- 0:46Speaker 1: Another wild Sunday in the NFL. I'm going to talk
- 0:49Speaker 1: to the biggest games over the roughly 14.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Hours of football action that kept us captivated.
- 0:55Speaker 1: But things started early in London with an important matchup
- 0:58Speaker 1: for the Eagles and Jags. Philly lost their last two
- 1:00Speaker 1: games after starting the season with two wins and the
- 1:03Speaker 1: Jags Rolling and wanted to start their back-to-back set of
- 1:08Speaker 1: London games with a win, the Eagles led with less
- 1:11Speaker 1: than four minutes to play when the Jags scored a touchdown.
- 1:15Speaker 1: So Jalen Hurts drove the Eagles down, managing the clock
- 1:18Speaker 1: to retake the lead on a Jake Elliott field goal
- 1:21Speaker 1: with eight seconds left.
- 1:24Speaker 2: For most teams, that's ballgame. Win secured. Not the Eagles.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Amir Abdullah returned the kickoff 53 yards in seven seconds,
- 1:31Speaker 1: and Cam Little drilled the game-winning field goal ripping out
- 1:34Speaker 1: the hearts of Eagles players and fans. Head coach Nick
- 1:39Speaker 1: Sirianni said, I didn't make the right decision and I
- 1:41Speaker 1: lost us that game.
- 1:42Speaker 2: That's what I said to our guys.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And what hurts is, you know, the guys fought so
- 1:45Speaker 1: hard and then I didn't make the right decision that
- 1:47Speaker 1: I should have made at the end of the game.
- 1:49Speaker 2: And it cost us the game. I put that fully
- 1:50Speaker 2: on me.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Sirianni chose not to kick the ball out of bounds
- 1:54Speaker 1: after taking the lead late, which would have prevented Abdullah's
- 1:57Speaker 1: long kickoff return that sent up the game winning field goal.
- 2:03Speaker 1: These type of situational football decisions just really can't happen
- 2:11Speaker 1: at the level that Serie A and the Eagles are at.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I know he has a Super Bowl, but Philly is
- 2:17Speaker 1: a very impatient place.
- 2:21Speaker 2: They're dealing with a ton of injuries.
- 2:25Speaker 1: The Cowboys recently dealt with a lot of questions when
- 2:29Speaker 1: it came to late game decisions. against the Ravens in Rio.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Everyone is going to be talking about the Commanders-Giants overtime game,
- 2:42Speaker 1: the time running out with Jaden Daniels, the ball in
- 2:45Speaker 1: his hands. I mean, I put that solely and squarely
- 2:50Speaker 1: on coaching. So there just was a lot of really
- 2:54Speaker 1: poor late game decisions this weekend. Obviously, the Dallas game
- 2:59Speaker 1: was not this weekend, but When you're talking about Philadelphia,
- 3:02Speaker 1: like you guys are battling overcoming an insane amount of injuries.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Will Shipley was ruled out of the game. So Saquon
- 3:09Speaker 1: Barkley is hurt. Tank Bigsby is hurt. Shipley got the start.
- 3:14Speaker 2: He had to go out.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Damon Pierce took over and Carson Steele is backing him up.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Shipley was on the injury report last week. Michael Carter,
- 3:24Speaker 1: the second was out. Jay Hunt was out. Tyler Steen
- 3:29Speaker 1: was out. Monte Smith, Hollywood Brown, Jonathan Greenard, Drew Kendall,
- 3:36Speaker 1: Marcus Epps, like they're dealing with a ton of injuries.
- 3:40Speaker 1: So for them to battle to that point, to be
- 3:43Speaker 1: able to have the game within reach and still not
- 3:47Speaker 1: get it done is extra frustrating because they had that
- 3:50Speaker 1: game in the bag. So their next three games are Carolina,
- 3:54Speaker 1: Dallas on Monday Night Football, and at Washington on Sunday
- 3:57Speaker 1: Night Football for the Eagles. The Jags, who are now 4-1,
- 4:00Speaker 1: have Houston and London. They have a bye week and
- 4:03Speaker 1: then Indy. So huge win for the Jags to set
- 4:06Speaker 1: them up for their next string of games. In the afternoon,
- 4:10Speaker 1: the super competitive NFC West gave us a great game
- 4:13Speaker 1: with the Niners.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Back and forth win over Seattle, 32-29.
- 4:20Speaker 1: An example of San Francisco finding a way to win
- 4:22Speaker 1: despite having a lot of injuries. The Niners scored on
- 4:25Speaker 1: a sack fumble recovery in the end zone just before
- 4:27Speaker 1: the half and lost Trey Greenlaw after he head-butted a
- 4:31Speaker 1: Seahawks player in the sideline situations. Mike Evans and Brock
- 4:34Speaker 1: Purdy put on a show in the second half. Evans
- 4:37Speaker 1: had 113 of Purdy's 189 passing yards, and Seattle got
- 4:42Speaker 1: a decent performance from third-string running back Emmanuel Wilson. Zach
- 4:47Speaker 1: Charbonnet is out for the season and Jadarian Price is
- 4:49Speaker 1: on IR. But four turnovers were too much for Sam
- 4:53Speaker 1: Darnold and the Seahawks offense to overcome.
