Richard Sherman
Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast and what a win for the Seattle Seahawks. They just look dominant on both sides of the football and in special teams they got a turnover. But the story of this game Sam Darnold with it was 16:16 at the half. Four touchdowns just looked effective, efficient. I mean like a machine out there. And his connection with Jackson, Smith and Jigba continues to grow. They just look like they've played together for 10 years at this point, like their minds are on a string. Sam Darnold dropped some dimes in this game to Jackson, Smith and Jigba who made incredible catches. And it didn't matter matter if Jackson was open, if it was a small window, if it was a tight window. They connected and there probably could have been one more connection. But he went to Arroyo for the touchdown. But Jackson, Smith and JBA was wide open on the other side. One beat Amos on a, on a double move and could have easily been another touchdown for him. He goes down. He ties the franchise record with four straight hundred yard games and he's making it look Easy. He had 100 yards at the half. He ended with eight catches for 129. But Torrey Horton, the rookie, the steal of the draft. Four catches for 48 yards and two big touchdowns. Cody White also had a 60 yard touchdown on his only reception of the game. Eric Arroyo, like I said before, had the touchdown. AJ Barner got in the end zone with, with the tush push type deal. He's their tush push guy. It's this thing. Just looks like they're having a lot of fun offensively. They were top five in the league coming into this game. This would do nothing but help. That their case. The defense though, I mean they're getting it, they're getting it from every, every side. The secondary is playing good and they're playing good because they're getting healthier. Devin Witherspoon is back. Tariq Wulin is playing good football. The D line is getting contributions from everywhere. DeMarcus Lawrence continues to be dominant. Leonard Williams continues to earn his money. They're without big Jaren Reed, but when he comes back, it's going to continue to be what it is. Byron Murphy, the first round pick is showing again in his second year. Why they picked him so early in the draft. He gets the sack in his game and you love to see it. Derek Cole was dominant both in a run in the past game. Um, I, Ernest Jones went down in this game and I, I haven't been. I'm not sure what the injury was, but hopefully he returns pretty quickly. But you just keep seeing this, this team evolve and, and regardless of situation, I think this is. Mike McDonald is, is now 11 and one on the road, if I'm not mistaken, staking in road games in his coaching career. And that's just, that's just incredible. He's 11 and 1. They're, they're finding ways to win again. They were number two in my power rankings. They're only going to move up with the Indianapolis Colts losing in the way they did in the fashion they did with six turnovers. So I'm looking forward to them moving up, but I'm happy the rest of the world got to see what, what the Seattle Seahawks fans have known majority of this season, that this team is special, that they're, they're getting it done and they can compete with anyone in the National Football League. And I believe that. And they can play any kind of game. They can play a shootout type game. They can play a low scoring game against the dominant defense like they did against the Houston Texans. They can slug it out with, with anybody. And I don't think any team in the NFC wants to see Seattle on their schedule, home or away in January. And the reason is because right now, statistically, they're better on the road than at home. So if they end up having to go on the road, I don't think they mind, I don't think they mind being road warriors. And you don't, you don't say that about many teams that, hey, man, they'd probably be okay if they had to go on the road in the playoffs. The way Mike McDonald has these boys playing. Send them on a roll. I mean, they, they take this five seed, they take the six seed, send us on the road because they'd feel good about it. You, they're on the road and potential could potentially be going to Green Bay, Wisconsin. They'd feel pretty good about it if they had to go to, to, to Detroit. They feel pretty good about it. I'm sorry, Detroit. That, that was a rough loss you guys had against the Minnesota Vikings today. And this is, this Seattle Seahawks team is better than that Minnesota Vikings team. No question about that. But if you said they had to go to any of those teams, if they had to go to Tampa to play the Buccaneers, who have been playing really well in the shootout type of game they had, they'd feel good about it. And I'm sure Tampa would say they feel good about it. They have to go to Philadelphia to play the Philadelphia Eagles, et cetera, et cetera, it'd be a good game. So I feel really good about this Seattle Seahawks team. Like I said, I had them winning the NFC west before the season started, and I feel even better about it. There were a lot of people questioning this offensive line they continue to jail and mold. Gray Zabel has not allowed a sack this season. Has the 6th lowest QB pressure percentage allowed among offensive linemen. That's per next gen stats. I know people don't like pff, but that's next gen stats and he has been everything they hoped he would be. Charles Cross, Abe Lucas, this offensive line now could, could, could they get a little better? Will they be active during a trade deadline? Probably. You know, I, the, the, the right guard spot is the, the, the spot that, that is kind of the, the question mark a lot of these games and, and that's no offense, but that's just where it's been. And if they, if they feel good about it, they'll probably, you know, say, hey, these last couple games they feel good. The, the offense has. Maybe they feel good moving forward, maybe they want to secure some depth moving forward. But there aren't a lot of weaknesses to this Seattle Seahawks team, especially defensively. They're amongst the league leaders in rush yards, in points per game and rush yards per game, top 10 in total defense, and a lot of the rushing stats