Dan Rolinson and John Townley are LIVE for the midweek Claret & Blue Q&A.

-Michigan has been pretty loud in recent weeks…including Yaxel Lendeborg saying last week that they believe this Michigan team could be thebest of all time in college basketball…and then the Wolverines decided to take shots at the B1G after they lost to Duke-They're not necessarily wrong that Duke might be better defensively than teams in the B1G, but it's odd to take shots on the league you playin…right? Duke wins, 68-63Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Spring visits are fast approaching and some of Nebraska's top targets have already lined up plans to be in Lincoln next month. In this week's episode of Recruiting Blitz, Inside Nebraska's Tim Verghese discusses ten recruits Nebraska MUST get on campus that have yet to line up visit plans. On the offensive side of the ball, the Huskers are battling Indiana and Penn State for one of the nation's top running backs. The Huskers find themselves battling Penn State for a top wide reciever target as well, who happens to play with Trae Taylor on the 7-on-7 circuit. At tight end, Penn State is surging for a target who's visited Nebraska more than any other program. Along the offensive line, the Huskers could soon host multiple five-stars and are well-positioned for a versatile four-star out of Georgia. Defensively, a top EDGE target has lined up a few national visits, will Nebraska get one? At defensive tackle, Nebraska hopes to impress a fast-rising 300 pounder. At linebacker, a top regional target has drawn attention from top national programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and Georgia. Can the Huskers maintain their position? At defensive back, the Huskers are working to stay in the running for one of California's top cornerbacks and could get over the top with the No. 7 safety in the country in the coming weeks.

GRADING THE NEW YORK GIANTS 2025 SEASON I'm grading EVERY NFL team's 2025 season based on the film and the numbers — let's talk New York Giants football. I'm giving the Giants a C+. They weren't close to the playoffs and the year felt inconsistent, but there were real flashes that should have fans optimistic. Offensively, they finished middle of the pack at 22.4 points per game (17th), but the run game was legitimately top tier — nearly 130 rushing yards per game (5th in the league) and top-five in EPA per rush. A huge reason? Jaxson Dart. The rookie put up 2,300 passing yards, 15 TDs to 5 INTs with a 91.7 rating despite missing time, and added 487 rushing yards with 9 rushing TDs — third among QBs behind Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. The mobility is electric, but he has to protect himself and grow more comfortable operating from the pocket if he's going to be the true franchise guy. Malik Nabers continues to look like a legit WR1 — glider, explosive, can win at every level — and Andrew Thomas anchored an O-line that quietly finished 4th in pass blocking efficiency per PFF. Defensively? That's where things fell apart. 25.8 points allowed per game (26th), dead last in EPA per rush allowed. The interior run defense was a nightmare — wide gaps, poor fits, linebackers overwhelmed — and despite the name power of Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter, they just didn't dominate like they should have. That's the offseason priority. With John Harbaugh now in the building, this feels like a reset with direction. Fix the interior, add another weapon, help Dart develop — and this C+ could jump to a B or better next season. Optimistic, but work to do.

GRADING THE BUFFALO BILLS 2025 SEASON I'm grading every NFL team based on the film and the numbers — let's talk Buffalo. I'm giving the Bills a B. And yeah, that might even feel generous considering the expectations. This was Super Bowl or bust territory. The AFC felt wide open, and once again, a great statistical season ends with no Lombardi to show for it. That's the frustrating part. There were concerning losses throughout the year and when it mattered most, we didn't capitalize. Offensively? Joe Brady absolutely earned that promotion. 28.3 points per game — 4th in the league. That's three straight top-six finishes in scoring under him. Josh Allen put together another strong season: 69% completion, nearly 3,700 yards, 25 TDs, 10 picks, 102 rating. The passing game was efficient despite lacking a true alpha WR1 — Khalil Shakir led the team again under 1,000 yards, Dalton Kincaid was productive in 12 games, and the tight end usage remained heavy. But the identity of this team was the run game. Number one in rushing yards per game (156), number one in rushing attempts, number one in rushing touchdowns. James Cook was a monster — 1,600 yards and 12 scores — and the rotation with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson gave this offense balance. The offensive line deserves real credit, though losing Connor McGovern and David Edwards in free agency could shake that foundation. Now here's the issue: turnovers. 25 offensive turnovers on the year — 17 of them came in the six losses. Including five in the playoff loss. That's the difference. Josh's decision-making slipped at times, especially late, and it cost them. Defensively, it was a tale of two units. The secondary? Elite — 165.9 passing yards allowed per game, 2nd best in the league. But against the run? 133.6 per game allowed — 28th. EPA per rush allowed ranked near the bottom. No consistent pass rush (1.9 sacks per game, 26th). And here's the reality: you don't win in January if you can't pressure the QB or stop the run. That's what showed up. So heading into next year? Add a true WR1. Reinforce the interior defensive front. Hope Jim Leonhard can elevate that scheme. The offense is championship caliber. The defense needs to match it. That's why it's a B — productive, competitive, but not complete. The window is still open. Now it's about finishing.

