Rich recaps the Dodgers’ nail-biting walk-off win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Wildcard Game, and laments how pervasive analytics have greatly removed the possibility managers will leave their aces on the mound deep into playoff games. 

Ravens DE Calais Campbell tells Rich how close he came to retiring after last season and what got him to come back for his 14th NFL season, how Baltimore go past their rash of ACL injuries to key players during training camp, why the team trusts head coach John Harbaugh implicitly, why Justin Tucker might be the best kicker in NFL history, and what challenges await them on Monday Night Football when they face the Colts.

Rich previews the pivotal Week 5 AFC showdown between the 3-1 Chargers and the 3-1 Browns which leads to a debate on whether or not Baker Mayfield would still go #1 overall to Cleveland if we re-drafted the 2018 quarterback class.
