Welcome back to another episode of pushing the pile.

I am J.P. Acosta. I'm in the host chair today because Mike's a little sick under the weather. But to have him on in place of Mike, I got the one, the only, Ryan Wilson. Ryan, how are you doing? Jay, I love the work you're doing. I'm happy to be working with you here. I don't think we work together outside of a maybe an HQ hit uh i love the side by side here producer

clarets with us this is this is you in 50 years buddy so you you better start exercising

eating right or this is what's going to happen to you so uh just a little warning from the ghost

of christmas pass here buddy hey if i could get like you then that's going to be the ultimate dream

come true it has been it's been fun working with you on cbs sports hq hits but now we're going to be the ultimate dream come true. It has been, it's been fun working with you on CBS Sports HQ hits.

But now we're going to do a little bit of podcast and do a little bit of talking about the NFL.

But first, we're going to start with the Monday night football game.

But before we do that, this show is brought to you by Fandual Sportsbook, make every moment more.

We got to talk about the Monday night football game where the Atlanta Falcons do what everybody who is a little bit of a sicko wanted them to do.

And they upset the Rams, 2724.

They jumped out to a 21-0 lead before the Rams came back.

Ryan, does this sort of give you a little bit of pause for the Rams' chances at winning a Super Bowl? Yeah, because they went from the first seat to the sixth seed, I believe, after that loss in Atlanta. They tried to come back. And part of it, 21-0-and-and-and-and-and-and-and-and-and-and-all. Nothing's set set in stone especially when you talk about this falcons team that's been so up and down and i kept getting

these 283 vibes from the the falcons patriot super bowl uh and it almost turned into that but the larger

point is it is sort of weird right so it's one thing to lose to the Seahawks. And, you know, that happens if you're the Rams.

But the Panthers took it to them pretty good a few weeks before that.

And you started seeing little cracks in the dam.

And you started to wonder, I love this football team.

I don't know.

I don't know if I'm more concerned about the defense than the offense.

I know Matthew Stafford's had a few hiccups down the stretch,

but I feel like Matthew Stafford can win a game any day of the week.
