TRANSKRIPT 🔗
00:00:00
Speaker 1: New England Patriots head to the Windy City on a three-game win streak. Slow start in the rearview mirror, looking again like a team that can dance late into January.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: Smith goes to his reads, puts some touch under that pass, and it's picked off!
00:00:15
Speaker 1: What a TNF game we're being treated to. The Iceman is back for Chicago, and boy did he look icy in his return.
00:00:22
Speaker 3: Steps away, looking, throwing across his body, and it's held on to.
00:00:27
Speaker 1: Uncle Case and Tyson can return to holding Caleb's beer, as it should be. Williams returned from his hamstring injury, showed no signs of any lingering issues. Smoke coming off many of his throws, scrambled around like normal, hung over 300 yards on Atlanta, healthy 8.5 yards per attempt, rating over 110. Chicago's offense, notching 31 points, could have been 38th. back to looking like an O that's going to be tough to slow.
00:00:56
Speaker 3: Williams stands in, fires a strike to Odunze. A dart.
00:01:01
Speaker 1: What makes this matchup special? The QB pairing. And Drake May is coming in cooking. Three TDs versus New York last week. No INTs. Three plus TDs in his last three straight.
00:01:12
Speaker 3: Going to take his shot towards the end zone. And it is caught.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: With May's resurgence, a resurgent pass offense. 26 points last week. so 26-plus and three straight.
00:01:24
Speaker 3: Touchdown!
00:01:25
Speaker 2: Perfect pass protection, and May picks them apart again.
00:01:29
Speaker 1: May's line has been keeping him on two feet most of the time in their last three, hasn't been sacked twice in a game in that span, not once on 32 pass attempts versus the Jets. However, they saw three starters leave hurt last weekend, so track the injury report, and now here comes a Bears pass rush that's been showing some teeth more recently. They blew up Michael Penix five times. No Montez Sweat, no problem. They got cornerback Kyler Gordon back, who blitzed his way to a sack trick in his first game of the year. Forced two fumbles.
00:02:03
Speaker 3: Third and long, pressure again. Gordon with the hit on Penix! Ball's loose!
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Defense, May and company are facing, held Atlanta to 23 points, just 3-for-12 on 3rd down. Did give up 16 in the fourth quarter to make Bear Down a little nervous, but they've held four of their last five opponents under 24. Secondary May is staring at is still on shaky ground. They gave up three TDs to Pennix, a plus 100 rate, no INTs. That, after getting torched by Jordan Love the week before. 60 yards, two touchdowns allowed to Kyle Pitts. 62 yards given up to Drake London. gave up 87 yards and a touchdown to Jahan Dotson. Patriots got A.J. Brown back, led the team with 10 targets, only 27 yards. Romeo Dobbs caught a 42-yard TD, but now he's on IR. Tight end, Hunter Henry scored 48 yards. Demario Douglas, only guy coming in off a 50-plus yard game, 86 yards and a TD. has scored

back-to-back games, 65-plus yards in each.
00:03:09
Speaker 2: Scramble drill as they are out of timeouts. May, the fake, fires to the end zone.
00:03:13
Speaker 3: It's caught.
00:03:14
Speaker 1: New England got Travion Henderson back to 41 yards, 4.4 a run on seven attempts. Ramondre Stevenson only 2.6 a carry versus the Jets. Corey Kiner hit at 5.2 per, 57 yards, 11 attempts, so a nice 5.7 a run average. he's chipped in 50-plus yards back-to-back games.
00:03:34
Speaker 2: Bear's defense has been somewhat vulnerable down low. 4.5 yards per carry allowed for the season.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: Didn't give up many yards to Atlanta because they didn't run much, but 6.8 a carry allowed to Bijan, only faced nine of his attempts.
00:03:53
Speaker 3: Try to get Bijan Robinson on his horse. Like that! Upended, but man, is he fast.
00:03:59
Speaker 1: So, on to the rest of Chicago's offense. They didn't have Kyle Menungai last week, turf toe, so hard to know when he's back. Roshon Johnson filled in as the second head to their attack. Neither him or DeAndre Swift cracked for a carry. they did account for three rushing TDs at least.
00:04:16
Speaker 4: They won't shy away from toking it up either, not when they see New England gave up 4.6 a carry to Braylon Allen on 17 attempts, 78 yards.
00:04:21
Speaker 1: Holding backs to 4-1 per try big picture though. Caleb takes on a pass rush that blitzes close to 40% of the time. Average team sends five plus 32% of the time for perspective. They got to Geno Smith three times, have 14 now over six games. Look out for Elijah Ponder. One sack last week, now has five and a half for 2026.
00:05:00
Speaker 3: All by himself for Ponder in the big sack. Boy, has he been heating up or what?
00:05:04
Speaker 1: Christian Barrymore, Milton Williams, the other two bags last week. And it was those big, beefy types who ate up Williams week six. He took four sacks on his 36 pass attempts, three of the four allowed by interior linemen. Guard Joe Tooney gave up two per NextGenStats.
00:05:20
Speaker 3: Williams pressured late, and now he's going to go down.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: The aerial battle on this side. Kalief Raymond, only 18 yards versus the Falcons. Zabion Thomas, 25. Swift and Roshan combined for 60. Romo Dunzey, 39, Colston Loveland with a great TD catch, 65 yards, 55 plus in two of his last three, so starting to pop a little after a slow first three weeks.
00:05:46
Speaker 3: Quick, they get it outside. Loveland has a couple blocks. Loveland is tackled inside the two.
00:05:51
Speaker 1: And Luther Burden caught all eight of his targets, season-high 95 yards. He's their leading receiver. 60-plus yards in four of six games now.
00:06:00
Speaker 5: Wide open, it's Burton. First down and more, and he's such a twitchy receiver.
00:06:06
Speaker 1: Safety Craig Woodson allowed the TD and 80 yards. New England's secondary gave up over 250 yards to Smith, over eight yards per attempt. Picked him off, though, to hold him under a
90 rate. Their day versus Geno, kind of in line with their body of work so far against the pass.
00:06:23
Speaker 3: Rolls out, going to fire up the seam. It is cut.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: Bears, you are the latest contestant on These Flags Are For You. Saw the yellow fly against them 12 times versus Atlanta. Going to end the season with some seriously buff zebras. Finally, a crowd the Saints can play in front of that gets their logo. Aside from the fans they play in front of in New Orleans, of course, packing their bags to visit the home of Pepe Le Pew, Inspector Clouseau, and his buddy Juju. First ever game in France, and the Saints are flying in in a good mood.
00:06:59
Speaker 6: Padding the feet, running out of time, a duck to the end zone incomplete.
00:07:04
Speaker 1: Steelers meeting them there, not riding in with coconuts. The swallow may fly south with the sun, so maybe that's how they're going to get dropped off there. And they too are in good spirits after climbing to 4-2.
00:07:16
Speaker 3: Rogers gets it out quickly. Bernard stretching, touchdown!
00:07:21
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting coconuts migrate either. Not sure if Aaron Rodgers will have to deal with that French guard at the top of that one castle, but he comes off a game that saw him throw a game-winning overtime touchdown, has thrown two to three TDs in four straight games now, Pittsburgh clicking for 24-plus points in four straight. 26 versus Tampa Bay.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: Rogers pulls it. Washington's wide open and it's a touchdown.
00:07:46
Speaker 1: Can be better. Only five for 15 on third down. Left points on the board half the time they were in the red zone. But New Orleans secondary and defense overall, the kind Pittsburgh could tidy up against. Almost blew a 24-point lead versus New York. Gave up 27 points. Only one team allowing more points per game.
00:08:05
Speaker 6: End zone for Likely, and this game has turned around quite quickly.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: Saints secondary Rogers Faces gave up 395 yards to New York's quarterbacks. They don't sport good digits versus the pass for the year. Luckily, they faced Jameis Winston for a large portion of the game last week, picked him off twice, stopped J.J. McCarthy on the last play to seal it, and picked him off once, too. Three INT games are still three INT games.
00:08:34
Speaker 6: For New Orleans defense, oh, Jameis Winston delivers it right to Martin Emerson Jr.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Their DBs gave up 66 yards to Charlie Jones, 99 yards and a touchdown to tight end Isaiah Likely, 165 yards to Malik Neighbors. Cornerback Quincy Riley allowed 80 yards. He's given up the most yards on the team this season. Now here comes DK Metcalf, 93 yards versus Tampa, 90-plus in two of his last three.
00:09:02
Speaker 3: Completes it to Metcalf, down the sideline.
00:09:05
Speaker 7: Well, DK Metcalf has awoke. They're waking up Godzilla out here on the edge.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: Rookie Jeremy Bernard, with 80-plus yards back-to-back
games, after checking out with a season-high 87 last week, scored his first NFL TD.
00:09:17
Speaker 8: For a young receiver to have this chemistry, this seems like Aaron Rodgers' most trusted weapon.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: Rodgers did take five sacks in their win. Second time in his last three, he's taken that many too. Right tackle Max Iannaccior gave up two per NextGenStats, has now allowed a team high four overall.
00:09:35
Speaker 3: Rodgers trying to keep this one alive. Not this time. Tampa gets him to the crown.
00:09:40
Speaker 1: Saints pass rush. Track down Winston four times.
00:09:43
Speaker 3: J.J. once.
00:09:44
Speaker 1: Carl Granderson one and a half. Chase Young one and a half. He has five and a half for 2026 now. The team has 15 over six games.
00:09:53
Speaker 6: Comes an extra body for the Saints on pressure and it's going to lead to another stop.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: Saints have not been stout this the run. 4.8 yards per carry allowed to runners. Didn't face many running back attempts versus New York. Gave up a couple of 20 plus yard runs though. One, a wide receiver sweep and McCarthy took off on a broken play.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: Now he's going to take off. Up the middle of the field, J.J. McCarthy.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: Rodgers doesn't usually do that, and Jalen Warren cooled off after a huge week five, 3.6 a try week six, 50 yards. He had gone for 90 plus yards his previous three games. This game does have potential to be pretty entertaining for all our French friends. Saints can put up the points, 34 last week, their 25 point per game average, 10th highest, their second best in the red zone.
00:10:42
Speaker 6: It is Shuck, the push from Donaldson, and into the end zone, punches it in.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck hasn't piled up big yards his last two games, only 144 yards last week, but he threw three touchdowns without being intercepted, his third game this season with three or more TDs.
00:10:59
Speaker 6: Shuck for Olave and maybe a knockout punch here in the fourth quarter.
00:11:04
Speaker 1: Didn't take a single sack versus New York on 30 pass attempts, hasn't taken more than two in a game in four straight. He has to worry about TJ Watt this week, of course, but he wasn't in on any of Pittsburgh's four sacks last week. Jalen Ramsey blitzed his way to a pair. Nick Herbig with the other two, his first two of the year.
00:11:23
Speaker 9: Daniels buying time, doesn't see Herbig behind him. What a loss of seven on the play.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Steelers top 10 good in sacks. Their secondary has been top 10 good when it comes to rating allowed and completion percentage allowed. And they're holding quarterbacks to 6.1 yards per attempt after keeping Jalen Daniels to a meager 3.8 an attempt. Held him to 164 yards, a sub 50 rate. by picking him off twice.
00:11:49
Speaker 3: Daniels high pass and it is juggled. Did Everett get his feet in? He did.
