Summary
Matt Jones and Drew Franklin start the show with Matt in a tent in Kruger National Park! A full day of NFL games starting in Dublin. There are a lot of headlines from Ireland, including Steelers backup QB Skyler Thompson being robbed on Friday night. Matt was amused by Aaron Rodgers' quote about being in Ireland. The Eagles move to 4-0, but Matt still had hope in Baker Mayfield throughout the entire game. The Giants upset the Chargers, but what did you think about Jaxson Dart? Titans' QB Cam Ward was extremely blunt about the state of the team, does Drew agree? The Falcons are the most confusing team week to week. Spencer Rattler joined a rare group of QB's to start their careers 0-10, who are the other 9?
Onto the afternoon games, the Chiefs dominate and how concerned are you about the Ravens at 1-3? The Colts take their first loss, but did one play decide the game? An impressive game for the Jaguars and more injury concers for the 49ers. Matt couldn't be happier about HOW the Bears beat the Raiders. Are we seeing a renaissance of kicks being blocked? Matt thinks we could end up looking back at the 2024 Draft Class of QBs as league-changing.

| 1:07.6 | or to not wake the animals that could disturb you at any moment there? |