that this D line takes pride in. They're amongst the league leaders. You're not coming in here and, and running the football. On the Seattle Seahawks, that little bit of a question mark. An issue is the Seahawks running game between K9 and Charbonnet. They weren't even able to muster 100 yards in a game that they were dominant. And they were up early in this game and up throughout the game. So you would think, hey, at that time, you lean on the run game, you get some, some easy yards, but they weren't able to do that. They had to continue to pass the ball and, and that's the one thing that I think they're going to have to find some answers to. They're going to have to work on because they, they averaged under 4 yards to carry, didn't have 100 yards rushing total in this game. And that's, that's been the issue the entire season. So that's one of the only things that you, if you're going to nitpick, that's something you can nitpick about. Charbonnet had eight carries for 24, 25 yards. Kenneth Walker had 11 carries for 42 yards. So you just need more out of the running game from those two explosive backs. But that's just nitpicking. This is a really good Seattle Seahawks team that's, that's been playing well. Next week they have the Arizona Cardinals in a game that I know they'll feel good about division games are always tough, but the way the Seattle Seahawks are playing, I think they can play with anybody in this league, and they should feel good about just about every other game they have during this season. Then they got the Rams, the Titans, the Vikings. We talked about the Rams again late in the season, but a lot of these are winnable games, and a lot of these games they should be favored in. So I had them at 11 and 6, but it might be better than that, the way they're playing. The commanders struggled in this game, both sides of the football. And Jaden Daniel, the superstar quarterback, the young sensation went down with a, with an apparent elbow injury. Looked pretty serious on the field. They, they braced him up and he walked off the field. A lot of people question him, why he was still in the game. Up 31. I mean, down 31. Some people are competitors, and he, he, he was still in there, and I'm sure he didn't want to come out. It's unfortunate. I, I, I know there's always room to criticize coaches, but, you know, at that point, you're letting a guy compete and show what he can do. They were in position to score. I'm sure you came out after that drive. You can't predict when injuries happen. It's just an unfortunate situation. So you wish nothing but the best for him and quick healing and for him and his commander's team that are three and six and struggling this season. They got the Lions next in a game that the Lions have to win. Uh, they'll be, it looks like they'll be with Marcus Mariota for the foreseeable future, and we'll see how that goes for them. But what a win for the Seattle Seahawks. Oh, I love it when they win. I, it's just a great day, and it's great to celebrate it with you guys on the Richard Sherman podcast. And another one of my teams that won, the San Francisco 49ers. And I know Seahawks fans don't like when I switch, and Niner fans don't like when I switch. Well, I'm sorry if you don't like it, you can turn it off now. And Niner fans, what a game. The San Francisco 49ers go to MetLife Stadium and get a dub against the New York Giants. And what a game for Mac Jones started the game off 14 and 14. His first incompletion didn't come until the second half. He did have a fumble in the game, but it was one of those plays that I Feel like is is on the offensive line. That's on Colton McKivitz gets beat clean by Brian Burns and he hits Mac Jones as he's releasing the football. It's a fumble. Great play by him. Great play by Abdul Carter to, to, to catch the football. Ended up being a fumble, but outside of that, he played a really efficient game. 19 to 24, 2, 35, 2 touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey goes over a hundred yards on the ground, gets a touchdown and also has a touchdown through the air with five catches for 67 yards. Sixteen games down with a rushing and receiving touchdown. That's the most all time. Congrats to Christian. What a game from him. But the thing I want to talk about from this game was the defense. And I know, I know in the end it looks like they gave up a little bit of points. They give up 24 points. But in one of those plays I got, I got to look and see what happened with Demo because I couldn't tell if it was quarters, but you know, Upton Stout went to the flat, so could it have been three? It just looked like it might have just been a brain fart of sorts. But I mean, Brian Robinson looked really good in this game. He only carried the ball five times, but at 53 yards and a touchdown, he was running with passion and he was running with intent. Looked like he was trying to prove a point and speak to his value and just speak to him. Getting more opportunities. It's tough, you know, when you've, when you've been a starter and you got to be a backup and you got to keep trying to, trying to battle and fight for, for a chance when you're behind a potential hall of Fame running back, it's, it's not a place many running backs want to be. But great game for him. George Kittle returns four catches for 32 yards. Juwan third. And Juwan had a great touchdown catch on what we used to call a Colorado route, but a pivot route. Great route, great touchdown from him. On the defensive side, Sam Okuanu has a sack. Colin Farrell has a sack in his first game back with the Niners. That was, that was a. Could have been a sack force fumble, but a great play from him. The 49ers defense did, did a, did a great job especially early on. They, they gave up a first drive touchdown, but after that they gave up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 straight 3 or 4 or 5 and out. And that, that was phenomenal for this team. Even after the, the, the fourth fumble in their own territory. They were able to get a stop and force a miss field goal from the Giants. You got to give them credit. Young guys playing, obviously they gave up some points at the end, got some things they want to clean up, but they're still working