- 0:00Speaker 1: New England Patriots head to the Windy City on a
- 0:02Speaker 1: three-game win streak. Slow start in the rearview mirror, looking
- 0:06Speaker 1: again like a team that can dance late into January.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Smith goes to his reads, puts some touch under that pass,
- 0:13Speaker 2: and it's picked off!
- 0:15Speaker 1: What a TNF game we're being treated to. The Iceman
- 0:18Speaker 1: is back for Chicago, and boy did he look icy
- 0:21Speaker 1: in his return.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Steps away, looking, throwing across his body, and it's held
- 0:26Speaker 3: on to.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Uncle Case and Tyson can return to holding Caleb's beer,
- 0:31Speaker 1: as it should be. Williams returned from his hamstring injury,
- 0:34Speaker 1: showed no signs of any lingering issues. Smoke coming off
- 0:38Speaker 1: many of his throws, scrambled around like normal, hung over
- 0:42Speaker 1: 300 yards on Atlanta, healthy 8.5 yards per attempt, rating
- 0:46Speaker 1: over 110. Chicago's offense, notching 31 points, could have been 38th.
- 0:52Speaker 1: back to looking like an O that's going to be
- 0:54Speaker 1: tough to slow.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Williams stands in, fires a strike to Odunze. A dart.
- 1:01Speaker 1: What makes this matchup special? The QB pairing. And Drake
- 1:04Speaker 1: May is coming in cooking. Three TDs versus New York
- 1:07Speaker 1: last week. No INTs. Three plus TDs in his last
- 1:11Speaker 1: three straight.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Going to take his shot towards the end zone. And
- 1:15Speaker 3: it is caught.
- 1:17Speaker 1: With May's resurgence, a resurgent pass offense. 26 points last week.
- 1:22Speaker 1: so 26-plus and three straight.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Touchdown!
- 1:25Speaker 2: Perfect pass protection, and May picks them apart again.
- 1:29Speaker 1: May's line has been keeping him on two feet most
- 1:32Speaker 1: of the time in their last three, hasn't been sacked
- 1:35Speaker 1: twice in a game in that span, not once on
- 1:37Speaker 1: 32 pass attempts versus the Jets. However, they saw three
- 1:42Speaker 1: starters leave hurt last weekend, so track the injury report,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and now here comes a Bears pass rush that's been
- 1:48Speaker 1: showing some teeth more recently. They blew up Michael Penix
- 1:52Speaker 1: five times. No Montez Sweat, no problem. They got cornerback
- 1:56Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon back, who blitzed his way to a sack
- 1:59Speaker 1: trick in his first game of the year. Forced two fumbles.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Third and long, pressure again. Gordon with the hit on Penix!
- 2:07Speaker 3: Ball's loose!
- 2:08Speaker 1: Defense, May and company are facing, held Atlanta to 23 points,
- 2:11Speaker 1: just 3-for-12 on 3rd down. Did give up 16 in
- 2:15Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to make Bear Down a little nervous,
- 2:18Speaker 1: but they've held four of their last five opponents under 24.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Secondary May is staring at is still on shaky ground.
- 2:29Speaker 1: They gave up three TDs to Pennix, a plus 100 rate,
- 2:32Speaker 1: no INTs. That, after getting torched by Jordan Love the
- 2:36Speaker 1: week before. 60 yards, two touchdowns allowed to Kyle Pitts.
- 2:41Speaker 1: 62 yards given up to Drake London. gave up 87
- 2:43Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown to Jahan Dotson. Patriots got A.J.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Brown back, led the team with 10 targets, only 27 yards.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs caught a 42-yard TD, but now he's on IR.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Tight end, Hunter Henry scored 48 yards. Demario Douglas, only
- 3:01Speaker 1: guy coming in off a 50-plus yard game, 86 yards
- 3:04Speaker 1: and a TD. has scored back-to-back games, 65-plus yards in each.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Scramble drill as they are out of timeouts. May, the fake,
- 3:12Speaker 2: fires to the end zone.
- 3:13Speaker 3: It's caught.
- 3:14Speaker 1: New England got Travion Henderson back to 41 yards, 4.4
- 3:18Speaker 1: a run on seven attempts. Ramondre Stevenson only 2.6 a
- 3:22Speaker 1: carry versus the Jets. Corey Kiner hit at 5.2 per,
- 3:25Speaker 1: 57 yards, 11 attempts, so a nice 5.7 a run average.
- 3:31Speaker 1: he's chipped in 50-plus yards back-to-back games.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Bear's defense has been somewhat vulnerable down low. 4.5 yards
- 3:36Speaker 2: per carry allowed for the season.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Didn't give up many yards to Atlanta because they didn't
- 3:47Speaker 1: run much, but 6.8 a carry allowed to Bijan, only
- 3:51Speaker 1: faced nine of his attempts.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Try to get Bijan Robinson on his horse. Like that! Upended,
- 3:57Speaker 3: but man, is he fast.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So, on to the rest of Chicago's offense. They didn't
- 4:02Speaker 1: have Kyle Menungai last week, turf toe, so hard to
- 4:05Speaker 1: know when he's back. Roshon Johnson filled in as the
- 4:08Speaker 1: second head to their attack. Neither him or DeAndre Swift
- 4:12Speaker 1: cracked for a carry. they did account for three rushing
- 4:15Speaker 1: TDs at least.
- 4:16Speaker 4: They won't shy away from toking it up either, not
- 4:18Speaker 4: when they see New England gave up 4.6 a carry
- 4:20Speaker 4: to Braylon Allen on 17 attempts, 78 yards.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Holding backs to 4-1 per try big picture though. Caleb
- 4:40Speaker 1: takes on a pass rush that blitzes close to 40%
- 4:43Speaker 1: of the time. Average team sends five plus 32% of
- 4:47Speaker 1: the time for perspective. They got to Geno Smith three times,
- 4:51Speaker 1: have 14 now over six games. Look out for Elijah Ponder.
- 4:55Speaker 1: One sack last week, now has five and a half
- 4:58Speaker 1: for 2026.
- 5:00Speaker 3: All by himself for Ponder in the big sack. Boy,
- 5:02Speaker 3: has he been heating up or what?
- 5:04Speaker 1: Christian Barrymore, Milton Williams, the other two bags last week.
- 5:08Speaker 1: And it was those big, beefy types who ate up
- 5:10Speaker 1: Williams week six. He took four sacks on his 36
- 5:13Speaker 1: pass attempts, three of the four allowed by interior linemen.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Guard Joe Tooney gave up two per NextGenStats.
- 5:20Speaker 3: Williams pressured late, and now he's going to go down.
- 5:24Speaker 1: The aerial battle on this side. Kalief Raymond, only 18
- 5:28Speaker 1: yards versus the Falcons. Zabion Thomas, 25. Swift and Roshan
- 5:32Speaker 1: combined for 60. Romo Dunzey, 39, Colston Loveland with a
- 5:37Speaker 1: great TD catch, 65 yards, 55 plus in two of
- 5:41Speaker 1: his last three, so starting to pop a little after
- 5:44Speaker 1: a slow first three weeks.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Quick, they get it outside. Loveland has a couple blocks.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Loveland is tackled inside the two.
- 5:51Speaker 1: And Luther Burden caught all eight of his targets, season-high
- 5:55Speaker 1: 95 yards. He's their leading receiver. 60-plus yards in four
- 5:59Speaker 1: of six games now.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Wide open, it's Burton. First down and more, and he's
- 6:04Speaker 5: such a twitchy receiver.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Safety Craig Woodson allowed the TD and 80 yards. New
- 6:10Speaker 1: England's secondary gave up over 250 yards to Smith, over
- 6:13Speaker 1: eight yards per attempt. Picked him off, though, to hold
- 6:16Speaker 1: him under a 90 rate. Their day versus Geno, kind
- 6:20Speaker 1: of in line with their body of work so far
- 6:22Speaker 1: against the pass.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Rolls out, going to fire up the seam. It is cut.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Bears, you are the latest contestant on These Flags Are
- 6:32Speaker 1: For You. Saw the yellow fly against them 12 times
- 6:36Speaker 1: versus Atlanta. Going to end the season with some seriously
- 6:39Speaker 1: buff zebras. Finally, a crowd the Saints can play in
- 6:43Speaker 1: front of that gets their logo. Aside from the fans
- 6:46Speaker 1: they play in front of in New Orleans, of course,
- 6:49Speaker 1: packing their bags to visit the home of Pepe Le Pew,
- 6:52Speaker 1: Inspector Clouseau, and his buddy Juju. First ever game in France,
- 6:56Speaker 1: and the Saints are flying in in a good mood.
- 6:59Speaker 6: Padding the feet, running out of time, a duck to
- 7:03Speaker 6: the end zone incomplete.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Steelers meeting them there, not riding in with coconuts. The
- 7:08Speaker 1: swallow may fly south with the sun, so maybe that's
- 7:11Speaker 1: how they're going to get dropped off there. And they
- 7:13Speaker 1: too are in good spirits after climbing to 4-2.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Rogers gets it out quickly. Bernard stretching, touchdown!
- 7:21Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting coconuts migrate either. Not sure if Aaron
- 7:25Speaker 1: Rodgers will have to deal with that French guard at
- 7:27Speaker 1: the top of that one castle, but he comes off
- 7:29Speaker 1: a game that saw him throw a game-winning overtime touchdown,
- 7:33Speaker 1: has thrown two to three TDs in four straight games now,
- 7:36Speaker 1: Pittsburgh clicking for 24-plus points in four straight. 26 versus
- 7:40Speaker 1: Tampa Bay.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Rogers pulls it. Washington's wide open and it's a touchdown.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Can be better. Only five for 15 on third down.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Left points on the board half the time they were
- 7:51Speaker 1: in the red zone. But New Orleans secondary and defense overall,
- 7:55Speaker 1: the kind Pittsburgh could tidy up against. Almost blew a
- 7:59Speaker 1: 24-point lead versus New York. Gave up 27 points. Only
- 8:03Speaker 1: one team allowing more points per game.
- 8:05Speaker 6: End zone for Likely, and this game has turned around
- 8:09Speaker 6: quite quickly.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Saints secondary Rogers Faces gave up 395 yards to New
- 8:15Speaker 1: York's quarterbacks. They don't sport good digits versus the pass
- 8:19Speaker 1: for the year. Luckily, they faced Jameis Winston for a
- 8:22Speaker 1: large portion of the game last week, picked him off twice,
- 8:25Speaker 1: stopped J.J. McCarthy on the last play to seal it,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and picked him off once, too. Three INT games are
- 8:32Speaker 1: still three INT games.
- 8:34Speaker 6: For New Orleans defense, oh, Jameis Winston delivers it right
- 8:38Speaker 6: to Martin Emerson Jr.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Their DBs gave up 66 yards to Charlie Jones, 99
- 8:44Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown to tight end Isaiah Likely, 165
- 8:49Speaker 1: yards to Malik Neighbors. Cornerback Quincy Riley allowed 80 yards.
- 8:53Speaker 1: He's given up the most yards on the team this season.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Now here comes DK Metcalf, 93 yards versus Tampa, 90-plus
- 9:01Speaker 1: in two of his last three.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Completes it to Metcalf, down the sideline.
- 9:05Speaker 7: Well, DK Metcalf has awoke. They're waking up Godzilla out
- 9:07Speaker 7: here on the edge.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Rookie Jeremy Bernard, with 80-plus yards back-to-back games, after checking
- 9:13Speaker 1: out with a season-high 87 last week, scored his first
- 9:16Speaker 1: NFL TD.
- 9:17Speaker 8: For a young receiver to have this chemistry, this seems
- 9:20Speaker 8: like Aaron Rodgers' most trusted weapon.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Rodgers did take five sacks in their win. Second time
- 9:26Speaker 1: in his last three, he's taken that many too. Right
- 9:28Speaker 1: tackle Max Iannaccior gave up two per NextGenStats, has now
- 9:33Speaker 1: allowed a team high four overall.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Rodgers trying to keep this one alive. Not this time.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Tampa gets him to the crown.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Saints pass rush. Track down Winston four times.
- 9:43Speaker 3: J.J. once.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Carl Granderson one and a half. Chase Young one and
- 9:47Speaker 1: a half. He has five and a half for 2026 now.
- 9:51Speaker 1: The team has 15 over six games.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Comes an extra body for the Saints on pressure and
- 9:56Speaker 6: it's going to lead to another stop.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Saints have not been stout this the run. 4.8 yards
- 10:01Speaker 1: per carry allowed to runners. Didn't face many running back
- 10:05Speaker 1: attempts versus New York. Gave up a couple of 20
- 10:07Speaker 1: plus yard runs though. One, a wide receiver sweep and
- 10:11Speaker 1: McCarthy took off on a broken play.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Now he's going to take off. Up the middle of
- 10:15Speaker 3: the field, J.J. McCarthy.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't usually do that, and Jalen Warren cooled off
- 10:21Speaker 1: after a huge week five, 3.6 a try week six,
- 10:25Speaker 1: 50 yards. He had gone for 90 plus yards his
- 10:27Speaker 1: previous three games. This game does have potential to be
- 10:31Speaker 1: pretty entertaining for all our French friends. Saints can put
- 10:34Speaker 1: up the points, 34 last week, their 25 point per
- 10:38Speaker 1: game average, 10th highest, their second best in the red zone.
