This year, obviously, we're getting the touchdowns that we didn't have last year, I guess you would say.

But I feel like every single year I'm more comfortable with in the offense.

I'm more comfortable reading defenses.

And I understand where the balls may go even before the snap of the ball.

All right, it's a Monday edition of Pro Football Talk Live.

Let me do now what I didn't do last hour

because we got knocked wobbly coming on air with the whole in-your-face routine by the Saints

because God forbid we thought the team that was favored to win the game was actually going

to win the game last night and it was not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who won the game.

The show is Pro Football Talk Live. We're on Peacock every weekday morning from 7 to 9 Eastern

live. Series XM 211 every morning live. NBCSN 9 a.m. Eastern, not live, but hey, you know what?

It's still the same stuff, and it still is as good or as bad as is live, so quit complaining. And then our good friends in the UK and in Ireland get to see the program at 7 o'clock, prime time, local time, every single day. Podcast, listen, whenever, wherever, however you choose. Chris, I never said good morning to you. Oh, hello. Maybe I don't wish you a good morning.

Most days I don't.

Today I do.

Good morning.

How are you? I'm doing well. Thank you very much. Thanks for checking in an hour and 20 minutes later. Thank you. Appreciate that. Well, we did have to deal with fresh business right out of the gates. the Saints calling us all a bunch of idiots because we we picked the Buccaneers.

Everybody picked the Buccaneers.

Saints fans probably picked the Buccaneers. They're probably Saints fans that did the emotional hedge bet on the Buccaneers and thought, hey, either way, I can't, I can't lose. Either I win some money or I'm happy with the outcome. So, yeah, there's a reason the Buccaneers were favored. They were supposed to win the game.

They didn't. Either I win some money or I'm happy with the outcome. So, yeah, there's a reason the Buccaneers were favored.

They were supposed to win the game. They didn't. Anyway, enough of that. We talked about that for a half hour. What we're going to talk about now, as we always do in the second hour of the program at the very top, superlatives. Go ahead. You lead it off today. I will. and I'm going to start with the Welcome Back McCaffrey Award.

Christian McCaffrey Award.

Christian McCaffrey back and did not miss a beat in helping the Carolina Panthers put a scare into the Kansas City Chiefs.
