On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Kansas City Chiefs demolition of the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes threw for over 400 yards and 5 touchdowns in the blowout victory, so of course everybody wants to know: Are the Chiefs officially back? Producer Rob G argues that this game said a whole lot more about the ineptitude and poor game planning by the Raiders than anything, but it's hard not to come away impressed by Kansas City in this one. What's more, the schedule eases up in a big way so we could see the Chiefs end up with 11 or 12 wins when it's all said and done. Sticking in the AFC, it might be time for the Cleveland Browns to start canvassing the League for potential Baker Mayfield replacements in 2022. The Browns had their doors blown off them by Mac Jones and the New England Patriots on Sunday, and Mayfield's inability to convert on third down was a big reason why. So if you're Cleveland, and we assume that guys like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are out of the question, would it make sense to go after someone like Jimmy G? Derek Carr? Tua? One thing is clear at this point - Baker's stranglehold on the starting gig beyond this season is loosening by the minute. Later, the guys take a look at two other AFC teams who really let us down on Sunday - the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. A few weeks ago, Jason called Justin Herbert the best young quarterback in the NFL. Since then they've lost 4 of 5. Ouch. And don't get us started on the Steelers. How the heck do you tie a game against the hapless Detroit Lions? Big Ben being down with COVID isn't a good excuse for a putrid performance like that from Mike Tomlin and the boys. Finally, Jason and Rob G go head-to-head in a very special Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers Monday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
