Chiefs–Ravens: Baltimore gets smoked, Lamar exits in Q3 with an alleged hamstring injury and the “quit” talk starts; Mahomes dealt the ball all game while Ravens defenders dropped like flies.
Eagles–Bucs: Philly found a way late—Sirianni’s culture travels. Still a statement from Baker taking them to the wire without WR Mike Evans.

QB stock up, stock down. We open with the Bears & Caleb Williams torching Dallas—were we too early to write off this coach-QB marriage? Two first-win speeches, two cultures between Dallas Cowboys DC Eberflus and Chicago Bears HC Ben Johnson

- SNF: Chiefs smash the Giants—Mahomes the gamer, Russ rough, and fans chanting for rookie Jaxson Dart.

College Coaching Panic Meter + CFP Paths + NFL Divisional Rankings | Ep.12819 Sep 202500:47:05

Send us a text

College football heat check. We open with the impossible job of keeping fanbases happy—why every presser is a referendum and what Brian Kelly did (and didn’t) say. We handicap current CFP paths, circle this week’s must-watch matchups, and stare down the Oregon–Oregon State “Civil War” with a historic spread and a first-year HC (Trent Bray) who isn’t exactly radiating swagger.

Then to the NFL: the Bills smack the Dolphins, Miami falls to 0–3, and Josh Allen becomes the fastest QB to 300 TDs—so… are “wins” a QB stat or not? We stack divisions by quarterback strength and check in on Caleb Williams: progress is real, but why hasn’t Ben Johnson’s public praise matched the hype—and how are Bears fans coping with that gap?

Drop your CFP four, the best QB division, and your stance on the “wins aren’t a QB stat” debate below.

The New ELITE QB Tier: Baker’s MVP Case + Herbert’s Leap | Ep. 12717 Sep 202500:45:45

Send us a text

Baker Mayfield keeps closing games like a psycho—leading the NFL in 4th-quarter TDs since ’23—and we break down why his late-game traits travel. 

Then we ask: is Justin Herbert turning into the Josh Allen 2.0 — a true “lab-made” QB finally moving the needle? 

Plus: JJ McCarthy’s injury (and why a reset helps), Carson Wentz’s return, the most surprising 2–0/0–2 teams, a quick power-ranking check, and what’s really going on with Mahomes’ two-year dip.
