Good Morning Football.

This is our show, Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper Beef Turkey, live in LA and New York City. It's Monday, the week of Thanksgiving. Here's who we have in attendance today.

Isaiah stand back at.

The table, Peter Schrager as well, Kyle Brandt, ak Barbaja Biamilla, and I am Jamie r at All. Excellent to see everybody today.

Everybody feel good about themselves.

I feel real good, great, goodnight. Can I tell you something.

I just I just I did that spin move and I was so scared that I was gonna pop an Achilles Terra.

I feel great.

I feel I feel invigor rated, and I feel amazing.

I feel like I almost want to do it. No, they gonna mess around. Throw you in the Madden game. Yeah, Oh, Kyle, hook that up. Let's go.

You're boosted.

I will.

I mean, I like this new adventurous Peter, Like he does one spin and next thing you know, he's kite surfing with Richard Branson.

Like Peter, just be free, baby, find yourself. I'm eating.

I'm meaning the hottest ship on it a show, you know.

Man, Oh my gosh, Kyle, we block?

Should we do it?

Let's ironic. Kyle's doing the highlight from New York. The game happen fifty yards from here, Kyle, take it away.

Thirty to fourteen.

Saquon's gone, I'm just gonna ruin it for you right now. They did not physically touch him on the play. The blocking was good. The speed is better. It's so exhilarate and mean. You see a running back who doesn't get caught, you know, on the five to ten yard line.

There just aren't a ton of them.

The corners and DB's they're so fast they usually will run them down. Saquon is actually gaining ground on the rams dB as he pulled away. He's a really special specimen.

Thirty seven twenty.

They got to be thinking, maybe we can get the one seed, but the Lions will have to lose eventually in the meantime.

Oh old buddy.

Melissa Stark with the two superstars on the Philadelphia Eagles after the win.

Well, you told me earlier that you're having the most fun now and that you're letting yourself celebrate.

We saw you blow a kiss to the crowd. How much fun is all of this?

I mean, I got a fresh start. I'm around a great group of guys. You know, the whole organization is a major We talked about them and welcome me in.

We'll open on.

So I'm having fun. I'm ready to go out there and continue to play at a high level and get ready.

For next week.

Jalen's laughing over here.

Why are you laughing?

Just to enjoin the moment.

You got a hell of a player. Happy to have them. That's awesome.

Congratulations guys, and.

A little bit of a punch.

But it's also like, these guys know what their off seasons were.

How about the Lions came.

So close last year?

Certainly they'd go through some real growing pains in the stretch of the season. All these AFC South teams not quite Lions go into Indianapolis McAfee, by the way, awesome. On our pregame show yesterday, here an NFL network talking about his stuff with the cults.

Very interesting inside.

Baseball, but also very entertaining. Here come the Lions. They absolutely blow out the Colts in Indy. Jared Goff, lot of Lions fans travel to Indianapolis.

Okay, so Eagle's good Lions, good Vikings, You good Vikings.

Eke one out in Chicago doesn't matter.

Divisional win is massive, final thirty to twenty seven, and there it is everybody.

After a very impactful.

Sunday and week twelve, you've got three teams, the Lions, the Packers, and the Vikings from the NFC North with a playoff spot. But as we look at the NFC as a whole, Peter, you look at the entire pie as it is a week that we will consume pie on Thursday. Pick your favorite, pick your slice. What are you just going to engorge on?

I think it's fun now.

I feel like it's kind of seeing the cream rise. And then you see in that playoff picture and it's like, well, the Falcons and the Seahawks are playoff teams also, guys, and you're like, let's talk about the top teams here, Because just as we were crowning the line ins, the Eagles got really hot. And I think the Eagles performance last night on National TV matters. I think the rest of the country started paying attention. Two weeks ago, Kyle Brant came on the NFL network and.

Was like, Saquon could be the MVP guys.

And if Jalen Hurts didn't steal all those touchdowns at the goal line, he would have the numbers where we'd be talking MVP. Yesterday, I'm online after coming home from that Rams game, which I.

Was at, and it's like all.

The luminaries and sports media like, you know what, I think Saquon should be MVP.

It's the national TV games. They matter. Well, guess what, the Eagles.

They play the Ravens next week, and I think this is going to be a monster game that everyone's going to watch. And it's Saquon versus Derrick Henry, and it's the two top guys who are running back, both ironically free agent signings who other teams didn't want to retain.

But you look at what they have here the Eagles.

They should win out. They should win out. They don't have to get on a flight the rest of the way they play their division opponents. I'm sorry, those final three weeks, they don't cause any fear for me right now if I'm.

An Eagles fan. The only two teams.

