BT & Sal dive into the New York Giants' head coaching search, sparked by a caller who demands a total "clean house." The hosts debate whether interim coach Mike Kafka should get a serious shot, or if the Giants need to prioritize an experienced leader. Tierney makes a case for proven coaches like Mike McCarthy (who won games without Dak Prescott) and Sean McDermott, while dismissing younger coordinators like Chris Shula. Sal argues that former Dolphins coach Brian Flores is the best defensive option if they go that route, despite the lawsuit. They fiercely question the logic of passing on an experienced, successful coach like Zac Taylor (Super Bowl run) for an "unknown" coordinator. Finally, the discussion shifts to the team's appealing assets—a young quarterback, Malik Neighbors, and a potential top draft pick—leading to the question: Do the Giants trade their high pick for more capital, or take a top talent?

Wayne Larrivee breaks down the Vikings' aggressive defense under Brian Flores, rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy's strengths and weaknesses, and whether injured running back Josh Jacobs should play on a short week. The discussion covers Minnesota's blitz-heavy scheme, the Packers' challenging divisional schedule ahead, and why the next three games will determine Green Bay's playoff fate.

The Athletic Vikings Beat Writer Alec Lewis joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to break down all the criticism 2nd-year QB JJ McCarthy is getting right now. Alec explains why Brian Flores & the defense could give the Packers fits.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes opened their show by celebrating the Bears' 19-17 win against the Vikings on Sunday. After that, they shared their takeaways from Bears head coach Ben Johnson and Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores matching wits in Chicago's victory.

Welcome to a new world, where the Bears are in first place in the NFC North all by themselves after 10 games! Yes folks we have only 7 games remaining in the 2025/26 regular season and the Bears are on top. So how did it happen? Well, a pretty ugly ass game, so let's talk about it! Brian Flores is pretty great, and Nine is pretty awful. But how about those Bears? How much should anyone read into this sort of game? And what can we look forward to the rest of the way? Thanks for listening!

The Chicago Bears are now 7–3, sitting atop the NFC North, and the NFL world can't believe it. After their fifth fourth-quarter comeback of the season — and yet another game-winning drive — wide receiver DJ Moore summed up this team in one perfect word: “Resilient.”In today's episode, Haize breaks down what that resilience really means, how Ben Johnson has built a locker room that refuses to fold, and why Chicago continues to find ways to win even when the performance isn't pretty.We break down:

Laurence Holmes & Matt Spiegel react to the chess match that took place between the Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson & Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores yesterday.

BT & Sal are incensed by the latest reports on Giants rookie Abdul Carter, who was benched for a drive due to repeatedly sleeping/missing meetings and a walkthrough. They slam the lack of accountability that started under former head coach Brian Daboll and criticize Carter's flimsy social media defense that he was "recovering." Sal argues that Mike Kafka's light punishment (a drive on special teams) was too weak and a failure to establish necessary control over a locker room "littered with losers." The conversation shifts to the Jets, reacting to the breaking news that Tyrod Taylor will start at quarterback over Justin Fields. BT and Sal express zero expectations for the move but agree it's necessary to evaluate the vertical threats like rookie TE Mason Taylor. The segment also covers potential Giants head coaching candidates, with BT backing Brian Flores as the necessary disciplinarian and Sal supporting Mike McCarthy. Finally, they debate the dramatic possibility of trading Dexter Lawrence to shake up the spiraling organization.

BT & Sal kick off the show with breaking news that the Jets are benching Justin Fields for veteran Tyrod Taylor in Week 12. Sal concedes it's the right move, not for wins, but to finally see what the Jets' young players can do with a "vertical passing threat," even if his overall expectations are "zero." This leads into a heated discussion on the Giants' spiraling lack of accountability, focusing on the shocking report that Abdul Carter was repeatedly sleeping in team meetings and walkthroughs. The hosts debate whether interim head coach Mike Kafka's light punishment (benching Carter for one drive) was too "weak" or a "gentler way" to discipline a Gen Z star, then pivot to the Giants' inevitable head coach search, with Sal stumping for Mike McCarthy and BT doubling down on the no-nonsense approach of Brian Flores.

