Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the first 15.
Please put the clock up.
Here we go.
And let's get started.
Number five to DeBuchy's points.
The best brought some beat dons across the board.
Now, obviously, the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, they're good.
Chuck Pagano back in a much better way this week than he was maybe after week one.
He's celebrating the greatest passing quarterback in the history of the NFL.
Lamar Jackson's passer rating is now the highest in the history of the league.
Look at him holding the ball right there.
No, Lacey's doesn't.
Didn't need them.
Oh, yeah, he also happens to run a fortune is the most elusive guy on the field.
So not only can he get it done as a running back, a quarterback with his arm being the best ever,
he's also got an entire team around him filled with absolute dogs.
They end up beating the hell out of the Browns.
41, 17, debuts, your thoughts on this game?
I mean, this game just absolutely dominated on the offensive side of the ball.
A lot of chirping, I think Conman touched on it last week.
A lot of chirping between both of these two teams in the headlines, and the Ravens got it done.
Browns did do a good job with Derek Henry, kind of sealing him up.
But Lamar Jackson, you mentioned, the all-time leader,
passing Raider, rating, and also the all-time leader at the quarterback position
when it comes to rushing yards.
So a beatdown within the division here, Ravens Brides.
Let's talk about any division beat Dons.
Guess who's back?
Back again.
Brand new lions are back.
Oh, tell some friends.
MCDC, MCDCs got the boys.
buzzing. The Detroit Lions, 52.
Chicago Bears, 21.
At the beginning of those, Chicago Bears scored 14 points early.
So it looked like, oh, no, the lions stink.
This is the same old lines. Maybe Calvin Shepard, former teammate of ours,
friend of ours, should not be handling his press conferences the way he's handling him.
Maybe he was speaking a little bit too much cart before the horse,
where he's saying we don't make excuse to play football, had a little bit of an edge to him.
Hey, you haven't done anything as a D.C. is what some people were saying about this man.
And then 14 points are scored pretty early by the Chicago Bears.
Everybody's like, wait a minute.
Is this Lions team going to let Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, come into their house,
roar all over their faces in a revenge game.
And then all of a sudden something just went like that.
And poof, the brand new lion showed back up.
Same old lions for a while.
Then the brand new lions showed up.
And I'll tell you, they just kept on going.
Yeah, they did.
And they ran that shit down their throat.
Ben Johnson obviously coming back into town.
And welcome back, Bob.
We appreciate you going to the division rival out of all the different places you could have won.
Players mentioned that, fans mentioned that, and MCDC treated the game that way.
Are we all the way back to just believe in the Lions of the brand new Lions and just get rid of what we saw in week one against Green Bay Packers,
who might be the best team involved, D.
The Packers might be the best team involved.
Yeah, I'm all the way back on the Lions.
I wasn't too far out as week one.
You know, week one is all about just getting a win.
How can you figure out a way to get a win?
Obviously, they didn't get it done.
It takes time.
It takes time to build some continuity with the play callers, with the players.
Jared Goff looked like his old self, getting the ball around, had the running game going.
Gibbs, Montgomery, St. Brown, they all scored, I believe, for the ninth time,
which is the most by any trio in NFL history.
So I love that goof getting in there.
And I love the saltiness.
I love the saltiness by the Lions family, Ben Johnson coming back.
Way to welcome back putting a 50 burger up on the board.
Yeah, 52 must be nice.
Foxy today, a little bit.
better than one week ago from today?
Yeah, we're all the back, all the way back.
Super Bowl is on.
Three touchdowns for St. Brown, a touchdown for Jammell, a touchdown for Sonic and
Knuckles.
Jared Goff, five touchdown passes.
No, not ass and cheek.
Jared Goff, five touchdown passes, no turnovers.
They looked incredible.
I am all the way back.
Congrats to Detroit.
We didn't want to celebrate your demise, but it did look like it was coming right in
front of our eyes.
And instead, you're all the way back.
Yep.
Did MCD's and them lines move that rock out of the cave?