- 10:42Speaker 6: It is Shuck, the push from Donaldson, and into the
- 10:45Speaker 6: end zone, punches it in.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck hasn't piled up big yards his last two games,
- 10:50Speaker 1: only 144 yards last week, but he threw three touchdowns
- 10:54Speaker 1: without being intercepted, his third game this season with three
- 10:58Speaker 1: or more TDs.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Shuck for Olave and maybe a knockout punch here in
- 11:03Speaker 6: the fourth quarter.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Didn't take a single sack versus New York on 30
- 11:07Speaker 1: pass attempts, hasn't taken more than two in a game
- 11:10Speaker 1: in four straight. He has to worry about TJ Watt
- 11:12Speaker 1: this week, of course, but he wasn't in on any
- 11:15Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh's four sacks last week. Jalen Ramsey blitzed his
- 11:19Speaker 1: way to a pair. Nick Herbig with the other two,
- 11:22Speaker 1: his first two of the year.
- 11:23Speaker 9: Daniels buying time, doesn't see Herbig behind him. What a
- 11:27Speaker 9: loss of seven on the play.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Steelers top 10 good in sacks. Their secondary has been
- 11:33Speaker 1: top 10 good when it comes to rating allowed and
- 11:35Speaker 1: completion percentage allowed. And they're holding quarterbacks to 6.1 yards
- 11:39Speaker 1: per attempt after keeping Jalen Daniels to a meager 3.8
- 11:42Speaker 1: an attempt. Held him to 164 yards, a sub 50 rate.
- 11:48Speaker 1: by picking him off twice.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Daniels high pass and it is juggled. Did Everett get
- 11:53Speaker 3: his feet in? He did.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Steelers now holding it down to 21 points per game
- 11:58Speaker 1: for 2026 after limiting Tampa Bay to 19, held them
- 12:02Speaker 1: to 3.1 yards per play.
- 12:04Speaker 3: That's elite.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Six for 19 on third down.
- 12:07Speaker 9: Daniels catches his own pass, and then he's thrown down
- 12:11Speaker 9: by Benton.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Their DBs didn't allow any Bucks to crack 50 yards.
- 12:15Speaker 1: No Saint comes off a 50-plus yard game either. Juwan
- 12:18Speaker 1: Johnson was shut out. Devon Vele, 42 yards. Chris Olave,
- 12:23Speaker 1: 43 yards. He's been under 50 yards back-to-back games. He
- 12:27Speaker 1: did at least score versus the G-men.
- 12:29Speaker 6: Shock on the comeback for Olave against Deontay Banks held on.
- 12:33Speaker 7: Wow, what a catch.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara caught a TD, 35 yards, ran for 34
- 12:38Speaker 1: yards on 4-9 a carry, his best showing so far.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Kendre Miller went for 70 yards. The Saints with a
- 12:45Speaker 1: fat 175 rush yards a week ago. Cincinnati Bengals hit
- 12:50Speaker 1: the road for a big AFC North showdown, 3-2, looking
- 12:54Speaker 1: to beat an above 500 team for the first time.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Burrow, again, wants a bunch.
- 13:01Speaker 6: Oh!
- 13:02Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, you're kidding!
- 13:04Speaker 1: They are in Baltimore, who really would like Lamar back
- 13:08Speaker 1: for this one. Snoop is fine here and there, but
- 13:11Speaker 1: he's like a glass slipper. The magic doesn't last forever.
- 13:14Speaker 5: Huntley, over the middle, deflected away. You saw Denzel Ward again.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley, just 165 yards passing last week and only
- 13:25Speaker 1: 5.3 yards per attempt versus Cleveland. Baltimore's offense, only 4.1
- 13:30Speaker 1: yards per play. Just six for 16 on third down
- 13:35Speaker 1: Bengals defense lining up with a Ravens. Oh, that's put
- 13:38Speaker 1: up 24 plus points in four of six, but we're
- 13:41Speaker 1: only able to scratch out 10 points a week ago.
- 13:44Speaker 5: And Henry fumbles a football. The ball is out at
- 13:46Speaker 5: the 34 yard line. Henry coughs it up. It's Cleveland ball.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Derek Henry's fourth quarter fumble set up Cleveland's tying score.
- 13:56Speaker 1: And so did Madagascar Marty. Maybe man flock. I don't
- 13:59Speaker 1: know what you guys did. But you have been on
- 14:01Speaker 1: the other end of some painful, maybe some would argue questionable, laundry.
- 14:06Speaker 1: But Henry, another game under 3-5 a carry. That's three
- 14:10Speaker 1: in his last four. He hits this game off a
- 14:12Speaker 1: season-low 58 yards.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Derrick Henry again. Derrick Henry upended.
- 14:18Speaker 5: Filling that hole was Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Ravens get their first taste of the Bengals' 2026 defense, which,
- 14:25Speaker 1: despite some hiccups, is still much improved compared to their
- 14:28Speaker 1: 2025 version, holding three of five teams under 23 points
- 14:33Speaker 1: for a nice 21-point-per-game average. They've been especially stingy inside
- 14:37Speaker 1: the 20, too.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Looking for help. Oh, no! Willis goes down!
- 14:44Speaker 1: Giving up 24 to Miami ahead of the bye was
- 14:47Speaker 1: slightly alarming, being they hadn't scored 14 in a game
- 14:51Speaker 1: up to that point. Bengals have been pretty bad on
- 14:54Speaker 1: third down, too, and they're giving up five a carry,
- 14:57Speaker 1: which could be a problem versus Henry.
- 15:00Speaker 10: Willis is going to have to run for it, and
- 15:03Speaker 10: he's got the first down and plenty more!
- 15:06Speaker 1: Whoever Baltimore has at quarterback, looking at a group that's
- 15:09Speaker 1: been tracking down QBs at a healthy rate, signed Jonathan Allen,
- 15:13Speaker 1: Boye Mafe, and traded for Sexy Dexy this past offseason,
- 15:17Speaker 1: how about three bags each? Bengals with 17 sacks, a
- 15:22Speaker 1: robust 40% pressure rate, while blitzing less than any team
- 15:26Speaker 1: in the league.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Lost it! And that'll do it. Cincinnati jumps on the football.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Lamar or Huntley, both sackable most games. Tyler took three
- 15:37Speaker 1: in their loss to Cleveland, their season average a little
- 15:41Speaker 1: over two a game. Bengals front doing battle with a
- 15:44Speaker 1: beat-up O-line.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Down, moving right, pressure comes down, he goes! At the 40,
- 15:48Speaker 3: it's Isaiah McGuire.
- 15:49Speaker 1: And Jackson faces a secondary holding quarterbacks to an 87 rating.
- 15:54Speaker 1: corners dj turner dax hill dj ivy takario davis safeties
- 15:59Speaker 1: jordan battle and brian cook holding passers to a nice
- 16:02Speaker 1: low 62 completion rate.
- 16:04Speaker 10: Ups up in the pocket pass was deflected passes picked
- 16:08Speaker 10: off Cincinnati's got the first turnover of our game.
- 16:11Speaker 3: It's Jordan Battle.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Only Zay Flowers with a noteworthy week six. Only guy
- 16:16Speaker 1: to check out with more than 50 yards receiving. Fairly common.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Led the team with 66 versus the Browns.
- 16:22Speaker 5: Third and 10 floating it out for Flowers with Swessinger
- 16:27Speaker 5: in pursuit.
- 16:28Speaker 3: And Zay Flowers.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Ravens defense did their part last week. They have been
- 16:33Speaker 1: for the last three games in general, holding Cleveland to
- 16:36Speaker 1: 10 points and just four yards per play. Fewer than
- 16:39Speaker 1: 24 points in three straight, no TDs allowed to Deshaun Watson,
- 16:43Speaker 1: held him under 165 yards to a sub-80 rate, now
- 16:47Speaker 1: holding passers to an 87 rating on the season.
- 16:50Speaker 5: Floating it down the sideline, looking for Boston, who was
- 16:53Speaker 5: well covered by Marlon Humphrey in its third down.
- 16:56Speaker 1: And the pass rush Joe Burrell will be looking at
- 16:58Speaker 1: comes off a five-bag shopping trip. gives them a respectable
- 17:02Speaker 1: 15 for 2026.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Pressured trying to get away spins out of contact still
- 17:08Speaker 5: on his feet and down at the 45 yard line.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Burrow hasn't been an easy dude to pester guard dalton
- 17:14Speaker 1: reisner on the hook for a team high three sacks
- 17:17Speaker 1: allowed but only nine sacks taken in five games overall
- 17:21Speaker 1: and burrow hasn't been easy to pressure either.
- 17:23Speaker 10: Time they fake the run burrow Takes it himself, has
- 17:28Speaker 10: the first down.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Ravens defense, getting down with a Bengals offense, averaging a
- 17:33Speaker 1: respectable 25 points per game, haven't been great guests in
- 17:37Speaker 1: Scott Hansen's house, but have excelled at moving the sticks.
- 17:40Speaker 10: Pass is caught, close to the line to gain, and
- 17:43Speaker 10: they're going to get it. He goes to Tanner Hudson,
- 17:46Speaker 10: who's able to move the.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Driving force behind their offense, of course, Joe Scheiste. Burrow
- 17:51Speaker 1: hit their bye with 11 touchdowns, 3 INTs. Over 270
- 17:55Speaker 1: yards per game, a 100 plus rate, second highest completion percentage,
- 18:01Speaker 1: hitting at a 71% clip.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Burrow! That's caught, that's a touchdown! Cincinnati, Tanner Hudson!
- 18:09Speaker 1: Cincinnati's most productive wide receiver so far has been Tee Higgins,
- 18:13Speaker 1: 84 yards a game, 90 plus yards in three of five.
- 18:17Speaker 10: Little dump down, pass is complete. That's the first catch
- 18:20Speaker 10: for Tee Higgins.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Jamar has gone for 70 plus yards in three of five,
- 18:25Speaker 1: more TDs than Higgins scoring four times.
- 18:28Speaker 8: Forget about 50-50 when you're throwing a Jamar chase, it's 80-20.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Tight end Mike Gasicki matching his trips to the paint
- 18:36Speaker 1: has scored in four of their five.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Burrow, back of the end zone, touchdown!
- 18:42Speaker 1: Bengals ground game in the hands of Chase Brown still.
- 18:45Speaker 11: Some turnovers right there, beautiful by Chris Johnson, the nickel player.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Slow start for CB as he's only averaging 3.5 a
- 18:52Speaker 1: carry in just 49 yards per game. Ravens defense sitting
- 18:56Speaker 1: at 3.8 yards per carry when it comes to the run,
- 18:59Speaker 1: held Cleveland to 3.2 a carry, so Brown doesn't have
- 19:02Speaker 1: an easy path to success this week.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Field gets the toss and now wants to throw it himself.
- 19:07Speaker 5: He finds nobody open, a common theme, and Concepcion just
- 19:11Speaker 5: trying to make something out of it.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Detroit at home in their den following a week off
- 19:16Speaker 1: to rest. Big interdivision matchup with Green Bay. Lions trying
- 19:20Speaker 1: to stitch back-to-back wins together for the first time. Get
- 19:23Speaker 1: off the ping-pong kick they've been on.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Third and ten. Golf will step up. He's looking deep.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Williams is there. Jamison Williams. Touchdown Detroit.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Packers roll into town on a three-game win streak. Love
- 19:36Speaker 1: beating the Bears and Cowboys as part of it. Lions
- 19:40Speaker 1: almost represent a chance to really know how good they are.
- 19:43Speaker 4: Love sneaking it over the goal line in for the
- 19:46Speaker 4: Green Bay touchdown.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Packers only putting up 23 points. versus the Alice Cowboys,
- 19:52Speaker 1: sort of in line with their general struggles to score
- 19:54Speaker 1: so far in 2026. 21 points per game for the season,
- 19:58Speaker 1: averaged 4.5 yards per play last week. The big statistical mismatch, though,
- 20:04Speaker 1: features Jordan Love versus Detroit Secondary.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Love contacted as he throws complete to Christian Watson.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Love didn't have his best game last Sunday night. He
- 20:15Speaker 1: was picked off, mid-70s rate, but Matthew Golden dropped a
- 20:19Speaker 1: couple of passes that would have changed his stats, and
- 20:22Speaker 1: he's been chucking it deep lately on the regular. 275-plus
- 20:26Speaker 1: yards in three of his last four games, over 11
- 20:29Speaker 1: yards per completion in three of their last four. Christian
- 20:33Speaker 1: Watson and Golden, the recipients of the Bombs.
- 20:37Speaker 4: Perfect touch here. In stride, Matthew Golden. Inside the 10-yard line,
- 20:42Speaker 4: first and goal, Green Bay.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Despite the drops, Golden still scored and went for 100-plus yards.
- 20:49Speaker 1: 100-plus yards in three of his last four, scores in
- 20:52Speaker 1: three of the four. Watson, 64 yards last week. He
- 20:56Speaker 1: was the only other Packer to finish with 40-plus yards,
- 20:59Speaker 1: which is becoming the norm. Those two are Love's one-two punch.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Who hits Love, but he got it to Golden first
- 21:07Speaker 4: with a gain of 20 yards to Golden.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Love gets a shot at one of the easiest secondaries
- 21:12Speaker 1: to throw on, DJ Reed. 357 yards allowed, most allowed
- 21:18Speaker 1: by any DB in the league after five weeks. Three
- 21:21Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed, a 146 rating allowed. Cornerback Roger McCreary, two touchdowns,
- 21:27Speaker 1: 297 yards allowed. Linebacker Jack Campbell, two touchdowns, 222 yards.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Group allowing a 106 rating. close to 300 yards per game.