That you're looking at there that really scary are the Ravens and the Steelers. The Steelers lost to the Browns on Thursday, and the Ravens have their own issues.

Philly is coming and.

They are hot, and they are the team that now everyone's on. It's almost like we got board with the Lions as a country. Like watching the they haven't been on tational television. They came back from the Texans, whe they didn't blow them out. They come back, go off through five picks. This is gonna be really fun down the stretch because I feel like the Eagles just got the national audience watching when a lot of Philly fans had already known that this team was picking up steam coming into this game last night.

Yeah, that steam is real.

But there's steam that is being lost for the Washington Commanders, and it is very concerning. I look at their performance and I think to the fact that, you know, this brings up some familiar issues that we've seen with the offensive coordinated Cliff Kingsbury and what he did in Arizona when we saw, you know, he had a trend where his offense about the midway point of the season starts to tailor down and is going the wrong direction. We're seeing that and this is this is not gonna bode well for the Washington Commanders. There's so much excitement at the beginning of the year. Just a couple of weeks ago, they were sitting there, you know, at the sixth seed. Now we're seeing them kind of drop down to the seventh seed, and there is a potential with the Rams and with the Cardinals kind of screaming behind me, even the forty nine ers making a case that this production continues.

To go on, we're gonna have some real issues.

They've now lost three games in a row, and on top of that, their offense has just gotten stale. They need something different, a new wrinkle to add into the offense. Because the one thing we know, and I think that we've seen throughout with Cliff Kingsbury and his offense, is that defensive coordinators are savvy.

They're gonna figure it out. I mean, you had new toys, new tools.

You have Jaydon Daniels obviously Terry McLaurin him going off, and now defensive like, oh, I've seen what you've done before. I know how to do this, I know how to stop this. They have to make a change otherwise this is going to go from one of those stories that was like, oh man, we're so excited to like, what a travesty?

Please do not let this be a travesty. Let me ask real quick, would you? I mean, because I agree with you.

It's been disastrous the last few weeks and if they don't get the hell Mary, it's probably four weeks of losses.

They do not look like they did.

If you were a Commander's fan and you said, hey, Thanksgiving weekend, you're going into it. You're seven and five and you're in the last wild card spot, would you have signed up for it?

Yes?

Absolutely, you say, Okay, I don't know if we were supposed to go to the playoffs anyway this year, but it's hard to tell a rational fan that considering how excited we got in September and October.

Yeah, they bought into it. They're already there, so now you have to deliver. And it to me, I think it's just adding new wrinkles to the offense.

We've done that before as players.

You know, we've seen it where coaches go, Okay, hey, we're at this midway point, we're gonna add this wrinkle in here. We've not practiced this, let's do this. They're gonna anticipate like, hey, here's what the stats are saying that we're doing We're gonna try something different. That's what I love to see, that type of change for the Commanders.

Yeah, the Commanders is gonna figs it out.

But you know who I need to continue to figure it out, My Seattle Seahawks.

I need my Seattle Seahawks. Already.

Yes, I'm from Seattle on the stage, claim everything Seattle. But listen up, the Seattle Seahawks are sitting at the top. I'm gonna run that back at the top of the NFC West. And that whole division is a mess right now. Everybody's either five and six or six and five. It's all it's all messy. But this is the thing. Seattle Seahawks have won back to back divisional games, and that's what really sets them apart. They obviously took care of business against the Cardinals. They also took care of business against San Francisco the last few weeks. They have the Jets coming up next. We feel pretty good about that out of their two out of their next six games are tough games.

Outside of that is.

Really not that difficult for these guys.

Going forward.

They have to take on the Packers, they have to take on the Bike ins two of those next six games, but every other game you feel good about. Geno Smith is not playing amazing right now. The running game is not amazing right now. Their defense is not amazing right now. But they're still winning important games. So if you're just looking for one aspect of their team to really catch fire, if they can figure that out, then these guys are going to be in a good position. I love everything that they have in terms of personnel, but they have to find a way to get this thing clicking together. They can get that offense rolling with Kenneth Walker to third, they can get Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf and all those weapons going, and then if this defense can show up, then you have a team that you have to worry about in the playoffs. But right now they're just kind of sputtering. I'm just waiting for that flame to catch. But in two it does, they're still sitting at the top of their divisions.

I heard this on a cool podcast at the trade deadline two years ago when the Ravens acquired Brokwon Smith and what a difference that made on the Mike McDonald defense and now the trade that they had with Ernest Jones from Tennessee and the difference that he's playing out of his mind too. So like what Mike McDonald can do at the halfway point with a new linebacker, Kyle.

Where do you go?

Well, Seattle has the makings of the come running team that we're looking for in the NFC and this potential, but I still look at the big dogs. I still look at the NFC North, especially after what we saw yesterday.