00:11:55
Speaker 1: Steelers now holding it down to 21 points per game for 2026 after limiting Tampa Bay to 19, held them to 3.1 yards per play.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: That's elite.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: Six for 19 on third down.
00:12:07
Speaker 9: Daniels catches his own pass, and then he's thrown down by Benton.
00:12:12
Speaker 1: Their DBs didn't allow any Bucks to crack 50 yards. No Saint comes off a 50-plus yard game either. Juwan Johnson was shut out. Devon Vele, 42 yards. Chris Olave, 43 yards. He's been under 50 yards back-to-back games. He did at least score versus the G-men.
00:12:29
Speaker 6: Shock on the comeback for Olave against Deontay Banks held on.
00:12:33
Speaker 7: Wow, what a catch.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara caught a TD, 35 yards, ran for 34 yards on 4-9 a carry, his best showing so far. Kendre Miller went for 70 yards. The Saints with a fat 175 rush yards a week ago. Cincinnati Bengals hit the road for a big AFC North showdown, 3-2, looking to beat an above 500 team for the first time.
00:12:57
Speaker 3: Burrow, again, wants a bunch.
00:13:01
Speaker 6: Oh!
00:13:02
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, you're kidding!
00:13:04
Speaker 1: They are in Baltimore, who really would like Lamar back for this one. Snoop is fine here and there, but he's like a glass slipper. The magic doesn't last forever.
00:13:14
Speaker 5: Huntley, over the middle, deflected away. You saw Denzel Ward again.
00:13:21
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley, just 165 yards passing last week and only 5.3 yards per attempt versus Cleveland. Baltimore's offense, only 4.1 yards per play. Just six for 16 on third down Bengals defense lining up with a Ravens. Oh, that's put up 24 plus points in four of six, but we're only able to scratch out 10 points a week ago.
00:13:44
Speaker 5: And Henry fumbles a football. The ball is out at the 34 yard line. Henry coughs it up. It's Cleveland ball.
00:13:52
Speaker 1: Derek Henry's fourth quarter fumble set up Cleveland's tying score. And so did Madagascar Marty. Maybe man flock. I don't know what you guys did. But you have been on the other end of some painful, maybe some would argue questionable, laundry. But Henry, another game under 3-5 a carry. That's three in his last four. He hits this game off a season-low 58 yards.
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry again. Derrick Henry upended.
00:14:18
Speaker 5: Filling that hole was Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.
00:14:21
Speaker 1: Ravens get their first taste of the Bengals' 2026 defense, which, despite some hiccups, is still much improved compared to their 2025 version, holding three of five teams under 23 points for a nice 21-point-per-game average. They've been especially stingy inside the 20, too.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: Looking for help. Oh, no! Willis goes down!
00:14:44
Speaker 1: Giving up 24 to Miami ahead of the bye was slightly alarming, being they hadn't scored 14 in a game up to that point. Bengals have been pretty bad on third down, too, and they're giving up five a carry, which could be a problem versus Henry.
00:15:00
Speaker 10: Willis is going to have to
run for it, and he's got the first down and plenty more!
00:15:06
Speaker 1: Whoever Baltimore has at quarterback, looking at a group that's been tracking down QBs at a healthy rate, signed Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, and traded for Sexy Dexy this past offseason, how about three bags each? Bengals with 17 sacks, a robust 40% pressure rate, while blitzing less than any team in the league.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: Lost it! And that'll do it. Cincinnati jumps on the football.
00:15:33
Speaker 1: Lamar or Huntley, both sackable most games. Tyler took three in their loss to Cleveland, their season average a little over two a game. Bengals front doing battle with a beat-up O-line.
00:15:45
Speaker 3: Down, moving right, pressure comes down, he goes! At the 40, it's Isaiah McGuire.
00:15:49
Speaker 1: And Jackson faces a secondary holding quarterbacks to an 87 rating. corners dj turner dax hill dj ivy takario davis safeties jordan battle and brian cook holding passers to a nice low 62 completion rate.
00:16:04
Speaker 10: Ups up in the pocket pass was deflected passes picked off Cincinnati's got the first turnover of our game.
00:16:11
Speaker 3: It's Jordan Battle.
00:16:13
Speaker 1: Only Zay Flowers with a noteworthy week six. Only guy to check out with more than 50 yards receiving. Fairly common. Led the team with 66 versus the Browns.
00:16:22
Speaker 5: Third and 10 floating it out for Flowers with Swessinger in pursuit.
00:16:28
Speaker 3: And Zay Flowers.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: Ravens defense did their part last week. They have been for the last three games in general, holding Cleveland to 10 points and just four yards per play. Fewer than 24 points in three straight, no TDs allowed to Deshaun Watson, held him under 165 yards to a sub-80 rate, now holding passers to an 87 rating on the season.
00:16:50
Speaker 5: Floating it down the sideline, looking for Boston, who was well covered by Marlon Humphrey in its third down.
00:16:56
Speaker 1: And the pass rush Joe Burrell will be looking at comes off a five-bag shopping trip. gives them a respectable 15 for 2026.
00:17:04
Speaker 5: Pressured trying to get away spins out of contact still on his feet and down at the 45 yard line.
00:17:11
Speaker 1: Burrow hasn't been an easy dude to pester guard dalton reisner on the hook for a team high three sacks allowed but only nine sacks taken in five games overall and burrow hasn't been easy to pressure either.
00:17:23
Speaker 10: Time they fake the run burrow Takes it himself, has the first down.
00:17:29
Speaker 1: Ravens defense, getting down with a Bengals offense, averaging a respectable 25 points per game, haven't been great guests in Scott Hansen's house, but have excelled at moving the sticks.
00:17:40
Speaker 10: Pass is caught, close to the line to gain, and they're going to get it. He goes to Tanner Hudson, who's able to move the.
00:17:47
Speaker 1: Driving force behind their offense, of course, Joe Scheiste. Burrow hit their bye with 11 touchdowns, 3 INTs. Over 270 yards per game, a 100 plus rate, second highest completion percentage, hitting at a 71% clip.
00:18:03
Speaker 3: Burrow! That's caught, that's a touchdown! Cincinnati, Tanner Hudson!
00:18:09
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's most productive wide receiver so far has been Tee Higgins, 84 yards a game, 90 plus yards in three of five.
00:18:17
Speaker 10: Little dump down, pass is complete. That's the first catch for Tee Higgins.
00:18:21
Speaker 1: Jamar has gone for 70 plus yards in three of five, more TDs than Higgins scoring four times.
00:18:28
Speaker 8: Forget about 50-50 when you're throwing a Jamar chase, it's 80-20.
00:18:33
Speaker 1: Tight end Mike Gasicki matching his trips to the paint has scored in four of their five.
00:18:38
Speaker 3: Burrow, back of the end zone, touchdown!
00:18:42
Speaker 1: Bengals ground game in the hands of Chase Brown still.
00:18:45
Speaker 11: Some turnovers right there, beautiful by Chris Johnson, the nickel player.
00:18:49
Speaker 1: Slow start for CB as he's only averaging 3.5 a carry in just 49 yards per game. Ravens defense sitting at 3.8 yards per carry when it comes to the run, held Cleveland to 3.2 a carry, so Brown doesn't have an easy path to success this week.
00:19:04
Speaker 3: Field gets the toss and now wants to throw it himself.
00:19:07
Speaker 5: He finds nobody open, a common theme, and Concepcion just trying to make something out of it.
00:19:13
Speaker 1: Detroit at home in their den following a week off to rest. Big interdivision matchup with Green Bay. Lions trying to stitch back-to-back wins together for the first time. Get off the ping-pong kick they've been on.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: Third and ten. Golf will step up. He's looking deep.
00:19:28
Speaker 5: Williams is there. Jamison Williams. Touchdown Detroit.
00:19:33
Speaker 1: Packers roll into town on a three-game win streak. Love beating the Bears and Cowboys as part of it. Lions almost represent a chance to really know how good they are.
00:19:43
Speaker 4: Love sneaking it over the goal line in for the Green Bay touchdown.
00:19:48
Speaker 1: Packers only putting up 23 points. versus the Alice Cowboys, sort of in line with their general struggles to score so far in 2026. 21 points per game for the season, averaged 4.5 yards per play last week. The big statistical mismatch, though, features Jordan Love versus Detroit Secondary.
00:20:08
Speaker 4: Love contacted as he throws complete to Christian Watson.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: Love didn't have his best game last Sunday night. He was picked off, mid-70s rate, but Matthew Golden dropped a couple of passes that would have changed his stats, and he's been chucking it deep lately on the regular. 275-plus yards in three of his last four games, over 11 yards per completion in three of their last four. Christian Watson and Golden, the recipients of the Bombs.
00:20:37
Speaker 4: Perfect touch here. In stride, Matthew Golden. Inside the 10-yard line, first and goal, Green Bay.
00:20:44
Speaker 1: Despite the drops, Golden still scored and went for 100-plus yards. 100-plus yards in three of his last four, scores in three of the four. Watson, 64 yards last week. He was the only other Packer to finish with 40-plus yards, which is becoming the norm. Those two are Love's one-two punch.
00:21:04
Speaker 4: Who hits Love, but he got it to Golden first with a gain of 20 yards to Golden.
00:21:10
Speaker 1: Love gets a shot at one of the easiest secondaries to throw on, DJ Reed. 357 yards allowed, most allowed by any DB in the league after five weeks. Three touchdowns allowed, a 146 rating allowed. Cornerback Roger McCreary, two touchdowns, 297 yards allowed. Linebacker Jack Campbell, two touchdowns, 222 yards. Group allowing a 106 rating. close to 300 yards per game. No teams giving up more.
00:21:39
Speaker 3: Cardinals reset jump ball for McBride. Pulls it in. Does he keep his feet? And he does! Touchdown!
00:21:47
Speaker 1: Now, DB Brian Branch seemed close to returning before the Arizona game, so chance he's back for this game. They need any help they can get. Held Arizona to 21 points last time out. First game they've held anybody under 24. 29 points per game allowed. Not good on third down or in the red zone.
00:22:07
Speaker 6: Brissette in the end zone. Almost able to pull it in. Jalen Brooks against Roger McCreary.
00:22:12
Speaker 1: Detroit's front has been solid against the run. 4.2 yards per carry so far. Not elite, but not bad. And Love is looking at a pass rush that's found its way to the quarterback 20 times. No team with more sacks after five weeks. Aleem McNeil, 3.5. Aidan Hutchinson with 4.0. And how about DJ Wanham leading the way with five? Hutch may have found his star ski.
00:22:36
Speaker 5: All day, nobody open. Backside pressure comes and down he goes. DJ Wanham.
00:22:43
Speaker 1: Love did take three sacks in their win last week, two the week prior, and three and four in their first two games. So far, 13 total in six games.
00:22:53
Speaker 4: Cowboys picked up. Not the end of it, though. Love is brought down by Kenny Clark. So the former Packer.
00:23:00
Speaker 1: And once again, no run game to speak of for Green Bay's offense. 2.2 a carry, 57 yards, 2.9 a run for the season, no team worse. But Josh Jacobs has been cleared to play, so help is finally on the way. Now for another key matchup, Pack's defense gets to see if it's able to keep up the pace they've been on.
00:23:21
Speaker 4: Nothing open, Dax scrambles and fires incomplete.
