SNF Reaction

Overrated or Underrated

John breaks down another exciting Sunday Night Football matchup, this time with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys defeating Justin Fields’ red-hot Pittsburgh Steelers, 20-17. Following a “signature” late game Cowboys dub, which included an exciting score with little time remaining, John celebrates the 4th quarter comeback and explains why despite a win Dallas could struggle to be a playoff contender due to their offensive woes. John dives into Dak Prescott’s turnover struggles and breaks down how the Cowboys QB1 stepped up late to help Head Coach Mike McCarthy and co. capture a much-needed victory.

After, Middlekauff goes off on Justin Fields and the quarterback disparity between Pittsburgh and Dallas.

Finally, another edition of overrated/underrated including the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers losing a tough game against Justin Jefferson’s Minnesota Vikings and the reigning MVP Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens taking down Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime.