- 21:38Speaker 1: No teams giving up more.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Cardinals reset jump ball for McBride. Pulls it in. Does
- 21:45Speaker 3: he keep his feet? And he does! Touchdown!
- 21:47Speaker 1: Now, DB Brian Branch seemed close to returning before the
- 21:51Speaker 1: Arizona game, so chance he's back for this game. They
- 21:54Speaker 1: need any help they can get. Held Arizona to 21
- 21:58Speaker 1: points last time out. First game they've held anybody under 24.
- 22:02Speaker 1: 29 points per game allowed. Not good on third down
- 22:06Speaker 1: or in the red zone.
- 22:07Speaker 6: Brissette in the end zone. Almost able to pull it in.
- 22:10Speaker 6: Jalen Brooks against Roger McCreary.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Detroit's front has been solid against the run. 4.2 yards
- 22:16Speaker 1: per carry so far. Not elite, but not bad. And
- 22:19Speaker 1: Love is looking at a pass rush that's found its
- 22:21Speaker 1: way to the quarterback 20 times. No team with more
- 22:25Speaker 1: sacks after five weeks. Aleem McNeil, 3.5. Aidan Hutchinson with 4.0.
- 22:30Speaker 1: And how about DJ Wanham leading the way with five?
- 22:34Speaker 1: Hutch may have found his star ski.
- 22:36Speaker 5: All day, nobody open. Backside pressure comes and down he goes.
- 22:42Speaker 5: DJ Wanham.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Love did take three sacks in their win last week,
- 22:46Speaker 1: two the week prior, and three and four in their
- 22:49Speaker 1: first two games. So far, 13 total in six games.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Cowboys picked up. Not the end of it, though. Love
- 22:55Speaker 4: is brought down by Kenny Clark. So the former Packer.
- 23:00Speaker 1: And once again, no run game to speak of for
- 23:03Speaker 1: Green Bay's offense. 2.2 a carry, 57 yards, 2.9 a
- 23:07Speaker 1: run for the season, no team worse. But Josh Jacobs
- 23:11Speaker 1: has been cleared to play, so help is finally on
- 23:14Speaker 1: the way. Now for another key matchup, Pack's defense gets
- 23:18Speaker 1: to see if it's able to keep up the pace
- 23:20Speaker 1: they've been on.
- 23:21Speaker 4: Nothing open, Dax scrambles and fires incomplete.
- 23:25Speaker 1: They've held three straight teams under 15 points. Say what
- 23:28Speaker 1: you want about Dallas, but holding Dak, Pickens, Seedy, and
- 23:32Speaker 1: company to 13 points and 4.3 yards per play is impressive.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Holding the Lions, though, to anything like that would be
- 23:39Speaker 1: more so. As expected, Detroit's offense has not been a problem.
- 23:44Speaker 1: At least 26 points in every game, Green Bay's defense
- 23:47Speaker 1: taking on a group Good for 32 a game, no
- 23:50Speaker 1: team averaging more after five weeks. Elite in the red zone, too.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Goff soaring across the goal line for a Detroit touchdown.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Pick your poison. Load up the box to try and
- 24:03Speaker 1: contain Gibbs. Goff gets you. Don't stack the box, and
- 24:06Speaker 1: Jameer will break off a chunky run on you, laying
- 24:09Speaker 1: down a C-notes worth of rush yards per game so
- 24:13Speaker 1: far at a 4-8 clip. Crossed the goal line with
- 24:16Speaker 1: ball in hand seven times on handoffs.
- 24:19Speaker 3: Bouncing. Oh, look at all the green to the outside.
- 24:22Speaker 5: There's the touchdown again for Jameer Gibbs.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Gibbs with two receiving touchdowns, too. 45 receiving yards per game.
- 24:30Speaker 1: One of five guys Green Bay's defenders have to worry
- 24:33Speaker 1: about when Jared lets it fly. Close to 300 yards
- 24:36Speaker 1: per game, a 1-11 rate, 12 TDs, no INTs. You
- 24:40Speaker 1: can make the case for a Gibbs-Goff shared MVP award
- 24:43Speaker 1: if they both keep it up.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Razzle dazzle all over the place.
- 24:46Speaker 5: It gets back to Gibbs and Gibbs with blockers and
- 24:49Speaker 5: space and Gibbs out of bounds.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Green Bay comes off a 2-INT game of Prescott, held
- 24:55Speaker 1: him to just 4.8 yards per attempt, a mid-60s rate.
- 24:59Speaker 1: How about the third lowest rating allowed so far for
- 25:02Speaker 1: the season, holding quarterbacks to under six yards per attempt
- 25:05Speaker 1: now and to just 9.2 yards per completion?
- 25:09Speaker 3: Prescott delivers in the middle. It's intercepted. Tried to squeeze
- 25:12Speaker 3: it in. Couldn't do it. Evan Williams and the Packers.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Their DBs gave up 73 yards to Pickens on 11 targets,
- 25:19Speaker 1: 70 to Lamb, but it took 18 targets. Prescott threw
- 25:23Speaker 1: 54 times. It was all volume. Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse
- 25:28Speaker 1: with his best 2026 outing that included his first NFL INT.
- 25:33Speaker 4: Prescott, man slips, Cisse picks. CeeDee Lamb fell down. Brandon Cisse.
- 25:40Speaker 1: As you'd expect, Detroit's top receiving threat Amonra St. Brown
- 25:44Speaker 1: leads the team in targets, catches, yards, and receiving touchdowns,
- 25:48Speaker 1: scored five times, averaging close to 75 yards per game.
- 25:52Speaker 5: With time, open is St. Brown at the 40. Amon
- 25:56Speaker 5: Ross St. Brown out of bounds inside the Arizona 25.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Detroit's wideout trio compliments each other the way the big
- 26:03Speaker 1: three on what's happening did. Isaac Tesla, 37 yards per game. Jamo,
- 26:09Speaker 1: 55 yards per game and two scores.
- 26:12Speaker 5: Over the middle to the end zone, it's Jamison Williams.
- 26:17Speaker 1: He's not built the same, but he's kind of their rerun. Tesla, hey, hey, hey, Dwayne.
- 26:22Speaker 12: St.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Brown, Raj, which would make Sam Laporta, surely, I guess,
- 26:26Speaker 1: three touchdowns, 63 yards per game.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Goff floating wide open.
- 26:31Speaker 5: It's Sam Laporta, untouched for the touchdown.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Gibbs can be D, being she's one of the greatest
- 26:38Speaker 1: characters in TV history. Goff has taken 11 sacks, so
- 26:42Speaker 1: more than two a game, but he hasn't faced much pressure.
- 26:45Speaker 1: you wouldn't describe their pass protection as a problem. Pack's
- 26:48Speaker 1: pass rush with 15 bags for the year, not bad.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Only one of Dak though, and he threw 54 times.
- 26:55Speaker 1: As for Gibbs, their front did handle the Cowboys' run game,
- 26:59Speaker 1: held Javonte Williams to 41 yards on just 3.7 to carry,
- 27:03Speaker 1: brought their season average down to four per run.
- 27:07Speaker 13: And Lucas Van Ness, I know you thought if you
- 27:13Speaker 13: just played two-hand touch like you did in the street
- 27:15Speaker 13: when you were a kid, you wouldn't get flagged, but you.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Must not have gotten the memo. See, we're putting new
- 27:21Speaker 1: cover sheets on all our TPS reports. And touching the quarterback,
- 27:24Speaker 1: even if you don't tackle him? Yeah, that's not legal either.
- 27:28Speaker 1: I'll make sure you get another copy of that memo.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Okay? Thanks.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Green Bay hit with 11 flags in that win.
- 27:37Speaker 3: There has been more contact and no late hit call
- 27:43Speaker 3: on that.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings at home after taking a couple of weeks off. Sorry,
- 27:48Speaker 1: they played the Saints prior to their week of rest.
- 27:51Speaker 1: That defense just makes every team seem like a bye week.
- 27:54Speaker 7: They've just got a lot of guys that can do
- 27:56Speaker 7: it for them.
- 27:57Speaker 6: Uh-oh, Shuck throws it up for grabs, and that is
- 27:59Speaker 6: the second pick of the day.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts are up next, who face the task
- 28:05Speaker 1: of trying to beat an unbeaten team a week after
- 28:08Speaker 1: losing to a winless team.
- 28:10Speaker 14: To the goal line, knocked away, and the Tennessee Titans
- 28:16Speaker 14: with Cam Ward rallying this team in the second half.
- 28:18Speaker 1: This is like if you were to lose to Glass
- 28:20Speaker 1: Joe and then have to try and beat Mike Tyson
- 28:23Speaker 1: right after that. M has a song about where Indy
- 28:26Speaker 1: currently sits, doesn't matter if they have two wins. They
- 28:29Speaker 1: were up 13-0 at halftime and lost to a winless
- 28:33Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team in front of their own paying customers
- 28:37Speaker 1: who for sure feel like they've had it up to here.
- 28:40Speaker 14: Deep throw, oh and an interception at the 11-yard line.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Only scored 20 points, turned the ball over three times.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Daniel Jones throwing two INTs for a 60 rating. Four
- 28:53Speaker 1: TDs against six INTs on the season. Mallory Archer would
- 28:57Speaker 1: warn him, that's how you get ants.
- 28:59Speaker 14: And on the move, throw, it was tipped. And what
- 29:03Speaker 14: an effort. And did he hold that in? That's Amani Booker.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Scoring on Minnesota, like trying to score with Angela Martin.
- 29:12Speaker 1: It just doesn't happen unless you have an incredible game plan.
- 29:15Speaker 1: have taken the ball away 10 times in their five games,
- 29:18Speaker 1: holding teams to 12 points per game. Toughest team on
- 29:22Speaker 1: third down and in the red zone. Sometimes the close
- 29:25Speaker 1: at gap kids are just too flashy.
- 29:28Speaker 7: Heavy situation against them.
- 29:29Speaker 6: Well, the pressure immediately gets there from Cashman. He got
- 29:32Speaker 6: it to Kamara.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Danny would be happy to drop a nickel on Minnesota's secondary.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Forget the Jackson 5. Safety Josh Metellus. Harrison Smith, corners
- 29:41Speaker 1: Byron Murphy, Isaiah Rogers, James Pierre, leading a secondary that's
- 29:45Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to the lowest rating in the league, fewer
- 29:49Speaker 1: than 175 yards per game to a 53% completion rate. ABC,
- 29:50Speaker 1: as easy as 1-2-3 indeed. Like water.
- 29:58Speaker 6: To try to battle this Minnesota defense. Another flag is thrown.
- 30:02Speaker 6: Shuck throws it right into the hands of Byron Murphy Jr.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Jones better have practiced all week facing five-plus pass rushers.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Quarterbacks might know Brian Flores is going to send the
- 30:12Speaker 1: house almost every snap, but like Em, he just don't
- 30:16Speaker 1: give a football. 69% blitz rate, obviously the highest in
- 30:21Speaker 1: the league, the highest pressure rate, and the third most
- 30:24Speaker 1: sacks after five weeks. Andrew Van Ginkle, four sacks, and
- 30:28Speaker 1: we warned everybody about Dallas Turner this preseason. He leads
- 30:32Speaker 1: the team with five and a half QB takedowns.
- 30:35Speaker 7: Block linebackers all day.
- 30:37Speaker 6: And Chuck ends up getting tripped up, and Andrew Van
- 30:40Speaker 6: Ginkle will get credit for the sack.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Great googly moogly, and now that pass rush is going
- 30:46Speaker 1: after Jones, who took six sacks last week versus a
- 30:49Speaker 1: Tennessee pass rush that was averaging two a game prior
- 30:53Speaker 1: to last week. They pressured him 46% of the time,
- 30:57Speaker 1: and he only faced a 30% blitz rate, which isn't high.
- 31:01Speaker 14: Third and 10, pressure coming on Jones, and they're going
- 31:04Speaker 14: to gavel him up inside the 30-yard line.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Jones went for over 260 yards in last week's loss.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Josh Downs, 40 yards, fewer than 50 in three straight.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Deion Burks, 41. Keenan Allen led the team with 82,
- 31:19Speaker 1: his season high.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Oh, and completes.
- 31:22Speaker 14: Inside the 25, there's Keenan Allen again, adding to his
- 31:25Speaker 14: total today.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, 57 receiving yards versus the Titans. Taylor, 94
- 31:30Speaker 1: rush yards, a score 4.5 yards per carry. He's been
- 31:34Speaker 1: all over the map, three games under 3-9 a run,
- 31:37Speaker 1: three games at 4-5 or better.
- 31:40Speaker 3: The football with a big hole.
- 31:41Speaker 14: Taylor down inside the 15-yard line.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Taylor trying to find a lane against a defense, holding
- 31:48Speaker 1: runners to a very respectable four-a-carry, so there's literally nothing
- 31:52Speaker 1: soft about their D.
- 31:54Speaker 6: There is that serve of the ball up to Kendray Miller.
- 31:57Speaker 6: He gets stuffed by Jalen Redmond, who's had a nice start.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Colts defense can't be blamed for their maladies or melodies.
- 32:04Speaker 1: They held Tennessee to 19 points, three for 10 on
- 32:07Speaker 1: third down, just 4.1 yards per play. They've held it
- 32:11Speaker 1: under 20 points in three of their last four, held
- 32:14Speaker 1: Cam Ward to 102 yards, a sub 60 rate, picked
- 32:15Speaker 1: him off. did what you'd expect a decent defense to
- 32:20Speaker 1: do against an offense like Tennessee's.
