He said the Bengals was going to put BTA to the Ravens and boy, did they ever force five turnovers. Joe was not as sharp as he normally is, but they got the job done. Sensational defense.

We have a very special guest joining us tonight. OSA Odigi Zuwa Ziggy will be joining us a little later. But first, the game that you just watched. The Cincinnati Bengals run their record to 4 and 8 thanks to a 3214 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore dropped to 6 and 6. This was a game that the Bengals, what needed they must have in order to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They know the only way they're going to probably get into the playoffs is if they win the AFC north. And right now they're two games behind of the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. But they're very much in it because they still have the Steelers and the Ravens on their schedule again. So if they continue to win and hope some hope for some good luck, good things could possibly happen. But the Bengals tonight defensively was as good a game that you've seen them play in the last two years. Five takeaways. They pressure Lamar. Lamar was 17 of 32, 246 yards, an interception and they forced four fumbles, five total turnovers. The Bengals defense was sensational. Chase was chase 14 targets. They had seven catches for a buck 10. But I thought Tinsley stepped up. All those guys stepped up. In the absence of T. Higgins, it was a very disappointing game for the Baltimore Ravens. They knew in order to have the chance to win this division, that is still an outside chance. But they did not play their best game and we're going to dive into it. I'm trying to wait till Ocho can log on, but Lamar didn't play well tonight and we're going to talk about let's go and get this out the way. In the game the Buffalo Bills lost especially the 30 nothing game that lost to the Falcons, I think and I think they lost another game to the Houston Texans. Josh Allen didn't play well in those ball games. He turned the ball over and, and that's not good enough for them to win. We've got that aside. So now when we address Lamar Jackson, we don't want to hear what about Josh Allen? Because we don't do that with any other quarterbacks. When Tua plays bad, we don't say well what about C.J. stroud? What about Jordan Love? We don't do that. We only do that with Lamar Jackson. So we're not going to do that tonight. Lamar Jackson is a two time league mvp. He's a multiple time all pro and, and a Pro bowl player and he was once voted the best player in the NFL by his peers. That, that can never be taken away. But we're going to address Lamar Jackson tonight and only tonight. We're not going to talk about what he did next week. We're not going to talk about what he did in the previous game. We're only going to address tonight and we're not talking about Josh Allen, we're not talking about any other quarterback. We're going to address Lamar Jackson because I know chat what y' all try to do. Well, you're not that hard. You don't. Yes, we are. Yes we are. When Josh Allen played bad, we kill Josh Allen. When Dak play bad, we jump on that. So what we're gonna do tonight, Lamar Jackson didn't play well and we're gonna address it as such. He close. But let's take the Bingles at first. We're waiting for Ocho to, to get logged on. He was at the game tonight and kind of got caught up in some traffic and, and so we, hopefully he can get to us in the next couple of minutes. His camera is already set up in his room before he left. So we're hoping Ocho can join us real, real soon. But Joe Burrow, 26, 24, 46, 261, two touchdowns, no interceptions. Only got sacked once. They ran the ball okay tonight. I thought Chase Brown ran the ball extremely hard tonight. 15 carries for 78 yards. P. Ryan, minus that one fumble that P. Ryan had. They, they, they played really, really well. That was really the only hiccup in the game. But that defense, the defense was, this was the best in the last two years that we've seen this defense play. And we know what they have offensively. They got one of the better quarterbacks. In the league. They got the best wide receiver in the league. Offensive line is vastly improved. They play well, played well tonight. They don't have the greatest running game, but Chase Brown ran hard tonight. He and P. Ryan combined. They ran for over 100 yards. But when you get your defense like this, Baltimore got the ball, goes right down the field and scores a touchdown. And after that, that defense said, no, not tonight. Not tonight. Lamar Jackson missed throws. Yes. Isaiah Likely, bro. You get the same amount of points whether you go into with the ball tucked up on your arm or you're getting ready to raise it. It looked like to me chat now you can see. You can. You saw it for yourself that he was getting ready to put the ball in his right hand and raise it when the guy chopped him and the ball went out of his hand and goes out of the back of the end zone. Yeah, we can say that's a silly rule. How does somebody. How do you get. That's an ultimate punish because it's not like you recovered the ball. But that's the rule and until they change it, there's nothing we can do about it. Lamar got pressure to give the give him an easy field goal even though the defense bowled their backs and kept them out of the end zone and they got three points out of that Z flowers, bro. You got to hold on to the ball. I know you're frustrated, you're trying to make plays, but you got to hold on to the football. Lamar wasn't sharp tonight, Chad. I'm not breaking news to any y' all and we're not trying to beat up on Lamar Jackson. But you saw it and it's okay to say, you know what? Lamar didn't play. Our best player did not play well tonight and we didn't give a. Give ourselves the best chance of winning. Now, yeah, we got to give some credit to Cincinnati, but because that is the best defense that we've seen them play all year. But Lamar didn't play well. Chat Baltimore Ravens fans, Lamar Jackson fans, it is okay to admit Lamar Jackson did not play well tonight. And we're not talking about him. He. He's a two time league mvp. No matter how bad he plays tonight or in the future, you can't undo that. All those Pro Bowls and all those perfect ratings that he's had, you can't undo that. But talking about what we saw tonight is not good enough in order for the Ravens to go very far or even make the playoffs. If Lamar plays like this. And I said before we talked about this the other night, I said, ocho, they're winning games. But Lamar has been.
E
He's.
D
He's not been accurate. He's missing some throws, and he missed some throws tonight. But I don't. I think it had more to do with Cincinnati and the way the Bengals did play, as opposed to Ravens or the whole offensively and defensively. But Lamar did not help their cause. You good to go? Ocho?
E
What's up, boy? You there?
D
Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. I've been waiting on y' all night.
E
What's up, baby? Huh? Wait, what they do?
D
How you.
E
How you feeling?
D
Talk to me.
E
Are you sure? Hey, hey, hey. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. Go ahead and get that. Go ahead and get that Raven stuff. Go ahead and get that Raven stuff for me, okay?
D
We here. We ain't going nowhere.
E
I just want to make sure you ain't going nowhere.
D
Yeah, Raven still flocked. We still flock.
E
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Y' all flocking. Y' all flocked out. That's what happened.
D
Y' all flocked.
