NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones. And Drew Franklin is a production of the NFL and iHeart Podcast. Welcome. It is week two of NFL Cover Zero. I'm Matt Jones, Drew Franklin, Billy R Sports here. We are doing this on a Monday for scheduling reasons. So we missed the late night window last night, but that means we've had time to fully. Digest all the games. Drew, as exciting and score-filled as week one was, week two was kind of characterized with a lot of really boring starts to games. Now, there were some really good finishes, but there was a period during the one o'clock window where like every game was six to three or seven to zero. The defense has kind of won in week two. Yeah, it was unusually chaotic. We didn't get the exciting start in the beginning like we did a week ago. But then when you look at the scoreboard at the end of the day, Sunday seemed kind of drunk with some heavy favorites going down and some teams we didn't expect to be undefeated, undefeated through two weeks. Well, OK, just to make that point. I mean, after the first week, you would have probably said that the worst teams were the Browns, you know, the Jets, you know, the Dolphins, et cetera. And some of them put up huge fights. And one of them even won. Vikings are 2-0 in first place in the division. This has been a weird Chargers are 0-2 and like almost seem like a lot to not make the playoffs. We have to remember, I think we forget this every year. The NFL is ridiculous. And unless you have one of the three best quarterbacks and they're healthy, you could make an argument that you never really know how these teams are going to do. Yeah, we think of teams that stink and there are teams that stink. I'm a fan of one of them. But for the most part, not to be cliche, any given Sunday, a team can show up and win in the NFL. It's not college where the disparity is so big. These are pros. It still has been quite surprising, though, even knowing that like the Chargers Raiders game yesterday. Sure, I would expect one of those teams to be 0-2 and the other 2-0 after that game, but I wouldn't have the Raiders as the undefeated team and the Chargers is winless. So it's been a little more upside down than I thought it would have even been being the NFL at this stage. I think that's right. Did you sit and watch all the games yesterday or were you like me and celebrated so much watching the Kentucky game that I maybe took a good nap from the second quarter through halftime of the first set of games? I'm glad you confessed first. I told Billy before we started this, I rarely miss a minute of NFL football and I was on my couch the entire time, but there was a moment where I woke up and there was five minutes left in the fourth quarter. I probably was out for about a minute. I was like, I'm going to go to bed. I'm going to go to bed. I was out for about 30 minutes, but it was, it was a very action-packed 30 minutes on red zone when I was out. I give, I give them credit though. Like I, it was a good nap day. You don't get a lot of those in the NFL and a good nap day is, is not bad. So let's get started. Um, let's start. I'll lead off on the first one. The, the, the chiefs last night win in overtime against the Colts 33, 30, you know, last year, the chiefs were what one in nine in one score games. Of course, two years in one seems like they can never hit a happy medium, but they, for a night get their old ways. Uh, Travis Kelsey hit the throwback machine and had over a hundred yards. He ties Gronk for the most times, any tight ends ever done this. I think the most important takeaway of this game, were you cool with Taylor Swift pointing to the ring after Kelsey scored the touchdown? Is that, is that good wifey behavior? Was she just saying, that's my, that's my husband or is she saying he's going to go get another one? Was that like a, let's get a Superbowl ring? I hadn't either. I wasn't sure with the interpretation. I loved it, whichever it is, but I wasn't sure if she was just saying, that's my man or like, we're good. And we're going and getting another one. That's an interesting point. I hadn't thought about if she was like, that's my husband or he's going to go get a ring. I'm going to say it was more. That's my husband. What's that? Tik TOK trend. Yeah. That's mine. You know, where it's just saying like, Oh no, that's what I'm doing. I'm doing the Tik TOK trend. Yeah. That's my husband. Um, why are you laughing? That's all I know. That's mine. And it just shows the husband. I get it. Uh, yeah. And then, and then she said, why, why? Um, isn't that the other one? I think so. See, we're young on this show. People try to say we're old, don't know stuff. I can get a white wine. Um, but, uh, Kelsey, I thought my homes look, I mean, he played well last week, but I like yesterday, you know, they started the season at home, both games, they get two wins. I mean, I'm not ready to put them in the super bowl yet, but I think you, you, it's looking like last year, assuming my home stays