- 32:24Speaker 14: And it's intercepted from the 40-yard line. Cam Bynum takes
- 32:29Speaker 14: it back.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Now, when you hold a dude to a 59 rating
- 32:32Speaker 1: and your season rate is still 98, well, you get it.
- 32:35Speaker 1: And Indy's pass rush didn't sack Ward once on 22
- 32:39Speaker 1: pass attempts. They have 10 sacks in six games. Below
- 32:42Speaker 1: two a game is not a pretty average, and neither
- 32:45Speaker 1: is allowing 27 points per game, which is what the
- 32:48Speaker 1: Colts are still giving up despite holding the Titans to 19.
- 32:52Speaker 14: The Titans, they have blocked the Sanchez kick, and that's
- 32:55Speaker 14: a Tennessee Titan touchdown.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Vikings offense averaging 21 a game. That's nine more than
- 33:02Speaker 1: their defense is giving up, so that's been more than
- 33:04Speaker 1: enough so far, but sure. They're still hoping Kyler Murray
- 33:08Speaker 1: can find his bearings, spark up some more impressive digits
- 33:11Speaker 1: on this side of the ball, just 4.6 yards per play,
- 33:14Speaker 1: under 24 points in four or five games, Murray only
- 33:18Speaker 1: averaging 165 passing yards per game, only two TD passes.
- 33:22Speaker 1: so hoping the week off leads to some kind of improvement.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Off the fake to Jones.
- 33:27Speaker 6: Murray's got a man near side incomplete. It's through the
- 33:30Speaker 6: hands of Ty Felton.
- 33:32Speaker 1: Vikings quarterbacks have taken 15 sacks in three games. They've
- 33:36Speaker 1: faced a below-average pressure rate, though. None of their linemen
- 33:39Speaker 1: giving up a double-digit pressure rate, which is impressive. But
- 33:43Speaker 1: right tackle Brian O'Neal has given up three sacks, guard
- 33:46Speaker 1: Will Fries four and a half per NextGenStats.
- 33:49Speaker 6: Murray with pressure coming, he gets sandwiched down, has to
- 33:52Speaker 6: take the sack.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Colts DBs have three guys primarily to keep track of
- 33:56Speaker 1: when the ball flies. Jordan Addison, 40 yards per game
- 34:00Speaker 1: so far. TJ Hawkinson, 40 per outing. Jetta's 64 a
- 34:04Speaker 1: game over his four games. Jefferson has had the chance
- 34:08Speaker 1: to do the nay-nay three times.
- 34:09Speaker 3: As a quarterback.
- 34:11Speaker 6: Just bait for the AI slop fisherman out there. Aaron
- 34:12Speaker 6: Jones has provided.
- 34:14Speaker 5: Minnesota some good games on the ground, hitting at 4-2
- 34:16Speaker 5: a carry.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Averaging 82 a shift, three games with 90-plus yards. Shue
- 34:36Speaker 1: versus the run held Tony Pollard to four per carry.
- 34:40Speaker 1: That brought their average down to 4.8, so last week
- 34:43Speaker 1: better than previous outings. Many Indy fans were screaming fire
- 34:47Speaker 1: everybody after last week, including the special teams bosses, gave
- 34:52Speaker 1: up a TD on a blocked punt, plus a 58-yard
- 34:55Speaker 1: punt return. Miami Dolphins hoping a reset will give them
- 35:08Speaker 1: the energy they need to get win number one. Hey,
- 35:11Speaker 1: they're coming off their first week where they didn't lose
- 35:14Speaker 1: at least. Still, head to New York on a five-game
- 35:17Speaker 1: losing streak. Maybe the Jets could be their Huckleberry, the
- 35:27Speaker 1: way Indy was to Tennessee last week. New York, like
- 35:30Speaker 1: the Colts, has two wins and have lost four of
- 35:33Speaker 1: their last five games.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Jets offense.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Also hasn't scored 20 points in four of their last
- 35:45Speaker 1: five games, only 19 versus New England, going 0-3 in
- 35:49Speaker 1: the red zone, 3-10 on third down. They're not good
- 35:52Speaker 1: on either front overall either. Geno Smith threw a pick,
- 35:56Speaker 1: his first of the year, stings when it's in the
- 35:59Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and you're trying to mount a comeback.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Still, over 250 yards, over 8 yards per attempt, hadn't
- 36:03Speaker 2: cracked 183 his previous two games, has three games with
- 36:05Speaker 2: 245-plus yards, 85-plus rating in all six games, so he's feisty.
- 36:07Speaker 1: Hooked up with Omar Cooper for his one TD pass.
- 36:24Speaker 1: a 48-yarder that was part of a 103-yard game for
- 36:28Speaker 1: the rookie, his first game back since week one, so
- 36:31Speaker 1: that's promising.
- 36:32Speaker 3: From Smith, rolls out, going to fire, up the seam,
- 36:36Speaker 3: it is caught! Omar Cooper Jr.
- 36:41Speaker 1: No other jet rolling in off a 50-plus yard receiving game.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, 44 yards, Kenyon Sadiq, 12, Mason Taylor, 33.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Gonzalez, Smith again, fires over the middle, completion. It's Mason Taylor,
- 36:55Speaker 2: the tight end.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Jets offense taking on what might be best described as
- 36:59Speaker 1: the Alphans. Geno facing the least effective pass rush, four sacks,
- 37:03Speaker 1: no team with fewer, an abysmally low pressure rate, a
- 37:07Speaker 1: secondary giving up the highest completion percentage in the game,
- 37:10Speaker 1: allowing a 115 rate to quarterbacks, defense surrendering 26 a game,
- 37:16Speaker 1: letting offenses convert third downs almost at will. P.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Ryan, touchdown Cincinnati!
- 37:23Speaker 1: Kind of like their O, the one silver lining, they've
- 37:27Speaker 1: played runners tough, holding them to 3-7 to carry.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Brown, one man to beat. Oh, now in a whole
- 37:33Speaker 3: bunch of trouble.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Braylon Allen handled the load again for New York down
- 37:39Speaker 1: low again last week. Brees Hall missed another game hurt. Allen, though,
- 37:44Speaker 1: hits Week 7 off back-to-back strong showings. 78 yards versus
- 37:48Speaker 1: New England after going for 116 the week prior. 4.6
- 37:52Speaker 1: plus yards per carry in each.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Again slipping the initial tackle. Allen taking on all comers
- 38:00Speaker 2: on the back end of that Patriots defense.
- 38:02Speaker 1: If the Finns' anemic pass rush can't get to Geno,
- 38:05Speaker 1: not sure who they're going to get to. He took
- 38:07Speaker 1: three sacks last week, has taken three plus and five
- 38:10Speaker 1: straight now.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Here come the Patriots. Geno lit up. Sacked back at
- 38:16Speaker 2: the 21.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Jets defense now gave up close to 150 rush yards
- 38:21Speaker 1: to New England. Gave up 26 points, didn't pick off
- 38:24Speaker 1: Drake May, didn't sack him on 32 pass attempts, and
- 38:27Speaker 1: they lost three starting linemen to injury in that game.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Gave up three TDs to Drake.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Bring only three May all day to throw. Going to
- 38:36Speaker 2: take a shot towards the end zone, and it.
- 38:39Speaker 3: Is caught off.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Dolphins aren't facing a bad defense, though, just one that
- 38:44Speaker 1: didn't have a stellar week six. They have held four
- 38:46Speaker 1: of their six opponents under 24 points, and they took
- 38:49Speaker 1: the ball away from New England twice. They're holding quarterbacks
- 38:52Speaker 1: to 6.3 yards per attempt, and they have 17 sacks
- 38:56Speaker 1: in six games. Sure, an eight-spot versus Cleveland helped, but
- 39:00Speaker 1: they just have to ski uphill a lot, if you
- 39:03Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 39:03Speaker 3: The Shadows, it's caught! Douglas!
- 39:08Speaker 2: And the football comes out. Jets have it. It's Fitzpatrick
- 39:12Speaker 2: with the recovery.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Let's not be negative Nellies with regards to Miami's offense
- 39:16Speaker 1: right out of the gate. Sure, they haven't scored 14
- 39:19Speaker 1: points in four or five games, but the last time
- 39:22Speaker 1: we saw them, 24 big ones, baby. And Ollie Gordon
- 39:26Speaker 1: hit the buy off two straight good showings he led
- 39:28Speaker 1: the way versus cincinnati with 88 yards on 4.9 a
- 39:32Speaker 1: carry scored which he did the week before when he
- 39:35Speaker 1: ran for 100 yards so they got that going for them.
- 39:39Speaker 10: Gordon went right behind the extra offensive lineman and got in!
- 39:44Speaker 3: Touchdown!
- 39:45Speaker 1: They are hoping that was the start of something new
- 39:48Speaker 1: because the rest of their body of work looks akin
- 39:51Speaker 1: to Peter Griffin's physique. 14 points per game, second fewest
- 39:55Speaker 1: passing yards per game. Malik Willis completing just 56% of
- 39:59Speaker 1: his passes, only two touchdowns against four INTs, a sub-70
- 40:03Speaker 1: rate for the year.
- 40:05Speaker 10: Willis steps up in the pocket, pass was deflected, pass
- 40:08Speaker 10: is picked off.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Willis has faced one of the highest pressure rates in
- 40:12Speaker 1: the NFL 14 sacks taken.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Play action looking for help Oh, no! Willis goes down!
- 40:22Speaker 1: Finns do have two guys averaging over 50 receiving yards
- 40:25Speaker 1: a game at least. Malik Washington with 52 per contest,
- 40:29Speaker 1: by far the most targets on the team.
- 40:31Speaker 10: Pitch it out to Washington. Right side. And Washington on two!
- 40:37Speaker 10: Big time first down.
- 40:38Speaker 1: And Caleb Douglas leads them with 56 yards per game.
- 40:42Speaker 14: This throw is right on target, down the middle of
- 40:46Speaker 14: the field.
- 40:46Speaker 3: It's Caleb Douglas again.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Time to sound the alarms at SoFi, not just for
- 40:51Speaker 1: the Chargers. Both teams that call it home are in
- 40:53Speaker 1: last place. The Rams were supposed to play the Super
- 40:56Speaker 1: Bowl on that field, but couldn't beat a team there
- 40:59Speaker 1: last week. They were favored to defeat by 12-plus points.
- 41:03Speaker 3: This is for the win. It's good! And the Rams
- 41:07Speaker 3: drop to 2-4.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Trent's on the phone for them. You're 2-4. You got
- 41:11Speaker 1: it bad, baby. You need Vegas. He's going to pick
- 41:13Speaker 1: you up in a half hour. Don't need suits, but
- 41:16Speaker 1: don't be so sure. You're going to be up 500
- 41:19Speaker 1: by midnight. The Raiders may not have won last week,
- 41:21Speaker 1: but the Rams may have to double down in order
- 41:24Speaker 1: to keep up with that offense.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Heaving it toward the end zone. The man is there.
- 41:28Speaker 3: And it is caught. Incredible.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Yes, the Raiders are on a three-game losing streak, but
- 41:34Speaker 1: they went toe-to-toe with the AFC's best the last few weeks. Vegas,
- 41:39Speaker 1: with 30 points in their Week 6 loss, they are
- 41:41Speaker 1: averaging 27 a game, only five teams more potent. Kirk Cousins,
- 41:46Speaker 1: the one being handed the free breakfast and the Rain
- 41:48Speaker 1: Man sweet, Over 300 yards last week, two more TDs,
- 41:52Speaker 1: 240-plus yards in five straight, three touchdowns in five of
- 41:56Speaker 1: six games.
- 41:57Speaker 11: Kirk Cousins putting the ball right where it needs to be,
- 42:00Speaker 11: an absolute dot.
- 42:01Speaker 1: And how about zero sacks taken on 41 pass attempts,
- 42:05Speaker 1: which is paired with a Rams pass rush coming off
- 42:08Speaker 1: a zero-sack game. They only have eight all year, too.
- 42:12Speaker 1: But Kirk O'Chain's did throw a costly pick, and now
- 42:15Speaker 1: he duels with a stingy secondary, L.A. held Jacoby Brissett
- 42:19Speaker 1: to a low 70s rate, picked him off, no TDs allowed.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Only five teams have a lower rating allowed than the Rams,
- 42:26Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to 5.8 yards per attempt, second lowest. a 57%
- 42:31Speaker 1: completion rate, third lowest, second fewest passing yards per game.
- 42:35Speaker 15: On third down and five, Quentin Lake with his second
- 42:38Speaker 15: interception of the season.
- 42:40Speaker 1: They held Arizona to 18 points, brought their season average
- 42:43Speaker 1: down to 23 a game. The Cards only converted five
- 42:46Speaker 1: of their 15 third down chances and didn't even average
- 42:49Speaker 1: five yards per play against the Horns. No TDs scored.
- 42:54Speaker 1: LA stopped all five of their red zone trips. And
- 42:56Speaker 1: would they have given up that last field goal without...
- 42:59Speaker 1: You know, the assistance from Yipes.
- 43:01Speaker 6: Wow.
- 43:02Speaker 16: Personal foul. It didn't look to me like there was
- 43:04Speaker 16: forcible contact at all, was there?
