What's up sports fans? Week 11 of the NFL season brought some surprises, some close calls, and some expected bad beats. The Lions barely survived hosting Chicago, and Aiden Hutchinson got his big-time moment. Matt Eberflus should be gone, but Justin Fields might stick around for the Bears (03:25). We talk about the death knell of turnovers for the Vikings in Denver (04:40), and consider if Joshua Dobbs can keep making magic. We discuss Kareem Jackson's suspension, and look at the NFL's rules for player safety. Devon throws his support behind Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas (09:19), and CJ Stroud thinks he's Steph Curry. Plus, is it finally time for Trevor Lawrence to take the throne we've expected him to claim all along? We point out the issue with the current NFL playoff structure (12:50), and debate the chaos of the NFC West. Also—Devon called the Seahawks missing the playoffs back in Week 1, even though Alex isn't convinced. We give Brock Purdy his flowers for being perfect (17:04), and talk through the Eagles and Niners as the best NFC squad. We lament our shared win-less fandoms, and examine the potential tradeoff of a few bad years for a Super Bowl win. Tommy Devito might be New York's best QB, and we talk about the ideal backup QB (23:25). Alex goes top rope on Deshaun Watson (25:30) and calls out the Browns for excusing his horrific behavior, and Devon echoes the sentiment for a few teams who need to cut ties with expensive players. After a Ravens win, we talk about a potential hidden injury for Joe Burrow (29:20) and the implications of sports gambling. Zach Wilson swapped for Tim Boyle means the Jets won't be welcoming Aaron Rodgers back this season. We agree Philly fans have reason to be excited (39:00), and expect much better from the Chiefs. Also, Jalen Hurts—good quarterback (40:40), period. Alex also points out that the Ravens could be joining historic greats, and the top teams might be settled soon. We hit Power Rankings (44:02) to wrap things up.