Sure felt like it there.
They are all the way back.
That was a huge statement for week two.
And then let's talk about the team that also,
you talk about the Packers, maybe being the best team in ball?
There's a team up there in Buffalo that had hard knocks.
That's the current MVP.
Buffalo Bills just absolutely smack the New York Jets.
As we're watching this game take place,
we're all wondering to ourselves,
oh, no, this might not be good for a Steelers.
This might not be good for the Steelers because the Jets,
looked very good against Pittsburgh Steelers.
Justin Fields, all over the place, spinning it, running it.
The defensive intensity and accountability for the New York Jets
was exactly what we thought it would be
under Aaron Glenn's head coaching leadership,
but then inevitably what happened was the Buffalo Beals
were the Buffalo Beals.
They end up winning 30 to 10 over the New York Jets.
A couple of division blowouts here.
What does that say to you, DeBuch?
You know division opponents, they mean a little bit more during the season.
You want to send a message to everyone.
And one of my favorite things I love to see in the National Football League
when a guy who's deserving some money gets his money
and then he shows up and shows out early and off.
And that was James Cook yesterday.
It wasn't pretty as far as the stat sheet for Josh Allen.
If you had some parlays or some prop bets,
you probably didn't hit a bunch of them,
but he did his thing, took care of the ball,
had some runs, had a little scary injury there with his nose.
But he came back, finished the game,
just an all-around dominant performance in the AFC East
with the bills over the New York football jets.
I think Josh Allen probably appreciates the fact that he's going to have the photo with the...
Yeah.
Yeah, the thing.
Yeah, you know, the nose.
Yeah, yeah, he's probably not fun.
I'm not saying it's a good thing.
And it's going to suck the sleep, you know, that's going to be sneezing.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And we're getting into cold season, too.
Josh?
Yeah.
Vitamin C.
Yeah.
Get it.
He all can't be sneezing with that entire situation.
Obviously, getting punched in the face is no funny.
He's tough, son.
I mean, there's no questions asked.
So there were some beat downs yesterday.
congrats to the teams that showcase that they are great,
either once again or it will continue to do as such.
Let's go number four.
Team to everybody thought was going to be great.
He spent all the money this weekend, or this offseason.
Oh, oh, bro, it breaks his toe.
Oh, no.
They're saying he's at least three months.
Oh, Joe.
He was healthy in training camp.
They paid his wide receivers.
They get Hendrickson back.
Shamar Stewart said, okay, the clause.
Everything that was kind of tumultuous ended up being smooth sailing.
This is going to be the best Cincinnati bank.
Holy hell, they won a game.
Yeah.
Now they got home, Sam Hubbard's the ruler of the jungle.
Need to be calling the crowd, get in there a little bit of earlier.
We want this place to be electrifying.
Is Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen, come into town?
And they get a win.
Congrats to the Bengals, getting a huge win.
Could have lost that game multiple times.
Did a huge win, and that's a positive.
They can't buy a break.
No, they can.
This team cannot buy a break in Cincinnati.
They try to buy their players out.
They're trying to pay everybody.
They're trying to run a new business.
We're going to sell the rights to the stadium
and we're going to build an indoor facility.
They're trying, I think, to become a team
that is, you know, kind of showing respect
to the football gods.
Like, hey, we understand the power of having an NFL team
and responsibility of having a team
in our city of Cincinnati.
We want to do right.
They were doing it.
It seems like they were doing it all.
They had everybody.
And then, boom, week two.
Joe Burrow was 7 or 13 for 76 yards and a tut.
Okay, let's assume that just continues.
For sure.
And he just has a great game in front, Sam Hubbard, a ruler of the jungle.
And he gets standard tackle here by Eric Armstead.
Bang, toe, out, three months.
That sucks for the Bengals, but that's a huge storyline for the AFC going forward.
Yeah, it is.
And it does.
It sucks so bad.
They were doing everything, Pat.
You said it.
They paid everyone who we said, you couldn't, you can't pay all those guys and keep them.
