Chapter 2: How did the Steelers defeat the Ravens?
And let me be the first to wish a congratulations to the Toronto Argonauts and the Grey Cup. And the Grey Cup.
And the CFL. And the Grey Cup. We start in Pittsburgh, where you can throw out the record books when these two teams play. Many people think you can't win a football game without getting in the end zone. But Boswell, actually you can as Chris scored six times for the Steelers. LaMarvelous became unremarkable on Sunday as the Steelers' defense bottled him up, forcing fumbles on Likely and Henry.
Likely Henry? That's what Tiffany Gomas said when asked who smashed a hole in her back wall. The Steelers put a stranglehold, choke me daddy, on the AFC North. Steelers 18, Ravens 16.
Bonk. We go to Michigan. Get up. Everybody's going to score TDs. Get down. Jameson says, hold my D. Got to lose your coach in Detroit. Brock said, hey. As the Lions punked the Jags. And even Brock Wright got it on the action with a touchdown. Doctor says, I need a macchiatomy as Jones couldn't help the broken spine of the Jaguars. And I haven't seen anyone miss Lawrence since Darren Aronofsky.
Doug Peterson is looking less like Quail Man and more like Fail Man as it's only a matter of time before he's fired. Now that's funny. Lions 56, the Jaguars, Lions 52, the Jaguars 6.
Down in Miami where it's a John New World order as Smith scored twice and had over 100 yards receiving. Through a tough start to the season, Mike McDaniel told fans that if you don't love me now, you'll never love me again. I can still hear you saying you will never break a chain. As Devon laid the fleet wood on the Raiders' defense all afternoon long.
19.
A lot of Brock's this week, boom. A lot of Brock's. A lot of Brock's. A lot of Brock's. A lot of Brock's. In Nashville, Sam Donald Schwarzenegger said, I'm back. Nick Westbrook and Kenny Rogers says, You got to know when to hold them. Know when to scold them. Know when to walk away. Know when to run 99 yards for a score.
Brian's super-Callahan-alistic Titans are atrocious as Tennessee remains the chimney sweep of the AFC South. But a spoonful of draft picks helps the losing go down. The Vikings, 23. The Titans, 13.

Chapter 3: Why did the Bears lose to the Packers in a close game?
Ka-chow! All right, we had to stick it in the AFC East.
Memes. In MetLife Stadium where Anthony Soprano Richardson finished off the big pussy, which is the Jets defense. No spoilers, boom. Metta World breeze caused malice at the Meadowlands as he scored two touchdowns of his own. Drinking Josh Downs said to the Jets defenders, whoa, just take it easy, man, as he scored a touchdown.
As far as Aaron Rodgers, it was time to quitty pay the piper with a sack and put an end to this game and the Jets season. Colts 28, Jets 27.
They shot him on the boat, boom.
No spoilers. Did a drink with him first. We finish in Buffalo where the Bills were flaunting their bodies as Curtis Samuel showed a lot of legs and Khalil Shakira Shakira said these hips don't lie as he went whoop and whoop and some spread on the Chiefs defense. Xavier, we are not worthy, had Chiefs fans saying, came on, Garth, after a first-half score.
The game was back and forth, back and forth, as Noah, 50 shades of gray, had Josh Allen feeling like he was back in bondage after a second touchdown. But the Bills finally got their release, shooting a massive Buffaloed and a win.
No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.
Bills 30, the Chiefs 21.
Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston, Cuyahoga. Such a fine sight to see. He's throwing seeds against his old team. Revenge against New Orleans. The Gumballs spoiled it. You gotta boil it. Rizzy clogged the mic. A pregame toilet.

