3 and Out with John Middlekauff

John makes a bold prediction for the NFC East and thinks the Chargers have the talent to win the Super Bowl… but one thing is holding them back. John wonders if the Chiefs could miss the AFC Championship in a stacked conference, ponders whether Derek Carr and Jimmy G can resurrect their careers with new teams, and if the Geno comeback tour continues this season. In college football, John discusses which teams could back up the Brinks truck for Deion and whether Ryan Day's days are numbered in Columbus.