E
That's you. You said it just right. Flocked. Listen, I told you. There's one thing I told you, right? There's a difference. There's a difference. When one of the better quarterbacks in the league come back, he comes back to a team that has the best receiver in the league as well. So the supporting cast played really well tonight, and I want to give some players some credit tonight. Joseph aside, hell of a job. DJ Turner, Hell of a job tonight. The offensive line in its entirety. Hell of a job tonight. Hell of a job. Offensive line, the goddamn defense, being able to create the turnover. I think the Ravens tonight had the most turnovers than they've had all goddamn season long. In one goddamn game. In one goddamn game. So obviously, for one turnover, you pay double for that. For. For 2, 3, 4, and 5. It ain't no way. You can't win games that way. No, you can't win games that way. I don't really want to talk about the Ravens, offensively or defensively. I'm not going to talk about Lamar. That's your job to do. I'm here to boast and brag about my goddamn thing. I told you what was going to happen.
C
You did.
D
You did.
E
Hey, listen to you. I told you. And Butter. Butter, your ass better be in the goddamn chat, too, Butter. Cause you were talking all that trash about, about, we got to play the Chiefs, we got to play the Bills, and we just happen to be on the schedule, so you just circle that as a win. Not what you got to say now, huh? Listen, listen, Let me say one thing, too. One thing. This is my first time at MNT Bank Stadium in a very long time. Now, I know I come on here, I play a lot. I talk a lot of trash, but I've always been respectful. And them people. Them people, them Ravens fans in that stadium, huh? Man? Pure class. You hear me? Pure class. Pure. I mean, pure class. I mean, the welcoming being. And obviously, I'm not a Raven at all, but the welcoming and the graciousness that they showed a young bull like myself because of the love I've always showed throughout the years. I just want to. I just want to say that, man, to the Ravens fans that I saw tonight, those that have met tonight, you know, as. As I. As I went throughout the stadium, you know, field side, man, I salute y' all and good luck the rest of the season, but y' all showed major love tonight. Now back to my shit talking. Now, we put built ass. Now we put built ass. And I told you, I don't want to hear you say foot or ball. The rest. You know what the neighbor. You know what they knocking on the hotel room, talking about? I'm talking too loud. I don't care. They have to send the police at night, because I'm feeling good. I'm not even tripping. Oh, my goodness. I feel good. Did you see Joe Burrow?
D
I saw Joe. Joe look good.
E
Hey, he.
D
He was off a little bit. Oo. Because I think the first half was the first time, I think, in his career that he was under 50% because he was 12 or 26. But he got. He got going in the second half. He was just off just. Just a tad. But look, that defense, that was how you guys won the game, because you took a turn. You took a touchdown off the board from likely by scripping him. Now, it looked like, to me, Ocho, I don't know, maybe the chat saw something different, but it looked like he was about to go into. He wanted to raise the ball up as he was going into the end zone, and they chopped his arm, and he fumbled it.
E
I think he was losing control of it. And if you. If he was gonna raise his arm, I think he might have been trying to raise it to get. Get it away from the person that was on his inside that he could actually see.
D
He didn't see that person. Yeah, so he just saw. He knows somebody. He saw that person coming from this side. So he was getting ready to switch. Switch Hands coming from inside out. That chopped it. And the ball goes down. Lamar fumble. Yeah, I think that's how you pronounce his name.
E
Yeah. Joseph aside.
D
Yeah, he did a great job of causing the pressure. Got a sack and the guy catches it right out the air. That Baltimore defense bowed their back. They didn't let them in the end zone for the longest time. The Baltimore Ravens defense held and held and held because I think the. I think since it was like over three in the red zone.
E
Yeah.
D
And they turned them over on downs, but the Ravens offense could not get on track. Mainly the offense goes as Lamar Jackson goes. Lamar didn't play well tonight. Ojo.
E
Right. He didn't play well tonight. But also, I want you to remember what you said about my defense. I want you to remember what you said about my. We couldn't stop none. We were last in the league. And all this and all these categories statistically and how bad we are and how bad we've been, you know, after the season. But all that matters. It's a nice game. And I told you, every game, every game is week to week is any given Sunday. You never know what's going to happen. Regardless of how bad a team may be statistically and whatever category they may be in. And in games like this tonight, why I was so confident. That's why I was so confident. And obviously, you know, I boast and I talk my trash, but it's one thing about the NFL that I understand. And playing a game for a very long time, even if you dominate in certain areas, there's always a game where for some reason, even a team that's bad, they play well. The matchups, the personnel, I mean, whatever it may be. And the turnovers obviously helped a little bit outside.
D
A little bit.
E
Yeah, a little bit. Because if it was no turnover, we still would have. We still would have beat y'.
D
All. No, you wouldn't.
E
Game would have been a lot closer.
D
Let me ask you a question. How many games y' all won this year where y' all didn't create turnovers?
E
Here you go. Here you go. You worried about. See, we don't, we, we don't want to talk about. We talk about tonight. We talk about tonight.
D
You got five turnovers. How many team we saw. Let me ask you a question. We saw Detroit with that high powered offense turn the ball over against the Commanders last year in the playoffs. And what happened, you know, you not winning no game, you turn the ball over five times.
E
Hey, let me tell you something. Let me. I hear, I Hear everything you talk about, right? I don't. We in 2025. I don't want to hear nothing about last year. I want about tonight's game. I want. I want to talk about tonight game with a Cincinnati Bengals with Put belt ass to your ball. Yes, we did.
D
What? Let's not. Look, you guys did what you needed to do to keep your slim playoff hopes alive. Slim created turnover.
E
Hold on, hold on. Oh, so you still talking spicy.
D
Hold on.
E
You do know we. Hold on. You do know we. We go to Buffalo next week, right?
D
Yes.
E
And after we play Buffalo, you know who got to come right back down the following week?
D
Baltimore.
E
Yes.
D
Yeah.
E
So if. Hey, mind your mouth and mind your tongue before you put them in the hole again and y' all lose again, and then we be at the. And we'd be at the top of the game.
D
Well, I ain't worried about that because I already know Buffalo gonna put belt, dad, so I. I ain't cool. I ain't even worried about that.
E
You said. You said the same thing about Baltimore.
D
I ain't worried about that.
E
You said the same thing about Baltimore.
D
Yeah, Baltimore. I didn't. I didn't expect you guys defensively to play this well, and I damn sure didn't expect Lamar to play this bad. So it was a combination of one playing good and the other playing bad. Your defense played exemplary.
E
Yeah. Can I tell you something?
D
Yes.
E
This is a good thing for us, you know, as a fan of not just the Bengals, but as a fan of the game of football in general. You know what carries over week to week when you play well. It's called momentum. It's called momentum and defense.