In this Drive Pink Preview, Scotty and Saur preview the Inter Miami midfield and defense for the 2026 season, will they be better at preventing goals, where the back ups may get their opportunities, and what to look forward to.

The Nixon-Smiley Mustangs delivered a strong all-around performance Feb. 6, defeating the Luling Eagles 65–31 at home. Nixon-Smiley controlled the game from start to finish, using defensive pressure and unselfish play to build a comfortable lead and extend it throughout the night. Joe White led the Mustangs with 17 points, 6 assists, and 7 steals, setting the tone on both ends of the floor. Freshman Jedidiah Alvarez contributed 13 points, while Hugo Wibbelink posted a strong inside performance with 12 points and a team-high 15 rebounds.

Episode 162 — Advantage Arsenal: Narrow First Leg Win After a Dominant Performance at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup Semi-FinalThe boys are back as Gav, Ells and special guest JJ react to Arsenal's first-leg victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup semi-final — a night that delivered control, chances, and a narrow advantage that perhaps didn't reflect the balance of play.The discussion begins with Arsenal's approach to the tie, including selection choices, goalkeeper debate, and how the team set the tone early. With Arsenal dominating large stretches of the first half, the panel explore why a strong performance failed to translate into a more commanding scoreline, touching on chance creation, shot selection, and decision-making in key moments.There's detailed analysis of Arsenal's midfield structure and evolving roles, including how balance, chemistry, and positioning continue to develop as personnel return from injury. The conversation also examines set-piece execution, attacking movement, and what different striker profiles bring to Arsenal's play — particularly in moments where control needs to become separation.Defensively, the episode breaks down the goals conceded, game management in knockout football, and how small errors can shift momentum even during dominant spells. Goalkeeper involvement, box control, and recovery actions are all discussed as Arsenal once again navigate fine margins in a semi-final setting.In the second half, focus turns forward. The panel preview Arsenal's upcoming trip to Nottingham Forest, discussing defensive availability, workload management, and how Arsenal should approach a fixture shaped as much by desperation as quality. There's also discussion around key Premier League matches elsewhere, including the Manchester derby and Tottenham vs West Ham, and what those results could mean in the wider title picture.The episode closes with the Who Am I? game, featuring a former Arsenal forward whose career took him across Europe — and prompts a few nostalgic reflections along the way.A first-leg advantage secured, questions still to answer, and a season entering a defining stretch.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:50) - Chelsea Semi-Final Context & Selection Decisions(02:35) - Goalkeeper Debate: Structure, Crosses & Build-Up Play(04:20) - Fast Start & Early Pressure at Stamford Bridge(05:06) - 0-1 | Set-Piece Breakthrough and Corner Execution(07:12) - Missed Chances & Shot Selection Frustrations(11:41) - Midfield Balance, Roles & Chemistry Questions(16:49) - First-Half Control Without Separation(18:12) - 0-2 | Gyökeres Finish and Box Presence(21:11) - Attacking Relationships & Service to the Striker(23:15) - 1-2 | Momentum Shift & Defensive Breakdown(26:13) - Garnacho's Face / Most Disliked Players(27:40) - 1-3 | Zubimendi's Goal and Game Control(29:16) - Refereeing, Game Management & Discipline(31:04) - Missed Chances to Kill the Tie(31:44) - 2-3 | Late Goal Conceded & Narrow First-Leg Margin(33:55) - Full-Time Reflection, Stats & First-Leg Takeaways(37:22) - PT.2 Who Am I?

