Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Michael Penix Jr., the Commanders loss, the Chiefs dominant win and more. 

Yesterday, the Kansas City Chiefs delivered a dominant performance, shutting out the Las Vegas Raiders with a 31-0 victory in the "Reese Boowl". Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the way, throwing for 286 yards and three touchdowns before being pulled in the third quarter due to the Chiefs' commanding lead. Wide receiver Rashee Rice, returning from suspension and injury, made an immediate impact by catching two touchdown passes in his first game back. With the win, the Chiefs improved to 4-3 on the season. Are the Chiefs back?

Last night, the Atlanta Falcons fell to the San Francisco 49ers 20-10. The Falcons struggled to establish momentum throughout the game, despite quarterback Michael Penix Jr. throwing for 241 yards and a touchdown to Bijan Robinson.With the loss, Atlanta drops to 3-3 on the season, raising concerns about their consistency and ability to perform against playoff-caliber teams. The 49ers, now 5-2, solidify their standing in the NFC West. While the Falcons showed flashes of potential, they’ll have to step it up if they want to stay competitive in the playoff race. Is Michael Penix the answer for the Falcons?

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders 44-22. Dak Prescott led the Cowboys' offense with 264 passing yards and three touchdowns, continuing his strong record at home against Washington.

Brown hauled in four catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns, while Smith recorded a career-high 183 receiving yards along with a touchdown of his own. Are the Eagles back?

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders 44-22. Dak Prescott led the Cowboys' offense with 264 passing yards and three touchdowns, continuing his strong record at home against Washington. Washington’s offense took a major hit when starting quarterback Jayden Daniels exited in the third quarter with a hamstring injury following a strip-sack. The Commanders were also short-handed, missing key wide receivers including Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, which limited their offensive options and contributed to their struggles. With the win, Dallas improved to 3-3-1 on the season, gaining momentum in the NFC East. Meanwhile, Washington dropped to 3-4, facing growing questions around depth and quarterback health. What can the Cowboys do this season? Are the Commanders in trouble?

The deal, which averages around $11.6M per year, comes after a highly successful debut season in which Cignetti led the Hoosiers to a 10-2 record and a College Football Playoff appearance in 2024. University leadership emphasized their full commitment to Cignetti, describing him as their top priority and pledging additional investment in coaching staff and player resources.