They won the first two weeks of the year.
They never win the first two weeks, ever.
And then this happens to Joe Burrow.
And I saw this edit last night, and I did not like it.
It was Joe Burrow and it was it flashed Andrew Luck.
And then it was Joe Burrow.
And then it flashed Andrew Luck.
Number one big.
It kept going.
It was intense.
It was like, oh, no, these guys, they started their career with all these injuries.
They're this incredibly talented, but they were behind potentially an old line that isn't going to protect him.
And we have these stats from Schefter that he then put out this this morning.
And those don't look good either.
I'm just hoping Joe comes back healthy and it's not a similar situation to Andrew where he's like just, he's just taking all these hits because he is unbelievable.
he's great for the league and this sucks for Cincinnati
and hopefully Browning, you know, can lead them
to the promised land as well.
We remember whenever he got into the league,
it felt as if he was trying to be on a jacked up segment.
Yes.
With him being the one getting jacked up every game.
Yeah.
And then he came out and spoke.
He was like, I'll like get hit.
I feel like I'm in a football game then.
Whereas one time against Philadelphia Eagles,
we actually saw his body move and his helmet and head stayed in one spot.
Oh, yeah.
And then he got slingshotted into the ground.
He leaves game.
Then he comes back.
back, I think leads him to overtime in this entire thing.
His durability and his toughness
is always something that's talked about.
But anytime a quarterback's toughness in the NFL
was talked about, it's normally because he's getting his ass
beat, right? That's why you would bring up the toughness.
And what the ranks are there for the offensive
line, I believe that was a HEMBO stat through
an Adam Schaefter Twitter account.
I don't know what they're judging on. I'm assuming
offensive linemen would say, well, that's not real.
It wasn't my job. Nonetheless, we've seen Joe
get his ass kicked, and we've hated it since
day one. And now I'm not saying this
particular situation went to tell. That seemed like it's
pretty standard tackle happening. It seems like misfortune
if I've ever seen it. Yeah. But
in the entirety of it all, you pay
everybody. Do you take care of the O-line?
They made some moves. They tried their best.
But it's like this might be an entire career
of this, which we don't hope or
wish upon anybody. Godspeed, Joe.
Godspeed, Joe.
And Godspeed to Bengals fans, too. You're
undefeated? Yeah. And Jake Browning's
played before, obviously, because of similar situations.
Well, and that's kind of the silver lining here. It's like two
things. One, Jake Browning, unbelievable.
He's proven. He's won games. Two, Joe
borough's house not getting robbed anymore because he's going to be home a lot yeah okay good silver
lining that we i think you'll still be with the team you know well i don't know i mean i think he should
kind of stay home man i didn't like that those people robbed his house he needs no he was no who was
do the little research pretty scary stuff all right let's go number three for the brand in
Aubrey is unbelievable uh are you not entertained this man is like a gladiator and they're doing
things that nobody thought was possible.
We actually got a chance to talk to him a little bit
earlier today.
Let's talk about this past weekend
yesterday. Obviously,
the 64-yard are absolutely insane.
Different ball flight than you normally hit.
Yeah. Why was that, you think?
Did you try it, or is this a new kick for you?
No, that's just a little power fade.
I was just trying to add a little bit more to it
and kind of came off my foot a little funky
and it had that little slide and got nervous
for a second, but then it corrected itself.
got back on its path um i have a i don't really try to do it but when we get back there i
started the notice i do take that little hitch step to give myself a little bit more behind the ball
i can see it there but um yeah i don't try to do it i'm more of a field kicker i don't watch a
whole lot of film of myself um if you if you pay attention closely not any single kick is exactly
the same for me as the last one there's a lot of times especially early in the season where my
soccer form takes back over and I kind of land on my kicking foot and those are the ones I try
to get away from because those those are bad but they tend to still go go in I don't know I try to
try to keep it as similar as possible but you see a rush coming out of your peripherals then you try
to get off your plant foot real quick and it makes your form look funky so as long as it's going
in I'm happy and I'm trying not to be too robotic but get myself in the same position every time
and make it make a kick.