in Colin Farrell, who, you know, didn't spend a lot of time away so, so picked up this game pretty fast. I'm. They're excited about Keon White and what he can bring to this to this depleted San Francisco 49ers pass rush and defensive line. They may have lost Mikhail Williams for, for a little while. I'm not sure about the severity of that injury, but this is still a big win. San Francisco 49ers, for all the turmoil, all the ups and downs of the season are still 6 and 3. Still learning with this young defense. Still figuring things out. Still are active during before the trade deadline which ends Tuesday. There's a ton of rumors out there. We'll see which ones are true and which ones aren't. With the Cincinnati Bengals losing again, are they more up to deal? Trey Hendrickson, maybe. Are there other names out there that may be available? Potentially? We will see. You can never go wrong trusting Kyle Shanahan and John lynch and what they've done. Their track record is what it is, the way they've battled throughout this season, the way the team has fought throughout this season. You got to give them a ton of credit for what they've been able to accomplish. You look online, you wouldn't think The San Francisco 49ers are 6 and 3 and really battling for the division lead in a really, really tough NFC west, but that's where they are. And that's, that's the truth of the situation. They're competitive. They're, they're doing a great job. They got a tough division game next week against the Rams at home. That the McVeigh Shanahan game is always a tough game. Obviously the Niners were able to pull it off in Levi's south with, with a very banged up receiving core, banged up quarterback, etc. Etc. It looks like Brock Purdy will be making a return that game. At least that's what the, the tea leaves say. And you would believe if he has a full week of practice under his belt and they feel great about the, the soreness that he experiences after. He'll get his first start in quite a while and what, a month and a half. So we'll see how that goes. You know, I'm sure there'll be a little bit of rust there, but they'll be excited to have their, their, their starter back. I think there may be a chance for them to get Bryce Huff back. We'll, we'll see. There's no guarantees in this game. They put Gross Matos on ir, so I'm sure they'll be looking to fill his spot. But overall, this has been, this was a good game for the 49ers, and I expect them to continue to continue to battle to continue to play well. If they, if they can pull off this, this Rams game, if they could pull off a win against the Rams and move to seven and three, I would, I would assume they're in a driver's seat of the NFC west, but that's a big if the, the Rams are playing well. They're playing well today. They're, they're playing against the Saints team that's been struggling today. And, and you know, you expect them to win that game. So it's going to be a tough matchup. That's going to be, it may be the game of the week next week. I got to see the full schedule, but it's going to be up there. That's going to be a tough game for both teams and I look forward to seeing it.

Now we got to move on to Indianapolis, who have been the darlings of the league, who have been the, the, the greatest story of the league about, you know, perseverance and, and, and you know, comeback player of the year and the way Daniel Jones has been playing and Jonathan Taylor has been toting the rock and scoring touchdowns in abundance. But this was a comeback to earth moment, a pumpkin game as Ryan Fitzpatrick will put it, for the Colts and for Daniel Jones. They turn the ball over six times against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So Pittsburgh Steelers defense that's been, I mean to put it lightly, struggling. They, they were, I think they were 32nd in pass defense, 30th in total defense, et cetera, et cetera, but basically near the bottom of the league in a lot of categories but still a very talented defense, especially in the back end and up front and a defense that takes a lot of pride. And you, you saw that this week. TJ Watt had a heck of a game forcing the fumble and recovering it. Joy Porter got him an interception. The, the, the back end played well. They intercepted Daniel Jones three times, forced two fumbles. He turned the ball over five times by himself. Josh Downs also had a fumble. So you got to give Pittsburgh a lot of credit. They, they battled and they dominated this game from start to finish. Daniel Jones threw for 342 but he and a touchdown but he threw the three interceptions. The the Steelers did a great job of keeping Jonathan Taylor in check. He only had 14 carries for 45 yards. That's a lot of their offense. So people wonder why Daniel Jones is able to have this kind of success. It's because a great and potent run game opens up the passing game because linebackers and safeties and everybody have to commit to stopping that. And if they do, it gives you more space and opportunity in the back end. And I think that's what's been helping like Bowie Daniel Jones, which is, which is great because it, it happens to a lot of great quarterbacks. You, you don't really know. You notice their weaknesses because they're, they're, they have a great run game that, that masks them. But this game, they stopped Jonathan Taylor and they said, hey, we're going to make Daniel Jones beat us. And he wasn't able to. They took advantage of that in a big way, beating the, the, the, the Colts 20 to 27. And the game wasn't as close as the ending score looks. Aaron Rodgers played an efficient game or a really solid game by his standards. 20, 25 or 35. 