D
Y' all ain't got it.
E
See, that momentum and that confidence is going to carry us right on over to Buffalo. It's going to carry us right on over to Buffalo. And then, hold on, we get T. Higgins back next week. Mitchell Tinsley played well. Yoshi played well tonight. You know. Goddamn. Goddamn. Tanner caught him a touch. That little one hand touch.
D
Hey, you can't play it any better than what Hamilton had him played. He gave. Made a great catch.
E
Hey, that was beautiful defense. That was beautiful. But one thing about beautiful defense, the only thing that can spoil that is a perfect throw. A perfect throw. And then. Hey, that's what that was. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Who else? Yoshi played well. Uno, Jamar. Chase came back. He came back. I'm not sure how many catches he had, but he had over 100.
D
He had seven 14 targets. Seven for a buck. 10. Oh yeah.
E
Come on now. What are we talking about? We know what, one game suspension and then they got to deal with that boy down in Buffalo and T. Higgins come back and the defense playing with that kind of, that kind of momentum going into next week, man, we don't see Josh Allen. We don't see that. And no disrespect to them, boy. Trudevius Ward. And I mean not your Davis Devil my dog last name man.

Trudevius White.
E
Davius White. Hey, that. That's my boy. That's my. He was playing some good ball since he came off that Achilles tail. I'm excited. I'm excited for him. I'm excited for that matchup. So I. I can't wait to See that I understand. We understand the greatness of Josh Allen and his supporting cast, you know, Shakira and them boys, man. But hey, man, we don't. Man, we don't even see it. We don't even see it. You know, I know they just signed Brandon Cooks, too. We don't even see you, either. We cooking. We don't even see nothing. Nick Daniel.
A
And I told.
E
I told Eric Ball. You know Eric Ball, right? Yeah, I told Eric Ball. I say, listen, Eric, y' all give me a sideline pass to Buffalo, please. I don't care how cold it is. I don't care. You see, I was a good luck charm for the night. I was a good luck charm for tonight because I've been talking trash about us all weekend, about what we was going to do to the Baltimore Ravens, and in a respectful way. Now, in a respectful way, as you can see, I've been showing grace and respect while I've been talking trash. No, no. Cursing out. No, no, no, no, no, no. Being.
D
Nah. You've been saying. How many times. You don't say, but. Ass. How many times. You don't said. I told you what we was gonna do.
E
Okay, but I'm doing.
A
That's.
E
That's in a respectful manner as opposed to the way other people.
D
No, you were cursing early on.
E
I know. I'm cursing to add emphasis. The emphasis. Like when you cook Thanksgiving dinner, you add season to your food. That's what cursing does for me. It's. I call it a sentence enhancer. That's all. I mean, no. No disrespect. You know, I do this. This is with all love and respect to all my Ravens fans. Let me boast. Let. Let me feel good about myself. And Butter. Don't you try to hide on Twitter, either.
D
Butter, huh?
E
Hey, Buddy.
D
Hey, you.
E
You met Buddy. And you met Buddy at.
D
Huh?
E
Oh, yeah, you gotta. You gotta. You gotta see his Twitter, man. It's lovely. I'm talking about all things Ravens. Of course. He does other content related to football and basketball and stuff. He made really good dude. Really good dude. So he been talking trash, too, so that's why I keep calling his name. But I'm gonna see you in a minute. I hope you're in the goddamn chat. Anyone else? That's a Raven fans, I say this with all due respect and love. We won the game tonight, and I'm gonna see y' all in two weeks. We won the game tonight. I'm gonna see y' all in two weeks.
D
I'm also confused by The Ravens game plan.
E
You ain't like it.
D
Derrick Henry. No, Derrick Henry breaks off the long run for the touchdown. And I don't really see him until late third, the beginning of the third quarter, and. Cause I see Mitchell and I see everybody else running the football except Derek Henry. Maybe, maybe I missed it.
E
I mean, we were. We were good. We were doing a good job of containing Derek Henry most of night outside. Excuse me. Outside of that long run though.
D
I mean. But he had 10 carries for 60 yards. He's averaging six yards of carry.
E
Yeah.
D
So even if you take. Even if you take. So he had 32 yards on nine carries, I think. Yeah. But you know how he is. He's a guy that the more touches you give him, the harder. The harder he runs. I'm also confused. They. They. The Bengals come with a zero blitz.
E
Yes.
D
And you call, you got an end breaking right call, you take the top off it. You had to know it's gonna be zero blitz because you max protected it. Why else would you check to a max protection if you're not thinking of zero a bomb blitz and then everyone zay flowers on a dagger route. Why would you run them on a dagger route? And there's nobody in the middle of the field?
E
You know what's funny too, unc? That that's universal for every team. Because when there was a zero blitz for us safety, that safety in that bag was coming. Yeah, I had a slant. Now it's up to the quarterback to say, listen, I'm gonna hold the goddamn ball one more tick, I'm gonna get my ass killed. But change the right up and just go, yes.
D
I got the whole field to work with.
E
Oh, oh, absolutely. Because there's nothing back there, right? I mean, the goddamn. The goddamn DB's in no Man's land. But that, that. That's something that officer coordinator has agree with because that can. You hold that ball too long, you get Lamar killed.
D
But here's the thing though, Ocho, you already in gun. You can retreat. It's not like it used to be back in the day when you on the center and you check it and you had the back, you already away from the center, so you already got distance between you and the nearest rusher, right? Now when you retreat, you can just keep retreating and put it up. Cause you're not worried about the safety or anybody from backside coming into play. You can run him on a go, you can run him on a post, cross his face, whatever. Anytime. We saw zero blitz and they checked the coverage. Hey, several Would always say, take the top off, take the top off. Okay. And I, and I'm like, and I'm looking like, bro, what are y' all doing? Why would you run a dagger out? Why would you run around against zero coverage for a 15, 20 yard completion when you can have a 40 yard touchdown? It just made no sense to me.
E
Yeah, you were right.
D
But the whole game plan tonight, and maybe they had more to do with Cincinnati and how they got after Lamar and how they did a. After that long run. You're right, Ocho, they didn't. Mitchell had an 18 yard run. Lamar had a 11 yard scramble. But it was just the turnover. You, you're not overcoming that. Because we already know the Ravens defense is not fortified like it used to be. And they did a great job for the most part, Ocho, because they kept them out of the end zone. But you can only do that for so long.