00:23:25
Speaker 1: They've held three straight teams under 15 points. Say what you want about Dallas, but holding Dak, Pickens, Seedy, and company to 13 points and 4.3 yards per play is impressive. Holding the Lions, though, to anything like that would be more so. As expected, Detroit's offense has not been a problem. At least 26 points in every game, Green Bay's defense taking on a group Good for 32 a game, no team averaging more after five weeks. Elite in the red
zone, too.
00:23:55
Speaker 5: Goff soaring across the goal line for a Detroit touchdown.
00:24:00
Speaker 1: Pick your poison. Load up the box to try and contain Gibbs. Goff gets you. Don't stack the box, and Jameer will break off a chunky run on you, laying down a C-notes worth of rush yards per game so far at a 4-8 clip. Crossed the goal line with ball in hand seven times on handoffs.
00:24:19
Speaker 3: Bouncing. Oh, look at all the green to the outside.
00:24:22
Speaker 5: There's the touchdown again for Jameer Gibbs.
00:24:25
Speaker 1: Gibbs with two receiving touchdowns, too. 45 receiving yards per game. One of five guys Green Bay's defenders have to worry about when Jared lets it fly. Close to 300 yards per game, a 1-11 rate, 12 TDs, no INTs. You can make the case for a Gibbs-Goff shared MVP award if they both keep it up.
00:24:45
Speaker 3: Razzle dazzle all over the place.
00:24:46
Speaker 5: It gets back to Gibbs and Gibbs with blockers and space and Gibbs out of bounds.
00:24:52
Speaker 1: Green Bay comes off a 2-INT game of Prescott, held him to just 4.8 yards per attempt, a mid-60s rate. How about the third lowest rating allowed so far for the season, holding quarterbacks to under six yards per attempt now and to just 9.2 yards per completion?
00:25:09
Speaker 3: Prescott delivers in the middle. It's intercepted. Tried to squeeze it in. Couldn't do it. Evan Williams and the Packers.
00:25:15
Speaker 1: Their DBs gave up 73 yards to Pickens on 11 targets, 70 to Lamb, but it took 18 targets. Prescott threw 54 times. It was all volume. Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse with his best 2026 outing that included his first NFL INT.
00:25:33
Speaker 4: Prescott, man slips, Cisse picks. CeeDee Lamb fell down. Brandon Cisse.
00:25:40
Speaker 1: As you'd expect, Detroit's top receiving threat Amonra St. Brown leads the team in targets, catches, yards, and receiving touchdowns, scored five times, averaging close to 75 yards per game.
00:25:52
Speaker 5: With time, open is St. Brown at the 40. Amon Ross St. Brown out of bounds inside the Arizona 25.
00:26:00
Speaker 1: Detroit's wideout trio compliments each other the way the big three on what's happening did. Isaac Tesla, 37 yards per game. Jamo, 55 yards per game and two scores.
00:26:12
Speaker 5: Over the middle to the end zone, it's Jamison Williams.
00:26:17
Speaker 1: He's not built the same, but he's kind of their rerun. Tesla, hey, hey, hey, Dwayne.
00:26:22
Speaker 12: St.
00:26:22
Speaker 1: Brown, Raj, which would make Sam Laporta, surely, I guess, three touchdowns, 63 yards per game.
00:26:29
Speaker 3: Goff floating wide open.
00:26:31
Speaker 5: It's Sam Laporta, untouched for the touchdown.
00:26:35
Speaker 1: Gibbs can be D, being she's one of the greatest characters in TV history. Goff has taken 11 sacks, so more than two a game, but he hasn't faced much pressure. you wouldn't describe their pass protection as a problem. Pack's pass rush with 15 bags for the year, not bad. Only one of Dak though, and he threw 54 times. As for Gibbs, their front did handle the Cowboys' run game, held Javonte Williams to 41 yards on just 3.7 to carry, brought their season average down to four per run.
00:27:07
Speaker 13: And Lucas Van Ness, I know you thought if you just played two-hand touch like you did in the street when you were a kid, you wouldn't get flagged, but you.
00:27:18
Speaker 1: Must not have gotten the memo. See, we're putting new cover sheets on all our TPS reports. And touching the quarterback, even if you don't tackle him? Yeah, that's not legal either. I'll make sure you get another copy of that memo.
00:27:30
Speaker 3: Okay? Thanks.
00:27:32
Speaker 1: Green Bay hit with 11 flags in that win.
00:27:37
Speaker 3: There has been more contact and no late hit call on that.
00:27:44
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings at home after taking a couple of weeks off. Sorry, they played the Saints prior to their week of rest. That defense just makes every team seem like a bye week.
00:27:54
Speaker 7: They've just got a lot of guys that can do it for them.
00:27:57
Speaker 6: Uh-oh, Shuck throws it up for grabs, and that is the second pick of the day.
00:28:01
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts are up next, who face the task of trying to beat an unbeaten team a week after losing to a winless team.
00:28:10
Speaker 14: To the goal line, knocked away, and the Tennessee Titans with Cam Ward rallying this team in the second half.
00:28:18
Speaker 1: This is like if you were to lose to Glass Joe and then have to try and beat Mike Tyson right after that. M has a song about where Indy currently sits, doesn't matter if they have two wins. They were up 13-0 at halftime and lost to a winless Tennessee Titans team in front of their own paying customers who for sure feel like they've had it up to here.
00:28:40
Speaker 14: Deep throw, oh and an interception at the 11-yard line.
00:28:45
Speaker 1: Only scored 20 points, turned the ball over three times. Daniel Jones throwing two INTs for a 60 rating. Four TDs against six INTs on the season. Mallory Archer would warn him, that's how you get ants.
00:28:59
Speaker 14: And on the move, throw, it was tipped. And what an effort. And did he hold that in? That's Amani Booker.
00:29:07
Speaker 1: Scoring on Minnesota, like trying to score with Angela Martin. It just doesn't happen unless you have an incredible game plan. have taken the ball away 10 times in their five games, holding teams to 12 points per game. Toughest team on third down and in the red zone. Sometimes the close at gap kids are just too flashy.
00:29:28
Speaker 7: Heavy situation against them.
00:29:29
Speaker 6: Well, the pressure immediately gets there from Cashman. He got it to Kamara.
00:29:33
Speaker 1: Danny would be happy to drop a nickel on Minnesota's secondary. Forget the Jackson 5. Safety Josh Metellus. Harrison Smith, corners Byron Murphy, Isaiah Rogers, James Pierre, leading a secondary that's holding quarterbacks to the
lowest rating in the league, fewer than 175 yards per game to a 53% completion rate. ABC, as easy as 1-2-3 indeed. Like water.
00:29:58
Speaker 6: To try to battle this Minnesota defense. Another flag is thrown. Shuck throws it right into the hands of Byron Murphy Jr.
00:30:05
Speaker 1: Jones better have practiced all week facing five-plus pass rushers. Quarterbacks might know Brian Flores is going to send the house almost every snap, but like Em, he just don't give a football. 69% blitz rate, obviously the highest in the league, the highest pressure rate, and the third most sacks after five weeks. Andrew Van Ginkle, four sacks, and we warned everybody about Dallas Turner this preseason. He leads the team with five and a half QB takedowns.
00:30:35
Speaker 7: Block linebackers all day.
00:30:37
Speaker 6: And Chuck ends up getting tripped up, and Andrew Van Ginkle will get credit for the sack.
00:30:42
Speaker 1: Great googly moogly, and now that pass rush is going after Jones, who took six sacks last week versus a Tennessee pass rush that was averaging two a game prior to last week. They pressured him 46% of the time, and he only faced a 30% blitz rate, which isn't high.
00:31:01
Speaker 14: Third and 10, pressure coming on Jones, and they're going to gavel him up inside the 30-yard line.
00:31:07
Speaker 1: Jones went for over 260 yards in last week's loss. Josh Downs, 40 yards, fewer than 50 in three straight. Deion Burks, 41. Keenan Allen led the team with 82, his season high.
00:31:20
Speaker 3: Oh, and completes.
00:31:22
Speaker 14: Inside the 25, there's Keenan Allen again, adding to his total today.
00:31:26
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, 57 receiving yards versus the Titans. Taylor, 94 rush yards, a score 4.5 yards per carry. He's been all over the map, three games under 3-9 a run, three games at 4-5 or better.
00:31:40
Speaker 3: The football with a big hole.
00:31:41
Speaker 14: Taylor down inside the 15-yard line.
00:31:45
Speaker 1: Taylor trying to find a lane against a defense, holding runners to a very respectable four-a-carry, so there's literally nothing soft about their D.
00:31:54
Speaker 6: There is that serve of the ball up to Kendray Miller. He gets stuffed by Jalen Redmond, who's had a nice start.
00:32:01
Speaker 1: Colts defense can't be blamed for their maladies or melodies. They held Tennessee to 19 points, three for 10 on third down, just 4.1 yards per play. They've held it under 20 points in three of their last four, held Cam Ward to 102 yards, a sub 60 rate, picked him off. did what you'd expect a decent defense to do against an offense like Tennessee's.
00:32:24
Speaker 14: And it's intercepted from the 40-yard line. Cam Bynum takes it back.
00:32:29
Speaker 1: Now, when you hold a dude to a 59 rating and your season rate is still 98, well, you get it. And Indy's pass rush didn't sack Ward once on 22 pass attempts. They have 10 sacks in six games. Below two a game is not a pretty average, and neither is allowing 27
points per game, which is what the Colts are still giving up despite holding the Titans to 19.
00:32:52
Speaker 14: The Titans, they have blocked the Sanchez kick, and that's a Tennessee Titan touchdown.
00:32:58
Speaker 1: Vikings offense averaging 21 a game. That's nine more than their defense is giving up, so that's been more than enough so far, but sure. They're still hoping Kyler Murray can find his bearings, spark up some more impressive digits on this side of the ball, just 4.6 yards per play, under 24 points in four or five games, Murray only averaging 165 passing yards per game, only two TD passes. so hoping the week off leads to some kind of improvement.
00:33:25
Speaker 3: Off the fake to Jones.
00:33:27
Speaker 6: Murray's got a man near side incomplete. It's through the hands of Ty Felton.
00:33:32
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterbacks have taken 15 sacks in three games. They've faced a below-average pressure rate, though. None of their linemen giving up a double-digit pressure rate, which is impressive. But right tackle Brian O'Neal has given up three sacks, guard Will Fries four and a half per NextGenStats.
00:33:49
Speaker 6: Murray with pressure coming, he gets sandwiched down, has to take the sack.
00:33:53
Speaker 1: Colts DBs have three guys primarily to keep track of when the ball flies. Jordan Addison, 40 yards per game so far. TJ Hawkinson, 40 per outing. Jetta's 64 a game over his four games. Jefferson has had the chance to do the nay-nay three times.
00:34:09
Speaker 3: As a quarterback.
00:34:11
Speaker 6: Just bait for the AI slop fisherman out there. Aaron Jones has provided.
00:34:14
Speaker 5: Minnesota some good games on the ground, hitting at 4-2 a carry.
