Cowboys deserve huge credit for that win last night. They were supposed to win that game. That was a Steelers celebration, that was a Steelers holiday. It's this beautiful night after the rain and thunder clear in Pittsburgh, and it's TJ. Watts one hundredth sack, and it's history, and it's Snoop waving the terrible towel and wearing a Steelers jacket supposed to be a Steelers holiday. And Dak Prescott said, I don't care. I can't believe he did that, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I love this version of the Cowboys because it's where have you gone? Michael Ervin, Emmett Smith, j Novicchick never mind any of those people. This is Dak Prescott out there making sixty million bucks a year throwing to spare parts like Hunter Lipkey and Rico Dowdle and Jalen Tolbert Ceedee Lambs over there. It had sixty yards something was fine. But I think it's cool that Dak can do this John Wick thing and say, fine, bring it on. I'll fight all these Steelers by myself with this guy from North Dakota State named lip Key.

I think it's great.

I think it's great.

He won that game with not only a really clutch touchdown pass on fourth down at the end of the game, an incredibly clutch fumble recovery on the play before it. So, yeah, they are not greats and they're flawed, and who cares. I bashed the Cowboys all the time when they deserve it. But if you're just doing it constantly after a win on the road at Pittsburgh, you're doing it for sport or clicks or ratings. Ran that stuff everybody purports to hate. Give him credit. That was a gutty win and a clutch win. And how many times you say that about the Cowboys a day after a game. I'm saying it today. Take number two. The Jets just awful. What the hell was that game? Credits to the Vikings, blah blah blah. They did fine. Sam Donald got hit really hard and wasn't the same. They still hung on to win. The Jets offense is so terrible. And it's not just that it's terrible. We've seen a lot of terrible offenses, but outside of the Cleveland Browns, there is not an offense that seems more stagnant, more frozen, more stiff. My impression of the Jets offense. First and ten, crappy run for one and a half yards. Second and nine incomplete pass to Alan Lazard. Third and nine, desperate pass right across the middle to Garrett Wilson that sometimes he catches, sometimes he doesn't. If he catches it, it will be followed by another crappy run for one yard, and if he doesn't, it'll be followed by a punt and Rogers like screaming something in Nathaniel Hackett on the sideline, who's only there because Rogers wants him to be there. It's so weird to watch them take number three. DeVante Adams whenever they land or landed from London, should be standing on the New Jersey tarmac with an edible arrangement that says, I'm a Jet, Now why not do it? I know there's this thing about, well, you can't just keep giving Rogers what he wants. Guys, that ship has sail that is long gone. And when the Jets brain trust flew to Malibu, California to sit in the back lawn overlooking the Pacific at Roger's mansion and woo him to come to the Jets, they signed up for getting him what he wants. He wants what he wants, he asks for it, he gets it, So why stop. Now the fact that you say, well, we're not just gonna pay DeVante all this money and bring them in and the salary explodes next year just because the offense isn't working or Rogers wants them, why not do it? You're two and three. You look terrible. It's like if you're gonna die, go down swinging. This is like someone on death row where they come in and they say what would you like for your final meal before you're executed, and they're like, well, you know, I've had plenty of good food, all right, Just give me some grilled chicken and maybe some asparagus.

No no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Go for it. Get the pheasant.

You're gonna die anyway, you might as well go out big, and maybe maybe the governor signed something at the last second to let you off, and maybe Devoncee joining the Jets give some sort of kickstart.

Whatever they're putting out there now is not going to get to the playoffs, let alone win a playoff game. Take number four. The Bills game was bizarre. I shouldn't even call it the Bills game. I should call it the Texans game.

Houston looked great in the first half, Nico Leeves you never see him again, and Buffalo it wasn't just they were bad. It was just unrecognizable. And if you were worried about the optic or the hashtag narrative, that, well, maybe they do needs to find Diggs after all. Hopefully that doesn't come up in this game. Oh my god, god did it? It was so bad? Alan is trying to make a deep threat out of Dalton kaka at Dalton Kin k does a lot of things. I don't think that's it. Khalilshakiir is hurt. I get it. He's a good player. He knows how I get open. He's not Calvin Johnson. It was really strange. And that's not even counting the fact that I think the Bills just ran another passing play backed up on their own end zone. Sean mcdermoy waited two seconds left the game say yeah, that was my fault. I know, coach, that was so weird. There was no way that that was going to work out right, and it didn't take number five. Lamar's highlights are so so stupid, and I mean that as a compliment. When he retires, they're going to show that play with the double stiff arm and to throw the back of the end zone. If Lamar goes to the Hall of Fame and he's you know, he may win a third MVP this year.

