Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football Podcast.

I'm Will Selba, and hear the best moments from this week so far at the breakfast table.

Week 9 kept the action coming from a preview of a possible NFC championship game

to the Rogers Brady sequel we've been waiting for since 2014.

Let's find out what the breakfast table thought about some of the biggest games from week 9.

Let's start with the Packers and the Patriots from just last night. What is the one thing that you sort of took away immediately after that game date? Well, we're looking at these highlights and we want to use the word goat. Is it Drew Brees? Is it Tom Brady? Is it Aaron Rogers? Goat, goat, goat. And I feel like when it comes to Bill Belichick, let's go G-Cote Greatest coach of all time. Okay. Going into this game, they don't have Sonny Michelle. They don't have Rob Gunkowski. Yeah. And they still piece together a beautiful game plan in whatever way they can. It's almost like walking into a kitchen and knowing that you need to go shopping, but saying I'm about to make the most delicious meal I can and everybody loves it.

That's what he did. Cordell Patterson stands out to me. All of a sudden, I'm watching this game and he's playing running back and not just playing running back, but playing running back at a high level. Now here's the thing. You may think, well, he's an athlete, Nate, he plays wide receiver, he's a returner, he can do it all. That's true. But you know how many times they had to put Caderl Patterson in the backfield at practice just so he can run the right place? There was no hiccups. There were no mistakes. There were no botched handoffs. That means that they had this planned all year and at the perfect time they put him back there and he was running through these holes as if he was playing running back for this team for the last couple years. That right there is impressive to me and tells me about the preparation moving forward. G-coat, greatest coach of all time. Patterson played 13 offensive snaps and touched the ball on 12 of them. I love that. You'd think he played 90 steps. 11 rushes, 61 yards, and a TD. That's efficiency for a guy who was known as a Y-receiver bust and just a

returner. I'll add on to your Bill Belichick because it's what he does on the field but what he's

involved in off the field as well. Him Nick Casario, the front office, all of those guys in making

a trade for Josh Gordon for a fifth round pick. Twitter's going crazy yesterday because Gordon

finally breaks out. He's got the 130 yards. He's got the big touchdown, a 55-yard touchdown at that. We're taking a look at it right now. He now is 100 of more yards in two of the last three games. Everyone's saying, how did we let this happen? How could we let the Patriots get this sort of player? He's out there. He's not being a distraction. He scores a touchdown and is doing the shoot in the end zone. He's celebrating. He looks good, feels good, and this team feels a little bit different with Josh Gordon on the squad. So that was my big takeaway, adding an element that they really didn't have before they finally pulled the trigger and trade for him. It's funny. This game was goat versus goat, right? And to me, the guy who stood out for me is a name that

probably no one knows. It's not G-O-A-T. It's

G-O-A-T. It's G-Y. I thought Lawrence Guy's

play was the game changer and the

true turning point of this one. If you guys

remember, Marquez Valdez Scantling made two

big plays, a 26-yard catch, a 24-yard catch. And this game is tied, and the Packers are going in for the score. This is late in the third quarter, going into the fourth quarter, and who makes the play? A guy named Lawrence Guy. If you haven't been watching the Patriots every week, Lawrence Guy's been their best defensive player all season long. And his story, fitting to the Patriots, was with the Packers, was with the Colts, was with the Chargers, with the Ravens. Patriots picked him up last year. He was a seventh round pick. No one had ever heard of him,

and he makes the biggest play, to me, of the game between Goat versus Goat. It's so right. It's the same way that James White makes the biggest plays in a Super Bowl when no one had heard of him all season. It's the same way that Chris Hogan makes the biggest playing an AFC championship game two years ago

when no one had heard of him.

Lawrence Guy makes the play, and that's the Patriot way.
