Podcast Summary: “What’s Wright – NFL Week 4 Reaction: Chiefs CRUSH Ravens, Eagles ISSUES? Cowboys & Packers TIE?”

Podcast: The Herd with Colin Cowherd (The Volume, iHeartPodcasts)
Host: Nick Wright, with co-host Damanze
Episode: #372 | Aired: October 1, 2025

Overview

Nick Wright and Damanze break down NFL Week 4’s biggest moments, focusing on the Chiefs’ dominant win over the Ravens, questions about the Eagles’ unconvincing undefeated run, and a bizarre Cowboys-Packers overtime tie. The episode also covers critical injuries (notably Tyreek Hill), rapid recaps of every Sunday game, and trademark candid, statistic-backed analysis with Nick’s characteristic wit.

Chiefs CRUSH Ravens: Chiefs “Steady the Ship”

Breaking Down the Game & Narrative (02:25–16:50)

Chiefs bounce back after a shaky 0–2 start, crushing the shorthanded Ravens.
- The win marks a shift in external perception; media was quick to write off Kansas City amid receiver injuries and early losses.
- Nick pushes back on the postgame narrative that the outcome was “obvious” due to Baltimore’s injuries, noting that most predictions did not factor this in.
- Quote:
  
  “The fatalism surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media was... embarrassing and it was so fickle and so myopic… as if they don’t have a Hall of Fame head coach... and the most talented quarterback to ever live that they couldn’t figure it out.”
  — Nick Wright (07:45)
Ravens Remain a Concern: Lamar’s Big-Game Woes (20:22–30:53)
- Nick spotlights a pivotal Lamar Jackson mistake—a backpedaling desperation interception—which shifted momentum. This is cast as part of a pattern for Lamar in critical games.
- Notable quote:
  
  “Why do we have to pretend what is obviously true is not?... From day one he has been a guy who in the postseason or in these instances, now when he sees Patrick across the field, plays his worst football.”
  — Nick Wright (25:32)
- Damanze (a Ravens fan) reluctantly agrees:
  
  “It’s every single time… I think it’s a mental thing. He’s… not up and spry… like I see him in other games. It is a little disheartening.” (29:05)
- Coaching Critique: Nick questions Baltimore’s playcalling, especially the underuse of Derrick Henry, suggesting the Ravens try to “prove a point” with Lamar that backfires.
Outlook:
- Chiefs haven’t solved everything (“RB room leaves a lot to be desired”), but they're in control. Ravens’ postseason ceiling in doubt.
- Quote:
  
  “I don’t think KC is fully fixed, but I think KC has now fully steadied themselves." (31:50)

Cowboys & Packers: 40–40 Tie — Missed Opportunities & Overtime Debates

Packers’ Late-Game Woes, Dallas’ Missed Potential (41:17–48:53)

Cowboys/Packers tie at 40–40 after a dramatic overtime.
Dak Prescott “playing out of his mind” even without CeeDee Lamb, but Dallas’ defense (without Micah Parsons resolved) is a huge missed opportunity.
- Quote:
  
  “If we had just gotten this worked out with Micah… we’d be a real team… a problem for teams.” (43:49)
Packers’ late-game clock mismanagement and Jordan Love’s shaky decision-making exposed.
Nick critiques LaFleur’s endgame conservatism and wonders if Green Bay “was OK with a tie” when a win was crucial for playoff seeding.

Overtime Rule Hot Take (48:53–51:11)

Nick is against longer overtime or removing ties; would support eliminating regular season OT altogether:
- Quote:
  
  “The goal is to win in regulation, and if you don’t win in regulation, it’s a tie. Deal with it.” (49:28)

Eagles: Unconvincing Undefeated Run and Locker Room Issues

Philadelphia’s Flaws, Brown’s Frustration (51:11–56:58)

Still undefeated at 4–0, but issues abound: erratic offensive halves (“two worst passing halves of the NFL season”) and “weird vibes” as A.J. Brown tweets cryptically.
Saquon Barkley’s underwhelming production (from 5.8 YPC last year to 3.1) flagged as a concern.
- Quote:
  
  “They just can’t play a normal game… one of the very best players on their team is clearly unhappy.” (51:36)
Nick recommends experimenting in live games for flexibility later in the season, as previous Chiefs’ teams did.

Injury News: Tyreek Hill’s Catastrophic Knee

Tyreek’s Place in NFL History (68:47–73:42)

Tyreek Hill suffers likely season—potentially career—ending knee dislocation.
Nick criticizes insensitive online reactions, then celebrates Hill’s legacy:
- Quote:
  
  “Tyreek Hill, the football player, is quite simply one of the greatest receivers any of us have ever seen. That is not an overstatement.” (70:22)
- Considers Hill a first-ballot Hall of Famer even if he never returns.