Yeah, you do. He does.
82 and 91 on his career thus far,
which is 90%, which I assume is the best ever
to start a career. He is
unflappable. We had a full
15-minute conversation with him that we will certainly
put out, but him chatting about this particular
kick and saying, yeah, I mean, that thing just
started going. I was hoping.
I was hoping as well. He just makes kicks.
And once we kind of got done with that
conversation with him earlier, he has
the makeup. He has the brain
of one of those guys, you know, and it's
crazy that he's this new to the football world and has already made a name for himself.
But he's unbelievable. And obviously, the Cowboys need him, con, man.
Yeah, and it's lucky. Like, if you're a Cowboys fan, do not take this for granted.
As a Patriots fan, I live through Adam Venetary, live through Stephen Gostowski.
I just assume, like, oh, okay, so I could go out there and probably kick a ball and would be okay.
That's not the case. If you're a Cowboys fan, you've got the guy, you should hang your hat on
having the guy. When you mentioned Dak Prescott and C.D. Lamb and all these superstars,
mention Brandon Aubrey, because he's going to win.
win you games for the next 15 years.
And when he's gone, you were going to miss him.
Like, you've never imagined you'd miss a kicker before the Patriots Damiener
lost a game yesterday because of two missed extra points.
Brandon Arbery is nails.
And the conversation is unbelievable.
He's like a dude.
It's sweet.
Yeah, very much so.
Yeah.
Football guy.
Yeah.
And he said he's very recent that he started to like, oh, yeah, football.
This year he said.
Yeah, he's so new to it.
It's like he was soccer, soccer, soccer, soccer.
That was what it was supposed to be.
And then if my memory serves me right, him and his wife were watching something,
either on YouTube or on, and it was kicking.
And she was almost like, can't you kind of, could you?
And he just started.
He was traveling like an hour or two hours, four times a day for like two years,
just finding the stroke, getting good, getting good, getting good, getting good.
And it gets his opportunity, he just never missed it.
And it's, what a beast, especially for the Cowboys,
because they're always going to be on national television.
he becomes the first ever kicker
to hit a walk-off game tire
at the end of regulation
than a walk-off game winner
at the end of overtime
obviously zero is on the board
across both of them
it's either do or die
seemingly for kickers
every single kick
there's been some ass kickers
in the NFL this year
I don't like that
Brandon Aubrey's making up for it
on the other side
all right the champs
is still the champs
you know I always say
the Chiefs is still the Chiefs
and there was moments in this game
yesterday where I'm
I'm like, yes, the Chiefs is all the way back.
The Chiefs is still the Chiefs.
And Patrick Mahomes had some magical moments.
Travis Kelsey had some insane plays
and then obviously did something that he never does.
I mean, he's like most shorthanded guy, maybe in the NFL.
So him bat one in the red zone as it going in for a touchdown to become a pick the other way.
It's just a nightmare.
Absolute nightmare for the Kansas City Chiefs.
And on that note, Philadelphia Eagles did what the Philadelphia Eagles do.
Philadelphia Eagles get a huge win.
Seekwon obviously is going to do Seekwan stuff.
Jalen's doing Jalen's stuff.
Nick Siriani goes into the kingdom and gets a dub after an ass beating in the Super Bowl.
I think I learned that the Chiefs might not be as bad as maybe we thought the Chiefs were going to be
and that the Eagles might be the real deal, brother.
What are your thoughts, Ty?
Yeah, no, I mean, I think if you're a Chiefs fan, you're definitely not hitting the panic button,
but I think it might be time for, you know, cause for a little concern.
First time in Mahomes' career that they've lost three games in a row if you include the playoffs.
first time the Chiefs have started 0 and 2 since 2014, coincidentally.
That was the last time they made the playoffs.
And you mentioned it.
It's kind of like Kelsey doing things that just he never does.
Mahomes is their leading rusher again.
Like he's kind of got to put everything on his shoulders right now.
