Summary

NFL Network analyst/Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner and Rich discuss Tua Tagovailoa’s benching by the Miami Dolphins, how Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix has improved as the season has progressed, why he was “extremely impressed” with Philip Rivers in his first NFL game in 5 years, why the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills could be the two most dangerous teams in the AFC playoffs field, how the Jacksonville Jaguars have levelled up Trevor Lawrence this year, and previews what to expect in the Rams-Seahawks pivotal NFC West showdown on Thursday Night Football. The Ringer’s Todd McShay tells Rich why teams would much rather select a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft instead of in 2026, if Indiana Hoosiers QB Fernando Mendoza is worthy of the #1 overall pick next spring, reveals his pick to win the College Football Playoff, and discusses Michigan’s search for a new head coach in the wake of firing Sherrone Moore. Yankees fan Rich reacts to reliever Luke Weaver ditching the Pinstripes to sign with the crosstown Mets. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
