| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, |
| 0:10.5 | Matthew Collar here. |
| 0:11.6 | And joining me on the show to talk some quarterbacks is ESPN's Kalin Kaler, who we have |
| 0:17.6 | to really appreciate the footballing nature of you grinding through a cold to |
| 0:22.3 | still do this football podcast. So I really appreciate you coming back on the show. And Kaelan, |
| 0:29.3 | I think the best place to start is what we just saw last night. Rams, Sam Darnold finds a way to |
| 0:36.2 | come back and win in overtime. |
