- 0:00Speaker 1: Cowboys fans must feel like Natasha Lyonne on Russian Doll.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Right when they think they're about to see something new,
- 0:06Speaker 1: they find themselves right back in front of the mirror
- 0:08Speaker 1: in the bathroom. Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta
- 0:12Speaker 1: find a way not to lose this game.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Prescott under pressure, fires over the middle, it's deflected and
- 0:19Speaker 2: picked off!
- 0:20Speaker 1: They are in Green Bay, a city feeling a lot
- 0:23Speaker 1: better this week. When you have a hangover, they say
- 0:25Speaker 1: the cure is a greasy breakfast. In their case, the
- 0:28Speaker 1: hair-of-the-dog drink of choice was a smackdown of Ben Johnson
- 0:32Speaker 1: and the Chicago Bears.
- 0:33Speaker 3: And I love going deep!
- 0:36Speaker 4: Watson!
- 0:36Speaker 3: Touchdown!
- 0:38Speaker 1: Green Bay heads into this tilt off a season-high 31 points,
- 0:41Speaker 1: brought their season average up to 20 a game, so
- 0:44Speaker 1: that tells you how things were going. and they were
- 0:47Speaker 1: only four for 12 on third down, but man, it's
- 0:49Speaker 1: how they went about it. Jordan Love with some good
- 0:52Speaker 1: old-fashioned Al Davis deep balls. They went for over seven
- 0:56Speaker 1: yards per play. Love throwing for over 360 yards on
- 1:00Speaker 1: a hefty 11.8 yards per attempt, a rate over 130.
- 1:05Speaker 3: Looking for Watson, and the end zone, he's got it! Touchdown,
- 1:10Speaker 3: a spectacular catch made by Watson! Oh my gosh!
- 1:16Speaker 1: Love, two TDs for the fifth straight game, his third
- 1:19Speaker 1: game with 310 plus yards. Love should love to get
- 1:23Speaker 1: a game in versus that Dallas secondary, allowing the highest
- 1:27Speaker 1: rate to quarterbacks this season, allowing passes to be completed
- 1:30Speaker 1: over 70% of the time, giving up over eight yards
- 1:34Speaker 1: per attempt, haven't picked off one quarterback. gave up a
- 1:37Speaker 1: 1-10 rate to Jalen Daniels. He looked like a five-year
- 1:41Speaker 1: vet when he was supposed to be looking like an
- 1:43Speaker 1: undrafted rookie making his first ever start.
- 1:45Speaker 3: To the end zone, yes! Irving for the touchdown.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Daniels only threw for 189 yards, 91 of those yards
- 1:54Speaker 1: allowed by cornerback Deron Bland, who knocked down one pass,
- 1:58Speaker 1: but it was thrown to his chest with nobody in
- 2:00Speaker 1: front of him for a pick six. He's having a
- 2:03Speaker 1: rough season so far.
- 2:04Speaker 2: And Bland probably would have had a clear shot at
- 2:08Speaker 2: the end zone.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Alice Cowboys ball still in full effect last week. It
- 2:12Speaker 1: was supposed to be different under Christian Parker. They gave
- 2:15Speaker 1: up 24 points to an offense that hadn't put up
- 2:17Speaker 1: 21 points in a game. They've given up 24-plus and
- 2:20Speaker 1: four of five, allowing 27 per game on average, only
- 2:25Speaker 1: have two takeaways all year, have been terrible on third down,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and not very good in the red zone.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Just like that, big underdogs in this one take the lead.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Cowboys pass rush, five sacks in five games. One last Thursday,
- 2:41Speaker 1: so kept their average at an even one per game.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Love took two sacks on 31 pass attempts. Pass protection
- 2:47Speaker 1: hasn't hurt them much in their last three straight games though.
- 2:50Speaker 1: If Dallas doesn't hurry them, then fire up the air
- 2:53Speaker 1: raid sirens. Christian Watson, with 143 yards and two scores
- 2:57Speaker 1: versus Chicago, hauled in a 53-yard bomb for a TD.
- 3:01Speaker 1: He scored in four of their five games, two 140-plus-yard games,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and three over 95, seems to have put on the
- 3:09Speaker 1: WR1 crown for them.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Three plays, you air it out on the left.
- 3:14Speaker 5: You air it out on the right, and then it
- 3:16Speaker 5: turns out airing it out in the middle was the move.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Or wide receiver one if you're not into the whole
- 3:20Speaker 1: brevity thing. Wide out one or Reno maybe, but he's
- 3:24Speaker 1: not the only guy on the other end of some
- 3:25Speaker 1: of Love's long balls. Matthew Golden caught a 50-yard pass
- 3:29Speaker 1: himself as part of a 123-yard day, second 100-yard game
- 3:32Speaker 1: for him. also has three games with 95 plus.
- 3:37Speaker 6: We've seen some unbelievable throws and catches between Love and
- 3:42Speaker 6: his receivers today.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And tight end Tucker Kraft in on the action as
- 3:45Speaker 1: well with a 46-yard reception, 64 yards. That trio starting
- 3:50Speaker 1: to feel a little Beastie Boys-esque.
- 3:52Speaker 6: Leading by 13, Love going deep.
- 3:56Speaker 3: It is caught wide open. It's Kraft.
- 3:58Speaker 1: If they could just get a mix master Mike in
- 4:01Speaker 1: the backfield, their ground game still an issue even in
- 4:04Speaker 1: their win. Only 70 yards on just 2.7 a carry.
- 4:07Speaker 1: This matchup features one of the most anemic rush attacks
- 4:10Speaker 1: of the season against maybe the worst rush defense in
- 4:13Speaker 1: the league so far. No team is giving up more
- 4:16Speaker 1: than Dallas' 168 yards per game. They're allowing 5.1 a
- 4:21Speaker 1: carry after giving up 165 yards on 7.9 a run
- 4:25Speaker 1: to Bucky Irving.
- 4:26Speaker 2: This way and that way and out in front. And
- 4:29Speaker 2: this half begins with Bucky Irving.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Dallas faced an undrafted rookie quarterback, an offense that hadn't
- 4:35Speaker 1: accounted for three TDs worth of points in a game.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Refs flagged their opponent 14 times. The opposing head coach
- 4:43Speaker 1: inexplicably left the door open for them to make a comeback,
- 4:47Speaker 1: and they still lost the game. It's a lot to
- 4:50Speaker 1: try and rebound from this week.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Tipped.
- 4:53Speaker 2: And in the air and picks off!
- 4:56Speaker 1: Dak Prescott coming off a two INT game, the second
- 4:59Speaker 1: of course created when it deflected off Jake Ferguson's hands,
- 5:02Speaker 1: he finished with a sub 70 rate, he was blitzed
- 5:04Speaker 1: over 40% of his throws, but he didn't take a
- 5:07Speaker 1: single sack on 42 pass attempts, finished with a lot
- 5:11Speaker 1: of incomplete passes, going 24 of 42. Throw is.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Incomplete. Zion McCollum covering on the play.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Prescott, hearing it from Uber drivers in the aftermath, not
- 5:22Speaker 1: to his face, of course, they just gave him a
- 5:24Speaker 1: low rating on the app, I think, mumbled his displeasure
- 5:27Speaker 1: under his breath as Dak was getting.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Out of the car.
- 5:30Speaker 1: But now he's on the Green Bay secondary, which is
- 5:32Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to a 76 rating, fourth lowest in 2026,
- 5:37Speaker 1: just 6.4 yards per attempt, so they've been tough on
- 5:41Speaker 1: more than just backup QBs. But yes, a shift against
- 5:49Speaker 1: Tyson Bajent and Case Keenum helped put some shine on
- 5:51Speaker 1: their five-game numbers, held them to a sub-40 rate, picked
- 5:55Speaker 1: them off three times without allowing a TD, and bagged
- 5:59Speaker 1: them up four times on 40 pass attempts. Devontae Wyatt
- 6:02Speaker 1: with two sacks. That's 14 total for the season for
- 6:05Speaker 1: the team, too.
- 6:07Speaker 3: And they lost four defenders. Ball comes loose as Keenan
- 6:10Speaker 3: was hit.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Packers held every Bears pass catcher to fewer than 50 yards.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Of course, Dak and his two wide-out amigos will be
- 6:18Speaker 1: a bigger challenge this week. CeeDee Lamb put up two
- 6:21Speaker 1: games worth of stats week four and then almost nothing
- 6:24Speaker 1: week five, finishing with nine yards. Ferguson only 19 yards.
- 6:28Speaker 1: George Pickens ate, though. 130 yards into TD, he's gone
- 6:33Speaker 1: for 75-plus yards, three straight.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Reaching up, and you talked about it. Pickens would have
- 6:39Speaker 3: caught it, and he does.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Ryan Flanoy, 90 yards, his first big game of the year.
- 6:44Speaker 3: And it's hauled in, and the catch is made. Finally,
- 6:47Speaker 3: some fireworks.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Javonte Williams has done plenty of scoring so far this season,
- 6:52Speaker 1: scored for the sixth time.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Went right through that spot occupied by Tyler Smith. Back
- 6:57Speaker 2: off the injured list.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Williams has not been very efficient, though, under four yards
- 7:01Speaker 1: per carry in four or five games. Green Bay gave
- 7:05Speaker 1: up 4.8 yards per carry and a TD to DeAndre Swift,
- 7:09Speaker 1: only faced nine of his runs, though, held Roshon Johnson
- 7:12Speaker 1: to 1.2 a try on his five attempts, sitting on
- 7:15Speaker 1: a 4.1 per carry average after five games. Seattle Seahawks
- 7:20Speaker 1: headed out of town this week, hoping the Zebras in
- 7:23Speaker 1: Denver maybe know how planes of glass work in case
- 7:26Speaker 1: it should come up again.
- 7:28Speaker 4: That sideline and a plane of glass going up, where
- 7:31Speaker 4: does it cross?
- 7:35Speaker 1: Key matchup between two 3-2 teams, Broncos climbing back over
- 7:39Speaker 1: the 500 mark last week behind its defense, which looked
- 7:43Speaker 1: more like the D they were expecting ahead of the season.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Broncos faced a beat-up Chargers offense, missing both starting tackles
- 7:55Speaker 1: and two starting wide receivers, but their defense had to
- 7:58Speaker 1: go without two starting corners, so holding L.A. to 17 points,
- 8:02Speaker 1: only one red zone trip, and to fewer than four
- 8:04Speaker 1: yards per play, was still commendable. Held Justin Herbert to
- 8:08Speaker 1: 121 yards, a sub-70 rate, to just five yards per attempt,
- 8:13Speaker 1: picked him off, their holding quarterbacks to a sub-80 rate
- 8:17Speaker 1: for the season, and and to the third lowest completion percentage.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Now they take on Sam Darnold, who comes in off
- 8:28Speaker 1: a rough outing. Some 12s were starting to mumble Drew
- 8:31Speaker 1: Locke's name afterwards. He has left work with fewer than
- 8:34Speaker 1: 200 yards back-to-back games, 195 last week, threw two INTs
- 8:39Speaker 1: for a sub-65 rating.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Darnold force out of the field. It is intercepted. Renardo Green.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Just a poor read by Sam.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Seattle's offense has put up 29-plus points in three straight games,
- 8:52Speaker 1: their 26-point-per-game average, eighth best in 2026.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Smith and J-Bub makes a move for a first down
- 8:59Speaker 2: and more.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Touchdown.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That 29 spot last week, kind of deceptive though. They
- 9:04Speaker 1: were given some short fields on three takeaways. They went
- 9:08Speaker 1: three for 12 on third down, only averaged 4.2 yards
- 9:11Speaker 1: a play, and turned the ball over four times themselves.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Didn't generate much on the ground, ending the game with
- 9:18Speaker 1: a 3.4 a carry clip. Both their backs lost fumbles.
- 9:22Speaker 7: And Darnold took five sacks on 29 pass attempts, faced pressure.
- 9:26Speaker 1: 45% of his throws, And they weren't dealing with Nick
- 9:34Speaker 1: Bosa either. Guard Gray Zabel was tagged with allowing three sacks,
- 9:38Speaker 1: according to NextGenStats, a 22% pressure rate. That's brutal for
- 9:43Speaker 1: a guard. Now, Seattle has only taken 11 sacks all year.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Those were the first three sacks allowed by Zabel, so
- 9:54Speaker 1: it was out of character. But now here comes Denver's
- 9:57Speaker 1: pass rush. They dropped Herbert five times. on just 24
- 10:01Speaker 1: pass attempts. Nick Bonito with a pair of sacks, giving
- 10:04Speaker 1: him three for the year. Zach Allen with his fourth
- 10:07Speaker 1: of the season. Team has 13 over five games.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Herbert brought down. Ball is free. The Broncos got over there.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Denver's beat-up secondary held every Chargers pass catcher to fewer
- 10:18Speaker 1: than 40 yards. But they could really use PS2 and
- 10:22Speaker 1: or Riley Moss this week as they have JSN to
- 10:25Speaker 1: contend with. 100 plus yards in four or five games.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba, a touchdown plus in four or five.
- 10:31Speaker 1: 102 yards and a score last week.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Here's Donald from his own end zone. Let's one fly. Jackson,
- 10:37Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba. He's got it.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Did have that huge drop late. Not the perfect pass,
- 10:43Speaker 1: but he's that good that it was weird to see.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Once again, nobody else did much. Rashid Shahid, Cooper Cupp, A.J. Barner,
- 10:50Speaker 1: all averaging less than 26 yards per game. As to
- 10:54Speaker 1: Denver's rush defense, big picture. They're allowing 4-7 to carry
- 10:58Speaker 1: and 145 yards a game, so that hasn't been a strength.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Gave up a 42-yard TD run last week and a
- 11:05Speaker 1: few big scampers to Herbert.
- 11:06Speaker 3: Vidal slicing through. Vidal still going. What a run!
- 11:11Speaker 1: Seattle's defense also struggled with the run last week, gave
- 11:15Speaker 1: up a touchdown and 6.2 yards per carry to CMC,
- 11:18Speaker 1: 68 yards, but only faced 11 McCaffrey attempts. Defense got
- 11:23Speaker 1: dinged for 25 points, allowed the Niners to convert all
- 11:26Speaker 1: three red zone trips. That's 23 plus points in three straight,
- 11:29Speaker 1: 25 plus points in two of their last three.