- 43:06Speaker 1: Okay, technically, Yipes had red, yellow, and green stripes, but
- 43:09Speaker 1: same family nonetheless. He's the one that hawks that gum,
- 43:12Speaker 1: for what it's worth. Ram's secondary held every Cardinals pass
- 43:16Speaker 1: catcher to fewer than 55 yards. Tight end Trey McBride
- 43:19Speaker 1: cobbled 53 against them. So let's see what they do
- 43:22Speaker 1: with Brock Bowers. 70 yards versus Buffalo. That was a
- 43:26Speaker 1: season low, too.
- 43:27Speaker 3: You got third and 10. Cousins down inside the five,
- 43:31Speaker 3: and it's caught by Bowers.
- 43:32Speaker 1: His tight end buddy, Michael Mayer, 95 yards last week,
- 43:36Speaker 1: 80-plus in two of his last three.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Going to Mayer. Catches it on his hip. Avoiding the tackle, just.
- 43:42Speaker 7: Putting the brakes on.
- 43:43Speaker 1: And Trey Tucker, with both the Cousins' touchdowns plus a
- 43:46Speaker 1: team-high 97 yards, hadn't cracked 45 yards his previous three.
- 43:51Speaker 1: his second 95-plus yard game of 2026. Here on third
- 43:55Speaker 1: and eight.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Caught! Cousins got it there to Tucker.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Raiders only 65 rush yards versus Buffalo. Ashton Gentry, fifth
- 44:04Speaker 1: game in a row under four a carry, second in
- 44:06Speaker 1: a row under two eight. Mike Washington hit at 4-8
- 44:09Speaker 1: per on his nine attempts at least. The Rams are
- 44:12Speaker 1: giving up 4-4 a carry in 2026 after allowing Bam
- 44:16Speaker 1: Knight to go for 80 yards on 5-3 a try.
- 44:19Speaker 16: Arizona keeps these tight ends on the field, these big
- 44:22Speaker 16: bodies in the field.
- 44:22Speaker 3: They're going to try to run the ball right at them. L.A.
- 44:24Speaker 1: 's own backs. Plenty effective last week. Blake Corum, 4.7 per,
- 44:29Speaker 1: 47 yards. Kyron Williams, 50 yards, 5 per attempt. He's
- 44:33Speaker 1: hit for 5 a run or better four of his
- 44:36Speaker 1: last five games.
- 44:37Speaker 15: It run Kyron Williams across midfield into Cardinals territory.
- 44:42Speaker 1: On paper, Matthew Stafford looked good. Two touchdowns, no interceptions,
- 44:45Speaker 1: a 113 rate. Five TDs, no picks in his last two,
- 44:50Speaker 1: 100-plus ratings in both.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Second down and three. Play action. It is Parkinson. Reaches.
- 44:57Speaker 1: They got 80 yards from Puka Nakua. 43 coming on
- 45:01Speaker 1: one catch that set up the go-ahead TD.
- 45:03Speaker 3: Able to get rid of it. Nakua the catch. Still
- 45:06Speaker 3: going across midfield. Puka Nakua.
- 45:09Speaker 1: And yet, L.A. only managed to score 16 points versus Arizona,
- 45:14Speaker 1: who was on the road on a four-game losing streak.
- 45:17Speaker 1: and who has not played the best defense in 2026 either.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Not the fiercest pass rush, yet Stafford took three sacks.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Stafford looking hit! All comes loose! Takes the big shot
- 45:28Speaker 3: in the back.
- 45:29Speaker 1: Rams lost Devontae Adams to injury, and he's going to
- 45:32Speaker 1: be eating Taco Bell in his living room for the
- 45:34Speaker 1: next six to ten weeks. Good thing that worker made
- 45:37Speaker 1: the move with him. He and the rest of L.A.
- 45:39Speaker 1: 's pass catchers with fewer than 40 yards versus Zona, L.A.
- 45:42Speaker 1: averaging 22 points per game for the year. Disappointing to
- 45:46Speaker 1: say the least, but maybe the Raiders' defense can be
- 45:48Speaker 1: the cowbell for their fever. They gave up 33 points
- 45:52Speaker 1: to Buffalo, allowing 27 a game overall, have given up
- 45:56Speaker 1: 27-plus points in four straight.
- 45:58Speaker 7: Here he goes.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Look at this pass. Touchdown! With a little flip and six.
- 46:04Speaker 1: The secondary Stafford and at least Puka go after, gave
- 46:07Speaker 1: up 255 yards to Josh Allen, two touchdowns, no picks,
- 46:11Speaker 1: a 1-12 rate, Raid allowed for the year now over 100,
- 46:15Speaker 1: giving up close to eight yards per attempt. Stafford's line,
- 46:23Speaker 1: dealing with a group that's amassed 15 sacks in six games,
- 46:27Speaker 1: got to Allen twice on 33 pass attempts.
- 46:29Speaker 3: And L.A.
- 46:30Speaker 1: 's two-headed back attack, going after a front that gave
- 46:32Speaker 1: up 95 yards to James Cook on 4-3 a carry...
- 46:36Speaker 1: He scored on them. They are now at a 4-9
- 46:38Speaker 1: per attempt average for the season. Only three teams easier
- 46:42Speaker 1: to run on so far. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head off
- 46:46Speaker 1: for a big NFC South showdown. Despite a 1-5 record,
- 46:50Speaker 1: they get a win in this one, and they're very
- 46:52Speaker 1: much alive in that division. Just really need Baker's thumb
- 46:56Speaker 1: to heal up.
- 46:57Speaker 3: Daniels to the outside. It's picked off!
- 46:59Speaker 5: Intercepted!
- 47:01Speaker 3: Down the sideline! And the Steelers are in business!
- 47:05Speaker 1: They are in Carolina facing the division leaders, Panthers, though,
- 47:09Speaker 1: starting to build confidence. They make it three straight wins,
- 47:12Speaker 1: and they also have legit momentum on their side.
- 47:15Speaker 11: Carolina enters Week 7 with an offense that's been good
- 47:17Speaker 11: for 25-plus points in four of their five games now.
- 47:28Speaker 1: How about 29 points per game, fourth most in the NFL,
- 47:32Speaker 1: three for four in the red zone last week, 25
- 47:35Speaker 1: points versus Philadelphia. Bryce Young still dealing two TDs, no picks,
- 47:41Speaker 1: 280 plus yards. That's his season low, 11 TDs now
- 47:45Speaker 1: against only two INTs.
- 47:47Speaker 3: Young looking for the kill shot. Touchdown, Tommy Trimble.
- 47:51Speaker 11: And the Panthers might be dancing their way out of
- 47:54Speaker 11: Philadelphia with a W.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Now he faces a secondary that gave up over 250
- 47:59Speaker 1: yards to Aaron Rodgers, two touchdowns, but they also held
- 48:03Speaker 1: him to 5.2 yards per attempt and picked him off.
- 48:07Speaker 1: A sub-85 rate, they're holding quarterbacks to an 87 rating
- 48:11Speaker 1: for the year and just 6.3 yards per attempt. So
- 48:15Speaker 1: Bryce isn't dealing with morons here, Lebowski.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Pressure coming and the pass.
- 48:21Speaker 9: It's intercepted off the deflection by Robinson.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Bucks allowed 26 points to the Steelers, 23 points allowed
- 48:28Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and OT. That didn't help Todd
- 48:31Speaker 1: Bowles from fans wanting the cannons fired at him, but
- 48:35Speaker 1: they did hold Pittsburgh to 3.9 yards per play. Remember,
- 48:39Speaker 1: anything below 4 is definitely an ice cube kind of day.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Held Pittsburgh to 5 for 15 on third down, sacked
- 48:46Speaker 1: Rodgers five times, David Walker with a pair, and look
- 48:49Speaker 1: at that! Reuben Bain with his first NFL sack.
- 48:53Speaker 3: And Rodgers is taken down again. Reuben Bain, we have
- 48:57Speaker 3: proof of life.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Five sacks last week, only 11 all year. Young took
- 49:02Speaker 1: two versus Philadelphia, but it was on 39 pass attempts,
- 49:06Speaker 1: has taken two or three in each game played, but
- 49:09Speaker 1: he's throwing a lot so it comes with the territory.
- 49:12Speaker 1: And it's not stopping him from piling up yards with
- 49:14Speaker 1: Tedaroa McMillan, 86 versus Philadelphia, that's 75 plus and four
- 49:19Speaker 1: or $ 5.
- 49:20Speaker 16: Now.
- 49:20Speaker 3: And a laser beam over the middle to McMillan.
- 49:23Speaker 1: And they got Jalen Coker back, he led the team
- 49:26Speaker 1: with 97 yards last week, got four more targets than
- 49:30Speaker 1: T-Mac too.
- 49:31Speaker 11: Young out of the pocket, he will throw, and hits
- 49:33Speaker 11: his man Coker!
- 49:35Speaker 3: Big game for Coker!
- 49:37Speaker 1: Both Young's TDs in the hands of tight end Tommy Tremble,
- 49:40Speaker 1: who added 46 yards.
- 49:42Speaker 3: Number two for the tight end. The Eagles just totally
- 49:46Speaker 3: lost him.
- 49:48Speaker 1: Buck Secondary gave up 93 yards to DK Metcalf, 87
- 49:52Speaker 1: and a touchdown to Jeremy Bernard. Gave up 40 yards
- 49:55Speaker 1: on 5.7 a carry to Rico Dowdle down low, but
- 50:00Speaker 1: held Jalen Warren, who had been looking good, to 3.6
- 50:04Speaker 1: yards per carry, which fits their 3.4 per average for 2026.
- 50:08Speaker 9: Warren has been bottled up today, and as we told you,
- 50:11Speaker 9: this Tampa Bay run defense.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Is That means Chuba Hubbard is going to have to
- 50:15Speaker 1: work to keep the good times rolling, and he's been
- 50:18Speaker 1: on a roll with some butter. 120 yards a week ago,
- 50:22Speaker 1: 4.3 yards per carry, a score that's back-to-back 120-plus yard games,
- 50:27Speaker 1: still hasn't left work under 4-3 a pop.
- 50:30Speaker 8: I love this guy. I love watching Chuba Hubbard play.
- 50:33Speaker 8: Watch him run through the contact. He runs violently.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Buck's offense? Nowhere near as potent. 19 points week 6,
- 50:41Speaker 1: which is their season average. 3.1 yards per play, 6
- 50:45Speaker 1: for 19 on third down. That's ugly. Bucky Irving had
- 50:48Speaker 1: that huge game versus Dallas. 46 yards on 2.4 a
- 50:52Speaker 1: carry versus Pittsburgh, under 3.9 per attempt in three of
- 50:56Speaker 1: his last four. No one receiver with 50 yards last week.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Emeka Ibuka scored, only 48 yards. Ted Hurst, 40, Chris Godwin, 37,
- 51:06Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels, looking more undrafted QB compared to his Cowboys game,
- 51:11Speaker 1: took five sacks, only 164 yards on a piddly 3.8
- 51:16Speaker 1: yards per attempt, was picked off twice for a sub-50 rate.
- 51:20Speaker 3: He throws it late and behind out wide.
- 51:23Speaker 1: Bucks quarterbacks with the second most sacks taken in 2026
- 51:27Speaker 1: at 22, Panthers defense, not sack specialists per se, just
- 51:32Speaker 1: over two a game, but got Tanner McKee three times
- 51:35Speaker 1: and hit him 11 times, bothered him enough to hold
- 51:38Speaker 1: him in check to the tune of 215 yards, 4-8
- 51:39Speaker 1: in attempt, sub-80 rating. They are top 10 good in rating,
- 51:46Speaker 1: yards per attempt, and completion percentage allowed through six weeks.
- 51:50Speaker 3: Devontae Smith covered well by Will Lee.
- 51:54Speaker 17: III, and he is all over him.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Irving does face the worst rush defense in the league,
- 51:59Speaker 1: still giving up 5-1 to carry, even though they held
- 52:02Speaker 1: Damian Pierce to 2.9 yards per attempt, 35 yards. They
- 52:06Speaker 1: only faced 12 runs from the fourth string back. When
- 52:09Speaker 1: Carolina held Philadelphia to 222 yards, they were flagged 13
- 52:15Speaker 1: times for 149 yards. That, kids, is a franchise record
- 52:21Speaker 1: in penalty yards. The 2026 flag football season continues at
- 52:25Speaker 1: a torrid pace. Titans are off the schneid. No going
- 52:37Speaker 1: 0-17 in Tennessee this year, streaking into Week 7 on
- 52:40Speaker 1: a one-game bender. Doesn't matter how it happened, it happened.
- 52:45Speaker 3: Pressure and it's blocked! The Titans!
- 52:47Speaker 14: They have blocked the Sanchez kick, and that's a Tennessee
- 52:51Speaker 14: Titan touchdown!
- 52:52Speaker 1: They welcome the Browns to town. Hey, Miles Garrett, how
- 52:55Speaker 1: are things looking right now? 2-4 in last place, while
- 52:59Speaker 1: Cleveland is, let's see here, oh yeah! 4-2 and in
- 53:03Speaker 1: first place. Schmitz Creek for the win again. Defense again
- 53:14Speaker 1: making it possible. And it's Cleveland's defense versus Tennessee's O
- 53:18Speaker 1: that has many a dog pound member thinking 5-2 is
- 53:21Speaker 1: more than attainable. They held Baltimore to 10 points. And
- 53:24Speaker 1: before you say, well, no Lamar, remember everybody was raving
- 53:28Speaker 1: about Tyler Huntley's fill-in work. and only one person took
- 53:32Speaker 1: Cleveland on our panel last week knowing he was starting.