Just an ad lib of power ranking.

Right now, I think the NFC North has two of the top four teams the NFL. I have it as Lions, Bills, Eagles, and then Packers. I'm not exactly sure where the Vikings fit in they survive the Bears, but I love team.

I talked about the Lions earlier.

There's so much attention because they win your fantasy leagues, and I'm monra and the running backs and all that, and that's great. The defense is playing the best football in the league. They haven't allowed a second half point in three straight games. They didn't allow a touchdown yesterday, so they are crushing teams. It's not just Montgomery, it's not just everybody on the offense.

It is all the defense. And they listen.

Once we start getting down the stretch here, who can run? Who has a reliable kicker? Did you see kickers yesterday in the league? Do you feel pretty good about them right now? If you're Houston, if you're somebody like Washington, the brick sales when Jake Bates is money.

The Lions have a kicker.

But I also want to look at the Packers because I don't know, outside of Saquon Barkley, maybe a couple other guys. If I was more impressed by anybody at any position yesterday than Josh Jacobs, Oh my god, he was good. What he did to San Francisco. He ran right the hell through them. And these are guys that we know. These are the Fred Warners, these are the guys we've watched for years. Josh Jacobs looked awesome every single play. His first care the game was like a twenty yard run. And that's the kind of day you knew it was in for it. So again, down the stretch, you know the Packers are going to play some outdoor games. Josh Jacobs is gonna be that guy that carries them. Their wide receivers are kind of a radic and Jordan Love still throws a lot of interceptions, even though he's cleaned yesterday. Josh Jacobs is going to be a very pivotal player in the NFC. Teams that can kick and teams that can run. The Lions have both. I think the Packers have both. The Vikings, I'm not exactly sure. It was a weird games. They have a very good record. I still have them as third in the NFC North, but that division is loaded, and I still think the Lions are the best team in football. Peter says, they've gone away for a while. I haven't been a national TV get ready for a lot of Lions this week. This is Lions week, this is Lions season. I don't care if they play the Bears on Thursday. There's thirty forty million people are gonna watch that game.

You'll get a lot of Lions.

Well, specifically for Thanksgiving. The Lions deserveant because to Kyle's point, he brought it up last week, there was a season of life where people were just like do away with the Lions on Thanksgiving. Kyle said, no, hold strong, we are going to keep him on the holiday.

And now they earn their national spotlight rightfully, so.

Do away with the Cowboys. Huh.

I that's fine, Well, we will talk about it. Ian Rappaport, good morning to you.

How do you think losing a guy like Brandon Graham affects the Eagles power rankings for some people?

I'm not sure losing Brandon Graham effects the power rankings, but I do think it affects the locker room.

And let's get to what we were talking about.

Brandon Graham out for this season with a torn tricep, news that he actually broke himself to reporters and would seemed to be a random post game locker room interview situation.

He said, how you doing? He said, well, I'm out for the season. I'm done. I just tore my tricept.

Brandon Graham MA a great guy, fifteen year member of the Philadelphia Eagles, seventy six and a half sacks, one of their leaders. Now going to have to do it while being on the sideline. It hurts their depth, yes, but I would say in the locker room hurts more, though he will continue to be present. Meanwhile, one of these stories that we have been tracking really for more than a week now, Daniel Jones and the New York Giants He of course, was officially placed on waiver Saturday, expected to clear four pm today, and at that point I wouldn't be surprised to be signed fairly quickly, maybe even today. Also could do what a lot of veterans have done, which to sign on a practice squad and just kind of bide your time, learn and wait. A couple intriguing options for Daniel Jones want forty nine Ers if this Rock.

Perdy injury is worse than they expect.

The Ravens always look to improve their roster and backup quarterback would be a good spot. And then the Las Vegas Raiders, who just lost Gardner Minshew for the season, potential option there for Daniel Jones and guys I mentioned. Brock Purdy obviously did not play extra day in a tough, tough forty nine Ers loss.

Ie The forty nine ers are thinking right now, maybe there's a chance he plays this week.

He is going to be reevaluated today, get another MRI, some more tests, just to see is this an injury that he can somehow play with. Doesn't seem structurally like much, but the fact that he just couldn't really get loose, couldn't throw last week.

Not a good sign.

The forty nine ers need something notice splash because their percentage of making the playoffs goes down with every passing week.

But we just can't let them go.

The team going in the other direction, rapt Thank you so much are the Bucking Broncos. As we start to jockey for position in the playoff picture, we got to take a look at teams that are lurking in the AFC, those that hang on the line because the Broncos and bo Nicks, the campaign they have put together has been impressive. And speaking of campaign, feeling pretty good about my offensive Rookie of the Year for bow Knicks pick Kyle not bad.