2,03 and a touchdown. Jalen Warren gets two touchdowns, but only has 31 yards in the game. But the story of the game was the Steelers defense. Five sacks, three force fumbles, three interceptions. They were plus five in the turnover differential in this game alone against the Colts team that was plus 8 leading the league coming into this game. And turnover differential, that obviously changed tremendously. But that's a winning formula. Obviously that's not sustainable. But getting that many turnovers, getting that kind of confidence in this team. 5 sacks. TJ Watt playing the way he did. This is the Steelers defense. They were expecting this offseason when they signed all these guys, when they paid T.J. watt, when they, when they paid Cam Hayward a little bit more. These are the kind of performances they were expecting and this is what they got. The Colts have a game next week against the Atlanta Falcons that looks like a winnable game. The Falcons just lost to the New England Patriots, who may be the class of the AFC right now. You really just don't know who the, who the best team in the AFC is right now because it changes every week. And every, just about every top AFC team can make an argument. The Patriots can make an argument. The Colts can make an argument. Buffalo can make an argument. The Chiefs can make an argument. But the Colts next game is the Falcons. That's a winnable game for them. The Steelers go go and play the Chargers next week at Chargers team that potentially just lost Joe Alt. Their, their, you know, all world left tackle for a substantial amount of time. We'll see if they can if they can overcome that injury. They already losing Rashan Slater for the season during training camp. So you hope that they continue to battle but you hope it's not too serious for Joe Alt in all reality Another game in the NFC west the LA Rams take on the New Orleans Saints and Matthew Stafford has his way. He's having an MVP type season. He's got 21 touchdowns on the season now two only two interceptions. Kyron Williams ran the ball 25 times for 114 yards and a touchdown. Puka Nakua continues his dominant season, seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. Devonte gets involved with two touchdowns on five receptions for 60 yards. They had 30 first downs in this game and the Rams held the ball for 43 minutes of a 60 minute ball game. 43 minutes. That's insane. But but kudos to them obviously. The Saints are struggling team. Tyler Shaw had 50, was 1524 for 176 yards, touchdown interception, his first career start. Solid numbers versus a really really good LA Rams team. They're now 6 and 2 in a stacked NFC West. The the Rams are 6 and 2, the Niners are 6 and 3, the Seahawks are 6 and 2 with a huge win on Sunday night. I really can't call who's going to win this and anybody who says they can, you can't. The Rams have already lost to the, to the to the Niners and have to play them again and and obviously they got to play the Seahawks at some point but it's going to be a fun division to watch. I I expect all three of these teams to make the playoffs and make some noise but give a lot of credit to Matthew Stafford and the way he's playing elevating this team. They held the Saints to 10 points which again isn't saying enough. The Saints are a one win team that are likely going to be picking at the top of the draft. But still Matthew Stafford has been effective and efficient and continues to elevate at what is he now 39, 39 years of age. And I think that's something to be really applauded and appreciated because there's a reason these older quarterbacks, Stafford, Flacco, Aaron Rodgers can play as long as they have because they were built. They were built in their, their foundational understanding of the game was built at a time you had to have the answers as a quarterback you had to have the answers. No, you didn't have to worry about, you didn't have to worry about a coordinator script in a Play or, or scheming a play open for you, you had to read it and weave it, read it and execute the play. You have to read it and go through your progression. Bang, bang, bang. Now, I think a lot of these kids are handicapped, and by kids, I mean quarterbacks coming out of college. I think they're handicapped. They never learn how to read a defense. They never learn how to, how to, how to foundationally like create a play and create a progression and go through it and read it. They are depending on the coordinator to say, hey, it's a man's side, it's his own side. These are your training wheels. We'll send you a motion so that you get an indicator and then you go to the side that's your indicator. You see it's man. You go to the man side. If you see his zone, you go to the zone side. And a lot of these guys are leaning on their, their legs and broken plays and backyard football. But I think there will always be a place for quarterbacks who understand how to read defenses and go through progressions at a fundamental level. That's why these guys can still play quarterback. That's why you could probably call some of the other older guys to come back and they would still be executing at a high level because that's the way they were built. So congratulations of Matthew Stafford. It seems like if he continues this, his, his name will be in the MVP conversation and rightfully so. This Rams team is playing well. He's playing well. Of course, we got to see how the season progresses, but it's looking really good for the Rams. They're playing great defensively, they're a strong team. NFC west looks like the strongest division in football and can't say much more than that. Next week, the LA Rams have another division battle against the the San Francisco 49ers. The Shanahan McVeigh matchup goes to San Francisco, to Levi's. The real Levi this time, not Levi Shout. A tough battle and it looks like Brock Purdy again is going to return for that game. So it's going to be a huge. That's going to be a huge moment for both of these teams because if the Niners win, they hold the tiebreaker over the Rams. If the Rams win, they create a barrier of separation between them and the San Francisco 49ers. So huge divisional matchup that has some real, real big implications.

Podcast the one extremely fluid and common factor in emotion when it comes to war and battle is fear for both sides. Do you remember the fear of combat? A hundred percent, yeah. This Veterans Day. The Good Stuff podcast honors those who've served and the stories that remind us what strength really looks like. Had over 50 operations and had 23 blood transfusions.

It is extremely difficult, difficult to navigate the VA system. I think what frustrates us the most is thinking about our veterans From World War II era, from Vietnam era that don't have an advocate on the phone every day, all day calling for them.