E
Yeah.
D
Before you know what the Levy burst and now here comes back.
E
It was a rap. And the funny thing too, you got to remember, and those that are in the chat that are listening, you have to remember when it comes to these division games, you know, you know each other very well, you understand the tendencies and what you like to do on. Based on down and distance and, you know, formation recognition. Even though you try to, you try to change things up to make it look different. But the bulk of what your offense is, is what your offense is. Regardless of what you line up in. Your chances of doing the same thing over and over repeatedly, based on what you know and what you like to do, it always stayed the same. The only thing that changes is the formations and where the ball is, whether it's in the, in, in the middle, in the middle of the field, on the left half, to the right hash. But what you'd like to do will always be your offense, which is why I think, hypothetically speaking, if there weren't five turnovers, this game would have been extremely close. It would have come down to the team of the quarterback that makes the fewest mistakes.
D
That's, that's normally how it comes down when you got evenly matched teams. Because it's not like the Ravens defense are world beaters this year. Oo like they have in years past. Last year they were okay, but they weren't great. This year they've really fallen off. I'm looking at, I'm looking at Marlon Humphrey and their coverage of their times. He's getting beat by tight end. He's getting beat by Gicki. Yeah, he's not even Close. They're running, they're running like, they're running like five. And he's underneath and he's not even close to Chase. Yeah. And he got help over the top. I mean, guys are like, I'm like, what is.
E
I think I know you talk about when they were doubling, they were running 50.
D
Yes, yes.
E
Try to inside.
D
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
E
They try to inside it.
D
They're not even the underneath guys. Not even close.
E
Yeah, that's what a weak spot is. The weak spot is exactly the, the, I call it hard 7.
D
Yes.
E
Because the goddamn safety has to stay over top and the corner has underneath. So what you do, you split, you, you split the gap and run, run the deep out.
D
But that, but hold on, Ocho, where you going? You ain't worried about him beating you deep. So all I gotta do, I'm playing up underneath. I'm in your hip pocket. You jump inside.
E
Yeah.
D
So now I'm just in a trail position. Whatever you do, I'm there. He wasn't even, they weren't even close.
E
Because he was getting, he was banking on him running that goddamn dig.
D
Maybe you're right. Maybe you're right. I'm just like, bro, they just like that defense, they need a lot to be, they left a lot to be desired tonight, even more so than normal. But when your offense, when your offense turns the ball over four times, five times, it makes the defense look even worse than what they played. Cause I don't think they played bad tonight given the, the position that the offense put him in. The offense put him in some terrible positions. Really, really bad positions. And they held him to field goal for the, what they have. They made him kick four field goals in the first half, Ojo.
E
Yeah, yeah.
D
And then they gave up 14 in the third quarter.
E
Yeah. And that, that had me nervous. That had me nervous. The fact that we were able to drive the ball. So I'm like, but God damn, Joe, Joe, Joe, you cooking. And I, I talk, I talked to Joe. I think it might have been early, early in the fourth quarter. You know, they had stayed switched sides. And I was right. Meet him. I say, joe, what? What? Do you realize what you're doing right now? You say, I feel like I'm cooking. He said, nah, nah, I'm not playing like I should. I was a God damn, Joe.
D
Were you off that long? I mean, you, I, I, I mean, he looked good on some throws, but you gotta realize he'd been off for 10 weeks, 11 weeks, and to come back, it'll take him some Time, probably by the third game.
E
Yeah, Yeah.
D
I mean, he'll get his time and his fighting senses will start tingling. He did a great job of, of moving by creating time and finding guys. I thought the guys, I thought the guy, offensively, they played really well. I think, you know, later in the ball game, oo, I thought they got really conservative. He's like, you know what? A field goal, a field goal, A field goal is good here. We don't need to take any unnecessary risk.
E
I understand that, but why does every team do that? Listen, let's, let's make a statement. Let's make a statement. You know, I mean, listen, I talked to Zach Taylor going into the tunnel after the game. I'm like, zach, great game. I love it. I'm gonna see you in Buffalo. But I'm thinking to myself on the sideline, it's five minutes to go. We, we, we have a chance to score. We inside the 20. We're in the red zone.
D
Let's get this. Run the ball. You run the ball. Yep, yep.
B
Hold on.
E
And then we run the ball purposely in the A, in the B gap, knowing you ain't gonna go nowhere, you know, you're not gonna go nowhere. What's the point?
D
You right, you're right. I saw that. And I, I, I think he's thinking, like, you know what? As long as long as we don't get a, give a turnover or get a scooping score, pick six. They can't move the golf against the way our defense is playing tonight. You know, he got pressure. They were, they were, they pressured the hell out of Lamar Jackson more than normally. He had on the interception that night. Got. He had Mark Andrews coming wide ass open, but likely caught the db. The, the D lineman, pushed him back, got his hand up and got tipped and, and you know, that end of the drive right there. But I think, but you know, Lamar didn't play well, we could attest, we can say that. But I think it might have had more to do with Cincy's defense than he eating too much or him not him still. Him still not recover from that hamstring.
E
And another thing, another thing. I know some, I know some of my homeboys down in Cincinnati watching. I know we have a lot of Cincinnati fans that are in the chat as well. I want, I want y' all to, to congratulate and be, and be boisterous the same way you guys want Zach Taylor fired and you complain about Al Golden. This is the game. I want you all to praise him just as loud as the disrespect was when things weren't going well. So I. I need to clap for. I need the claps for Zach Taylor, and I need a clap for Al golden and his defensive play calling tonight and what Zach was able to do with us offensively because we put B to A. Huh?
D
You did. Y' all did. I mean, you know, hey, there's nothing. You know, okay. I'm sure they're rejoicing in Cincinnati. They don't have to eat chili. They could eat turkey and dressing.
E
Hey, hey, can you. Can you do me a favor? Can you. Can you apologize for the disrespect?
D
Absolutely not. Y' all still 4 and 8, so.
E
So you're not gonna apologize?
D
No. What's the Broncos record?
E
Who. Oh, no, don't do that. Oh, hold on. Your team don't play till Sunday, okay?
D
We still 92.
E
So, hey, you need. You need to focus. You got the focus now.
D
And then what do we do to y'? All? Did we put belt? Did we put belt, y'? All?
E
Hold on, young fella. Hold on, young fella. Let's focus your team. And don't forget, we had. We had Jake Browning playing, right? If I'm not mistaken. We played y'. All. We had.
D
Y' all could have had Jake from State Farm. We still gonna put belt.
