Former NFL scout John Middlekauff is reacting LIVE immediately following the Week 15 Monday Night Football matchup between Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins vs. Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh Steelers. John kicks off talking about Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa's inability to play in cold weather games & why the Dolphins may need to get rid of Tua. John then talks about the Pittsburgh Steelers playoff picture after Dolphins win gives them a one game lead on the Baltimore Ravens leading the AFC North with 3 games to go. John talks about how 49ers will probably not go to the Super Bowl but why it could be Kyle Shanahan's best coaching year of his career with the absurd amount of injuries to his star players. John also talks about how the Packers look moving forward without star edge rusher Micah Parsons ahead of a high stakes NFC North road battle against the NFC first place Chicago Bears this upcoming Saturday night, and what this could mean for head coach Matt LaFleur's future with the team. Lastly, John dives into his DMs and discusses the trend of older quarterbacks starting in the NFL & why teams pull the trigger to start guys like Joe Flacco & Philip Rivers than players they don't trust like Anthony Richardson.

Reaction to Aaron Rodgers & Steelers DOMINATING Tua & Dolphins on MNF

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/5a53222d-1865-4759-975a-b3b500a58cd1/transcript

Former NFL scout John Middlekauff is reacting LIVE immediately following the Week 15 Sunday Night Football matchup between J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings vs. Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. John kicks off by reacting to J.J. McCarthy's big game in a win vs. the Cowboys on SNF. John explains why it is good for McCarthy to continue to play well so that he can develop his relationship with his head coach Kevin O'Connell and his star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. John then questions what is going wrong with the Cowboys and George Pickens as the reciever seems disinterested for the second time in two weeks.

John then reacts to the major NFL injuries sustained in Week 15, including ACL injuries to Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Green Bay Packers' Micah Parsons, hamstring injury to Los Angeles Rams' Devante Adams, and a PCL injury to San Francisco 49ers' Rickey Pearsall. John then admits he was wrong about the Chicago Bears and that they look like a team that could potentially capture the top seed in the NFC. Next, John reacts to Josh Allen's spectacular comeback vs. divisional rival Patriots led by Drake Maye.

John then reacts to Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix playing the game of his life vs. the Packers as well as Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bouncing back vs. Joe Burrow and the CIncinatti Bengals. John then talks about Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' struggles vs. the Bears and he can fend off the organization drafting another QB in the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft.John wraps up by debating if Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Caroll should've stayed retired and applauds Indiapolis Colts QB Phillip Rivers for coming out of retirement.