- 53:36Speaker 1: They held Baltimore to 4.1 yards per play, 6 for
- 53:39Speaker 1: 16 on third down, and are now 7th in points
- 53:42Speaker 1: per game allowed at 20 a game, 5th best in
- 53:45Speaker 1: the red zone.
- 53:46Speaker 3: Third and goal. Derrick Henry again.
- 53:49Speaker 18: Derrick Henry upended.
- 53:50Speaker 1: The secondary Cam Ward takes on held Huntley to 165
- 53:53Speaker 1: yards on 5.3 yards per attempt, a sub-90 rate, now
- 53:58Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to a sub-60% completion rate. They sacked Huntley
- 54:08Speaker 1: three times on 31 pass attempts without Mason Graham again.
- 54:12Speaker 1: That's 19 sacks for the year, second most, so much
- 54:15Speaker 1: for no Garrett, meaning no pass rush. Now they set
- 54:24Speaker 1: their sights on Ward in Tennessee's offense. He didn't take
- 54:27Speaker 1: any sacks versus Indy, and to their credit, he's only
- 54:30Speaker 1: been dropped more than once in a game, once in
- 54:32Speaker 1: his last three games. Unfortunately, that has not led to
- 54:36Speaker 1: offensive production or much production from Ward. He won last
- 54:40Speaker 1: week while throwing for 102 yards, only completing 50% of
- 54:43Speaker 1: his passes, picked off for the fourth game in a row.
- 54:47Speaker 1: fewer than 5.1 yards per attempt in three of his
- 54:49Speaker 1: last four, has only topped 184 yards in a game
- 54:53Speaker 1: once all year, offense has yet to account for 21
- 54:56Speaker 1: points in a game, 19 versus the Colts, still no
- 55:00Speaker 1: team with fewer points per game.
- 55:01Speaker 14: Throwing, and it's intercepted from the 40-yard line. Cam Bynum
- 55:07Speaker 14: takes it back.
- 55:08Speaker 1: The two bright spots they have to offer coming into
- 55:11Speaker 1: the week, Carnell Tate, rookie with 70 of Ward's 102 yards,
- 55:15Speaker 1: his first NFL TD.
- 55:16Speaker 3: End zone, open, touchdown, Tennessee Titans.
- 55:21Speaker 1: And Tony Pollard, 76 rush yards, four per carry.
- 55:25Speaker 3: Tony Pollard with a big run. His best run of
- 55:28Speaker 3: the day.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Brown's front just got done holding the king to 3.4
- 55:32Speaker 1: a run. They hadn't played the run great in every game,
- 55:35Speaker 1: so they shored some things up week six.
- 55:37Speaker 3: Derrick Henry and Henry fumbles a football. The ball is
- 55:41Speaker 3: out at the 34-yard line.
- 55:43Speaker 1: If you see a lot of 13-10, 10-7 types of
- 55:46Speaker 1: predictions at the end of this preview, don't be shocked.
- 55:49Speaker 1: Browns offense only found 13 points in their win, scored
- 55:53Speaker 1: 12 the week before, only topped 24 once for 2026.
- 55:56Speaker 1: This is a matchup of the lowest scoring offense and
- 55:59Speaker 1: a team 28th in points per game. Browns at 17
- 56:03Speaker 1: a contest, last place converting third downs.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Four-man pressure this time. Watson looking for Concepcion and too tall.
- 56:12Speaker 1: Their rush attack averaging 3.6 a carry after finishing at
- 56:16Speaker 1: 3-2 versus Baltimore. Didn't have Quinshawn Judkins last week. He'd
- 56:20Speaker 1: been struggling anyway. Deshawn Watson, no touchdowns. Only 164 yards
- 56:24Speaker 1: versus the Ravens. Fewer than 165 yards in three of
- 56:25Speaker 1: his last four.
- 56:26Speaker 3: Watson. Five sacks. He's taken 13 in his last two games.
- 56:33Speaker 1: 24 taken for the year now, nobody has been planted
- 56:43Speaker 1: more often.
- 56:44Speaker 3: Watson in the pocket trying to escape, and he's down!
- 56:48Speaker 1: Stacked against a Titans pass rush that split a sixer
- 56:51Speaker 1: of Danny Dimes a week ago. Jermaine Johnson with a pair,
- 56:54Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons with two.
- 56:56Speaker 14: Third and ten, pressure coming on Jones, and they're going
- 56:58Speaker 14: to gavel him up.
- 57:00Speaker 3: It's at the 30-yard line.
- 57:01Speaker 1: Watson versus a secondary that picked off Jones twice, held
- 57:05Speaker 1: him to a low 60s rate. Jones.
- 57:13Speaker 1: Titans defense held the Colts to 20 points, took the
- 57:16Speaker 1: ball away three times, are holding teams to a very
- 57:18Speaker 1: respectable 21 a game.
- 57:20Speaker 14: Gave up 94 yards on 4-5 a run to Jonathan Taylor,
- 57:22Speaker 14: but they've played most backs tough, holding runners.
- 57:24Speaker 9: To 3-8 a try.
- 57:33Speaker 1: Cleveland's Jaleel McLaughlin did carry the ball nine times for
- 57:37Speaker 1: 41 yards, a nice 4-6 per attempt. And Jerry Judy
- 57:41Speaker 1: caught four passes last week for a season-high 69 yards.
- 57:45Speaker 3: Over the middle, open is Judy! Jerry Judy on the run!
- 57:49Speaker 3: Inside the Ravens, 30 and thrown out of bounds!
- 57:53Speaker 1: This was supposed to be a premiere Monday Night Football matchup.
- 57:56Speaker 1: If you watch ESPN's promos for it, it looks like
- 57:59Speaker 1: it still. But this is game preview guy land, so
- 58:02Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you it's two 2-4 teams that
- 58:04Speaker 1: are reeling. Philadelphia, more so after finding out they will
- 58:08Speaker 1: have to go forth without Jalen Hurts for the year
- 58:11Speaker 1: in all likelihood. Scary stuff, hope he gets better soon.
- 58:14Speaker 1: The latest in what's been nothing but bad news and
- 58:17Speaker 1: bad results for the Eagles.
- 58:19Speaker 3: Eagles just trying to stay in the game.
- 58:21Speaker 11: Incomplete, Smith and Wheatley makes the play and they take
- 58:25Speaker 11: over on downs.
- 58:26Speaker 1: The hated Dallas Cowboys stumble into town. They've lost three
- 58:30Speaker 1: of their last four games. A players meeting? Unless they
- 58:33Speaker 1: talked about how to lose again, it didn't change anything.
- 58:36Speaker 3: Prescott, man slips, Cissé picks.
- 58:41Speaker 1: That Uber driver is really talking smack about Dak Prescott now.
- 58:45Speaker 3: He is struggling.
- 58:46Speaker 1: Back-to-back sub-70 rating games, two INTs versus Green Bay, just
- 58:50Speaker 1: 4.8 yards per attempt. He's piling up a lot of
- 58:54Speaker 1: yards still, but it's been a volume play the last
- 58:56Speaker 1: two games, not a quality play.
- 58:59Speaker 4: Third and eight, Prescott delivers in the middle, it's intercepted!
- 59:03Speaker 4: Tried to squeeze it in, couldn't do it.
- 59:05Speaker 5: You take the body shots, eventually the head dies and
- 59:08Speaker 5: that's exactly what happened.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Dallas hasn't scored 18 points two weeks in a row,
- 59:12Speaker 1: 13 versus Green Bay, on just 4.3 yards per play.
- 59:17Speaker 3: It's Flannoy, only a yard, that's it.
- 59:20Speaker 1: They take on a Philadelphia defense that gave up 25
- 59:22Speaker 1: points to Carolina in their most recent showcase. Three points
- 59:26Speaker 1: more than their season average. Let the Panthers cash in
- 59:29Speaker 1: three of their four red zone chances. Didn't play the
- 59:32Speaker 1: pass great, allowing two touchdowns to Bryce Young. No interceptions.
- 59:36Speaker 1: Gave up over 280 yards to him. 80-plus yards allowed
- 59:40Speaker 1: to Tedaroa McMillan. Over 90 allowed to Jalen Coker. Rare,
- 59:44Speaker 1: but Quinion Mitchell is in the rebound line. He gave
- 59:47Speaker 1: up a touchdown in 74 yards.
- 59:50Speaker 3: In his mind, Tremble's blocking.
- 59:52Speaker 8: By the time Mitchell notices that Tremble has released, it's
- 59:55Speaker 8: too late.
- 59:56Speaker 1: Eagles' pass rush got to Young twice, but it took
- 59:59Speaker 1: 39 pass attempts. 26% pressure rate, very subpar. Dak hasn't
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: been dealing with a sack issue, only one sack taken
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: on 54 pass attempts last week. He has taken two
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: or fewer sacks, five of their six games. Ryan Flanoy
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: caught his touchdown, only 40 yards. Only guys with more
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: than 40, the usual suspects. George Pickens, 73 yards. He's
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: now on a four-game streak of 70-plus yard games.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: And CeeDee Lamb, 70 yards.
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: That's 70-plus in four of his last five, but it
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: took 18 targets last week, caught nine.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Passes, so that's like getting two and a half bars
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: on your cell. And Dallas' rush game had trouble getting
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: through too. Javante Williams only 41 yards on 3.7 a run.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: He gets a Philadelphia defense that gave up 120 yards
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: to Chuba Hubbard on 4-3 per attempt.
- 1:01:01Speaker 11: Hubbard will get it and still going.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: Hubbard would not go down.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Eagles normally pretty tough to run on. Normally a pretty
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: dangerous offense to stop. But they are a shell of
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: what they were expected to be heading into week seven,
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: especially if Saquon doesn't return. They ran with a fourth-string
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: running back who didn't even hit at three yards per carry,
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: a backup quarterback who didn't even hit at five yards
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: per attempt. So not a shock. It was an offense
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: that walked off the field with only 14 points.
- 1:01:30Speaker 11: That pass turned out to be a knuckleball because it
- 1:01:34Speaker 11: was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: That's four straight games without 21 points. Tanner McKee gave
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: it his all. He took three sacks, sub-80 rate, wasn't
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: a difference maker.
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: McKee gets manhandled by Devin Lloyd.
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: Only two Eagles enter off 25-plus yard games, so Dallas
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: should know who to focus on. Devontae Smith, six more
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: targets than anybody else at 14, 75 yards and a touchdown.
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: McKee loads it up. Touchdown, Devontae Smith!
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: And tight end Dallas Goddard, 61 yards.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: McKee, step and deliver to Goddard.
- 1:02:10Speaker 17: First down.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Dallas' secondary did make Jalen Daniels look like a legit
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: quarterback a couple of weeks ago. Still, Cowboys' defense does
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: take a lot of crap, and for good reason. None
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: of their season numbers defensively are good, but they come
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: off a legit good showing against an offense that looked
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: pretty good on most fronts the week prior.
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: They held the Packers to 23 points, just 4.5 yards
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: per play.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: I only mention yards per play when it's under five,
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: and Green Bay hit the Bears defense with 31 points
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: the week before, and that was a defense others have
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: had trouble scoring on. Jordan Love torched that secondary, but
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Dallas held him to a sub-75 rate under seven yards
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: per attempt and picked him off.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: And Love, rid of it quick, and it's intercepted.
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: There are some punches and counter punches going on out
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: here tonight.
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Maybe the defensive consultant they brought in had a little
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Jennifer Melfi in him, and it made a little bit
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: of a difference. Dallas' pass rush only had five sacks
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: in their first five games. Only one team has fewer
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: bags than they do all year, yet they dropped Love
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: three times.
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: Here comes the pressure from the Cowboys, picked up. Not
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: the end of it, though. Love is brought down by
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: Kenny Clark.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: And like Onyx would tell you, but wait, there's more.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: A defense that holds a 4.7-yard-per-carry average versus runners held
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Green Bay to 2.2 per run. Bottom line, bad defensive
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: body of work coming off a solid showing, facing an
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: offense in disarray. Arizona Cardinals at home Week 7, but
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: coaches telling them the same thing Lloyd told Harry. That
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: John Denver is full of it. The Broncos aren't from
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountains, man. They're from Los Angeles, and we're
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: not in the desert. When you step on the field,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: you'll be inside SoFi Stadium again.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: This is for the win.
- 1:04:02Speaker 15: Ryland's kick is good. Their second win of the season,
- 1:04:07Speaker 15: both here at SoFi.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: They take on the 4-2 Broncos, whose defense is looking
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: more like that orange fizzy soda again. Good thing, because
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: that's all they seem to have going for them at
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: the moment.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: Darnold throws. Darnold has that one picked off.
- 1:04:22Speaker 19: Jaquan McMillan with the interception.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: Denver starting to look a little like Minnesota, don't need
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: much of an offense, and can still walk off winners.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: The secondary, Jacoby Brissett, takes on this week, picked off
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Sam Darnold twice last week without giving up a TD.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: They are now holding quarterbacks to a 73 rating, 54%
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: completion rate, and they've played the last two games without
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: PS2 at corner, so they only get stronger if he
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: comes back this week.
- 1:04:51Speaker 5: It's easy to put that on Sam Darnold, obviously, for
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: the decision, and it allows Chris Abrams' train to be
- 1:04:56Speaker 5: able to get underneath that.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: They held Seattle to 14 points, so that's back-to-back teams
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: they've held under 18, bringing their point-per-game average down to 20.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: took the ball away three times for the second game
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: in a row, and blew up Darnold five times, hit
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: him a ridiculous 17 times, averaging a healthy three bags
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: a game for 2026.
