Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Hawkblogger Mornings.

I'm Brian Nemhouser, and it is a blue Friday.

It's a little bit of a gray Friday, I guess, here in the Pacific Northwest.

We're fully into fall weather here in Seattle.

And it only means one thing when we get to Blue Friday.

Mike Sando, of the athletic, the best in the biz,

certainly one of my favorites to have ever done it,

and joins us to talk about all things NFL and focusing on the Seahawks.

How are you doing on this Friday, Mike?

I'm doing well.

Should I put the Mariners hat back on? Last time I wore it, they went up to nothing, and I've got it over here. It's your call. All right, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's both do that. Yeah. Let's get this thing on because we've got to get this thing properly. Yeah. reoriented. I mean, come on. I can't lose a series now. But I'm doing well. Thank you. I really enjoyed the Thursday night game last night, which isn't always a given that it's going to be as fun as it was.

Yeah. I mean, that was, I just posted a tweet about this. I don't know if you saw it, but this is the state of the NFL this year.

The AFC North, QB wins. And QB wins. I'm not saying as a real staff, but this is just a quarterbacks that have won a game in

the AFC North. Aaron Rogers has got four. Joe Flacco has two, one in Cincinnati, one in Cleveland.

Jake Browning has one. Now, he didn't start that, but he did play the majority of it.

Joe Burrow has won, and Lamar Jackson has one.

It's a weird, weird year, dude.

I know, that's why, even though, I mean, it would have been, to go up five to one,

five in one record for Pittsburgh would have really felt like something.

They did kind of keep everyone alive with that loss last night, but it is a shambles of a

division.
