Chargers choke. Ravens fall flat. It's a great
day when Harbaugh brothers both lose in terrible
fashion. Lamar Jackson out this week versus the
Texans. We look forward to another Ravens loss.
Let's go to the Chiefs game. The PFF highest
graded defensive player for the Kansas City Chiefs
was rookie quarterback Noel Williams, who earned
a grade of 90 .3 for his airtight coverage against
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. This kid
is looking like the gem of the draft. Third round
out of UNLV. I think he also played for California
too, but anyhow. Williams helps the Chiefs with
the loss of LeJarius Sneed a couple years back.
We couldn't fit him under the cap, but the Chiefs
don't overspend on cornerbacks anyhow, so it
didn't matter. Spagnuolo just needs some youngsters
that are willing to learn. Williams always helps
with shoring up the whole backfield. Trent McDuffie
and Jalen Watson can tend to other receivers
now without having a leak on the other side.
Cam Newton, he is an idiot. In my opinion, there
should be a rule. If you are a former football
player that never won a Super Bowl, you shouldn't
be allowed to talk about players that have, and
specifically quarterbacks. If you've never won
a Super Bowl, You don't speak about quarterbacks
that have. You have no, you cannot, you don't
have a right to speak about someone that did
when you don't. Cam Newton is no different. You
know, Cam, look down at your fingers. You do
not see a Super Bowl ring on any finger, do you?
Now look at Mahomes and company's fingers. Looks
like three of them to me. Cam actually said that
the AFC championship will go through the Chargers
or the Bills stadiums. Cam. I still remember
your one -time dismal Super Bowl performance.
You need to stifle that unusually large pie hole
and shut up and go away. The Chiefs take on the
Jacksonville Jaguars Monday night in Florida.
The Jags are playing well. It's not going to
be an easy task like it might have been in the
past. Josh Allen, the Jags linebacker, no, not
the quarterback from Buffalo, is playing well
and shoring up a decent defense. Trevor Lawrence
seems to be taking good habits from his new head
coach, Liam Cohen. Liam thinks Trevor could still
be an elite quarterback in the league. Trayvon
Walker, the Jags' edge rusher, is a problem,
especially Mahomes being reported on the injury
list with a groin issue. His flexibility and
scrambling could be affected greatly. Brian Thomas
Jr. is looking to build on his successful rookie
season. Monday night, these questions will be
answered. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes has another
record to take home. He threw his 250th touchdown
pass. making him the youngest quarterback to
achieve this milestone ever. I look for a dogfight
Monday night. The Chiefs have beaten the Jags
eight times in a row, so they will have motivation
for getting the Chiefs in the L column. The Chiefs,
on the other hand, have had some major fire pattern
last week. Holmes had 270 yards in the air and
four touchdown passes. Let's move on. Let's talk
about the 40 -40 tie between the Cowboys and
Packers. I can't remember such a drilling game
in a long time. Oh, hang on. Wait, wait, we're
late. How about Detroit versus the Ravens in
Week 3? Detroit wins on a late -game fumble by
Travis Henry to get by Baltimore. The Pack and
Cowboys game wouldn't let me go to sleep. I had
to stay up and watch. That one will always be
on highlight films. Mac Jones, a former Patriots
quarterback, landed a backup spot with the 49ers.
He has quickly won three games in a row and is
playing at a high level. The Pats love to throw
away good players. Ask the Chiefs, Tyquan Thornton,
or even Juju Smith -Schuster. The Bengals. Yep,
let's talk Bengals. They got smoked, obliterated,
destroyed on Monday Night Football. Denver only
allows in the field goal. I'm not sure if Burrow
comes back anytime soon. This will be a playoff
team. They looked abysmal in every facet. Texans
looking much better with a 26 -0 drubbing of
the hapless Titans. Steelers look solid. Rodgers
isn't out there trying to save or win the game.
He's being part of a system and seems to be working
well currently. Playoffs could be a strong possibility
for this unit. The Falcons nutted up and beat
the Commanders convincingly. Final 34 -27. Jaden
Daniels has a year of tape on him, so now it's
up to him and his coaches to reinvent his success
from last year. How about the Rams? Bad day for
LA and the NFL realm. Oh, did I laugh? Yeah,
I did. Overtime. Another thriller, but marred
with Rams mistakes. Play calling and missing
extra points, field goals, and a game -ending
horrible forked down play call. If they need
to watch the Chiefs play off forked down reels,
look like you're going to play smash mouth hanging
to the right with all your blockers in tow. Then
catch a darting faster running back or tight
end to do a quick slant, and then you're still
in business. There was still two plus minutes
left. They could have went for a tie and a stop
and get the ball back. but he didn't seem to
trust his people that well. He's going to try
to end it right there. Looks like a mistake now.
I'm not saying I would have done it either in
his shoes, but he probably shouldn't have done
that, obviously. Anyhow, that's it for the NFL
Sports Talk. We'll see you next time.