- 11:32Speaker 3: McCaffrey sprinting left side with a hole, McCaffrey in!
- 11:37Speaker 1: But look at the body of work here, holding runners
- 11:40Speaker 1: to 3-7 a try, 21 points per game, third toughest
- 11:43Speaker 1: on third down. Stopped San Francisco on 8 of 12
- 11:46Speaker 1: of their third down attempts. They were dealt a number
- 11:49Speaker 1: of short fields by their offense. Still held their offense
- 11:52Speaker 1: to 4.8 yards per play. And that was one of
- 11:55Speaker 1: the best offenses in football. Denver's is not, even with
- 11:59Speaker 1: Sean Payton calling it too. Broncos O was handed the
- 12:02Speaker 1: ball three times by its defense. Only managed 23 points,
- 12:05Speaker 1: going 1 for 12 on third down. two for five
- 12:09Speaker 1: in the red zone, only 3.9 yards per play. They're
- 12:12Speaker 1: not even averaging 20 points a game.
- 12:15Speaker 8: On a third and six, Nix incomplete. Denver will punt
- 12:18Speaker 8: yet again.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Bo Nix is going to start hearing Jarrett Stidham whispers
- 12:22Speaker 1: if he doesn't fire something up soon. 123 yards versus LA,
- 12:26Speaker 1: who was without Derwin James and a starting corner. 4.6
- 12:30Speaker 1: yards per attempt, completion percentage under 63 straight games. He's
- 12:34Speaker 1: finished under 5.7 per attempt in four of five games.
- 12:38Speaker 8: Stepping up, and Nix is brought down. He lost the
- 12:41Speaker 8: ball at the end of the play. The Chargers have it!
- 12:43Speaker 1: Took one sack on 27 pass attempts, has only taken
- 12:47Speaker 1: two sacks in his last four games. He's faced a
- 12:49Speaker 1: below-average pressure rate this season. Seattle's pass rush has a 44%
- 12:54Speaker 1: pressure rate over five games, second highest in the NFL.
- 12:58Speaker 1: 14 bags, sacked the previously unsackable Brock Purdy three times,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Byron Murphy with a pair.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Purdy, pressure again. Purdy has dropped! Byron Murphy!
- 13:10Speaker 1: Purdy was getting MVP talk for how he played his
- 13:13Speaker 1: first four games. Hawks secondary picked him off, held him
- 13:16Speaker 1: under 190 yards into just 6.5 yards per attempt. They
- 13:20Speaker 1: have the second lowest rate in the game, holding quarterbacks
- 13:23Speaker 1: to the fewest yards per attempt at 5-5 per. Have
- 13:27Speaker 1: seven INTs.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Third and seven. Blitz is coming. Purdy. Fired. Picked off.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Nearside is Nehemiah Pritchett.
- 13:35Speaker 1: They did allow 113 yards to Mike Evans and a score.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Josh Jobe on the hook for 112 yards and a TD.
- 13:43Speaker 1: First dude he's had trouble with. Jalen Waddell, Cortland Sutton,
- 13:47Speaker 1: fewer than 20 yards versus L.A., Tight end Evan Ingram,
- 13:50Speaker 1: the only semi-bright spot with 55.
- 13:53Speaker 8: Nix, though, is throwing the long ball, and he drops
- 13:55Speaker 8: it in the bucket! Catch made by Ingram!
- 13:58Speaker 3: J.K.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Dobbins did rush for 68 yards and a score.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Dobbins takes it in for the touchdown! Untouched!
- 14:04Speaker 1: He had to grind again, though. Fourth straight game under
- 14:07Speaker 1: 3-9 a carry. Cleveland Browns losing to the Jets doesn't
- 14:11Speaker 1: have to mean the clock struck midnight already. Still a
- 14:14Speaker 1: 3-2 team, just find those glass slippers and get back
- 14:18Speaker 1: on the dance floor, right? It's head coach Todd Munkin's
- 14:30Speaker 1: first shot to prove he should have been the guy
- 14:32Speaker 1: Baltimore turned to post-Harbaugh. Guy they picked, had to do
- 14:37Speaker 1: some coaching last week without his starting quarterback, finished the
- 14:40Speaker 1: night with their fourth win, puts them back in the
- 14:43Speaker 1: first-place saddle. When very few pick you to win, I
- 14:53Speaker 1: mean nobody on our panel of ten did, and you
- 14:56Speaker 1: pull off a dub without your star quarterback, it doesn't
- 14:58Speaker 1: matter how you do it. Maybe Lamar Jackson can go
- 15:02Speaker 1: this week. If he can't, then Baltimore seems more than
- 15:04Speaker 1: capable of getting another win with Snoop at quarterback.
- 15:08Speaker 7: Snoop going to keep it, try to sneak his way in,
- 15:11Speaker 7: and Huntley's in for a Raven touchdown.
- 15:14Speaker 1: I mean, 30 points, 8 for 15 on third down,
- 15:17Speaker 1: 3 for 4 in the red zone. Tyler Huntley ran
- 15:20Speaker 1: in the game winner in OT, drove the team down
- 15:23Speaker 1: in crunch time to tie the game. Two TD passes
- 15:26Speaker 1: with no picks for a 1-11 rate. Not all that
- 15:29Speaker 1: different than a good game from Lamar.
- 15:31Speaker 7: The goal for the Ravens. Huntley throwing that way. Walker's
- 15:35Speaker 7: got it for the touchdown.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense has been key to their early success. Held
- 15:39Speaker 1: New York to 17 points last week. Third time in
- 15:42Speaker 1: their last four games they haven't surrendered 20 points. Stopped
- 15:45Speaker 1: both the New York's red zone chances. held them to
- 15:48Speaker 1: a meager 4.2 yards per play. They did see.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Linebacker Carson Schwessinger leave the game hurt, He.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Had one of their four sacks of Geno Smith. They
- 16:02Speaker 1: have 16 QB takedowns in five games. Only five teams
- 16:06Speaker 1: have more.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Plenty of time, and he can't get rid of it. Sacked!
- 16:10Speaker 3: Brought down on the play by Sam Kamara.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Huntley did take three sacks on his 32 pass attempts.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Lamar took two to three sacks in three of his
- 16:18Speaker 1: four games, so chalk it up to the nature of
- 16:20Speaker 1: their style.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Huntley. forced off the spot trying.
- 16:24Speaker 7: To get away I pulled him down by the.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Undershirt Brown's secondary held Gino to 182 yards in just
- 16:30Speaker 1: 6.1 per attempt a sub 90 rate which brought their
- 16:34Speaker 1: rating allowed for the year under.
- 16:36Speaker 9: 90 Gino quick pass incomplete Jelani Woods could not hold
- 16:40Speaker 9: on and Schlesinger was there again.
- 16:43Speaker 1: The only jet they struggled with Garrett Wilson who they
- 16:46Speaker 1: gave up a TD to along with 104 yards Standard
- 16:49Speaker 1: fare for Baltimore is three guys see the most targets.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Tight end Mark Andrews, 28 yards last week. His hands, man.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Ever since that drop versus Buffalo, he seems to have
- 17:00Speaker 1: the yips. Rashad Bateman, 62 yards, second 60-plus yard game
- 17:05Speaker 1: of the season.
- 17:06Speaker 7: Huntley throws, Bateman spins, turns, inside the 10, first and goal.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And Zay Flowers, who typically sees the most targets, 53
- 17:14Speaker 1: yards a week ago.
- 17:15Speaker 3: Probably get to him next week.
- 17:16Speaker 7: It gets to Zay Flowers to start this game using
- 17:19Speaker 7: his speed on the edge, a gain of 13.
- 17:21Speaker 1: And of course, Cleveland has the king to contend with.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Derrick Henry rumbled to 102 yards versus Atlanta, 4-3 a carry.
- 17:29Speaker 1: didn't score on the ground, but blasted through on the
- 17:31Speaker 1: game-tying two-point conversion and scored on an 18-yard pass.
- 17:36Speaker 7: Fake to Zay Flowers, it's Henry, looking for blocking. There
- 17:39Speaker 7: goes Henry to the end zone! Derrick Henry!
- 17:42Speaker 1: Brown's defense he goes mano a mano with treated Braylon
- 17:46Speaker 1: Allen like royalty, allowing him to score and go for
- 17:49Speaker 1: 116 yards on 4-8 per run. allowing 4-5 a carry
- 17:54Speaker 1: for the year, so it could spell a big day
- 17:56Speaker 1: for Henry.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Got some room. Braylon Allen at the 10-5, and he
- 18:00Speaker 3: takes it in. Touchdown, Jets.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Swessinger, just one of several Browns on the injury watch list.
- 18:08Speaker 1: He sprained his ankle. So did running back Quinshawn Judkins.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Tackle Titus Howard hurt his knee. Wide receiver Casey Concepcion
- 18:16Speaker 1: suffered a concussion. Judkins, another rough outing before he left.
- 18:19Speaker 3: 44 yards, 3-1 a carry.
- 18:22Speaker 1: That's five straight games under four a carry. Browns offense,
- 18:26Speaker 1: 12 points. Fourth time they haven't been able to hit
- 18:28Speaker 1: 24 or more. Season average down to 18 a game.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Only two teams converting fewer third downs. Four for 16
- 18:36Speaker 1: last week. Only one team worse in the red zone.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Only made it there once versus New York.
- 18:42Speaker 9: Watson, pressure coming, throws end zone, and it's incomplete. Intended
- 18:45Speaker 9: for Boston.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Baltimore holding runners to four a carry in 2026. Gave
- 18:50Speaker 1: up 86 yards on 5-1, a run to Bijan Robinson.
- 18:53Speaker 1: They don't have any super sparkly numbers right now on defense.
- 18:57Speaker 1: They're a middle-of-the-pack D statistically, allowing or holding teams to
- 19:01Speaker 1: 23 points per game, your choice, 23 to Atlanta.
- 19:05Speaker 7: To the right, Penix looking that way, throwing that way, touchdown, pitch!
- 19:10Speaker 1: They're not great on third down. Let the Falcons convert
- 19:13Speaker 1: 9 of 17. Gave up 240 yards to Michael Penix
- 19:17Speaker 1: and a touchdown. No INTs until it was two a time.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Gave up 118 yards to Drake London. Don't have a
- 19:24Speaker 1: ton of sacks, but they did get to Penix three times.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Tavius Robinson nabbed his third. I'll leave it to the
- 19:30Speaker 1: flock to discuss the standing of this defense in the
- 19:32Speaker 1: comments section. They've done enough to be a part of
- 19:35Speaker 1: a 4-1 team.
- 19:36Speaker 7: Can the Falcons offense get anything going? Penix tripped up.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Now they get a chance to go after a dude
- 19:45Speaker 1: who knows grass better than Cheech and Chong. Most baggable
- 19:48Speaker 1: quarterback in the land, Watson took eight sacks at the
- 19:51Speaker 1: hands of Jets pass rushers. Only four blamed on their O-linemen.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Left tackle Spencer Faneau gave up another one. He's allowed
- 19:58Speaker 1: four and a half in five games. Also allowed a 20%
- 20:02Speaker 1: pressure rate. That's ugly. DeJuan Jones allowed a 21% pressure
- 20:07Speaker 1: rate and a sack. Guard Austin Barber gave up two sacks.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Watson has taken 19 for the year now.
- 20:13Speaker 9: Watson, pocket collapsing, and Watson is wrapped up.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Enigbare and Daryl Jackson.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Watson only 155 yards on 4-7, an attempt within all that.
- 20:24Speaker 1: No picks, but he only completed 45% of his passes,
- 20:27Speaker 1: a sub-70 rate. It was rainy, and he had guys
- 20:31Speaker 1: drop a number of passes, one that really hurt. Dog pound,
- 20:34Speaker 1: your turn. Where does that leave your feelings for Watson?
- 20:38Speaker 9: Watson escapes, now throws on the run to the end zone,
- 20:42Speaker 9: and it's incomplete.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Denzel Boston hauled in a 29-yard TD, his third score
- 20:47Speaker 1: of the year, 46-yard game.
- 20:49Speaker 9: Let's see what happens as Watson is actually going deep.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Boston's open. Boston got it. Touchdown.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, 19 yards versus the Jets. Harold Fannin, four.
- 20:59Speaker 1: And then there's Isaiah Bond. He led the team with
- 21:02Speaker 1: 74 yards.
- 21:05Speaker 9: Looking deep down the field for Bond, and he's got
- 21:07Speaker 9: him in stride.
- 21:08Speaker 3: What a throw by Deshaun Watson.
- 21:10Speaker 1: He dropped a couple of passes, the big one we
- 21:12Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, so fans are not pleased with him right now.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And a botched snap on a punt set up New
- 21:18Speaker 1: York's game winner, so they need to clean up their
- 21:21Speaker 1: act on special teams too. It was a game that
- 21:23Speaker 1: had fans breaking out their famed SOB call. Maybe going
- 21:27Speaker 1: back to the underdog status will help. Carolina Panthers hit
- 21:31Speaker 1: the road week six nice and rested and feeling pretty
- 21:35Speaker 1: good about themselves. The last time we saw them, they
- 21:38Speaker 1: were shooking up the NFL world. Bryce Young letting everybody
- 21:42Speaker 1: know he's him.
- 21:43Speaker 7: Young puts it up top for McMillan.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Beat Reed in man coverage. Touchdown, Carolina.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Philadelphia back at home in the States. A faction of
- 21:55Speaker 1: Fly Eagles fly faithful wishing Nick Sirianni would have stayed
- 21:59Speaker 1: behind after his European vacation went worse than the Griswolds.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Why on earth did they not kick that ball into
- 22:06Speaker 1: the back of the end zone at the end of
- 22:07Speaker 1: that game?
- 22:08Speaker 3: High snap. It's down. The kick on the way.
- 22:13Speaker 6: Oh!
- 22:13Speaker 10: And the kick is good!
- 22:15Speaker 3: And the Jaguars win it!
- 22:17Speaker 1: Eagles facing a two and four start for the first
- 22:19Speaker 1: time since 2021. Sirianni's first year as Philadelphia head coach.
