Another national TV game, another insane comeback, another head-scratcher of a fantasy football result. We'll dig into the Monday night game, where the Vikings somehow overcame *all that* to win, and Caleb Williams didn't look particularly fixed. In addition, we'll review all the rest of the Week 1 game film that we didn't get to on Monday's show, plus we'll spin it forward and start thinking about Week 2 with a very important waiver wire! Guest: Jake Ciely of The Athletic.
