It was freezing.

Texans game was cold and rainy snow.

Yeah, and look, Drake missed a lot of throws, and I don't know what was going on with his shoulder.

I thought that was the worst throwing game he's had since the Vegas game.

But he made some stuff happen with his legs.

He put together a 10-minute drive that effectively gave them the lead for good.

And I just don't think, I didn't think he was good by his standards, but we've seen a lot of quarterbacks kind of be up and down like that.

The problem is the next game, Darnold and Stafford were both awesome.

And then you watch that first game, and then you watch the second game, and you're like, oh my God.

There's also the Sam Darnold piece that I think people have just slept on.

The Patriots, I would say, is it fair to say, kind of ended his Jets career?

That was the tipping point, right?

For being thoughtful about his circumstance.

Yeah, just because he was a good writer.

So the sports movie version of this is, well, now he gets to exercise the ghosts and play the Patriots again.

His career has come full circle.

The Patriot fan side of me is like, it's fucking Sam Darnold.

We're still paying interest on that guy from when we owned him a couple of years ago.

And I'm trying to talk about some of that.

House, what's your case for Seattle just easily winning this game and covering?
