And how many subscribers do we have on that front?
Oh, one million. Subscribers, at least. and counting and we greatly appreciate all of that we say hello to everybody watching us on disney plus And ESPN Plus. listening to us on ESPN Radio presented by Progressive Insurance. Hello, Christopher Brockman.
Good to see you. I feel like we've already done a full show. Yes, yes. I'm spectacular. Good to see you.
TJ Mike E.D. is indeed nuts. Good to see Mike Del Tufo. TJ Jefferson, the candle is lit. What's going on over there, sir?
Help! Welcome, cowboy. See, that's what happens. If you have your microphone open, he's gonna jump in first. Is this microphone just not working everything?
I knew he was going to do that. I know. Rich, you were talking about the coaches starting the bank. I think Jimbo Fisher is a good one. Oh, he's probably going to be a hard guy.
He's got a little bit more money than he has to. That's true. And that bank already has a very old Christmas tree out in front of it, the one that Jimbo threw out, right? Speaking of Texas AM. At any rate, 844-204-Rich is the number to die on the program.
Let's start with Sunday Night Football. Why not? Not a revenge game. And Aaron Rodgers told us, essentially, he's going to go full fav. Which is get drafted.
His drafting pisses off the veteran that was there. The veteran that was there dilly-dallies about wanting to stay there. Then Rogers finally gets that start. He becomes the first Ballot Hall of Famer. only to have somebody drafted to Kind of piss him off.
Then he stays there, goes back and forth about whether he wants to be there. Then the team essentially sends him. Uh packing. to the Jets, just like Fav, right? And then that craps out, um then he goes somewhere else with a chance to win the Super Bowl.
Okay. And uh and then basically uh we'll wind up. In the Packer family, retiring as a Packer and a wave to fans for the rest of his career in the Packers. Have a relationship with him because that's what he said this week: he doesn't view this as a revenge game. Um Mariuchi said on Game Day Morning, it's more of like a Remember Me game.
Well, and and and and that's basically making sure the fans in Green Bay Did you know he played 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers? That's the most of anybody there ever. Yeah. Two more than Starr and Mason Crosby and Favre. Nobody's ever played 18 years for the Packers.
And so, as I mentioned, totally got it, totally believed it that he. isn't viewing this as a I'll show you you should have kept me Because you already did that. By winning two MVP awards after they traded up to go take Jordan Love to surprise. Rogers and basically As we said last week, his revenge games were played. For the Packers.
While he was still a Packer. And then he realized his time was up. Let's go see where else he can play and win. And he's 4-2 going into last night's home game. wearing, you know, throw out jerseys if you Don't mind me saying.
Like, throw him out, like, get rid of them. Yeah, yeah, get rid of them. Throw him out. Throw out jerseys. I don't know what they're, whatever.
But long story short, he's out there in the throwback jerseys from the Great Depression. And now the Packers, yada, yada, yada, put the Steeler fans in a Great Depression because the Packers showed up last night. with the kid. Who is all right? And you got to give it up to Jordan Love, man.
The day would come we all figured that he would play against Rogers. And we all knew this was the year. When Rogers went to Pittsburgh. And the Steelers had the Packers on their home schedule. And we found out it was going to be a week eight Sunday nighter.
And the. Folks in the league office you knew would serve it up on a, you know, that piece of filet mignon for the whole country. And they did it on Sunday night football. And all Jordan Love did in the game in which he was on the same field as Rogers. trying to go point for point with Rogers.
And Rogers would get points on the board through The leg of Chris Boswell three times to take a 9-7 lead in this game. And then A 16-7 lead in this game, a nine-point lead in a game. that the Packers just overwhelmed The Steelers. In the second half, because Jordan Love, all he did was come up against. Aaron Rodgers' defense.
But in a game in which he's going against Aaron Rodgers. The highest passer rating of his career, 134.2. 29 for 37, 360 passing yards, second most in his career, three touchdowns. Four games now with multiple passing touchdowns and no interceptions this year. Only Jalen Hurts has more of those.
16th career game with multiple passing touchdowns and no interceptions, and his 40th. Career start the only individual. all time. who has more such games and his first 40 career starts is named. Patrick Mahomes, you're going to see go at it to night.
