Good morning football.

Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper Beep Jerky. We're live here in New York City. It's Thursday, October 20th. I'm Jamie Eradall. It's Kyle Brammering. Hey.

...and Breger and Jason McCordy. Time to the league walk. Let's do it. Let's go a littleall. It's Kyle Bramette Greger and Jason McCordy.

Time to the league lock. Let's do it. Let's go a little football purple. This Sunday night, this weekend, this is pretty cool.

The Dolphins are celebrating and honoring their undefeated team from 1972. It's been 50 years since football fans.

Look at that goalpost, right in the middle of the end zone there. Witness this special... Jim kick. Jim kick. Do you know who Miami beat in the UFC championship that year? Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. Indeed. It was the Steelers. Do you know who the Dolphins take on in Miami on Sunday night? I don't know. Oh, man. Well, I mean, follow the own logic, the old nog in there. The Steelers again. It's cool how we brought that all together. The connective tissue of the show is working once again. How is the game after the Immaculate Reception? Everyone thinks the Enochial Reception, like won a Super Bowl. Division a round? They play the dolphins the next week. Dolphins beat them. Let's go. Let's go. From 1972 to 2022, this year's Dolphins, they get two a back on Sunday. And they could use some of that 72 undefeated mojo as well. It's been tough after they started 3-0. The Finns lost their last three. Meanwhile, the Vils, Jets, and Patriots, they are Enfuego. So what do we need to see from this Bills, or excuse me, Dolphins Steelers game in Miami to set pace in the AFC East, Peter. You say en fuego. You say the dolphins had all the mojo. They did. you know, first month of the season. We went to London a few weeks. As we were leaving for London,

it was like, wow, the dolphins had all the mojo. They did. You know, first month of the season.

We went to London a few weeks. As we were leaving for London, it was like, wow, the dolphins are the toast of the town. They're 3 and 0. They've got it going. And if you forget, like, they were dancing. They were celebrating. Take a look at Jalen Waddle just in the first win here when they do get that victory early on. And it's like home field, everyone's having a blast.

Everyone's doing the waddle.

McDaniel's getting hugs from Christian Wilkins. And they were knocking off. They're beating the Bills. The Bills. They were beating the Steelers. I mean, not Patriots. The Patriots. The Ravens. Big teams. And they're like, all right, dolphins are here. then unfortunate things happen. And we get to last week where Jalen Waddle fumbles in this one.

This is a game-changing play. The Ravens, big teams, and they're like, all right, dolphins are here. Then unfortunate things happen.

And we get to last week where Jalen Waddle fumbles in this one. This is a game-changing play here. Jalen Waddle fumbles, and Dalvin Cook would come right down and score what would end up being the game-sealing touchdown. But after this Waddle fumble, you almost felt like the entire air sucked out of that stadium. Any of that mojo. And it waddle so frustrating on the sideline.

And Jason, you played with him, Jamie. You covered him at his best days in Alabama. Like, this guy wants to win. This guy is smart. This guy is tough. This guy who came back from the ankle and came all the way, or the leg injury came all the way back and wanted to play in that national title game. They're a three and three mediocre team right now. So all that stuff in September that we had, all of that joy, all of that celebrating, all of the water and the gatorabats and the walking into the stadium for McDaniel with the sunglasses. They're three and three. They're three and three like so many other teams in league are. Nine others are. Got to get the mojo back. This is a Steelers team that's coming in. They're off a fresh win. They're going to be feeling good. Tomlin's kind of getting these guys believing. They need to get that mojo back. And with Tua back under center, the hope is they will. But I just fear that all that early season hype and excitement, it's kind of now dwindling because of the three straight losses.

I think seeing that from Jalen, that emotion to me just shows like he really prides himself on being like the guy. And I think Tyreek arrived and everyone kind of put the asterisk by

his name for this season. But Jalen was having a fantastic stretch up until that point to him

that probably felt like such a defining moment. He wanted to be the guy when things were getting rough for this team. And then that ball popped out and you just could see it on his face. He wants to be known as that. Yeah, he's had a really good season. He was having a really good game. Sunday, he had a big drop that led to interception. He had obviously the fumble. And you mentioned it, Peter.

They need to get their mojo back.

Waddle, getting back on track will be part of it.