And then on the flip side with the Eagles, a lot of people after yesterday saying,
you know what, that might be the game that finally gets the Tush putt back.
Because you got guys moving, you know, it's just they literally every time they need to pick up a first down on third and short or fourth and short.
what they get it people are tired of the rugby stuff and that's what shepter said he said the
eagles did or the the the chiefs didn't lose that game yesterday they lost that game at the league
meetings when you know the NFL said hey we're not going to ban the tush push that's awesome
so we'll see football game thinking loud greenie this morning was like the abomination of a
football play the push but there seems like there is getting a little louder and obviously the shots
of everybody being off sides and everything like that tush push out brotherly shove out
Let's go to the number one storyline of the weekend.
The Dimes Dive is in.
Hell yeah.
Three touchdowns in two weeks, Danny Dimes dive.
The Colts, okay?
I said last week, everybody laughed.
Colts going to win the ball.
I'm not laughing anymore.
Denver Broncos, great defense.
Yes.
Denver Broncos got a great defense.
Best preseason.
A lot of people talk about Denver Broncos
maybe winning the whole damn fucking thing.
Denver Broncos are the team.
A lot of money on the Denver Broncos.
Now, they were in a dog fight with Tennessee Week 1,
and I understand Cam Ward had some generational
talent plays against them and everything like that.
But they were coming into the Lodd House.
They were coming into Lucaso Stadium.
I think all of us were a little bit worried about,
are we real or are we not?
I mean, we're about to find out.
Sean Payton on the other side with Bo Nix a little bit more.
And what we found out is,
ah, yeah, the coats are for real.
And Tyler Warren might be the best football player in the NFL.
Danny Dimes obviously having a full resurrection under this Shane Stike in offense.
That's the Dimes dive.
And it is beautiful.
Okay, it is a touchdown.
maker, a touchdown
creator. And I don't think we've even
come close to perfecting it.
There's bodies flying in the back.
There's a little bit else. But with Danny
Dimes' ability to run, he even hit a second gear
whenever a guy got free and got the edge around
somebody and picked up a few yards, which could have been
a sack and a loss. There was
some throws that were perfectly placed
out of Danny Dimes. And there was a no
quit from the team that we had
maybe seen in years past. There's
multiple times where the Broncos should have won that game,
could have won that game. The Colts could have had a three
and Howard got out of the way or the defense
could have just not shown up and kind of gave
up another field goal, maybe just let the momentum go
the other way. We bring him in in the
offseason out of Minnesota. Full vibes
got, full celebration guy. It is
on good authority I've been told from my source
that blew
the mascot did not know they were
doing that celebration at that exact
moment. So Bynum's freestyle
and celebrations that are becoming the
best celebrations around the league each week.
It is a good time to be a
Colts fan. It is a fun time to be
the Colts fan and leverage is in a rule book yeah it is can't try to break guys next no
I mean we're trying to be hell we're trying to be a healthy operation we're trying our best
to make the game safer for future generations you can't be trying to swancon bomb over a guy's
head like that you can't be pushing down trying to get up now I did see Denver Broncos fans
point out some other plays that might have looked like some leverage I'd argue that
that maybe it does happen on a regular base.
I'd argue maybe they don't call it.
But when it's that egregious?
Come on.
That egregious.
Can't have it.
You got to call it.
We all saw it.
I'll tell you, I was in a suite,
had direct eye contact on hold from Reggie Bertra Sanchez,
punter for the team.
Haven't seen him.
Yeah.
No.
We don't do that.
No.
We don't do that around here.
Okay.
Indianapolis, we don't pun anymore.
Rigo could be on his way to Pro Bowl season, did have a punt.
It might have been 60-some yards.
Then they ran into the punter first down.
So he did have a punt in game one, but it did not count.
It got ruled off.
We got a first down because everything's working for the Indianapolis Colts right now.
But I had direct eye on Rigoberto Sanchez and Ball and Spencer Schrader, who has been great for us.