Chapter 4: What notable performances came from the Rams vs. Patriots game?
You know what? Let Tony Khan do it. Yeah, let Tony Khan get on the sideline. Let's wait. Let's wait until we get to the Jaguars-Lions. Let's get into the games. We'll start with the most important game from Sunday, and it was Steelers 18, Ravens 16. Exactly how you expected a Steelers-Ravens game to go. We said this on Friday. All they do is play close games.
All you got to do is take the underdog, and the Steelers win the game with... Six field goals, never getting into the end zone.
Not the best game from Russell Wilson, but I think this was the game that was like, damn, the Steelers need to be taken very much for real because their defense just bottled up a very, very explosive Ravens offense, and they now have a two-game lead in the AFC North, and they are in play for a one seed as well because the Chiefs lost. So the Steelers, like you had...
I actually think if you went in this game and you said that Russell Wilson was going to play like that, I would say the Steelers had no chance because it was all kind of short underneath. He had that one really nice pass to George Pickens, but when he was pressured, he was sacked a bunch of times, threw one of the worst interceptions in the end zone, but the Steelers' defense did it.
Yeah, the Steelers' defense, they take away the long ball. They're like, we'll give you stuff underneath. And really, I feel like this game came down to a couple things. One was the Derrick Henry fumble on the very first drive, one of the first plays of the game. That added up with the missed field goals by Justin Tucker. He might actually be bad.
Who now should either fake an injury and be like, yeah, I've been dealing with this since week two. I don't know, just say that you've had a hamstring problem that's gotten worse. Yeah. Or say that you've got the measles. But there's something wrong with Justin Tucker.
And we've been calling him washed, I think, ever since... It might have been 2017 when he missed that extra point against the Saints.
Yeah, it's how this show goes. We're very rarely right about... The only times we're right, it usually is because we joke about something and then enough time elapses that it becomes right. Because we were the first that Justin Tucker has washed as a joke. And now I think he legitimately might be washed. He's 30th in the NFL in terms of accuracy this year in kickers. He also lost.
He's no longer the most accurate kicker of all time. So he's in a battle by percentage points. It's basically like tallying votes. Is that Coup? I think California still has like a million votes still left to go. No, it's Eddie Pinheiro. Oh, really? Eddie Pinheiro is 89.38%, and Justin Tucker is 89.32%. If he goes three for three in his next three, he will be back at number one.

Chapter 5: What went wrong for the Jets against the Colts?
Harder position to play, too.
Yes, that's accurate. I will give you that. We are an international podcast, so I will make sure to cede important points to you. Yes. But, yeah, Justin Tucker, there is an actual issue with him. I don't know. If I was Harbaugh, I would probably just say that he was injured because you can't bring in competition to kick against Justin Tucker if he's healthy, right?
I mean, he still came in. After he missed those two, he hit a 50-yarder later on in the game. So he's still good. He's just not Justin Tucker. The Ravens essentially just have an average kicker now where it's like, I hope it goes in if it's deep. Yeah. That's essentially it. And then the big story, though, is Lamar can't figure out the Steelers. He's now 1-4 in his career against the Steelers.
He has as many wins against the Steelers as Russell Wilson has against the Ravens in this rivalry. And the one win is against Mason Rudolph. It was Mason Rudolph and Duck.
Yeah, in 2019. Yeah, you got half of Mason Rudolph, and then you had Duck Hodges in the second half. Besides that, he hasn't gotten it done. Now, I looked this up. I went back to the start of the Harbaugh-Tomlin rivalry. So I think that's 2008. Matchup between these two teams since 2008. The total points, Steelers are now winning by 10 points. That makes sense. Over the course of that entire time.
That's an average of .3 points per game. Yeah. Between the two of those guys. Every single game.
Every time. It's within a touchdown. It's usually a weird score. This was a weird score. Yeah. If it's a two and a half point spread, just take the two and a half because it probably will be a one point game. And yeah, it was pretty shocking to see the Ravens. Defense be bottled.
Actually, weirdly, both defenses like I felt like overperformed because I knew the Steelers defense was really good, but I thought, you know, the Ravens offense is really, really good. So they would have more success. And then the Ravens secondary has been a problem all year and the Steelers weren't able to to like gash them really. Yeah. So it's just both these teams.
They get together and they just play old school football every time. On both sides, it was like neither team wanted to make a mistake. Yeah. And so they were just taking what the defense was giving them. And the Steelers, yeah, the difference was the kicker in this game. A great kicker and a wash kicker.

Chapter 6: How did the Dolphins handle the Raiders?
Why aren't they in the category with everyone else when it comes to their defense?
They are. Their defense has always been good. This modern era of the Steelers, they've always had a dominant defense, but then they've had to go out there and win games on their own sometimes.
I would be concerned a little bit about Russell Wilson because he was great in the fourth quarter against the Commanders, but he wasn't great the first three quarters. And then this game... Are we getting back to like Russell Wilson just throwing check downs and being a little, you know, when he's under pressure, he doesn't have the mobility that he once had.
I'm going to chalk it up to just going against the Ravens. Okay. Just the Ravens didn't want to give up anything big.
That interception that Arthur Smith's face during that interception was perfect because everyone was like, what are you doing?
Russell Wilson had the largest target, maybe in the NFL. Yeah. The largest pass catching target. And he just airmailed it by about, well, it really wasn't. that high of a throw, I would like to see Washington try to jump up in the air.
Agreed. He should have played defense on it, but it was more time and place. It's a 15-10 game. If you get a field goal, you're up eight, and the one thing you can't do is throw an interception. And then we also had...
unfortunately for Justin Fields his it didn't it will fortunately it didn't matter but his one big play was actually a really smart well-designed QB run by Arthur Smith to try to win the game late and get that first down and he slid like a full yard and a half short and then he gave like the first down because
He didn't know where the sticks were. That was bad. And then they zoomed in on his face for about 15 seconds on this. I feel like that's most of the camera time that Justin Fields gets is right after a boneheaded mistake where they just show him staring off into the distance like he's in Vietnam and zooms in on him and he just looks upset. We also had we get this every week.

