Hello, I'm Matt Williamson. This is the Locked-on NFL podcast. Like every Wednesday, I have Mike Renner with us from Pro Football Focus. We're going to touch on a couple subjects. These Wednesday shows have been a blast. Mike, how are you?

I'm doing great. Thanks for, thanks for having me back. I'm surprised you've allowed me to stay on for this long.

To be very honest, I mean mean in the history of this podcast i haven't done a lot of guests and something like my uh followers have asked for more of i mean my podcast history it was always

me and rofloe or me and ross tucker or whatever um and this has kind of had to sit at the bar and chat with me kind of feel. But I've really dug doing this every week on a regular basis and just digging into what you've been into. Yeah, we don't really have guests on the PFF podcast too, which is something we should look into. But it is fun it is fun getting, you know, a little different perspective on things.

Yeah, no doubt. Invite me on sometime. I'd be glad to help. Yeah, well, we got to start having a guess first.

What was I going to ask you? Oh, the AFC. Like I said, I've been doing this a long time. And often this time of year, I make the mistake to say, boy, things are pretty well set, or it looks like this team's easily going to win the division.

I mean, we know things change on a radical basis.

You know, Aaron Rogers just got hurt.

I mean, big things happen.

But I look at the AFC, and are there only three contending teams?

Probably, to be honest, at this point.

There's probably three teams that I would say

don't have such severe flaws

or could start to put it together in a way

that they won't be extremely flawed by

year's end. So, yeah, I think the Pats Chiefs Steelers are the class of the AFC at the moment.

Okay. If we're going to get far-fetched, could Tennessee, can you write a picture in your head

where Tennessee becomes the best team in the AFC or Cincinnati or Denver or Oakland?

I'll say I could see foresee a scenario where Denver, I put them in the conversation,

and I could foresee a scenario where Oakland.

And I could also possibly foresee a scenario where Oakland and I could also possibly

foresee a scenario where I put Jacksonville.