- 22:24Speaker 1: He did turn it around that season and went nine
- 22:26Speaker 1: and eight. Still, he'd much rather get back to three
- 22:29Speaker 1: and three this week. would help if half their roster
- 22:32Speaker 1: wasn't hanging with Dr. House, they need Saquon back, they
- 22:35Speaker 1: need Devontae back, and it would help if they could
- 22:38Speaker 1: field an O-line of some sort.
- 22:40Speaker 8: Philadelphia finished Week 5 with two guys who had started
- 22:42Speaker 8: Week 1 for their line.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts only took one sack, but he faced a
- 22:52Speaker 1: fat Albert, 54% pressure rate, was blitzed 42% of his throw.
- 22:57Speaker 1: He's faced the second highest blitz rate in 2026, the
- 23:01Speaker 1: highest pressure rate. Their rush attack went for 1.2 yards
- 23:04Speaker 1: per carry, Only 22 yards. Their starter, Will Shipley, who
- 23:10Speaker 1: was their RB3, left hurt. It was so bad, they
- 23:13Speaker 1: would have been better off not running at all.
- 23:15Speaker 3: It's in the regular year.
- 23:16Speaker 11: Big hit by Josh Hines-Allen in the backfield, taking down
- 23:20Speaker 11: Pierce for a loss of about four.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Panthers defense looking at a Philadelphia 0 that only came
- 23:26Speaker 1: up with 17 points last week. Third game in a
- 23:28Speaker 1: row they haven't scored 21 points in a game. They
- 23:31Speaker 1: converted six third downs, but still failed on nine and
- 23:35Speaker 1: only made it to the red zone once.
- 23:37Speaker 11: Pressure coming right in the face of Hurts, and he's
- 23:39Speaker 11: sandwiched back at the 23 by Johnson and Walker.
- 23:44Speaker 1: But Hurts doesn't have to worry about J.C. Horn or
- 23:46Speaker 1: Mike Jackson, both Hurts. A Caleb Evans will need to
- 23:50Speaker 1: step up. He gave up 208 yards and a TD
- 23:52Speaker 1: versus Detroit. Over 200 yards allowed in a single game
- 23:57Speaker 1: is rare.
- 23:58Speaker 7: Goff going to take a shot downfield. Tesla has broken
- 24:01Speaker 7: wide open. Isaac Tesla, was he touched?
- 24:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Carolina gave up 26 to Detroit. When you consider they
- 24:08Speaker 1: were down their starting corners, that's not so bad. And
- 24:11Speaker 1: their 27 points per game allowed is still being worked
- 24:14Speaker 1: on after giving up 59 week one. Cornerback Will Lee
- 24:18Speaker 1: has played really well. Safety Trayvon Merrick moved to the
- 24:21Speaker 1: slot versus Detroit, handled himself well. Devin Lloyd, as good
- 24:25Speaker 1: as any linebacker playing the pass, they have played quarterbacks
- 24:28Speaker 1: tough enough over four games, holding them to an 84
- 24:31Speaker 1: rating and just 6.4 per attempt. Question is, will they
- 24:35Speaker 1: be able to keep it up, sans that injured cornerback duo? Now,
- 24:44Speaker 1: Hurts and his beat-up line take on what has been
- 24:47Speaker 1: an average pass rush, eight sacks below average pressure rate,
- 24:51Speaker 1: but two guys to watch for, Jalen Phillips has dropped
- 24:54Speaker 1: the quarterback twice. Prince Oman Mialan leads the team with three.
- 25:03Speaker 1: As mentioned, Hurts was working without Smith last week. A
- 25:06Speaker 1: beat-up line has been having to deal with tons of
- 25:09Speaker 1: pressure each snap. He only managed 5.5 yards per attempt
- 25:13Speaker 1: last week, sub-80 rate for the third straight game. He
- 25:16Speaker 1: avoided throwing a pick, only one TD pass, a 62-yarder
- 25:20Speaker 1: to Darius Cooper, who scored for the fourth time this year.
- 25:24Speaker 3: He's already got three touchdowns.
- 25:25Speaker 11: Make it four for the former college free agent out
- 25:29Speaker 11: of Tarleton.
- 25:31Speaker 1: He got tight end Dallas Goddard back, 38 yards. Makai Lemon,
- 25:35Speaker 1: 43 yards. I think I'm two for five on the year.
- 25:38Speaker 1: With Makai, I wish his parents had named him Malachi Lemon.
- 25:42Speaker 1: It's always written right, too. I have the same issue
- 25:45Speaker 1: with Adam Vinatieri. There's no E, but I jam it
- 25:48Speaker 1: in there anyway. Dontavian Wicks, 63 yards versus Jacksonville.
- 25:52Speaker 11: So it's a first down catch. First and goal, Wicks
- 25:56Speaker 11: on the grab.
- 25:57Speaker 1: Here's the big mismatch if Saquon is good to go.
- 26:00Speaker 1: He'd be lining up against the second worst rush defense
- 26:04Speaker 1: in the league, Panthers giving up 5.4 yards per carry
- 26:08Speaker 1: and 156 yards per game, both bottom two in the NFL.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Inside for the touchdown, Jameer Gibbs.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Eagles defense held up their end of the bargain last week,
- 26:19Speaker 1: held Jacksonville to 19 points, and three of those were
- 26:22Speaker 1: on their special teams for allowing that kickoff return and
- 26:25Speaker 1: field goal. Five for 16 on third down stopped the
- 26:29Speaker 1: Jags on all three of their red zone tries. They're
- 26:31Speaker 1: holding teams to 22 per game after five weeks. Philadelphia's
- 26:43Speaker 1: defense gets in the rectangle with a Panthers offense that's
- 26:46Speaker 1: put up 32-plus points in three of four games, averaging
- 26:49Speaker 1: 30 per contest, over six yards per play. It's balanced,
- 26:54Speaker 1: has star power, but a nice supporting cast, too.
- 26:57Speaker 7: 27 Hubbard looking to slither back and does stays on
- 27:01Speaker 7: his feet.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Cuba Hubbard to the two.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Eagle secondary now sees if it can slow down the
- 27:06Speaker 1: quarterback averaging the most yards per game. Young with 317
- 27:11Speaker 1: a game so far, nine TDs, two picks, 100 rate,
- 27:15Speaker 1: almost as good a start as he could have hoped for.
- 27:18Speaker 1: That throw versus Detroit to put the game away, symbolic
- 27:21Speaker 1: of what he's looked like most of the time in 2026.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Young again has to escape.
- 27:25Speaker 7: On the run he throws. McMillan sideline. Did he catch it?
- 27:29Speaker 7: They say yes. Just shy of midfield.
- 27:32Speaker 1: While T-Mac's last game is indicative of his star power,
- 27:36Speaker 1: Bryce has been using everybody. Tight end Darren Waller, two touchdowns,
- 27:40Speaker 1: 37 yards per game. Tight end Tommy Tremble, 20 yards
- 27:44Speaker 1: per game. wide receiver Bryson Tremaine, 28 yards per game. McMillan,
- 27:49Speaker 1: 75 plus yards and three of four, 100 plus twice.
- 27:53Speaker 1: That 14 catch, 192 yard, two TD outburst versus Detroit,
- 27:58Speaker 1: winning fantasy owners games single-handedly.
- 28:01Speaker 7: Young, got time, in the middle, it's complete. Tadaroa McMillan
- 28:05Speaker 7: off to a good start tonight, right around midfield.
- 28:08Speaker 1: And they would love to have Jalen Coker back. He
- 28:11Speaker 1: missed that game with a quad injury. He's scored twice
- 28:14Speaker 1: and has a nice 74-yard per game average.
- 28:16Speaker 5: Young trying to find one of them. He wants to
- 28:18Speaker 5: take a deep shot. This is for Jalen Coker!
- 28:22Speaker 3: In the bucket!
- 28:23Speaker 1: Philadelphia's secondary gave up over 330 yards to Trevor Lawrence
- 28:27Speaker 1: Week 5, 68 yards allowed to tight end Brenton Strange,
- 28:30Speaker 1: 124 to Parker Washington. Reek Wollin gave up 49 yards
- 28:35Speaker 1: in a TD. Safety Andrew Makuba gave up a touchdown
- 28:38Speaker 1: and a perfectly bad 158.3 rating.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Pressure.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Lawrence.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Deep pass.
- 28:45Speaker 4: Oh, what a catch.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Touchdown, Parker Washington.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Quinion Mitchell picked Lawrence off. He and Jalen Carter both
- 28:53Speaker 1: enter off great games. Carter, with both the Philadelphia Saks,
- 28:56Speaker 1: was beast mode most of that contest.
- 28:59Speaker 3: From the pocket, Lawrence.
- 29:00Speaker 4: Going to get hit.
- 29:01Speaker 3: The ball's lost.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Here's what's really impressive about Young's start. He's faced a 42%
- 29:07Speaker 1: pressure rate. That's a lot of heat. Left tackle Rasheed
- 29:11Speaker 1: Walker has only given up a half a sack, but
- 29:13Speaker 1: he's allowed 25 pressures, 10 more than anybody else on
- 29:17Speaker 1: the team. Right tackle Monroe Freeling hasn't allowed a high
- 29:20Speaker 1: pressure rate, but he has given up a team-high three
- 29:22Speaker 1: sacks per NextGenStats.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Young, scrambling, chased. And he's brought down.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Panthers, Chuba Hubbard, loving being the man again. 4.3 plus
- 29:36Speaker 1: yards per carry in every game. A nice 5 per
- 29:39Speaker 1: overall average. 76 yards per game. Hit Bob Rossland three times.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Hubbard. Left.
- 29:45Speaker 12: Hubbard.
- 29:47Speaker 10: All the way.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Touchdown Panthers.
- 29:49Speaker 1: He tests a Philadelphia run defense that held Bashaw Toot
- 29:53Speaker 1: in a 3.3 a carry. They're holding runners overall to
- 29:56Speaker 1: 4 a run after last week. Houston next up to
- 30:00Speaker 1: go on a European vacation. Look, kids, it's Big Ben.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Maybe Roethlisberger will be there, too.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Who knows?
- 30:06Speaker 1: They head off to London off their first win of 2026,
- 30:09Speaker 1: so feeling as good as they have all year.
- 30:13Speaker 13: Anderson again looking for Ward, and he's got his third sack.
- 30:17Speaker 13: Texans defense finally turning out the lights.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Jacksonville living off fish and chips for two straight weeks,
- 30:23Speaker 1: playing their second game in a row in London. supposed
- 30:26Speaker 1: to be their home away from home, but man, they
- 30:28Speaker 1: may as well have been playing a road game in
- 30:30Speaker 1: Philadelphia last week, still found a way to pull off
- 30:33Speaker 1: a Duval miracle.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Snap! It's down! The kick on the way!
- 30:38Speaker 4: Oh!
- 30:39Speaker 3: And the kick is good! And the Jaguars win it!
- 30:43Speaker 1: Eight seconds and a backup long snapper. No problem. What
- 30:46Speaker 1: a kickoff return. What a boot by Cam Little. And
- 30:49Speaker 1: what about that Jags defense? Texans O facing off with
- 30:53Speaker 1: a D that hasn't allowed 21 points in a game yet.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Held Philadelphia to 17. Only let them in the red
- 30:59Speaker 1: zone once.
- 31:01Speaker 11: Pressure coming right in the face of Hurts, and he's
- 31:03Speaker 11: sandwiched back at the 23 by Johnson and Walker.
- 31:07Speaker 1: C.J. Stroud trying to solve a secondary that held Jalen
- 31:10Speaker 1: Hurts to 5.5 yards per attempt, a sub-80 rating, held
- 31:14Speaker 1: him to 21 of 40 passing. Sure, Philadelphia didn't have
- 31:18Speaker 1: Devontae Smith. But they have more INTs than TDs allowed
- 31:22Speaker 1: in 2026. They're holding quarterbacks to a low 80s rate overall.
- 31:27Speaker 11: Hurts will throw on the slant. It's high and incomplete.
- 31:30Speaker 11: No flag.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Hunter was all over him.
- 31:32Speaker 1: The weak spot so far for their DB room, cornerback
- 31:36Speaker 1: Monteric Brown. He gave up a long touchdown last week.
- 31:40Speaker 1: has allowed a super fat 145 rate for the year
- 31:43Speaker 1: so far. Stroud hits week five in good spirits through
- 31:47Speaker 1: for over 260 yards versus Tennessee TD no picks a
- 31:51Speaker 1: 100 plus rate. Their passing game has been good for
- 31:54Speaker 1: 260 plus yards and four or five games now. He
- 31:57Speaker 1: hasn't thrown an INT yet.
- 31:59Speaker 12: Nate, here they come.
- 32:00Speaker 13: Stroud spins away from trouble, surveys end zone.
- 32:04Speaker 3: It is caught for the Houston touchdown.
- 32:08Speaker 1: That's back-to-back games. Houston has put up 26-plus points third
- 32:12Speaker 1: time on the season, too.
- 32:14Speaker 13: Stroud pulls it back. He's got a lead blocker. Stroud in.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Stroud did take two sacks versus Tennessee. He has taken
- 32:22Speaker 1: two-plus sacks in every game.
- 32:24Speaker 5: That's insane.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Stroud, first time they get to him, Jacob Martin.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Jags pass rush, Stroud has on his hands, only came
- 32:32Speaker 1: up with one sack of hurts in London, that's 11
- 32:35Speaker 1: for 2026, but they turned up the dial on their blitz.
- 32:38Speaker 1: ended up with a fat 54% pressure rate versus Philadelphia.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Their pressure rate for the year, a healthy 40%.
- 32:45Speaker 11: Pass, pressure is on. Hurts has to get rid of it.
- 32:49Speaker 11: And he almost threw a pick. Wow, Johnny Jones along
- 32:52Speaker 11: the sideline.
- 32:53Speaker 1: When the ball is in the air, maybe we get
- 32:55Speaker 1: some Marvin Harrison Jr., who Houston traded for earlier this week.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Nico Collins should factor 56 yards week five.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Stroud, good touch. That pass is good.
- 33:06Speaker 13: Nico Collins knew he was going to get lit.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Xavier Hutchinson led the way last week with 65 yards.
- 33:12Speaker 3: The Myers can do inside is what they're missing. Off
- 33:14Speaker 3: the fake handoff completion. Hutchinson.