That's what Jordan Love did. Last night. And the Packers. Yeah. come up with their fourth win of the season.
decided by two or more possessions. Five one and one right now. They took Over this game in the second half and popped 35 on that Steelers defense. To win by 10. 454 yards of total offense, you know.
Matt LaFleur could not have been more pleased. And he said exactly what was On everyone's mind when it came to Jordan love, finding You know, Tucker Kraft is tight end on National Tight Ends Day, and then Christian Watson comes back. All he does is catch four Balls for 85 yards. Coming off of the putt list, and LaFleur took to the mic afterwards about love. It's great for Jordan.
Jordan's worked his ass off to get here. Um You know, he was patient. throughout the process, throughout the journey. And he just took advantage of the opportunity. He really did.
And I thought, you know, it's been cool, and I've said this many times, just to watch. How he's matured as a young guy coming in here at 21 years old, and he's a grown-ass man now, and you see it. what he does um how he carries himself. He just is so confident. He's a great teammate.
He encourages the other guys. He's a hell of a leader. And he's really grown as a football player. I don't blame him for gushing about him, right? Because it was grooming for this moment.
Jordan Love after the game had this to say about the moment. Yeah, for sure. You know, there's that, like you said, there's that added level of pressure. You know, I knew coming in this week this is going to be a very hyped-up game and very talked about game for A-Rod coming back and playing against the Packers for the first time. And, you know, obviously us going up against each other.
So, you know, that. And like I said at the beginning of the week, my mindset was just trying to come out here and focus on getting that win. Trying to block all that extra stuff out and just be the player I need to be and focus on what their defense does and find ways to take advantage of that and come out here and getting this win. But definitely I knew coming to the week what this was entailed in this week. Yeah, and the way to take advantage was to just keep finding Tucker Kraft seven high, career high, seven receptions for a buck 43 and two receiving touchdowns.
The uh last tight end. With 1040 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in a primetime game is named Travis Kelsey, who we'll see tonight on ABC's in ESPN's Monday Night Football. And Christian Watson did what he did. Josh Jacobs did what he did. which has come up with his 70th career rushing touchdown.
tied for second amongst active players with This is insane. Josh Allen. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, Emmanuel Wilson got 61 rush yards, too.
I mean, it was all cooking. Mm-hmm. Mm. All cooking as love became just the third quarterback. In um in Green Bay history to do something.
Which I'll tell you about on the backside of this sound bike that I'm sure he dreamed about. When he was backing up this guy in Green Bay, wondering when he would ever get his shot to play a game and start a game for Green Bay, let alone go against this guy. Yeah, I thought J Load played great. Use super efficient. You know, he didn't get sacked, moved around really well, made some plays outside the pocket.
Tell your played outstanding. I mean You know, Rogers wanted to have the best game of his life. Last night. Even though it was not a revenge game, which again, I believe. Because there's tons of people he he adores there, but you know, he wanted to show up and show out.
And for him to again, you know, say it was outstanding. It's honest, and it's also cool of him to say that, because I'm sure, again, Jordan Love. Sitting in that quarterback room, soaking in as much as he could from Rogers and taking whatever advice he could get or hoping he would get. Um And then turning into the quarterback that did what he did last night against Rodgers' defense in a game against Aaron Rodgers is a dream come true for love. Rodgers and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in Green Bay history.
The throw for 350 yards. No interceptions and no sacks taken in a game. Oh, he also had 20 straight completions. in the contest. Tying.
Brett Farr for the longest streak in a game. by a Packers quarterback this century.
So You got it done. And this is exactly what We all talk about certainly If you're a national Show like we are, or if you're In Wisconsin, or you are like our audio executive and owner of two shares of the Green Bay Packers, or one, because you gave one away. You're a big man. I mean, it's so valuable. You gave away your one and a pet rock to somebody.
Um Is that And this is amazing, last night they showed the stat. During Sunday night football, That 97% of the game since 1992 for Green Bay have been started by either Favre, Rogers, or Love. Cooper at age 14 goes, Dad, that's insane, says a 14-year-old. Born in 2011. Yeah.
And it's nuts. How you go from one guy to the next to the next. Obviously, Jordan Love has got a lot to go to join Rogers and Favre in the ultimate pantheon of Super Bowl winner and first ballot hall of famers. But Last night just kind of confirmed it. And then you look again at what Love is doing for this team right now.
