Summary

Rich reacts to the 49ers’ rash of injuries that will see All-Pro TE George Kittle sidelined for a few weeks and possibly joined by banged-up QB Brock Purdy, and weighs in on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ most recent comments about fielding trade requests for Micah Parsons before dealing the disgruntled LB to the Packers. Two-time Super Bowl champion/’Green Light’ podcast host Chris Long tells Rich why he has great expectations but big concerns for the Baltimore Ravens, why the Kansas City Chiefs won’t make a return trip to the Super Bowl, the Chargers’ and Steelers’ chances to contend for AFC supremacy this season, Micah Parsons’ impact on the Green Bay Packers title hopes, if the Detroit Lions can adjust to losing both coordinators in the offseason, why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could win it all this year, and his takeaways from the JJ McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings’ Monday Night Football win over the Bears in Ben Johnson’s Chicago debut. Jets fan Rich explains why the team should feel good about themselves heading into Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills despite being 0-1. Learn more about your ad choices.