E
Dads, if we had. If Joe. If Joe Burrow was playing, you guys would have lost that game. Let's. Let's stop that. Let's.
D
But, you know, hey, that defense. Relentless. That's a defense. We know. We come get you.
E
I mean, you be. You being a defense. That's unrealistic. We still have a top three quarterback in the NFL. When you. When you're playing against us, that makes it even better.
D
When we put him on the ground, like, six or seven times.
E
He wasn't available. He wasn't available.
D
Good thing.
E
But, you know, don't worry about it. We'll see all in two weeks. And the fact that. The fact that you don't want to apologize, I'm gonna tell you something my grandma used to say in church all the time. Every tongue that rise and talk. You know what? I ain't gonna say the whole thing. I ain't gonna say. I ain't gonna say the whole thing. Hey, Chad, I'm glad y' all here. I appreciate y' all for showing up. I'm sure all y' all are probably rooting for the bangles right now, and I love y' all and thank you for the support.
D
I appreciate you on the third carry of the night, Derrick Henry passed NFL legend Jim Brown on the all time career rushing list. O Joe. So congratulations. I think he's number 11 right now. Right. He's almost in the top 10 all time. Yeah.
E
How, how many more years you think he can play?
D
Well, he ain't catching him, so he ain't gonna play that many more years.
E
I mean, they, they, they, they would have to, they would have to be a buddy, buddy system for anybody to catch Emma Smith or catch a Frank gore. Who's number two?
D
Frank Gore.
E
Wait, I thought, I thought Frank was three. Who's two?
D
Frank Gore. 16,000. Oh, yeah, Walter got 16,000. What? 800. Okay, yeah. Walter Payton, then Frank Gore. God damn.
E
WALTER Payne got 16,000.
D
Yeah.
E
Jesus Christ.
D
Frank Gore got 16,000 and then is Barry fourth or fifth? Who could. Somebody else. Did anybody pass? Yeah. So he got, he got an outside chance of catching Tony D. Because I think Tony Dorset got like 12,700. So he has an outside chance of catching him this year, Right? Yeah.
E
I don't think people understand to be able to get to 16,000 yards, how long you have to play and how much wear and tear that is. Oh, yeah, a running back's body.
D
And when you consider all the carries that he had in high school, all the cares that he had in college, and all the carries that he's had now.
E
Yeah.
D
In the NFL, that's a lot. Nobody, not even Emmett with all the yards he has, has had as many carries as Derrick Henry. So for Henry to be playing as well as he's playing with damn near 5, 000 carries in high school, another 2,500 in college, and now he probably got another 2,000 2500 in, in, in, in the NFL.
E
And you know what? For the most part of his career, too long, those many carries, he's been healthy.
D
Yeah, except for that one. That one year.
E
That one year. Yeah, that one time. Yeah, he's been healthy. Oh, that's dope, man.
D
Congratulations, Derrick Henry. The Bengals remaining schedule at Bills, Ravens at home, at Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns at home. So things are looking. But the game. The Bills is the game. Ocho. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think you guys can make it if you don't beat the Bills.
E
What you mean with it? If we win the division, the Bills ain't.
D
I don't think. But here's the thing. I don't know. Hold on. Who did Pittsburgh play tomorrow? Because I think tomorrow, what are you guys. You four and six.
E
Tomorrow's Friday.
D
I mean Sunday. Sunday.
E
Okay?
D
Steelers play the Bills. So you better, you better be rooting for the you better be rooting for the Bills.
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah, you better be rooting for the Bills.
E
You know what's funny? If I'm not mistaken, I think the Steelers have lost the last two. Right? The Steelers have lost their last two. You know what? They probably not gonna lose to the Bills. They probably, they probably not gonna lose to the Bills. I don't understand. I don't know what it is just about the football gods and the way football works. I don't know what it is. And I guarantee you Chat, listen to me. I guarantee you, I'm not saying that the Steelers are just that good, but just the way the game of football it just the way it goes. I don't know what it is. I guarantee you the Steelers beat the Bills. I, I, I, I can feel it.
D
I just don't see that happening. Where's that game in Pittsburgh or Buffalo?
E
Ooh, I can't. Boy, I can't. I can't wait till about these guys.
D
It's in Pittsburgh, O.J.
E
Huh?
D
It's in Pittsburgh.
E
Ooh, yeah. I mean, shoot. Hey, listen, Josh Allen could play home or away now, it don't matter. It don't matter where he at for sure. But I just think they have the home field advantage for some reason.

The Cowboys beat the Chiefs 31 28. The Cowboys have won three straight for the first time since 2023. Dak Prescott league leading fourth 300 game yard game puts the Cowboys above.500 for the first time since week five of last season. The Cowboys in back to back weeks just beat both teams that were in the super bowl in a span of four days. Dak Prescott 2739, three 22 touchdowns, one interception. CD Lamb on nine targets had seven catches, a buck 12 and a touchdown. George Pickens was his sensational self although he did not get the ball into the end zone. He had six catches for 88 yards. Jake Ferguson had five for 36. Pickens dead fumble. But Kavon Turpin jumped on it. I, I think look, we understand the, the potency of the Cowboys offense but today it was about the defense. Jadavian Clowney had two sacks. I thought they did a great job of, of of putting pressure on Mahomes. Mahomes had to make some hell of a throws. Some of those throws like they're not a whole, they're not more than five quarterbacks that could have made some of those throws that Mahomes was making under the duress that in which he was under. So I think the biggest thing getting over shown back have really really helped this defense because he can cover, he can come with pressure. He's a really good football player and coming off the injury that he came off of last year and to come back and to be as, as as disruptive as he is oo that, that, that that young man can play, he, he has a very very bright future. But Dak Prescott, there's only one quarterback that I can definitively say playing better Than Dak Prescott, and that's Matthew Stafford. Oh, yeah. That's the only quarterback that I'm willing to say right now is definitively playing better than one. Dakota Prescott is Matthew Stafford.
E
Yeah.
D
Dak has been sensational last three games. Yeah, he had a pick, got one pick, got some pressure in his face on his first drive. But other than that, he was sensational today. Making throws, giving guys opportunity to make plays. I thought he played unbelievable today.