healthy, more of a blip on the radar, uh, than the way they're then headed for a downhill stretch. Yeah. Assuming they're healthy. They have two things that have gone, gone for him so far. Kelsey looks like he's had a little bit of the founder youth looking, looking young again, the last two games. And Kenneth Walker didn't find the end zone last night, but had almost 200 yards. He's just going to be an absolute weapon for them. Um, I've, I remember how many passes he caught. I know of at least one, he had close to 60 yards receiving. So the way he can do it as a dual threat, just getting on a good team, the, the six win team of a year ago, long gone in the rear view mirror. And they're going to be there in the conversation at the end of the season. You got to make sure you don't overwork him. I think if you're the chiefs, cause that there is a little bit of a, worry, they might do that considering, uh, how much they're, they're using him. But with that said, uh, I'm not sure you could have much better of a performance and, you know, you can't help, but be, if you're a chiefs fan, very excited about that offense. And then on the cold side, they had life, right? I mean, would you have gone for it on the fourth and eight in regulation? Yeah. Just cause you're playing at Kansas city. I'm more of a gambler in situations like that. As good as the chiefs looked in getting the win, my big takeaway of the night is how the Colts still managed 30 points in that game. I did not think that year two of the Daniel Jones experience there coming off an injury, that offense would look great, even though they do have Jonathan Taylor and for them to take it to overtime, had the lead at halftime as play as well. They did in the loss. I thought that said a lot. I know they don't want moral victories, but for me, I think the Colts are a lot better than I had given them credit for. Well, he looked a lot more mobile than he did in week one. In week one, it kind of looked like he was, you know, post Achilles injury, just not going to be the same guy this year. And he looked closer to that this week. I still don't really think they're relevant long-term, but I think you got to go for it there. I mean, the moment they kicked that field goal, like I could have written the script for the rest of the game. You know, the question was just, you know, because one thing moms like never fails in that situation ever, like they, like he, he never fails in that situation. So I thought the, either the Colts will get first ball, kick a field goal, then my homes will score a touchdown. Or we would get what we, what we got, which is, you know, them not scoring. And then the chiefs so i uh i would have gone for it you got a better chance of making the eight yards there i think than than beating them a home steam at home in overtime so i that was a mistake but i think most coaches probably kick it because they're uh scaredy cats all right uh billy you're gonna lead us through the games here what's uh what's your first well daniel jones now one in 16 in prime time does that matter at all to you yes but it's also in part it's in part because the colts don't like that's when they play the good teams like i mean when they're playing the titans the game's not in prime time so i would use it more as he's one in 16 against the best teams in the league and a lot of that he's a giant playing eagles cowboys a lot of games like that punching up in that division before he got to indy that's a really good point yeah there's a lot of those there's a lot of those games that were uh current all right what's up all right we'll start with your team at the bears lose a rain-soaked nine to three ball game against the colts the minnesota vikings it's the seventh straight win at soldier field for the vikings and now carson wentz who's at the helm but we all saw the injury to caleb williams we got some news this morning that it looks like caleb has avoided any major injury to his hamstring ben johnson says he expects caleb williams to be week to week with his hamstring injury yeah so i don't really take anything at all from the game because of the weather and the bears deandre swift fumbles at the one you know caleb gets hurt like the bears should have won that game maybe that'll end up costing him we'll see the bigger story is caleb's injury or so when he when i saw in real time i was like he's out for the year and i thought how terrible they their season's gone now it looks like it's basically just a slight pull of the hamstring and people are saying he can play in week three so people are making fun of him drew yeah so i'm not you know i'm i'm not objective i like caleb you know sometimes you sometimes you hurt you sometimes you get a boo and it hurts and in the moment it hurts so like do you think people should be making fun of it there's a lot of it i am not participating in it however i am someone like everyone else watching in real time thought there goes the bear season he's gonna be out a long time my first thought