I don't think you should feel any any guilt about that one. Jamie plus total the arts from Sunday Night Football the Los Angeles Rams two hundred and ninety. Saquon Barkley three hundred and two outgained the Rams all by himself. I think he's the most valuable player in the league. He probably won't win it because he doesn't throw the ball enough.

We're getting in everything playoffs, game balls.

Peter's Coach of the Week at cmfpre my day.

Good morning.

All right, we haven't talked about the defending champions who are given a heck of a battle by the young Carolina Panthers. Let's go to over here twenty seven, twenty seven fourth quarter.

Mahomes does what Mahomes does. Scott Hansen was like, it was like the Tiger Woods line, Like, because excellent, this is what we see. Uh, how come.

Spencer Trader, remember fucker is on the IR Trader wearing number forty, nails it for the game winner as time expires, does not go off the officials head, Jamie, No, it's.

Not that was earlier. That one was that one counted.

Chiefs win in a very quiet AFC day, Like there was not a lot of AFC marquee matchups Chiefs, heltzerf.

Here ten and one. But you look at that wildcard.

We have an awesome matchup tonight between the Chargers and Ravens here in La. A lot of interesting things going on with this conference as well.

That says there's kind of a loud game on Thursday that had some impacts and then the weekend settled in the AFC, well, they were just quiet compared to the NFC, and that's cool.

Everyone's got to have their day. But if you just have to look at the AFC.

Side of things, or who made the loudest statement for you.

I think the Denver Broncos are making statements every week. We're talking about the Commanders and how they've fallen off a cliff, no pun intended, they've fallen off a cliff, and it's like a real rookie quarterback they hit a wall. They haven't had to buy. You can make a million different excuses. The Broncos have a rookie quarterback, have not had a buy and they just continue to win.

I thought when you lose the way they did to.

The Chiefs, the blocked field goal at the end of the game, and it's like, all right, that's going to take the wind at.

A lot of sales.

And yet Sean Payton got his guys to get right back on the horse and they just continue to play the way do. They kicked the snot out of the Falcons last week, and then they go into Vegas, which I know it's not the seventy six Steelers here, but to go on the road in the division and still put on a whoop in the way they did truly impressive. I think the statement is this, we're not going anywhere. They've got a couple of big games coming up, including a game that was flexed into Thursday night here in La Chargers Broncos at the end of the season, which might decide whether they're a playoff team or not. And I would just say this, the sixth quarterback taken in this rookie class, and Jamie, I know you predicted it. He might be in the driver's sea right now for offensive Rookie of the Year that is bo Nix. He continues to win, he continues to play efficiently, and he continues to get Sean Payton the quarterback play they did not have last year with Russell Wilson and whoever else was under center.

I see what you did there.

The question is who made the loudest statement in the AFC, Right, I'm gonna say the Ken City Chiefs.

Okay, hey, yeah, and I'm not saying it in a good way. I looked at the Kent City Chiefs won the game.

That's all that matters, aside from the fact that you got taken overtime by Bryce Seng and the Carolina Panthers. In eight of your ten victories this year have come by one position. Yeah, So and the only loss that you have comes to the only team that really mattered.

On your Chiefs fans are gonna let you up. And it wasn't overtime. B they won the game.

See this is how they played football, Isaiah, you better be ready to take the heat.

Chiefs fans are listening.

Listen, they can listen all they want to. They're winning by minute margins. And the thing is, the team that you needed to be concerned about was the Buffalo Bills.

What happened in that game?

And I know we're gonna say the regular season, they always losing to the Bills in the regular season. I know that's the story. I know that's the argument. But this is not the same Chiefs team. And we all know that. We know that they're gonna find a way to win. We know that Andy Reid is gonna do his thing, He's gonna work his magic. The next man's gonna stand up. Travis Kelsey is not doing his thing, so there's a go A guy by the name of that Noah.

Gray steps up and he does his thing.

So there's always gonna be a next man up, Isaiah. Pa Checko is probably gonna find his way back and you're gonna have the running game back. But this is not the same Chiefs team, and I'm and I'm concerned that if they don't find the firepower on offense like they once have, that they're only gonna be the back to back champs and they're not gonna have an opportunity after three times.

I have a similar take, but on a totally different side. I think the loudest statement on Sunday has to be the thirty two to twenty seven loss from the title the Titans beating the Houston Texans, and to me, watching CJ Stroud him struggle in this game gave me a lot of pause and a lot of concern because they were doing so well, especially carrying off of what he did in his rookie year. His sophomore year, everybody's excited. It was a little rough, but you thought, ah, he'll work it out, he'll shake it off. It hasn't gotten that way, and it's been really, really bad now. He's also admitted, like, you know what, I take responsibility and I love this about him, but you can't do this right here.

