Summary

NFL Insider Tom Pelissero tells Rich why the Cincinnati Bengals pulled the trigger on trading with the Browns for Joe Flacco, and what the trade means for Shedeur Sanders’ place in Cleveland’s QB depth chart. Rich reveals his concern level for the Chiefs and what Kansas City’s latest loss bodes for the rest of their season. Actor Tom Pelphrey joins Rich in-studio to discuss his starring role in HBO’s acclaimed crime drama ‘Task,’ discusses his die-hard fandom of the New York Giants and deep-seated hatred of the Philadelphia Eagles, reveals what it was like to throw out the first pitch at a Phillies game, and more. Rich reveals the wildest plays to come out of the weekend including takes on Titans QB Cam Ward, Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, a 50-home run pitcher (Shohei Ohtani) striking out a 50-home run batter (Kyle Schwarber) in the Dodgers-Phillies NLDS series.