- 33:17Speaker 1: When they hand off, probably all Woody Marks. David Montgomery
- 33:21Speaker 1: left last week with a groin injury. Marks went for
- 33:24Speaker 1: 62 yards on 4-1 to carry versus Tennessee.
- 33:27Speaker 13: This is Woody Marks trying to break one, and he
- 33:30Speaker 13: gets into the second level.
- 33:32Speaker 1: It's been almost impossible to run on Jacksonville's defense. Again,
- 33:36Speaker 1: didn't face Saquon in their win last week. held the
- 33:38Speaker 1: guys they faced to 1.2 a carry and just 22 yards.
- 33:42Speaker 1: But again, Jaguars' good play versus runners wasn't just a
- 33:46Speaker 1: week five thing. They're holding ball carriers to 2.9 an attempt,
- 33:50Speaker 1: just 63 yards per game.
- 33:52Speaker 2: It's in the regular year.
- 33:53Speaker 11: Big hit by Josh Hines-Allen in the backfield, taking down
- 33:57Speaker 11: Pierce for a loss of about four.
- 33:59Speaker 1: If Houston's defense plays up to expectation, Jaguars' offense will
- 34:03Speaker 1: have a tough time getting on track based on what
- 34:05Speaker 1: they've done so far. Only 19 points versus Philadelphia. That's
- 34:09Speaker 1: the third time in their last four games they haven't
- 34:12Speaker 1: hit 24 on the scoreboard. 5-for-16 on third down versus
- 34:16Speaker 1: the Eagles. 0-for-3 in the red zone. Some fans not
- 34:20Speaker 1: happy with Liam Cohen's play calling inside the 20.
- 34:22Speaker 11: He's going to hand it off to Tootin and he's
- 34:25Speaker 11: cut down at the 7-yard line by Zach Ball.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Ruled down on the field and the half comes to
- 34:31Speaker 3: an end.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence rolling in off a season-high 330-plus yard passing
- 34:36Speaker 1: game though. Threw a pick but hit for two TDs.
- 34:39Speaker 1: That throw to put them in the lead featured on dot.com.
- 34:43Speaker 1: The catch by Parker Washington, Sofia Vergara, Selma Hayek-esque. Washington
- 34:48Speaker 1: caught both the T-Laws TDs, a season-high 124 yards.
- 34:53Speaker 11: Hitting Parker Washington, and Washington slips a tackle inside the 20.
- 34:57Speaker 11: Washington heading for the end zone.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Touchdown, Jacksonville.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Don't worry, Sofia and Selma still have two arms, by
- 35:04Speaker 1: the way. Jacoby Myers chipped in 37 yards. Josh Cameron 43.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Tied in, Brenton Strange 68, 65 plus back-to-back games.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Lawrence, everybody covered.
- 35:16Speaker 11: Now he throws and it's caught inside the five and
- 35:19Speaker 11: down to the one is Brenton Strange.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Of course, how Jacksonville's O-line handles Houston's pass rush will
- 35:25Speaker 1: be key in this matchup. Lawrence took two sacks versus Philadelphia.
- 35:29Speaker 1: on 39 pass attempts. He faced a pressure rate of 34,
- 35:33Speaker 1: so last week wasn't all that bad, and he hasn't
- 35:36Speaker 1: faced a lot of pressure this season. Guard Ezra Cleveland, though,
- 35:39Speaker 1: gave up both sacks last week. He's allowed a team
- 35:42Speaker 1: high four for the year.
- 35:44Speaker 3: From the pocket, Lawrence, gonna get hit, the ball's lost!
- 35:48Speaker 1: Guess it's good that Cleveland won't face Daniil Hunter or
- 35:52Speaker 1: Will Anderson very often. It's the tackles who will have
- 35:55Speaker 1: all the pressure to keep them at bay. Hunter gobbled
- 35:58Speaker 1: up Cam Ward once, his third on the year. Will
- 36:01Speaker 1: Anderson leads the NFL with seven and a half bags,
- 36:04Speaker 1: walked out of Tennessee with a sack trick. His amp
- 36:07Speaker 1: cranked to a spinal tap 11 right now.
- 36:10Speaker 13: Here they come again, and Ward going down again. Anderson,
- 36:14Speaker 13: one of the elite players.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Facing Lawrence will be a much tougher test for Houston's
- 36:19Speaker 1: defense than Cam Ward and Tennessee's offense, of course. They
- 36:22Speaker 1: took care of the business in front of them, as
- 36:24Speaker 1: you'd expect, though. D'Amico Ryans took over play calling last
- 36:28Speaker 1: week after that loss to Dallas, held the Titans to
- 36:30Speaker 1: three points in a super low 3.2 yards per play,
- 36:34Speaker 1: held Ward to 170 yards on 4.7 per attempt, picked
- 36:38Speaker 1: him off a low 60s rate. That's three games where
- 36:41Speaker 1: they've played the part we thought they'd play all year.
- 36:44Speaker 3: And yet, boy, Ward, dead pass, intercepted! It's picked off.
- 36:50Speaker 13: Second straight possession that ends in a turnover.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Texans held Tony Pollard to 3-7 a run. They may
- 36:57Speaker 1: have had a few games where their pass defense was
- 36:59Speaker 1: a little shaky, but they're holding ball carriers to 3-3
- 37:02Speaker 1: a carry over five games. Now they set their sights
- 37:06Speaker 1: on Bashawl Tootin with 72 yards versus Philadelphia. Last three games, 72, 73,
- 37:10Speaker 1: and 73 games. He has at least 65 in each game.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Tootin' again up the middle. Room this time as he's
- 37:19Speaker 3: thrown forward.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Tootin' only 3.3 a carry a week ago. First game
- 37:24Speaker 1: under 4-3. Who's got it better than us? Well, almost everybody.
- 37:29Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, you were one of many head coaches after
- 37:32Speaker 1: last week's games in line to take a foot up
- 37:35Speaker 1: the you-know-what from Red Foreman.
- 37:38Speaker 8: They will sneak it with Herbert. Denver feels like they
- 37:42Speaker 8: stopped him, and they did! The Broncos form a wall!
- 37:46Speaker 1: They are in Kansas City facing a 4-0 Chiefs team, rested,
- 37:50Speaker 1: but going forward with question marks at receiver, puts more
- 37:53Speaker 1: pressure on Andy Reid's play calling, Patrick Mahomes' ability to
- 37:57Speaker 1: make somebody else look good, and maybe even more, on
- 38:00Speaker 1: the real star of their show so far.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Walker's got room! Walker's taking it! Diving!
- 38:08Speaker 10: Sailing in and a touchdown again for Walker.
- 38:12Speaker 1: With Forrest Gump at running back, maybe the Chiefs can
- 38:15Speaker 1: survive their wideout injuries for the time being. Kenneth Walker
- 38:19Speaker 1: showed up in Kansas City and decided to go for
- 38:21Speaker 1: a little run. So he ran all over Denver. And
- 38:24Speaker 1: when he got done with them, he ran all over
- 38:26Speaker 1: the Colts. He figured since he'd run that far, he
- 38:29Speaker 1: should run through Miami. And for no particular reason, he
- 38:32Speaker 1: just kept on going. He ran clear through the Las
- 38:35Speaker 1: Vegas Strip, 170 plus yards twice, 100 plus in three
- 38:37Speaker 1: of four, Four scores, a 6.2 yard per carry average.
- 38:45Speaker 10: Walker's going to change that in one big run.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Will they catch him?
- 38:50Speaker 10: He's at the 30, the 20, stiff arm and out
- 38:53Speaker 10: of bounds at the 10.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Canine, the catalyst for an offense that's put up 24
- 38:57Speaker 1: plus points in each game, a 29 point average, healthy
- 39:01Speaker 1: third down conversion rate. have only turned the ball over twice,
- 39:04Speaker 1: 6.5 yards per play, top five good.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Oh, he's going to keep it! A fake! It is
- 39:10Speaker 3: wide open space and a first down!
- 39:13Speaker 1: Walker has done wonders for Mahomes' game.
- 39:15Speaker 7: L.A.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Has to worry about the run, giving Mahomes more breathing room.
- 39:19Speaker 1: He's used it well so far, two plus TDs in
- 39:22Speaker 1: each game, averaging over 250 yards per game, rate over 100.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Keep in mind, his rating the last three seasons in
- 39:30Speaker 1: a row, sub 94.
- 39:33Speaker 10: Raiders are going to bring it. Mahomes is going to
- 39:35Speaker 10: launch it. And he's got Thornton there in stride. And
- 39:38Speaker 10: Thornton is all the way to the four-yard line.
- 39:42Speaker 1: I feel like this is a safe space to laugh
- 39:44Speaker 1: about this. In our Raiders-Pats preview last week, I said,
- 39:48Speaker 1: and I quote, Vegas' secondary gave up two TDs to Mahomes,
- 39:51Speaker 1: no interceptions. And that had Raiders fans jump all over
- 39:55Speaker 1: me for glazing Mahomes? Man, they really hate that guy
- 39:58Speaker 1: now that they've won a few games.
- 40:00Speaker 10: Third down, Mahomes likes the deep ball to Worthy, and
- 40:04Speaker 10: he makes the catch!
- 40:06Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy, averaging 33 yards per game, had his best
- 40:10Speaker 1: game versus Vegas. He's really going to need to step up.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Tyquan Thornton and Rasheed Rice combined, accounting for more than
- 40:17Speaker 1: 90 yards per game. The only guys Mahomes has targeted
- 40:20Speaker 1: 10 or more times that he has at his disposal, Worthy, Walker,
- 40:25Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey, who's put up over 60 yards per game,
- 40:28Speaker 1: scoring two times.
- 40:29Speaker 3: Dumped across the middle. Kelsey has the catch.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Bolts' secondary last week gave up 55 yards to tight
- 40:37Speaker 1: end Evan Ingram, but held everybody else to fewer than 20.
- 40:41Speaker 3: The L.A.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Defense Kansas City's O is getting in the ring with
- 40:44Speaker 1: is giving up nearly 26 points a game, but they're
- 40:47Speaker 1: capable of putting up a fight and keeping this close
- 40:50Speaker 1: in theory. They did last week in their loss to Denver,
- 40:53Speaker 1: held them to 23 points, just one for 12 on
- 40:56Speaker 1: third down, stopped three of the five red zone trips
- 40:58Speaker 1: they faced, and held the Broncos' offense to 3.9 yards
- 41:02Speaker 1: per play.
- 41:03Speaker 8: He lost the ball at the end of the play.
- 41:07Speaker 8: The Chargers have it.
- 41:08Speaker 1: They did all that with their offense, turning the ball
- 41:11Speaker 1: over three times, and despite playing without safety, Derwin James
- 41:14Speaker 1: and cornerback Dante Jackson still held Bo Nix to 123
- 41:19Speaker 1: yards on 4-6 in attempt.
- 41:21Speaker 8: Day in the backfield on a third and six.
- 41:23Speaker 14: Nix.
- 41:24Speaker 8: Incomplete, Cortland Sutton the target.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Chargers pass rush, averaging just over two sacks a game
- 41:31Speaker 1: with 11-5 games, but only got to Nix once on
- 41:34Speaker 1: 27 pass attempts.
- 41:36Speaker 8: Nix, trying to load it up, goes down! Bold, pops free!
- 41:41Speaker 1: Mahomes has taken two sacks in three of four games.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Right tackle Jalen Moore has been the weak spot thus far.
- 41:47Speaker 1: He's allowed a team high 17 pressures and 3.5 sacks.
- 41:51Speaker 1: the only lineman that's allowed a double-digit pressure rate.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Mahomes, pressure from behind. Walker got to him. Quay Walker
- 41:59Speaker 3: chased him down.
- 42:01Speaker 1: As for Walker, again, Chargers could give him a tough time.
- 42:04Speaker 1: They held J.K. Dobbins to 3-8 a run and are
- 42:07Speaker 1: holding runners to that same figure for the season.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Does not seem like J.K.
- 42:11Speaker 9: Dobbins is running with the same vim and vigor that
- 42:16Speaker 9: we're used to.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Even if L.A. can limit KC's scoring, can they find
- 42:20Speaker 1: enough offensively to have it matter? They've been held under
- 42:23Speaker 1: 18 points in four of five games, haven't put up
- 42:27Speaker 1: 24 once, have a 16-point-per-game average, only two teams worse,
- 42:31Speaker 1: 26th on third down, lead the league in turnovers with 13,
- 42:36Speaker 1: only 3.8 yards per play versus Denver, just one red
- 42:40Speaker 1: zone trip.
- 42:41Speaker 3: Herbert intercepted! He threw it right to Brandon Jones.
- 42:47Speaker 1: Overall, Kansas City's defense holding teams to 19 a game
- 42:51Speaker 1: so far, a solid five yards per play, seven takeaways.
- 42:55Speaker 3: Here we go with 10 seconds.
- 42:58Speaker 10: Cousins flagged down, got hit when he threw it, got intercepted.
- 43:02Speaker 1: The Herbert-Mike McDaniel pairing has gone as well as Liam
- 43:05Speaker 1: Neeson and Ewan McGregor in Phantom Menace. Herbert with an
- 43:08Speaker 1: INT in every game, season-low five yards per attempt last week,
- 43:13Speaker 1: sub-77 rate for the fourth game in a row, only
- 43:16Speaker 1: 121 yards versus Denver, has five touchdowns against seven INTs
- 43:21Speaker 1: on the year now.
- 43:23Speaker 8: Back at the end zone, touchdown, Hayden Rucci on the
- 43:27Speaker 8: receiving end.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Two award-winning actors looking like they're in a B-movie. Hopefully
- 43:31Speaker 1: Herbert gets Ladd-McConkie and Quentin Johnston back for this one.
- 43:34Speaker 1: would give them a chance to maybe make it competitive.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Both missed week five. But L.A. will have to make
- 43:40Speaker 1: do with an O-line that's once again ravaged by injuries.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Herbert took a season-high five sacks on just 24 pass
- 43:47Speaker 1: attempts versus the Broncos. has taken three plus in four
- 43:51Speaker 1: or five games, 17 total.
