In this hour of The Herd, it's clear to Colin that the AFC's best teams are superior to the best of the NFC—and Raven quarterback Lamar Jackson was the best player on the field as Baltimore dismantled San Francisco Monday night. Also, Colin can see that Dallas is still too reliant on quarterback Dak Prescott's arm after the loss in Miami. Plus, after a dreadful performance against the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy does not seemingly elevate his teammates, according to Colin. Finally, Colin isn't panicking over the Philadelphia Eagles.
