Max and Shady break down the Chiefs' 30-27 win in Las Vegas and whether a healthy Patrick Mahomes, with reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III behind him, makes Kansas City the team to beat again. Plus: The Giants grab sole possession of first place for the first time since 2015, Howie Roseman's Eagles stall without Jeff Stoutland, and Max talks Shady through the Brock Purdy game. Is Purdy a product of Kyle Shanahan's system, or is he simply a winning quarterback? The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Was Terrell Owens the most unfairly covered star of his era? Max and T.O. take it on directly, years after T.O. told Stephen A. on First Take that Max "almost seems blacker than you." T.O. goes after Skip Bayless and the pundits who repeated his story, and he still says nobody has ever heard a teammate back it up. Then come the stories only T.O. can tell: signing a waiver to play Super Bowl XXXIX on a broken leg, and his lack of regret for skipping Canton. Plus: T.O.'s message to Deshaun Watson, the Week 4 slate, and Max's advice to C.J. Stroud: take the $50 million. So ... who's the best receiver in the NFL right now?

Max and Shady break down the Broncos' comeback against the Rams and the pass interference call that Pat Bryant admits he sold. Then they ask whether Denver can win a title with Bo Nix. Lamar Jackson needed only seven seconds to punish Dallas in Rio, Aaron Rodgers looks anything but finished for Mike McCarthy, and Max goes against the grain to defend Drake Maye. Plus: The Giants land J.J. McCarthy, Jalen Brunson's 'SNL' moment, and whether anyone still cares about Yankees–Red Sox in October. And is the backup quarterback now the second-most important player on an NFL roster?Try ZipRecruiter FOR FREE at ziprecruiter.com/GAMEOVER Have a question? Leave us a voicemail at 424-240-8341.

Damien Woody joins Max to break down Bijan Robinson's 194-yard demolition of the Packers in Michael Penix Jr.'s return from a torn ACL.

Max and Rich went to Giants-Rams together, only for Max to push back his call that Jaxson Dart would be an elite quarterback by the end of the season after Dart's knee injury on the opening drive. They debate whether the Giants should trade for Shedeur Sanders or Mitch Trubisky and—given that Caleb Williams also went down (with a hamstring injury)—discuss why every NFL team now needs two quarterbacks who can win. Plus: Rich on why Tyrese Haliburton is right to fly Southwest on a $244 million deal and a debate over the best rap duos ever. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Max and LeSean "Shady" McCoy break down the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans behind Ja'Marr Chase's two-touchdown day and dig into Patrick Mahomes—working back from a torn ACL and LCL—as still the best player alive rather than a guy on the decline. Plus: Aaron Donald ends a two-and-a-half-year retirement to walk back into the Rams' building just as Myles Garrett heads to IR for knee surgery and just before Monday's game against Jaxson Dart and the Giants. The guys also get into an all-time QB debate sparked by the Brady-Montana argument: Would either of them have made it back from what just put Mahomes on the shelf? Have a question?

 Max and Rich break down the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions in their new stadium and dig into Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars as a real AFC contender rather than a dark horse. Plus: the Vikings' QB room is a bigger mess than JJ McCarthy alone (Darnold's gone, Murray's hurt, Wentz won the opener off the bench), and an all-time NBA debate sparked by Tracy McGrady's own words — would the Lakers have three-peated with him instead of Kobe?

Rich is on vacation, so today Max is joined by Ringer favorite Van Lathan Jr. They kick off the show with the Clippers' groundbreaking punishment and what it means for the future of the franchise.

Max and Rich kick off with some hot takes in the cold open, talking about private equity in professional sports leagues before getting into the news taking over the NFL with Aaron Donald coming back to the Rams. They get into whether this will make the Rams Super Bowl favorites. And if they do lift the Lombardi at the end of the season, will Matt Stafford be a top-five all-time QB? Then, they talk a little bit of Giants, with OBJ making the 53-man roster, before breaking down the 49ers scammer. Is ever too hot to go to a football game? USC fans seem to think so; they discuss if Trojan fans should have braved the L.A. heatwave before chatting about Red Sox fans complaining about a call in a blowout game.

We kick off the show by reacting to a debate that Draymond Green sparked about whether a regular-season MVP or a championship-winning first option matters more, using Jalen Brunson's and SGA's playoff runs against the Spurs as a real-world test case.