The Chicago Bears stand at a critical crossroads with a 6-3 record, facing their division rival Minnesota Vikings in what hosts Bobby, C Dub, Steve O, and Big Kev call "prove-it season." After dropping their first two divisional matchups, including a week one loss to these same Vikings, the Bears need to show they're legitimate playoff contenders in November's meaningful football.The crew breaks down the offensive game plan against Brian Flores' aggressive defense, emphasizing the importance of establishing the run game with their 150-yard-per-game rushing attack. They discuss quarterback Caleb Williams' growth, his "hero ball" tendencies, and how receivers like Luther Burden must step up. Defensively, the focus shifts to containing rookie quarterback JJ McCarthy and playmakers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, with Austin Booker's return providing a crucial speed-rushing element opposite Montez Sweat.Tune in for bold score predictions ranging from blowouts to nail-biters, plus unfiltered takes on special teams struggles that could derail playoff hopesPodcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Our Sponsors:* Check out Cigars International and use my code BEARSCENTRAL for a great deal: https://www.cigarsinternational.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Brian Flores and the Minnesota Vikings Defense is Back --- A Northern Digital Production

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over the post-Daboll Giants, arguing that if star QB Jaxson Dart is out, the team has "no reason to watch" and should embrace tanking for a better draft pick to set up the next head coach. The hosts slam the Giants' hierarchy, highlighting the "Call of the Day" where a caller accuses the owners of compounding problems and "not being football guys." The discussion then pivots to the coaching search, where they intensely weigh the experience of Jon Gruden (Super Bowl winner with an old-school personality) against the consistency of Sean McDermott (perennial playoff contender with the Bills), while also acknowledging the baggage of Brian Flores. Finally, the duo briefly commiserates over the ongoing struggles with the "Unperfect Perfect Parlay", with BT vowing to move to three- and four-team bets to finally escape the curse.

Before our Cleveland sports beat reporter, Daryl Ruiter, joins Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin for the latest surrounding the Browns loss on Sunday and Quick Hits, the two discuss whether the Browns are intentionally tanking or not.

It's purple on purple violence in Minnesota when the Baltimore Ravens face the Vikings. Baltimore has faced aggressive defensive coordinator Brian Flores in the past with forgettable results for Lamar Jackson.

We're at the mid-point of the NFL season, the trade deadline has come and gone, and the Ravens sit at a surprising 3-5 record that they'll spend the next several months trying to dig their way out of. They got off to a good start of that a week ago tonight when they dispatched of the Dolphins in Lamar Jackson's first game back from injury, but this week poses a different test. The 4-4 Minnesota Vikings are off to a shaky start of their own at 4-4, but are fresh off of a victory over their division rival Lions who are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Perhaps as inspiring as the win was the fact that their young QB J.J. McCarthy returned from an injury of his own, and led the way with two touchdown passes after some had begun to lose faith in him. Facing a potentially revitalized McCarthy, a Brian Flores defensive scheme that's given Jackson fits in the past, and a talented roster in a loud environment, the Ravens have their work cut out for them this weekend. Can they pull it off? Jake and Spenny are here to give their predictions as always. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Analyzing the Offensive Struggles and Future Challenges Welcome to the latest edition of the Detroit Lions Podcast, where we dive deep into the Grey areas of our beloved team's recent performances. After a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Vikings, there's much to dissect, from the offensive line challenges to coaching decisions. Let's break it all down and see what needs to change as the Lions move forward. Offensive Line Woes Perhaps the most glaring issue in the Lions' recent performance was the offensive line's health and effectiveness. The injuries have piled up, with key players like Mahogany possibly out for an extended period. Taylor Decker's struggles with multiple injuries and Penei Sewell's visible discomfort highlight the precarious state of this crucial unit. Brian Flores exploited these weaknesses, applying relentless pressure through blitzes that the Lions struggled to counter. The offensive line is the heartbeat of Detroit's offense, and its current state is a cause for concern. Coaching Conundrums Dan Campbell and his coaching staff have some soul-searching to do. The team came out of their bye week unprepared in all three phases: offense, defense, and special teams. The season-high ten penalties and poor execution point to a lack of readiness that needs immediate attention. With a crucial stretch of divisional games ahead, the coaching team must reassess their strategies and ensure the players are both physically and mentally prepared for the challenges ahead. Quarterback Quandaries Jared Goff is under pressure, both figuratively and literally. With a faltering offensive line, Goff has been given little time to make plays, affecting the passing game's effectiveness. For the Lions' offense to thrive, Goff needs a protective pocket and more time to connect with his receivers. This becomes even more critical as the team faces formidable defenses in upcoming games. Schedule and Divisional Games The Lions' schedule doesn't get any easier, with vital divisional games on the horizon. After going 6-0 in the division last year, the team now finds itself at 1-2, making every upcoming game crucial for playoff seeding. Trips to Minneapolis and Chicago are never easy, and the Lions must capitalize on these opportunities to stay in the playoff hunt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

