John returns on this NFL Saturday to break down Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders out dueling the NFC’s top team in the Detroit Lions by a score of 45-31. First, John salutes the sensational rookie QB and former Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels as the Commanders offense capitalized on the Lions turnovers during an epic NFC upset. Middlekauff GOES off on the Detroit Lions struggling offense and coordinator Ben Johnson for getting “cute” with Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders eyes upon the potential head coach in waiting. John proceeds to tee off on the Lions’ banged up defense for being unable to stop Jayden and a potent Commanders offense, comparing the former LSU quarterback to Baltimore Ravens star QB Lamar Jackson for his dynamic impact on the position before debating his place on the greatest rookie QB ladder. Next, John breaks down the myth of the Commanders playing with “house money” as they gear up for an NFC championship appearance. After, John pivots his focus to Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for a third Super Bowl victory in a row. Middlekauff talks about how the Kansas City Chiefs and their reputation for getting beneficial calls is good for business, and not going anywhere in the NFL any time soon before saluting DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans effort in the loss. After, John salutes Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs’ high-octane offense before laying out the team’s brutal path to a three-peat. Finally some thoughts on the NFL’s coaching carousel including updates from the Chicago Bears, Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers and more.