00:34:17
Speaker 1: Averaging 82 a shift, three games with 90-plus yards. Shue versus the run held Tony Pollard to four per carry. That brought their average down to 4.8, so last week better than previous outings. Many Indy fans were screaming fire everybody after last week, including the special teams bosses, gave up a TD on a blocked punt, plus a 58-yard punt return. Miami Dolphins hoping a reset will give them the energy they need to get win number one. Hey, they're coming off their first week where they didn't lose at least. Still, head to New York on a five-game losing streak. Maybe the Jets could be their Huckleberry, the way Indy was to Tennessee last week. New York, like the Colts, has two wins and have lost four of their last five games.
00:35:35
Speaker 3: Jets offense.
00:35:43
Speaker 1: Also hasn't scored 20 points in four of their last five games, only 19 versus New England, going 0-3 in the red zone, 3-10 on third down. They're not good on either front overall either. Geno Smith threw a pick, his first of the year, stings when it's in the fourth quarter, and you're trying to mount a comeback.
00:36:02
Speaker 2: Still, over 250 yards, over 8 yards per attempt, hadn't cracked 183 his previous two games, has three games with 245-plus yards, 85-plus rating in all six games, so he's feisty.
00:36:07
Speaker 1: Hooked up with Omar Cooper for his one TD pass. a 48-yarder that was part of a 103-yard game for the rookie, his first game back since week one, so that's promising.
00:36:32
Speaker 3: From Smith, rolls out, going to fire, up the seam, it is caught! Omar Cooper Jr.
00:36:41
Speaker 1: No other jet rolling in off a 50-plus yard receiving game. Garrett Wilson, 44 yards, Kenyon Sadiq, 12, Mason Taylor, 33.
00:36:49
Speaker 2: Gonzalez, Smith again, fires over the middle, completion. It's Mason Taylor, the tight end.
00:36:55
Speaker 1: Jets offense taking on what might be best described as the Alphans. Geno facing the least effective pass rush, four sacks, no team with fewer, an abysmally low pressure rate, a secondary giving up the highest completion percentage in the game, allowing a 115 rate to quarterbacks, defense surrendering 26 a game, letting offenses convert third downs almost at will. P.
00:37:19
Speaker 3: Ryan, touchdown Cincinnati!
00:37:23
Speaker 1: Kind of like their O, the one silver lining, they've played runners tough, holding them to 3-7 to carry.
00:37:30
Speaker 3: Brown, one man to beat. Oh, now in a whole bunch of trouble.
00:37:36
Speaker 1: Braylon Allen handled the load again for New York down low again last week. Brees Hall missed another game hurt. Allen, though, hits Week 7 off back-to-back strong showings. 78 yards versus New England after going for 116 the week prior. 4.6 plus yards per carry in each.
00:37:54
Speaker 2: Again slipping the initial tackle. Allen taking on all comers on the back end of that Patriots defense.
00:38:02
Speaker 1: If the Finns' anemic pass rush can't get to Geno, not sure who they're going to get to. He took three sacks last week, has taken three plus and five straight now.
00:38:11
Speaker 2: Here come the Patriots. Geno lit up. Sacked back at the 21.
00:38:17
Speaker 1: Jets defense now gave up close to 150 rush yards to New England. Gave up 26 points, didn't pick off Drake May, didn't sack him on 32 pass attempts, and they lost three starting linemen to injury in that game. Gave up three TDs to Drake.
00:38:33
Speaker 2: Bring only three May all day to throw. Going to take a shot towards the end zone, and it.
00:38:39
Speaker 3: Is caught off.
00:38:41
Speaker 1: Dolphins aren't facing a bad defense, though, just one that didn't have a stellar week six. They have held four of their six opponents under 24 points, and they took the ball away from New England twice. They're holding quarterbacks to 6.3 yards per attempt, and they have 17 sacks in six games. Sure, an eight-spot versus Cleveland helped, but they just have to ski uphill a lot, if you know what I mean.
00:39:03
Speaker 3: The Shadows, it's caught! Douglas!
00:39:08
Speaker 2: And the football comes out. Jets have it. It's Fitzpatrick with the recovery.
00:39:13
Speaker 1: Let's not be negative Nellies with regards to Miami's offense right out of the gate. Sure, they haven't
scored 14 points in four or five games, but the last time we saw them, 24 big ones, baby. And Ollie Gordon hit the buy off two straight good showings he led the way versus cincinnati with 88 yards on 4.9 a carry scored which he did the week before when he ran for 100 yards so they got that going for them.
00:39:39
Speaker 10: Gordon went right behind the extra offensive lineman and got in!
00:39:44
Speaker 3: Touchdown!
00:39:45
Speaker 1: They are hoping that was the start of something new because the rest of their body of work looks akin to Peter Griffin's physique. 14 points per game, second fewest passing yards per game. Malik Willis completing just 56% of his passes, only two touchdowns against four INTs, a sub-70 rate for the year.
00:40:05
Speaker 10: Willis steps up in the pocket, pass was deflected, pass is picked off.
00:40:10
Speaker 1: Willis has faced one of the highest pressure rates in the NFL 14 sacks taken.
00:40:15
Speaker 3: Play action looking for help Oh, no! Willis goes down!
00:40:22
Speaker 1: Finns do have two guys averaging over 50 receiving yards a game at least. Malik Washington with 52 per contest, by far the most targets on the team.
00:40:31
Speaker 10: Pitch it out to Washington. Right side. And Washington on two! Big time first down.
00:40:38
Speaker 1: And Caleb Douglas leads them with 56 yards per game.
00:40:42
Speaker 14: This throw is right on target, down the middle of the field.
00:40:46
Speaker 3: It's Caleb Douglas again.
00:40:48
Speaker 1: Time to sound the alarms at SoFi, not just for the Chargers. Both teams that call it home are in last place. The Rams were supposed to play the Super Bowl on that field, but couldn't beat a team there last week. They were favored to defeat by 12-plus points.
00:41:03
Speaker 3: This is for the win. It's good! And the Rams drop to 2-4.
00:41:08
Speaker 1: Trent's on the phone for them. You're 2-4. You got it bad, baby. You need Vegas. He's going to pick you up in a half hour. Don't need suits, but don't be so sure. You're going to be up 500 by midnight. The Raiders may not have won last week, but the Rams may have to double down in order to keep up with that offense.
00:41:26
Speaker 3: Heaving it toward the end zone. The man is there. And it is caught. Incredible.
00:41:32
Speaker 1: Yes, the Raiders are on a three-game losing streak, but they went toe-to-toe with the AFC's best the last few weeks. Vegas, with 30 points in their Week 6 loss, they are averaging 27 a game, only five teams more potent. Kirk Cousins, the one being handed the free breakfast and the Rain Man sweet, Over 300 yards last week, two more TDs, 240-plus yards in five straight, three touchdowns in five of six games.
00:41:57
Speaker 11: Kirk Cousins putting the ball right where it needs to be, an absolute dot.
00:42:01
Speaker 1: And how about zero sacks taken on 41 pass attempts, which is paired with a Rams pass rush coming off a zero-sack game. They only have eight all year, too. But Kirk O'Chain's did throw a costly pick, and now he duels with a stingy secondary, L.A. held Jacoby Brissett to a low 70s rate, picked him off, no TDs allowed. Only five teams have a lower rating allowed than the Rams, holding quarterbacks to 5.8 yards per attempt, second lowest. a 57% completion rate, third lowest, second fewest passing yards per game.
00:42:35
Speaker 15: On third down and five, Quentin Lake with his second interception of the season.
00:42:40
Speaker 1: They held Arizona to 18 points, brought their season average down to 23 a game. The Cards only converted five of their 15 third down chances and didn't even average five yards per play against the Horns. No TDs scored. LA stopped all five of their red zone trips. And would they have given up that last field goal without... You know, the assistance from Yipes.
00:43:01
Speaker 6: Wow.
00:43:02
Speaker 16: Personal foul. It didn't look to me like there was forcible contact at all, was there?
00:43:06
Speaker 1: Okay, technically, Yipes had red, yellow, and green stripes, but same family nonetheless. He's the one that hawks that gum, for what it's worth. Ram's secondary held every Cardinals pass catcher to fewer than 55 yards. Tight end Trey McBride cobbled 53 against them. So let's see what they do with Brock Bowers. 70 yards versus Buffalo. That was a season low, too.
00:43:27
Speaker 3: You got third and 10. Cousins down inside the five, and it's caught by Bowers.
00:43:32
Speaker 1: His tight end buddy, Michael Mayer, 95 yards last week, 80-plus in two of his last three.
00:43:39
Speaker 3: Going to Mayer. Catches it on his hip. Avoiding the tackle, just.
00:43:42
Speaker 7: Putting the brakes on.
00:43:43
Speaker 1: And Trey Tucker, with both the Cousins' touchdowns plus a team-high 97 yards, hadn't cracked 45 yards his previous three. his second 95-plus yard game of 2026. Here on third and eight.
00:43:56
Speaker 3: Caught! Cousins got it there to Tucker.
00:43:59
Speaker 1: Raiders only 65 rush yards versus Buffalo. Ashton Gentry, fifth game in a row under four a carry, second in a row under two eight. Mike Washington hit at 4-8 per on his nine attempts at least. The Rams are giving up 4-4 a carry in 2026 after allowing Bam Knight to go for 80 yards on 5-3 a try.
00:44:19
Speaker 16: Arizona keeps these tight ends on the field, these big bodies in the field.
00:44:22
Speaker 3: They're going to try to run the ball right at them. L.A.
00:44:24
Speaker 1: 's own backs. Plenty effective last week. Blake Corum, 4.7 per, 47 yards. Kyron Williams, 50 yards, 5 per attempt. He's hit for 5 a run or better four of his last five games.
00:44:37
Speaker 15: It run Kyron Williams across midfield into Cardinals territory.
00:44:42
Speaker 1: On paper, Matthew Stafford looked good. Two touchdowns, no interceptions, a 113 rate. Five TDs, no picks in his last two, 100-plus ratings in both.
00:44:52
Speaker 3: Second down and three. Play action. It is Parkinson. Reaches.
00:44:57
Speaker 1: They
got 80 yards from Puka Nakua. 43 coming on one catch that set up the go-ahead TD.
00:45:03
Speaker 3: Able to get rid of it. Nakua the catch. Still going across midfield. Puka Nakua.
00:45:09
Speaker 1: And yet, L.A. only managed to score 16 points versus Arizona, who was on the road on a four-game losing streak. and who has not played the best defense in 2026 either. Not the fiercest pass rush, yet Stafford took three sacks.
00:45:24
Speaker 3: Stafford looking hit! All comes loose! Takes the big shot in the back.
00:45:29
Speaker 1: Rams lost Devontae Adams to injury, and he's going to be eating Taco Bell in his living room for the next six to ten weeks. Good thing that worker made the move with him. He and the rest of L.A. 's pass catchers with fewer than 40 yards versus Zona, L.A. averaging 22 points per game for the year. Disappointing to say the least, but maybe the Raiders' defense can be the cowbell for their fever. They gave up 33 points to Buffalo, allowing 27 a game overall, have given up 27-plus points in four straight.
00:45:58
Speaker 7: Here he goes.
00:45:59
Speaker 3: Look at this pass. Touchdown! With a little flip and six.
00:46:04
Speaker 1: The secondary Stafford and at least Puka go after, gave up 255 yards to Josh Allen, two touchdowns, no picks, a 1-12 rate, Raid allowed for the year now over 100, giving up close to eight yards per attempt. Stafford's line, dealing with a group that's amassed 15 sacks in six games, got to Allen twice on 33 pass attempts.
