The Niners find a way to win 26, 23. We thought there might be another, another over, or another tie ball game, I should say. There was, this was an overtime, obviously, but we thought we might get two tie ball games within, what, the span of four or five days. That would have been wild. NFL is rolling, baseball is rolling.

Obviously we look at Baker Mayfield and we say, wow, look what Baker's done.

1:20.6

He's become the guy in Tampa. They said he's the franchise. They've paid him as such. They've treated him as such.

1:25.6

He's gone on and do his thing. Danny Dimes in Indianapolis, this guy might win the MVP. Sam Donald, first in Minnesota, then out there in Seattle, and now we're with, Jared Gough, whenever he goes up there to Detroit, now we're witnessing Matt Jones in his greatest form.
