Aaron Rodgers, Steelers ROUTED by Justin Herbert, Chargers on SNF + NFL Week 10

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the Sunday NFL slate.
 
They begin the Rams throttling the 49ers, and argue that Matt Stafford is playing some of the best football of his career, and that the 49ers would be smart to hang onto Mac Jones who has proved his worth (3:15). 
 
They move to the Bears win over the Giants where the arm talent of Caleb Williams was on full display and Colin argues the best descriptor for Caleb is horsepower (10:00). They agree that Vikings quarterback J.J. looks like he’s in over his head after an awful showing in their loss to the Ravens (25:00)
 
Colin argues that the Patriots clearly looked like the better team in their win over the Bucs and have a serious debate about whether the Pats are the best team in the AFC in Mike Vrabel’s first year (36:30).
 
Colin highlights Josh Allen having tons of time to throw, but his receivers couldn’t get open in the Bills ugly loss to the Dolphins and that the Bills could be in trouble in the AFC East with the Patriots ascending (49:30)
 
They point to the Seahawks incredible drafting in recent years leading to a dominating, talented roster and argue there isn’t a weakness on the team. They look ahead to their upcoming game against the Rams and pick the Seahawks (55:00).
 
They move the Colts overtime win over the Falcons in Berlin and argue the Colts won despite Daniel Jones and they won by playing throwback, old-school football (1:05:15).
 
Finally, they pivot to college football to talk about the incredible job Kalen DeBoer has done as head coach at Alabama in returning the Tide to their usual status as a powerhouse program (1:16:45). They also give kudos to Indiana and Oregon for their big wins (1:21:00).
