Summary

Rich previews the huge NFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football and how it will impact the NFC playoff seedings, and reacts to L.A. WR Puka Nacua’s controversial appearance on a livestream this week where he ripped NFL officiating and promised to do a TD celebration regarded by some as antisemitic. Pro Football Hall of Famer Champ Bailey and Rich preview the College Football Playoff’s first-round games between Oregon and James Madison, and Ole Miss vs Tulane, says which CFP teams could surprise people and go on a Cinderella run, if the Denver Broncos can win the Super Bowl this season, and reveals what he learned from Hall of Fame teammates Peyton Manning, Deion Sanders and Darrell Green. Rich and the guys debate if the Rams/Seahawks winner or another team from the NFC will reach the Super Bowl. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
