Summary

Week 3 brought the usual surprises, along with some of the wackiest moments of the early season.

Jenny, Conor and Gary start with the Sunday night thriller in Santa Clara, how in the end it came easy for Aaron Rodgers after the 49ers scrapped to take a late lead, why continuity matters, and a conversation about Davante Adams’s uncomfortably brief time in concussion protocol.

Also, a discussion of the Rams’ asserting their superiority in the NFC behind Matthew Stafford and Raheem Morris’s defense against his former team, how the Raiders got to 3–0, why the Dolphins had a fighting chance behind Jacoby Brissett, the formula that has beaten the Chiefs and how the Chargers are treating Justin Herbert as the superstar quarterback he has become.

The Justin Tucker heroics and the pleasures of being a Lions fan, a look at everything that went so very wrong for the Bears during and in the runup to Justin Fields’s first career start, what exactly went down on Ben Roethlisberger’s long day and strange final play, dueling Jason Garrett food metaphors and much more!

Hello and welcome to the MMQB Monday morning NFL

0:07.5

podcast I'm Gary Bramley. I'm Jenny Brantiff. I'm Conor

0:11.3

And guys what a what a day of kickers it was.

0:15.0

culminating with that Mason Crosby game winner from 51 yards on 29 football

0:21.0

and we are starting there in Santa Clara with the

0:24.4

Packers back and forth win over the 49ers and I don't know I guess we'll start

0:30.1

with a bit of a quarterback comparison and I guess just what Aaron Rogers was able to do.

0:37.0

Over the course of a game where there were times where they were really scraping and scrapping for what they got, but the big plays they

0:44.2

needed they got early on and the throw he made over Fred Warner on the final drive when it was kind of like,

0:54.0

I'm wondering and get quite enough depth there.

0:57.0

It's kind of like, well, yeah, I guess it's sort of on Warner,

0:59.5

but also there's probably like two or three humans on the planet who could even come

1:04.4

close to making that throw with the necessary touch that far down field and that's

1:09.0

just Aaron Rogers. Yeah and they went to the middle of the field twice which was a bit of a risk but

1:16.9

also where the opening was for them to make a big play and Aaron Rogers had 37 seconds just needs to get

1:26.4

into field goal range they did you know basically every second they needed to do that and I don't know how many

1:38.7

quarterbacks would have been able to maneuver that quickly with two throws and being able to get back to the line,

1:46.7

spike it with three seconds to go. It's such an incredible thing that we don't think about often, but it's like the little things that having a quarterback around for that long give you and when other teams are in a two minute drill at the end of a game it's such

2:03.2

chaos and it's such sort of disorganization and there are so few teams with

2:07.8

that institutional togetherness that you know this seems it just seems so

2:11.8

formulaic and comfortable for them you know even

2:14.2

down to the the quick huddle that you need to spike it I thought it was fascinating