was the madden curse strikes again and then you know to wake up this morning and see that it was a fingernail i'll admit that i'm not participating but i have read a lot of the making fun of it and i'm not participating in it and i'm not participating in it and i'm not participating in of him online and i it's i won't say it's justified but it didn't the paul pierce comparisons of the wheelchair and some of the memes that are popping up i get it i get it it's not fair okay i stubbed my toe uh last week and it hurt and i was on the floor and i was screaming and i thought my toe was broken and i nearly called the ambulance you know sometimes you get hurt in life and it may not linger but you know people people might have a heart attack during the day and they're not drew and it really hurts in the moment and then like they get to go home the night like two days later didn't mean they didn't have a heart attack you know what i mean so like this just because he ended up not being hurt doesn't mean he wasn't in a lot of pain in the moment i'm with you i think it's because it's a lot of the you know he did the thumbs up that you see going off the field and the guy's been seriously if you had a heart attack you might do a thumbs up i get it and you gotta defend your quarterback it just did it felt like look we may never see caleb williams again and then now he's back at practice it just and that's what we should be doing we should be celebrating that we should not be mocking a young man who by the miracles of modern science and by the fact that he is tough as nails and is willing to overcome injuries by sheer will we should not make fun of him for the fact that that you know we should be praising medical science we shouldn't be mocking him for pain talk now i know some doctors have come out and said this is like the lightest injury you could do to a hamstring i don't know no no no no but i'm gonna i'm right rfk i don't believe that don't give me alternative i'm with you i'm i'm raising the question for those doctors what if it only turned out that way because caleb was built to withstand that injury let's say it had been any of the other 31 starting quarterbacks maybe it's the worst injury they've ever seen thank you but because of his physical makeup and his toughness and just how strong he is i don't know what to as hamstrings are maybe that's why it became such a light injury a great point he's almost like a bionic man in some ways and in that respect he deserves the utmost praise and i think it's shameful people are making fun of him and i do not make fun of players ever and i don't i expect others to take the lead billy what's next a good game in the one o'clock window was the saints coming back to beat the ravens 24 to 17 baltimore led 17 to 9 in the third quarter with the ball but Tyler Shuck led the Saints back. They scored on a quarterback sneak with about two minutes left. The Ravens were without Zae Flowers, but on the other side, it was Chris Olave who had another great performance for New Orleans. Are the Saints for real? I don't know, but I wouldn't want to play them in the fourth quarter. I mean, they should just tell them there's only one quarter. It's two straight games where they've looked awesome. You got to give them credit. I mean, they're like the plucky team that doesn't have a ton of talent, and Shuck is like kind of the epitome of that. He's just sort of a dude running around and hoping stuff happens. Olave was great. My sleeper fantasy pick from the fantasy draft, Devon Vele, he's sitting on my bench, but he's starting to ask for reps here because I picked him, as you know, I said on this show, watch out for him. I mean, everybody was like, why? And I go, I don't really know him. It just feels like the right pick, and now that's starting to come to fruition. Yeah, the Saints aren't a 2-0 team, my brain I'm thinking of them as one because the way they played at Detroit down to the wire and lose that one week one and then go to Baltimore and win, I'm starting to think maybe they are for real, and that was just a little bit of a luck in week one playing Detroit so close. And on the Baltimore end, you got rid of a good coach because he'd have a few games like this and couldn't take advantage of a healthy Lamar. I mean, this is the same problem they had. Lamar is healthy. They went up on the Saints and still end up losing this game. This is what the Ravens were trying to avoid doing. The reason they haven't gotten over the hump and won a Super Bowl yet is little things like this, and here they are two weeks into the new coach and they're losing the game they shouldn't have when they had a lead at home. Yeah, this is, I don't know what, this is a little bit of a concerning loss to me for the Ravens. I mean, look, you're home. That's the big thing, you're home. But they do this, like they've done this last couple years. They lose an early game at home, and then you go back and you look and you go, well, how did that happen? But this is one, like you