Today, Pabst and Perloff take a look back at the first half of the NFL season and discuss the biggest surprises, including the Chargers' disappointing start, all four NFC North teams winning at least six games, and the Giants taking control of the NFC East while the Eagles struggle. Plus, the guys debate whether the NFL will eventually expand to an 18-game season and whether the trade deadline is setting fans up for some bad football. Then, they revisit their preseason predictions in a round of Midseason Mulligans, looking back at their picks for MVP, Coach of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year. Finally, former Giants tight end Howard Cross joins the show to preview Giants-Commanders, discuss JJ McCarthy's development, and weigh in on the debate between Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White as the greatest defensive player in NFL history.