- 1:05:18Speaker 19: Chase out of the pocket, goes down, back at the
- 1:05:22Speaker 19: 31-yard line, Nick Bonito.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Well, on that front, Arizona has this to offer. Jacoby
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Brissett didn't take a single sack versus L.A. He threw
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: 35 passes, too. Hasn't taken three sacks in five of
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: six games. Two in a game kind of been the norm.
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: From the 43, the set's pass is complete.
- 1:05:41Speaker 15: Take it out across midfield and still going Elijah Higgins.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Look, Denver's not taking on a team whose latest win
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: can be explained logically. The offense versus defense matchup on
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: this side of things is super lopsided. Arizona didn't score
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: a single TD last week. 0 for 5 in the
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: red zone, fewer than five yards per play. won despite
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: only scoring 18 points. Third game, they haven't scored 22.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Their quarterback picked off sub-75 rate.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: Pass is picked off on third down and five.
- 1:06:13Speaker 16: Quentin Lake, exactly what the Cardinals couldn't do.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Brissett has ping-ponged between games where you're like, you need
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: to be careful not to underestimate him, and games where
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he's a journeyman backup bridge guy. Michael Wilson,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne can be dangerous, neither guy with 50 yards
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: last week. Tight end Trey McBride, the focal point to
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: their offense, 53 yards versus LA, that's ho-hum for him.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: He's caught at least seven passes every game.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Pass over the middle, caught by McBride.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: Cards didn't have Jeremiah Love to hand off to, see
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: if he comes back this week, but Bam Bam stepped
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: in and laid down his club. Knight with 80 yards
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: on a fat 5'3, a carry, would have made the
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Flintstones proud. It marks Arizona's best rushing performance this year.
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: Big run, take it all the way down, 10-yard line
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: by Bam Knight.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Broncos semi-blind spot remains the run game, gave up 4.3
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: yards per carry to Seattle runners, 4-7 allowed overall, so
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: it's an opening if Arizona wanted to try and load
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: up on Love.
- 1:07:16Speaker 19: Look at this, taking everybody with him. Polanyi takes it
- 1:07:20Speaker 19: to the one-yard line.
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: Remember when Mr. Burns took over the Power Plant softball team?
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: davis webb does hey sean buddy maybe it wasn't an
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: oc problem maybe bow does not in fact know football
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: nicks has not looked good in most games in 2026
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: finished with just 107 yards versus seattle that's back-to-back games
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: with fewer than 125 with peyton calling the offense just
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: four yards per attempt last week that's four straight nicks
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: has left work under five six an attempt.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: With this one covering on the play intended for waddle
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: their third and ten.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: He took two sacks a week ago, hasn't been sacked
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: three times in their last five, though, and he only
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: faced a 23% pressure rate versus Seattle. That's really low.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Not one Bronco pass catcher has finished with 60-plus receiving
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: yards two weeks in a row. Jalen Waddell, Cortland Sutton,
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: Marvin Mims, all fewer than 25 in their win last week.
- 1:08:15Speaker 19: Knicks rolling, Knicks throwing, and that is incomplete.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Are the Cardinals the team to find traction against? They
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: beat L.A., but they did give up two TDs and
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: a 100-plus rating to Matthew Stafford, are allowing a 116
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: rate overall, but they held L.A. to 16 points, so
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: who cares? Held every Rams pass catcher, save Puka, to
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: fewer than 40 yards. Let him through for a 43-yard
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: catch late. They sacked Stafford three times.
- 1:08:44Speaker 16: There's one guy that's been consistent consistently.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: In Arizona for a decade, it's been Buda Baker.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: All of that from a team that's allowing 29 points
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: a game for the year that gave up 5 a
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: carry to Kyron Williams and 4-7 to Blake Corum, and
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: are now allowing 4-4 per run for the season. And
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: once again, not much from J.K. Dobbins, their starting running back,
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: only 41 rush yards on 2.4 per try. He's now
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: checked out 5 straight games under 3-9 in attempt. Seattle
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Seahawks at home for some Sunday night football action, hoping
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: it goes better than the Thursday night football action they
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: were just a part of. No, sir, they didn't like
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: that at all.
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: Darnold throws. Darnold has that one picked off.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: 12s will have that Spicoli feeling this week.
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: They know that, dude.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: K-9 comes home for the first time, probably with a
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder. Huh, you all are 3-3 and
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: have no run game. Didn't see me as an every-down back.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: That's funny to me.
- 1:09:44Speaker 17: And Walker the call. Finds the gap.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: Oh, there he goes! Galloping! Chased by Still!
- 1:09:50Speaker 18: Touchdown!
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: Touchdown!
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, NFL rushing king, 133 yards per game, 6.3
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: yards per carry, first on both fronts, 100 plus yards
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: in four or five games, 128 on 6-7 to carry
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: last week, his fifth and sixth TDs. That sum it up.
- 1:10:08Speaker 17: Walker gets a block from Kelsey. He breaks three and dives.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Touchdown.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: And now he gets in the ring with one of
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: the toughest defenses to run on. Seattle, holding running backs
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: to 3.5 yards per carry, held J.K. Dobbins to 2.4
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: a try in their loss last week.
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: Leonard Williams reminding everybody in his 12th year what he
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: can do.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: Walker has been the star of the Kansas City offense
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: in 2026 and Week 6 versus L.A. because who knows
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: how they would have fared without him. They only put
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: up 22 points, 3 for 10 on 3rd down, and
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: just one for four in the red zone, Patrick Mahomes
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: throwing an end zone interception without throwing for a TD.
- 1:10:50Speaker 17: Intercepted in the end zone! Oh, they stopped the drive.
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: And it's track!
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Now, Kansas City's offense had been good for 24-plus points
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: in all their other games, and Mahomes piled up 272
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: yards despite not having Rasheed Rice or Tyquan Thornton, Rice
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: could be back this week, track his status. Seattle's defense
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: would sport even better numbers if they didn't have to
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: deal with their offense helping other offenses out. The two
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: games they've surrendered 24-plus points, their offense gave it up
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: three and four times. Last week, they overcame the TOs
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: and held Denver to 17 points, and that was with
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: the OT interception, setting up the last three. Three for
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: 14 on third down, just 2.9 yards per play. Perspective check.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Keeping teams to three anything is dominance.
- 1:11:37Speaker 19: Throwing, and that is incomplete. Average set time. by Witherspoon
- 1:11:43Speaker 19: fourth down.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Casey's offense, drawing a D, holding teams to 20 a game,
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: a lead at forcing teams to punt. Mahomes dealing with
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: a secondary, holding quarterbacks to a 75 rating, number one
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: in yards per attempt at 5.2 after they held Bo
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Nix to four per pass attempt, just 107 yards, first
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: in passing yards per game at 141 per contest.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: Witherspoon would have fit in very well with a legion
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: of boom.
- 1:12:09Speaker 17: Oh, perfect.
- 1:12:09Speaker 19: Richard Sherman and company.
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: Oh, perfect.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: Up front, Seattle got to Knicks twice. Their season total
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: now at 16, pressure rate over 40 for the year,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: and Mahomes won't see many blitzes as they don't use
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: them a lot. But man, are they effective when they
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: spring them. Both sacks last week came when they sent
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: an extra guy.
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: Chased and sacked. Taken down. Even worried.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: Mahomes didn't take any sacks versus the Chargers. 30 pass
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: attempts has only taken six in their five games. so
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: getting dropped hasn't been a major issue. Xavier Worthy did
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: step up as Mahomes' go-to, led the team in looks,
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards, Makes
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: two games in a row, he's topped 70.
- 1:12:51Speaker 20: Outside, Worthy has it. He's got the first down. Shoved
- 1:12:53Speaker 20: out of bounds by Still.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: From there, two tight ends. The other Chiefs with more
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: than 27 yards.
- 1:12:59Speaker 17: Trav, of course.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Kelsey, 53 yards.
- 1:13:02Speaker 17: Caught by Kelsey. And everybody's enjoying it.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: And Noah Gray with the same 53. Being chased by Barrett.
- 1:13:10Speaker 17: Down the sideline it goes. Noah Gray trying to hurdle.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: Other side of the coin now. Kansas City's defense versus
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: Seattle's offense. which is a mishmash of storylines, Seahawks averaging
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: a respectable 24 points per game, don't come off a
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: good showing though. Chiefs defense, second in points per game
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: allowed at 16 a game, second best in the red zone,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Only team tougher and giving up fewer points per game, Minnesota.
- 1:13:36Speaker 20: The coverage, and it was good there by Noel Williams.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: Fourth and goal.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: They held L.A. to six points, five for 16 on
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: third down, stopped all three of their red zone attempts,
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: held them to just 4.1 yards per play, held Justin
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: Herbert to 5.5 yards per attempt, no TDs, while picking
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: him off for a 63 rating. They're now fourth in
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: rating allowed, holding quarterbacks to 6.1 yards per attempt.
- 1:14:00Speaker 20: The red flag a Seattle fan might point out, they
- 1:14:04Speaker 20: faced Herbert, Daniel Jones, Malik Willis, and Bo Nix, four
- 1:14:08Speaker 20: of the least productive quarterbacks of 2026.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: But a KC loyalist will point out the QB they
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: face this week might qualify for that club. Hawks have
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: lost three of their last four games, and each loss,
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Sam Darnold has been picked off twice, has an INT
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: in four straight games now, two last week in their
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: loss to Denver, no TDs, a season-low 52 rating.
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: Deep.
- 1:14:42Speaker 19: And nobody there.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: Nobody at all. They lost.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Another fumble, too. Have three to four turnovers in three
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: of their last four each of those games. Losses, of course.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: They were still able to put up points in all
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: those other games, but not last week, sputtering out to
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: just 14.
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: Nick Bonito extracted it.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: Darnold and that offense should go see that Dr. Prince
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: talked about. You know the one, Dr. Everything's Gonna Be Alright.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: Maybe he can give their O-line something to help keep
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: Darnold upright more often. He's taken five sacks back-to-back games.
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: Versus San Francisco, it was guard Gray Zabel who struggled.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Last week, it was left tackle Charles Cross who gave
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: up a sack in a hefty 17% pressure rate. per NextGenStats.
- 1:15:26Speaker 19: Darnold getting chased, Darnold getting taken down.
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: While the Chiefs only have eight sacks in five games,
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: four of those did come last week. Sure, LA's O-line
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: is made up of several backup Barneys, But KC got
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: a taste of what it's like to see Mom more often,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: so maybe they'll make more visits on the regular.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: He's hit!
- 1:15:45Speaker 17: That is Karloftis, who comes up with the sack.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: Chief secondary allowed a 57-yard catch to Quentin Johnston last week,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: and that was about it. Rashid Shahid fumbled twice versus Denver,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: only lost one, chipped in 66 yards.
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: Shaheed!
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: That's the first time Shaheed has gone for more than
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: 35 yards. Cooper Cupp also put up a season high
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: going for 50 yards at least.
- 1:16:09Speaker 19: Here's Darnold, fires into the middle. And that is Cupp
- 1:16:12Speaker 19: who gets away. Cupp's trying to get to the sideline.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Into the star of the show again, JSN. Kansas City
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: should just double him every play. Not sure that would matter.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba, 134 yards week six. So that's 100
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: plus yards and five of six now. Over 700 yards
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: already for the season, he's the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: of the showroom. Not just any Trans Am, the souped-up
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: one like Kitt and Knight Rider, of course. Seattle's makeshift
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: run game has been an on-again, off-again kind of outfit.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: Three games under 100 yards, three over. They come off
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: an over-outing, at least. Emmanuel Wilson, George Helani, Velas Jones,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: their committee members, 113 yards, acceptable 4-3 per run clip
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: versus Denver.
- 1:17:03Speaker 19: Look at this, taking everybody with him. Alani takes it
- 1:17:06Speaker 19: to the one-yard line.
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: Giants on the road for Week 7. New York having
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: to try and bounce back from a dramatic Week 6 loss.
- 1:17:16Speaker 6: Here is McCarthy, padding the feet, running out of time,
- 1:17:21Speaker 6: a duck to.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: The end zone, incomplete.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: They are in Houston, Texans back at home, filled with
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: renewed hope. Still have to play with a do-or-die attitude,
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: but they did over in London, so no dying just yet.
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: And it is down the middle. The Texans win it
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: here in London.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Texans, kind of the Mr. Robot of the NFL this year.
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: Never know who you're dealing with week to week. Defense
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: has given up 30-plus points three times. The offense has
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: put up 30-plus points three times. Both those occurred versus Jacksonville.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: Houston's O, carrying them to their second win.
- 1:17:56Speaker 18: Quick hitter, wide open, and Foster Moreau takes advantage for
- 1:18:00Speaker 18: the touchdown.
- 1:18:01Speaker 6: C.J.
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: Stroud and the offense good for 26 plus points in
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: four of six games. 34 versus Jacksonville, who hadn't allowed
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: 21 to anybody. Jags secondary, one of the toughest of 2026.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Stroud hit him with three TDs, over 300 yards, over
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: nine yards per attempt. A 110-plus rate, has gone for
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: more than 300 yards three times already, 260-plus yards in
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: five of six games now, 100-plus rate, three straight, so
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: he's hitting Week 7 hot.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: Stroud floats one for no! Touchdown! Another dime from C.J.