E
Yeah. And, and when you think about it too, I think most of the people, obviously pundits and analysts, those that are supposed to be professionals and experts, all of them had the Chiefs to win. You know, mostly everybody had the Chiefs to win. But the funny thing about it is tonight's game with the Bengals and the Ravens, the one thing that stood out is what people, nobody would guess. It was our defense. It was our defense that won us the game. It has always been the Achilles heel and the wolves for the Dallas Cowboys, it's been their defense. What was able to do. The defense looked good. So those trades are starting to look good. You know, the Kenny Walker trade, the Quinn and Williams trade, getting Logan Wilson, and collectively, as a group, in its totality, are playing really good football. Especially against not a Super bowl winning team, a playoff team, a team that's always in contention every single year, despite them being 5 and 5 or 5 or 6 and 5, whatever the record 6 and 6. They're not the same team of old, obviously.
D
No, hey, it is mainly on the defensive side of football, Ocho. They can't pressure the quarterback like they once could. Chris Jones is still a good player, but he can't dominate the game like he once could. He take. And he tries. He, he, he makes to, he, he takes himself out of plays. He jumped around the block and now they hit a quick hitting play. The safety doesn't feel. And now the running back hits his head on the goal post. There are far too many of those plays. If they bring pressure now, you isolate your secondary one on one. There are a lot of penalties called today. I mean, I mean, it's like. Seemed like every time Dak went back to pass, they were calling penalties. McDuffie, McDuffie just seemed tentative today to me. I don't know if there's something wrong. Maybe it was just those guys put the fear of God into a lot of people. Tentatively. He's normally a willing, a willing tackler. Tackler. I, I just didn't see it today. Ten penalties for a buck, 19 for the. The Chiefs. The Cowboys had seven for 50. There's only one turnover in the game. The time of possession was very close. The total plays was close, obviously. Dallas had 457 yards, almost 100 more yards total drive. But the biggest difference. Ocho. Nah. The Chiefs couldn't get him off the field on third down. Cowboys was 9 or 16 on third down. They got him in third down a bunch. They just couldn't get him off the field.
E
Yeah, and you know, also a lot of people, acd, Lamb. I see you. I see you cooking. That's what you do. That's what you do. Shotty said, listen, I don't care about what happened last game. I know the drops happen. You know, it affected the game. We're going to do everything we can to make sure he gets his confidence back. And we gonna feed him. We gonna feed him again. He had 11 targets. He caught nine of the things. Rhythm.
D
11 caught seven.
E
Oh, my. Oh, it was seven. Okay, my bad, my bad, my bad. Hey, that goddamn George Pickens, man.
D
He's phenomenal. If he scored on that one, he heard of that guy Ocho. If he scored on that one, I.
E
Would have turned the TV off.
D
I was thinking the same thing. I would have to turn the TV off.
E
I don't. I don't need to see no more. I don't mean to show no more. He's a. He's a top. He's a top five talent, right?
D
Yes.
E
Top five talent.
D
Yes.
E
When he puts it all together, when he puts it all together and focuses on just the game itself, you can still have fun. You can still have that edge that makes you in NFL young boy. You can still have that edge, but just. Just know what line not to cross and just teeter it just a little bit. That's what you get. When he's been with the Cowboys so far, he's phenomenal.
D
I mean, Texas catches, he's tremendous. Run after the catch. A big body. He's physical. He's focused now.
E
You know, it's funny. You know what's funny? You've seen him in person yet?
D
No, man.
E
The man. Every bit of six fold.
D
Oh, yeah, he. He looked big on television. He looked. You know what I'm saying? Don't show. He don't look like. He don't look like. Like a Julio like. He. Like that size. But you can tell he's on the taller side.
E
He tall. He tall. He tall as hell. So I mean, just what he's able to do at his height, you know, as far. As far as his route running. But what he's able to do when he get the goddamn ball in his hands. He ran the slant route. And I ain't seen this in a long time. Most of the time you see it in college because, you know, everyone is. It doesn't react as fast. You catch a slant and you reverse.
D
Back out, pull out, peel out.
E
Yeah, peel back out. Man, that doesn't happen in the NFL because people close the gaps.
D
Them lineman normally hitting you in the back of your head.
E
Yeah, one or the other. I'm like, man, this man, this man. I hit cut. No food.
D
Oh. If you look at. Look at. Because I thought Kansas City offensively, I. I thought they. They played well. Rasheed Rice dropped a huge third down and gave him the ball back. They end up. Because, you know, they. Mahomes had started to get a rhythm and they'd making some plays. And I was like, ah, that third down. And we're talking about this same thing happening in Detroit with Jameson Williams. Yeah, that's a. It was a little tougher catch for Jameson. Cause with that kind of speed and they throw that ball on your back hip.
E
Yeah.
D
And you try to open. It's hard. It's hard. Excuse me, but I thought Rasheed Rice. That drop on third down was huge. They ended up having a punt, and it gave. It gave the Cowboys the ball back. And I think they end up getting a field goal out of. If I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't jot it down. But if you look at Kansas City defense chat, and I think y'. All. I think y' all agree this is not the same defense. Because Ocho, when they bring pressure, you sacrifice the back end. I mean, George Pickett ran the same route. Slant. This corner is playing slightly outside. Why are you going for a head fake outside when you already out there? Ocho, you already. Ocho, you already splitting the difference. You already there.
E
Yeah. And you know the most of the times when it comes to. Depending on who the receiver is, the corner ain't going for that. That the outside fake. But because it's Pickens and what he's put on film so far, you falling for the first move every time.
D
Cause you're not confident.
E
Bingo.
D
Watch. Watch Stingley. Watch. Sir Tan. Watch those. Hey, you do all that, the first thing they do. Ha.
E
Yeah. Yeah.
D
They stabbing one way or the other.
E
Yep. To keep the right.
D
All this right here don't mean nothing right there. You ain't moving.
E
Yeah.
D
You ain't moving.
E
Yeah.
D
You ain't gained no ground. Ocho.
E
Yeah.
D
I'm concerned once you start to gain ground, once you close the cushion. But if I'm here, let's just say I line up two yards off you. And Ojo, you doing all this, you hadn't gained any ground.
E
No.
D
You're running in place. You will be tired, but you ain't got no do. You ain't gonna. You ain't going nowhere.
E
Yeah.
D
So once you start to come up field and try to close that cushion, I'm going here. I'm going here.
E
Yeah. And the funny thing about it is, and most of the time, all of that, all that is, I call. I call it a feeler. I want to feel where you at and continue to keep that distance between us. So it keeps me in position to make a play no matter what. Because if you can't close my cushion and you have to make. You have to transition. I'm already in a position to make a play because I'm on the top side, right? If. If you in front of me or I'm. I'm trailing. Okay? Now, I'm. I'm in no man's land. Damn near. Because I'm at your mercy. I'm at your mercy. But as long as they got eyes on you and you in front of me and my shoulders aren't turned up, feeling I'm square. Oh, you dead in the water, Ocho.
