John Middlekauff returns after a loaded slate on this NFL Sunday to recap the Philadelphia Eagles, led by superstar running back Saquon Barkley, dominated Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 37-20 on Sunday Night Football. John tips his cap to the Eagles for being one of the most well-run organizations in the entire NFL, and explains why the NFC East’s best team are like a successful business in their “investment strategy” with veteran players like legitimate MVP candidate Saquon Barkley. Middlekauff proceeds to recap some of the action around the League, including yet another massive Detroit Lions team. John explains why the Lions, led by Dan Campbell, Jared Goff and a potent offense, are legitimate Super Bowl contenders sitting atop the NFC. Next, John goes off on why Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are almost underrated by football fans despite their Super Bowl-winning pedigree amidst a historic dynasty. Then, the reason why he’s riding with Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos after the AFC West squad has surprised some fans and critics under their rookie quarterback’s stellar play. John goes on to detail how both the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers, headed for the playoffs, “won” the Russell Wilson trade in the offseason. Next, John can’t help but marvel at the NFC North’s top teams in the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers. After, some thoughts around the NFL hitting on Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers struggling and the hapless New York Giants. Finally, some thoughts on college football’s biggest players including Deion Sanders and Colorado and the debate between SEC football fans and the Indiana Hoosiers football team. 4:40 - SNF - Eagles at Rams reaction 28:07 - Chiefs win a close one in Carolina 34:19 - Russell Wilson trade to Steelers was a win for both teams 39:13 - Evaluating the NFC North 36:50 - Washington Commanders overachieved to start the season 43:10 - Titans at Texans reaction 44:37 - 49ers brutal loss in Green Bay 50:09 - Are the Giants becoming the Jets? 58:20 - College Football thoughts Follow John on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for the latest.

Colin Cowherd Podcast - Saquon For MVP? 49ers Need A Reboot, Lions Offense Is Dominant, Bo Nix Surpasses Jayden Daniels, Vikings QB Controversy?

  Colin Cowherd Podcast - Saquon For MVP? 49ers Need A Reboot, Lions Offense Is Dominant, Bo Nix Surpasses Jayden Daniels, Vikings QB Controversy? Colin reacts to Sunday Night Football and Saquon Barkley scorching the Rams for 302 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns! He explains why Barkley should be front-runner for league MVP, how he has completely transformed the Eagles, and why he has separated from the rest of the running backs in the league (3:00).  Then he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the full slate of NFL games. They start with a sinking 49ers team, why it needs a rebuild (18:00) and debate how they should handle a potential contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy (21:15). They pivot to the Vikings and discuss whether Minnesota should risk moving on from Sam Darnold, or keep him and trade rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (25:15). Despite losing in overtime, Colin sees reasons for optimism for Bears fans (30:45) They break down a crazy ending to Commanders/Cowboys (44:15), why Jayden Daniels has been surpassed by Bo Nix for Offensive Rookie of the Year (46:15) and why Sean Payton deserves a mountain of credit for building the Broncos into a really good football team (48:45). They weigh in on the Chiefs “experimenting” to try and find what works while still managing to win close games (01:01:00), and whether the Panthers will give Bryce Young another year under center (01:05:30). They also explain why the Titans can feel comfortable running it back at quarterback with Will Levis next season (01:07:15). They react to a lifeless performance from the Giants against the Bucs, declare the Giants and Jets the two most dysfunctional teams in the league (01:14:45), and debate whether Brian Daboll will lose his job. Colin calls the Detroit Lions offense the most dominant he’s seen in years and they explain why the Lions would WANT to face the Chiefs in the Super Bowl (01:22:15). They pivot to college football and recap Ohio State’s dominant win over Indiana (01:30:00) and Oklahoma shutting down Alabama (01:35:00), and debate who’s in and who’s out after some big upsets on Saturday (01:40:00). Colin preaches patience for USC and why with some smart allocation of NIL money the Trojans could be competitive next year (01:41:00). Finally, they examine the weak incoming crop of college quarterbacks and wonder whether the Jets will be looking to draft a quarterback and move on from a “poorly” aged Aaron Rodgers (01:48:00).
