Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals (03:57)

• Brock Purdy’s Return: Sherman lauds the decision to start an apparently healthy Purdy, who throws for three touchdowns in a smooth, commanding outing.

• Special Teams: Sky Moore’s 98-yard kick return electrified the team and crowd. Sherman highlights the special teams as “greatly improved.”

4. Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants (28:04)

• Packers Grit: Jordan Love (13/24, 174yds, 2 TDs) shows flashes but Sherman is not fully convinced: “Can he execute down the stretch in critical games when the game is on the line? I have not seen it in the playoffs.” (Richard Sherman, 29:44)
• Scheming for Success: Love benefited from schemed open receivers.

• Chiefs in Crisis: Kansas City drops to 5-5 after a painful walk-off loss. Playoff hopes are in serious danger.
• Broncos Ascendance: “It looks like the Denver Broncos… are the class of the AFC West right now.” (Richard Sherman, 48:35)
• Mahomes Under Fire: Offensive line problems persist, with Denver sacking Mahomes three times.
• Defensive Decline: “Is this the Chiefs defense of old… that has been really, really effective and been championship caliber…? Unfortunately, it looks like there’s a changing of the guard.” (Richard Sherman, 48:14)

[Richard Sherman]

Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. What another week for the San Francisco 49ers. They get their star quarterback back, Brock Purdy. There were, there was conversations included on this podcast wondering what they would do and when they would bring him back. I thought maybe they would bring him wait another week and allow him to heal, especially with Mac Jones playing the way they did. But Kyle Shanahan made the decision against the struggling Arizona Cardinals team that he was going to make that call immediately and have Brock Pury Start vs. The Arizona Cardinals and it was a great decision. He had three touchdown passes in the game, looked very smooth from the opening kickoff until the end. He had, he threw it to everybody, threw a touchdown to cmc. He got George KD involved for two touchdowns. The defense played a solid game. They gave up 452 yards passing, a lot of it in garbage time. They were up majority of the game but Dor Lenor had an interception, Malik Mustafa had a had an interception and those are much needed, much needed for a defense that has not been able to get their hands on very many passes this season. I think that's only their second and third of the season if I'm not mistaken. Another feel good game for this. This team going into another a really, really, really winnable game against the Carolina Panthers. You got to be feeling really confident you were able to get your starting quarterback back and get him some reps, get his feet wet. You could, you could feel the energy in the, in the stadium. I mean, what do they call this? I mean, it's not Levi's south, but it's, it's, it's Levi's Southeast, I guess. But, but this is another, another great game by the, by the San Francisco 49ers. You feel good. They're, they're 7 and 4 now with another winnable game right in front of a. Against the, the, the Carolina Panthers. And then you got a tough game against the Browns. And I know you, you, you want to say that's a easily winnable game, but anytime you got Miles Garrett out there wrecking games like he has against every opponent that he's been. I think he had four or five sacks today. You got to be cautious of those games. But a huge performance by the special teams as well. You gotta, you gotta. I mean, after what's been going on in San Francisco the last few years with special teams, what Eddie Panero has been doing, and I know, I know Faithful, he missed a number of pats today and that's. I, you feel that's unacceptable. But it's, it's fine. It's fine. It didn't end up affecting anything. And he made the field goals that matter. He missed the long 62 yarder. Then there was a penalty that brought it back and he was able to. To make the next kick. It's great to see our special teams playing as well as they are. I think another, another aspect of it that's been really greatly improved is the kick return game. Sky Moore opens this game with a 98 yard kickoff return. Huge play to, to settle this team down, to have them confident. All Brock Purdy had to do was turn the ball, turn around and hand the ball off to Christian McCaffrey for the first touchdown of the game. Great. The concerning things about this game, no sacks for the defense the entire game. They. There was some pressure on, on Jacoby Brissette, but he was 47 or 57 for 452, two touchdowns and the two interceptions we talked about. They were able to force another fumble that was recovered by Keon White, but I just. They gotta find some pass rush. I mean, the trade deadline is passed, so you're not going to be able to look for any talent that way. They're gonna have to get healthier, obviously, but you gotta find some password somewhere. It's not sustainable to play like this. And you can see as Jacoby Brissette's numbers indicate, if you do not get pressure on the quarterback. They're going to be very effective. Even if it's a backup quarterback in the National Football League, that can be really effective. And Michael Wilson had the game of his life. 15 catches for 185 yards. Fantastic game for him. Trey McBride, 10 for 115. Those are the things that you. You worry about that, that you're are cautionary tales against this team. But, but there were a lot of positives for this Young San Francisco 49ers defense. Curtis Robinson, 12 total tackles in the game. D. Winters, 10 tackles in the game. Nick Martin, seven tackles in the game. And obviously D' Amador Lenore with the two interceptions. I thought it was a solid game for them and I look forward to seeing what they are after heading into the buy. You know, they have two more games before the buy. If they can find a way to get these two games, go on to the get by nine and four. I don't think Niners fans can be mad about that at all. I think they feel really, really good about that. I think they would. The team would feel confident. I think Kyle Shanahan, if it wasn't for. For Shane Steichen and, and Mike Vrabel and the seasons their two teams are having, unexpectedly, he'd be up for coach of the year. But they're definitely going to give it to those guys because they're playing fantastic. They're coaching their butts off, and their teams are doing incredibly well as well. Now for the Seattle Seahawks. Oh, the Seattle Seahawks. What a day. What a day. Everything that could go wrong offensively went wrong. Everything that could go wrong for Sam Darnold in this game went wrong. They playing against a division rival for the division lead. They play as bad as they can play offensively, and they lose by two points. I know you don't like to hear silver linings and all that, but.

[Odoo Sponsor]

I.

[Richard Sherman]

Know this defense and Mike McDonald, after they made their adjustments, they. They had some tough drives. I mean, they stopped him on the first drive of the game.

[Odoo Sponsor]

Fourth.

[Richard Sherman]

Fourth down, goal line stand. And then Sam Darnold turns the ball over. They get it back inside the five and they go score. I don't put that on defense. It's a tough game. It's. It's. What are you expecting to do? They just made a stop. And even then it took till 4th down again for the Rams to get in. That's not a way you're gonna live and die in this league. You're not gonna. You're not gonna have success trying to live that way continually. They had another good drive against the defense later in the game, but the four interceptions are what allowed the Rams to be in the position they were in for the most part in this game. I thought the defense played outstanding. Huge play by Kobe Bryant after a Sam Darnold interception that, that really was able to somewhat quell the momentum for this team, this Rams team. But I think this is still a confidence boost for the Seattle Seahawks. And kudos to the Rams. The Rams won this game. They did good enough offensively. They made the plays that were there. Puka Nakua played a fantastic game, had a lot of yak in this game. Sam Darnold still through for 279 and had a great drive when they needed it to to get the first one and only touchdown of the game and then tried to get them in position after a great punt by the Rams punter to to. To pin them inside the one yard line. It would have been a tall task for them to drive but they did their best. Kenneth Walker had a satellite game running the football. That the concerning part again, same as it was for The San Francisco 49ers is with this elite pass rush and defensive line of the Seattle Seahawks. They were unable to generate one sack in this game. They were able to generate a turnover and, and and honestly keep Matt Stafford in check most of the game. He was 1528 for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Kyron Williams was able to run the ball 12 carries for 91 yards in the touchdown. That was the issue throughout this game. Puka Nakua had a, had a couple in the rounds that, that he, he was able to get some yardage on. But I think for the most part they did a good job holding the receivers in check, making stops in the second half. They played a really great game. But those four interceptions are tough to overcome for anybody. Cameron Kitchens had two, Darius Williams had one, Kobe Durant had another and you just it. It's tough anytime you lose the turnover battle and that in that drastic of a way it's going to be tough to win that game and you don't get enough turnovers yourself. But all that being said, the Seattle defense showed that they're a championship caliber defense, that they can make stops, get stops on third down. You're not going to have a situation where everybody's going to be going for it on fourth down the way Sean McVey did today. And usually when they do the your offense is going to punish him. They weren't able to today, JSN with another 100 yard game to continue his streak of a fantastic play this season. It's fine. Stay calm, Seahawks fans. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. This team is still. I'm just as confident in this team as I was before this game started, and maybe even a little more so because I know they can overcome adversity. This is a, a road game against a really tough opponent and you turn the ball over four times. If you don't turn the ball over four times, I think the Seahawks easily win this game. But they did turn it over four times and it was forced turnovers. The Rams executed. The Seahawks offense did not. So give them credit. But the Seahawks still went and had a chance to win this game, albeit on a very long field goal. So take some solace in that, Seahawks fans. This team can compete with anybody, and I felt that way before the game. I still feel that way after the game. I'm sure there's some plays they want back. I'm sure there's some plays. Mike McDonald wants back that for this defense. But to hold Matthew Stafford, who came into the game as the leading candidate, embedding odds for MVP of the league, to hold him to 130 yards and two touchdowns is a great performance. And Sam Darnold isn't going to play that bad, I don't think ever again. I think he'll learn from these mistakes and I know Minnesota Vikings fans are like, oh man, this he, this is why we let him go. Please just shut up. Please, please just shut up. You guys have no room to talk, no room to speak. You're four and six with the Green Bay packers coming into town. You got to go play the Green Bay packers and you're likely going to be 4 and 7. So I hear all this about, oh man, he played such a great season for us last year, only to play terrible in the playoffs. You're saying that as though you have improved in some respect. Now you're in a position where you won't make the playoffs. So you, I guess you won't have to deal with the quarterback potentially not playing well in the playoffs because you won't be there. So is that a better solution, Minnesota Vikings fans? I highly doubt it. So please just stay out of it right now. Your team should have kept Sam Darnold in the story. It would have been better for both sides. Sam Darnold has continued to thrive, had a really rough outing, bad outing this week, and we'll be criticized as such I'm sure he'll take. He'll, he'll take his share to blame. He'll understand that. He'll stand up to the podium and take his responsibility for those interceptions because they were horrid interceptions. I mean, it wasn't tip balls or anything, just bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. And he had a all a bad, no good, very bad day that he wants back. And his team still lost by two. I think the Seattle Seahawks are still happy that they have Sam Darnold at quarterback. I think they feel really good about this team, as they should.

[Richard Sherman]

Next game we're going to talk about is the Buffalo Bills versus The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has been having a really good season as well. Struggled a little bit in this game. 16 to 28, 173. The touchdown and the one interception. They did run the ball pretty well in this game. Which, which, which it was a back and forth game this the score doesn't indicate how close it was early on but they, they were battling throughout this game and Sean Tucker had had a, had a nice nice game. 19 carries for 106 and the two touchdowns. Also had a receiving touchdown. Sterling shepherd had five four catch for 54 yards. But again this receiving core is banged up. The, the running backs are banged up. You're missing Bucky Irving and obviously Mike, Mike Evans is out for the season. Chris Godwin was out this game. So Emmanuel, I mean Ameka Buka was held to 5 for 40 yards. Again, still just a rookie receiver and having a fantastic season but he's gonna have games like this. It's the defense for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that's the biggest concern. Giving them 44 yards to the Buffalo Bills. Not that the Buffalo Bills aren't a good team, but we've seen them be held in check before. We saw them get held in check just last week against the Miami Dolphins. They were held to 13 points. So a team that got held to 13 points the week before against a Miami Dolphins defense that had been, that has been relatively benign to go to the Buffalo, I mean the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who who have been considered contenders for a lot of this season and for them to give up 40, 44 points, I'm sure Todd Bowles is incredibly concerned and frustrated with that game. Josh Allen had a, had an MVP type performance. 19 for 30 for 317, three touchdowns passing. He did throw two interceptions, but he also had three touchdowns on the game, which ended up being a big difference in this game. I think he's only the second quarterback to do it. Not, I forget who the other quarterback is to have three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. I want to say it was a Fitzmagic, but I don't want to give Fitzmagic that kind of credit. But I think it was Fitzmagic. We can't get Fitzmasters that kind of credit. But again, those are the things that you can't have if you're a Tampa Bay team that wants to compete for the super bowl this year. But again, they're banged up offensively, they're doing the best they can. They got to find a way defensively to, to, to get more pressure on Josh Allen to, to to keep points off the board more than anything. You can't give up 44 points and expect to be a contender in this league, I think, unfortunately. But the Buffalo Bills have a big rebound game and Josh Allen looked like an MVP in his game. Carried his team on his back. James Cook, 16 carries, 48 yards. Also receiving touchdown, 66 yards through the air. Shavers had four receptions for 90 yards. They were without Keon Coleman for I guess undisclosed reason. I mean there's speculation that he missed a meeting and, and that they set him for that. Those are team rules. You got to follow the rules. So we'll see how that, how that goes. They were able to win the game, so it's not as big of a story if they lose that game. It's much bigger a story. But the Bucks play the Rams next in another tough game for them. The Bills go to the Texans on Thursday Night Football will be there starting our show at 7pm Eastern. We will see you there. I can't wait to call it. I'm doing a feature on a few Texans players, so please check that out if y' all get a chance. But this, this Bills team, the thing I worry about most with this Bills team is you're getting in a lot of shootouts with, with great teams and how often are you going to win those shootouts? Can you keep winning shootout after shootout after shootout? And when you can't score on offense like when you, when, when they have an off day like they did against the Miami Dolphins, does that defense have enough to get the stops that they need to Win those games. That's the, that's going to be the question that's going to get answered. Not until the playoffs. I don't think it gets answered until we get in those critical situations where we're going to see. And another big game this week. The packers beat the Giants and what was a tougher game than I thought it would be for the Green Bay packers and how critical I've been of Jordan Love and you know, now people are like, oh, what you think of him against the Giants guys, I, I love the Giants as much as anybody and I was, I was happy to hear their story and, and, and see them continue to battle with, with, with Jackson Dart at quarterback, I expected a fun game from Jameis Winston and it was that, it was that he didn't throw for a touchdown, but they scored 20 points. 19 at 29, 201 yards and he threw an interception. Tyrone Tracy, 18 carries for 88 yards. They battled. They battled. But they're, they're a team that has not won a lot of games this season. They're, they're a two win team playing against the packers who most people, including myself believe are super bowl contenders. But the quarterback situation, and I know people are saying, oh man, did you see Jordan Love? He carried the team, I mean 13, 24, 174 and two touchdowns. And I watched the game. Number of drops from his receivers. Also a couple spectacular catches, especially the, the Christian Watson catch for his, I believe second touchdown was a fantastic catch over double coverage. You can't play it any better than that. You can't catch any better than that. And that's one you got to give to the receiver for making a play. And Jordan got to give Jordan Love credit for giving him a chance with that football. But again, it's gonna come down to this quarterback, regardless of how you guys feel about it, good, bad or indifferent, it's going to come down to that. Now the Matt LaFleur thing I don't like because a number of plays were, were schemed wide open in this game and they executed. Of those 13 completions, I'd say six or seven of them were schemed open. One of the touchdowns, the tight end was schemed wide open. Wide open, which is fine. It's not going to always be that way. You're not going to be playing these Giants in the playoffs. The teams you're going to play in the playoffs could be the Detroit Lions, it could be the Philadelphia Eagles. Again, it could. Who just held him to seven points. It could be the Seattle Seahawks, who I think would feel really good playing this Green Bay packers team. It could be the Rams, it could be the Rams defense. And are you confident that you could go into LA and beat the Rams? Are you confident you can go into Seattle and beat the Seahawks with Jordan Love at quarterback? And I don't need you to answer it for me on in the comments or anything like that. Answer it for yourself because that's all that matters. You can lie to me, but just don't lie to yourself because I don't see it yet. I don't see the confidence yet. I see the immense talent. That's not hard to see. Immense talent. Can put the ball anywhere on the field. Can, can. Can move around with the best of them. Really athletic, great arm. Can he execute down the stretch in critical games when the game is on the line? I have not seen it in the playoffs. I saw it in one playoff game. I think it was against Dallas and everybody knows Dallas's reputation in the playoffs, but I have yet to see it against anybody else. So until we can see that, the jury's out. I'm sorry. They gave him a lot of money and they have not seen it. And I hear everybody talking about Sam Darnold struggled in the playoffs. He did all that. I watched Jordan Love struggle in the playoffs last year when his team got there against the eventual super bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Three interceptions in that game, no touchdowns. He was an uber conservative in this last game against him. He didn't throw any interceptions, didn't throw any touchdowns. You're going to have to find a middle ground there. You're going to have to find a way to execute without turning the football over and score points. That's going to be the, the question that's going to be the thing for, for Laflor. This was a good game for the Packers. They played a Minnesota Vikings next game, a game against a, a defense that had been up and down this season. But Brian Flores is definitely going to bring pressure. A division game. It'll be back and forth. They got a young quarterback who, who's been hot and cold. He turned the ball over two times in this game against the Chicago Bears this week. Played well in the fourth, played well in the fourth quarter. Was able to, to, to help him come back in this game. But still 17 points. Not enough to beat the Chicago Bears. So I, I don't, I think they should feel good about the next couple games. I think they beat the, the Vikings in this game, but it's a division game and you know how those go. We, we've seen them countless times. We saw weird upsets in division games throughout this season, and I think that'll continue to be the case. But I still feel like the Green Bay packers will be able to win against the Minnesota Vikings when, when we get to see Jordan Love in the playoffs and if he executes well, he will get all the credit in the world. That's, that's what it'll be. I'm sorry, Green Bay fans. That's what it's going to be. That's what it's going to have to be. And until then, the jury will be out. The jury's not out for you guys because your your franchise paid him $55 million. You got to feel good about it. You don't have a choice. You're locked in for a while. I, on the other hand, have a choice. I'm going to get to watch and see. And everybody's wondering, why aren't you giving Sam Donald the same criticism? Because with great pay comes great criticism. Sam Darnold making, I think, $37 million. Playing at $37 million, he has 17 touchdown passes, 10 interceptions. His team is seven and three. I think they feel really good about what they got. If he was playing, if he was getting paid 55 million, which is in the top two of the National Football League, I would expect top two level play from Sam Darnold. That's just how it is in my book. Maybe my book's not perfect, but that's the way I feel about it.

[Richard Sherman]

The next game in the AFC north the Bears and the Vikings. The Bears have won seven of their last eight games. I'm sure Ben Johnson is feeling great. You could see Caleb Williams after the game did not feel good about his performance. No emotion after the game winning field goal. I don't think he felt like it should come down to that. But they're learning to win and they're building winning habits. DeAndre Swift had a had a good game, 21 carries for 90 yards. Cole commit five carries for 45, I mean five catches for 45 yards. And on the other side, J.J. mcCarthy, 16 for 32, 150, a touchdown and two interceptions. Aaron Jones, 16 carries for 70 yards. Did have a fumble in the game. But the story for the Minnesota Vikings this week is the quarterback and Justin Jefferson for the quarterback. I said it earlier in the show. I still feel like they should have kept Sam Darnold. I will say that until the cows come home. I people say they should have kept Daniel Jones as well. He took a little less money to go to the Indianapolis Colts for a chance to start because they he knew how they felt about J.J. mcCarthy. Were they right about J.J. mcCarthy? We'll never know. He's, he's still pretty much, I mean pretty much a rookie. I mean red shirt rookie hasn't played a lot of football. But again, when the expectations are so high because a team is ready made to win, a team that just had a 143 season, the expectations are higher. So the criticism is going to come with it. Now you give be patient with J.J. mcCarthy. But again, what did we see in college that made us think hey, this guy is going to be a a real perennial passer in the National Football League. Not a ton. There wasn't a lot at Michigan that gave you the impression that he was going to come up here and light up the National Football League. He's playing pretty much like he did in Michigan without a, a great run game, without you know what in a defense is trying to support him. But if they don't play well enough they're not winning. And So I think J.J. mcCarthy is going to have a hard time in this league because you're not going to find much better of a play caller than Kevin o'. Connell. You're not, no matter where you are and you're not going to find much better of a situation to walk into as a rookie that gets drafted in the first round than the Minnesota Vikings are. And they're not going to. You got one of the best receivers in the National Football League, a great tandem. You got weapons around you. I think you got a good back in the backfield. You might have considered two good backs in the backfield, but when you have drives in the second quarter with back to back interceptions, you make it hard to win these games. And I know he's young and we got to give him time to grow, but we don't have time in this league. Not 14 that made the decision to move on for a quarterback that took him to a 143 season. Again, that's the kind of decision that sets a franchise back. Because if he never develops into what Sam Darnold was then, then it's a waste. Then it's. Then you just wasted some of Justin Jefferson's prime. And I think that's what makes him frustrated because he cannot see the vision right now. He had a fantastic season last year with Sam Darnold. He could do nothing about the front office making a decision that they made. And I know people are like, well, Sam took a different offer for Seattle. You don't let Sam take that offer. You franchise him and then negotiate. He can't walk away. You franchise tag and he can't walk and you can negotiate, he'll likely sign a good deal and then you take the franchise tag off him. It's good to go. But when you play this game, when you play this game and you say, hey, we're going to let him walk, we're going to let Daniel Jones walk in the. The quarterback that you pick does not work out. It's hard to find answers like, because now what do you do this off season? Because I don't, I don't see the Minnesota Vikings recovering from this and going to the playoffs. I'm sorry. Unless the defense start playing at a really, really high tilt. I don't see them turning this around and getting to the playoffs because of how good that the NFC side has been. Got a lot of teams playing well. You got a lot of teams over.500 right now. So it would take, it would, it would be a herculean task for them to. To chase down the team and win. You got probably two teams in their own division going to the playoffs, and the packers and the Detroit Lions, the Bears. The Bears in their own division got. We just talked about them one seven of eight. They're seven and three. So they're at the top of the division right now. So you're at the bottom of a very difficult division, one of the best divisions in football. And you have uncertainty at quarterback. That's a bad place to be. And I know Vikings fans are like, oh, man, Sam Darle, he struggled today. He's still better than the quarterback you have. Oh, man, Sam Darnold had four intercepts. See why we got rid of him? No, I don't see it. I don't see why you got rid of him. Because you have no chance. You had 14. Three. And he struggled in a playoff game. Okay. I've watched quarterbacks struggle in playoff games. Jared Goff didn't play a great game. Not a lot of quarterbacks from the NFC north played well in the playoffs last year. Okay, does that mean get rid of them all, Let them all walk? No. You're trying to. You're trying to mask your pain, and I understand that. I've been there. I've been there before. You mask your pain a little bit. Say, oh, look, look, look, they're struggling. Look. That's why we got rid of them. Just to mask the tears that you. You, when you watch your team, that you have. I'm with you Minnesota Vikings fans. I think you got a really good team. I think the quarterback is going to be the issue, and you're going to have to make a decision for another quarterback next season. Is it going to be Mac Jones? And you're going to have to trade picks to get Mac Jones in that system because he's thrived in a system similar to what Kevin o' Connell wants to do for the Minnesota Vikings. Maybe there are a number of quarterbacks, but the fact that that's going to be a conversation is telling. You may have been the wrong decision to let Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones walk. That's all I'm saying. Good game by the. The Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams and. And just another good win. I. I can't keep saying good game because it's not always a great game, but they keep finding a way to win. And when you're winning in this league, that's all that matters. The Bears got a tough game against the Steelers next week. You never know what you're getting with the Steelers team honestly. You know, they've been playing really well defensively the last few weeks. They seems like they've figured it out. Tomlin has figured out what to do with these guys to get them motivated, to get them where they need to be. And I'm looking forward to the Bears against them because they've just found a way to do good enough to win these games. Whether it's a big time high high point shootout or a low scoring game where you win on a walk off field goal. They found a way. But the Vikings, Vikings got the Green Bay packers next week, another tough divisional game. What are they going to do to produce points against a defense that's going to bring a lot of pressure? Your offensive line isn't great and those guys are going to be hungry. Micah Parsons is going to be hungry. He needs his stats. And Rashan Gary is going to be hungry. We'll see how that game goes. I'm looking forward to it.

Another, another contending team coming into this season that is struggling and they are in trouble right now are the Kansas City Chiefs. The Denver Broncos found a way to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They won this game 21:19 walk off field goal and they are now 9:2. And the Chiefs 10 games into the season are 505 and 5 and play and have no control over their destiny or their ability to make the playoffs this year. They're going to need a lot of help from a lot of. There's a lot of different scenarios. If certain teams win, they're out. If they, they need a few losses here and there. Jacksonville maybe to lose a couple, the, the Chargers to keep losing. But it's no straight path to the playoffs for the Chiefs and you really start to get concerned when you look at the way they lost. You know Patrick Mahomes was under duress. A lot of this game just does not look comfortable defensively. We watched the Broncos and Bo Nick struggle royally against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football and today he throws for 295. He throws for 295 yards. And those are the things that you're, you're, you're like, okay, you know you, you, it can go in either way in a division. But you wonder is this the chief defense of old? Is this a spags defense that we've come to know that has been really, really effective and been championship caliber year after year, year, week after week. Is it that same defense? Are you getting that same championship effort from these guys? And unfortunately it looks like there's a changing of the guard in the AFC West. It looks like the Denver Broncos. I can't say it looks like they are the class of the AFC west right now. They're on top of the division and they're dominating. Give them a lot of credit. Their defense, the the Denver Broncos defense is legitimate. They sacked Patrick Mahone three times in this game, and then offensively, they were they were held in check. The run game was held in check, but Bo Nicks made enough plays to win this game.

What'S what what do the Kansas City Chiefs do from here? Again, you can't trade for anybody. People are starting to get cut. They're getting some reinforcements from the free agency market. Some of their old guys, they're old players, mostly D lineman are asking for releases and and getting them and they're picking them up. But the Chiefs got the Indianapolis Colts next week and the Indianapolis Colts have been one of the best teams in football. You're looking at a Chiefs team that is struggling back against the ropes, playing against a team that looks incredibly complete. They look like, I mean a team that could potentially be going to the super bowl this year if they, if they can continue it through the playoffs, which is a big if. What did the Kansas City, what does, what do the Kansas City Chiefs do in this situation? Because this is the fork of the road and I know we've talked about it before. Every season there's, there's some kind of lull in the season where you think the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled and they're, they're okay, they're this, they're that, but they're going to find a way at the end of the season to win. Hey, the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes throwing the most interceptions. He, but yada, yada, yada, they're going to find a way to win at the end of the season. You say, hey man, the offense doesn't look great but the defense is world class. They're going to find a way to win and yada, yada, yada yada. They're 500 right now and I do not see a path for them. I don't see a path. I don't see things improving in the way they're going to need to for the Kansas City Chiefs to, to, to be in the playoffs. I mean, forget super bowl. This may be the first year they missed the playoffs and that's not what I was expecting to say coming into this season. Obviously they got a tough game against the Indianapolis Colts next week. They got a winnable game against the Dallas Cowboys, but who knows how they're going to play in that game. I mean it's been Jekyll and Hyde a little bit, but there are winnable games throughout the rest of the season. They could, they could probably. Let's see. I think they lose to the Colts, that will make them 5 and 6. Then they can beat the Cowboys. Depends on how they play against the Texans. That can go either way. Is CJ Stroud back? Is there offense playing? Can the Kansas City Chiefs offensive lines hold up? I don't know. Let's. We'll call it a win. So that's two wins. That gets them to seven and six. Then they got the, the Chargers who are without their two world all world tackles. They can win that game 8 and 6. The Titans 9 and 6. I think they lose to the Broncos on Christmas. Then they can beat the, the, the raiders and be 10 and 7. Is that good enough to get them in the playoffs this year? I guess we'll see. It's going to be tight. It's not going to be like any other year. But again, if the Chiefs get in, they're a very dangerous team. They're a team that, that finds a way to win late in the season. They're a team that, that knows how to get to Super Bowls, knows how to prepare and knows how to execute down the stretch. But they definitely need the Chargers to lose, which they did today, and the Jags to start losing. I mean, you can't both lose because they played each other today. But they're going to need some help and I don't know, Chiefs fans, is this the year they miss it? We gonna see the Steelers finally look like the defensive team everybody thought they'd be coming into the season. They beat the Bengals 201234 to 12 to move to 6 and 4 on the season, are now leading the AFC north and feeling pretty good. Aaron Rogers didn't have his best game and got a little banged up in the game. Mason Rudolph had to come in. He went 12, 16 for 127 yards and a touchdown. But the story of this game is, did Jamar Chase spit on Jaylen Ramsey? I don't know. It kind of looked like it. And by Jalen Ramsey's reaction, it looked like something had to, had to happen. You know, he's a, he's a guy that plays with a lot of fire and a lot of, a lot of enthusiasm. But it definitely looked like Chase might have spit on him. But we don't know if he spit on him or not. But if he did, that's uncalled for in this game and you can't have it. But this Pittsburgh defense is playing at a high level and they have the last