As he turns 20. On Sunday, he'll play on his 27th birthday for Green Bay. taking on the Carolina Panthers at home. That Age 27, as we know, is when Bart Starr won in 1961 for championship. It was Favre's age when he won his Super Bowl for Green Bay.
It was Rogers' age when he won his Super Bowl for Green Bay. And this Green Bay team is set up. to make that run. They're currently first. In the NFC at five, one and one.
And that NFC North is shaping up just like last year, where the winner might be the one seed and the loser. might be the top wild card. First place gets to have a week off. Second place gets to go on the road to take on somebody like the Rams or the Seahawks or the Bucks or the Niners. Good luck.
That's the way it's shaping up right now. Packers and Lions, by the way, kick off your Thanksgiving triple header. That will be big. Lots of big games between then. Including the Packers and Lions, both taking on the Eagles, who we'll talk about in a second.
But Green Bay is that team. Young guys on defense buzzing around everywhere. Micah. Mac playing at the top of his game right now. Really, like the guy who needed to be worked in, wondering about his back, how many snaps can he give you?
That guy's gone. The micah that we've known from Dallas is showing up, which is Sean Gary and the rest of that front seven coming at you. And then on offense, it's a whole host of guys that you don't have on your fantasy team because you don't know if it's going to be their night or not.
Okay. It was a Tucker Kraft night last night. You probably do have him in your Fantasy League, but... You don't know who's going to get it. You have no idea who Jordan Love's going to pick you apart with.
Bunch of people where you're like, really? Hold on a minute. Oh, yeah, he's available to 95% of leagues. That guy who just scored, that guy who just came up with a first down. They're young and fast.
They've got a run game, and they've got a quarterback, and they've got a coach. Yeah. And we talk about the Colts destroying people. They've got the best record in the league, and the only other, only one lost team in the league at 7-1. As I mentioned, to start this whole segment, Green Bay has won four games decided by two or more possessions.
Only Indianapolis has more with five. Green Bays. win last night gave him six games by of scoring at least 27 points Only Indianapolis has more with seven.
So, right now, the Packers are an elite team. And then the Pittsburgh Steelers are now 4-3. And once again, we're wondering what's up. A team that starts fast and then can't finish. The season again.
Is that what's happening again? Four and three. It helps them that the objects in their rear view mirror are not nearly as close as. They might appear, although we'll talk about the Ravens making a run potentially now.
So They still lead the division by multiple games. There's still a lot more rubber meeting the road. Rodgers does look good. He doesn't look old to me. But sometimes the offense just starts sputtering.
They don't Pop it in the end zone when they need to. Just the timeliness for this team appears to be off. Right now. Had they actually scored touchdowns instead of settling for field goals in the first half, might have had a different result.
Okay. if they could get off the field defensively. more often with their name stars that they have out there. it would lead to a different result. Um And I know it's going to wind up in Tomlin's lap.
Locally again. And You're just wondering if this doesn't finish up well, would this be the time that they finally do part ways? You got to start to wonder that. For sure. And next up for them.
are Two Tough games. the cults who I just mentioned who are just eviscerating people. running Jonathan Taylor down everyone's throats. And Daniel Jones is making Some flawless quarterback play. consistently Appear.
In a way that we've never seen from him. He's playing at the absolute top of his game. They're next in Aquisure. before the Steelers visit the Chargers. who are getting healthier and better.
But it really is about their division schedule. The Bengals just did something Uh filthy to their bed. Yesterday. Try to be as clean as possible for the Disney Plus ESPN app audience and the radio folks.
Soil?
Soiled it. That would be easy. Indeed. And they have both against Baltimore. Take care of those business.
Games, and you're going to host a game with Aaron Rodgers for the playoffs. It's just that simple. You know, win your division games. They're still right there in front of you. Despite having some really difficult contests, Detroit, they play.
Again, they've strolled through their entire. Aaron Rodgers NFC North Farewell Tour. is happening right now. Pittsburgh has to go visit Detroit, which will not be easy. They have to visit Chicago, where Rogers, as you know, owns the franchise.
They have buffalo at home as well. It is really tough. But The way through is to win your division. They currently lead it. With a 4-3 record and the only one that's close to them.
