Jon & Ollie kick off their preview of the AFC playoffs with a long look at all three matchups, including whether the Texans, Steelers or Broncos can pull off an upset.

Jon & Josh give their thoughts on how Tampa Bay matches up with each NFC team in the potential playoff field, before discussing the subject of Liam Coen's head coaching candidacy.

Jon & Ollie drop their 2024 All-Underrated NFL offenses, with some interesting side discussions about scouting QBs, the state of guard play around the NFL, extra linemen run schemes and more.

Which QB qualifies for the All-Underrated team? How do the guys sort through a host of wide receivers around the league? What player is Ollie most in love with in the entire NFL? Is guard play down around the league, or just a changing of the guard? What can we learn about team-building from all of this?

Jon & Ollie discuss the diverging directions of the Bills and Chiefs secondaries, Chamarri Conner issues, the Dolphins pass game staying elite with Tua, De’Von Achane’s usage/role and Bernhard Raimann’s development in Indy.

Bills - How has Sean McDermott gotten this secondary to play at such a high level? What are the staples of a strong Bills secondary? Is Christian Benford becoming a star in Buffalo?

Chiefs - The Chiefs have a cornerback problem that starts with Chamarri Conner. But has Trent McDuffie been as good as season’s past? Can Kansas City make a roster shuffle to fortify their defensive backfield?

Dolphins - De’Von Achane’s usage/role in Miami has been a masterclass by Mike McDaniel. How is he continuing to maximize the offense despite a down season? 

Colts - Bernhard Raimann has quietly become a highly-graded PFF offensive tackle. Does the film match the grades? Where would Jon and Ollie tier him amongst offensive tackles in the NFL?

Browns - 2nd contract for Jameis? | Jets - Olu Fashanu shining | Titans - Revisiting the Treylon Burks draft pick | Patriots - Brutal returns on 2024 draft picks outside of Drake Maye | Jaguars - Draft priorities? | Raiders - Brock Bowers is OROY

Jon talks in depth about the All-22 tape of the Steelers win over the Commanders, including the secondary struggles, the pass rush's big day, Pittsburgh's offense taking off and Ravens week.

Jon breaks down the Steelers Week 6 win over the Raiders, Najee Harris and TJ Watt carrying, Justin Fields vs Russell Wilson, not getting Davante or Amari and what WRs are left to trade for this year.

Jon and Ollie join forces to talk about the Eagles, Saints, Rams, Bucs, Panthers, Cowboys, Cardinals and Giants following Week 3, including Jalen Carter, the Saints offensive limitations, the Bucs run game & more

Eagles - Vic Fangio’s masterful game plan and Jalen Carter’s brilliance destroyed a previously humming Saints offense. How did Fangio do it? Could the Eagles defense be turning the corner under his leadership? What did they expose about New Orleans?

Saints - New Orleans battering ram of an offense came to a screeching halt in Week 3. Do they have potentially significant offensive line concerns? Are they capable of playing more than one way when their bread-and-butter gets shut down? How did Derek Carr’s old demons creep back up in this game?

Rams - A masterful Stafford & McVay comeback with a bunch of backups was the highlight of Sunday’s action. Jon & Ollie walk through key sequences of the game, detailing how the Rams approach was a winning one. What personnel change was a catalyst for the Rams success on offense? How did they find enough answers without so many key pieces on that side of the ball?

Bucs - The Bucs cannot run the ball, and their desire to base out of an outside zone rushing attack is failing miserably. What are the biggest issues? How many are fixable? Is Rachaad White or Bucky Irving part of the problem or the solution (or neither)?

Panthers - Andy Dalton looked like the best QB in the NFL in Week 3. What specific elements did he bring to the Panthers offense with his play? How did he dissect the Raiders blitz-heavy approach? How competitive are the Panthers moving forward?

Cowboys - Why was Dallas so miserable against the run (again) in Week 3? Which players are most responsible for the team’s complete inability to stop opposing ground games? Are there answers the team can find without making an outside move?

Cardinals - Ollie is impressed with Drew Petzing’s approach to designing offense in Arizona. How are they maximizing Marvin Harrison Jr.? Is Arizona’s player development getting enough attention? How does the volatility of Kyler Murray play into all of this?

Giants - Malik Nabers is on a historic pace of production for a rookie wide receiver. How is Brian Daboll featuring him in the Giants offense? How complete is Nabers skill set already? Are there any previous NFL players Jon & Ollie feel comfortable comparing him to, three weeks into his career?

Jon breaks down a great Steelers defensive performance, including stars being stars on Sunday. He also talks at length about the new additions to the Steelers defense, Fields, Arthur Smith & more.

Jon & Ollie tear through eight teams in the NFC, focusing on the Cowboys, Eagles, Commanders, Rams, Lions, Panthers, Bucs and Falcons in Part 1 of their weekly conference breakdown.

• Panthers - Is the Bryce Young-Dave Canales marriage a disaster already? What is the hope for change? Can Young be salvaged?

• Commanders - How did Jayden Daniels look in his first start? Could he have connected with Terry McLaurin more often? What does he need to do to improve in the NFL? Is Kliff Kingsbury's offense a good fit for him?

• Lions - How does Jameson Williams change how the Lions can play? How has he developed into the potential multi-layered weapon the team needs? Was Week 1 the sign of things to come?

• Falcons - Is Kirk Cousins well? How much trouble is Atlanta in if he isn't healthy enough to do any of the stuff he used to excel at?

• Bucs - What has Liam Coen brought to Tampa Bay's offense? How good can this unit be? What are the areas of concern even admitting how much talent they have?

• Eagles - Is Kellen Moore the answer to the Eagles protection issues against blitzing? What does that mean for Jalen Hurts?

• Cowboys - Mike Zimmer put Deshaun Watson in hell on Sunday. How did he do it? Have the Cowboys found LBs who can really play?

Jon & Ollie discuss the Good, Not Great teams, including a major disagreement at the top, wanting to believe in the Jaguars, the conundrum of the Dolphins and NFC West/South tier breaks. Also, the guys break down one team they are higher on than most and one they are lower on, before trying to determine if they should have more faith in the Cowboys than in the past.
