Chris Russell finally addresses a question A-MAC asked him off the air after Washington’s humiliating 31–0 loss to the Vikings.

The two dive into a spirited back-and-forth, each defending their team’s honor (or what’s left of it), before opening the phone lines and letting listeners weigh in on which organization truly holds the crown for chaos.

After another standout performance from Cooper DeJean, who was flying all over the field making plays, the Rooster reads a tweet reminding listeners that DeJean was not only a second-round pick but the very pick the Eagles acquired from the Commanders.
