Good morning football. Hey, welcome inside. Good morning football. We are presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We're also live here in New York City. It's Monday, November 21st. Happy Thanksgiving week, y'all. I'm Jamie Yardall. It's Kyle Brand. It's Jason McCordy over there. And in for Peter Shrager today, Mike Garifalo. After back-to-back losses and all the weather complications, the bills had to get the hob-nobble gobble out of town, I think I said that right. Who knows? It's backwards maybe. And say, we're going to have play our game in Detroit twice in five days. Big win, bills needed it. Jason, which team made the biggest statement, though, on Sunday when you look at the whole scoreboard?

Yeah, there were so many teams. I felt like that had big ones. Like, you look at the Cowboys and their win over Minnesota, and we've been giving them their flowers all show today. And I'm going to go with the New England Patriots. And the reason is they have three games in 12 days. We saw the first of those three versus New York Jets. They beat a division opponent and are able to move up to third in the division now. Thanksgiving Day. They play the Minnesota Vikings. And you would say, hey, all right, it's a quick turnaround, but they'll have the weekend off and they'll be able to prepare.

No, after that, the following Thursday, they'll be going against the Buffalo Bills at home.

So for them, and the way they played this game defensively, going out there, holding the Jets to just three points, forcing bad Zach Wilson all day long,

missed throws at opportunities, at some interceptions, didn't come down with it, but they got after them the entire game.

And for that organization, Bill Belichick, this is the way they want to win games.

You play good defense, and then your special teams, your specialists are special.

So you hold the team to three points.

You don't put points on the board yourself other than one field goal, but then you end the game with a Marcus Jones walk-off

punt return for a touchdown. For Bill Belichick, this would be the great way he designs this game

and draws it up. We play tremendous throughout the entire game, and one play at the end,

we're able to put the game away on pump return.

And what was fun about watching this play, when there's a guy back there, a returner on the defense and guys on his punt return blocking,

when you have a guy that's dangerous and you know he has the ability to take one to the house,

you see guys hustling and running all over except that last block, trying to make a block to spring a guy free because you know what he's capable of. A nice win for the Patriots, a statement. They're still in a playoff hunt, and they've been last in this division. They've kind of been a forgotten thought. They're kind of playing themselves right back into conversation. I hear that. I'm going to go with the Las Vegas Raiders here, and I can hear the eyes rolling around the

country right now, please. You beat a bad Broncos team. You're not very good yourselves.

Around the country, Mike, is at the table. Yeah, right. Maybe that's what I'm hearing.

But, and I'll say that, I don't think that this game is going to have a huge impact on 2022, but it's about everything beyond that.

And there was a lot on the line in this game for the Raiders.