You see this right here?

Yeah, that's the safety. You can't do that giving up points. You have to have of course awareness, right, you can't be doing the Dan Latsky's but he threw two interceptions in this game. He also one of those interceptions was in a critical down. But he's not the only one to blame in this situation. The offensive line. They have to you, we have to take a serious look at this offensive line because they are going to be a liability to this offense and to this team. When you think about the fact that Joe Mixing, who's been outstanding, he's averaging one point six yards a game. In this game, fourteen carries for twenty two yards. That can't happen. You have to be able to create lanes for Joe Mixon to be able to give the offense some sort of variety. They didn't have that variety in this type of game. And the fact that this offensive line not only cost him offensively, they couldn't even overcome and put out enough production to take advantage of excuse me, to take advantage of the massive defensive performance by this Houston Texas team.

They had a lot of sacks coming up, they.

Had a lot of pressure, and they could not capitalize on the defense. There was literally just handing them here you go take this opportunity. They couldn't do anything with it. We gotta watch out because I don't know that the Houston Texans is going to be able to go far in the playoffs if they continue to play like those.

Are two horrendous losses.

The Lions game. In this game as it and Fairbarn came out there, he could have won the game. He's been nailing everything. He's a record breaker. He misses.

So, Kyle, I'm curious your.

Thoughts, but to me, I'm with Acbar like Houston. I can't get behind Houston after two of the last three weeks, losing the way they did at home.

I don't enjoy saying c. J. Stratt is playing poorly. He's playing poorly over the last three games. He doesn't look like himself at all. The body languages where he's not playing well at all. And I defy anybody to hype the Houston Texans. But you're not allowed to talk about what division they're in. It's like the best thing they have going for him is the Colts and the Jaguars and the Titans, who, by the way, they just lost to.

Here's my statement.

My statement is lookout, lookout, that right now, the eight the eight seed right now in the AFC playoffs is Miami Dolphins. Look Out, they've won three in a row. Look Out Tua exuding confidence, just chucking touchdowns all over the field.

If you just watched the last couple of weeks.

You would think this is the Dolphins machine that we've come to expect under Mike mcdown. You would not think that they were at two and six team. But here's the deal. This is plain and simple. We have a very loaded matchup this week for the Dolphins in which they go to Lambeau at night on Thanksgiving, and every single storyline about weather and conditions, are they soft on flashbacks to Arrowhead. Guys have already looked, maybe we could be the first show in the world to do it. Twenty three degrees at Lambeau on Thursday night. The Dolphins come in on a three game win streak. If they win in Lambeau, it's a very good Packers team in the elements on Thanksgame, everybody watching.

Then it's four in a row. Then it's look the hell out.

If they lose, listen, it's like, yeah, we knew we were fraud. You can't win in the cold we don't need you in the playoffs. But I think it is nothing more exciting than the Dolphins and Tua and McDaniel and Tyreek and Waddle to come tearing down the stretch. If here's my take, if they win Thursday night, and it's a huge if. If the Dolphins win Thursday Night, they're going to the playoffs. They will get in the playoffs if they win Thursday, and if they don't, it's over.

It's really like that is their season on Thursday.

I think if they win, they're gonna get in and they're gonna win like seven of the last eight or something.

But it's a big if. I like that.

Sell job.

I was a little wried about the AFC question as a whole, but Kyle, I appreciate that and the prediction for this week. Perhaps it's because tonight a massive AFC patches happened.

A matchup is.

Happening between the Chargers and the Ravens busy weekend at SOFI Stadium, so we still have that to look forward to on Monday Night, Football Week twelve, game balls. I already just said I'm going non player off bar.

You have to go first. Where do you send your singular game ball.

I'm going to go straight to an NFC North team and I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings, Your Minnesota Vikings, and I'm going to go with Jordan Addamson Addison. Jordan Addison eight reception, one hundred and sixty two yards in a touchdown.

This guy just had a monster game.

He leaves the team with deep targets this season and he has been outstanding, especially when you think about the way the Chicago Bears, the way they were playing justin Jefferson and you need that other receiver to step up in a big way, and he was a big reason why they were able to pull off this victory. Shout out game ball going to Jordan Addison.

I'm gonna get that ball. You go there. I'm going to go to last night's game.

As I've said earlier in the show, I was in the building, and I don't know if I've ever witnessed a performance like we saw from Saquon Barkley two hundred and fifty five yards including two yards of seventy two runs of seventy yards or more, and did so on a national television advised audience that was all watching and watching with baited breath and an unbelievable performance.

