Summary

Rich recaps the Detroit Lions’ Thursday Night Football win over the visiting Dallas Cowboys and what it means for each team’s playoff hopes. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero and Rich discuss how Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs was the steal of the 2023 draft, the impact of the season-ending Achilles injury suffered by Detroit Lions S Brian Branch, the Cowboys’ talented-but-temperamental WR George Pickens, Mike Tomlin’s uncertain future with the Pittsburgh Steelers, if Kyler Murray has played his last game for the Arizona Cardinals, and provides the latest injury updates on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, Chargers QB Justin Herbert, Vikings QB JJ McCarthy, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, and Bengals WR Tee Higgins. Rich and the guys react to LeBron James’ game-winning assist in the Lakers’ buzzer beater win over the Toronto Raptors and debate if L.A. winning a title with Luka Doncic would be good or bad for the NBA.