Is the 3-5 Cincinnati Bengals, the 2-5 Ravens as well? They play them both twice. Win those games. Then you have to worry about who's coming in your house. For a wild card contest, it doesn't matter the rest of your record, you're two in front.
Two in front. of the second best team right now. Hold on. may or may not have borrow back for one of them. That's my two cents on the Steelers.
Not looking good right now. It does look like it's falling apart again. We're anemic. We're not performing well. It's the coaching, it's this, it's that.
You know, we're not playing complimentary football. We're not playing clean football. The end of the day, win your division games, you win your division, you host a playoff game, and see what happens. Get that lottery ticket. But they have to do it by out-scoring teams.
And like you said, they can't get the ball in the end zone.
So that's kind of a big issue.
Well, I mean, they can on the chunk place. They just the red zone. Like, it seems like when they score, Rogers is throwing again from the north side of the 20. Yeah. You know?
And he does look good. He looks way more spry than that video of him. Remember, running through the ladder during summertime. And he looked like Fredgie Sanford and was like, uh-oh. He does look spry, and his arm is as good as ever.
He's really neck up. He's playing, he's Rogers. He's outperformed, I think, what most people kind of thought going into the year, but their secondary is brutal. They're, you know, lasting yards allowed. They've given up 700 yards passing in the last two games.
All right, when we come back here on the Rich Eisen Show, 844-204-RICH, number to dial. I'm done with the tush push. I'm not lying to you. I'm done with it now. Nats, next.
I'm with the Packers on that front.
Now you're done. Yeah, it's. And I'll tell you why. And then of course we pour one out for Scatterboo when we come back. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast.

Back on the Rich Eisen Show. on ESPN Radio, presented by Progressive Insurance. Listen, I have been a defender of the tush push around these parts. Because it's a football play. Yeah.
You can do things off of it other than just push the quarterback's ass for a first down. As a matter of fact, I think they... They gave the ball to Saquon earlier this year. He just scampered right into the end zone. Yeah, let's sweep.
So I've been a defender of it. And I know Green Bay was trying to legislate it out, and we had our fun with our show by. You know. messing with the uh copy of their Their proposal to the league ownership. Uh, this vote.
a few months ago to say basically One of the reasons why we want this out, there's the player safety issue, but we can't stop it. That's the general sense, is everybody wants it out because you can't stop it. You can only hope to contain it, to use Dan Patrick's phrase. And you're right, you can't stop it. I mean, didn't we see, you know, and it's getting farcical.
Last year got completely farcical on the NFC Championship, right? when um I believe uh the son of uh Hoculi. The hoc the hockey progeny. By the way, is that a band? Is that a cover band?
Hey, definitely have a bunch of bad bad bands. Come on, you see my cover band tonight. You know, they opened up in 93. Is that right? Um You remember it was a louvu of Washington, kept jumping over the line of scrimmage.
I like that. He basically got on the mic and. Threatened to pull the NFC championship game car over to award a touchdown. Like, you know, we can award a touchdown to the other team, you know? It was essentially what he was telling the crowd.
Knock it off! I remember getting all group chats! I remember getting all group chat like, can you do that? Yeah. I think Pereira hopped in to say he could do that.
Play survived, as we all know they're still using it. And I'm now officially. After what I saw yesterday. Against the Giants, I'm done with it. Because the league can't Get the officiating of it right.
And they swore a couple weeks ago when Fox had a gajillion cameras on the Eagles, because the Eagles play, you know. Quite a bit. one would think on Fox for the whole country to see and they're you know they're fifty camera games that are, you know, 4K and everything. You can see some of the offensive linemen firing off before the snap as they're shooting down the line in the small little tunnel of it. Of space that you could see between the offense and the defensive lines, all lined up for this scrum.
And then yesterday, I mean... If you're going to rule forward progress is stopped on somebody who has clearly fumbled the ball. During the touch push. Then it's truly an unstoppable play because the number of times. You could call Jalen Hurts stopped on forward progress during a tush push.
I I'd lose track. And then all of a sudden, all the fucking pile goes three, and then the pile goes through. Like, when?
So now.