Other Week 4 Rapid Reactions

Around the NFL—Concise Game Takeaways

Jaguars 3–1, stifling Purdy and the Niners:
- Jags’ defensive improvement credited: “They have 13 takeaways through four games—they had nine all last year.” (65:38)
Seahawks 23–20 over Cardinals:
- Sam Darnold praised for surprisingly upgrading at QB: “That has not been a downgrade… It’s been an upgrade.” (75:45)
Steelers 24–21 over Vikings:
- Rodgers’ quick-passing efficiency, Wentz’s struggles.
Giants upset Chargers 21–18:
- Terrible run/pass balance and concerning injuries for the Bolts.
Bills 31–19 over Saints (not impressive):
- D reflects ongoing defensive issues despite wins.
Falcons, Texans, Patriots, Lions, Rams, Bears, Broncos:
- Each game gets a punchy breakdown, like “Drake Maye’s playing ball,” “Patriots have the softest schedule,” and “Giants’ turf strikes again” (re: Malik Nabers injury).

Final Thoughts / Episode Tone

Nick is fiery, sarcastic, and statistical as always—pushing back hard on conventional sports media narratives and offering “macro” interpretations. Damanze serves as a measured counterpoint, speaking for invested fans’ emotional rollercoaster. The tone is candid, occasionally exasperated, deeply informed, and never afraid to call out what Nick sees as “dishonest” analysis or missed context.

Nick Wright (7:45)

Listen, I they studied themselves and the 02 start. What they had to do was beat the Giants. That was an ugly game that obviously turned on the tackle that turned the tide and then they had to go take care of business against the Ravens. And take care of business they did. And not shockingly the moment the Chiefs had close to a competent receiving core. The offense looked good again the the last and we don't have to do this full history in depth, but it is worth mentioning that the Chiefs traded away Tyree Kill Mahomes snap in an off season changed the way he played based on the receivers. They had one league mvp. The very next year dealt with more drops than any quarterback literally in modern NFL history. Figured it out by the playoffs, won the super bowl the next year, dealt with the most injured wide receiver and running back room in the NFL, got all the way to the super bowl. And the next year, which was this year, walked into the season with his number one receiver suspended for six games and his number two receiver knocked out of game one. Three plays in and it looked shaky for a bit. And I told you guys that I knew real like I guess insight that that Chargers Week 1 game plan, Xavier Worthy was the epicenter of it and him being knocked out three plays in threw everything off but this. The fatalism surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media was and I don't want to be a scold and I don't want to be more annoying than I naturally am, but it was embarrassing and it was so fickle and so myopic. Myopic, pardon me, as if they don't have a Hall of Fame head coach, a Hall of Fame caliber D coordinator and the most talented quarterback to ever live that they couldn't figure it out. And it was as if they were getting boat raced in these early games or as if they were playing terrible teams and losing. Neither were true. Now I want to make this clear. I don't think the Chiefs are, you know, quote fully back. If back means being the highest scoring team in the league, I don't think that's who they're going to be. I don't think the Chiefs have solved all their issues. I still think the running back room leaves a lot to be desired and their ability to get pressure on the opposing quarterback without sending a blitz at the moment leaves a lot to be desired. But you looked if you going into the Baltimore game, if you looked around the afc, the only team that really you could say had no holes to poke at it was the Chargers going into week four. But they already were dealing with some potentially mounting injuries that sadly they dealt with more of during week four in a game they had no business losing but lost. And so the Bills were undefeated, but the Bills defense had looked shaky and they, they had and have played three consecutive games against just bottom feeders. The Ravens were given this huge benefit of the doubt despite having the same record as the Chiefs and then every other team that had a good record like the Steelers or the Jags, you had real reason to be concerned about.

Nick Wright (12:14)