said, 17-3 with the ball. You have got to, you know, you've got to finish that. And so I think it's very, very disappointing. But I will say, I am impressed by the fact that the Saints were able to come back. And I kind of like the Saints. You know what I mean? I don't know about you, but I'm kind of, I think I'm kind of a fan. I mean, Tyler Shuck might be good. I don't think he had a turnover in this game. I mean, he didn't go up and completely light them up, but it was at Baltimore and a team that was supposed to have reloaded its defense. This offseason. So for the way he started year two, going on the road to two places known for having pretty good, tough teams. I'm very impressed with how he's playing as a sophomore. I am too. I think you got to give him a lot of credit. And giving me the Saints is my like secondary fun to watch. You never know what's going to happen to you.

The other overtime game this week was the Packers at the Jets with Green Bay coming back to win 20-17 in overtime. Green Bay snaps a six-game losing streak dating back to last year. They were down 10 in the fourth quarter despite 14 penalties in the game. Jordan Love scores for two touchdowns and the Jets are no longer undefeated. They had a big putt return in this game that sort of made a difference. I was watching this game in New York and there were Jets fans everywhere and it was, you want to talk about a group of people that just have an absolute doom complex. I mean, the entire game, they were just like, when are we going to collapse? When are we going to collapse? Okay, now we have collapsed. It was like one of the sadder things that I have seen. I mean, the Jets could have been 2-0. The Packers worry me. Even their win in a little bit, I mean, there was never a moment in this game they were, were impressive, you know, down 17-7. But there was a big pass interference call, a big punt. And so they got a lot of breaks. I still wouldn't feel great if I was Green Bay. No, Green Bay kind of stole this one. The Jets outgained them, won the turnover margin. They did just about everything you're supposed to do to win a football game. And the Packers come in and steal it at the end. If the Packers hadn't have come back and gotten this win, I don't think it's crazy to be like the season might even be over for them. Like if you're Micah Parsons, trying to come back from injury and the Packers are 0-2 with losses to the Vikings and Jets, that's hard to come back from. So it's crazy it is to say a season-saving win. I think that kind of happened in week two against New York Jets of all teams, but almost that bad. I think it is season-saving. The Jets are better. That is a takeaway, even though they lost this game. They are competitive. You know, the weather was nasty. I think that was part of that. The weather played a role in a lot of these games. Um, and I, uh, but it was, it was a very, it was sloppy. And so I, again, it's kind of like with the Bears game when it's that sloppy and it's outside. I don't know how much you take away, but if you're sitting there, if you're the Packers, you should thank your lucky stars, as Lee Green would say, to be living here today. Uh, cause one in one stands for having a chance and they can't take that away. So good for, uh, good for Green Bay. Otherwise I think they would be in trouble. What's next? Well, speaking of sloppy, two bad offenses went at it in Foxborough as the new England Patriots beat the Steelers 20 to three. The Pat's defense forced Aaron Rodgers to have two fumbles and carried Drake May, who only had 208 yards and one interception. The Steelers have scored one touchdown in 25 possessions through two weeks. Aaron Rodgers, after the game said he needs to do a better job of letting his coaches know that they're calling the wrong place. I mean that what a perfect, again, such a perfect Aaron Rodgers comment, a 40, two year old man should not let his body get beat up like that. He needs to retire. Cause he looked, the Patriots abused that man all day. Yeah. And they were blitzing him. They were going right at him. Like he's 42 years old. It's now five straight games going back to last year. The Rodgers has not had more than one touchdown pass. You know, that's eating him up a little bit. And I'm glad that I'm not taking, wasn't taking crazy pills before the season because Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy were talking about their reunion and how excited they were. And I'm glad that Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy were talking about their reunion and how excited they were. And I thought, I didn't even think you all liked each other. And now I know, but in the preseason, it was all, we're getting back together, getting the band back together. Well, now we're seeing it's not going to work. And I didn't think it was ever going to work. And that's clear right now is they had three points this week after their defense had to do the scoring a week ago. You know, for people who like New York sports talk