As you can see, I'm joined by the voice of the commanders, Graham Weinstein. We're going to talk about that big win the other day against the Chargers. We're going to talk about a little bit about the Bears, maybe.

You got Hail Mary. And I think, Graham, you may have gotten a little bit excited on that call last year. Don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. You can listen to Bram. ESPN 630. He's got the podcast as well over on Empire Media. So check it out there. So, Bram, let's get to it.

I felt like the other day for about a quick... over on Empire Media, so check it out there. So, Bram, let's get to it.

I felt like the other day for about a quarter, I'm watching that thinking, I've seen

this team before, and it was the bad team.

It was a team from a few years ago, right?

The team that, like, they couldn't get out of their own way, and then it switched.

And I finally saw the team that I thought this team could be. What do you think? Well, best performance by Jaden in the three games that he's played. And honestly, throughout the summer, you know, we talked about this a lot that the offense really wasn't clicking in general. And then, of course, obviously a lot of people were in and out of the lineup.

You know, Coleman was out and Noah Brown was never practicing. Terry was never practicing. And Cliff was saying, you know, I got to get guys on the grass. And I wasn't surprised that the offense got off to a slow start. And then he comes back. We're waiting to seize. How much is the knee injury going to affect him? and I think he kind of got his sea legs back. And he made a few plays that were beyond reminiscent of him from a year ago.

Their offensive line, which I hope we get into in a minute, was outrageous, I thought, in this

game. And their defensive line ended up with a really, really, really marginalized team,

but they did what they were supposed to do and they totally took advantage of it.

And they were, like Quinn said, I think we had them on on our pregame show.

We have them on.

And the first thing out of his mouth was I want them to feel the chargers are speed and violence.

And this was really, I thought, the first game where that also happened,

where across the board, this was a wildly physical team.

And I got the feeling as the second half was kind of going along there,

that the Chargers wanted nothing to do with it.