Last night was the Saquon game.

We're going to look back at the best games of the season. This might not be the best game of the season. This might be the best individual performance of the season. And does it with such humility, does it with such grace. It doesn't look to show up the opponent, doesn't look to do anything to get that makes it about him.

It's all about his team.

It is truly incredible to watch Saquon and do so in his first year in Philadelphia, considering how it all went down on national television on a reality TV show, seeing him be told, hey, go find your price on the market, pretty incredible that he's answered the way he has And what a performance last night.

I like it. I like it. I like it. I know I'm sitting down, but I want to do my little dance and I dud my nice.

Oh Jayalen Wattle, baby, I'm going with Dayalen Wattle with the Miami Dolphins.

This dude was doing his day. And it's not just the big plays.

When you think about Jaylen Watto, when you think about Tyreek Hill, you think about their big playability. Well, when they're taking away Tyreek Hill, there has to be somebody else to step up.

Well, Jaylen Watto did that.

He stepped up eight catches, one hundred and forty four yards and a tuddy. He's finding all the space in all the zones. He's being a cerebral player, and he's making them not only guard him over the top, but underneath coverage as well. He turned into a real asset for those guys watch out for the Wuatta Waddle.

I had one player in mind, and then I talked myself into a different player.

And then I thought, you know.

What if one GM and goes out and gets two free agents in the off season, and then those two gentlemen make such an impact on a team, then you gotta go.

Brian Gudokun's the GM. That's my game ball.

Because if Goody can go out and say Giants, you're cast off, Savi, You're McKinney, your mine, Josh Jacobs, you're a Raiders.

Cast off, Aaron Jones, thank you for your service. We're gonna let you walk. We're gonna bring in Josh Jacobs.

And for these two to have the impacts in these games, for me to not be able to decide where to split the game ball. Then I got to go to the man who decided to bring those two here. And let's not forget the impact that Malik Willis had early this season to trade for the backup quarterback in August to keep the Packers afloat. While you may call them my Minnesota Wakings, I will not forget the fact that I put the Packers in the Super Bowl incept in September as to.

Peter, And if Peter does it, then I always fel very proud about.

So.

Brian Goodakunz, you get my game ball today.

Yeah, listen, I can't speak for Goodakoons, but I also imagine he's probably having a great time watching the Jets this year too.

Hey, great season goods.

I mean, come on, GMFB game balls. They're not to just the best players in league. We do these individuals to our whatever our tastes are. Of course, to a time about Loa Josh Jacobs deserve a game ball. But I'm giving mind to Will Levis at the Tennessee Titans, and I'm.

Doing it with great gusto and respect.

Will Levis has had the but Jesus kicked out of him this year. Will Levis was sacked eight times yesterday and still got off the mat to throw the game winning I understand that he.

Threw a pick six. It was a bad play.

And then he gets mean, he gets crazy. The Internet likes to laugh at Will Levis. The Internet will laugh at me for this segment picking Will Levis. I do not care whatsoever. I like his attitude, I like the style he plays with. He's got this feeling of like a kind of a young excitable traits of Baker Mayfield type deal.

And maybe someday he'll end up there.

Right now, he goes and he wins this division game, and for a Titans team that had been forgotten about and not talked about because of their record, he'd been forgotten about, he'd been mocked, and he was even mocked in the game. Not here, not not from this show. We celebrate guts and we celebrate glory as much as we do the very best players in the league. Will Levis gets my game, boy, I apologize for nothing.

I like you as a fan of GMFB.

If you want to make Kyle's game ball to Will Levis your head scratcher, then so be it. Can you still have that segment coming up on the Show and coach of the week. Who is the maestro for Peter Schrager this weekend?

Why not be?

You think, oh, a little bit of a deeper cut here, We're gonna give some.

Love to a coach who had an awesome performance yesterday.

Let's gootall on the show.

Every Monday, I do the coach of the week. It could be a head coach, it could be a coordinator, it could be a young assistant. In this case, I want to go to Miami where Anthony Weaver, the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, deserves some flowers. What the Dolphins did to Drake May and the Patriots through the first three quarters of this game was an absolute clinic. May came in having an outstanding last few weeks, a win against Chicago, a really good effort against that Rams defense, and there was a lot of hope that the Patriots could get hot and maybe do something this.

See Nope, that was all done, and it was done button.

By the great Miami defense.

Chop Robinson, the rookie out of Penn State, could have been a game ball winner.

Was all over the field.

That Zach Siler, you see him and Anthony Weaver's story's kind of cool. Was with the Texans for years as a coach. They went to the Ravens, was the assistant head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, and then he got offered this gig to go and do the Miami job, and he took it.

