: how much more involvement is Jim Erst gonna have it?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: If Jeff Saturday goes out there next week and Matt
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Ryan's bad, is he getting pulled? So that's what you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: have to worry about the rest of the year with
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: this Colts team. Where at what point does it end?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So there are four or five and one Now, I'm
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not putting him in the postseason. They get the Eagles
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: next week Philadelphia right now and defeated before tonight's came
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but Mark the seventh seed in the a f C
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is held by a five and four New England Patriots team.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor came back yesterday. I'm sure Frank Rank would
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: have loved you know him, He did have him for
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a while, don't get me wrong, But I mean, could
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: they could they could they actually get it together? Yeah?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, Andrew. This is just there's too
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: many other good teams in the n f C FC.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So they just mentioned those four teams right there, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: everything has to go perfect for the Colts When they
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: had the perfect get right game yesterday against the Raiders,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: who we can talk about later. They might be in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: worse shape than the Colts. And we looked at it
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: all weeks. At the Raiders lose this game, something's got
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a change there. There's a lot of dysfunction going on
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: there with the Raiders. So the Colts definitely had the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: perfect match up yesterday to get right. The truth serum
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: will be the rest of the season when they have
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to play next week right away. All right, now, you're
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: playing a legit team, maybe the best team in the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: NFL with the Eagles, and then the schedule down the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: line for one game for one day. Yes, everything came
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: together for the Colts, but there's a lot of season left.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That's when you'll really tell what this team is about
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: or if this was just a one off yesterday. Andrew
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: jim Trot a good piece right now in NFL dot
