John is back, breaking down an action-packed NFL Sunday capped by Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders defeating rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football by a score of 30-24. First, Middlekauff breaks down why former LSU Quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels continues to prove he’s a special player on the heels of an impressive rookie campaign before diving into Michael Penix Jr. taking over for a struggling Kirk Cousins in Atlanta. Then, Middlekauff breaks down Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings surprising success this season after a crucial 27-25 victory over Joran Love and their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers. Next, Middlekauff unpacks the idea of tanking in the NFL and goes in on the hapless New York Giants as they win a game and accidentally played their way out of the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft. Finally, thoughts on Tom Brady as an announcer and why authenticity sells plus explaining the Caleb Williams discourse.
