Craig and Anthony dive into the Commanders’ recent defensive success, as they rank 3rd in NFL defensive efficiency over the past four weeks. But with three of their last four opponents being struggling offenses—the Browns, Panthers, and Bears—how much weight should we give to these rankings? They assess their confidence in the defense's true potential and discuss whether the unit's performance against tougher teams, like the Ravens, reveals a need for improvement against high-powered offenses.

Craig welcomes ESPN's Clinton Yates to discuss the Dodgers' commanding 3-1 lead over the Yankees in the World Series and the buzz surrounding Game 4's controversial fan interference involving Mookie Betts, which led to the fans being banned from Game 5. Clinton shares his thoughts on the incident and the emotions running high in the Bronx. They also shift gears as Clinton recalls where he was when Commanders' rookie QB Jayden Daniels completed the unforgettable Hail Mary pass, clinching a walk-off win over the Bears.