Tate is joined by Chad Broadrick, the newly appointed head football coach at Centennial High School. Broadrick, formerly the defensive coordinator at Pope John Paul II and a former head coach at East Robertson and White House Heritage, shares his excitement about joining the Centennial community. He highlights the "vertical alignment" and strong support system at the school, ranging from the administration to the quarterback club and parent base. Having already begun meeting the student-athletes, Broadrick notes the impressive, high-energy environment at Centennial, particularly praising the school's student section and atmosphere during recent basketball games against Franklin High. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Broadrick outlines a coaching philosophy centered on "connection" and "toughness." Offensively, he intends to maintain continuity by trusting returning staff to build upon last year's successful power-run and play-action schemes. Defensively, he plans to implement a versatile "build-a-bear" front that can shift between four-man and three-man looks to stop the run and attack pass protections. Broadrick is eager to lead the Cougars through a challenging schedule that includes rivals like Independence, Page, and Franklin, with the ultimate goal of establishing Centennial as a consistent state championship contender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's official — we're heading back to Chicago for the Wild Card Round, and this matchup is far more layered than it looks on the surface.Before diving into the Bears, we address the one mistake from Week 18: playing Javon Bullard in a game that didn't matter. Health was the priority, and we mostly executed that plan — except when it mattered most. Now we wait to see if that decision costs us on Saturday.From there, we break down why we're actually in a strong position entering this game:• We're healthier and fresher• We essentially had a bye while Chicago played for seeding• We've had nearly two full weeks to prepare for this exact matchupOn offense, the data is clear: early-down passing, play action, and short-yardage throws must define the game plan. We explain why throwing is far more efficient than running for this roster, how Christian Watson completely changes both the passing and rushing efficiency, and where Chicago's secondary is most vulnerable.Defensively, we dig into how to slow down Caleb Williams without blitzing, why zone coverage is the key, which coverages he struggles against most, and how disguising pressure while rushing three can neutralize his biggest strengths. We also examine the cornerback rotation, Trevon Diggs' potential role, and why this game should lean heavily into coverage — not aggression.This episode is about matchups, tendencies, and execution. No emotion. No narratives. Just the clearest path we have to winning at Soldier Field and advancing.