This kid, Spencer Schrader, we're very happy he's here.
Born in Indiana, Indiana, right?
Yes, he went down to Florida, I believe.
So he's an Indiana kid.
We had Matt Gay.
He was the highest paid kicker in the NFL for us.
Ball didn't always go in.
Good, dude.
Schrader kid feels good.
I have direct eye contact on Rigoberto, the ball.
As soon as he hits it, not good contact, this ain't going in.
Okay, that's just immediately upon contact it, you, pf, nope, that thing, you hit that thing, no way.
So we all think it's over.
The electricity is drained from the Lucasol Stadium.
And all of a sudden, what's out there?
Oh, again, another flag on the play.
These Broncos fans acting like this was the only call
that everybody was like, come on.
These refs were a part of every play.
It was very annoying, to be honest with you.
There was a lot of flags in the game.
That leverage one's tough.
If I was a Broncos fan, I'm certainly very loud.
On that note, we get in the re-kick in the outhouse.
We didn't care.
We want apes shit in there.
What a huge win for the Broncos.
Debut, you were on the call for ESPN radio.
I can't wait to hear that.
What a game for you to get to call.
I mean, what a game from wire to wire.
Both of these offenses moving the ball up in
down the field. We always talk about in the locker room playing complimentary football. We always talk
about, hey, it's going to take 60 minutes, have each other's back, no matter what happens.
And that's what happened with the coach yesterday. The offense was moving the ball well between
the 20s all day long. A few drives stalled, stall, but straighter was nails all day.
Went five for five from field goals, so we weren't punching in touchdowns. But we made the big
plays when we needed. That big one to Jonathan Taylor up the sideline, that was huge. The
Cambonim interception because the Broncos, they were getting in the red area and they were converting
touchdowns. Bo Nix was pretty sharp once they got in the red.
Franklin is that quarter of a wide receiver?
Troy Franklin, yeah.
We're their college teammates in Oregon?
Yeah, so this was kind of his breakout game, but this intersection was huge.
We always talk about tips and overthrows, and that's what Cam Biden.
And all the good deep free safeties do.
They make you pay for those.
So that was a big one getting that turn over there, special teams, defense.
Defense wasn't great all day long.
Like I said, Bo Nix was pretty sharp, but made a play when we needed it.
And offensively, just been sharp, man.
I mean, just every drive, we're getting points.
We're getting touchdowns.
Tyler Warren, he's been phenomenal.
Jonathan Taylor went over 200 total yards.
And then Danny Dimes.
He was getting his ass blitz.
I want to say, like 70% of the time he got blitz.
And it's Denver Broncos defense.
They lead the league in sacks.
It had six in week one, 69 coming into this game.
And they protected him.
He was pretty sharp against the blitz.
Went over 300 yards for the first time since week two in 2023.
So love with Danny Dimes.
We've been looking for a quarterback.
Danny Dimes has been looking for a good place
and I think it's kind of a match made
to heaven right now.
Shane Steichen's been looking for a quarterback too.
I think he is very comfortable
with everything that Danny Diamond's out.
Just the campaign of the offense.
Yeah.
What Danny's saying.
And you could tell the offensive lines bought in.
You can tell everybody's bought in.
It's a different vibe with this Colts team this year.
Yeah, and that's probably the best two games span
for a home team to start a season of all time.
I'm serious.
When you talk about like the expectations
and the question marks around the Colts
and for them to come out,
week one dominate a team from start to finish and then week two to come out be down by five in the fourth quarter kick two field goals and win like you mentioned it's so much different whereas it was 28 to 23 and it was fourth down and i just assumed the coach were going to go for it screw it up and it was going to go the other way and instead they kick a field goal get a stop on defense kick a game winner like it's unbelievable football and the old line this is danny dimes's first real offensive line and he's one of the top five top ten quarterbacks in the nfl right now like danny dine
first shoot is going to be
Indianapolis coat for the next
10 years. I hope so. I've
heard he was out last night, maybe having a couple
beers with the love with.
