Middlekauff reacts to rookie sensation Bo Nix defeating Jameis Winston, who threw for nearly 500 yds and 4 TDs, in a shootout and tips his cap to an enjoyable Monday Night Football matchup featuring the BEST 3-9 team in the NFL. John gives the Denver Broncos their flowers for backing up the Brinks truck for Sean Payton, then drafting former Oregon and Auburn QB Bo Nix, en route to turning around one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.

Then, another electric edition of outhouse/penthouse where John salutes the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and more.

After, John dives into the Chicago Bears head coaching vacancy and debates whether it is one of the NFLs premiere jobs, or if the Monsters of the Midway era is officially over. John wonders if former No. 1 overall draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams can turn around the fortunes of the struggling NFC North franchise before turning his attention to the AFC with Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs and MVP-frontrunner Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills.
