Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 12 NFL action. They start with the Cowboys overcoming a 21-0 deficit to beat the Eagles on a walk off field goal and they highlight the Eagles inability to run the ball as a massive problem for the defending champs. They argue that Jerry Jones HAS to extend the contract for George Pickens after another dominant performance and credit Dak Prescott’s leadership (3:00).  They move to Shedeur Sanders making his first start in a game where the Browns dominated the Raiders, and believe he showed enough to get the next start at quarterback (25:00).  Colin puts the blame on Daniel Jones for the Colts blowing a late game lead to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, and believes the Chiefs will still make the playoffs despite their 6-5 record (30:45). They move to the Bears beating the Aaron Rodgers-less Steelers and Colin argues that Caleb Williams isn’t a great fit for Ben Johnson’s system, but they’re finding ways to make it work and have cleaned up a lot of the mistakes (38:30).  They recap the Packers win over the Vikings and they declare that J.J. McCarthy has proven he is NOT an NFL caliber starting quarterback and made a huge mistake moving off of Sam Darnold (54:00). They break down the Seahawks win over the Titans and highlight the incredible play of JSN at wide receiver for Seattle (1:00:30), and Colin calls the Lions victory over the Giants a “bad win” and that the Lions defense will sink them despite a great offense (1:05:00). Finally, they pivot to college football and Colin explains why USC can’t ever win big games and why Lincoln Riley deserves the blame (1:17:45). They also speculate on the future of Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin (1:27:45). All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
