On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Chicago Bears' shocking win over the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Not only did the game result crush a ton of Survivor Pools around the country, but it also sparked a quarterback controversy in New England. Mac Jones got pulled early in favor of Bailey Zappe, but it's like Zappe lit it up in the second half. Bill Belichick has a tough decision on his hands. Sticking in the AFC East, the New York Jets' playoff hopes took a massive blow when superstar running back Breece Hall and offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker were both ruled out for the season. The addition of James Robinson should help, but that won't be enough to keep the Jets in the playoff picture. One team that likely will not be in the AFC playoff mix is the Indianapolis Colts, who decided to bench Matt Ryan in favor of Sam Ehlinger as their starting quarterback. The University of Texas product is unproven but he should add an athletic spark to what has been a sluggish Colts offense. Finally, J-Mac closes the show by sharing his thoughts on a slew of NBA topics, including how the Los Angeles Lakers could benefit from a trio of franchises' looking to tank for Victor Wembanyama.