00:46:29
Speaker 3: And L.A.
00:46:30
Speaker 1: 's two-headed back attack, going after a front that gave up 95 yards to James Cook on 4-3 a carry... He scored on them. They are now at a 4-9 per attempt average for the season. Only three teams easier to run on so far. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head off for a big NFC South showdown. Despite a 1-5 record, they get a win in this one, and they're very much alive in that division. Just really need Baker's thumb to heal up.
00:46:57
Speaker 3: Daniels to the outside. It's picked off!
00:46:59
Speaker 5: Intercepted!
00:47:01
Speaker 3: Down the sideline! And the Steelers are in business!
00:47:05
Speaker 1: They are in Carolina facing the division leaders, Panthers, though, starting to build confidence. They make it three straight wins, and they also have legit momentum on their side.
00:47:15
Speaker 11: Carolina enters Week 7 with an offense that's been good for 25-plus points in four of their five games now.
00:47:28
Speaker 1: How about 29 points per game, fourth most in the NFL, three for four in the red zone last week, 25 points versus Philadelphia. Bryce Young still dealing two TDs, no picks, 280 plus yards. That's his season low, 11 TDs now against only two INTs.
00:47:47
Speaker 3: Young looking for the kill shot. Touchdown, Tommy Trimble.
00:47:51
Speaker 11: And the Panthers might be dancing their way out of Philadelphia with a W.
00:47:56
Speaker 1: Now he faces a secondary that gave up over 250 yards to Aaron Rodgers, two touchdowns, but they also held him to 5.2 yards per attempt and picked him off. A sub-85 rate, they're holding quarterbacks to an 87 rating for the year and just 6.3 yards per attempt. So Bryce isn't dealing with morons here, Lebowski.
00:48:18
Speaker 3: Pressure coming and the pass.
00:48:21
Speaker 9: It's intercepted off the deflection by Robinson.
00:48:25
Speaker 1: Bucks allowed 26 points to the Steelers, 23 points allowed in the fourth quarter and OT. That didn't help Todd Bowles from fans wanting the cannons fired at him, but they did hold Pittsburgh to 3.9 yards per play. Remember, anything below 4 is definitely an ice cube kind of day. Held Pittsburgh to 5 for 15 on third down, sacked Rodgers five times, David Walker with a pair, and look at that! Reuben Bain with his first NFL sack.
00:48:53
Speaker 3: And Rodgers is taken down again. Reuben Bain, we have proof of life.
00:48:58
Speaker 1: Five sacks last week, only 11 all year. Young took two versus Philadelphia, but it was on 39 pass attempts, has taken two or three in each game played, but he's throwing a lot so it comes with the territory. And it's not stopping him from piling up yards with Tedaroa McMillan, 86 versus Philadelphia, that's 75 plus and four or $ 5.
00:49:20
Speaker 16: Now.
00:49:20
Speaker 3: And a laser beam over the middle to McMillan.
00:49:23
Speaker 1: And they got Jalen Coker back, he led the team with 97 yards last week, got four more targets than T-Mac too.
00:49:31
Speaker 11: Young out of the pocket, he will throw, and hits his man Coker!
00:49:35
Speaker 3: Big game for Coker!
00:49:37
Speaker 1: Both Young's TDs in the hands of tight end Tommy Tremble, who added 46 yards.
00:49:42
Speaker 3: Number two for the tight end. The Eagles just totally lost him.
00:49:48
Speaker 1: Buck Secondary gave up 93 yards to DK Metcalf, 87 and a touchdown to Jeremy Bernard. Gave up 40 yards on 5.7 a carry to Rico Dowdle down low, but held Jalen Warren, who had been looking good, to 3.6 yards per carry, which fits their 3.4 per average for 2026.
00:50:08
Speaker 9: Warren has been bottled up today, and as we told you, this Tampa Bay run defense.
00:50:13
Speaker 1: Is That means Chuba Hubbard is going to have to work to keep the good times rolling, and he's been on a roll with some butter. 120 yards a week ago, 4.3 yards per carry, a score that's back-to-back 120-plus yard games, still hasn't left work under 4-3 a pop.
00:50:30
Speaker 8: I love this guy. I love watching Chuba Hubbard play. Watch him run through the contact. He runs violently.
00:50:37
Speaker 1: Buck's offense? Nowhere near as potent. 19 points week 6, which is their season average. 3.1 yards per play, 6 for 19 on third down. That's ugly. Bucky Irving had that huge game versus Dallas. 46 yards on 2.4 a carry versus Pittsburgh, under 3.9 per attempt in three of his last four. No one receiver with 50 yards last week. Emeka Ibuka scored, only 48 yards. Ted Hurst, 40, Chris Godwin, 37, Jalen Daniels,
looking more undrafted QB compared to his Cowboys game, took five sacks, only 164 yards on a piddly 3.8 yards per attempt, was picked off twice for a sub-50 rate.
00:51:20
Speaker 3: He throws it late and behind out wide.
00:51:23
Speaker 1: Bucks quarterbacks with the second most sacks taken in 2026 at 22, Panthers defense, not sack specialists per se, just over two a game, but got Tanner McKee three times and hit him 11 times, bothered him enough to hold him in check to the tune of 215 yards, 4-8 in attempt, sub-80 rating. They are top 10 good in rating, yards per attempt, and completion percentage allowed through six weeks.
00:51:50
Speaker 3: Devontae Smith covered well by Will Lee.
00:51:54
Speaker 17: III, and he is all over him.
00:51:56
Speaker 1: Irving does face the worst rush defense in the league, still giving up 5-1 to carry, even though they held Damian Pierce to 2.9 yards per attempt, 35 yards. They only faced 12 runs from the fourth string back. When Carolina held Philadelphia to 222 yards, they were flagged 13 times for 149 yards. That, kids, is a franchise record in penalty yards. The 2026 flag football season continues at a torrid pace. Titans are off the schneid. No going 0-17 in Tennessee this year, streaking into Week 7 on a one-game bender. Doesn't matter how it happened, it happened.
00:52:45
Speaker 3: Pressure and it's blocked! The Titans!
00:52:47
Speaker 14: They have blocked the Sanchez kick, and that's a Tennessee Titan touchdown!
00:52:52
Speaker 1: They welcome the Browns to town. Hey, Miles Garrett, how are things looking right now? 2-4 in last place, while Cleveland is, let's see here, oh yeah! 4-2 and in first place. Schmitz Creek for the win again. Defense again making it possible. And it's Cleveland's defense versus Tennessee's O that has many a dog pound member thinking 5-2 is more than attainable. They held Baltimore to 10 points. And before you say, well, no Lamar, remember everybody was raving about Tyler Huntley's fill-in work. and only one person took Cleveland on our panel last week knowing he was starting. They held Baltimore to 4.1 yards per play, 6 for 16 on third down, and are now 7th in points per game allowed at 20 a game, 5th best in the red zone.
00:53:46
Speaker 3: Third and goal. Derrick Henry again.
00:53:49
Speaker 18: Derrick Henry upended.
00:53:50
Speaker 1: The secondary Cam Ward takes on held Huntley to 165 yards on 5.3 yards per attempt, a sub-90 rate, now holding quarterbacks to a sub-60% completion rate. They sacked Huntley three times on 31 pass attempts without Mason Graham again. That's 19 sacks for the year, second most, so much for no Garrett, meaning no pass rush. Now they set their sights on Ward in Tennessee's offense. He didn't take any sacks versus Indy, and to their credit, he's only been dropped more than once in a game, once in his last three games. Unfortunately, that has not led to offensive production or much production from Ward. He won last week while throwing for 102 yards, only completing 50% of his passes, picked off for the fourth game in a row. fewer than 5.1 yards per attempt in three of his last four, has only topped 184 yards in a game once all year, offense has yet to account for 21 points in a game, 19 versus the Colts, still no team with fewer points per game.
00:55:01
Speaker 14: Throwing, and it's intercepted from the 40-yard line. Cam Bynum takes it back.
00:55:08
Speaker 1: The two bright spots they have to offer coming into the week, Carnell Tate, rookie with 70 of Ward's 102 yards, his first NFL TD.
00:55:16
Speaker 3: End zone, open, touchdown, Tennessee Titans.
00:55:21
Speaker 1: And Tony Pollard, 76 rush yards, four per carry.
00:55:25
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard with a big run. His best run of the day.
00:55:29
Speaker 1: Brown's front just got done holding the king to 3.4 a run. They hadn't played the run great in every game, so they shored some things up week six.
00:55:37
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry and Henry fumbles a football. The ball is out at the 34-yard line.
00:55:43
Speaker 1: If you see a lot of 13-10, 10-7 types of predictions at the end of this preview, don't be shocked. Browns offense only found 13 points in their win, scored 12 the week before, only topped 24 once for 2026. This is a matchup of the lowest scoring offense and a team 28th in points per game. Browns at 17 a contest, last place converting third downs.
00:56:06
Speaker 3: Four-man pressure this time. Watson looking for Concepcion and too tall.
00:56:12
Speaker 1: Their rush attack averaging 3.6 a carry after finishing at 3-2 versus Baltimore. Didn't have Quinshawn Judkins last week. He'd been struggling anyway. Deshawn Watson, no touchdowns. Only 164 yards versus the Ravens. Fewer than 165 yards in three of his last four.
00:56:26
Speaker 3: Watson. Five sacks. He's taken 13 in his last two games.
00:56:33
Speaker 1: 24 taken for the year now, nobody has been planted more often.
00:56:44
Speaker 3: Watson in the pocket trying to escape, and he's down!
00:56:48
Speaker 1: Stacked against a Titans pass rush that split a sixer of Danny Dimes a week ago. Jermaine Johnson with a pair, Jeffrey Simmons with two.
00:56:56
Speaker 14: Third and ten, pressure coming on Jones, and they're going to gavel him up.
00:57:00
Speaker 3: It's at the 30-yard line.
00:57:01
Speaker 1: Watson versus a secondary that picked off Jones twice, held him to a low 60s rate. Jones.
00:57:13
Speaker 1: Titans defense held the Colts to 20 points, took the ball away three times, are holding teams to a very respectable 21 a game.
00:57:20
Speaker 14: Gave up 94 yards on 4-5 a run to Jonathan Taylor, but they've played most backs tough, holding runners.
00:57:24
Speaker 9: To 3-8 a try.
00:57:33
Speaker 1: Cleveland's Jaleel McLaughlin did carry the ball nine times for 41 yards, a nice 4-6 per attempt. And Jerry Judy caught four passes last week for a season-high 69 yards.
00:57:45
Speaker 3: Over the middle, open is Judy! Jerry Judy on the run!
Inside the Ravens, 30 and thrown out of bounds!
00:57:53
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be a premiere Monday Night Football matchup. If you watch ESPN's promos for it, it looks like it still. But this is game preview guy land, so I'm here to tell you it's two 2-4 teams that are reeling. Philadelphia, more so after finding out they will have to go forth without Jalen Hurts for the year in all likelihood. Scary stuff, hope he gets better soon. The latest in what's been nothing but bad news and bad results for the Eagles.
00:58:19
Speaker 3: Eagles just trying to stay in the game.
00:58:21
Speaker 11: Incomplete, Smith and Wheatley makes the play and they take over on downs.