Now You know how every rule change that the competition committee considers They always talk about if we pass it, what is the unintended consequence? that we're not thinking of. The unintended consequence of this tush-push has now reached the point of. Guess what? We're great at it because A, we've got a quarterback who's a load.
He's a truck.
Okay. His lower half. You know, Saquon on occasion will just like look at the lower half and go, Oh, okay, I see it. Right?
So, Hertz is not going to get hurt, and he's not afraid of being, well, he's not afraid of being hurt, Hertz. And The offensive line is terrific at it. And now they have the unintended consequence of You can't officiate it. You're putting the refs in a spot now. And so now if you can add on top of it, oh.
You not only stopped it, you turned it over on him, but Sorry, we ruled that Hertz's forward progress has been stopped. It's like, oh, really? Because it seems to be stopped every time, and you let it go until he's shoved into the end zone. That was a fumble yesterday, people. Won a hundred percent and Listen, would the Giants have been able to win that game anyway?
Who the hell knows? Saquon didn't. Make it even worse, run it in for the second time. After the got the ball back when they shouldn't have. But I'm done with it, man.
It's just not fun to watch. It's so inevitable. And now if they can't officiate it. then you gotta just get rid of it. Because they have trouble officiating it.
And Dave Ol lost his mind yesterday. He had every right to. Kayvon Thibodeau, did you? I don't know if you saw what he said afterwards. He's basically called out the officiator.
I think Brian Burns screamed out in the background, they're going to find you. And he goes, oh, I thought it was a great playoff. Yeah, he completely played. He just real quickly. He cursed about it.
Because his wallet was on the line, and I understand it. Let's just put it this way: he wanted to stop. The forward progress of the fine letter showing up in his locker. Shout out to Burns for looking at him. But I don't think he was as successful at stopping that as.
The Eagles were successful at running this play again. And now the officials were supposed to say, like this couple weeks ago, they're like, we're on this now. If they're jumping off sides, we're on it.
Now it's like, oh, that fumble. That's his forward progress. It stopped. And it's just like, so what? Give me, g let's break down the tape.
of what A tush-push looks like when the forward progress is stopped, and see if we can be consistent on calling that. Can we? Of course not. It's impossible. It is a scrum, it is a mosh pit.
every time, and that's to the benefit of the Eagles. It's the unintended consequence. It puts the pressure on the defense and it puts the pressure on the officials to basically say, call us out on it. And you just flood the zone every single time. It's.
It's kind of like politics today.
Okay. Not to get too crazy. This was Dayball after the game on on the non-fumble. Right, with the uh Tell you on the the two. Just push fumble play and And why did you who did you challenge afterwards?
Yeah, I'd just say our guys upstairs were pretty adamant about challenging to play. I have a lot of trust and faith in them, and it didn't work out. Not going to get any particulars, though, with it. Were they when he initially said you weren't allowed to challenge it, he did again. Were they wrong that you weren't allowed to challenge it?
Yeah, no, I I respect it. I'm not going to get into the particulars of it. Yet I got a lot of confidence in the guys we have upstairs with that stuff and uh it just didn't work out.
So I'm done with it. If they get rid of it, I won't miss it. Flat out. I'm finished with it. It's my two cents on that.
Like As for the game, let's talk about it. Eagles look good. I mean, the Eagles, I know so much hand-wringing about, you know. Are they any good? We spent a good five minutes on NFL Game Day Morning on Sunday morning about what's their identity.
What is their identity? That's the issue. A.J. Brown was out. Let's find out what their identity is.
And I think their identity, sure, Hurts throwing it to Dallas Goddard as much as he did. That's one thing. And Hertz just throwing it is another thing. It goes through 26. I mean, let's just cut the BS here.
Mm-hmm. If 26 is on point, and they can run it with 26. It all works off of that. That's how they. That's how they greased teleponed polls and had a parade last year.
It's just that simple. Does he have to run for 2,000 yards in a season? No. But If he's running it... And they start grinding you down, then the play action is just going to open wide up.
And that's it. Just run the guy. Fourteen carries 150 yards. Uh you know. And he didn't return after a groin injury in the third quarter after another massive run by him.
But they didn't need him. That thing was finished. And um And I think Jalen Hurts is pointing out. It works well with him under center. That may be another thing that they've uh discovered I enjoy being on the center and being able to accomplish things within our run game.