Richard Sherman
Another big time game that happened today was the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Buffalo Bills. And this game happened as many of the regular season games have happened between these two teams. The Buffalo Bills controlled the game from start to finish. They held Patrick Mahomes to his worst completion percentage of his career. He was 15 of 34, 250 yards and an interception. No touchdowns in the game through the year. Rasheed Rice had four reception for 80 yards and a rushing touchdown. The Chiefs defense had three sacks, but Josh Allen was in total command this game. He was really efficient. I think he set the franchise record in Buffalo today for completion percentage. He was 23 of 26 for 273 and a touchdown. He also ran for two on the tush push type deal. Dalton Kincaid had a really great game. Six catches for one on one and a touchdown. Their defense was aggressive. They were swarming. Joey Bosa had a big game. He was, he was in the quarterback's face a lot of these games. On the turnover Patrick Mahomes had, Joey Bosa was, was, was putting the pressure on along with the sack that he had in the game. It led to an interception. Their rookie corner is looking like he's developing into a really great player and a playmaker. And again, like I said the other night, this game is going to have playoff implications later on down the line. Sure. We know the Kansas City Chiefs are going to go on a run. They're going to make the playoffs. I have no doubt about that. But they're really close to 500 right now and the seating is going to matter. So it's looking like they will have to Go to Buffalo. So things can change. Buffalo can lose. They lost to the, to the New England Patriots in Buffalo. Things can change throughout the season. But the Chiefs, this is a game that really could have put the Chiefs in that elite conversation again where they know they, they deserve to be where they've been every single year and where they'll likely be in January. But you know, and I know what everybody's going to say. They always beat him in the regular season. Wait till playoffs. We understand that. That's, that's, that's fair. A fair point and a point that I'm happy to listen to. But you also have to give credit to a team that, that won. So we're going to give the Buffalo Bills credit. They won this game. They look dominant. Cook had 27 carries for 114 yards. He looked, he looked really good in this game. He continues to look good and dominant. This team looks, they look like they have great weapons in a secondary, guys that are going to be big time playmakers down the road. And I think this Buffalo Bills team, again, as always, is going to be formative when January comes. But this game, being in January in Buffalo, in January will matter. Will matter. It doesn't always matter to Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs, but I think it matters to Buffalo fans and Josh Allen. I think they'll feel good about that, especially coming off this win. But we say that every single year. So we'll see what happens in the playoffs, as they are going to put it. But the time of possession was in Buffalo's favor. They controlled the game. Josh Allen has now won five straight regular season matchups versus Mahone, who has won all four of the playoff matchups. Even though Josh Allen has played outstanding in the playoffs, he's gone home a loser every single time. The Chiefs have the Broncos next. Another tough game in this, in this really tough AFC West. The Bills have the Dolphins, who, who are kind of a dumpster fire right now. And, and it looks like another good win for them. So they could be potentially be 7 and 2 going forward. I, I can't imagine. I, I, I can't say that. You know, I don't want to jinx anybody, but there aren't many worlds where I could see the, the Buffalo Bills losing to the Miami Dolphins in the state that they're in and the issues that they're dealing with. We're not even sure who's going to be on the Dolphins after Tuesday. I'm sure they're going to lose some players to trade with the Way their record and their season's going, they're going to try to get some value for some of these guys. I would, I would assume chub and waddle, you know, Phillips maybe, who knows. But guys are going to be available and, and people are going to be buyers. You know, a lot of these teams need a pass rusher if they can find some offensive line help that, that are, that are available. I'm sure teams will ask. But I'm looking forward to seeing how this trade trade deadline pass goes. What teams are really in all in on the action. I'm sure phones are ringing right now and if I'm the San Francisco 49ers, I'm calling for D line help. There's, there's rumors that, that they may lose Mikhail Williams for the season with an acl. So you're going to need even more help after losing Nicholas John Bolsa to an acl. I mean these are, these are really tough injuries and we Talked about the MetLife Stadium, but it looks like it's claimed another victim, unfortunately. I don't understand it. I don't really have a great explanation for it. But again it puts the San Francisco 49ers even more in the market to get help, to get veteran help. Even though they just got, got Cleveland Farrell and, and, and Keon White. They, they're going to need more, they're going to need more guys and if they're going to be competitive. The Vikings upset the Detroit lions in Detroit 27 to 24. J.J. mcCarthy gets it done, 14 to 25 for 143 yards, two touchdown and the interception. Also ran for a score. I think that was the game winning score that he ran for. Their defense was harassing Jared Goff the entire game. Had five sacks in the game. Justin Jefferson, six catches, 47 yards in that touchdown. This was a game I'm sure the Lions felt good about coming in a loss that really is a head scratcher. You know that the Vikings can play good defense, that they can bring exotic looks, put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. But there were too many uncharacteristic issues for the Detroit Lions. They got a field goal block in the game and, and Isaiah Rogers returns it back to, to, to Detroit territory for his team late in the game. Jared Goff, 25, 37 for 2, 84 and 2 touchdowns. He was solid, but again he was harassed the entire