ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Three weeks into the NFL season and somehow we’re more confused than ever. Fitz & Whit try to make sense of the bizarre start to the season, but remember, September is just the trailer. We’re going to find out a lot more about these teams when the real story starts to unfold.
Then, the guys address the question nobody wants to ask…Is Drake Maye the problem? He just might be. They break down what’s gone wrong before getting into one of the biggest themes of the season: EVERYONE IS LYING. Defenses are disguising, offenses are scheming, and nothing is what it seems.
Plus, Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Fitz & Whit to preview Steelers-Browns on Thursday Night Football and talk about what’s really going on with his former team. And don’t forget to check out his very own Hall of Fame Farms at https://www.halloffamefarms.com/