00:58:26
Speaker 1: The hated Dallas Cowboys stumble into town. They've lost three of their last four games. A players meeting? Unless they talked about how to lose again, it didn't change anything.
00:58:36
Speaker 3: Prescott, man slips, Cissé picks.
00:58:41
Speaker 1: That Uber driver is really talking smack about Dak Prescott now.
00:58:45
Speaker 3: He is struggling.
00:58:46
Speaker 1: Back-to-back sub-70 rating games, two INTs versus Green Bay, just 4.8 yards per attempt. He's piling up a lot of yards still, but it's been a volume play the last two games, not a quality play.
00:58:59
Speaker 4: Third and eight, Prescott delivers in the middle, it's intercepted! Tried to squeeze it in, couldn't do it.
00:59:05
Speaker 5: You take the body shots, eventually the head dies and that's exactly what happened.
00:59:10
Speaker 1: Dallas hasn't scored 18 points two weeks in a row, 13 versus Green Bay, on just 4.3 yards per play.
00:59:17
Speaker 3: It's Flannoy, only a yard, that's it.
00:59:20
Speaker 1: They take on a Philadelphia defense that gave up 25 points to Carolina in their most recent showcase. Three points more than their season average. Let the Panthers cash in three of their four red zone chances. Didn't play the pass great, allowing two touchdowns to Bryce Young. No interceptions. Gave up over 280 yards to him. 80-plus yards allowed to Tedaroa McMillan. Over 90 allowed to Jalen Coker. Rare, but Quinion Mitchell is in the rebound line. He gave up a touchdown in 74 yards.
00:59:50
Speaker 3: In his mind, Tremble's blocking.
00:59:52
Speaker 8: By the time Mitchell notices that Tremble has released, it's too late.
00:59:56
Speaker 1: Eagles' pass rush got to Young twice, but it took 39 pass attempts. 26% pressure rate, very subpar. Dak hasn't been dealing with a sack issue, only one sack taken on 54 pass attempts last week. He has taken two or fewer sacks, five of their six games. Ryan Flanoy caught his touchdown, only 40 yards. Only guys with more than 40, the usual suspects. George Pickens, 73 yards. He's now on a four-game streak of 70-plus yard games.
01:00:25
Speaker 3: And CeeDee Lamb, 70 yards.
01:00:26
Speaker 4: That's 70-plus in four of his last five, but it took 18 targets last week, caught nine.
01:00:31
Speaker 1: Passes, so that's like getting two and a
half bars on your cell. And Dallas' rush game had trouble getting through too. Javante Williams only 41 yards on 3.7 a run. He gets a Philadelphia defense that gave up 120 yards to Chuba Hubbard on 4-3 per attempt.
01:01:01
Speaker 11: Hubbard will get it and still going.
01:01:04
Speaker 3: Hubbard would not go down.
01:01:07
Speaker 1: Eagles normally pretty tough to run on. Normally a pretty dangerous offense to stop. But they are a shell of what they were expected to be heading into week seven, especially if Saquon doesn't return. They ran with a fourth-string running back who didn't even hit at three yards per carry, a backup quarterback who didn't even hit at five yards per attempt. So not a shock. It was an offense that walked off the field with only 14 points.
01:01:30
Speaker 11: That pass turned out to be a knuckleball because it was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
01:01:36
Speaker 1: That's four straight games without 21 points. Tanner McKee gave it his all. He took three sacks, sub-80 rate, wasn't a difference maker.
01:01:44
Speaker 3: McKee gets manhandled by Devin Lloyd.
01:01:48
Speaker 1: Only two Eagles enter off 25-plus yard games, so Dallas should know who to focus on. Devontae Smith, six more targets than anybody else at 14, 75 yards and a touchdown.
01:01:59
Speaker 3: McKee loads it up. Touchdown, Devontae Smith!
01:02:04
Speaker 1: And tight end Dallas Goddard, 61 yards.
01:02:06
Speaker 3: McKee, step and deliver to Goddard.
01:02:10
Speaker 17: First down.
01:02:11
Speaker 1: Dallas' secondary did make Jalen Daniels look like a legit quarterback a couple of weeks ago. Still, Cowboys' defense does take a lot of crap, and for good reason. None of their season numbers defensively are good, but they come off a legit good showing against an offense that looked pretty good on most fronts the week prior.
01:02:27
Speaker 3: They held the Packers to 23 points, just 4.5 yards per play.
01:02:41
Speaker 1: I only mention yards per play when it's under five, and Green Bay hit the Bears defense with 31 points the week before, and that was a defense others have had trouble scoring on. Jordan Love torched that secondary, but Dallas held him to a sub-75 rate under seven yards per attempt and picked him off.
01:02:58
Speaker 3: And Love, rid of it quick, and it's intercepted.
01:03:01
Speaker 5: There are some punches and counter punches going on out here tonight.
01:03:06
Speaker 1: Maybe the defensive consultant they brought in had a little Jennifer Melfi in him, and it made a little bit of a difference. Dallas' pass rush only had five sacks in their first five games. Only one team has fewer bags than they do all year, yet they dropped Love three times.
01:03:21
Speaker 4: Here comes the pressure from the Cowboys, picked up. Not the end of it, though. Love is brought down by Kenny Clark.
01:03:26
Speaker 1: And like Onyx would tell you, but wait, there's more. A defense that holds a 4.7-yard-per-carry average versus runners held Green Bay to 2.2 per run. Bottom line, bad defensive body of work coming off a solid showing, facing an offense in disarray. Arizona Cardinals at home Week 7, but coaches telling them the same thing Lloyd told Harry. That John Denver is full of it. The Broncos aren't from the Rocky Mountains, man. They're from Los Angeles, and we're not in the desert. When you step on the field, you'll be inside SoFi Stadium again.
01:04:01
Speaker 3: This is for the win.
01:04:02
Speaker 15: Ryland's kick is good. Their second win of the season, both here at SoFi.
01:04:09
Speaker 1: They take on the 4-2 Broncos, whose defense is looking more like that orange fizzy soda again. Good thing, because that's all they seem to have going for them at the moment.
01:04:19
Speaker 3: Darnold throws. Darnold has that one picked off.
01:04:22
Speaker 19: Jaquan McMillan with the interception.
01:04:25
Speaker 1: Denver starting to look a little like Minnesota, don't need much of an offense, and can still walk off winners. The secondary, Jacoby Brissett, takes on this week, picked off Sam Darnold twice last week without giving up a TD. They are now holding quarterbacks to a 73 rating, 54% completion rate, and they've played the last two games without PS2 at corner, so they only get stronger if he comes back this week.
01:04:51
Speaker 5: It's easy to put that on Sam Darnold, obviously, for the decision, and it allows Chris Abrams' train to be able to get underneath that.
01:04:58
Speaker 1: They held Seattle to 14 points, so that's back-to-back teams they've held under 18, bringing their point-per-game average down to 20. took the ball away three times for the second game in a row, and blew up Darnold five times, hit him a ridiculous 17 times, averaging a healthy three bags a game for 2026.
01:05:18
Speaker 19: Chase out of the pocket, goes down, back at the 31-yard line, Nick Bonito.
01:05:25
Speaker 1: Well, on that front, Arizona has this to offer. Jacoby Brissett didn't take a single sack versus L.A. He threw 35 passes, too. Hasn't taken three sacks in five of six games. Two in a game kind of been the norm.
01:05:38
Speaker 3: From the 43, the set's pass is complete.
01:05:41
Speaker 15: Take it out across midfield and still going Elijah Higgins.
01:05:45
Speaker 1: Look, Denver's not taking on a team whose latest win can be explained logically. The offense versus defense matchup on this side of things is super lopsided. Arizona didn't score a single TD last week. 0 for 5 in the red zone, fewer than five yards per play. won despite only scoring 18 points. Third game, they haven't scored 22. Their quarterback picked off sub-75 rate.
01:06:09
Speaker 3: Pass is picked off on third down and five.
01:06:13
Speaker 16: Quentin Lake, exactly what the Cardinals couldn't do.
01:06:16
Speaker 1: Brissett has ping-ponged between games where you're like, you need to be careful not to underestimate him, and games where you're like, oh, he's a journeyman backup bridge guy. Michael
Wilson, Kendrick Bourne can be dangerous, neither guy with 50 yards last week. Tight end Trey McBride, the focal point to their offense, 53 yards versus LA, that's ho-hum for him. He's caught at least seven passes every game.
01:06:40
Speaker 3: Pass over the middle, caught by McBride.
01:06:43
Speaker 1: Cards didn't have Jeremiah Love to hand off to, see if he comes back this week, but Bam Bam stepped in and laid down his club. Knight with 80 yards on a fat 5'3, a carry, would have made the Flintstones proud. It marks Arizona's best rushing performance this year.
01:06:59
Speaker 3: Big run, take it all the way down, 10-yard line by Bam Knight.
01:07:03
Speaker 1: Broncos semi-blind spot remains the run game, gave up 4.3 yards per carry to Seattle runners, 4-7 allowed overall, so it's an opening if Arizona wanted to try and load up on Love.
01:07:16
Speaker 19: Look at this, taking everybody with him. Polanyi takes it to the one-yard line.
01:07:21
Speaker 1: Remember when Mr. Burns took over the Power Plant softball team? davis webb does hey sean buddy maybe it wasn't an oc problem maybe bow does not in fact know football nicks has not looked good in most games in 2026 finished with just 107 yards versus seattle that's back-to-back games with fewer than 125 with peyton calling the offense just four yards per attempt last week that's four straight nicks has left work under five six an attempt.
01:07:51
Speaker 3: With this one covering on the play intended for waddle their third and ten.
01:07:54
Speaker 1: He took two sacks a week ago, hasn't been sacked three times in their last five, though, and he only faced a 23% pressure rate versus Seattle. That's really low. Not one Bronco pass catcher has finished with 60-plus receiving yards two weeks in a row. Jalen Waddell, Cortland Sutton, Marvin Mims, all fewer than 25 in their win last week.
01:08:15
Speaker 19: Knicks rolling, Knicks throwing, and that is incomplete.
01:08:20
Speaker 1: Are the Cardinals the team to find traction against? They beat L.A., but they did give up two TDs and a 100-plus rating to Matthew Stafford, are allowing a 116 rate overall, but they held L.A. to 16 points, so who cares? Held every Rams pass catcher, save Puka, to fewer than 40 yards. Let him through for a 43-yard catch late. They sacked Stafford three times.
01:08:44
Speaker 16: There's one guy that's been consistent consistently.
01:08:47
Speaker 3: In Arizona for a decade, it's been Buda Baker.
01:08:49
Speaker 1: All of that from a team that's allowing 29 points a game for the year that gave up 5 a carry to Kyron Williams and 4-7 to Blake Corum, and are now allowing 4-4 per run for the season. And once again, not much from J.K. Dobbins, their starting running back, only 41 rush yards on 2.4 per try. He's now checked out 5 straight games under 3-9 in attempt. Seattle Seahawks at home for some Sunday night football action, hoping it goes better than the Thursday night football action they were just a part of. No, sir, they didn't like that at all.
01:09:25
Speaker 3: Darnold throws. Darnold has that one picked off.
01:09:29
Speaker 1: 12s will have that Spicoli feeling this week.
01:09:31
Speaker 3: They know that, dude.
01:09:33
Speaker 1: K-9 comes home for the first time, probably with a chip on his shoulder. Huh, you all are 3-3 and have no run game. Didn't see me as an every-down back. That's funny to me.