game. There's some issues that popped up along that offensive line. David Montgomery with a, with a critical fumble in this game. And again I talked about the block. Field goal with a chance to make it a four point game in the fourth quarter. That was a huge play in the game. Tyrion Arnold with finally scratches gets him an interception. My guy. Congratulations on your first pick. The Detroit Lions got five sacks in this game to go along with the five sacks the Minnesota Vikings got. So you can't really blame the pass rush but, but they weren't able to stop the run at the end of the day. Aaron Jones averaged 8.7 per carry in this game. They ran for 142 yards and a touchdown. That's the difference in the game. But division games are always tough and I'm sure the Detroit Lions are going to come back, they're going to lick their wounds, try to figure it out. Dan Campbell is going to keep this team motivated, but that's a loss that, that's going to haunt them. Late in the season against the Minnesota Vikings team playing a young quarterback in his first game back from injury, you would, you would hope they could win this game at home, but they were unable to do it. And I just know we're going to be talking about this late in the season when it, when it's going to come down to a game or two the standings, whether you're home or away, whether you get the buy or whether you're, you're, you're battling and you're traveling on the road against a, a top seed. So yeah, congratulations to the Minnesota Vikings and, and Lions got to figure it out. They got the commanders next week a rematch of, of the divisional game in which they lost. I'm sure there's a bit of a revenge there. Were they looking forward to that? I highly doubt it. The Vikings play the Baltimore Ravens who, who have Lamar Jackson back who threw for four touchdowns on Thursday night and look like they're re energized. So I'm looking forward to seeing how that game goes next week. But the game that may have been the biggest upset of the day so far was the Carolina Panthers beating the Green Bay packers in Lambeau. This game was a defensive battle. Bryce Young only threw for 102 yards on 11 pass. I mean 11 for 24, 102 yards and in an interception to Xavier McKinney who finally got him a op and he took full advantage of him. Xavier McKinney played an incredible game. Also had a second game, was working on player of the week. You got to give Green Bay's defense a lot of credit. They were battling. This was back and forth game. Jordan Love 26, 37 for 273. But in the interception, he could have had two interceptions. There was a fourth and eight deep in the. In Carolina territory. He looked back, he threw it up. Michael Jackson was unable to catch the football even though he was by itself. I didn't see a Green Bay Packer in the screen. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about Green Bay fans. When y' all are sitting there telling me that he's the answer, and I look up, y' all in a dog fight with the Carolina Panthers, who've been battling this year. They're five and four. They're finding ways to win. But yeah, Green Bay, you can't go 1 for 5 in the red zone in any game and expect to win. That was the issue in this game. They were one for five and they were unable to generate points. They were just unable to generate points. They were able to push the ball down the field, get to the red zone. And the Carolina Panthers kept standing up each and every time in the red zone. And the Green Bay packers had no answer. Josh Jacobs, but played a good game. 17 or 87 and a touchdown late in the game. That was the one red zone score they had. But again, this is. This is one of those inexcusable losses where you're scratching your head because you want to say, hey, this Green Bay packers team is the best team in nfc. You want to be able to say that unequivocally, but you can't because you just don't know what you're going to get from the quarterback. And I keep saying it and people keep calling me, oh, I'm hating on the guy. No, I'm not. I'm really not. It's just, you can't. Jekyll and Hyde in this league. You can't and expect to be called great consistently. If you do, that's what you'll be the fringe. Great. You'll be good sometimes. But in order for the Green Bay packers to go where they want to go this season and to really be super bowl contenders, he's going to have to be better. We know what LaFleur can do, drawing up an offense. We know what Josh Jacobs can do. We know what that defense could do. And sure they can. They could have got more pressure today. They could have. They could have put more pressure on. On Bryce Young. No question about it. You always expect, hey, you're paying the guy $40 something million dollars, $45 million, $46 million. You expect him to have a sack every game. I know that's what Green Bay packers fans are saying, that's not realistic. You guys got a great defensive line. They're going to get home. There's a reason that Bryce Young only threw the ball 20 times. But Rico Dowdle 25 carries for 1:30 and 2T, two TDs. That's the issue. They couldn't stop the run. They did get us. They got the sack on defense, they got the turnover on defense. But again, you have to be able to generate points in the red zone. You can't just get to the red zone and, and say, hey, we're going to take three. And then McManus missed one of them. You missed a field goal. That's going to hurt you. Every single time you have a turnover on downs in the red zone, that's going to hurt you. That counts as a turnover. And most coaches books so that's where it is. You know. Are the Green Bay Packers a good team? They're five two on one and they're two losses. They've been similar to this. They've been against teams that you weren't expecting them to lose to. The the Cleveland Browns and the Carolina Panthers. And the Carolina Panthers scored 16 points, a last second welcome field goal. And I want to say Cleveland scored 13 points. So you need your $55 million quarterback to generate more than 20 points and you win both of them. You're, you're likely, you're likely what, 7, 0 and 1. Because the game he played his butt off and played really well. The defense gives up 40 points and it's a tie against the Dallas Cowboys. But give Dak Prescott a lot of credit that can. Dak is one