We like that. And we
are not saying that as a negative. That is
1,000% A positive.
That is the boys
enjoying the city. That is a good thing.
Not a bad thing. Hadn't been happening for a long time.
Danny Dimes, old school guy. Joining us now,
ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider
for ESPN, Michigan
mine, ladies a gentleman, Adam Schaefter.
Jeffty. We apologize for having you wait around right there. That's on us. The 15-minute clock might just disappear. But on that note, anything that we miss there and the Colts are going to win a Zer Bowl? Well, the 15-minute clock has turned into a 30-minute clock, Pat. But that's okay because the Indianapolis Colts are rolling along. They are the first team in the Super Bowl era not to punt in the first two games of the season. Whoever would have thought that the cults with Daniel Jones,
playing quarterback would become the first team not to punt in the first two games of the season.
They scored on their first 10 possessions this season, scored every single time rolling along.
It seems like it was a long time ago that there was a quarterback competition.
You want me to go on to the other 90 seconds here like we did last Monday?
You want to take over and follow up.
I'd love that.
Well, the follow up is that first 10 thing, also a record.
And also I think they've scored 17 of, I forget the exact number.
number 20 or something like that, or 24,
and it's the highest percentage of scoring
in 45 years in the NFL when it's the start season.
But go ahead on you. If any of the 90 seconds
have anything with Danny Dimes being a greatest quarterback,
maybe in the history of the NFL through two weeks,
you can certainly add that,
but we are excited to hear what we need to catch up on.
Well, who would have thought that the cults
would have a more stable quarterback position right now
than the Cincinnati Bengals? But the story of the day,
obviously, Joe Burrow has a turf toe injury
that will require surgery.
He will be sidelined for a,
minimum of three months. Typically, this is a 12 to 14 week recovery period from an injury like
that. That would mean that if it was best case, the soonest he could be ready, as much as he
might push, would be December 15th and very well could be into the new year before he's ready again.
Let's see if the Bengals and Jake Browning, their new quarterback, can keep them afloat until then.
But Joe Burrow went down yesterday. You knew it had to be serious. He's going to have surgery as soon
is the swelling, and that toe goes down, and he's going to be sideline for a minimum of three months.
The Bengals already have been calling around to add another quarterback.
That's from a debt standpoint, but the fact of the matter is Jake Browning will be the guy.
He is expected to be the guy, and Joe Burrow has taken so much punishment there in Cincinnati
from the time that he arrived there in 2020.
You put up the pass rush win rate right there where the Bengals have ranked in the league,
and you see those numbers.
that is rough for a quarterback to absorb all those hits, all those years, and you wonder what type of cumulative effect it will have on Joe Burrow physically and mentally moving forward.
So we'll keep an eye on that as that unfolds.
The New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is in concussion protocol, left the game yesterday, went out, was replaced by Tyrod Taylor.
We'll see if Justin Fields can clear in time this week to get back into action.
The Jets had a terribly disappointing game yesterday against the Buffalo Bills.
They looked inept out there.
Nobody would have thought the Jets could look that bad, but they did.
And now there'll be a question about the quarterback.
And the other quarterback to watch today will be Jaden Daniels.
Obviously came up a little limpy on Thursday night in Green Bay.
And I think they did some testing over the weekend.
And I think Dan Quinn will address the media today.
And we'll see what that is, whether his staff.
for Sunday is in question
at all, don't know yet.
I don't think it's serious
in any kind of way, but I do think
that we're going to hear something there
regarding some sort of issue
with Jaden Daniels. That's my
sense of things, and we'll see how that plays
out there working through it right now.
Okay, on that note, Jaden looked unlike
what we've seen of Jaden in the NFL, I think
in the face and everything on the field,
certainly against that Packers team, who might be
they might be the best team in ball right now.
It might be.
So that might just be the case.
I didn't think I remembered him potentially having an injury coming out of there.
We will obviously keep T's A&Ps and positive vibes for Jaden Daniels.
Ankle and everybody that got injured.