- 43:53Speaker 8: Pocket collapsing, and Herbert loses the ball. It ended up
- 43:58Speaker 8: in his hands. DJ Jones with the pressure.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Herbert does not face a fierce pass rush. Chiefs with
- 44:04Speaker 1: only four sacks, but he does face a secondary that's
- 44:07Speaker 1: played the pass really well early on. Holding quarterbacks to
- 44:10Speaker 1: a 76 rate and just 6.2 yards per attempt, corner
- 44:14Speaker 1: Noel Williams has looked great, as has rookie Mansoor Delane.
- 44:19Speaker 3: And then White reached back. You really know the field
- 44:23Speaker 3: is an incomplete pass. Yeah, yeah. Fourth down.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Not one Charger had 40 receiving yards last week. O'Marion
- 44:30Speaker 1: Hampton only 33 yards on 2.4 a carry. The only
- 44:33Speaker 1: guy with any kind of momentum to try and build
- 44:36Speaker 1: off of, Kimani Vidal, who broke off a 42-yard TD run.
- 44:40Speaker 3: Through. Vidal still going. Vidal cuts it.
- 44:45Speaker 4: Vidal.
- 44:47Speaker 3: What a run.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders back at home this week. It's like
- 44:51Speaker 1: they won their first three hands in a row. We're
- 44:53Speaker 1: up 5-hundy at midnight, but then come 2 a.m., find
- 44:57Speaker 1: themselves at the ATM, hoping they haven't reached the withdrawal limit,
- 45:00Speaker 1: and can pull out another C-note so they can get
- 45:03Speaker 1: back into it.
- 45:04Speaker 4: The time, always gonna go deep.
- 45:07Speaker 3: Got him!
- 45:08Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in town, West Coast living, treating them well
- 45:11Speaker 1: so far, hitting the strip after catching the ace of
- 45:14Speaker 1: spades they needed on the river.
- 45:15Speaker 3: The kick is blocked. The Bills have life.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Hey, that game lived up to the hype, in part
- 45:22Speaker 1: because Buffalo's offense lived up to the hype, for the
- 45:25Speaker 1: most part anyway. Yes, it's two stars both turned the
- 45:28Speaker 1: ball over, but Josh Allen's was a halftime desperation bomb attempt,
- 45:32Speaker 1: not so much a bad decision. He does enter Week
- 45:35Speaker 1: 6 off a unique outing. He didn't pile up big
- 45:38Speaker 1: yards or connect on many downfield passes, but he played
- 45:41Speaker 1: the hand in front of him intelligently, taking what the
- 45:44Speaker 1: defense gave him. which led to him utilizing his running
- 45:47Speaker 1: backs a lot early on to move the ball.
- 45:50Speaker 3: That's the threat.
- 45:50Speaker 12: He can beat you three different ways with his legs,
- 45:52Speaker 12: his arm, and his mind.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Bills slapped L.A. with 37 points. Vegas looking at the
- 45:57Speaker 1: number one scoring offense in the league, 32 points a game.
- 46:01Speaker 1: They averaged 7.6 yards per play against the Rams. They
- 46:04Speaker 1: lead the NFL in yards per play after five weeks.
- 46:07Speaker 1: They're tied for second best on third down, top ten
- 46:11Speaker 1: good in the red zone, went four for five at SoFi.
- 46:14Speaker 3: For the Bills. How about this hole for Cook? Touchdown, Buffalo!
- 46:18Speaker 1: Buffalo has put up 24-plus points in every game and
- 46:21Speaker 1: now line up against a Raiders defense that gave up
- 46:24Speaker 1: 27-plus points three straight games. 45 to New England last week.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Teams don't usually average seven yards per play. They gave
- 46:32Speaker 1: up 8.1 yards per play to the Pats. Let them
- 46:35Speaker 1: convert four or five of their red zone trips. They're
- 46:37Speaker 1: looking more like the 2025 Raiders defense than the one
- 46:40Speaker 1: that showed up the first two weeks of 2026. So,
- 46:47Speaker 1: in last week's Raiders Patriots preview, when relaying how the
- 46:51Speaker 1: Raiders secondary fared versus, well, a quarterback who I guess
- 46:55Speaker 1: must be like Voldemort, I was accused of glazing because
- 46:58Speaker 1: I said Vegas' secondary gave up two TDs to him
- 47:01Speaker 1: without picking him off. so I'm worried how this is
- 47:04Speaker 1: going to come across to some Black Hole members. Last week, Vegas'
- 47:08Speaker 1: secondary gave up 370 yards and four TDs to Drake
- 47:12Speaker 1: May on 11 yards per attempt for a 150 rating.
- 47:16Speaker 1: I apologize if that comes across glazy.
- 47:19Speaker 4: Going deep, and he's got him at the goal line!
- 47:22Speaker 4: Claude Williams!
- 47:23Speaker 1: Raiders pass rush only one sack of May on 34
- 47:26Speaker 1: pass attempts. They do have 13 sacks in an above-average
- 47:30Speaker 1: pressure rate. just weren't able to bother May much a
- 47:32Speaker 1: week ago. Allen only took one sack on 19 pass
- 47:36Speaker 1: attempts in that OT win. That's back-to-back games with only
- 47:39Speaker 1: one sack taken. He's like the ladies in that ZZ
- 47:42Speaker 1: Top song. He took off 10 times last week, 121
- 47:46Speaker 1: rush yards, scored for the eighth time down low, has
- 47:49Speaker 1: run at least one in in every game.
- 47:52Speaker 3: Allen plows in, touchdown. And it's another rushing touchdown.
- 47:56Speaker 1: When he let it fly, he dumped a Ty Johnson,
- 47:58Speaker 1: who's kind of like their secret weapon, Keeps turning screens
- 48:01Speaker 1: into big chunk plays. Four catches last week, 72 yards.
- 48:06Speaker 3: It's Ty Johnson. Got a good block. Johnson still rumbling.
- 48:10Speaker 12: Ty Johnson, they love this guy.
- 48:12Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir also worked the yak game. Almost housed a
- 48:16Speaker 1: catch in OT. Ripped off that 57-yarder as part of
- 48:19Speaker 1: an 80-yard game.
- 48:20Speaker 2: Here's Shakir.
- 48:21Speaker 3: He's got a first down plus. Shakir rumbling inside Rams territory.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Keon Coleman caught Allen's TD pass. That 7-yarder his only reception.
- 48:30Speaker 1: no DJ Moore, and just 13 yards combined from tight
- 48:34Speaker 1: ends Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid. James Cook, plenty effective
- 48:38Speaker 1: as a runner when he held onto the ball, 111 yards,
- 48:41Speaker 1: four for a carry, two scores, that's three 100-plus yard
- 48:45Speaker 1: games in his last four now. 4-4 or better in
- 48:48Speaker 1: all five games has found Pater in four straight.
- 48:51Speaker 3: He could keep cooking this week, too. Raiders gave up
- 48:54Speaker 3: 165 rush yards to New England on over five per opportunity.
- 49:05Speaker 1: They gave up over 170 yards to Kenneth Walker the
- 49:08Speaker 1: week before, so we're now sitting on a 5.2 yard
- 49:11Speaker 1: per carry allowed average, only one team worse.
- 49:14Speaker 4: First and goal, Ramondre Stevenson, knifing! That is a corkscrew touchdown!
- 49:20Speaker 1: They can turn this game into another shootout. Kirk Cousins
- 49:23Speaker 1: on paper wasn't as bad as the result of the
- 49:25Speaker 1: loss to the Patriots. Over 240 yards, a rating over 100,
- 49:27Speaker 1: 240 plus yards and four straight. 100 plus rate in
- 49:33Speaker 1: three of his last.
- 49:34Speaker 4: Four fake by cousins first and 10 end zone throw touchdown.
- 49:39Speaker 1: But Fernando Mendoza didn't make an appearance because cousins was
- 49:42Speaker 1: putting up numbers when it mattered so keep his stats
- 49:44Speaker 1: in perspective but he gets a bill secondary that comes
- 49:48Speaker 1: in wobbling gave up 383 yards to Matthew Stafford three
- 49:52Speaker 1: TDs a 111 rating he drove the field to tie
- 49:56Speaker 1: the game like they weren't there not sure why LA
- 49:58Speaker 1: didn't go for the knockout punch Bills giving up 280
- 50:02Speaker 1: yards per game after five games, only one team allowing more,
- 50:05Speaker 1: a 105 rating and over eight yards per attempt.
- 50:09Speaker 3: Stafford, end zone, Adams touchdown. Back-to-back touchdown drives for the Rams.
- 50:15Speaker 1: Raiders offense looking at a defense giving up 28 points
- 50:18Speaker 1: per game after giving up 34 to the Rams. They
- 50:21Speaker 1: haven't been good in the red zone or on third down.
- 50:24Speaker 3: Second down and goal. It's Nakua. What a throw. The catch.
- 50:28Speaker 3: The touchdown.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Vegas' offense had been productive weeks one through four, so
- 50:32Speaker 1: they're capable. 26 points per game says as much, but
- 50:36Speaker 1: they sputtered out to 17 versus New England, 5 for
- 50:38Speaker 1: 13 on third down. and 0 for 2 on fourth down.
- 50:42Speaker 4: He's got the completion. Brock Bowers collides with Byard.
- 50:46Speaker 2: Ball loose.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Cousins took three sacks on 28 pass attempts week five.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Three sacks taken and two of his last three.
- 50:53Speaker 4: They bring four. Cousins hit. Crab ponder.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Bills have Gregory Rousseau and Bradley Chubb, but Stafford threw
- 51:01Speaker 1: 54 times. Buffalo only sacked him once. Their DBs gave
- 51:06Speaker 1: up 53 yards to running back Blake Corum, 83 yards
- 51:09Speaker 1: to tight end Tyler Higby, 17 catches, 138 yards and
- 51:13Speaker 1: a touchdown to Puka Nakua, 51 yards and two TDs
- 51:18Speaker 1: to some dude named Devontae Adams. I think he's a
- 51:21Speaker 1: practice squad guy. Probably won't ever hear from him again.
- 51:25Speaker 3: C.J.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Gardner-Johnson gave up a touchdown, a team-high 63 yards, and
- 51:29Speaker 1: a nice, fat 150 rating.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Looking left the whole way. That's Adams. This is where
- 51:34Speaker 3: he's great. Touchdown, L.A.
- 51:36Speaker 1: Raiders dudes they tangle with this week. Trey Tucker, 41 yards.
- 51:41Speaker 1: Cody White, 44 yards. Brock Bowers, the one consistent. Two
- 51:45Speaker 1: 100-plus-yard games so far. 110 yards last week. A TD
- 51:50Speaker 1: in each game he's played, 85-plus yards in each.
- 51:54Speaker 4: 3rd and 6 underneath, they get the first down at
- 51:56Speaker 4: Bowers and.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Room to roam. Ashton Genty under 4 yards per carry,
- 52:00Speaker 1: 4 straight games, averaging 3.3 per run for the year,
- 52:04Speaker 1: worse than his rookie season. Has produced as a receiver though,
- 52:07Speaker 1: 50 plus yards in 2 straight games. after dropping 50
- 52:10Speaker 1: versus New England.
- 52:12Speaker 4: Fake to Jenny, and the screen to Jenny with a block.
- 52:15Speaker 4: It is a first down.
- 52:16Speaker 1: One strength Phil's defense has shown thus far, stopping runners,
- 52:20Speaker 1: held both of LA's backs to fewer than four yards
- 52:22Speaker 1: per carry, holding runners overall to 3.9 a try.
- 52:25Speaker 3: So here's Williams over the right side, and Kyron Williams
- 52:28Speaker 3: on first down gets dumped.
- 52:31Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons at home again this week, hoping some home
- 52:34Speaker 1: cooking for Michael Penix might help his rib heal up.
- 52:38Speaker 1: All that momentum they had built up came to a
- 52:40Speaker 1: screeching halt with one big hit and one bad throw
- 52:43Speaker 1: by his backup. Rise up and bear down, both hoping
- 52:54Speaker 1: for better QB health ahead of this game. How's the
- 52:57Speaker 1: hammy feel, Caleb? For real, do you even need two legs?
- 53:00Speaker 1: Can you maybe pull a Kurt Gibson? Because the backup
- 53:03Speaker 1: QB ride left Chicago fans sick to their stomachs last week.
- 53:07Speaker 6: Bajent on second and 10 pass deflected and picked off
- 53:11Speaker 6: by McKinney.
- 53:12Speaker 1: Anybody care how I pronounce Tyson Bajent this week? Not
- 53:15Speaker 1: sure DeBeers faithful care if I call him Tyson Bagel
- 53:18Speaker 1: after he threw two interceptions in their loss to Green Bay.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Only 87 yards passing, a 27 rating. Case Keenum came
- 53:27Speaker 1: in off the bench to no avail, threw a pick
- 53:29Speaker 1: as well. Offense sputtered out to seven points, only two
- 53:32Speaker 1: more points than turnovers as they gave it away five times.
- 53:36Speaker 1: Four for 14 on third down, only 3.6 yards per play.
- 53:41Speaker 1: Turns out the QB position is kind of important in
- 53:44Speaker 1: the NFL.
- 53:45Speaker 6: Keenum under pressure, able to get rid of it, it's
- 53:48Speaker 6: picked off! Third interception of the day, this time it's Hopper!
- 53:52Speaker 1: If Caleb isn't ready, maybe the Falcons' defense is the
- 53:55Speaker 1: cure for the backup QB Blues, because they couldn't stop
- 53:58Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley when it mattered in their loss, He scored
- 54:01Speaker 1: the game-winning TD on a sneak, drove them to that
- 54:04Speaker 1: spot in OT, drove them down late in the fourth
- 54:07Speaker 1: quarter to tie it on one of his two TDs,
- 54:09Speaker 1: allowing 30 points to Baltimore's offense.
- 54:12Speaker 7: They didn't pick off Huntley once, gave up a.
- 54:15Speaker 1: 1-10 rate to him, They were heavily favored in that
- 54:24Speaker 1: game because everybody assumed they could handle Snoop. Everybody assumed wrong.
- 54:35Speaker 1: They didn't give up many yards to him, and they're
- 54:37Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to a nice 6.2 yards per attempt, but
- 54:40Speaker 1: they only have one interception all year, so their rating
- 54:43Speaker 1: allowed is over 90. and they've given up 248 yards
- 54:47Speaker 1: per game, only five teams allowing more. Their DBs gave
- 54:51Speaker 1: up 62 yards to Rashad Bateman, 53 to Zay Flowers,
- 54:55Speaker 1: that wasn't really the problem, and they sacked Huntley three
- 54:58Speaker 1: times on 32 pass attempts. For a team with 11
- 55:01Speaker 1: sacks on the year, they had a nice day QB hunting.