As Zach Orr took.

Defensive coordinator in Baltimore, Anthony Weaver went and joined Mike McDaniel, going for almost a lateral position, but said, I really want to do stuff on my own in Miami, and he's doing it. Anthony Weaver. Last night, this defense silenced a Patriots offense that had one of the hottest rookie quarterbacks going in. We see the work, we see the effort, and Sherry Burris, I know you appreciate a good performance. Meanwhile, out in New York, it wasn't exactly the same thing.

No, it's been tough sledding, needless to say. Now, the Giants, they did turn to Tommydivito to try and salvage the season after Daniel Jones was grinted his release on Friday, but their offensive woes continued Sunday against the Buccaneers. Tommy Cutlets and the offense man aged just forty five total yards in the first half of the Giants guys were shut out over the first three quarters. Wide receiver Molikue Neighbors ending up leading the team with sixty four yards receiving but zero catches in the first half, as he was clearly frustrated in the locker room after the game.

Let's see the quarterback. Same oncome when we had DJ at quarterbacks. Take a look, take a look and ink the quarterback? So anything, what is it? Oh quarterback? I don't know what it is.

Is it the play?

Everybody know better than me?

Is it the play?

Let's take three more? As I don't know what it is.

I know I'm chumping that gum hard as he said, it is not the quarterback. But looking at that quarterback position for the Raiders. NFL Network insiders Ian Rapaport and Mike Grifullow reporting Raiders quarterback Garnament Chew.

Will miss the rest of the season.

After suffering a broken collarbone in Sunday's loss. We see there they lost to the Broncos, so desbin Ritter took over for Las.

Vegas after Minshoe's injury.

Well, all the wacky and wild moments between the Cowboys and Commanders.

This game was nuts.

Wasn't crazy enough to land them in our next even head scratchers next?

This is why you tune in to find out who score is presented by DraftKings Sportsbook. Guys, should we go through who we think is going to score first to night in the Monday night football game?

Peter, it's a really good matchup it is. It's the Hard Bowl.

Obviously we haven't even gotten into the two brothers yet. You'll hear plenty about it tonight. They would be only fitting for them to do something wacky and zany. And there's a guy who plays both ways for both teams.

You've got Patrick Riccard on the Ravens, then you got this guy for the Chargers. That's Scott Mattlock. Scott Mattlock. They say tight end, but he might as well be full back. He might as all be defensive tackle. He also might as well be h back.

I predict in a wink of the eye and a glint of his eye that Jim Harbaugh is going to give the rock to Scout Mattlock, number forty four. He's gonna be the first one to score tonight. It's plus twenty two hundred. If you're watching Good Morning Football this morning and I say this doesn't happen, forget I ever said it. If it does happen, I want you to blow up my time on rush because I think Scott Mattlock is.

Gonna be the first guy to score, and.

We're gonna get him on national television and we're not gonna be able to get his face. There's only one time. There was too many times. Probably here we go, Isaiah, I'm running with the bella.

Well, I'm gonna go with somebody that I call mister old Faithful, and that is mister Mark Andrews himself.

That dude is the guy.

He only gets the ball anywhere from two to five times a game, but usually it results in the touchdown. So if you guys are trying to figure out who's gonna score first, you might want to put your money on mister Mark Andrews because he.

Is old faith on the ridzone.

Okay, here we go, all right, I'm gonna go with the younger brother's running back, mister j K. Dobbins. This running back is slithering through the offensive line like JK. Dollins Harry Potter, So I'm gonna go JK. Dobbins on this one.

I really like.

A win too, for the younger brother get his first win against big brother. I'm a young brother, so I get it all right.

I say, Dereck Henry, listen, Dovins, Andrews, those are good choices.

I don't think Peter.

Took the segment seriously here. I don't think you respected the people from DraftKings. I think you're just not respecting the people who might wager on this. I don't think you really think it's going to be Scott Matt Locke. I do think it's going to be Derek Henry and Peter take the segment serious.

It's a very important segment.

Come on.

I know, I'm sorry to our lords at the gambling companies and the sights in the casinos.

I should have taken any more seriously.

Meanwhile, if you make money on Scott mattlock tonight, you better be happy.

Okay? True?

Can we try Ladd McConkey on for size. Is that taking it seriously enough? This rookie wide receiver out of Georgia, he's had himself a couple of weeks now. Is the wide receiver one or at least trying to emerge that way for the Chargers. Justin Herbert has had an awesome connection with mconkee so.

Far, and again we say, if Harbach.

Can breathe life and confidence into Justin Herbert the way he has this season, Lad McConkie's got.

A great thing going for him, then Kyle, what are the odds?