- 4:55Speaker 2: They usually are. And Kyle Shanahan just continues to find
- 4:59Speaker 2: a way to win.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Debo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Kyle Juszczyk, they just keep adjusting
- 5:07Speaker 1: and For once, actually, because the Niners are always dealing
- 5:11Speaker 1: with injuries, they're finding ways to win despite having to
- 5:14Speaker 1: deal with the injuries. So we were just talking about
- 5:16Speaker 1: the Eagles not finding ways to win despite dealing with
- 5:18Speaker 1: a lot of injuries.
- 5:19Speaker 2: The Niners are.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Maybe just so used to it now that they're really
- 5:22Speaker 1: starting to adjust to it. They have the Commanders and
- 5:26Speaker 1: Falcons coming up, so they could potentially hit Week 8.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Not that either of those games are, you know, walk
- 5:34Speaker 2: in the park's.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But if they continue to play the way that they are,
- 5:37Speaker 1: being at 5-0 now, the worst they'll go into the week,
- 5:40Speaker 1: the bye week, week eight, would be 5-2, which is excellent,
- 5:44Speaker 1: considering where they are. If they get another one, it'll
- 5:47Speaker 1: be 6-1 and potentially 7-0, which is an incredible place
- 5:50Speaker 1: to be, especially for any team, but especially a team
- 5:53Speaker 1: that is dealing with the level.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Of injuries that they have.
- 5:55Speaker 1: On the Seattle side, they're two games back, possibly tied
- 5:58Speaker 1: with the Rams, if Sean McVay can beat the Bills
- 6:01Speaker 1: on Monday night. And they have a tough stretch coming up.
- 6:04Speaker 1: They're at Denver on Thursday night football, then Kansas City
- 6:07Speaker 1: on Sunday night football, and then Chicago on Monday night football.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And they are two and three. So they are struggling
- 6:14Speaker 1: and things could potentially get a lot worse. Finally, let's
- 6:18Speaker 1: talk about college football. It was a college football-y weekend.
- 6:22Speaker 1: A lot happened. And now with the first playoff standings
- 6:27Speaker 1: less than a month away on November 3rd, there was
- 6:31Speaker 1: quite a few switch-ups at the top. So Georgia is
- 6:33Speaker 1: now number one in the country, followed by Notre Dame,
- 6:37Speaker 1: Miami at three, Ohio State at four, Indiana at five,
- 6:41Speaker 1: Alabama at six, Texas at seven, BYU, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Utah, and, okay,
- 6:47Speaker 1: UCLA at.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Five and O.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Texas fell, though, from first to seventh after losing to Oklahoma,
- 6:54Speaker 1: LSU dropped seven, from the top 10 all the way
- 6:56Speaker 1: to 22nd after getting upset by Kentucky on a gutsy
- 6:59Speaker 1: two-point conversion. And Georgia claimed the top spot after a
- 7:02Speaker 1: close win over one loss, Alabama. That Georgia-Alabama game was
- 7:08Speaker 1: a thrill to watch as someone who has nothing in
- 7:13Speaker 1: that game. Really, just a weekend of matchups that lived
- 7:18Speaker 1: up to the hype.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Really, really tough ending for Georgia.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Alabama, you never want things to end on a, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: a last second call, especially someone losing their composure. But
- 7:37Speaker 1: there was also, you know, some questionable calls in that game.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I really don't want to get into the referees. I'm
- 7:45Speaker 1: really tired of talking about referees, honestly. And there was,
- 7:48Speaker 1: you know, some considerable decision making that you have to consider.
- 7:52Speaker 1: when you're talking about Bama and Georgia, the Texas loss,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you know, those things are going to happen. I don't,
- 8:00Speaker 1: I don't get two on Texas Manning through three touchdowns,
- 8:04Speaker 1: but he did have two costly interceptions and he, they
- 8:09Speaker 1: also had two late chances and missed wide, right on
- 8:11Speaker 1: a 53 yard field goal attempt. So don't turn the
- 8:14Speaker 1: ball over. That's a big matchup against Oklahoma. They didn't
- 8:17Speaker 1: score an offensive touchdown to the fourth, fourth quarter. But
- 8:21Speaker 1: they did win seven games in a row, four.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Against ranked teams.
- 8:24Speaker 1: They've been number one since their big comeback to beat
- 8:27Speaker 1: Ohio State on September 12th. I think, you know, they
- 8:32Speaker 1: got to clean some stuff up, but I don't think
- 8:33Speaker 1: this guy is falling when it comes to Texas.
- 8:35Speaker 2: The LSU loss was crazy, though. That's unacceptable.
- 8:38Speaker 1: I mean, big, big, big stones by head coach Will
- 8:42Speaker 1: Stein for Kentucky to go for the win there, although
- 8:46Speaker 1: he did.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Make the same call, the same.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Result the week before in a win over South Carolina,
- 8:50Speaker 1: but the Wildcats are now ranked 16th. So a half
- 8:53Speaker 1: a dozen spots above LSU. Kiffin is going to have
- 8:57Speaker 1: to get some things together over there. Tigers sit at
- 9:01Speaker 1: four and two and outside the playoff picture, if it
- 9:02Speaker 1: was to start right now and LSU, that is unacceptable.
- 9:06Speaker 2: So pretty exciting weekends.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I think as the weeks go on, things are going
- 9:10Speaker 1: to start getting a whole lot tighter and Texas next
- 9:14Speaker 1: three weeks are Florida, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. LSU's
- 9:18Speaker 1: next three weeks are Mississippi State, Auburn, and Bama. And Georgia,
- 9:23Speaker 1: who is now 6-0, Auburn, Dubai, and then Florida. So
- 9:29Speaker 1: college football continues on with a very, very exciting weekend.