01:09:44
Speaker 17: And Walker the call. Finds the gap.
01:09:46
Speaker 3: Oh, there he goes! Galloping! Chased by Still!
01:09:50
Speaker 18: Touchdown!
01:09:50
Speaker 3: Touchdown!
01:09:51
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, NFL rushing king, 133 yards per game, 6.3 yards per carry, first on both fronts, 100 plus yards in four or five games, 128 on 6-7 to carry last week, his fifth and sixth TDs. That sum it up.
01:10:08
Speaker 17: Walker gets a block from Kelsey. He breaks three and dives.
01:10:12
Speaker 3: Touchdown.
01:10:13
Speaker 1: And now he gets in the ring with one of the toughest defenses to run on. Seattle, holding running backs to 3.5 yards per carry, held J.K. Dobbins to 2.4 a try in their loss last week.
01:10:26
Speaker 3: Leonard Williams reminding everybody in his 12th year what he can do.
01:10:31
Speaker 1: Walker has been the star of the Kansas City offense in 2026 and Week 6 versus L.A. because who knows how they would have fared without him. They only put up 22 points, 3 for 10 on 3rd down, and just one for four in the red zone, Patrick Mahomes throwing an end zone interception without throwing for a TD.
01:10:50
Speaker 17: Intercepted in the end zone! Oh, they stopped the drive.
01:10:53
Speaker 3: And it's track!
01:10:54
Speaker 1: Now, Kansas City's offense had been good for 24-plus points in all their other games, and Mahomes piled up 272 yards despite not having Rasheed Rice or Tyquan Thornton, Rice could be back this week, track his status. Seattle's defense would sport even better numbers if they didn't have to deal with their offense helping other offenses out. The two games they've surrendered 24-plus points, their offense gave it up three and four times. Last week, they overcame the TOs and held Denver to 17 points, and that was with the OT interception, setting up the last three. Three for 14 on third down, just 2.9 yards per play. Perspective check. Keeping teams to three anything is dominance.
01:11:37
Speaker 19: Throwing, and that is incomplete. Average set time. by Witherspoon fourth down.
01:11:44
Speaker 1: Casey's offense, drawing a D, holding teams to 20 a game, a lead at forcing teams to punt. Mahomes dealing with a secondary, holding quarterbacks to a 75 rating, number one in yards per attempt at 5.2 after they held Bo Nix to four per pass attempt, just 107 yards, first in passing yards per game at 141 per contest.
01:12:05
Speaker 3: Witherspoon would have fit in very well with a legion of boom.
01:12:09
Speaker 17: Oh, perfect.
01:12:09
Speaker 19: Richard Sherman and company.
01:12:10
Speaker 3:
Oh, perfect.
01:12:11
Speaker 1: Up front, Seattle got to Knicks twice. Their season total now at 16, pressure rate over 40 for the year, and Mahomes won't see many blitzes as they don't use them a lot. But man, are they effective when they spring them. Both sacks last week came when they sent an extra guy.
01:12:28
Speaker 3: Chased and sacked. Taken down. Even worried.
01:12:32
Speaker 1: Mahomes didn't take any sacks versus the Chargers. 30 pass attempts has only taken six in their five games. so getting dropped hasn't been a major issue. Xavier Worthy did step up as Mahomes' go-to, led the team in looks, caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards, Makes two games in a row, he's topped 70.
01:12:51
Speaker 20: Outside, Worthy has it. He's got the first down. Shoved out of bounds by Still.
01:12:55
Speaker 1: From there, two tight ends. The other Chiefs with more than 27 yards.
01:12:59
Speaker 17: Trav, of course.
01:13:00
Speaker 1: Kelsey, 53 yards.
01:13:02
Speaker 17: Caught by Kelsey. And everybody's enjoying it.
01:13:06
Speaker 1: And Noah Gray with the same 53. Being chased by Barrett.
01:13:10
Speaker 17: Down the sideline it goes. Noah Gray trying to hurdle.
01:13:14
Speaker 1: Other side of the coin now. Kansas City's defense versus Seattle's offense. which is a mishmash of storylines, Seahawks averaging a respectable 24 points per game, don't come off a good showing though. Chiefs defense, second in points per game allowed at 16 a game, second best in the red zone, Only team tougher and giving up fewer points per game, Minnesota.
01:13:36
Speaker 20: The coverage, and it was good there by Noel Williams.
01:13:39
Speaker 3: Fourth and goal.
01:13:39
Speaker 1: They held L.A. to six points, five for 16 on third down, stopped all three of their red zone attempts, held them to just 4.1 yards per play, held Justin Herbert to 5.5 yards per attempt, no TDs, while picking him off for a 63 rating. They're now fourth in rating allowed, holding quarterbacks to 6.1 yards per attempt.
01:14:00
Speaker 20: The red flag a Seattle fan might point out, they faced Herbert, Daniel Jones, Malik Willis, and Bo Nix, four of the least productive quarterbacks of 2026.
01:14:20
Speaker 1: But a KC loyalist will point out the QB they face this week might qualify for that club. Hawks have lost three of their last four games, and each loss, Sam Darnold has been picked off twice, has an INT in four straight games now, two last week in their loss to Denver, no TDs, a season-low 52 rating.
01:14:39
Speaker 3: Deep.
01:14:42
Speaker 19: And nobody there.
01:14:44
Speaker 3: Nobody at all. They lost.
01:14:45
Speaker 1: Another fumble, too. Have three to four turnovers in three of their last four each of those games. Losses, of course. They were still able to put up points in all those other games, but not last week, sputtering out to just 14.
01:14:58
Speaker 3: Nick Bonito extracted it.
01:15:01
Speaker 1: Darnold and that offense should go see that Dr. Prince
talked about. You know the one, Dr. Everything's Gonna Be Alright. Maybe he can give their O-line something to help keep Darnold upright more often. He's taken five sacks back-to-back games. Versus San Francisco, it was guard Gray Zabel who struggled. Last week, it was left tackle Charles Cross who gave up a sack in a hefty 17% pressure rate. per NextGenStats.
01:15:26
Speaker 19: Darnold getting chased, Darnold getting taken down.
01:15:29
Speaker 1: While the Chiefs only have eight sacks in five games, four of those did come last week. Sure, LA's O-line is made up of several backup Barneys, But KC got a taste of what it's like to see Mom more often, so maybe they'll make more visits on the regular.
01:15:44
Speaker 3: He's hit!
01:15:45
Speaker 17: That is Karloftis, who comes up with the sack.
01:15:48
Speaker 1: Chief secondary allowed a 57-yard catch to Quentin Johnston last week, and that was about it. Rashid Shahid fumbled twice versus Denver, only lost one, chipped in 66 yards.
01:16:00
Speaker 3: Shaheed!
01:16:01
Speaker 1: That's the first time Shaheed has gone for more than 35 yards. Cooper Cupp also put up a season high going for 50 yards at least.
01:16:09
Speaker 19: Here's Darnold, fires into the middle. And that is Cupp who gets away. Cupp's trying to get to the sideline.
01:16:15
Speaker 1: Into the star of the show again, JSN. Kansas City should just double him every play. Not sure that would matter. Smith and Jigba, 134 yards week six. So that's 100 plus yards and five of six now. Over 700 yards already for the season, he's the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am of the showroom. Not just any Trans Am, the souped-up one like Kitt and Knight Rider, of course. Seattle's makeshift run game has been an on-again, off-again kind of outfit. Three games under 100 yards, three over. They come off an over-outing, at least. Emmanuel Wilson, George Helani, Velas Jones, their committee members, 113 yards, acceptable 4-3 per run clip versus Denver.
01:17:03
Speaker 19: Look at this, taking everybody with him. Alani takes it to the one-yard line.
01:17:09
Speaker 1: Giants on the road for Week 7. New York having to try and bounce back from a dramatic Week 6 loss.
01:17:16
Speaker 6: Here is McCarthy, padding the feet, running out of time, a duck to.
01:17:21
Speaker 3: The end zone, incomplete.
01:17:23
Speaker 1: They are in Houston, Texans back at home, filled with renewed hope. Still have to play with a do-or-die attitude, but they did over in London, so no dying just yet.
01:17:33
Speaker 3: And it is down the middle. The Texans win it here in London.
01:17:37
Speaker 1: Texans, kind of the Mr. Robot of the NFL this year. Never know who you're dealing with week to week. Defense has given up 30-plus points three times. The offense has put up 30-plus points three times. Both those occurred versus Jacksonville. Houston's O, carrying them to their second win.
01:17:56
Speaker 18: Quick hitter, wide open, and Foster Moreau takes advantage for the touchdown.
01:18:01
Speaker 6: C.J.
01:18:01
Speaker 1: Stroud and the offense good for 26 plus points in four of six games. 34 versus Jacksonville, who hadn't allowed 21 to anybody. Jags secondary, one of the toughest of 2026. Stroud hit him with three TDs, over 300 yards, over nine yards per attempt. A 110-plus rate, has gone for more than 300 yards three times already, 260-plus yards in five of six games now, 100-plus rate, three straight, so he's hitting Week 7 hot.
01:18:30
Speaker 3: Stroud floats one for no! Touchdown! Another dime from C.J.
01:18:35
Speaker 4: Stroud.
01:18:35
Speaker 1: Did throw his first INT of the year, a red zone job too, but comes off his first game without taking a sack. Threw 34 times, had taken two to four sacks in each game until last week. and now he faces a giant's path rush that didn't come up with a single sack of Tyler Shuck last week. 30 pass attempts. Not shocking as their sack total stuck on the Ocho with Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks. Stroud drawing a secondary that gave up three touchdowns to Shuck without picking him off.
01:19:06
Speaker 3: Shuck for Olave. It's a touchdown for Olave.
01:19:10
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though. So on one hand, Houston's O gets a New York D that has had trouble finishing off quarterbacks that gave up 34 points to New Orleans, allowed them to convert all three red zone trips, and have now given up 24 plus points in four of their last five games. But on the other hand, they held the Saints to four for 15 on third down. They had to deal with their own offense and special teams, giving the ball away four times. The secondary Stroud is up against held Shuck to 144 yards, less than five yards per attempt, have held five of the six quarterbacks they've faced to fewer than 181 yards.
01:19:47
Speaker 3: It's a blitz.
01:19:47
Speaker 6: It's a screen against a blitz, which is often a great play to run against it.
01:19:53
Speaker 1: Giants DBs held every Saints pass catcher to fewer than 44 yards. Chris Olave to 43. The one in Houston's wideout room, Nico Collins. Four games this year, 74 yards in three of them. That's what he went for versus Jacksonville.
01:20:08
Speaker 4: Get him!
01:20:13
Speaker 1: Not much from Xavier Hutchinson or Kashawn Booty week six. Marvin Harrison, three catches, 34 yards in his debut with the Texans. Dalton Schultz, 33 yards. Jalen Knoll with a huge 50-yard catch plus a score. Season-high 107 yards, 85-plus yards, two of his last three.
01:20:34
Speaker 19: Stroud.
01:20:35
Speaker 18: Deep shot is there for Jalen Knoll.
01:20:38
Speaker 1: Plus they get tanked back. Dell riding back into action in his Daewoo, making his first appearance of 2026. And how about the Houston run game? Comes off its best showing since week one. Against the number one rush defense in football, 114 yards on 4.6 a carry, Woody Marks over 50 yards, Jawar Jordan 43 yards, 7.2 per run, 25-yard TD.