of those ones and he played like it that game. But he's been up and down this season as well. But in order for the Green Bay packers to be who they want to be and who everybody expects them to be, including myself, it's going to be on the arm of Jordan Love. That's what their where their season is going to rest. And you guys can argue with somebody else because you're not going to argue with me when he isn't efficient and effective. Even when Josh Jacobs runs for 87 yards and a touchdown and really has a good impact on his game, you're still going to need the quarterback to get it done in the red zone. You're going to need your quarterback to be efficient and effective and he was not. This game and the two losses, that's the story of the game. Who we'll see Green Bay, we'll see Because I believe in his defense, I believe in his offense and the play caller. I think they're going to be a great team. They have a really, really tough matchup next week in a playoff rematch against the Eagles. That will tell us a lot. That game will tell us a lot about this team. Have they progressed? He threw three interceptions last year against this Eagles team. Will he throw three touchdowns? Potentially. He could potentially have the answers and correct the mistakes. There's still a tough Eagles team. They just traded for Jair Alexander. I'm sure he'll be playing in this game. So we'll see next week. The Panthers have the Saints, a game that's a winnable game. The Saints have been struggling. It looks like they may be picking really early in the draft next year. So good for the Carolina Panthers, though. Good game for the Carolina Panthers. David Canales, you know, starting to build something cool out there in Carolina. It's good to see and good for Rico Dowdle, who continues to show up with his opportunities and make the most of his opportunities. Always love a guy that makes the most of his opportunities and he's continued to do that and it looks like in this game he surpassed Chubba Hubbard on the depth chart. Finally, we'll see if that's. If that's the truth or maybe this is just a one game thing.

But the Broncos beat the Houston Texans in a defensive battle. CJ Stroud gets knocked out early in the game and in a Play on a play that is going to cause a lot of controversy, I'm sure. Was it a legal hit? Was it unnecessary roughness? Should he have slid earlier? Is he protected? Et cetera, et cetera? I'll give you my two cents on it. I give you my two cents on it. You got to slide, and you got to slide early enough to protect yourself. I know I'm a defensive player and people are going to call me biased, but you can't be in between. The game is happening too fast, and as a defensive player, all you're worried about is limiting yards and limiting impact. And when you're a quarterback and you're in the middle of the defense you're running, you, you. You're in the middle of making a move or sliding or sit down or whatever, slide. Just slide, get to the ground and the play's over. Guys will jump over you or whatever. But when you're in between, and I'm committed, it's not dirty for guys to make the hit. This is football. It's a violent game. And I'm not even sure that was a penalty in general, if I'm being honest, because he didn't hit him in the head. Now Shroud's head whipped back and hit the turf. So that ends up being what. What caused the concussion, in my opinion. But I don't know what you guys expect defensive players to do this. This is an offensive game. They've tailored it and made sure that everybody understands it's an offensive league. But everything shouldn't benefit the offense. And you can't keep punishing defensive players because quarterbacks won't protect themselves. And it happened in the 49ers Giants game as well. When Jackson Dart runs, becomes a runner, doesn't really slide. Half slides and takes a hit from Bethune. And they say unnecessary roughness, head or neck area. What are we doing? When, how, how, how does a runner who's running the football and does not slide in time get those kind of protections? That's. That's going to be troubling in this game. And I'm sure illegal come back and say, oh, those are the wrong calls. But in the midst, in the middle of the game, those could be costly calls. Especially in a game like this where it's such a tough game and the points are so valuable, you. You can't have those things. And then that's where, where I think the refs are going to have to figure it out. They're going to have to figure things out. But for. For the Denver Broncos, who we have this week on Thursday Night Football. What a win. Another fourth quarter comeback for Bo Knicks in the Denver Broncos. They always seem to have it when they need it. This is six wins in a row. They're seven and two. Again, back to the conversation about who the best team in the AFC is. The comeback kids could make a case. They could make a case for being one of the best defenses in National Football League as well. And this is without their, their defensive player, the reigning defensive player of the year at corner. So when, when they're able to play like this. I know Houston Texans offenses struggle, but CJ Shroud looked really good last week against the San Francisco 49ers. Davis Mills came in and played a solid game, and Instead he was 1730 for 137. They held Nick Chubb in place. The Texans were only able to get field goals in this game. They had five field goals in this game as the 15 points they got. So the Broncos were able to keep them out the end zone. And Bo Nicks did enough. He threw two touchdowns. He did have the interception, but his 36 rushing yards are the story of this game. He, late in the game, the last drive, the scoring drive, he was able to scramble and find a hole in the defense and pretty much get them in field goal range and give them a chance to win this game. It's really, really cool to see what he's doing, what Sean Payton and these guys are doing out there. They, they built a really good team. And again, in a division that's been dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos are making a case. They're making a case. And it doesn't always have to be pretty. Doesn't always have to be the way you want it. I mean, you don't want to have to always come from behind, score 33 points in the fourth like