Summary
Matt Jones and Drew Franklin dive into the Bills amazing win over the Ravens, who looked like the better team for most of the game! Aaron Rodgers proved he still has some magic left. Has kicking 60 yard field goals become too normal? Matt will wear something each week to represent his 'team of the week'. Micah Parsons didn't play much but still had an impact for the Packers. Daniel Jones' Colts debut was amazing, but the Dolphins were very disappointing. Which team didn't play well at all, but still walked away with a win? The Browns couldn't pull out a win, but Matt was impressed with the tailgate wedding in Cleveland.
Looking back to the Eagles win, is spitting worse than punching someone? Matt thinks the Chargers win could represent a turnaround for Justin Herbert. Matt called the Raiders win, but were there more concerns about the Patriots? Will the Giants stick with Russell Wilson after a loss to the Commanders? The Jaguars could end up being the surprise team of the season. Cam Ward made his debut but Drew thinks it could be a long season for the Titans. We wrap updating the Survivor standings and the Touchdown game!
