Boomer & Gio

This morning unpacks a wild Sunday: The Bills completed a massive 21-point comeback against the Patriots, but the league is reeling from likely torn ACLs for Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons. Jerry delivers updates on the Jets' 48-point embarrassment and the Vikings' win over the Cowboys, while Gio makes a bold Rams Super Bowl lock and debates the price players will demand for an 18-game season.

It was a big NFL Sunday that saw the Bills pull off a comeback thriller against the Pats and the Jets suffer a humiliating 48-point collapse, but the big story is the brutal injury bug hitting two superstars: Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons both went down with likely torn ACLs. Jerry arrives with the Commanders' win over the Giants and the fallout from the Vikings beating the Cowboys, all before the crew reacts to Fernando Mendoza winning the Heisman—and the outrageous social media post from runner-up Diego Pavia.

We dive into the big NFL Sunday stories, from the Bills' miraculous comeback over the Patriots to Trevor Lawrence's 6-TD dismantling of the Jets, plus we salute 44-year-old Philip Rivers for almost pulling off a win after five years of retirement; meanwhile, Gio defends the idea of an 18-game season with two bye weeks, but he's already willing to bet the Rams are making the Super Bowl.

Then, Jerry delivers his final update, highlighting the Jets and Giants' combined 5-23 record with sound from the losing QBs and winning coaches. Plus, we break down the Mets' signing of Jorge Polanco and if Francisco Lindor could be next to go, before closing the hour with the shocking news of the alleged murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.

We started with Jaxson Dart after the game talking about not playing well enough. Aaron Glenn talked about losing big in Jacksonville. The Vikings beat the Cowboys on SNF and JJ McCarthy had a great game. Of McCarthy, Boomer said, ‘there's something wrong with this kid'.

The Chiefs are out of the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Maybe that's not a great thing for the NFL viewer.

Dave Portnoy took to social media to gloat about his Patriots a little too early. Joe Burrow incessantly blaming himself for getting shutout by the Ravens. Sean McVay talked about clinching a playoff spot. Dan Campbell talked about how good the Rams are.
