Mike Tomlin said that the Steelers defense is capable of “much better than that”. The Steelers let Brian Flores walk, which seems to be a mistake. Sam Darnold is historically very bad under pressure, and the Steelers refused to send any. Nick Herbig actually played one more snap than TJ Watt did.

Mike Tomlin said that the Steelers defense is capable of “much better than that”. The Steelers let Brian Flores walk, which seems to be a mistake. Sam Darnold is historically very bad under pressure, and the Steelers refused to send any. Nick Herbig actually played one more snap than TJ Watt did. Patrick Queen didn't really answer questions postgame. The Steelers will likely play Carson Wentz in Ireland, as opposed to JJ McCarthy, due to McCarthy's injury. Callers voice their opinions on yesterday's game. PIT-SEA Game Balls. Game ball number 3 goes to Byron Murphy II for his constant pressure and his TFL. Game ball number 2 goes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who had over 100 yards. Game ball number 1 goes to Kenneth Walker, who averaged over 8 yards per carry.

Teryl Austin said the Steelers defense just didn't play well enough on Sunday against the Jets, the 34-32 win. The issue is that he acted as if that game was a one-off and not a regular occurrence, which is what it is turning into. They have given up roughly 27 points per game in their last 9 games – a number that would rank 30th in the league based on last year's numbers. The Steelers had a strong defensive mind like Brian Flores in their building a few years ago, but they kept Austin over him. Why is it so hard to figure out how much power Mike Tomlin has over the defense?

KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Where does Bob come down on Tyreek Hill and the possibility he comes to Pittsburgh? Bob is worried about the off-the-field issues Hill seems to always find himself in. Bob was impressed by the offense in the Week 1 win, but has concerns over Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington in the offense. Pomp is a little worried about the pair of backs Seattle has in its offense. Bob thinks there is a better chance the Seahawks beat the Steelers than Pitt blowing it in the Backyard Brawl. Pomp has the Steelers winning 23-17 with Jaylen Warren having a big day. Power Rankings – Backyard Brawl moments.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 1 Recap and much more. Munaf Manji (0:17 – 0:59) Munaf introduced the season's first weekend recap, joined by Mackenzie Rivers to break down Sunday's action and preview Monday Night Football. Mackenzie pointed out Baltimore's recurring late-game collapses: “This is the 10th 10-point lead in the Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh era where it didn't go as planned with the fourth quarter loss.” Despite strong stats, the Ravens again fell short. Munaf described how a 15-point lead vanished after Derrick Henry's fumble. Baltimore punted on 4th-and-2, allowing Josh Allen to hit Keon Coleman for the decisive score. Jair Alexander's tackle instead of letting a TD sealed their fate. Mackenzie noted that decision flipped the odds: “As soon as he tackled him, the live line is minus 3,000 Bills.” Ravens scored 40 but defense failed again. Lamar Jackson: 14/19, 209 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Derrick Henry: 18 carries, 169 yards, 2 TDs. Zay Flowers: 7 catches, 143 yards, 1 TD. Josh Allen: 394 total yards, 4 TDs, pushing his MVP odds to +350. Favorites went 11-1 Sunday; unders dominated. Mackenzie used line shifts to grade upgrades: Jaguars, Chargers, Raiders, and Packers. Munaf praised Justin Herbert's performance, Travis Etienne's 143 rushing yards, and Green Bay's defensive dominance. Teams falling: Miami — Daniel Jones looked like “Peyton Jones,” posting 272 yards, 3 total TDs vs. their broken defense. Chiefs — WR injuries (Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice suspended) leave them thin. Giants & Panthers also slipped. Bengals downgraded slightly after Joe Burrow's 113-yard outing; Chase (26 yards) and Higgins (33) were quiet. Jaguars vs. Bengals line movement suggests value on Jacksonville. Bills heavy favorites vs. Jets. 49ers injuries: George Kittle (hamstring), Jauan Jennings (shoulder). Christian McCaffrey still posted 130 yards. Brock Purdy showed poise despite 2 INTs. Bears: New coach Ben Johnson looks to revive Chicago. Vikings: Rookie J.J. McCarthy makes his first start with Jefferson returning and Thielen rejoining. Mackenzie leaned to the under, citing Brian Flores' exotic blitz packages. Munaf backed the Bears +1.5, doubting McCarthy's readiness. Player Props: Munaf: Aaron Jones over 18.5 receiving yards, with nine straight games clearing that vs. Chicago. Mackenzie: J.J. McCarthy under passing yards, expecting a conservative plan. The hosts promoted Pregame.com with promo code “WINNING25,” praised their debut recap, and noted both started 3-0 in Survivor contests. They promised weekly updates with upgrades, downgrades, betting edges, and contest talk. ✅ Key Themes: Ravens' defense undermines elite offensive stats. Week 1 unders and favorites dominate. Chargers, Jaguars, Raiders, Packers upgraded; Dolphins, Chiefs, Bengals downgraded. Betting value: Jaguars vs. Bengals, Bears vs. Vikings under. Player props spotlight Aaron Jones and J.J. McCarthy.

Some NFL stadiums have stenciled “End Racism” in their end zones, and Jason Whitlock asserts on this episode of “Fearless” that sanctioning racism is not the way to end racism. Guest Steve Kim joins the show to discuss Brian Flores' lawsuit alleging discrimination against black coaches in the NFL, Denzel Washington getting defensive against sports commentators — including Whitlock, the Kelce brothers' toxic masculinity, and Shedeur Sanders being sidelined with an oblique injury. The Indianapolis Fever are whining about WNBA officiating, and Whitlock gives his take on the situation during As the WNBA Turns. Great way to end the week with this dynamite show! ​​Today's Sponsors: Craftco Flying Ace Whether you're winding down after a long day or raising a glass with good company, Flying Ace delivers every time.