- 55:04Speaker 3: Trying to get away! Ah, he pulled him down by
- 55:07Speaker 3: the undershirt! That's an epic comp!
- 55:10Speaker 1: If it's Caleb, then they will be challenged to track
- 55:12Speaker 1: him down. Keenum and Bajent took two sacks each on
- 55:15Speaker 1: a total of 40 pass attempts.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Keenum on second and down. That is Sutton again.
- 55:21Speaker 1: No Bear with 50 yards receiving or rushing. Luther Burden,
- 55:25Speaker 1: 47 yards. Roma Dunze, 40. Colston Loveland, 19. Kalief Raymond, 6.
- 55:31Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift with 43 yards rushing, only 9 attempts. He
- 55:35Speaker 1: did score and averaged 4.8 a pop at least.
- 55:39Speaker 6: To the end zone, touchdown De'Andre Swift.
- 55:42Speaker 1: Those five turnovers made it tough on a Chicago defense
- 55:45Speaker 1: that had been playing well They had held three teams
- 55:48Speaker 1: in a row under 13 points, then gave up 31
- 55:51Speaker 1: points to Green Bay and got lit up through the air.
- 55:54Speaker 1: They gave up over 360 yards to Jordan Love on
- 55:58Speaker 1: over 11 yards per attempt, two TDs. They allowed three
- 56:02Speaker 1: passes of 40-plus yards.
- 56:04Speaker 3: Looking for Watson, and the end zone, he's got it! Touchdown,
- 56:08Speaker 3: a spectacular catch!
- 56:10Speaker 1: They gave up 143 yards to Christian Watson in two TDs,
- 56:15Speaker 1: 123 yards to Matthew Golden. Cornerback Malik Muhammad gave up
- 56:19Speaker 1: 115 yards. Jalen Johnson gave up 106 and a TD.
- 56:24Speaker 1: He's allowed 352 yards in 2026, second most of any
- 56:29Speaker 1: DB in the league, a 133 rate over five games.
- 56:33Speaker 10: This time Matthew Golden, he wins the one-on-one on the outside.
- 56:36Speaker 1: So don't be shocked if Drake London goes into motion
- 56:39Speaker 1: looking for him. London went for 118 yards versus Baltimore,
- 56:43Speaker 1: his third game in a row with 95-plus yards.
- 56:47Speaker 3: And Pennix going downfield for London!
- 56:49Speaker 13: Got it!
- 56:49Speaker 3: Cross midfield, first down, Drake London.
- 56:52Speaker 1: His run of good games coinciding with Michael Pennix's return
- 56:55Speaker 1: to the lineup, he went for 240 yards before getting
- 56:58Speaker 1: knocked out hurt last week through a TD, no picks.
- 57:02Speaker 7: Pennix looking that way, throwing that way, touchdown!
- 57:04Speaker 3: Picks!
- 57:05Speaker 1: Atlanta went 9-for-17 on third down, 23 points, could have
- 57:09Speaker 1: been more, Tua Tungavailoa's interception ending their bid to try
- 57:13Speaker 1: and tie it. If he goes, there's plenty of reason
- 57:16Speaker 1: to think they'd just load up on Bijan. Robinson hit
- 57:19Speaker 1: for 5-1 a carry on his 17 attempts versus Baltimore,
- 57:22Speaker 1: 86 yards, that's 4-5 or better, four straight games, 70-plus
- 57:27Speaker 1: yards in all five.
- 57:28Speaker 7: Bichon last Robinson into the open field.
- 57:32Speaker 3: There goes Bichon.
- 57:33Speaker 1: And check this out. He's facing a defense that's allowed
- 57:37Speaker 1: four for a carry. And that was after getting it
- 57:39Speaker 1: down to that by facing one of the least effective
- 57:42Speaker 1: rush attacks in the league. Need to give Austin Booker some.
- 57:45Speaker 4: Love, though.
- 57:46Speaker 1: He came up with two sacks of love, Chicago's only
- 57:49Speaker 1: two sacks, has four now overall, at least one in
- 57:52Speaker 1: three of their last four games.
- 57:54Speaker 3: As love is wrapped up once again, and it's Booker.
- 57:58Speaker 1: Pennix, meantime, did take three sacks on his 32 pass attempts,
- 58:01Speaker 1: only took one in his first two starts, though. Arizona
- 58:06Speaker 1: Cardinals head west, trying to snap a four-game losing streak.
- 58:09Speaker 1: Some in the Red Sea maybe don't want them to
- 58:11Speaker 1: snap it and mess up a chance at somebody special
- 58:14Speaker 1: in the 2027 draft.
- 58:16Speaker 3: Reset. Back of the end zone. Touchdown.
- 58:19Speaker 15: A strike to Tegan Quintoriano.
- 58:23Speaker 1: They are in Hollywood this week. Was the missing D
- 58:25Speaker 1: at Mr. Peanutbutter's house? Because it wasn't at SoFi last week.
- 58:29Speaker 3: To win it. It is good. Tyler Bass sends the
- 58:36Speaker 3: Bills out of SoFi with a 37-34 overtime win.
- 58:42Speaker 1: Faulty defense plus faulty special teams leaving the Rams with
- 58:46Speaker 1: a 2-3 record. Maybe faulty coaching too. When you have
- 58:49Speaker 1: a guy on the ropes in boxing, you don't let up,
- 58:52Speaker 1: stand there and let the clock run out. Maybe throw
- 58:55Speaker 1: the knockout punch from two yards out being your opponent
- 58:58Speaker 1: is barely staying upright. And certainly don't let off the
- 59:01Speaker 1: gas in OT and get all conservative, not after Matthew
- 59:04Speaker 1: Stafford was picking that secondary apart like it was a
- 59:07Speaker 1: pregame walkthrough all second half.
- 59:10Speaker 3: The kick is blocked. More special teams issues for the Rams.
- 59:18Speaker 1: Cardinal secondary, getting a dude who's put up over 300
- 59:21Speaker 1: yards in four straight, Stafford with over 380 yards, three TDs,
- 59:24Speaker 1: and a 111 rate versus Buffalo. Rams offense, good for
- 59:29Speaker 1: 34 points in their loss to the Bills, converted all
- 59:33Speaker 1: five red zone trips.
- 59:34Speaker 3: Third down and goal, Stafford, end zone, Adams touchdown.
- 59:39Speaker 1: LA has scored at least 24 points in four straight
- 59:42Speaker 1: and now they get down with a defense that just
- 59:44Speaker 1: gave up 45 points, have allowed 31 plus in four
- 59:48Speaker 1: straight games. No team allowing more points per game than
- 59:51Speaker 1: Arizona at 32 per outing.
- 59:54Speaker 3: Bouncing. Oh, look at all the green to the outside.
- 59:57Speaker 15: There's the touchdown again for Jameer Gibbs.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Cardinals gave up 151 yards to Jameer Gibbs on six
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: yards per carry, two TDs. They're allowing 4.4 a run
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: overall now. Rams backs Kyron Williams, Blake Corum come off
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: sub four yard per carry games. Both plenty capable of
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: showing up big though. but throwing the ball against the
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: Cardinals might be too enticing. Their secondary gave up 271
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: yards to Jared Goff. Three TDs for a 125 rate.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Only one team is allowing a higher rating than Arizona.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: No team is allowing more than their 8.5 yards per attempt.
- 1:00:34Speaker 15: It's Sam Laporta untouched for the touchdown.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Safety Buda Baker allowed his third TD of the year.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: They gave up 88 yards and a touchdown to tight
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: end Sam Laporta, 56 receiving yards to Gibbs, 69 yards
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: to Amonra St. Brown, allowed Jamison Williams to score on
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: them twice. so struggled with all three positions. Stafford used
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: all three last week to build his gem. Corum, 53 yards.
- 1:01:00Speaker 12: I mean, he kicked it into fifth gear, and he
- 1:01:02Speaker 12: has been a real threat out of the backfield.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: Tight end Tyler Higbee, 83 yards, 60-plus yards and three
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: straight now.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: He fires. He's got a man, Higbee, wide open. Big
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: play of 28 yards.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Devontae Adams, two touchdowns, 51 yards.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: There's Adams.
- 1:01:18Speaker 15: Wow.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: That's fewer than 55 yards in his last two games.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: I wonder why. Holy Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Puka Nakua, 24 targets,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: 17 catches, 138 yards in a TD. 125-plus yards back-to-back games.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: Quick setup, had to pull it down, and there's Nakua!
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: Wide open!
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Stafford threw 54 times and was only sacked once. He's
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: left work with zero-to-one sacks taken in four or five
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: games now, too. Arizona did at least get to golf
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: three times a week ago, bringing their sack total for
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: the year to 11.
- 1:01:53Speaker 10: Oh, my!
- 1:01:56Speaker 15: The offense trying to improve, but Roy Lopez.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: But it will take more than getting to Stafford to
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: pull this upset. They'll likely need to turn it into
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: a track meet, which they could do maybe. Rams lead
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: the league in pass attempts. Arizona is third. Jacoby Brissett
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: went for over 290 yards versus Detroit. Three touchdowns has
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: thrown for 275-plus yards in three of five games.
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: Brissette will float it to the end zone.
- 1:02:21Speaker 15: Open for six is Quintoriano, his second.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: Of the day.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: His Week 5 performance not enough to boost the offense
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: to more than the three TDs he threw for. Only
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: 21 points versus a weak Detroit defense. That's what they're
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: averaging for the year. Brissette took five sacks last week,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: has taken 12 overall for 2026.
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: Five-man rush. Brissette in trouble, and it's Aleem McNeil.
- 1:02:48Speaker 7: L.A.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: Only has eight sacks over their five games, was only
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: able to get to Josh Allen once on 19 pass attempts,
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: kept letting him escape. He ran for a touchdown along
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: with 121 yards on over 12 carries. One of the
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: reasons they allowed 37 points to Buffalo, they've given up
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: 27 plus points three times, now allowing 24 points per
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: game for the year.
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: Allen plows in, touchdown.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: Rams yard per carry average ballooned to 4.6 after Monday's game.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: gave up 4-4 a run to James Cook, too, plus
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: two TDs. They try and get right versus Jeremiah Love,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: had a couple of good games, then 12 attempts, 22 yards,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: 1.8 per run versus Detroit, averaging 3.7 a run for 2026.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: LA's defense also struggled with backs as receivers, too. They
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: sport excellent numbers against the pass. but they gave up
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: a 31-yard catch to Ray Davis, a 40-yarder to Ty Johnson,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: who they let get away for 72 yards, 80 yards
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: to Khalil Shakir, let him get away for a 57-yarder,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: didn't play Allen bad, but those chunk plays hurt him
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: as they allowed Allen to go for 11 yards per attempt.
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: Shakir rumbling inside Rams territory, and he's just tripped up.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Cardinals passing attack is more tight end centric, of course. Man,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: that touchdown catch by Trey McBride last week, his third
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: in the last five games, 66 yards. I hope they
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: don't waste what that dude is doing.
- 1:04:19Speaker 15: That is a heck of a play with Jack Campbell.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: In his back pocket. This is absolutely amazing. That's two feet.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: What a shot. That is, that guy is a freak.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: His fellow tight end, Elijah Higgins, chipped in 57 yards.
- 1:04:35Speaker 15: Down the sideline, Elijah Higgins, a big play out of
- 1:04:40Speaker 15: the locker room for the Arizona Cardinals.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: Michael Wilson only 30 yards. Kendrick Bourne led the team
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: with 70 yards versus Detroit.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Reset over the middle on the run. It's Kendrick Bourne
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: and a first down.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: Who dat faithful? Starting to feel like Clark Griswold these days.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Seemed like everything was in place. All that anticipation and
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: then Son of a.
- 1:05:03Speaker 15: Straight up the gut.
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: Pounds ahead.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: And he is in. Vikings take the lead.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Saints off to Jersey this week to take on the Giants,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: who looked like they were going to win last week.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Then it looked like they were going to lose. Then win.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: Then lose for sure. So when they didn't, they kind
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: of won.
- 1:05:21Speaker 14: The clock ran out as Daniels ran the ball.
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: Hey, they'll take the early Christmas gift in this case.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: They're the ones sitting in first with a 3-1-1 record.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: and still feeling optimistic about their Jameis Winston experience. Famous,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: leading them back into last week's game in the second half,
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: ended up going for over 325 yards and three TDs.
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: That's back-to-back 250-plus yard, three TD games.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: Winston for the end zone! Touchdown, Giants!
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: He's guided their offense to 27-plus points back-to-back weeks, They
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: were 3-for-3 in the red zone versus Washington, 8-for-17 on
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: third down. They'd be happy to keep getting similar production
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: out of that O.
- 1:06:02Speaker 14: Winston to throw, does, end zone, fires, caught, touchdown!
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: They'd rather not wait for the second half to get
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: it going this week. And on one hand, they may
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: not need to. Saints have allowed 30-plus points in three
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: of five games. Only one team is giving up more
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: points per game. They have struggled to stop teams from
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: moving the sticks. Only three teams are allowing a higher rating.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Quarterbacks completing 70% of their passes against them gave up
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: a 100-plus rate to Kyler Murray a week ago, first
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: team he's played, where he looked the part of a
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: bona fide good signal caller.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: Jefferson trying to get free. Double coverage!
- 1:06:39Speaker 15: Hometown kid trying to make the play.
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: He does!
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: But they only gave up 23 points to the Vikings,
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: and they did score on a fumble return, so they
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: come off a good outing, so to speak.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: And the Saints.
- 1:06:54Speaker 15: Defense ties the game!
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Secondary gave up 79 yards and a touchdown to Justin Jefferson.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: It was an incredible catch, mind you, and they held
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: everybody else to fewer than 35 yards, so none of
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: their DBs are rattled ahead of this game. Two Giants
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: accounted for 22 of Winston's 33 completions last week. Malik
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: Nabors with 11 catches, 121 yards and a score. That's
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: 100-plus yards back-to-back games. Winston went to him 20 times.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: So Winston's game is dependent on that connection coming through.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: For the end zone!
