Brian talks to NBC Sports’ Tom Giles about the Patriots season thus far, their struggles with the passing game, how the secondary will fare against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, and game picks (0:30). Then, Brian and Jamie take a listener call, chat about Bill Belichick’s latest comments on the ManningCast, and discuss Pats-Jets a bit before getting into some surprising Celtics snubs in the NBA player and coach rankings from CBS Sports (39:30).