And find a flow. I think when you have more variety and you have a different variations of what you do. you definitely can build off of that. And so I think the the best of them usually are able to attack people in different ways and they can pick their poison in that. And I do think that element of of what we do, it is always done something for us.
Um and We just want to continue to build off of that. That's it. Then that's it. Rip the knob off. Keep the Kelly Green uniforms while you're at it.
Yeah, agreed. 38 points. 427 total yards, 276 rush yards. Those were all season highs. That's it.
Leave him under center as much as he wants. Get Saquon going and you're you're win football games. There's a six and two. Remember last year they were two and two. They went into a bye, came back and only lost, I think, once, if not twice, the rest of the season.
They're going to buy. Let's get them healthy. And I'm sure it'll be refreshing for them that they come off a win and it's not all about Is A. J. Brown happy?
Well, stay tuned for AJ's socials this week.
Okay, fine. Then, you know what? They just. They just came up with 250 or more rush yards and four passing touchdowns in a game. For the fourth time, just the fourth time.

So lay it on his lap. He can handle it. You know? And the whole team, that's I think they're happiest when they're unhappy. They're kinda like you in Boston.
It's a northeast thing, maybe. It's a northeast thing. That might make sense. Listen, it's an east coast thing. I think I just.
Maybe oversimplify it. Oh man, let's take a break. We come back. We'll talk about the Giants a little bit and what happened in the game from them from that standpoint. Also still to come, we'll talk about the Ravens potentially making a run here.

Dot com. Let's talk about a bummer. Camp Scataboo having his leg broken into pieces and Just How Popular has Cam Scataboo become in just seven plus National Football League games. Is that He received A loud ovation. in Philadelphia.
being carted off. And I'm not just saying that that's not in any way, shape, or form. Calling into question the humanity of Eagles fans who are very sensitive on the subject matter, and understandably so. I get it, I get it. But I think they love his play too.
I think they respect his play as well. And Apparently the Giants You know, you could see you texted the group, TJ, that When we're like, how bad was it? How bad was it? How bad was it? Because the Fox didn't show a replay.
Right. And you're like texting Jackson Dart's response, said it all. You're right. It said it all. And then the aircast shows it to you.
Don't look at the replay. It's awful. It's terrible. I actually saw it live. Yeah, I hear you.
Don't do it. Um And It was Uh not uh I mean That was a hip jock tackle. It looked like Zach Bond dragged him down. I'm sure he doesn't intend to break his leg, but that's why they try to make these hip jock tackles. Illegal.
Well, they have made it illegal. There was no flag for it. I'm wondering if Bond's going to get a fine for it. Um But it was not called it was just a an part of a day where The Giants got a A bomb of a touchdown after the injury call back on an offensive pass interference that was highly questionable as well. The tush-push went.
the way that it went. This was Dayball after the game talking about Scatter. Yeah, um feel absolutely terrible for the Young man. Obviously you saw it or It looked look bad. Um You know, you feel for anybody on your team that goes down.
and has a really bad injury and I feel and I know the players feel the same way. Uh about scat. And I feel for Dayball too, man. I mean, Dart is clearly. Clearly.
A breath of fresh air. He's got the juice, man. Right. And then they lose Malik neighbors in the game in which they finally push the button for him. Start to start?
And now a few games later, Scatterboo's out for the season. And these aren't just like, well, we'll see if they can come back in week 12 and see what we got. Yeah, they're definitely going to be. This is 2026. See ya.
The Giants just cannot catch a break. Other than the fact that they they clearly caught Wind. Beneath their wings, if you will, with this kid Dart. He's the real deal, man. Um But I feel for the Giants and Scataboo too.
I hope we get to see him back in 2026. You know, looking like the scataboo that we've seen right now. Because when you see an ankle injury like this, A fibula Lower leg. I mean, Aiden Hutchinson's balling out like a. like he used to.
So hopefully we'll see Scataboo do the same thing. But man, the Giants Oh gosh. No luck at all. With that, next up for them is San Francisco, which I know is already. dreading playing in MetLife again 'cause they lost half their team the last time they played there, I think.
