Summary
Matt Jones and Drew Franklin kick off another 'International Edition' of NFL Cover Zero with Matt in South Africa. Matt wonders if kids should be allowed to fly in first or business class. What does the Chiefs loss to the Eagles mean for KC moving forward? Cowboys OT win was the wildest game of the day. Do the Giants stick with Russell Wilson? Matt is concerned with Joe Burrow's injury and thinks the Dolphins have to have questions about Tua Tagovailoa.
Matt tells some stories of his trip through South Africa. Was this week's Steelers team closer to what they really are? The 49ers have to be happy with the performance of Mac Jones. Drew wants to apologize for the Colts after Daniel Jones has carried them to a 2-0 record. Is this Lions team more what we're like to see this season? Josh Allen breaks his nose, but seems like he's going to be fine. How surprising is it to the Cardinals 2-0? Matt and Drew adjust their Power Rankings after 2 weeks including asking what do you do with the Chiefs?