Video vignette before each speaker comes up in their gold jacket to address the crowd and think their high school coach and cry. Lamar's video vignette is going to have that play from this weekend in which he drops the snap, managed to pick it up, drops it again, scrambles to the right, stiff arms a defensive lineman, stiff arms him again, gets to the sideline, gets hit by a linebacker, throws it away. Nope, throws it into the back of the ends on terrible idea. It's caught for a touchdown. That was like six layers of stupid and it was so awesome. I mean, there could be a short form documentary on that play, a long form documentary the Last Dance, but it has to do with one touchdown pass against the Bengals. I'm running way behind schedule. I only got four minutes left. Take Number six is Xavier McKinney on the Packers the best defensive edition in the history of the sport? Do you think I'm being superlative?

He has five interceptions in five games. This guy that they paid so much money as a defensive back to come in to play for Green Bay, which they don't normally do. And he's got five picks in five games, and not like two week two and then two week three, and then one some other time. Each game he has an interception. It's really great Deon Sanders going to the Niners. Never did that, Dean Sanders going to the Cowboys, Champ Bailey going to the Broncos.

You watch the Packers games, You're like, Wow, that defensive back is their MVP. How often do you say that about a team? Take number seven? The Bengals have gone fishing. You know, inside the NBA they do the thing when the team is eliminated from the playoffs, whoever it may be, whatever NBA team, and do a funny photoshop of them on a fishing boat with beers and fish nets and hats and fish hooks and Charles and Kenny, everybody laugh about it. If we did that on Good Morning Football. We did that here, we made a graphic. We would make it for the Bengals, and it's they're gone fishing. After Joe Burrow throw us for five touchdowns in Jamart Chase has nearly two hundred yards and they can't hold the damn field goal and said they lose to the Ravens like they always do. This will be my last take on the Bengals in ten takes for a very very long time, and by that I mean until next season.

Christian McCaffer injury is the strangest thing in the league right now. If Jayden Daniels is the best show in the league, and he is, Christian mccaffery's injury is so weird. How is it that we are in an era of constant information for every single insider, then every single wanna be insider, and then every single wanna be wanna be insider?

And no one has bubkiss on the offensive player of the year, maybe like missing the entire year or not or beaten back. This has been strange from the get go, right before the first game, where he used to clear it out. Here we are it's going into mid October now, and still it's not that he's out, it's that we don't really totally get how long he's going to be out, or maybe even why he's going to be out. It's just bizarre cryptic reports about him flying to Germany, which is really encouraging. And then it's his left leg it's his right leg, it's both his legs, and meanwhile the Niners keep losing and they need him.

It sounds a very strange segue from Christian McCaffrey. I'm hearing a lot Angeles right now. I'm usually in New York, where I live with my family, So after my morning duties of football, I had like seven or eight hours to just wander around by myself and sit in my hotel room and look at the ac units form my first floor room. And yesterday I was going to be interviewing someone today who likes to get manicures in the NFL. I walk across the street, I walk into this little strip mall nail place, and I say I would like a manicure, and they sit down and I was speaking to what appeared to be about a four hundred year old woman who was two feet tall, and there was a significant language barrier in which I was trying to tell her, can you paint my nails the colors of the Chicago Bears? And this is in the West Side in California. I don't think she knows about the Chicago Bears. I don't think I don't think she knows Chicago. And I somehow made it work. I have orange and I have blue, and I'll tell you why shortly. I have thirty seconds left. But shout out to the lady at that salon who I paid with a cash tip. Generous cash tip by my dad. Take number ten. CAYLEB Williams is a different dude. He paints his nails. He does not napologetically. I did it because I sat down with him today for the first time ever I met him. I interviewed him different. He doesn't apologize for it. We got into everything about him, his background, how many Super Bowls he wants to win, how he's chasing Tom Brady, how he keeps his goals as the wallpaper of his phone so you can always look at him.

I have a lot more to say about that, but the Caleb Williams and ever will be coming the next few days. Look for breakouts, look for everything that's it. I promise ten takes. I deliver ten takes. I did it in ten minutes, like I do every single time. It should be like the old fashioned pizza delivery was back in the eighties and nineties, that if it's late, you get it for free or something. If I go over ten minutes dramatically with my takes, I should be able to give you five takes for free or something like that, or give you like an iHeart gift bag.