Then the Giants are at Chicago, home for Green Bay at Detroit, and then at New England. I mean goodness gracious. It's only going to get tougher. We'll see how Dart helps navigate it, and that defense is awesome. But they up front, they give up way too many points, and I'm wondering if the DC is going to eat it there, too.
Straight up. 844-204 Rich, number to Dow. One last team to hit. The end of our first hour. And then our phone call, your phone calls, we'll take them all, I'll show right here on Disney Plus, the ESPN app, and ESPN Radio, presented by Progressive Insurance.
Could have told you a few weeks ago. This team is not out of it. was referring to the Cincinnati Bengals. in the same way, thinking that Jake Browning was going to help him come back. And then Joe Flacco helped him come back.
Until the Jets just came back on him. We'll talk about that later on in the program. But uh The Baltimore Ravens are not dead yet. I mean, they're they're kinda like I mean there's all sorts of Monty Python Holy Grail references here. They're not dead yet.
You know, everybody was bringing out their dead of one in five team. They're not dead yet. And then there's all there also like that dark night that, you know, it's just a flesh wound. Yeah, obviously. Snoop Huntley, everybody.
He showed up. He showed out. But he's like the pro bowler he is.
Well, Snoop Huntley, good one. Snoop Huntley, once upon a time, did fill in for Lamar Jackson and looked pretty damn good. Um And that's the Snoop Huntley that showed up yesterday for the Ravens. who got two touchdowns from Derrick Henry. By the way, wise to just let let's lean on Derrick Henry.
And let's get a few plays from Snoop Huntley. And let's get Snoop. playing clean football, 17 to 22. A touchdown. That he threw To uh A tight end named Kohlar, talk about National Tight Ends Day, right?
And Derrick Henry scored twice. As um He's now Third place all time with career games of two and more rushing touchdowns of 29. He is seven behind Amet and nine behind L T. And The uh the Huntley Uh start was massive. That was it.
And then, you know, they took care of business defensively against Caleb Williams. Um who had tons of time to throw, but Just couldn't find anybody. Other than Roma Dunze again, seven for 114 for him. No takeaways for the Bear defense. That was huge.
They had three or more takeaways in each of their previous. Uh four games. No takeaways, and that's all she wrote there. Bears at 4-3, though. They'd assign for that.
Coming into the season, and certainly after starting 0-2 this season. They decided for it. We'll see what happens moving forward. Little bit up. Roll it down.
They're going to go through that roller coaster with Caleb and his first year with Ben Johnson. It's tough for Bears fans to watch, you know, when Bo Nixon, year two, looks like that, and Drake May is off to an MVP start. But the ravens Come up with that win. Lamar. Looks like we're going to see him in Miami to kick off week nine on Thursday.
And then after that Two more on the road in a row at Minnesota. We'll see how they look with J.J. McCarthy. And they were at Cleveland. Home for the Jets.
Then they get Cincinnati twice around the first of two games against Pittsburgh. All right. You can make some hay right there. You can go on a nice run, and guess what you can do? You can win the division.
They still have their games against Cincinnati. in Pittsburgh. right in front of him, and one more against Cleveland. and they are only two back. And Lamar's comin' back.
Look out. It's there. It's there in the ether. Can they make it work? Can they make it happen?
They've dug themselves a hole where the margin for error is small.
Well, the desert thinks it's going to happen. They're minus money to win the division. Already. Minus 105. They're two behind the Steelers.
Steelers plus 175. Here I am thinking I'm ahead of the curve, and Vegas is like, There's a curve, sir. We're horrible. We create, you're ahead of the curve. We create the curve.
Pretty much. What? Yeah, you're good. Oh, I thought I was so smart here. All right.
What can I tell you? I'm following the pack then. Because I'm seeing it, you're seeing it, everyone's seeing it. I mean, they could easily win the next five. Suddenly, they're seven and five into their first Steeler game, and you're like, okay, the Ravens are back.
Right. Yeah. It's right there, but they have to win the games we expect them to win and not lose the games that we don't expect them to lose like they did in falling to one and five. Correct.
So let's see. Let's see. But um Well done, Ravens. That's a big win for them coming off their bye to save their season to 2-5. 844-204-Rich is the number to dial right here on the Rich Eisen Show.
We'll chat with the ESPN radio audience a little bit more when we come back in a moment. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast. Mm-hmm.