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: Oh, Malik Nabors! Touchdown, Giants!
- 1:07:30Speaker 16: Tight end Isaiah Likely caught 11 of his 13 targets,
- 1:07:32Speaker 16: scored twice, 94 yards after a 66-yard outing, so he's
- 1:07:42Speaker 16: clearly Jameis' number two.
- 1:07:43Speaker 14: Want a run on New Orleans? They're giving up 4.9
- 1:07:46Speaker 14: yards per carry. Only two teams allowing more yards per
- 1:07:47Speaker 14: game gave.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Up 113 yards on 4.5 a pop to Aaron Jones.
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: Straight up the gut, pounds ahead, and he is in!
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Now they have to try and stop Cam Scadaboo, who
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: finally got a little something going. 59 yards, 4-5 a carry,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: hadn't cracked 3-3 a try in his previous three.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: They're going to run it.
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: Scadaboo trying to get the first down.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: And he does!
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: The one thing New Orleans defense sort of has going
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: for it is that pass rush. I mean, 10 sacks
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: in five games is very mid. But Carl Granderson had
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: one and a half sacks last week, and Chase Young
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: helped with one. He's been playing in beast mode for
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: them every week.
- 1:08:34Speaker 5: With pressure coming, he gets sandwiched down, has to take
- 1:08:38Speaker 5: the sack.
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: Winston will take a sack. He took two last week.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: He's taken at least two in each of the four
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: games he's played. Right tackle Jermaine Illuminor gave up his
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: third of the year. Left tackle Andrew Thomas has allowed
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: three and a half after giving up the other one
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: per NextGenStats.
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: And here comes the blitz. And Winston is not going
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: to get away.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck's problem isn't so much getting planted, though he's
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: been dropped 13 times in five games. He only took
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: one sack versus Minnesota, finished the game with just 96 yards,
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: under four yards per attempt, a sub-40 rating... No TDs,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: two picks, so he comes into this game off his
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: worst game of the year. He had thrown for 250-plus
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: yards his previous four games. Chris Olave went from four
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: straight games with 85-plus yards, back-to-back 100-yard games to 46 yards.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: Saints offense, 24-plus points and four straight, then six. Two
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: for 10 on third down, just 3.3 yards per play.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: so they're hoping the showing by their offense last week
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: was as much about facing the number one defense in
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: football as anything else.
- 1:09:49Speaker 5: Well, Shuck doesn't even have time. He's got to get
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: rid of it to Johnson. He dives for the sticks.
- 1:09:54Speaker 5: He looked to be short initially. That is the indication,
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: and it is a stop for Minnesota.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: It's probably going to feel like going from running in
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: sand to running on grass when they line up versus
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: New York's defense. They gave up 27 points to the Commanders,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: have allowed 24-plus in three of their last four.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels to the end zone.
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: That's a touchdown, Commanders.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: They did hold Washington to 4-for-12 on third down, only
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: allowed one red zone trip. They held Jaden Daniels without
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: a touchdown pass to less than 200 yards passing. They're
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to an 86 rating by limiting them to
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: 6.5 yards per attempt.
- 1:10:33Speaker 15: Blitz.
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: He has to get rid of it on third down.
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: And their pass rush finished the job more often last
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: week coming up with five sacks on just 25 pass attempts.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, Arvold, don't call me Avril, Reese, Abdul Carter
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: with one each, cornerback Drew Phillips with a pair, which
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: tells you they too used the blitz a lot last week.
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: They've sent five plus 40% of the time this year.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: They did so 62% of the time last week, probably
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: aren't going to dial it back after watching Shuck struggle
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: against it. What they did not do well a week
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: ago and haven't this year is play the run game well.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: They gave up over 100 yards to Daniels as a runner,
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: two scores. Another TD to Jacory Kroski-Merritt, 82 yards on
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: 7.5 per attempt. allowing an ugly 5-2 a carry for 2026.
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: Shuck can run, but not like Daniels, and the Saints'
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: rush attack is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry overall,
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: only 81 yards per game, so something has to give
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: on that front, right? Feels like it's been forever since
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: the Jets were heading to New England off a win
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: early in the year with a chance to maybe make
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: a statement. Three-game losing streak snapped, shot to get to
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: a 3-3 record.
- 1:11:59Speaker 9: Watson chased out, Bailey's trying to run him down, and
- 1:12:03Speaker 9: Watson is sacked!
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: 2026 Patriots feeling a little Bruce Wayne these days. They
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: were down in that pit, people writing them off, but
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: the dark night rose, and now it looks like they
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: are too. Their quarterback again looking like the runner-up MVP
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: he was a year ago.
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: Moses the block, the time, always going to go deep.
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: Got him! Touchdown!
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Drake is flowing again. May lit up Vegas' secondary like
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: the tree Sally was holding in Nightmare Before Christmas. 370
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: plus yards, four TDs, no picks for anybody to be
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: upset about how they happened. A 150 plus rate, 265
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: plus yards, back-to-back games, seven TD passes over his last two.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: Pat's offense exploding for 45 points week five, 29 the
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: week prior after not hitting 21 in their first three.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: 8.1 yards per play. Let me tell you, you don't
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: see eight yards per play very often.
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: May to the air. They get by Moses to the
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: end zone.
- 1:13:04Speaker 14: Caught.
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: Touchdown.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: May only took one sack against Vegas through 34 times.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: Left tackle Will Campbell did leave hurt last week. Enter
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: David Bailey in New York's pass rush. Bailey with a
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: sack trick versus Cleveland. Rookie has five sacks now. Jets
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: planted Deshaun Watson eight times. Hit him 13 times. Pressured
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: him almost 60% of his throws. Blitzing him 50% of
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: the time. Now, they don't usually blitz that often, nor
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: produce that kind of heat. They had nine sacks before
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: they stacked all those up last week, but their secondary
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: fed off it. They held Watson to 155 yards, fewer
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: than five yards per attempt, a sub-70 rate. Again, they
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: weren't playing quarterbacks at that level through four weeks, but
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: if they want to make this a game... they may
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: need to versus may.
- 1:13:59Speaker 9: Watson pressure coming, throws end zone, and it's incomplete. Stevens
- 1:14:03Speaker 9: got a hand on it.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: New York's defense has been keeping them in games, held
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: Cleveland to 12 points. They've held four of the five
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: teams they've played to fewer than 24 points for a
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: 19.2 point per game average. held the Browns to a
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: piddly three yards per play, 4.6 per play for 2026
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: top five tough.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: Hudson has time, though, looking deep for Judy. He's open,
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: and it's nearly intercepted.
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: They gave up a 29-yard TD to Denzel Boston. Cornerback
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Brandon Stevens gave up the touchdown in 50 yards. Cornerback
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: Jarvis Brownlee gave up 67 yards, many of those to
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: Isaiah Bond, who went for 74 yards against them. Five
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: Patriots hit for 40-plus yards versus Vegas. Tight end Henry
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: caught his first TD, 44 yards. Eli Raridon with a
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: season-high 57 yards.
- 1:14:52Speaker 4: Down the sideline, he's got him! Terrific throw, rear it,
- 1:14:55Speaker 4: and comes up with it in flight.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Hey, can somebody text CJ? We did, in fact, hear
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: from Efton Chisholm III again. I don't think we were
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: supposed to, right? Followed up his game winner with 57 yards.
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: Downfield, what a catch! It's made downfield, grabbed by Chisholm.
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with this matchup, but felt
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: like Efton's fellow practice squatter fit well here.
- 1:15:17Speaker 12: He is really good at creating separation.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: Demario Douglas caught two Drake TDs, season-high 65 yards.
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: Wide open, second touchdown reception to Demario Douglas.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: And Kyle Williams with a 34-yard TD, and once again,
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: a season-high 91-yard game.
- 1:15:35Speaker 4: Going deep, and he's got him at the goal line, caught.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: Williams, touchdown!
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: New England's run game also rolls in feeling groovy, while
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: Travion Henderson may not. He also left hurt a week ago.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: But as a team, 165 rush yards on over five
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: a pop, Corey Kiner, 52 yards, 8-7 a carry, broke
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: a 32-yarder, and Ramondre Stevenson, 64 yards, 4.9 per, and
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: a score, he was scuffling his last couple of games.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: under 3-7 in attempt in three of his previous four,
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: so last week a nice little confidence booster.
- 1:16:11Speaker 4: First and goal, Ramondre Stevenson, knifing! That is a corkscrew touchdown!
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Jets had no issue with Quinshawn Judkins, holding him to
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: 3-1 a carry, season average at 4.2 per try. If
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: their D can slow New England's offense, can their own
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: O come up with some points? They won last week,
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: but only 17 points, only 4.2 yards per play, two
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: red zone trips that they didn't cash in, They're averaging
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: 18 a game overall, fewer than five yards per play.
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: Geno off his back foot, incomplete. The pressure was coming.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: Last week, the first sub-90 rate game for Geno Smith
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: still hasn't thrown an INT clocked out of his Cleveland
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: shift with only 182 yards. That's back-to-back weeks without 185
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: yards through the air. He took four sacks on 30
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: pass attempts. Guard Joe Tippman gave up two and a
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: half per next-gen stats. Center Josh Myers, one and a half.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: Geno has taken three-plus sacks four straight games.
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: Play fix. Wessinger coming. Ball is out.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: It's loose, and it's picked up by the Browns.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: Patriots pass rush. He tries to elude this week. Got
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: to Kirk Cousins three times. Elijah Ponder with two. They
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: have 11 over two games. Average pressure rate, so not
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: a bad pass rush, not elite. Defense had allowed 26-plus
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: points two games in a row. Held the Raiders to 17,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: so under 18 points in three of five games.
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: They bring four. Here they come.
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: Ponder got them. Ball is free.
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: Will Geno have to worry about corner Christian Gonzalez or
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: Carlton Davis? Both guys missed last week. Cornerback Charles Woods
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: left hurt last.
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: Week, too.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: New England gave up over 290 yards to Kirk Cousins
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: and Fernando Mendoza. Over eight yards per attempt, a 100-plus rate,
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: 110 yards, and a touchdown allowed to Brock Bowers. Don't
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: get me wrong. None of it ever mattered. empty stats
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: if you want to see them that way, just reporting
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: the stats in this case.
- 1:18:09Speaker 4: From every angle, and Cousins throws, and it's broken up beautifully.
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: On the side.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Jets only had one pass catcher go for 27-plus yards.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: Tight end Kenyon Sadiq suffered a concussion. Garrett Wilson dropped
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: 104 yards, scored third TD of the year, 200-plus yard
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: games in his last three.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: Wilson spinning away.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson at the 10, 5, touchdown!
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Ground game on this side. Patriots held Ashton Jenty to
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: 2.7 a carry, holding runners overall to 4 a carry.
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: So far, so good on that front in general. Have
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: to wait and see if they face Brees Hall. He
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: was out last week hurt. Braylon Allen, though, filled in nicely,
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: going for 160 yards on 4-8 a try.
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: He scored, too.
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: Allen's got some room.
- 1:18:54Speaker 9: Braylon Allen at the 10, 5, and he takes it in!
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home with a different vibe. Finally
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: got on the board last week with a huge upset
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: win on the road. And hey, man, maybe the Bucs
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: ponied up to Baker too soon.
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: Am I right?
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: Daniels deep down.
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: Wide open. Complete breakdown of the secondary. Tez Johnson.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: They welcome the Steelers to town. Pittsburgh Deb better be
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: on her toes. Dad's probably feeling a little frisky because
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: his team's offense is starting to look a little frisky themselves.
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: Across the middle, wide open.
- 1:19:29Speaker 10: There he goes into the end zone for the second
- 1:19:33Speaker 10: time today.
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: Friermuth has a touchdown.
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: Hey, man, Steelers on a three-game run of 24-plus points.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: Guy behind the wheel isn't a pup, so, you know,
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: it can take some time to get things revved up.
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: But once it happens, well, you get those commercials where
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: they show the couple in bathtubs looking at the sunset together.
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, three TDs last week versus Indy, no picks,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: a rate over 120. That's three straight games A-Rod has
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: tossed three touchdowns, too. After taking five sacks to the
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: Browns Week 4, only took one versus the Colts on
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: 31 pass attempts. Pass rush Rodgers is looking at. Didn't
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: get to Prescott once on 42 pass attempts. They did
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: get Reuben Bain back. They only have six sacks total
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: for 2026. A-Rod has to be ready for lots of blitzes, though.
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: They sent five-plus over 40% of Dak's throws. Fits their
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: average for the year, too. The overall defense, Rodgers and company,
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: are eyeballing. They've held their last two opponents under 18 points,
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: holding a Cowboys O that had put up 30-plus and
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: three straight to 16.
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: Throw is incomplete. Zion McCollum covering on the play. Worth that.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Steelers offense taking on a defense holding teams to 22
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: points per game. They've held it under 24 points, four straight,
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: held Dallas to four for 10 on third down, their
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: top 10 on third down for 2026. Red zone D
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: also top 10 good. They have an INT per game
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: after picking off Dak Prescott twice, holding quarterbacks under a
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: 90 rating after holding Dak to.
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: A 69 rate.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: Completely erased C.D. Lamb, holding him to nine yards.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: Prescott under pressure, fires over the middle, it's deflected and
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: picked off!
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: They did give up 130 yards and a touchdown to
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: George Pickens, 90 yards to Ryan Flanoy. NextGenStats tagged corner
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: Jacob Parrish with allowing 107 yards, but He also knocked
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: down four passes. That's a lot of PDs in one game.
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Rodgers leaned on three guys primarily week five. Tight end
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: Pat Friermuth, who he hit for two TDs and 44 yards.
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: Jeremy Bernard, a season-high 80 yards.
- 1:21:46Speaker 10: Spinning around is Rodgers. Going to throw on the run,
- 1:21:49Speaker 10: and he's got Bernard. The rookie was waiting for it.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, 12 yards, four targets. Mount Washington, 12. Jalen Warren,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: the star of their week five showing. 87 receiving yards,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: an 80-yard TD.
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: He might be going.
- 1:22:05Speaker 10: He's going down the sideline. It is going all the way.