On the latest episode of Buck’s Beat, Georgia legend and national championship quarterback Buck Belue breaks down the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal matchup between the Georgia Bulldogs and Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff. Belue focuses on the key factors that could tilt the rematch in Georgia’s favor, starting with a potentially healthier Bulldogs offense. Georgia is expected to welcome back wide receiver Colbie Young and tight end Ethan Barbour from injury, additions that could significantly expand the Dawgs’ passing game and red-zone efficiency. Belue explains how their return gives Georgia more matchup flexibility and balance against an aggressive Ole Miss defense. Defensively, the spotlight centers on Georgia’s plan to contain Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who caused problems for the Bulldogs in the earlier meeting this season. Belue outlines the adjustments Georgia’s defense is expected to make, emphasizing improved discipline, pressure packages, and coverage integrity to limit Chambliss’ ability to extend plays and generate explosive offense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Deuce's Dynasty: Ranking College Football's Most Legendary Number 2sIn college football, a jersey number is more than just identification; it's a symbol. It can denote a position, a tradition, or, most often, a legacy. Few numbers boast the sheer star power and positional diversity of Number 2. From Heisman winners to defensive legends and unstoppable all-purpose weapons, this digit has been a magnet for generational talent.While names like Cam Newton and Charles Woodson instantly spring to mind, the conversation about the best to ever don the double-deuce must begin with the original electric weapon: David Palmer, aptly nicknamed “The Deuce.”The Explosive Catalyst: David Palmer, The DeuceBefore the era of positionless football became mainstream, there was David Palmer, the human highlight reel for the Alabama Crimson Tide in the early 1990s. Palmer wasn't just a wide receiver; he was an offensive coordinator's dream—a dangerous runner, a reliable pass-catcher, and even a wildcat quarterback before the term existed.Palmer's dominance was immediate and explosive. In only his fourth collegiate game against Vanderbilt, he racked up 212 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, marking his first punt return score of the season. Just two weeks later, against Tulane, he found the end zone three times, highlighted by a breathtaking 69-yard punt return. This sheer, unfiltered explosiveness earned him the moniker "The Deuce" and cemented his status as one of college football's most exciting players of that era. Palmer set an impossibly high standard for anyone wearing the number at Alabama, a tradition that current stars like Ryan Williams continue today.The Heisman Hierarchy and Generational TalentIf Palmer set the bar for versatility, the Heisman winners who followed wearing No. 2 made it untouchable.Charles Woodson (Michigan) remains one of the most unique and historically significant Heisman winners. In 1997, he became the only primarily defensive player to capture the trophy, leveraging his exceptional play as a cornerback, his impact as a wide receiver, and his dazzling skill as a punt returner to lead the Wolverines to a National Championship. Woodson truly defined the term "impact player."A decade later, Cam Newton arrived at Auburn for one of the most dominant single seasons in history (2010). After transferring, Newton became an unstoppable force, combining an elite passing arm with unbelievable power and speed in the running game. He won the Heisman, led the Tigers to an undefeated season, and captured the BCS National Championship, delivering a performance that redefined the dual-threat quarterback position.The third Heisman winner to wear No. 2, Derrick Henry (Alabama), demonstrated unparalleled dominance at running back in 2015. Henry captured the Heisman, Doak Walker, and Maxwell Awards after rushing for an SEC-record 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns, powering the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff National Championship.Versatility Beyond MeasureThe legacy of Number 2 is defined not just by Heisman winners but by elite performers across every position.Defensively, the number has been legendary. Deion Sanders (Florida State) remains arguably the most exciting college defensive back ever, capturing the 1988 Jim Thorpe Award. Mike Doss (Ohio State) stands as one of only eight Buckeyes to earn three-time All-American honors, serving as the defensive anchor for the 2002 National Championship team. More recently, Patrick Surtain (Alabama) secured unanimous All-American status and the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award before leading the Tide to a national title in 2021.Then there are the ultimate Swiss Army knives, like Adoree' Jackson (USC), who, like...

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-10) host the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) this Sunday, December 28, 2025, at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX. Both teams are eliminated from playoff contention in disappointing 2025 seasons, turning this late-season matchup into a battle for pride, momentum heading into the offseason, and potentially better draft positioning. The Bengals enter on a high note after exploding for 45 points in a dominant Week 16 win over the Miami Dolphins. Joe Burrow looked sharp in his return from injury, throwing for over 300 yards with multiple touchdowns, while Ja'Marr Chase and the offense clicked efficiently. Chase Brown added a strong rushing performance, and the unit showed flashes of the explosiveness that has defined Cincinnati in recent years. However, the defense remains a major concern, ranking near the bottom of the league in points allowed (30.5 per game) and struggling against the pass and tight ends. Arizona, meanwhile, is mired in a seven-game losing streak, most recently falling 26-19 to the Atlanta Falcons. With Kyler Murray sidelined for the season due to injury, Jacoby Brissett has been under center, leading an inconsistent offense that relies heavily on tight end Trey McBride (over 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns). The Cardinals' run game has been decimated by injuries to backs like James Conner and Trey Benson, leaving Michael Carter as the primary option. Defensively, Arizona has been porous, allowing 30+ points in several recent games, though they can keep things close against vulnerable units. Bengals are favored by about 7 points, with a high over/under around 53.5, reflecting expectations of a potential shootout given both teams' defensive woes and offensive talent. Burrow's presence gives Cincinnati a clear edge at quarterback, and home-field advantage in cold December weather could trouble the dome-accustomed Cardinals. Key storylines include Burrow continuing to build momentum post-injury, McBride's dominance against a Bengals defense weak vs. tight ends, and whether Arizona can snap their skid against a team with more natural talent. Experts largely side with Cincinnati, but the Cardinals' ability to move the ball through the air could keep it competitive. In a "meaningless" game for standings, look for fireworks and individual performances to shine. Bengals are poised to win, likely covering in a high-scoring affair.