radio, it's like Mike and the mad dog. They have like a reunion every few years and they sit like a hundred yards away from each other. It's not fun. They're both. Angry. Like that's what this reunion is. I also will note though, if the Patriots still don't look good, even though they won this game, I, you know, you all made fun of me in the fantasy draft for picking two quarterbacks. Thank goodness, because Drake may set the bench for me today and brought Purdy at a huge game and allowed me to go to an O because Drake may, he's still kind of looking Drake. Nah, uh, even today, I know they scored 20 points, but he didn't. That offense still looks kind of shaky. Even, uh, even in a big win. Yeah. And yesterday he had, or yesterday, last year he had the highest QB rating and statistically he was great. People just questioned if that would sustain now. Sorry. You got four interceptions in two weeks, one touchdown. Uh, it's looking like getting an AJ Brown and trying to get up some pieces. Hasn't exactly been working just yet in new England. Yeah. Do you, uh, if you're DK Metcalf, do you wish you had stayed in Seattle? Yeah, probably. I mean, this hasn't worked. This has not worked. I mean, like if I was a wide receiver, I wouldn't go anywhere without first getting in writing who the quarterback is, you know, it wasn't all Rogers, but just look at what happened when Pickens got out of Pittsburgh. He was nothing with the Steelers and Dallas takes him and he's instantly twice as good. So part of it is just being there. I mean, like the guy on the Falcons, what is it? London Drake London, who, uh, is, I mean, by the way, Jack Strand play, for the record, I said before the year was over, we would see Jack Strand. It ended up being in week two. We saw Jack Strand. He did throw an interception in his first pass. So we're going to, we're not going to, it wasn't the star beginning I'd hoped for, but the quarterback situation, Aaron Rogers, I fear the Steelers. I just don't even know why you're playing. I don't know what the point is. He's not good. He's not the quarterback of the future. He second guesses. I mean, that quote of, I should have done a better job telling them they were running the wrong place. I don't know what is the most Aaron Rogers thing. It's like, I'm putting it on me, but I'm clearly making it about them. It's my fault for not telling them. Yeah. It's like saying about your wife. It's on me more to tell you how annoying you are. That's not a, that's not taking responsibility at all, but that's what Aaron Rogers does. What's next? Well, you mentioned Jack Strand. Let's bring them up. Now the Panthers pounced on the Falcons, beating them 34 to three, Bryce Young, 287 yards and three touchdowns and a good response from the Carolina defense who allowed 59 points in week one, only allow three, but Cooper rush three turnovers. They turned to undrafted rookie Jack Strand and threw a pick six on his first pass. Didn't watch one second of this game, except I got a news alert. Jack Strand is in the game. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, I did have a Google notification on Jack Strand because I wanted to be right about this. And I get this notification. Jack Strand's in the game. So I quickly turn it over. And the first thing I see is him throwing interception. And so I turned it back off. So I can't say a lot about this game, Drew, because I watched one play and it was the draft Jack Strand interception. Otherwise, all I see is that like, looks like Bryce Young is good, but beyond that, nothing. Yeah. Carolina's offense has looked good this year. Had another big game, uh, this week, but the story is just Atlanta. You have Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London. You have what you need, but your quarterback position is Cooper rush. Into Jack Strand. I don't know how that happens when it hadn't even been three years since you overpaid cousins, drafted Pennix and you go get Tua. And somehow none of those guys are playing for you. And Jack Strand is out there throwing the ball. Hey, first of all, Kyle Pitts only has two catches on the season. Like he, like he's not, he's been completely non-existent in his two coaching gigs. He has had the worst quarterback luck of anybody. I think I saw he's like coach five years. This is his fourth year as a coach. And he's had like 13 starting quarterbacks during that time. I mean, he, you can't, you cannot have worse quarterback luck than he's had. Well, a year ago, he's trying to decide between Dylan Gabriel or Shador Sanders behind Deshaun Watson. And now he's like, I have this thing called Jack Strand that I did not know existed four months ago. And I'm trying to give it to him from Cooper rush. Like what did I give up on? I'm not, but if you're like, how can I prove I can coach when these are the quarterbacks I'm working with? I need you to stop acting like Jack Strand. is not gonna work i we this is a jack strand podcast listen i'm pro jack strand i just have sympathy for stefanski he