01:21:05
Speaker 18: He finds a cutback lay, breaks a tackle in the
secondary, Jawar Jordan, touchdown!
01:21:11
Speaker 1: They could stitch two good ground games together if they're willing to feed their backs, too. New York, giving up 5.1 per carry, gave up 175 rush yards to the Saints. Keep in mind, they were averaging 81 a game before last week. A loud 10-plus yard runs to four different guys. And despite all that, still almost pulled off another late-game comeback thanks to a 23-year-old blonde quarterback taken in the first round of the draft. Wait, Dart is back? No, 9 is. I mean, 9 times 2 is. How about we see what J.J. McCarthy, with a chip on his shoulder, looks like for a full game in blue.
01:21:56
Speaker 3: Looking for him! He's got it inside the 30!
01:22:01
Speaker 1: He replaced Winston last week, who reminded folks what Jameis is famous for. Two INTs, only one touchdown, just 152 yards for a low 50s rate. Jameis Winston throws yet another interception.
01:22:12
Speaker 6: This time it's Julian Blackman down to the 20-yard line.
01:22:17
Speaker 1: So what a way for J.J. to make an entrance. Comes into that game down 34-10. Leaves New York to 17 fourth-quarter points and a shot to tie it. New York's offense put up 27 points, which is the third time they've been good for 27 or more points three straight weeks.
01:22:34
Speaker 3: Chance for McCarthy, taking.
01:22:36
Speaker 5: A shot, ends up for Whiteley, and this game has turned around quite quickly.
01:22:41
Speaker 1: Can't afford to turn the ball over four times again. McCarthy had a pass intercepted, and they lost a fumble, only four for 14 on third down. Now McCarthy will see if he can keep the late-game momentum going against a Texans D off one of their subpar showings. 31 points allowed to Jacksonville, as mentioned. Third time they've given up more than 30. Let them convert three of their four red zone trips. They're normally fierce. Will Anderson, Daniil Hunter-led pass rush, enters off a donut. Didn't sack Trevor Lawrence once on 41 pass attempts. Their secondary gave up four TDs and over 300 yards to T-Law. Third quarterback they've given up over 300 yards, too.
01:23:24
Speaker 18: Lawrence scans the field. Long throw to the sideline. He's got Jacoby Myers.
01:23:29
Speaker 1: Now, the offenses they've given up big points to? Buffalo, Dallas, and Jacksonville. So Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, and Lawrence. McCarthy wouldn't appear to be on the same shelf as those gents. And how will he fare versus Hunter and Anderson? Chances of them going two games in a row without a bag are low. especially when you consider Winston took four sacks, McCarthy took one, New York's quarterbacks taking three sacks per contest after week six was over.
01:23:57
Speaker 6: James Winston trying to navigate, and suddenly the Saints are surging with some life.
01:24:04
Speaker 1: Houston's DBs gave up a touchdown in 59 yards to Travis Hunter, 64 yards to Parker Washington, 83 yards to Jacoby Myers. Malik Nabors is next level by comparison, comes in hot too, three 100-plus yard games in a row, after going for a season-high 165 versus New Orleans. Derek Stingley versus Neighbors, Hulk Hogan versus Rowdy Roddy Piper level fun. The two to New York's one-two punch, Isaiah Likely, who Ravens fans really want back. 99 yards and a score versus the Saints, 90-plus yards back-to-back weeks, 65-plus and four of six.
01:24:49
Speaker 6: And Charlie Jones last week with a 49-yard catch for a 66-yard day, good enough.
01:24:55
Speaker 3: To get a mention.
01:25:03
Speaker 1: Had only played two games and had zero catches prior to that.
01:25:06
Speaker 3: And it's J.J.
01:25:07
Speaker 6: McCarthy looking for Charlie Jones!
01:25:10
Speaker 3: Down to the 24!
01:25:13
Speaker 1: No Cam Scadaboo last week. They ran Tyrone Tracy six times, Devin Singletary four times. Their rush attack has had trouble getting it going most games in 2026. Only 84 yards total versus New Orleans. Whoever sees the most carries for New York is going to have to work to try and get something going against Houston's front. While they did give up five a run to Chris Rodriguez on his 11 attempts, they held Bashaw Toon to 3.3 per try, are holding running backs to 3.6 a carry for the season.
01:25:43
Speaker 6: And it's Miller who got knocked down on his way to the goal line by D.J.
01:25:47
Speaker 3: Reeder.
01:25:49
Speaker 1: Atlanta at home again for Week 7 on a two-game skid. Snapping it won't be easy either, being one of the unbeatens is rolling into town. San Francisco 49ers streaking through the quad with Frank the Tank, one of three teams left standing without a loss. looking for the nearest KFC and their seventh straight win.
01:26:12
Speaker 12: 40 protected. Evans with a catch.
01:26:16
Speaker 3: Here he goes.
01:26:18
Speaker 1: 49ers looking to start 7-0 for the first time since 2019, but they may need to put a call into Dajon Love. played without Debo Samuel last week, saw Mike Evans leave the game with a sore Achilles.
01:26:30
Speaker 12: Playing with the bad ribs, tight Achilles tendon, and he's leaving.
01:26:34
Speaker 1: So who exactly will Brock Purdy have to work with? And will he have the time to keep looking like BCB? Because this matchup features a Falcons pass rush with the second highest pressure rate in the game, doing battle with a line allowing the least pressure in the game. Purdy having only taken five sacks all year, no team has allowed fewer.
01:26:54
Speaker 12: And Brock Purdy hangs in and delivers it for 22.
01:26:58
Speaker 1: Atlanta has been able to pressure quarterbacks on 42% of their throws, and they have a very low blitz rate. so they're getting it done without sending extra bodies. They have 15 sacks in their six games, picking up four in their loss. Brandon Dorlis, Jervon Dexter, Zedaria Smith all in on the action. Smith leads the team with three and a half bags.
01:27:18
Speaker 7: Just count on everybody.
01:27:19
Speaker 2: That pass rush has no stars, no egos, and sometimes no problem
getting to the quarterback.
01:27:23
Speaker 1: But their secondary hasn't turned that heat into takeaways as they only have one interception all year, and their DB room is banged up too.
01:27:32
Speaker 3: C.J.
01:27:32
Speaker 1: Henderson didn't play last week. Then they watched as Billy Bowman and Avion Terrell both left the game hurt. They gave up over 300 yards to Caleb Williams, a 1-11 rate.
01:27:42
Speaker 3: Rush has time wide open.
01:27:44
Speaker 2: It's Roma, Doontay into Falcon's territory.
01:27:46
Speaker 3: Too easy.
01:27:47
Speaker 1: Now they take on Purdy, who's put up a 100-plus rating in five of six games, over nine yards per attempt versus Washington, over 260 yards with no INTs. He threw his league-leading 14th TD, If he has the weapons, he's as good as it gets right now.
01:28:03
Speaker 12: San Francisco's offense started hot last week, then cooled off in part due to a CMC fumble.
01:28:15
Speaker 1: They only scored 23 points still took care of three of their four red zone trips to maintain their first place standing inside the 20.
01:28:22
Speaker 12: Here's McCaffrey he is in for the touchdown and they are rolling.
01:28:27
Speaker 1: Niners still sitting on a 29 point per game average third highest and it's the number one third down offense against a defense 23rd at forcing fourth downs and Atlanta has allowed 24 plus points three straight games in four of their last five, giving up 25 points per game after getting hit with 31 by Chicago.
01:28:47
Speaker 3: Swift, right up the gut, and touchdown Chicago!
01:28:52
Speaker 1: Their secondary gave up 95 yards to Luther Burden, 65 in a touchdown to Titan Colston Loveland, Purdy leans on a tight end. Most games, of course, could lean on him even more this week, depending on their wideout sitch. He hit George Kittle for his lone TD versus Washington. 69 yards. That's 69-plus in four of his last five.
01:29:12
Speaker 12: Good protection, and Kittle! Hit in stride, and Kittle down to the 32.
01:29:16
Speaker 1: If Evans plays against a depleted Atlanta cornerback room, he could do some things. Had 94 yards before he left Hurt, would be coming off back-to-back 90-plus-yard games.
01:29:27
Speaker 3: Evans with a catch and a roll.
01:29:30
Speaker 12: Evans has got 16 yards and a first down.
01:29:33
Speaker 1: And to McCaffrey, always a threat out of the backfield. Nine catches for 53 yards last week. He added 64 rush yards and two rushing TDs, too.
01:29:42
Speaker 12: That's McCaffrey, and that's a touchdown. I mean, barely touched going into the end zone.
01:29:47
Speaker 1: Atlanta is one of the tougher teams to run on as they're holding teams to 3-6 a carry. held Chicago's rush attack to three per a week ago. But again, they saw linebacker Divine Diablo leave hurt two last week, so we'll have to wait and see if he's good enough to go. This matchup, of course, features two of the best dual-threat backs in the game.
01:30:06
Speaker 3: Robinson! Oh boy! Look out! Bijan!
01:30:10
Speaker 1: But for Bijan Robinson to be dangerous, he needs the ball. He only carried the ball nine times last week. Tell him, Principal Rooney, just nine times. A season low, which partially explains Atlanta's slow start versus Chicago's that left them with just 23 points for the game. Atlanta's 23-week six points matching their season average for points per game, and it's going to be hard to surpass that this week being they face a Niners defense with a D.C. who's really going to want to stick it to them, and whose defense is holding teams to 18 a game, third fewest, held Washington to 17, just three for 12 on third down.
01:30:53
Speaker 12: Quick set up to throw, and that's Diggs, and a drop, and then Diggs gets plowed.
01:30:58
Speaker 1: And their pass rush, which comes off a four-sack game and has nine in their last two games.
01:31:03
Speaker 3: Third down and nine. Daniels in trouble, and sacked.
01:31:08
Speaker 1: Takes on a Falcons line that allowed five a week ago. They've taken 16 overall, too, tied for 24th.
01:31:14
Speaker 3: It's coming. Pennix is dropped. You saw it all the way. Kyler Gordon.
01:31:19
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix has not had to deal with a lot of pressure, though. Atlanta with the second lowest pressure rate faced. He came on late versus Chicago to end the game with three touchdowns, no picks for a 100-plus rating. And San Francisco did just allow Jaden Daniels to go for a 110 rate by allowing two touchdowns to him. and over 260 yards without picking him off.
01:31:45
Speaker 12: Daniels got his man, and it's a touchdown to Rashad White.
01:31:50
Speaker 1: They gave up 66 yards to Traylon Burks, 50 to Antonio Williams, and 69 to tight end Chigokonkwo. Pennix found tight end Kyle Pitts for two touchdowns and a season-high 60 yards He's scored back-to-back weeks.
01:32:04
Speaker 3: Drake London, 62 yards. He had been good for 95-plus his previous three games, and he only caught four of his ten targets last week.
01:32:23
Speaker 1: Jahan Dotson, 87 yards, his season high.
01:32:26
Speaker 3: Jahan Dotson, nice catch and move. He's in the Bears' territory.
01:32:30
Speaker 1: Niners hit with 11 flags versus Washington. What are you going to do these days? Double-digit laundry is almost the norm this season.
