Former NFL scout John Middlekauff reacts LIVE following the Week 16 Monday Night Football matchup between Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers vs. Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. The 49ers dominate 48–27 on the road, improving to 11–4 and keeping their NFC No. 1 seed hopes alive. John opens by reacting to Brock Purdy’s career night, as he throws a career-high five touchdown passes and leads San Francisco to its fifth straight win. John discusses Kyle Shanahan’s offensive approach, Brock Purdy’s ability to make plays on the move, the impact of George Kittle, and why winning out for the NFC’s top seed would be “the craziest football thing in my life,” with a massive Week 17 home matchup vs. the Chicago Bears looming.
John then breaks down Philip Rivers’ “exceptional and brilliant” performance in his second start since returning to the NFL, before examining the Colts’ late-season collapse and roster decisions. John also reacts to the NFL suspending Steelers WR DK Metcalf for two games without pay, the financial implications of the decision, and questions his future in Pittsburgh.
John wraps up with his thoughts on Bill Belichick hiring Bobby Petrino as his offensive coordinator at North Carolina.