Chapter 7: What were the key moments from the Bills vs. Chiefs matchup?
I got fully baited. I got fully drawn back in. Thought the Bears were going to win this game. Really thought the Bears were going to win this game. Matt LaFleur goes to 11-0 against the Chicago Bears. We haven't beaten them since 2018. I got completely baited. So I went back a little bit further than that. Oh, it's like 52-14 or something?
I went to in the Favre-Rogers-Love. Yeah, since 92. In the Favre-Rogers-Love-Willis-Love era, the Packers are 51-15. Flynn. 51-15 is the actual record.
Yeah, 50. Yeah. I mean, we can't beat them. And this is a game we should have beaten them. And we played better than them. And it doesn't matter. We have a stupid fucking head coach. There was a guy who wanted me to apologize to Matt Eberflus halfway through this game. Matt Eberflus is now 14 and 30 as a head coach. He's five and 17 in one score games. He's 5-17 in one-score games.
And I want a little credit. Shane Waldron being the worst coach of all time, that actually turned out to be true. Yeah, the offense looked pretty good today. It looked significantly better. They basically were like, Caleb, get the ball out fast. We're going to try to run the ball. They called even amount of runs and passes. Caleb got the ball out of his hands in 2.3 seconds average.
He was decisive. On third and fourth downs, he was 10 for 12 for 112 yards passing and 40 yards passing. Yeah, 40 yards rushing. You got 10 first downs on those plays. Like, even the end of the game, third and 19. Like, the Bears played well offensively all game. Then you get to the last two minutes. It's like, all right, he's got to go on a drive.
And they reverted back to the Bears of the last three weeks. Sack, sack. And then Caleb gets him out of it. He's now, in the last four weeks, he's gone on two game-winning drives that Matt Eberfuss has fucked up.
Yeah, I think if you're a Bears fan, don't let the fact that you had a game-winning field goal distract you from the fact that Caleb should have been sacked on that play that he got out of and converted a miracle first down.
It's just the fact that it's the Packers. That's the part that really kills because it's – I'm not stupid to think that this team is a playoff team. And in reality, I don't even like... Matt Iberflue is such a bad head coach, I don't want to keep this going for much longer. But the Packers, we can't beat the Packers. They have voodoo magic. Matt LaFleur is 11-0.
You have Caleb Williams, get him to field goal range, and then all the quotes afterwards, just outcoached again. Rich Bisaccia, who we like, said in the team meetings on Saturday night, he said that he would be shocked. He wouldn't understand if they came out of the game today without a blocked field goal or extra point.

Chapter 8: What are the National Sports Podcast updates?
He's the opposite of Dan Campbell. He's the exact opposite of Dan Campbell. It's like he's... He's Nad Campbell. It's so fucking frustrating. And at this point... So... The part that really hurts is the Packers because we can't beat the Packers, and we finally were going to beat the Packers, and then, of course, we get a field goal blocked.
By the way, I thought you couldn't touch the center when he had his head down.
So I was going to give you some copium because I've got the screenshots, and I looked at them. Oh, yeah. The people who are complaining about a no call on that, you're actually right. They bowled over the long snapper on that last one.
Yeah, I'm not going to complain because it's like the Bears are the Bears, and this is just – It was just bound to happen. I can't believe I fell for it. I can't believe I thought we were actually going to hit that field goal. But at this point in the season, if we had won this game 5-5, oh shit, we might be back in it. I'd start thinking it. At this point, it makes it pretty cut and dry.
Just salvage Caleb's rookie season, more days like today, and make sure that you lose enough games that Matt Eberflus is gone.
Yeah, so this might have been the perfect result then.
But it's still the Packers. That's the part that hurts. If it was anyone else, I would have been like, I could have, if it was the Vikings, if it was any other team, I could have twisted myself and been like, you know what? That was actually a good loss. The fact that it was the Packers and Packers fans are going to go away being like, oh, we're so much better than the Bears.
And yeah, I know they are, but like they're throwing love. It's throwing interception every fucking game.
I got a question for you, though. When it comes to the low kick trajectory thing, that's not really a coaching point. Cairo Santos has to kick with a low trajectory because he's got a very accurate leg. He's a good kicker. Correct. But he doesn't have the biggest leg in the world.
