Hey, it was a snow globe after all. Buffalo and San Francisco played in classic Western New York conditions Sunday night.

Kyle Shanahan’s team continued to show zero fight.

Buffalo rolled right along.

At halftime, I recorded another Substack Live video with Jim Monos, the former Philadelphia Eagles scout, New Orleans Saints scout and director of personnel for the Buffalo Bills. Today, he’s the GM of the Memphis Showboats in the UFL. As always, he brings some original takes to the table. We get into several topics.

* Which team in the AFC is the biggest test to Buffalo and Kansas City?

* Is this truly a different Pittsburgh Steelers offense in 2024?

* Bryce Young was excellent in overtime defeat vs. Tampa Bay. Monos said last week he’s been outplaying C.J. Stroud. That was the case again. A good lesson when it comes to rookie quarterbacks.

* What now for Caleb Williams and the Bears?