I think it's been almost identical. Okay, so, like, they played each other. So if we want to call, like, I so call the Chiefs Ravens game, you know, a wash, so to speak. The Ravens played the Browns. The Chiefs played the Giants, which is the Giant. I think the Giants are better than the Browns, but the Browns have a better defense. You know what I mean? Call that a wash. And then the Ravens played the Bills. The Chiefs played the Eagles. The Ravens play. Or I guess we could do Bills, Chargers, Eagles, Lions. You know what I mean? Like, I think the Bills are a little better than the Chargers, but I think the Eagles are a little better than the Lions. So to me, it's very, very similar. Like, as far as what the opening slate was. Now, you could argue the Chiefs Ravens game being in Kansas City, like, the Ravens having to go on the road for that tilts it. But the other piece of it that was maddening to me and has been even more maddening in the after. There have been two things that have happened in the aftermath of this game that really drive me crazy. And I had kind of a rough moment near the end of yesterday's show on TV with Wilds. Yesterday, I'll apologize to him when I see him today. It's not really the tone of our show, but I got. I got angry when I shouldn't have the. And I mean, I don't think he took it, like, terribly. Like, I think he might be surprised when I apologize to him, but maybe not. But. But it. Two things have happened that to me are so frustrating. The first one is, I understand the Ravens during the game lost Roquan Smith and late in the game lost Humphrey, and once the game was over, over, over lost Nate Wiggins. But they went into the game missing four starters every. And the defense already had been bad all year. Everyone knew that and picked them. That's fine, by the way. Like, you can pick whoever you want. And I'm not acting like that game was a lock for the. The way it played out, the Chiefs had full control. But, you know, something goes differently. Maybe not, but to know the team has those injuries going in and then afterwards be like, wow, of course Kansas City did that. Look at all the injuries on defense. It's just bullshit. It's the. If. If your handicap going into the game was. I think the Ravens at full strength are better, but they're not full strength. Therefore, I think the Chiefs will win. And then you see that game, you're like, yeah, that's what I thought. So be it. But that wasn't anyone's handicap. The handicap was even with the Ravens defensive injuries, the Chiefs offense with Patrick freaking Mahomes on it and Andy Reid calling the plays is so broken that they're not going to be able to move the ball.

And the other thing that frustrated me had nothing to do with Brewer Wilds, but it had to do with me listening to Simmons Pod as I do every Monday morning, listening to Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily Pod as I do every day, listening to, you know, a lot of them, watching the Monday morning shows and all of it. And I was like, I could not believe that I was going to once again have to be, I guess, the bad guy. In pointing out the obvious fact that this game turned on a totally predictable yet inexplicable horrific Lamar pick. And the the Ravens were up seven to three with the ball on first down around midfield, and Lamar reach pedaled backwards and then threw up a prayer for no reason whatsoever. A guy who has and again, people can be mad at me, but here are the facts of it and every year people get mad at me and then every year we get another piece of evidence that I'm stone right about this. And then every year I have to listen to folks stick their fingers in the ears and be like, nope, actually wrong. Lamar is the greatest passer of the football we've ever seen, is the highest passer rating ever, turns the ball over. And all the big game playoffs games against the chief stuff is just dumb random luck. In the last 30 games Lamar has played, he has multiple turnovers in three of them. The AFC Championship game against Kansas City, the divisional round against Buffalo, and Sunday against Kansas City. I guess that's a coincidence. In the last 30 games Lamar is played, he has thrown seven interceptions, which is remarkable that he's only thrown seven. He had like a 50 to 4 touchdown interception ratio. You know, in the stretch you move the playoffs. It was crazy. The interceptions are as follows. Four regular season interceptions prior to yet Sunday, three of which we played the video, hit his receiver in the hands and then either got like bobbled or stolen. One of which Bateman just stopped running his route. But four passes that did not need to be picked. The only three in the last 30 games. The only three interceptions Lamar has thrown where it's like, what the hell was that AFC championship game into triple coverage in the fourth quarter against Kansas City, divisional round game early against B against Buffalo, and the one Sunday he also in those three games had inexplicable fumbles out of nowhere. To pretend like that is coincidental when we once again saw Lamar throwing his helmet out of Sorts. It's just dishonest. And I know Bill Polian was mean in his commentary towards the guy eight years ago. And I know some of the worst actors in media, sports or otherwise tried to pigeonhole him as a wide receiver in a pretty nakedly, at times racist way. I get that and I understand because of that there has been a, almost protectionism and a want for folks to see him succeed at the highest level. I don't disagree with that. But why do we have to pretend what is obviously true is not. Why do we have to pretend that this is a unique thing we haven't seen across sports our whole lives? The all time great legendary player who sadly gets tight in his biggest spots and plays his worst in his biggest moments. That's part of sports, man. And nobody was going back and taking away Peyton Manning's MVPs in his records because he struggled massively in the biggest spot. But we weren't pretending it was coincidental either. Talked about the Peyton Manning face, talked about how he got anxious, talked about how his brother was like the bizarro version of him, a wholly mediocre player for giant expanses of his career who somehow in the biggest spots played his absolute best. And for some reason with Lamar, we got to pretend it's not happening. I gotta, and listen, I, I, I don't know this guy, but I think he does good work. I think he's a smart commentator. But I Deontay Lee at the ringer, I before the Lamar fumble, I tweeted, lamar is basically gone two years without making that this was on the pick, without making that exact type of mistake. Except for in the 23 AFC championship game, the 24 divisional round, and just, just now against Kansas City. Probably a coincidence. And Deontay Lee quote tweets and right. Nobody can identify the intrinsic traits of a winner and loser like Nick Wright. He is the seer. It's like, no, bro, I'm not, I'm not trying to tell you, I'm not trying to act like I look in a guy's eyes and can determine whether he has the it factor. I'm just trying to act like I've watched this guy's whole fucking career and from day one, he has been a guy who in the postseason or in these instances now when he sees Patrick across the field, plays his worst football. And we can act like it's a small sample, but he's played the Chiefs seven times. He's played, I think, 10 playoff games. Like it's not a small sample. And I My frustration is. And again. So this is the other thing. Damanze and this is what I'll say before we keep it moving and maybe Damante, you'll tell me this is unfair. I don't think if I'm a Ravens fan, I don't think the thing that I came out of that game most disheartened about was the defense. And the reason for that is obviously, if the defense is this bad, they are drawing debt. You know what I mean? They can't have the worst defense in football. But what to me was so disheartening about it, if you're a Ravens fan, is you're now going to have in the back of your head. Even if we get the defense fixed by. When we get to these moments against Josh or Patrick, are we getting MVP Lamar, or are we getting throwing his head back, slamming the helmet, taking terrible sacks, throwing off his back foot. Lamar, I. That to me is the concern.