- 1:22:09Speaker 10: for a touchdown.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: He also broke off a 50-yard TD run, part of
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: a 101-yard game down low. Middle schoolers were overjoyed at
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: his 6'7 average. Warren, with 90-plus yards, three straight games,
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: 4'6 or better in four or five games, dude is
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: balling out to start the year.
- 1:22:27Speaker 4: Give Jalen Warren the respect that he is earning.
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: Big time respect.
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: Warren has to try and find room against one of
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: the toughest defenses to run on. Holding runners to 3.3
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: per carry held Javante Williams to 3.8 a carry and
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: 45 yards last Thursday.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Started on the ground. and he gets stuffed.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: Steelers defense last week, better than weeks three and four,
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: held Indy to 22 points, four for 15 on third down,
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: one for three in the red zone.
- 1:22:54Speaker 10: Here's a pass to Warren, and he is not able
- 1:22:58Speaker 10: to hold on as Ramsey knocked it out.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: Had given up 27 points the previous two games, they
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: only sacked Daniel Jones once and had lots of chances
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: to get to him, no takeaways. gave up over 260
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: yards to him, but they held him to 24 of
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: 44 passing, too, only 6-1 per attempt, low 70s rate.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: They're playing quarterbacks to an 86 rating so far, so
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: not too shabby.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: But let's see what it can do. Pass, knockdown, and complete.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: Okay, nobody's claiming Tampa has a QB controversy on its
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: hands yet. This Jalen Daniels keeps it up though, and
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: who knows, one and one as a starter, and look
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: the part of a QB one last week, 19 for
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: 25 for 189 yards, A TD, no interceptions, a 1-10
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: rate on the road in primetime against the Dallas Cowboys.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: To the end zone, yes! Irving for the touchdown. 15 plays,
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: two ticks under 11 minutes.
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: It's as good as the Buccaneers' offense has looked this year.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: 24 points, 7 for 13 on third down, 3 for
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: 5 in the red zone. It's the first time in
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: five games the offense has accounted For more than 20 points.
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: On the end around.
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: Inside the 10. All the way to the end zone.
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: Abuka.
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: Daniels completed passes to seven different guys versus Dallas. That
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: 64-yarder to Tez Johnson. Cade Otten, 25 yards. Chris Godwin, 37.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: Emeka Abuka, 38. only took one sack on his 25
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: pass attempts. Now he has to worry about TJ Watt
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: and company. Bucky Irving, also a big reason Tampa's O
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: came to life. He suffered through a couple of duds prior.
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: Now he barrels in off a 165-yard game, broke off
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: a 72-yard run that boosted his yard per carry average
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: to a fat 7.9 per.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: It's the third time he's hit for more than five
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: a run.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: Irving, this way and that way, and out in front.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: And this half begins with Bucky Irving.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Pittsburgh faced Jonathan Taylor last week, held him to three
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: a carry, 45 yards, brought their season average down to
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: an even four per attempt.
- 1:25:07Speaker 10: Taylor bouncing outside, now cuts back, and he loses a yard.
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: Washington heads west this week. Probably good to get out
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: of town. They were the talk of the NFL town
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: all week. Not for the right reason. Why the face,
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: as Phil Dunphy would put it. What the football indeed.
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: They don't have a timeout. What are they doing?
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
- 1:25:28Speaker 14: They gotta get up and spike it. The clock ran
- 1:25:30Speaker 14: out as Daniels ran the ball.
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: No tie has ever felt more like a loss. And
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: now they have to try and rebound against the perfect
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: 5-0 San Francisco 49ers who can't suffer a letdown. after
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: emerging victorious from a heavyweight throwdown with their hated rival.
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: The last two times the Niners have started 5-0, they
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: made the final dance. Lost both, but still, they're looking
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: to start 6-0 for the first time since 2019, which
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: was one of those long runs. They're hitting Week 6
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: with an offense averaging 30 a game, Best on third down.
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: Number one Red Zone O converted all three trips they
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: had versus the big, bad, dark side, put down 25
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: points on them in their house.
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: Purdy, look at Evans again, and it's in there, and
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: he's got it again! Touchdown, San Francisco!
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: Brock Purdy can still wear his big Flavor Flav clock
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: around his neck when he walks into the stadium, didn't
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: pile up big yards but still threw for two TDs
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: for a 90-plus rate against one of the toughest secondaries
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: the game has to offer, has at least two TDs
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: in every game.
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: Dancing around, looking for anything, throw it end zone, it
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: is caught!
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Yes, he threw his second INT, and he took his
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: first sack of the year, got dropped three times by Seattle.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: Purdy, pressure in his face, sacked! First time he's been
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: sacked all year!
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: But think of it like a Craig Debo fight. He
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: took his lumps, still walked out with Debbie after he
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: dropped him with that brick to the chops. Commander secondary
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: is going to look like red to him by comparison,
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: and literally they'll be wearing red too. They just gave
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: up over 325 yards and three TDs to Jameis Winston,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: letting him put up a huge second-half comeback. They've given
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: up a 103 rate and over 255 passing yards per
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: game so far.
- 1:27:25Speaker 14: Washington's defense allowing 27 points to New York.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: They've given up 29 points per game, only two teams
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: more generous, and no team more inviting in the red zone?
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: Let New York convert all three trips when they made
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: it inside the 20.
- 1:27:43Speaker 14: Winston to throw, does, end zone, fires, caught for a
- 1:27:48Speaker 14: giant touchdown!
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: Commanders' pass rush will be challenged to track Purdy down.
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: They got to Winston twice, but he threw 54 times.
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: They don't even have a two-sack-a-game average. They gave up
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: 121 yards and a touchdown to Malik Neighbors. 94 yards
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: and two TDs to tight end Isaiah Likely. Corner Rasul
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: Douglas with 82 yards and a touchdown allowed. Mike Sainristill,
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: 69 yards and a score given up. He's given up
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: six touchdowns now, most in the NFL. Hope he doesn't
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: have to try and guard Mike Evans. He scored again,
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: season-high 113 yards. He was the only Niner with more
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: than 25 yards.
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: George Kittle cooled off to 24.
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: CMC with 15 receiving yards, 68 rushing yards, 6-2 a
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: carry and a touchdown, his third.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: Game George Kittle cooled off to 24. CMC with 15
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: receiving yards, 68 rushing yards, 6-2 a carry and a touchdown,
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: his third game popping for 5-plus a run. Washington has
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: been tough on runners, holding them to 3-9 per attempt.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: They did give up 4.5 a carry to Cam Scadaboo,
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: only 59 yards though, so it wasn't a huge issue.
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: And until they spaced off an OT... Their Jaden Daniels
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: offense wasn't a huge issue either. 27 points is usually
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: enough to take care of business. Daniels, returning and cashing
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: in two runs for touchdowns, racked 103 rush yards on
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: a fat 11.4 a run. He threw for 199 yards,
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: 8 per attempt. just didn't throw for any touchdowns. Team
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: only made it inside the 20 once. They went four
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: for 12 on third down. They haven't fared well in
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: either of those areas for the season, too. He took
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: five sacks, only 25 pass attempts.
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: Pressure from behind. Oh, they trip him up. He tried
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: to get away.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: Washington quarterbacks had only taken five in their previous four games.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: San Francisco's pass rush only had six bags until Week 5,
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: and then blew up Sam Darnold five times sans Nick
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: Bosa on 29 pass attempts. Five different guys made it home.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: They gave up 29 points to Seattle, but they had
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: to combat three turnovers by their own offense and special teams.
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: They held Seattle to 4.2 yards per play and 3
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: for 12 on third down. They're still sitting on the
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: third lowest points per game average. and they came up
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: with four takeaways, one a fumble they recovered in the
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: end zone.
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: It's going to run here. Oh, my God. The ball
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: is loose in the end zone. Do the Niners have it?
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: They do.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: And Daniels has a secondary on his hands that picked
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: off Darnold twice, is holding quarterbacks to the eighth lowest
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: rate in 2026, just 6.1 per attempt.
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: Fred Warner on a blitz.
- 1:30:36Speaker 12: It's picked up.
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: Darnold forced out of the field. It is intercepted. Renardo Green.
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: They did give up 102 yards and a touchdown to JSN.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin isn't on Smith and Jigba's level, but he's
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: still pretty good. Returned from injury and went for 62 yards.
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: For two. Yes. Terry McLaurin.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: And tight end Chigokonkwo, 60 yards.
- 1:30:59Speaker 14: On the move, and there's the tight end of Kwonkwo again.
- 1:31:02Speaker 14: Down the sideline he goes.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: He was the only other commander with more than 31 yards.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: Stephon Diggs was out hurt. Jacory Kroski-Merritt helped out down
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: low for the first time this season. Season-high 82 yards,
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: first game over 3.9 a carry.
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: Kroski-Merritt is loose. Headed to the end zone, touchdown.
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: Niners defense had no issues with Seattle's backs, held both
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: of them under 3-2 a try each, keeping runners to
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: 3-7 a carry after five weeks. The last time the
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans started a season 0-6, Boom Boom Pow was
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: the number one song in the country. Those crazy blue
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: aliens were all the rage on the big screen. Right now,
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: the fans of that two-tone team in blue are all
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: in a rage. I mean, maybe rage isn't the right word.
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: That would mean they have some level of expectation, right?
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: They are in Indianapolis this week, who is looking at
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: them the same way those two guys in that old
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Bugs Bunny cartoon looked at each other. One guy thought
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: the other guy was a hamburger, the other guy.
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: Was a hot dog.
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: The Titans are a 3-3 record to the Colts in
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: this case.
- 1:32:13Speaker 10: As Jones tries to step up, Hayward gets credit for
- 1:32:16Speaker 10: the sack.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: Neither one of these teams comes in with any mojo
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: on either side of the ball. Jonathan Taylor, only 45
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: yards last week, three per carry. He's been under 3-9
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: in three of his last four. Indy's rush attack, just
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: 66 yards versus Pittsburgh. Colts offense, 22 points, 1 for
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: 3 in the red zone, 4 for 15 on third down.
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: Third game they've finished under 24 points. Fifth game in
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: a row, Daniel Jones hasn't hit 90 on the rate meter.
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: 24 of 44 last week.
- 1:32:47Speaker 10: Jones trying to find an advantage to the end zone
- 1:32:50Speaker 10: and Treadwell almost able to reel it in.
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: He did snap his INT streak at least, but no TDs,
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: barely six yards per attempt. Is a certain somebody on
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: the sideline making him nervous maybe? You know, the way Mr.
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: Burns rattled Homer when he was trying to do his job.
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: He only took one sack versus Pittsburgh on 44 pass attempts,
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: has only taken nine total for the season. Now to
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: a Tennessee pass rush that hasn't generated much pressure this year.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: They sacked C.J. Stroud twice on 34 pass attempts last week,
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: but not a ton of pressure. Gave up a 100-plus
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: rate to him, over 260 yards, no picks, have allowed
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: a 102 rate for the season, a ridiculous 74% completion rate.
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: What the Myers can do inside is what they're missing.
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: Off the fake, handoff, completion, Hutchinson!
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: They gave up 65 yards to Xavier Hutchinson in their
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: loss to Houston, 56 to Nico Collins. Corner Elante Taylor
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: gave up a TD and a team-high 60 yards. Jones
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: did throw for over 260 yards with all that throwing
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: he did last week. Keenan Allen hauled in 45 yards.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: Josh Downs, 47 yards. Tyler Warren led the way with 83,
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: his previous high this year, 55. Jones goes in.
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: Where's Warren at the 10?
- 1:34:06Speaker 10: Fighting down the sideline, and he's out inside the 5.
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: Alec Pierce isn't allowed back till Week 7, so they
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: will take on Tennessee's defense without him. Titans gave up
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: a season-high 26 points to Houston. It's a recurring theme
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: with that defense. They spend a lot of time paddling
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: upstream due to their offense. They may not be stout
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: against the pass, but they're holding teams to 21 a game,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: a very respectable 5.2 yards per play. They've typically been
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: tough on third down, holding runners to 3.5 a carry,
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: holding the Texans to 2.9 a run. Man in motion
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: is Knoll.
- 1:34:40Speaker 13: Marks is met. Tony Adams making his start today.
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: Nonetheless, unless Tennessee's O-Face turns that frown upside down, all
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: their efforts on defense will again be fruitless. They come
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: in off a season-low three-point effort, haven't scored 21 points
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: in a game yet, one red zone trip last week,
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: an abysmal 3.2 yards per play, their 11.6 points per game,
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: almost two and a half points fewer than the next
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: worst offense.
- 1:35:08Speaker 13: Here they come again, and Ward going down again.
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: Anderson.
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: If that's not the O to straighten yourself out against,
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: not sure which one is. Indy's defense had looked good
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: weeks 3 and 4, but then they gave up 34
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: points to Pittsburgh, gave up an 80-yard receiving touchdown to
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: Jalen Warren, gave up a 50-yard scoring run to him
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: down low with 101 yards on 6-7 to carry. allowing
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: five a run to ball carriers in 2026. That's the
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: third time they've allowed 33-plus points in a game, which
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: leaves them with a 27-point-per-game allowed average.
- 1:35:43Speaker 10: Somehow he got three, and he is.
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: Once again destined for the end zone. Holt's secondary gave
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: up 235 yards, three touchdowns with a rate over 125
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers, two TDs allowed to tight end Pat
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: Fryermuth Week 5, 80 yards to Jeremy Bernard, only sacked
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: A-Rod once on 31 pass attempts. They have the lowest
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: pressure rate in the NFL.
- 1:36:07Speaker 10: It is going all the way for a touchdown, 80 yards.
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: Now on to Cam Ward, has only taken 10 sacks
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: over five games. Generally speaking, has not faced a ton
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: of pressure in 2026, but he took four sacks versus Houston.
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: He got picked off for the third game in a row.
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: No touchdowns, only 4.7 yards per attempt, a sub-84 rate
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: in four or five games, fewer than 185 through the
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: air in four or five games.
- 1:36:36Speaker 13: It's picked off, second straight possession that ends in a turnover.
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson, their top Week 5 receiver at just 53 yards,
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: Tony Pollard just 52 on the ground, only 3.7 per carry,
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: back-to-back sub-4 yard per carry games for him. Tajay Spears
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: lost a fumble. That's three straight games. They've turned it
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: over twice. 2009, by the way, Black Eyed Peas and
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: Avatar were huge.