JJ McCarthy's Impact and Growth: An In-Depth Analysis on The Real Forno Show—In this episode of The Real Forno Show, host Tyler Forness dives deep into Minnesota Vikings' quarterback JJ McCarthy's performance in their recent victory. Forness evaluates McCarthy's strengths and areas of improvement, while discussing why box scores can be misleading in assessing his performance. Key topics include McCarthy's handling of pressure, his mechanical development, and the importance of process over results. Additionally, the show highlights Brian Flores' defensive tactics against Jared Goff and the Lions, the impact of offensive line performance, and injury updates for the Vikings. The episode emphasizes the importance of nuanced analysis and forward-looking optimism for the Vikings' future. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:21 Host Introduction and Show Sponsorship 01:25 JJ McCarthy: A Measured Analysis 02:39 McCarthy's NFL Journey and Performance 09:04 Mechanical Issues and Improvements 15:09 Mental Processing and Blitz Handling 24:25 Scheme and Blocking Considerations 31:15 Analyzing McCarthy's Performance 33:43 Coaching Decisions and Trust in McCarthy 38:18 PFF Grading System Explained 43:40 Vikings' Defensive Strategy Against the Lions 49:39 Injury Updates and Player Performance 56:34 Upcoming Games and Final Thoughts ____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ At Fans First Sports Network - https://www.ffsn.app/teams/minnesota-vikings/ ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/5q_7wx-4gUg FAN WITH US!!!

Chip Scoggins is a columnist for the Star Tribune. He joins Chris Egert to talk about a massive Minnesota sports weekend. They start with the unlikely Vikings win over the Lions in Detroit. They discuss JJ McCarthy's young emotional leadership, signs of life from Brian Flores' blitz heavy defense and a potential reset in offensive chemistry in the WR room.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Bye-Week Sharpening, Vikings Test at Ford Field The Detroit Lions come out of the bye at 5-2 with a chance to plant a flag atop the NFL conversation and the NFC North. This week's show framed Sunday as less about a reset and more about a reveal. Dan Campbell's group has shown flashes in all three phases, but the complete game has not landed yet. With Minnesota visiting and Ford Field loud, the expectation is clarity on identity, execution, and urgency. Offense on the Clock: Jared Goff, Jamo, and the Run Script The hosts put Jared Goff squarely in focus. Minnesota under Brian Flores sends pressure from everywhere. That puts premium value on protection IDs, early-down efficiency, and Goff's pre-snap control to punish single coverage rather than settling for third-and-long checkdowns. The desk made no secret of it: this is a statement spot for Detroit's QB to orchestrate a complete, four-quarter effort. Receiver usage also drew attention. Jameson Williams was the offensive pick to watch, with the note that when Jamo pops, the whole structure loosens and the Lions look like themselves. Expect shot plays layered off quick-game rhythm to keep Flores honest. In the run game, the show highlighted how defenses are spilling runs and compressing edges, which challenges tight end blocks and condensed formations. The ask this week is decisive crease hits for Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, plus cleaner edge fits so outside zone becomes an explosive option again. The interior duo of Christian Mahogany and Tate Ratledge earned praise for growth, but the emphasis was on translating that into first-down wins that unlock the full playbook. Defense with Teeth: Kelvin Shepherd, Alim McNeil, Branch, and Hutch On defense, Kelvin Shepherd has leaned into disguise and pursuit angles that rattled Baker Mayfield before the bye. Now the personnel sharpen. Alim McNeil's interior gravity returns as a central theme. His ability to collapse the pocket straight into the quarterback's lap gives Aidan Hutchinson and the edges favorable one-on-ones and forces rushed decisions. The show flagged Minnesota's banged-up tackles and a rookie quarterback as an opportunity to flush without freeing escape lanes. That is Shepherd's blueprint. Coverage should look deeper and faster with Brian Branch back. The plan anticipates Branch closer to the line in leverage roles while Detroit mixes man-match with rally-and-tackle rules on the perimeter. With DJ Reed trending toward a return soon and Terrion Arnold working back, the “Legion of Whom” that carried Detroit into the break now gets reinforcements. Add in Aidan Hutchinson fresh off his extension and the hosts could not hide their expectation that Detroit dictates down-and-distance and forces Minnesota to play left-handed. Bottom Line The spread ticked up late in the week, but the show cautioned against scoreboard math in a divisional game. The directive is simpler. Start fast. Own first down. Trust Goff to attack pressure. Let McNeil and the front set the terms. With the bye behind them and the building behind them, the Detroit Lions have the pieces to turn a strong start into a November surge. Now it is time to put the complete game on tape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BoNgTG3Ls Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Steve Kim joins the show to react to Whitlock's observations and provide his own list of most memorable sports moments. Whitlock offers his 10 NFL Truths. Whitlock argues that Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa are making Brian Flores look good; Travis Hunter is a defensive player; Green Bay had no business beating Arizona; and more. Guests T.J.
