Summary

Rich and the guys react to Philip Rivers’ return to the Madden video game and getting a higher player rating than Cleveland Browns’ QB Shedeur Sanders and other starting quarterbacks. In ‘What’s More Likely’ Rich weighs in on the NFC South race, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, Drake Maye, Josh Allen, Philip Rivers, Micah Parsons, Justin Jefferson, Bo Nix and more. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero and Rich discuss the collapsed lung suffered by Steelers All-Pro TJ Watt, the chances Philip Rivers plays for the Indianapolis Colts against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, the reasons behind the growing frustrations of Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, which teams could be hopping back in the coaching carousel after disappointing seasons. Rich has a bone to pick with NFL teams going for 2-point conversions when they don’t have to. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