they did against the Giants. But I think games like this give you confidence that you can, that, that it's never over and that as long as you have this guy under center and this play caller, you guys have a chance to win the game. Their defense battled throughout the game and they pulled it out. It's going to be a really, really fun finish to the season. No question about it. The Denver Broncos play the, the Raiders, who've been struggling this week. So they could, they, they could be 8 and 2 by Friday, which would be saying a lot about this team coming into the season. Obviously, they made the payoffs last year. I don't know if the expectations were for a team to potentially be 8 and 2 this point in the season, but they definitely are and they're only getting better. And when Patrick certain comes back, they'll only get healthier. And they, they are a team that I think should make a move for receiver and check the availability of some of these receivers and maybe get themselves in even better position going into the to November. But speaking of unheralded teams, the New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 24 to 23. Drake May continues his stellar play. He's 19 of 29, 259, two touchdowns. He did have the interception. He, he's, he, he's playing good football and he's playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League right now. And he has been again, just like the Denver Broncos. The Patriots have won six games in a row. They've won six games in a row. They're playing solid defense. They're just gritty and grimy and they're going to get it done by any means necessary. They have a defense that, that just gets it done by any means necessary. Michael Pennix was battling throughout this game. Drake London, three touchdown catches in the game. Pennix was 22 of 37, 221, three touchdowns. Lejean Robinson had eight catches for 50 yards and 12 rushes for 46 yards. But they missed, they lost the game because of a missed pat. Drake London scores a touchdown. That, that brings him within one. And again all you have to do is kick the pat, make the pat, and the game goes to overtime. Unfortunately, they were unable to do that. But those are the things you got to have. You got to have the details, you got to have the fundamentals. And making a PAT counts as a fundamental in my book. They weren't able to do it. So now the Patriots again, another seven and two teams in the afc, you got to give credit where it's due. You got to give credit where it's due. I know people are like, they shouldn't be. And it's still going to be the Chiefs and the Bills late in the season. No question about it. These are great teams who know how to win in the playoffs. But do not discount these young whippersnappers, these young kids, these young firestarters, because they're winning right now. Just like I wouldn't discount the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City Chiefs were seven and two right now. We put them one in power rankings and we let the rest tell itself. If the Buffalo Bills again are going to be seven and two, that's what we do. But Buffalo Bills lost to this New England Patriots team. So there's something to be said about that. I believe in this team. Good for Vrabel. Vrabel gets let go from the Tennessee Titans. The Tennessee Titans fire his replacement a year and five games into his tenure, which says a lot about Tennessee Titans. And the Patriots get their coach of the future and he has this team playing well and battling each and every week. The Patriots have the Bucs next week. That's a fun game. That's going to be a fun game. I can't wait to watch that game. And the Falcons again have the Indianapolis Colts. Can't wait to watch that one. The Bears and the Bengals in a shootout. In a shootout. 89 total points in the game. Flacco throws for 474 touchdowns in an interception. T. Higgins has seven for 121 and two touchdowns. Jamar Chase six for 111. No touchdowns. Yoska Yosef has five for 66 and a touchdown. And Chase Brown eight for 75. What a game for Joe Flacco. But they were unable to get the win because the Bears. The Bears. Colston Loveless Loveland has six catches for 118 including a 58 yard game winning touchdown with I think 25 seconds to go in the game. Just inexcusable for the Cincinnati Bengals in that defense. And again they've lost back to back games where their offense has scored 38 and 42 points. I don't understand how you do it. I. It's been bad defense and there was a stat when we had their game that said Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and T. Higgins were about $92 million and their entire defensive cap hit was 82 million. And I mean that, that tells the story. That tells the story. You get what you pay for. But to give up 47 to the Bears is, is tough. It's tough. Give, give, give Caleb Williams a lot of credit. 20 for 34, 283 touchdowns ran for 53 yards. And they run all over the Bengals. Kyle Money guy, 26 carries for 176 and he didn't have a touchdown on the day. But dominate the game on the ground. I'm sure Ben Johnson is ecstatic about this performance. Obviously defensively they could do better than that. But to score 47 points, you're always excited. The Bears have the giant snacks and the Bengals have the Pittsburgh Steelers in another AFC north battle. The Bengals defense is, is, has just been awful. They're. They're ranked last in almost every major major category including total defense, rush defense, and points allowed per game. You can't do it. Doesn't matter who your, your quarterback is or who your offense or your receivers are. You can pay them 92 million and they're getting the production, they're getting the production out of this offense. They've scored 42 points and they still lose. So that's where you, you have a problem with this offense. That 42 points and you still lose is very frustrating for, for, for those players. I'm sure T. Higgins and Jamar Chase and Joe Flacco, incredibly frustrated. You can't have it. You score 42, they score 47. You score 38, they score 39. Man, that'd be tough on me. As always, I appreciate you guys joining me. You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me and I surely, surely always appreciate it. Hit that sub button if you know.

It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape.
