Welcome. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, yeah. Good morning football. Welcome inside. Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. Live in New York City, Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, November 24th. How's everybody doing? I'm Jamie Earth. There's Kyle Brant. Peter Shreger, Jason McCordy. Time for a round of mad minutes.

Let's do it. All right, Bengals quarterback, hear me out. Jake Browning making his first NFL start against the Steelers and the last quarterback to beat Pittsburgh in his first start. You guys know?

Brett Farve did it back in 1992 in his first start. Peter. He's early. No, right? That was week 4.92.

Take us to week 12, 2023, Peter.

What do we watch before in this game?

Jalen Warren out of Snow College, which is an F from Utah, and they specialize in software engineering and nursing.

I love the story of Jalen Warren.

And I think if the Steelers are going to go against the Bengals in Cincinnati, it's not going to be suddenly, well, we have new offensive coordinator, new play caller, and we're going to just rely on Kenny Pickett and now throw for 300 yards. Yeah, we know Jake Brent. This game right here, I'll tell you right now, the final score will be 16 to 10. One of these two teams will come out on top because the running game was better than the other one. I'm going to say this is the Jalen Warren game and the Steelers stay alive in this thing. Interesting. I'm looking at Jake Browning on the other side. He's getting his chance to get his first career NFL start is going to be an amazing opportunity. But he's getting that start because Joe Burrell got hurt, season ending wrist injury. And I saw this stat that everybody was talking about. Joe Burrell sacked 148 times through four seasons. Andrew Luck. Luck was sacked 115 times through four seasons. They're talking about the amount of times your quarterback has hit with now Burrow going down with an injury. We know Luck had an injury history as well. I don't want to see Jake Browning. I want to see Joe Burrow. Snow College. I wonder what the mascot is. I hope something fun. Like a leopard or something. Leopard? Sure, why not? Okay, great. What is it? Say it again? Badgers, the Snow College Badgers? I would have gone like icicles or something. I think, I want to see George Pickens get involved in this game. We've got a new coordinator here. He's your most talented rival receiver. Get him the ball. In the spirit of Make It Makes Sense, two years ago, the Texans and the Jaguars were sitting in that season at 7 and 27. 7 and 27. Oh, how times have changed, Jason McCordy. The Texans already beat the Jaguars once this season, and now they meet again. I'm looking at CJ Stroud and Tankdale. They have formed a connection that Shregs was talking about this past week of him being able to find his fellow rookie wide receiver. The last time these guys played, Tankdale had 145 yards receiving. So I want to see what are the adjustments, how are they able to try to control him and shut him down because these two have been fantastic for rookies stepping on the scene,

building that relationship and finding each other once they're out there on the field. Tank does an extremely hard receiver to cover. Can C.J. Stroud get him to rock in the game. I like the way Jamie set it up about these teams that suffered so bad. Is this the best game of the week? I can't wait to watch Jaguars, Texas. I don't know if I've ever said that sentence. Jaguar's slight favorites on the road. They were really good last week too. I want to see the Tankdale experience, but I also want to see Lawrence continue to take off. This is my favorite game of the week, I think. It's nuts. Yeah, and they did play each other week three, and the Texans blew out the Jaguars, 37 points they put on it. So it's like Jacksonville, you were supposed to be the favorites.

You're the thing. You're coming into this thing. I know that the taste of that horrible loss against the Niners is still fresh. And everyone's out there and silencing people. Take care of this upstart Texans. Speaking of Upstart, how about the Chiefs' offense getting a little upstart action in the second half? The last couple weeks, they have struggled with points on the board against their opponents.

They had a home loss last week. Now they have to travel to Las Vegas. Kyle, take us there. We just showed a clip of Brett Farve recently. And one of my favorite things to watch when I was younger was Warren Sapp versus Brett Farv. They would get each other's faces and they would bark. And I'm looking for Crosby versus Mahomes. If you watch the Netflix series with Mahomes,

that moment he had last year against Crosby

when they went face to face and Mahomes was screaming, I'm like that and all this. It was really, really cool. And I know that it is out of respect and there's an article floating around this week where they're frenemies, like they really like each other's game. I'm into Crosby Mojones all day.

They play this week.

They also play on Christmas Day, like the early game on Christmas.

So this is the first time these teams are playing. like each other's game. I'm in a Crosby, Mahomes, all day. They play this week. They also play on Christmas Day, like the early game on Christmas.

So this is the first time these teams are playing late in the season. I look at those Chiefs wide receivers. Yesterday on the show, I said, you know, you pardoned turkeys the president does. I'm pardoning the Chiefs receivers for the first 12 weeks of the season.

Start now because this is it.

This is when it matters.