I just think we just need more, We need more. We don't have enough in the segments. Eight flowers is on there plus one twenty five. I don't know, guys, my eyes aren't so good anymore. But I don't see Scott Mattlock anywhere on the board. Lamar Jackson, Will Disley, Justin Herbert even to score a touchdown is plus three eighty DraftKings sportsbook.

The Crown is yours. Scott Mattlock got Matlock from.

I had to look it up here, Boise state.

Of course, guy, I think it was going to be duper No red Beard blue Ter.

No, exactly all right.

If you were wondering where Scott Matlock went to school, then at least we figured that out. If that was your head scratcher for today, who's going to go first? Somebody tell me, Peter, you go first?

For head scratch I've only mentioned a thousand times today that I was at the Rams game last night against the Eagles, and I'm walking around and someone from the Rams is like, Hey, you know the Dodgers are here celebrating their World Series.

There's a couple of daughters. Oh cool.

I walk into this Rams hospitality suite because I have no problem barging in like the kool.

Aid man, and as a New York sportsman.

Who has not had much, we had not much to celebrate rate of late. I see you Giants, Jets, Mets, and Yankees can love short.

I figured out give it away. It's pretty heavy, and I think it looks good on me. That's it the World Series Trophy.

I like what random?

Uh?

Fifth works? You look great. Peter is all very la experience.

It's it. I'm in Kyle.

I feel like you do have to say something about that. Why is your face?

I got all kinds of thought.

You know, they're supposed to say, oh, Peter didn't do anything to earn that. Hey, Peter did more in the World Series than Aaron Judge did, so.

I did more than some of them Dodgers I was hanging out with last night. I'll tell you that there was all the whole team.

Was there, all right?

My head scratcher goes to bigger.

Mayfield and the question wasn't what was the hand gesture that you did?

It was why did you do it? Because you have no.

Relation to Tommy DeVito, You're not you didn't go to the same college. It was what are you mocking him? Is it because you adore him? And does it have any genetic.

Reason why you did this? Baker Mayfield, please answer this question for us.

Are you telling him any chancer?

Now?

I haven't done a twenty three in me.

But I don't know he had it ready. He hasn't done twenty three.

And me what I don't even want to know, even if he is Italian, I don't want to be told that because it works best if we have If we don't have answers. Okay, sometimes the best answer the elbow stens your mondy cancels that integrated related at all.

He's not the weaker Cutlets listen, I am going with somebody that I got drafted with back in two thousand and seven.

Mister nick Folk.

This is his seventeenth season in the league. And after he goes and and his this this field goal. He he whips on the on the knuckle slash high five.

And the only thing that I.

Could really come to consistence on is after seventeen years, he's done so many handshakes then he can't figure out which one he wants to do. He has such a database of handshakes. He's like, give me the piss no knuckles hands, Okay, I'm just gonna shake your hand, fayslap knuckle handshake.

Okay. I'm not really sure what's what I'm going with, but I think he's done them all. I'll come doing it. I remember when Tommy Vido started doing that gesture.

We were all nervous about doing it on TV, like we might get in trouble or it might be a fact. How about Baker just walks into Jersey just does it unapologetically with all the hoods.

But that's Baker.

If you're a Bears fan going to Soldier Field, then they've lost for a month straight, would you and your friends still dress up as Ditka in the sweat?

Would you still do it? Yeah?

Look at these guys as we blur out their beer. These guys just looking absolutely miserable and pissed. The sweaters are great the mustaches, the aviers. They tried so hard with this costume. The guy in the right even has a wig on, I think, and they're just so mad and so pissed, and five in a row.

So I would say, if you're going.

To the next Bears home game, whenever it is, maybe just I don't know, don't wear that's that costume and just going.

You're comfortable clothes, so you can leave early.

Sorry to say it, guys, but I wish you would have had a better outcome.

All right, all right, well you know what, let's talk about sweats then, all right, Sweats, I'm talking about to and Andre Sweat.

I'm talking about Montes. Yeah, and I'm talking about Josh.

Sweat, who made NFL history yesterday by all recording sacks on the same day. Now that right there, three sacks. It's never been done in NFL history. But we're gonna call that one sweaty epic Sunday. But now to and Andre, Now get this, he deserves a big shout out Vegas because he becomes the second largest NFL for a player to ever get a sack, behind my old teammate Ted Washington.

So three hundred and.

Seventy pounds about ish, he gets a sack. But this all happened on November twenty fourth, which also happens to be the same day that Keith Sweat released his out make It Last Forever, These sacks will last forever.

Which also is Thanksgiving week, which is a national meat sweaty day.

So we have it all? Do we have a preacher of