DK Metcalf receives two-game suspension after fan interaction in Detroit. This latest issue is further proof that the Seahawks made the right choice trading him. Not to be ignored is the question of what the fan actually said. Video is on the fan's side, unless he said something when DK was up close, but again- DK should have never been over there. Can he get out of his own way eventually or will he continue to be a liability? :30- The Mariners signed Rob Refsnyder to a year-long deal, so we get the info from Bucky on what kind of player the M's added. Defensively, we aren't getting much, but offensively, he rakes against lefties. If we put him in as a DH against lefties, who do we use against righties? Bucky has an idea! :45- Old Man Rivers and the Colts took on the San Francisco 49ers last night and left a lot of Seahawks fans feeling better about our team's struggles against the Colts two weeks ago.

Playoff hopes dim after chaotic ending The Detroit Lions saw their playoff hopes fade in a 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The finish twisted the knife. Detroit appeared to score on the final snap. The celebration died when offensive pass interference wiped it away. The call, tied to Amon-Ra St. Brown, turned a stunning comeback into an empty box score. The moment fit the day. Frustration. Confusion. Missed chances. This loss stings because it was there to take. The Steelers were banged up. The Lions did not capitalize. Detroit's offense sputtered on the ground. The defense broke late. In the NFL, that combination loses you games in December. Officiating confusion and accountability The officiating crew, led by Carl Cheffers, lost the plot in the final sequence. Communication failed on the field. Players and coaches were left guessing. Letter of the law, the offensive pass interference on St. Brown can be called. Process matters too. It did not look like the crew controlled the situation or explained it. That erodes trust. Earlier, an offensive pass interference flag on Isaac TeSlaa compounded the angst. TeSlaa was pushed by a defensive back into another defender, which triggered the foul. That nuance mattered. Detroit paid for the savvy by Pittsburgh. Calls like these underscore a bigger NFL problem. Transparency is lagging. The league needs an eye-in-the-sky voice. It needs clear, real-time explanations. With gambling tied into every broadcast, the room for opaque officiating is gone. Run game stalls, defense cracks late The Detroit Lions run game vanished. David Montgomery had four carries for 14 yards. His longest went for 17, which means the rest lost three yards. Jameer Gibbs had seven carries for two yards. His longest was six. The other six lost four yards. Jared Goff lost a yard on a designed run. That is a non-starter for a Detroit offense built on balance. It is more galling given Pittsburgh's injuries. No T.J. Watt. No Nick Herbig. Cornerbacks rotating. The Lions offensive line was makeshift, but the execution fell short. Detroit could not move bodies or sustain tracks. The Steelers defensive front won too many snaps on first down. The sticks flipped, and the playbook shrank. Defensively, Detroit blinked in the biggest moments. Two long Jaylen Warren runs in the fourth quarter tilted the field and the clock. Those gap fits must be airtight. They were not. The Lions did not play well enough to overcome that, even without the officiating swirl. Short week to Christmas kickoff An abbreviated week now looms. The Detroit Lions play again on Christmas. The locker room has to flush this and find urgency. The margin is gone. The path is narrow. What remains is pride, correction, and sharper detail. The Detroit Lions Podcast daily notes it plainly. Detroit must own the self-inflicted wounds, demand clarity from the league, and run the ball when it matters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04GqVJ-4R4s #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #amon-rast.brown #offensivepassinterference #carlcheffers #isaacteslaa #davidmontgomery #jameergibbs #jaredgoff #jaylenwarren #t.j.watt #nickherbig Learn more about your ad choices.

First, Dan dives into the film room to review the offensive line and breaks down whether there was real improvement against the Kansas City Chiefs.The focus this week is the run game, as the key to victory on offense will be the one-two punch of Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. The Cowboys' defense has struggled against the run, and that plays right into the bread and butter of Jim Harbaugh's squad, so expect the Chargers to lean heavily on the ground attack.Of course, Justin Herbert will still create opportunities with both his arm and legs, making this a prime matchup to get Keenan Allen, Ladd McConkey, and Quentin Johnston jump-started again in the passing game.Defensively, the Chargers have been playing strong football since the bye week, but this presents another major test. Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens can put up points quickly, which means the Bolts' pass rush must get after Dak early and often. If Lamb and Pickens are frustrated, the defense puts itself in a great position to control the game.An intriguing matchup with big implications — and if the Chargers pull off the win, it cashes Dan's bet of 11 wins in back-to-back seasons under Jim Harbaugh.

