49ers' Depth, Ricky Pearsall Injury

Former NFL scout John Middlekauff is reacting LIVE immediately following the Week 15 Sunday Night Football matchup between J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings vs. Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. John kicks off by reacting to J.J. McCarthy's big game in a win vs. the Cowboys on SNF. John explains why it is good for McCarthy to continue to play well so that he can develop his relationship with his head coach Kevin O'Connell and his star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. John then questions what is going wrong with the Cowboys and George Pickens as the reciever seems disinterested for the second time in two weeks.

John then reacts to the major NFL injuries sustained in Week 15, including ACL injuries to Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Green Bay Packers' Micah Parsons, hamstring injury to Los Angeles Rams' Devante Adams, and a PCL injury to San Francisco 49ers' Rickey Pearsall. John then admits he was wrong about the Chicago Bears and that they look like a team that could potentially capture the top seed in the NFC. Next, John reacts to Josh Allen's spectacular comeback vs. divisional rival Patriots led by Drake Maye.

John then reacts to Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix playing the game of his life vs. the Packers as well as Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bouncing back vs. Joe Burrow and the CIncinatti Bengals. John then talks about Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' struggles vs. the Bears and he can fend off the organization drafting another QB in the 1st round of the 2026 NFL Draft.John wraps up by debating if Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Caroll should've stayed retired and applauds Indiapolis Colts QB Phillip Rivers for coming out of retirement.

John closes out with his Hard Rock Bet Monday Night Football picks: Miami Dolphins (+3) at Pittsburgh Steelers De'Von Achane 2 TDs (+500)