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: Stroud.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: Did throw his first INT of the year, a red
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: zone job too, but comes off his first game without
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: taking a sack. Threw 34 times, had taken two to
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: four sacks in each game until last week. and now
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: he faces a giant's path rush that didn't come up
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: with a single sack of Tyler Shuck last week. 30
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: pass attempts. Not shocking as their sack total stuck on
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: the Ocho with Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks. Stroud drawing
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: a secondary that gave up three touchdowns to Shuck without
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: picking him off.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: Shuck for Olave. It's a touchdown for Olave.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though. So on one hand, Houston's O
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: gets a New York D that has had trouble finishing
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: off quarterbacks that gave up 34 points to New Orleans,
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: allowed them to convert all three red zone trips, and
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: have now given up 24 plus points in four of
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: their last five games. But on the other hand, they
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: held the Saints to four for 15 on third down.
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: They had to deal with their own offense and special teams,
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: giving the ball away four times. The secondary Stroud is
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: up against held Shuck to 144 yards, less than five
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: yards per attempt, have held five of the six quarterbacks
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: they've faced to fewer than 181 yards.
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: It's a blitz.
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: It's a screen against a blitz, which is often a
- 1:19:52Speaker 6: great play to run against it.
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: Giants DBs held every Saints pass catcher to fewer than
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: 44 yards. Chris Olave to 43. The one in Houston's
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: wideout room, Nico Collins. Four games this year, 74 yards
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: in three of them. That's what he went for versus Jacksonville.
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: Get him!
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: Not much from Xavier Hutchinson or Kashawn Booty week six.
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, three catches, 34 yards in his debut with
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: the Texans. Dalton Schultz, 33 yards. Jalen Knoll with a
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: huge 50-yard catch plus a score. Season-high 107 yards, 85-plus yards,
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: two of his last three.
- 1:20:34Speaker 19: Stroud.
- 1:20:35Speaker 18: Deep shot is there for Jalen Knoll.
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Plus they get tanked back. Dell riding back into action
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: in his Daewoo, making his first appearance of 2026. And
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: how about the Houston run game? Comes off its best
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: showing since week one. Against the number one rush defense
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: in football, 114 yards on 4.6 a carry, Woody Marks
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: over 50 yards, Jawar Jordan 43 yards, 7.2 per run,
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: 25-yard TD.
- 1:21:05Speaker 18: He finds a cutback lay, breaks a tackle in the secondary,
- 1:21:08Speaker 18: Jawar Jordan, touchdown!
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: They could stitch two good ground games together if they're
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: willing to feed their backs, too. New York, giving up
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: 5.1 per carry, gave up 175 rush yards to the Saints.
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: Keep in mind, they were averaging 81 a game before
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: last week. A loud 10-plus yard runs to four different guys.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: And despite all that, still almost pulled off another late-game
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: comeback thanks to a 23-year-old blonde quarterback taken in the
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: first round of the draft. Wait, Dart is back? No,
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: 9 is. I mean, 9 times 2 is. How about
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: we see what J.J. McCarthy, with a chip on his shoulder,
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: looks like for a full game in blue.
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: Looking for him! He's got it inside the 30!
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: He replaced Winston last week, who reminded folks what Jameis
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: is famous for. Two INTs, only one touchdown, just 152
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: yards for a low 50s rate. Jameis Winston throws yet
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: another interception.
- 1:22:12Speaker 6: This time it's Julian Blackman down to the 20-yard line.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: So what a way for J.J. to make an entrance.
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: Comes into that game down 34-10. Leaves New York to
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: 17 fourth-quarter points and a shot to tie it. New
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: York's offense put up 27 points, which is the third
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: time they've been good for 27 or more points three
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: straight weeks.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: Chance for McCarthy, taking.
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: A shot, ends up for Whiteley, and this game has
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: turned around quite quickly.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: Can't afford to turn the ball over four times again.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: McCarthy had a pass intercepted, and they lost a fumble,
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: only four for 14 on third down. Now McCarthy will
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: see if he can keep the late-game momentum going against
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: a Texans D off one of their subpar showings. 31
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: points allowed to Jacksonville, as mentioned. Third time they've given
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: up more than 30. Let them convert three of their
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: four red zone trips. They're normally fierce. Will Anderson, Daniil
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: Hunter-led pass rush, enters off a donut. Didn't sack Trevor
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: Lawrence once on 41 pass attempts. Their secondary gave up
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: four TDs and over 300 yards to T-Law. Third quarterback
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: they've given up over 300 yards, too.
- 1:23:24Speaker 18: Lawrence scans the field. Long throw to the sideline. He's
- 1:23:28Speaker 18: got Jacoby Myers.
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: Now, the offenses they've given up big points to? Buffalo, Dallas,
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. So Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, and Lawrence. McCarthy
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: wouldn't appear to be on the same shelf as those gents.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: And how will he fare versus Hunter and Anderson? Chances
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: of them going two games in a row without a
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: bag are low. especially when you consider Winston took four sacks,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: McCarthy took one, New York's quarterbacks taking three sacks per
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: contest after week six was over.
- 1:23:57Speaker 6: James Winston trying to navigate, and suddenly the Saints are
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: surging with some life.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: Houston's DBs gave up a touchdown in 59 yards to
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: Travis Hunter, 64 yards to Parker Washington, 83 yards to
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers. Malik Nabors is next level by comparison, comes
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: in hot too, three 100-plus yard games in a row,
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: after going for a season-high 165 versus New Orleans. Derek
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Stingley versus Neighbors, Hulk Hogan versus Rowdy Roddy Piper level fun.
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: The two to New York's one-two punch, Isaiah Likely, who
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: Ravens fans really want back. 99 yards and a score
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: versus the Saints, 90-plus yards back-to-back weeks, 65-plus and four
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: of six.
- 1:24:49Speaker 6: And Charlie Jones last week with a 49-yard catch for
- 1:24:53Speaker 6: a 66-yard day, good enough.
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: To get a mention.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: Had only played two games and had zero catches prior
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: to that.
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: And it's J.J.
- 1:25:07Speaker 6: McCarthy looking for Charlie Jones!
- 1:25:10Speaker 3: Down to the 24!
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: No Cam Scadaboo last week. They ran Tyrone Tracy six times,
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: Devin Singletary four times. Their rush attack has had trouble
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: getting it going most games in 2026. Only 84 yards
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: total versus New Orleans. Whoever sees the most carries for
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: New York is going to have to work to try
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: and get something going against Houston's front. While they did
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: give up five a run to Chris Rodriguez on his
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: 11 attempts, they held Bashaw Toon to 3.3 per try,
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: are holding running backs to 3.6 a carry for the season.
- 1:25:43Speaker 6: And it's Miller who got knocked down on his way
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: to the goal line by D.J.
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Reeder.
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: Atlanta at home again for Week 7 on a two-game skid.
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: Snapping it won't be easy either, being one of the
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: unbeatens is rolling into town. San Francisco 49ers streaking through
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: the quad with Frank the Tank, one of three teams
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: left standing without a loss. looking for the nearest KFC
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: and their seventh straight win.
- 1:26:12Speaker 12: 40 protected. Evans with a catch.
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: Here he goes.
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: 49ers looking to start 7-0 for the first time since 2019,
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: but they may need to put a call into Dajon Love.
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: played without Debo Samuel last week, saw Mike Evans leave
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: the game with a sore Achilles.
- 1:26:30Speaker 12: Playing with the bad ribs, tight Achilles tendon, and he's leaving.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: So who exactly will Brock Purdy have to work with?
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: And will he have the time to keep looking like BCB?
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: Because this matchup features a Falcons pass rush with the
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: second highest pressure rate in the game, doing battle with
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: a line allowing the least pressure in the game. Purdy
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: having only taken five sacks all year, no team has
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: allowed fewer.
- 1:26:54Speaker 12: And Brock Purdy hangs in and delivers it for 22.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Atlanta has been able to pressure quarterbacks on 42% of
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: their throws, and they have a very low blitz rate.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: so they're getting it done without sending extra bodies. They
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: have 15 sacks in their six games, picking up four
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: in their loss. Brandon Dorlis, Jervon Dexter, Zedaria Smith all
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: in on the action. Smith leads the team with three
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: and a half bags.
- 1:27:18Speaker 7: Just count on everybody.
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: That pass rush has no stars, no egos, and sometimes
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: no problem getting to the quarterback.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: But their secondary hasn't turned that heat into takeaways as
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: they only have one interception all year, and their DB
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: room is banged up too.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: C.J.
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: Henderson didn't play last week. Then they watched as Billy
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: Bowman and Avion Terrell both left the game hurt. They
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: gave up over 300 yards to Caleb Williams, a 1-11 rate.
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: Rush has time wide open.
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: It's Roma, Doontay into Falcon's territory.
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: Too easy.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: Now they take on Purdy, who's put up a 100-plus
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: rating in five of six games, over nine yards per
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: attempt versus Washington, over 260 yards with no INTs. He
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: threw his league-leading 14th TD, If he has the weapons,
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: he's as good as it gets right now.
- 1:28:03Speaker 12: San Francisco's offense started hot last week, then cooled off
- 1:28:05Speaker 12: in part due to a CMC fumble.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: They only scored 23 points still took care of three
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: of their four red zone trips to maintain their first
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: place standing inside the 20.
- 1:28:22Speaker 12: Here's McCaffrey he is in for the touchdown and they
- 1:28:26Speaker 12: are rolling.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: Niners still sitting on a 29 point per game average
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: third highest and it's the number one third down offense
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: against a defense 23rd at forcing fourth downs and Atlanta
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: has allowed 24 plus points three straight games in four
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: of their last five, giving up 25 points per game
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: after getting hit with 31 by Chicago.
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: Swift, right up the gut, and touchdown Chicago!
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: Their secondary gave up 95 yards to Luther Burden, 65
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: in a touchdown to Titan Colston Loveland, Purdy leans on
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: a tight end. Most games, of course, could lean on
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: him even more this week, depending on their wideout sitch.
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: He hit George Kittle for his lone TD versus Washington.
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: 69 yards. That's 69-plus in four of his last five.
- 1:29:12Speaker 12: Good protection, and Kittle! Hit in stride, and Kittle down
- 1:29:16Speaker 12: to the 32.
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: If Evans plays against a depleted Atlanta cornerback room, he
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: could do some things. Had 94 yards before he left Hurt,
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: would be coming off back-to-back 90-plus-yard games.
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: Evans with a catch and a roll.
- 1:29:30Speaker 12: Evans has got 16 yards and a first down.
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: And to McCaffrey, always a threat out of the backfield.
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: Nine catches for 53 yards last week. He added 64
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: rush yards and two rushing TDs, too.
- 1:29:42Speaker 12: That's McCaffrey, and that's a touchdown. I mean, barely touched
- 1:29:46Speaker 12: going into the end zone.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: Atlanta is one of the tougher teams to run on
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: as they're holding teams to 3-6 a carry. held Chicago's
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: rush attack to three per a week ago. But again,
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: they saw linebacker Divine Diablo leave hurt two last week,
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: so we'll have to wait and see if he's good
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: enough to go. This matchup, of course, features two of
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: the best dual-threat backs in the game.
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: Robinson! Oh boy! Look out! Bijan!
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: But for Bijan Robinson to be dangerous, he needs the ball.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: He only carried the ball nine times last week. Tell him,
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: Principal Rooney, just nine times. A season low, which partially
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: explains Atlanta's slow start versus Chicago's that left them with
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: just 23 points for the game. Atlanta's 23-week six points
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: matching their season average for points per game, and it's
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: going to be hard to surpass that this week being
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: they face a Niners defense with a D.C. who's really
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: going to want to stick it to them, and whose
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: defense is holding teams to 18 a game, third fewest,
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: held Washington to 17, just three for 12 on third down.
- 1:30:53Speaker 12: Quick set up to throw, and that's Diggs, and a drop,
- 1:30:56Speaker 12: and then Diggs gets plowed.
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: And their pass rush, which comes off a four-sack game
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: and has nine in their last two games.
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: Third down and nine. Daniels in trouble, and sacked.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Takes on a Falcons line that allowed five a week ago.
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: They've taken 16 overall, too, tied for 24th.
- 1:31:14Speaker 3: It's coming. Pennix is dropped. You saw it all the way.
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: Kyler Gordon.
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: Michael Pennix has not had to deal with a lot
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: of pressure, though. Atlanta with the second lowest pressure rate faced.
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: He came on late versus Chicago to end the game
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: with three touchdowns, no picks for a 100-plus rating. And
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: San Francisco did just allow Jaden Daniels to go for
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: a 110 rate by allowing two touchdowns to him. and
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: over 260 yards without picking him off.
- 1:31:45Speaker 12: Daniels got his man, and it's a touchdown to Rashad White.
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: They gave up 66 yards to Traylon Burks, 50 to
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: Antonio Williams, and 69 to tight end Chigokonkwo. Pennix found
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: tight end Kyle Pitts for two touchdowns and a season-high
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: 60 yards He's scored back-to-back weeks.
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: Drake London, 62 yards. He had been good for 95-plus
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: his previous three games, and he only caught four of
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: his ten targets last week.
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: Jahan Dotson, 87 yards, his season high.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: Jahan Dotson, nice catch and move. He's in the Bears' territory.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: Niners hit with 11 flags versus Washington. What are you
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: going to do these days? Double-digit laundry is almost the
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: norm this season.