started on the bottom and one day he's gonna be there and you're gonna remember who told i granted the first time i brought him up on this podcast i didn't get either of his names correctly i think i called him jake bland well he's kind of bland where did he come from it's a school with like hyphens in it when your school has hyphens in it it's not big came from the school of hard knocks okay and he's then he's here and uh he lost 34 to 3 to carolina who's next he played for the minnesota state moorhead dragons wasn't that the show from coach wasn't that the team bowser coached that's where your boy myron went to school yeah yeah that's right maybe he's this year's davis mills for us jack strand we'll follow i like his neck what's he doing is davis mills still in houston i think so yeah i think he's still the backup it was considered one of if not the hottest game in titans franchise history the artificial turf was 157 degrees and players cleats were melting the titans the titans took on the eagles they sacked hertz three times picked him off twice but hertz still led them on a 65 yard drive with two minutes left to win the game uh i don't know about you but there was never a moment i thought the titans were winning this game i just knew somehow come on uh we kicked one about the 150 57 degrees so first i don't know if i believe that i mean i always read that and people show thermometers but i kind of don't know what that means the cleats melting that's crazy uh i guess they just they got to get grass or something right i don't think they're putting that in the uh in the new dome it'd be nice if they did that well they have it in the la dome when did this new trend start i'm seeing it all the time now of reporters walking up with a thermometer it's before like every game now it is yeah i'm like you're you're in the mercedes benz dome why are you they carry meat thermometers everywhere they go just in case they get a pot roast or a football field anything to not talk about the actual titans before the game however i became a believer we're gonna win a game this year oh you are okay well i this week taught me all right maybe the jets are a little better than i gave them credit for and then they lost well no when they beat tennessee i thought the jets were just picking on a bad game and then they lost and then they lost and then they lost and then they had tennessee team i mean but they lost this week yeah they played well they played well i'm just saying the jets know how to tie their shoes for the first time and i'm learning maybe my titans can tie their shoes too it says a lot about philly i don't think they're dominant but the fact that we should have won it tells me there will be a game this year i'm officially changing my prediction from zero wins to one win this season but was there ever a moment you thought they were gonna yeah yeah we had a three-point lead late in the game i thought come on we got this yeah i never thought they were gonna win as a matter of fact i never thought they were gonna win i never thought they were gonna win as a matter of fact i was like trying to figure out how they were gonna lose i was playing in my head and then the moment the eagles got the ball there i was fairly certain but i was pulling for him for you i want them to win a game you are hard suffering and you know they have 157 degree turkey boil on the field i would like to uh to see them by the way i saw the movie uh the moment that game ended i ran the movie theater saw tony last night about anthony bourdain it's a good movie didn't even know that was out i'm behind on my movies how did you not know it was out do you not follow the news i legit haven't been to the movie theater or seen more than two movies in years you didn't go to the odyssey i think the last movie i saw in theaters was the new top gun i'm not kidding how long ago was that a couple years yeah so day well so you didn't see tony no i do like anthony bourdain so i'll have to see it good though he's not very likable in that movie yeah he kind of even though i like him a lot from reading his books he's got a little jerk to him i don't i obviously haven't seen the movie yet to know how they paint that up rose is in it and uh the dude the the british dude from white lotus who i uh he plays a jerk to everyone's a jerk in the movie except antonio banderas who it's hard for me to watch antonio banderas in a serious role because i just think he's gonna break out in bizarro at some point and salma hayek's gonna walk in yeah exactly and uh so it's good it's worth it you should go see uh you should go see anthony i will say it's a little bit of a digression i'm gonna give you one spoiler from the movie anthony bourdain meets a girl at a bar and he's like what are you doing this summer and she goes oh i'm gonna be in provincetown massachusetts you should look me up when i come back in september like they're okay she's being kind of a little flirty right my man just goes and lives in provincetown for the summer just like hoping to run into him committed too hard he runs into her he's like hey i just happen to be living in provincetown too and she's like what and he goes yeah and then she acts like that's normal come on like it's one of the can you imagine meeting someone in a bar and then just moving to the town that she's gonna be in for the summer and like did he didn't even have a place to sleep yeah he leaned way too hard into that offer there hoping to run in one time it's like it's like the next day he's on the sidewalk like oh i'm gonna be in provincetown i'm gonna be in provincetown i'm gonna be in provincetown i didn't know you lived here you know he's a little too no you worked like he he literally okay again spoiler alert he he gets

