You know, we haven't gotten a ton of information, at least to my knowledge of kind of what the injury is. I know he's day to day. And so if he doesn't play, that really hampers their pass game just because he does so much for their pass game, both down the field and the intermediate routes and kind of winning one on one. I do think Bateman's good enough to kind of fill that void a little bit.

I do believe that Tylan Wallace can step in and handle some of the role. Their tight ends are really good.

And it's interesting because the way to attack Pittsburgh defensively, Cleveland actually exposed this like six or seven weeks ago, is you spread them out sideline to sideline and you try to minimize Queen and Cam Hayward and TJ a little bit because you don't want to play those guys in a small space. You want to play them sideline to sideline. So we'll see if he plays.

If he doesn't, I do think the game's closer than I would have if he plays.

Yeah, one, the fix isn't going to be in 2025. There is no fix right now. And then, two, I honestly believe the Chargers – would be a team that I would sit here and go, that's a dangerous team in the long run out of the AFC. I do think the AFC is that three-team race in my gut. Here's the thing for the Chargers before I touch on Houston. They don't have negative plays on offense.

They're always moving the ball forward. They're so efficient. There's never, oh, second and 12 or third and eight. And so they control the game in that regard. Obviously, the defense is phenomenal and their disguise is crazy. I'll go back to Houston.

And I remember the first game of the year against Indy and watching it and going on TV the next day and being like, Houston better figure out their pass protection because CJ was running for his life. And it never got fixed this year. The interior of their offensive line has been the weakest part of their football team all season long.
