Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio tells Rich why the NFL has “thrown in the towel” on their Covid-19 protocols in order to save their season, how the Jaguars can get away without having to play Urban Meyer after firing him for cause, and if the losing head coach between the Bears and Vikings (Mike Zimmer and Matt Nagy) on Monday Night Football could find themselves unemployed by Tuesday morning and how the NFL’s new rules on interviewing rules could result in a head coach getting fired even when his team is still in the playoff hunt. 

Rich recounts that time he met ‘Friday Night Lights’ actor Brad Leland who famously portrayed Dillon Panthers Booster ‘Buddy Garrity’ on the acclaimed high school football drama.

In his weekly ‘Overreaction Monday’ segment Rich says if John Harbaugh’s controversial 4th down decisions this season will cost the Ravens and AFC North crown, if Tom Brady’s poor showing against the Saints cost him the NFL MVP award, if we’re on a Chiefs vs Packers Super Bowl collision course, if the Colts are the 2nd-most dangerous team in the AFC right now, if TJ Watt will win the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year Award, and if the Rams, not the Arizona Cardinals, will win the NFC West.   

Cowboys fan TJ Jefferson reacts to Dallas improving to 10-4 on the year but ponders if there’s reason for concern despite currently sitting at the #2 spot in the NFC playoff seedings.