D
If I'm a db, you the wide receiver. I do this, and I can't touch you. That means you haven't moved. So guess what? You haven't moved. You're not running nothing deep, right? Because the thing is, in order for it to time up, you got to go in a hurry. You've got to be 42 and 4, and you not moving, that's gonna throw the timing off.
E
Yes, sir.
D
So once I do this, I don't touch it. I do this, I don't touch it. Well, you ain't closed the cushion, so you're not going nowhere. So you running something quick underneath.
E
Got to be.
D
That's how. That's how I'm looking at it. I'm looking at your. If I'm. I'm looking at your stance, I'm looking at. And I saw. Who's that today? I saw somebody. I forget who. It was Ocho. He crashed down, guys. If the guy crashed down, what you think the other guy gonna do? He gonna loop around?
E
Yeah. Every time he.
D
You got to replace what disappeared. I'm like, guys, are you serious? You mean to tell me you let that guy cross Cross your face, pass that off and be ready for the looper. The linebacker's gonna loop over the top. He ain't trying to put two guys in this in the A gap, two guys in the B gap. Somebody gotta hit A, somebody gotta hit B, and somebody gotta be in the C. Yeah, but I think. I think the thing is, Ocho, and a lot of times guys panic. You do panic, and they don't trust their coaching. They don't trust the technique, and they panic. And the next thing you know, the play gets blown up. When all you had to do was to trust your technique, you know, that guy disappeared. Somebody's got to appear.
E
And you know, you got. You got. You got to think fast, too, huh? You gotta.
D
You gotta. Oh, you do. Yes.
E
You gotta think fast. You gotta recognize what you see in front of you. Use your eyes. Again, your technique, for one. But you got to be able to communicate. Yes, got to be able to communicate. Some of the things that you see on film, you know, throughout the week. You're gonna see him in the game. Yes, you're gonna see him in the game. Most of the time it catches you off guard because sometimes you study stuff and you see a formation and okay, okay, this is it. I'm ready. I'm waiting on it. And then it's something completely different. Then they come back and hit you with the same exact thing that you saw on film, but you're not ready for it because then they don't load you to sleep with other shit. They didn't load you to sleep.
D
But we, the way they study tape. The way we study tape, Ocho, we look at everything, okay, Obviously looking at coverage. And then we look at D lineman, because back then when I was in the league, they used to play a lot of 25 front. The SAM Backer was on the ball. Now all they play are over fronts. Yeah, four down linemen, they don't. They rarely put the Sam Backer on the ball. Now the Steelers play a 3, 4 defense where they play Sam, will, Mike plug. And they got three down linemen, and they got both linebackers on the ball. Ball. In Norway, one one always coming. Because you want four man pressure, right? With that being said, we would get cut up. And we look. Just look at lineman and linebacker's feet. And that would tell us, okay, you see his stance, look at his stance. Look what he's going to do. Look how square he is. He ain't coming. Look at his cop. Look at his cop. He gonna put the foot back or he gonna give You a cook. And I'm like, okay, here he come.
E
Hey, staggered. If it staggered, he coming staggered.
D
I already know he gonna try to cross my face. All I'mma do is shove him onto the tackle Mike Backer and I'm gonna catch him and that. And there's porters of TD right off my hip. But you just got. I look, I trust my film study. And if they do something that we didn't see on film. Hey, coach, this is what we thought. This what we thought we gonna get. We didn't get it. I'm gonna have to react. But you're not going to beat me. You're not going to beat me, Ocho, with what I saw on tape. Now if you beat me with something else, I give you credit. They get to practice too. They get to practice too. It's not like we're the only one practicing. They going to show up unprepared. But you're not going to beat me with what I saw you do in this down and distance in this area of the field against this formation. You might beat me doing something else, but I won't let you beat me with that. And I just think the guys but give the Cowboys credit that Dak always could spin the ball. The problem that got that, that he would turn the ball over, he would put the ball in Harm's way. Better job of protecting the football. And he has two playmakers. He's never had this many playmakers at once.
E
Oh, not like this.
D
Even when he had dance and Gallup. They're not CD and pick. No, this is a whole. This is a whole. This is a whole different. A whole different animal that we're dealing with that he has. And that offensive line is getting better and. And better and better.
E
And the funny thing about it is they, they. They. The offense is well balanced. Is well balanced. Not can they. Not only can they throw the ball, but they can also run the ball. And they don't go away from the run because the run most of the time is opening up the pass for the goddamn Cowboys. Which is why it's what. Which is why it's having so much success. We understand how good picking the CD Lamb are, but hell, you can run the ball like Williams is doing. Was. Was it meant when it's time to play action, man, everything gonna be wide ass open.
D
Yeah, you gotta. But you gotta stay balanced though jokes. Because it's easy to fall in love when you got pick and you got a CD and you got guys that can go make plays. It's Easy to get away because the way Dak is spinning the ball right now, it's easy to get away from the run game. But when you got Williams and you got Davis that could, you know, and the blink that can. Davis is not only is Williams can get you the tough yards, but he got, he got speed to be able to get outside and get a. And get a 20, 30 yard game. Obviously we saw Davis hit his head on the goal post and then they all of a sudden they'll catch it napping and they'll get to do a quick jet handoff to Turpin coming around and we know he got crazy speed. So yes, they can run the ball. They're really balanced. But over the last three weeks I've seen this offensive line getting start to jail. You look at Booker, you look at Smith today, Steele was in at right tackle.
E
Yeah.
D
And I thought they played. I thought they played really, really well today. They did. And like I said, the Chiefs now that model is not going to work anymore. You got to go to hell rage. You got to go get a defensive lineman Ocho that you don't have to. And you know Spags want to bring pressure when he feel, when he feels threatened. He always going to bring that pressure Ocho. But now you don't really have that back end that can hold up.
E
Well, you gotta understand. Hey, look at the back end they had. Let me tell you, when it was at their best. Right. When it was at their best is we could bring pressure because we know we got Trent McDuffie and Ladarius Sneed out there.
D
Yep.
E
And we gonna be gonna play a shell. On top of that you had Reed.
D
You had Reed at safety.
