Cowboys offense needs help, QB Room Week 3 & stock up on Jayden Daniels | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab somewhat begrudgingly look back on an ugly Thursday Night Football win for the Dallas Cowboys against the New York Giants. Just a year ago the Cowboys had a lethal offense, so why did they struggle so much for this win? The trio also looks back at the Las Vegas Raiders' loss to the Carolina Panthers and Antonio Pierce’s postgame comments about “business decisions” that were made in the loss. Then it’s back into C Rob’s QB Room for Week 3. The Steelers haven’t officially named Justin Fields their starter, but after going 3-0, should they? And is Sam Darnold good enough to stir up QB controversy for the Minnesota Vikings when J.J. McCarthy is back healthy again? The three have Jayden Daniels’ stock rising, but does Tom Brady think he’s the real deal? We ask him!Subscribe to Inside Coverage on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3AbfhJc🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ymFp3f📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT❤️ Inside Coverage would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

The duo start with in-depth previews of the three premiere matchups as they attempt to determine if Geno Smith can keep his hot streak alive against a dangerous Detroit Lions defense, if the Green Bay Packers defense can start catching some of Sam Darnold's inaccurate throws and whether or not the Baltimore Ravens D can stop a humming Buffalo team that hasn't been slowed down yet this season.Next, Nate and Charles enter Four-Minute Offense to analyze a couple key matchups to keep an eye on, including a hoss fight in Indianapolis and Jalen Hurts against a Tampa Bay defense that's given him fits in the past.The hosts wrap up with "Slop Watch," where they give you a reason to watch a game you might otherwise turn off, including a chess match in Chicago, the Arizona Cardinals trying to stop Jayden Daniels and a New England Patriots team that just might have the juice to keep it close against the San Francisco 49ers.(2:40) Seattle Seahawks @ Detroit Lions(11:45) Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers(21:40) Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens(33:30) Pittsburgh Steelers @ Indianapolis Colts(40:20) Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers(46:15) Los Angeles Rams @ Chicago Bears(50:55) Washington Commanders @ Arizona Cardinals(54:05) New England Patriots @ San Francisco 49ersSubscribe to Football 301 on your favorite podcast app:🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/46gILkF🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4mYAD📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT
