BT and Sal open with an emotional tribute to the late Nick Mangold (41), reflecting on the tragic loss of the beloved Jets legend. They then pivot to the Jets' improbable first win of the season, analyzing how Justin Fields outdueled a poor Bengals team, and why coach Aaron Glenn deserves credit for the team's character.

The discussion quickly turns to the Giants' struggles, with the hosts questioning how the 2-6 team is only one game ahead of the Jets, putting Brian Daboll's job squarely on the hot seat. They debate whether having Jaxson Dart at quarterback is enough to save Daboll's job given his history of late-game blunders and the shadow of the Daniel Jones situation. Finally, the segment closes by marveling at the insane buyouts in college football, calling coaches like Brian Kelly's $50 million LSU exit the ultimate "golden ticket" for failure.