couple weeks. They get two touchdowns in this game. A 73 yard pick six by Kyle Duggar in a 40 or a 34 yard fumble return by James Pierre. Huge plays by this defense that really helped the struggling offense get its footing in a tough division game. Again, these division games are always going to be a grind. They're going to be back and forth, a brawl. But you got to win and the Pittsburgh Steelers had to have it. They have tough games coming up and that, that are all must wins with. With the Baltimore Ravens right on their heels. They got the Bears, who again we talked about it, won seven of the last eight and just finding ways to win. The Bills, who are playing some up and down football, but Played a really dominant game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that's been really good offensively this season. And then they got a, a, a dog fight of a game in the AFC North Division against the Baltimore Ravens. That's going to determine their season. That's going to determine a lot of things coming up, how this is seeded, who's going to win this division, etc. Etc. That's what I love. November December football. It always comes down to the wire. The Bengals next game. The Patriots who've won think eight straight now and look to be the class of the AFC right along with the, the, the Indianapolis Colts. So we'll see. We'll see Pittsburgh. We'll see if they can continue this. Their next three games will tell the tale. Is Aaron Rodgers going to be okay? We'll have all those answers for you by the middle of the week. The next game in the AFC north, the Ravens defeat the Browns. Lamar Jackson gets sacked five times. I think four of them was Miles were Miles Garrett. Derrick Henry 18 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown. The story of this game. Dylan Gabriel knocked out with a concussion. He was 7 to 10 for 1668 yards. Shador Sanders comes in and he struggles. It's tough to come into a game without taking starter reps throughout the season, but he was 4 of 16 for 47 yards in an intersection. That's a rough game. Based on how the, the concussion protocols and everything usually go, I would guess that, that Dylan Gabriel's probably out another game and Shador Sanders may get his first start of his career next week versus the Raiders. We'll see. I'm excited. Unfortunately. I hope Dylan Gabriel gets healthy. You never want to see injury or guy go in because of injury. But if he's out, Shador Sanders gets another opportunity, this time with a full week of starter reps and a game plan is tailored to his strengths and it's tailored to the way he plays football. And so we'll, we'll see. We'll see how that goes. He'll be playing for the against the Raiders and Pete Carroll, who may be looking to make a trade or gonna make a decision at quarterback for the this offseason. I think they're clearly going to draft one in the first round based on how Gino has been playing. If I'm not mistaken, they, I've seen they bench Gino right now for Kenny Pickett. I believe. So it'll be a winnable game for the Browns In a, in a. If you're going to ask for a team to start against. This is as good of a chance as anybody for Shador Sanders. They don't bring a ton of pressure. They don't do a ton of exotic things on defense. We'll see what he's able to do with it all. Odds and lines are brought to you by our partners at Hard Rock bet. We've got the Cowboys at the Raiders on Monday Night Football tomorrow. Hard Rock bet has the Cowboys as a 3.6 spread in this game. I think that's accurate. I mean, I would hope they would, would, would be able to to pull away by more the Raiders have struggled mightily this year. They're going with Kenny Picket, I believe, at quarterback. Who knows how that'll go. There's some unpredictability there, but you would think with the offensive weapons that the Dallas Cowboys have, they should be able to put up some points and really, really pull away from this Raiders team that struggled offensively and struggled to put points up this season. We'll see. We'll see. But that's what your boy thinks is going to happen. Am I right? Am I wrong? The stats will tell the story. I appreciate you guys joining me as always. You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me and I surely do appreciate it. We will see you next week. Hit that sub button if you knew. Foreign.
