Welcome to Good morning football brought to you by Old Trapper Beef Turkey.

We are here live in Los Angeles, a full table, October 22nd.

I am Sherry Burris alongside Akbar Gabarabaja Bia Mila, a little coffee to start the day.

Those of Isaiah Standback, Kyle Brand, and we are now joined by Coach Ron Rivera. Good to see you, Coach. I was week seven in the books. Kyle's coming back down maybe from AngryVas. I'm coming back down, but not coming back down from last night walking through the lobby of my hotel and seeing Coach Ron Rivera at the bar smashing fish tacos. Oh, yeah, I was. Yeah, I was great. I was watching a little bit of football, eating some tacos, and then you come walking in, carrying a bag of clothes. I said, what happened to your luggage? He just looked at him and he goes, no, I had to do a bit. I had come from some shoot and I had this plastic bag full of random crap. Ron's like, is this your luggage? Are you coming from LAX? Luggage by hefty. That's my favorite luggage. It's always great to see Ron. We have important things to talk about coming from this game, which was incredible for Baltimore, even though it was in Tampa. Let's get to it. It's lead block. It is Buccaneers and is Ravens. The only thing keeping the Ravens from being undefeated is Isaiah likely's toe and Gardner-Minchu's arm.

Figure that one out. It's very strange. But Baker Mayfield's been playing really well lately too. So this had the makings of this kind of big-time shootouts. It's a great matchup. And there's this, and we're going to talk about this shortly.

I'm just going to tell you, Chris Godwin had a severe injury playing with one minute left and down 10.

Baker Mayfield's furious.

He's likely done for the year. We're going to talk about this shortly. I'm just going to tell you, Chris Godwin had a severe injury playing with one minute left and down 10.

Baker Mayfield's furious.

He's likely done for the year. And there was a lot of chatter about Coach Bowles, what are we doing? Why are we still throwing the ball around with a minute left down 10 in a game that we were getting crushed in earlier? And he spoke on it afterwards. We're going to speak about it a little bit. More importantly, as far as the football is concerned, the Ravens' role in a game that was not as close as that.

They're five and two.

And afterwards, we heard from Lamar Jackson and then listen closely to Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach, the venerable Todd Bulls. Our mind is just focused on the drive, focus on the play, and just go from there. put points on the board, but we don't really look at it like, or we're clicking and we got them. It's like we got to score each and every time we're out there. I'm chasing something right now, so each and every game is going to be the same thing for me. Like, I'm going to be the same person. Every game I'm trying to win. We don't second guess. We got our guys.

We're playing everybody we got. So unfortunately he got hurt. We feel bad about that. But he's a football player and he wanted to be in the game, just like Baker and everybody else wanted to be in the game. Don't you have an obligation to protect your players from themselves? I do protect my players all the time. That has nothing to do with why we left them in the ball game.

We still had a shot to score we left them in the ball game.

We still have a shot to score some points and win the ball game. It happened. It happens in football.

Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game. So, Coach, I want your opinion here.

Todd Bold was asked if he was protecting his players still having Chris Godwin that late in the game.

Do you agree? And would you have done it any differently?

Well, first of all, he had another receiver down. So he had probably no choice. He had to play his best players. And that's what he were trying to do. They're trying to win a football game,