Detroit Lions Have No Room For Error The Detroit Lions arrive at this point of the season with zero margin left. Sunday's match-up at Ford Field against the Pittsburgh Steelers is not just another game on the NFL calendar. It is a referendum on where this team is headed and whether the lessons of the last two months have actually been absorbed. In the latest episode titled Detroit Lions Have No Room For Error, the conversation is honest, uneasy, and rooted in the reality that Detroit must start stacking convincing wins immediately or watch the playoff door close. Officiating Noise, Rams Fallout, and a Team Searching for Its Edge The episode opens by revisiting the Rams loss, not to re-litigate the result, but to confront the lingering frustration around officiating. The hosts make it clear this was not why Detroit lost, yet the blown calls and New York involvement remain impossible to ignore. Across the league, trust in the officiating process is eroding, and the Lions have found themselves on the wrong end of too many moments that change momentum if not outcomes. That frustration feeds into a larger issue. The Lions have not been the same team since early October. Injuries in the secondary, rotating offensive line combinations, and a defense that sometimes looks outmatched have stripped away the identity that fueled last season's run. Against the Rams, Detroit looked like the less talented roster for the first time in years. That realization hit hard. The episode frames it as a wake-up call, not just for players, but for the entire organization. Steelers Preview and the Playoff Math Nobody Wants The reality is brutal. Detroit needs wins now, not moral victories. The Pittsburgh Steelers come in fighting for their own playoff lives, and that matters. This is not a team Detroit can sleepwalk past. The Steelers offensive line is physical and stable, their tight ends stress the middle of the field, and they are comfortable turning games into grind-it-out affairs. That is exactly where Detroit has struggled when execution slips. Defensively, the Lions need pressure packages similar to what worked against Baltimore earlier in the season. The Steelers can be beaten if their quarterback cannot sit and survey. That means coordinated rush lanes, disguised looks, and better tackling in space than Detroit has shown recently. This is where pride has to take over. The playoff math is uncomfortable but unavoidable. Detroit can still get in, but it requires winning games like this one and doing it decisively. The episode emphasizes that belief inside the locker room matters as much as standings. This is a team that has to prove to itself it can dominate again, not just survive. Sunday is not about style points. It is about control. The Detroit Lions still have the talent to make noise in January, but only if they treat this Steelers game as the beginning of a three-week sprint where nothing is taken for granted. The room knows it. The fans feel it. There is no room for error now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bp19_fngA0 Get yourself a Classic Detroit t-shirt here!

Host John Lund recaps Louisville's 83-62 loss at No. 20 Tennessee on Tuesday night and reacts to what head coach Pat Kelsey had to say about it. Freshman star Mikel Brown Jr. was ruled out right before the game and was greatly missed by the Cardinals offense, which was held to a season low in points. Defensively in the first half, there was no answer for Tennessee in the paint, and it only got worse in the second half when the outside shots started to fall as well. The red flags from the Arkansas loss remained, and there's work to be done heading into ACC conference play for the 9-2 Cards. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We take a brief look back at the win over the Indianapolis Colts, and Jason Myers incredible performance with six field goals, before looking ahead with optimism at the Rams game on Thursday night. Concerns about offensive consistency continue, but if the offense can convert their scoring drives to touchdowns and continue to limit turnovers, Coach Macdonald has seemed to find a way to limit the Rams explosive offense. Defensively, Seattle should even be able to improve with Jarran Reed in the lineup after missing the first Rams game, Ernest Jones seemingly healthy in comparison and Julian Love back in the lineup. Missing Devonte Adams could be big, although he only had the one catch for a touchdown in the last match. The weather could prove to be a challenge for both teams, with rain in the forecast as well as gusting winds. In the second half of the show, we talk about how some Rams fans have their eye on Joe Burrow considering his recent comments. But could a team like the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles make more sense? Do Better call outs go to the Cleveland Brows for continuing their disfunction in odd ways and to the weather impacting the northwest. Better at Life honors go out to an Australian hero and to our head coach assuming he meets our high expectations on Thursday.

