92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by Reese’s Oreo® Cups!

We’ve got an amazing episode for you today recapping all the insanity that was week 1 in the NFL and we have an incredible conversation with Rob Riggle and Kevin Hart to preview next week’s Chiefs/Eagles game!

First, Travis recaps the Chiefs time down in Brazil. We get into what happened on the collision with Xavier Worthy, the fire drill field goal, and what the Chiefs are taking away from the loss to the Chargers.

Jason also gives us all the details on the Eagles game against the Cowboys. We get into how he feels about “spitgate,” AJ Brown not getting the ball, and how we can fix weather delays.

We also touch on everything from around the league including the absolute banger that was the Sunday Night Football game between the Ravens and Bills, why WR1s struggled out the gate, which veteran QB has found the best new home, and so much more!

Finally, Rob Riggle and Kevin Hart face off in our first ever fan off. They fight about who has the better home crowd, the special kind of mayhem that is a Philly game day, share some incredible heckling stories, reveal why Kevin is on the “threat list” at the Linc, and most importantly, make their case for who’s winning on Sunday.