E
Big man. Listen, they. And wasn't nothing and it wasn't nothing going on because I feel I can bring pressure because I know I don't have to worry about my goddamn back end. Now. It's not that same once you. Once you shuffle those players. You don't have players of the same caliber or with the same skill set that can allow you to do some of the things you want to do defensively.
D
Yep.
E
Not. This is what you get.
D
You're. You're absolutely right. But that defensive line is not the same. Like I said, C.J. is a good player. But the. That 15, that 1215 sack guy, he's not that anymore. Right? Coloftus? I don't even think Coloftus registered a tackle today. Did he make a tackle today? No, no, no. Stats for Kaloftas yo get one one total. One Tackle. They had two. What? Two tackle for losses And. And no sacks. Eat that. You can't. You. It's. It's hard. It's hard. And I thought Patrick Mahomes is playing unbelievable football. Ocho, very good football. I mean, he had four touchdowns. Four touchdowns. 23 of 34, 261, four touchdowns. Got out of harm's way, scrambled the ball. You know, he still got those legs when needed the play that. He got pressure. The guy was about to. He jumped before he. Cause he knew the guy was going to try to sweep his legs and he's off balance and he throws the ball. I think he hit Rice. No, he hit Worthy.
E
Worthy.
D
They're not a. They're not. But a handful of quarterbacks that make a player like that. I'm looking at a guy like a Josh Allen or Lamar, my homeboy, somebody like that.
E
It's only. It's only a few now there only.
D
A few that could do that. But the Cowboys. The Cowboy. What Let you got the Cowboy schedule up here. Cowboys at Lions at Lions.
E
Oh, Cowboys. Okay.
D
Vikings at home, Charges at home. Commanders on the road, Giants on the road. And what we saw from the Lions. Hey, I don't know. Campbell might want to turn that play calling back over to John Morton. Just saying offensive line. Their offensive line, but we're talking about them. The Cowboys at Lions next week. Vikings at home. Oh, they play next Thursday. That's next Thursday night.
E
Who they play. Who they play next.
A
Right.
D
Is that a prime game? Yeah, that's next Friday. Next. Next Thursday. Excuse me. Next Thursday. Because that's normally what they do. They play Thursday, Thursday, and then they get 10 days off and play the following Sunday, which would be a Sunday night. Yeah, they play. No, they play Thursday, Thursday, then the following Sunday. So they play Thanksgiving. They'll play next Thursday, and then they'll play. Yeah, because that's what. That's normally how dollar schedule shapes up, Ocho. They normally play Thanksgiving, then they'll play the following Thursday, and then they'll play the following Sunday. Right.
E
So give them enough time in between the rest.
D
Yep, yep.
E
Wait, hold on. Wait, hold on.
D
Who.
E
Oh, no, we were talking about the Lions. Okay, we didn't get today. Yeah, let me see if, like, let me see if they got water in here.
D
They could. They. They. Hey, look. They could. The Eagles could have dealt them a death blow. The Chiefs could have dealt them a death blow. But give the Cowboy credit. The Cowboys, like, nah, we still believe. We still got faith. Six level. So they got five games to Play. Can they win out? Absolutely. The games only get more important as they go along further and further. What they did against the Eagles, what they've done against the Chiefs today, all that's behind them now we got to set up, put our focus on the Lions and all of a sudden the Lions. Amen. Ross St. Brown went out. Now he has 10 days to cover. We don't know the severity of it all. They say there was an ankle injury and he was out, did not play.
E
Yeah, he got, he got rolled. He got rolled.
D
But in his absence, Jameson Williams stepped up and played huge. Jameson Williams was, was unbelievable today. But the Cowboys have a very, oh, they got a very, very favorable schedule. You look at the Lions, they're getting behind the Lions. So they beat the Lions. Now they flip positions. They still, they will still be in the, they will be, they'll be in the eighth spot instead of the ninth spot, if I'm not mistaken. Right. And then Vikings, Chargers, Commanders and Giants e close. Oh, okay. You think they can, you think they can run the table?
E
Ocho the cow? Yeah, well, absolutely. Absolutely. God damn. Lutely. As long as they continue to do what they do defensively and play like that, play solid defense. You don't got to be, you don't have to be all world. Just meet us halfway. Just meet us halfway and let the offense take care of what they doing offensively. Dak, you can't turn the ball over. Protect the ball. That's it. And make sure whoever calling the plays. I'm not sure if shot is calling the plays, but keep that balance. Keep that balance with Williams running the ball. We know zone reads off, off tackle, some of those sweeps, some of those pitches you like to do, those tosses and then play action going to kill him every time. What pick is able pick is able to do? Obviously pick playing mostly on the outside and CD Lamb is killing everything intermediate, short and intermediate. I mean you'll be fine. And obviously Jake Ferguson, when they want to use him and get him the ball, they have the weapons to do it all it comes down to you have to play solid complimentary defense and they'll be fine. It's easy. It's easy for me to sit here and say it, but actually going out there and do it, doing it play by play, drive by drive. That's the hard part.
D
It is. And when you look at it, Ocho, you look at the Commanders might be without Jayden Daniels like he practiced, but he's probably. I think they the Commanders play the Broncos this week. Ocho so there was a part that he was practicing, but they said it was iffy that he play Sunday. We'll see if he's fully recovered and he's able to go against the Cowboys, the Chargers. We don't know what charges we gonna get. We know offensively they can be good. We know they can put pressure on your defensively, but we never know which Charger team is gonna show up. The Vikings. J.J. mcCarthy, boy.
E
Hey, what's.
D
What's wrong?
E
What's wrong with JJ?
D
Oh, we got a very special guest joining us coming fresh from the Thanksgiving Day game in which the defensive line did a great job of getting after Patrick Mahome Harry of O.C. odigo, Zua. Ziggy. How you doing, bro? What's good, man? How y' all doing? I'm doing great. Yeah, you're doing great at what? What you say?
E
Where you at?
D
I'm at home, bro. We just got done eating Thanksgiving dinner.

D
Oh, wow. Hey, no, I'm spoiled, bro. I don't know how long I've been saying it. Probably last two years since my mom moved in with me, and she been on the ones and twos in the.
E
Kitchen, and I'm not going to stop saying it.
D
So. So what. What was. What was what? We have typical Thanksgiving? It was straight Nigerian food, bro. So fufu. A goosey jollof. Rice. Rice and stew. Okay. Suya. The whole nine. So. So that's. That's a. That is a typical Nigerian. Yeah. Thanksgiving.
E
