John is back reacting to a late-game thriller that saw the Los Angeles Chargers and superstar QB Justin Herbert take down Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 34-27.

John Middlekauff returns after another edition of Monday Night Football between the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa facing off against Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. John discusses how the Los Angeles Rams offense has looked stagnant since their team has gotten relatively healthy and wonders if the Rams are in trouble in the NFC West. Then, Middlekauff explains why this loss was “devastating” for Sean McVay’s squad who now finds themselves behind the 8-ball in a playoff race in the NFC. Despite having Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back the Rams couldn’t figure out how to move the ball against a Dolphins defense that stepped up to the plate on a big Monday night, and now they face an uphill battle heading into the second half of the NFL season. John salutes the Dolphins dynamic weapons in Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane and Tua Tagovailoa for knocking out a 23-15 win and explains why the 3-6 squad is better than their record indicates. Then, another edition of Penthouse/Outhouse featuring Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the hapless New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and the Port-a-Potty Carolina Panthers. Next, John wonders what current college football coaches, such as Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffin, could jump ship and head to the NFL like Nick Saban, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. Finally, John hits on a few major stories around the NFL. The Chicago Bears' dysfunction starts at the top of the organization. What are the Indianapolis Colts going to do moving forward? New Orleans Saints interim head coach, Darren Rizzi, clogs the toilet and wins a game. Jerry Jones continues his nonsensical ways.

John is back to discuss the thrilling Sunday Night Football tilt between the “team of destiny” Detroit Lions and Houston Texans. Middlekauff salutes Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions for holding on to win 26-23, despite Goff throwing 5 interceptions in a hard-fought battle in Houston, Texas. Middlekauff uses tonight's messy first half to illustrate the Detroit Lions resilience and explains why coming back from being down 23-7 is a testament to the NFC North’s grit and mental toughness and explains why the Lions might be on par with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs this season. John breaks down the Detroit Lions impressive comeback and explains why both teams’ struggling quarterbacks led to a gritty battle in a big game that saw the Detroit Lions move to 8-1 on the season. Then, John explains why the Houston Texans, who burst onto the scene led by rookie QB CJ Stroud last season, seem to have lost the magic that got them into the NFL’s playoffs in 2023. Next, John dives into the state of various “ugly” NFL franchises such as the New York Giants, Caleb Williams & the Chicago Bears, Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets, Dak Prescott & the Dallas Cowboys and several others.

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 10 Sunday action!

They start with the 49ers dominating the Bucs but barely pulling out a win in a showing that proved the 49ers are “leaking oil” and why their poor special teams could cost them (4:00).

They break down a lifeless performance from the Jets against the Cardinals and why Aaron Rodgers has become “Washington Wizards Michael Jordan” (18:45) and explain why the Chiefs last second win said more about the Broncos and why Sean Payton finally has his Drew Brees in Bo Nix (33:00)

They parse another disastrous offensive performance from the Bears with Caleb Williams regressing and debate whether Matt Eberflus should be fired in-season (40:00). Colin declares the Cowboys are the worst team in the league (54:00) and they debate which head coaching opening in 2025 is the best (01:03:00)

Finally, they dive into college football and discuss why the regular season doesn’t have the same sense of urgency with the 12 team playoff and why the transfer portal has created a power imbalance between coaches and players in a way that’s bad for the sport (01:22:00)

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 8 NFL action!

They start with Sunday Night Football and the Niners holding off the Cowboys. They point the finger at Jerry Jones for signing bad contracts and mismanaging team personnel (7:00) and point out that Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott are very similar quarterbacks…with wildly different paychecks (15:00)

Then, they break down a crazy hail-mary finish between the Commanders and Bears and rip the Bears for their absolutely horrific offensive game plan and explain why they made a mistake drafting wide receiver Rome Odunze instead of drafting an offensive lineman (30:30).

They point to a total “systemic breakdown” for the Jets after their third straight loss since firing Robert Salah and highlight their defense getting progressively worse (40:00). They both agree Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson can’t function as an NFL quarterback and agree that if the Colts want to win they need to start Joe Flacco (55:00).

They call the Eagles win over the Bengals one of their most important, and call out Bengals ownership for being cheap and refusing to support Joe Burrow with a quality supporting cast and coach (01:09:00), and contrast that to the coaching job Sean Payton has done with the Broncos in order to get a subpar roster to a 5-3 start (01:17:00).

Finally, they discuss the huge ratings so far for the Yankees vs Dodgers World Series and point out to the star studded lineups for both teams as one of the drivers of huge fan interest (01:25:00)

First, Colin reacts to the Chiefs hanging on to beat the Falcons on the road and Colin rips the Falcons play calling in their final two drives (3:00)

Then, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the early games!

They start with the Rams coming from behind to upset the 49ers in what Colin calls one of the worst losses ever for Kyle Shanahan (17:30). They move on to the Eagles beating the Saints in a game that exposed the Saints but showed the limitations of Jalen Hurts at quarterback (25:00).

Then they react to the Vikings and Sam Darnold demolishing the Texans and why Kevin O’Connell’s coaching has brought the best out of Darnold (40:00). They explain why the Cowboys have regressed and won’t have a cakewalk in the NFC East with the Giants finding their footing with Malik Nabers emerging into a star at wide receiver (49:00).

They wonder if Matt Eberflus could be fired midseason if the Bears can’t find an offensive identity after losing to a struggling Anthony Richardson and the Colts (59:00) and break down a breakout performance from Bo Nix and the Broncos (01:09:30).

John reacts to the Houston Texans' 19-13 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football. The big question: Is Caleb Williams starting to look like a bust after all the hype surrounding his No. 1 overall draft pick status? On the other hand, C.J. Stroud looked fantastic, leading a well-balanced Texans team that seems like a legitimate contender with strong performances on both offense and defense.

Later, in this week's overrated/underrated segment, John takes a closer look at several teams and players. Did we underestimate just how bad the New York Giants really are? John also admits he may have overrated Bo Nix, as the rookie quarterback looked overwhelmed running Sean Payton's offense in the Broncos' loss to the Steelers. On the flip side, Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has matured and is playing at an elite level—when he's dialed in, he's one of the most dominant QBs in the league.

John gives his instant reaction to the San Francisco 49ers' dominant 32-19 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. He awards the game ball to backup running back Jordan Mason for stepping up impressively in place of Christian McCaffrey. John also praises quarterback Brock Purdy for continuing to prove doubters wrong, highlighting his consistent performance. He emphasizes that if the 49ers can stay healthy, they have the potential to be a legit Super Bowl contender with their dominant defense and creative offense led by Kyle Shanahan.

Additionally, he raises concerns about whether the Jets' defense is overrated and wonders if Haason Reddick will end his holdout and provide much-needed help. John also evaluates Jets head coach Robert Saleh, questioning if he's the right fit for the team. He also introduces a new segment called "Penthouse or Outhouse."

Later, John dives into why we saw low passing numbers from quarterbacks throughout the league, how impressed he was with the Colts-Texans game and after Week 1 Anthony Richardson looks like the real deal and picked up right where he left off last season before his injury, and finally how Jerry Jones and the Cowboys owned Sunday by announcing a new contract for Dak hours before kick-off.

Then Colin is joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 1 NFL action!

John dives into the news out of Chicago where it was announced that Caleb Williams was not going to play in the Hall of Fame game.