Nick Wright (34:23)

I wouldn't worry about the fumbles. I just don't know why they didn't give him the ball more. It was just so weird to me that they wouldn't give him the ball more. He had, I think four carries for 31 yards on the opening drive. Yeah. And. And so listen, I, I'm not ready to do Harbaugh hot seat, especially because here's the other thing. I still think they're going to win the AFC North Demons. A. The Bengals are a mess. The. The Browns have the worst offense in the league outside of maybe Tennessee. And I don't. I don't trust Pittsburgh yet. Now, I thought they were going to lose. Like I was wrong about Pittsburgh Sunday morning. If so, let me put it like this. I think right now, 10 wins still wins Baltimore, the AFC north, and I obviously think they can get to 10 wins. They would have to go nine and four the rest of the way and I expect them to definitely be able to do that. Now, if Pittsburgh really gets rolling, maybe I'll adjust. But I wouldn't panic about missing the playoffs on Baltimore. I just panic about what have I seen this year that makes me feel like I'm a real contender? And my answer to that question is nothing.

Nick Wright (51:36)

So they just can't play a normal game. I give them a listen. They have an excellent team and you know, they last two weeks ago they block a field goal to win a game. This week they get the game going with a blocked punt. You know what I mean? Like I in a block punt, touchdown. It's really impressive. But two weeks ago they had negative passing yards in the first half and then were excellent the second half. This week they were excellent in the first half and then zero completions in the second half and they just can't. And AJ Brown is tweeting, you know, passive aggressive scripture. He's not happy. It's, it's now they've had a brutal schedule and they're 4 0. They played the Cowboys, the Chiefs, the Rams, the Bucks. So I, I, I'm not negging the Eagles here. I do think that they, I called them the Chiefs of last year last week where I'm like, you're undefeated but everybody's nitpicking you. I now would recommend the Eagles take a page out of the Chiefs of two years ago book. When, if you remember when the Chiefs were the defending champs and they were having some struggles during the year and I brushed it off with their practicing. I was like, they are working on things so they are malleable during the games. So they are malleable late in the year and can beat you a bunch of different ways. And then I was proven exactly correct. I think that might be worthwhile for Philadelphia. It might be worthwhile to use some of these games to be like, hey, let's have the purpose of this game for AJ Brown to leave it happy. Let's, let's draw up some in breaking over the middle routes where he never gets thrown the ball and see if, see what it looks like, see if Jalen can be more reliable as a pure drop back passer. Just so we have that club in our bag. It is because right now they are just playing weird games with weird vibes afterwards because one of the very best players on their team is clearly unhappy. And. And the other piece of it is Saquon is not nearly as effective this year as he was last year. Now, maybe that changes, but we're a quarter of the way through, and he's 3.1 yards per carry. He's gone for 60, 88, 46, and 43 in these games. He has 70 total receiving yards. And this is coming off one of the greatest years. Last year, he averaged a Monza 5.8 yards per carry. This year, he's averaging barely half that at 3.1. Like that is. That's a real, I don't want to say concern, but it's something to look at if you need to figure out, okay, if he's not dominant, what are other ways we can beat you? And so listen, Philly, they're the defending champs. They've won 20 out of 21 games or 19 out of 20 games. They've won in a bunch of different ways. I have a ton of respect for it, and I got to give Sirianni credit begrudgingly, but they're trying to get through 20 games here and. Right. And you can't have. In two weeks, like, the two of the entire league, 32 teams have played four games. So that's 128, you know, games, two halves a game. So there's been 256 halves of football played in the NFL this year. The two worst passing halves of the 256 were the first half by Philadelphia two weeks ago and the second half by Philadelphia two days ago. That's weird. And I'm not even, like, banging on jail in here or anything. It's just weird. And I don't know. I don't think they can ignore it just because they've been winning. All right, what else do we got?