The Bills travel to the AFC East-leading Patriots on Sunday. The team is getting healthier as the regular season winds down. This will be the second meeting of the season, with the Patriots winning 23-20 in Buffalo. Avoiding turnovers will be key, along with a solid ground game on offense. Defensively, they will have to deal with Drake Maye and his ability to go deep. And it's another meeting with former Bill Stefon Diggs. Kevin Carroll and Andy Young with all that and more on the latest Buffalo End Zone podcast.

Mike and Abe get back into football talk as they share more thoughts on the Falcons loss and react to Raheem Morris on the team's decision to kick the late field goal when they were down 17 points. They also share thoughts on Georgia's win over Alabama in the SEC championship to which they agree Kirby Smart has the defensive players dialed in and they are a much improved unit from the start of the season.

FOOTBALL v OHIO STATE Offense had some neat ideas in the run game, not so much the passing game. Problem with not running read options all year is Bryce blew too many of them. Sherrone is a run guy, had some great run tweaks, but it ended up costing them in the passing game as Bryce was cold—gotta throw on early downs if you're going to be a successful passing team. Defensively it was worse when we looked. "Only 27 points" is because they only had nine possessions and one of the killed the game in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Wink: Not great. Felt mailed in, no interesting ideas, and the ideas he did have were bad ones, like delayed blitzes that won't get to Sayin until it's too late, or showing his hand. Sayin was never confused: he read out what he planned to. Sam not a fan of spot-dropping. That was most of the defense this game; in the past Michigan's used a lot more switch and poach coverages. Wink is too easy to see coming, and that's not going to change. We're ready to move on, hope he is as well. Differences aren't all on Wink: Ernest Hausmann was a big loss, and a big difference last year. Josiah Stewart was and The Gifts were a big deal last year. Getting off the field on 3rd & 3 is when those playmakers have to do something, and Michigan didn't have those guys. SIGNING DAY Got interesting yesterday. Big money plays at Zion Robinson, Travis Johnson and (from UNC) Julian Walker. Michigan is either getting Zion Robinson (who got a big offer from Syracuse) or Georgia commit Brady Marchese—if Calvin Russell is serious then they'll work that out separately. Julian Walker is deciding today; his connection to Michigan in the first place was his dad, isn't sure he wants to leave home, which is understandable. If he goes to UNC it's just money. Hiter was just a misunderstanding when his contract came and they got it cleared up eventually. Underrated guys in the class: Alister Vallejo (we love), McHale Blade (fell too far after his injury) and Tommy Carr (we think he's better than Brady Smigiel, not better than Bourque).

For the second year in a row, the Texas Longhorns came out of the Black Friday matchup with a convincing win over their rival, the Texas A&M Aggies. Texas dominated the second half, taking advantage of the Aggies' aggression on defense and turning it into their best running performance of the year. Defensively, Texas managed to bottle up one of the most explosive offenses in the country and turned over quarterback Marcel Reed on consecutive plays to seal the game.

After a narrow loss to the Rams, a mental shift needed to focus on the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. Considering the way the season is going for the Titans, the expectation is that we'll have a prime opportunity to see Seattle bounce back. Should Seattle focus on the running game or open up the passing attack this week? Defensively, we get into the reasons why our edge rushers and linebackers can dominate versus the Titans offense. We also discuss how expectations to win against a struggling team will cast a shadow on this matchup. Can they get back to playing at that high level prior to facing their division rival.