Nick Wright (57:04)

Maybe. Maybe just Baker. And I do understand some of the Eagle fans being frustrated, like, do the taunting rules not apply to this guy? But that's just Baker. There's a little bit of, like, the Draymond effect of, oh, he does this the entire game and always. So the refs get a little, you know, numb to it. But speaking of Baker, it's a perfect segue to our brand new sponsored segment, College Football's Walk on Mount Rushmore, presented by Chad Powers, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney plus for bundle subscribers. Each of the next four weeks, I'll be revealing my Mount Rushmore of college football walk ons paying tribute to the legends who started with no scholarship, no spotlight and still carved out unforgettable careers like you are going to see Chad Powers hopefully do on the new show on Hulu and Hulu on Disney plus again I've gotten a sneak preview of the show. It's really fun and we'll talk more about that later. But the first person on the Mount Rushmore of walk ons is of course Baker Mayfield who took being a walk on twice to two time being the Big 12 Offensive Player of the year, was an All American, won the Heisman. He walked on at Texas Tech and you know, found, fought his way and got a starting job but that wasn't enough for him. He then walked on at Oklahoma and had truly a record setting college career. He left college at the time with the highest passer rating ever. His first year at Oklahoma, 36 touchdowns, seven picks in fourth in the Heisman voting. His second year at Oklahoma, 40 touchdowns, eight picks, completed 71% of his passes, third in the Heisman voting and his final year at Oklahoma, 43 touchdowns, six picks again over 70% completions, first in the Heisman voting, won the one, the Maxwell Award, won the Walter Camp Award, the whole nine. And he had to walk on everywhere and now he's kind of been a walk on in the NFL. Had to walk on with the Bucks, kind of fight with Kyle Trask for his job and has just been, you know, turned himself into a great, great player. So the first up in the walk on Mount Rushmore brought to you by Chad Powers now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney plus is Baker Mayfield. Make sure to check out Chad Powers new episode streaming every Tuesday on Hulu and Hulu on Disney plus for bundle subscribers.

Nick Wright (69:22)

Right? That's the thing. Like, I don't know what that will do to his ability to be an impactful player. And so it does feel at least kind of appropriate to at least look at if this is it for Tyree Kill, which it might be. Tyree Kill, the football player is quite simply one of the greatest receivers any of us have ever seen. And that is not an overstatement. The only the only receivers I'm. I'm going to try to do this off the top of my head, but I want to just pull up like all time receiving touchdowns just to make sure I'm not forgetting anybody, you know, obvious. I'm trying to think the only receivers that without a shadow of a doubt, you know, I feel I'd rather have than Tyreek Moss, Jerry Rice are. You know what? That's the list for me. I'm not saying he's the third greatest receiver ever and in fact he definitionally isn't. You know, because at this, you know, didn't play long enough and all, you know, all of that. But as far as guys that hands down were better than him, the only guys that I can say were hands down better than Tyreek for me are Moss and Jerry Rice. Now Megatron to those guys you can obviously make a very strong case were better than him. I don't know if I agree with that case. I. Tyreek was such a dynamic, indefensible weapon that I just. If you want, if you believe he's one of the five greatest receivers of all time, I think that's a legitimate opinion. Didn't have one. If it is over for him. And again I it's crazy we're talking about this, but you have it's on the board. It's over. Obviously didn't have one of the five greatest careers of all time. Like my old co host my pal Chris Carter had a better career than Tyreek. Marvin Harrison and Larry Fitzgerald had better careers than Tyreek. But as far as guys who I would rather have, I think it's Moss Rice to's tough. TTO was as great as to was his peak was not Tyreek's peak. This guy is a five time first team all pro and is receiving yards after his rookie year ago. 1200, 1500, 800. He's injured. 1200, 1200. And then leaves Kansas City and goes 1700, 1800. And in the playoffs he was. I mean he averaged, averaged 80 yards per game in the postseason with seven postseason touchdowns, eight postseason touchdowns. I.