Featured Musician: Terry Klein THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- Not necessarily in this order. 1. Northwestern Preview starts at the top They're fine. Their offense plods but for one good receiver or when their QB throws an INT, which he's got accuracy problems that were visible when he was a Rhett Ashlee QB at SMU. Their defense is decent, rotates, plays sound football of a Lloyd variety. Alex likes edge Aidan Hubbard more than Michael Kilbane (whom PFF prefers). Their DTs are a little undersized so they jump behind the line of scrimmage, which Nebraska was able to exploit down the stretch. 2. Northwestern Preview cont. wsg Rodger Sherman starts at 13:56 What's it like being a Northwestern fan these days? It's spending $800 million on an unnecessary stadium instead of players, because you can't put your name on players. 3. Wake Forest After-Action Report, and a short TCU Preview starts at 27:45 How many ways can we say Mara is a star? Defensive ceiling is ridiculous. Three-big lineup needs a name. We also talk about Matt D's findings regarding the defensive play of Michigan's guards, which was not at all what we expected. 4. Purdue Upon Further Review starts at 44:58 Young offensive line plus Zack Marshall and Jalen Hoffman continue to be good blockers—might meet their match vs Ohio State. Jordan Marshall is a beast. Bryce's second half wasn't great either—he was not feeling comfortable in the pocket, missed some RPO reads he made earlier. Need a bye to get right. Defensively, I wasn't mad about Wink. Don't say on the internet that I was mad. Defensively the kids were not alright and the defensive rotations were still weird, but more explainable given the injury circumstances. Long drives were explainable until Purdue figured out they were just running nail (where you insert a blitzing LB as a 5th lineman and play 5-1). Interested in Lugard Edokpayi.

Detroit Lions vs Washington Commanders Post Game Show: Game 10 Breakdown Lions Look to Clean Up and Build Momentum As the regular season moves into its second half, the Detroit Lions face the Washington Commanders in Week 10 of the NFL season, and our post game show will dig into how Detroit responded during this pivotal match-up. The Lions entered this contest with momentum on the line and a clear opportunity to assert their status in the conference. Meanwhile, Washington has been hit hard by injuries and inconsistency, creating a backdrop of urgency for both teams.On the show we'll evaluate how Detroit handled the trenches, how well the offense executed under pressure, and whether the defense rose to the occasion. With head coach Dan Campbell reportedly calling some offensive plays in place of coordinator John Morton, we'll also explore what that signals about Detroit's identity and whether that shift made a difference on the field.How did Detroit's running game perform? Were the receivers effective against a Washington secondary missing key players? Did the offensive line protect Jared Goff and open lanes for Jahmyr Gibbs, or did protection issues resurface? Defensively, we'll examine whether the Lions created enough disruption and whether the pass rush and coverage were sharp enough to contain Washington's offense. What We'll Cover on the Post Game Show Tonight's Detroit Lions post game show will feature breakdowns of key storylines from the Detroit Lions vs Washington Commanders match-up: Offensive structure and Campbell's involvement: With Dan Campbell stepping in to call plays, how did that affect tempo, play-selection, and execution? Did the Lions look more aggressive or did they rely on safe methods? Defensive performance and adjustments: The Commanders have been vulnerable in certain areas; did the Lions exploit those weaknesses? How well did Detroit adapt when Washington changed formations or tempo? Situational football: We'll analyze fourth-down decisions, red zone execution, penalties and turnovers—all moments that tend to decide tight NFL games. Fan interaction and Detroit Lions reaction: As always, we'll open the lines for live listener calls. We want to hear how you saw the game—were you thrilled with the performance or sensing warning signs? Was Campbell's play-calling bold or too cautious? Your voice completes the story. This match-up is more than just Game 10—it's part of the trajectory of Detroit's season. A strong showing could reaffirm their contender status; a shaky performance raises questions heading into tougher upcoming opponents. On tonight's show we'll not only discuss what happened on the field but also what this means for the Lions moving forward.

The Purdue Boilermakers visit Michigan Stadium in search of their first Big Ten win of the season. In this episode of Behind Enemy Lines, you'll learn everything you need to know about the Boilermakers before Saturday night's game. Under new head coach Barry Odom, Purdue is 2-6 overall and 0-5 in the Big Ten. There's no go-go offense like Odom ran at UNLV, so what should the Wolverines expect from the two QBs (Ryan Browne and Malachi Singleton), and who are the other names to know? Defensively, the Boilermakers have allowed more plays of 40-plus yards than anyone else in the Big Ten, but their front creates enough havoc to be a good challenge for the Wolverines.