app today all right go ahead in the first ever matchup between two Two head coaches, whose first name is Todd, the Browns went down to Tampa Bay Bay and beat the Bucs 23 to 19. Is that true? It is. And their middle names are both Robert. So you found a stat that said this is the first game. Both games are tied. Yeah, well, I heard it on the red zone, but the Browns beat the Bucs 23 to 19. There was a two hour and 12 minute lightning delay after Tampa Bay was at the 20 yard line with two minutes left. They do not score. And Deshaun Watson saves his job for another week for throwing for two touchdowns. So what do you mean? I mean, you're this is a terrible loss for your team. Terrible. Tried to tell you in the offseason. What do you I mean, what are your seasons over? Season's over. Yep. You got to fire Bowles. Is Baker done? No, Baker's the guy. I mean, you paid him. So he's we're stuck with him now. But, you know, we've had, what, four or five offensive coordinators in five years in a row. There's no continuity. Todd Bowles has got to go. Why I didn't want him now. Why I wouldn't have paid him. Why? I mean, this result. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, it's disappointing. You know, that was a revenge game. You know, playing the Browns again. But I mean, it was a monsoon. There were standing water in the end zone that the Bucks were trying to score in. And then, you know, the rest is history there. But Browns get a win. Now they have to play Deshaun Watson now, right? Yeah, that's the big takeaway for me. I had faded the Bucks this year. I'm surprised they lost this one, but I didn't have high Bucks expectations. Now I'm actually looking at Deshaun Watson like, hey, maybe you do know how to quarterback. I mean, that was. Yeah, I don't know about that. But that was a legit. That was a legit comeback because they were not running the ball at all. They had like 40 yards like Deshaun Watson went out and won that game, which I would not have believed possible a week ago. So are they going to boo him? Yes. I mean, if he's lost, absolutely. But he just won a road game as the quarterback of the Browns. I don't think you can boo that even with everything going on. I mean, I think secretly they wanted to look. I think the Browns are so bad that when they want to lose, they can't. They can't even do that because I think they secretly wanted to lose. And I think they were going to cut him. Right. But now they I mean, it's got to be the first time in history. It's either start or be cut based on one game. But now I think you have to start and you can't you can't bitch him after that. Right. Not at all. He played really well. I mean, it would you would be tanking if you handed it to Shador or Gabriel right now after as good as he played on the road in that game. Whatever you think of the Bucks, whatever. Anything. I mean, Deshaun Watson played a good game. And I it'd be even though I don't like the guy and all the stuff you have going on, it'd be crazy to take the football away from him now going back to Cleveland. Yeah. But the record show, Drew is very pro Deshaun Watson, just for the right. Well, he did help me. I want my Titans to have the number one pick. And this is a great start to the year if we're going to do that. Yeah. Let the record show when you think of Deshaun Watson, think of Drew Franklin. They're both. I'm pro Deshaun Watson. He earned another game. All right. In the final one o'clock game, Joe Burrow in Cincinnati traveled to Houston and beat the Texans 20 to six. Jamar Chase, who only had two catches for 12 yards in week one, had seven for seventy five and two touchdowns, including a catch of the year candidate. C.J. Stroud, meanwhile, threw the ball fifty five times as Houston running backs only had 18 yards in Houston, who started 0 and 3 last year are now 0 and 2. Really? Boring game. Like that's my biggest takeaway. Really boring game for two teams that I was really excited to watch this one. It was brutal. But big win for the Bengals. They've started the season terribly for like the last five seasons. And now they're 2 and 0 with two wins against good teams scheduled. They got some easier games coming up. I think, you know, Bengals fans got to be really excited. Definitely. We we know what their offense is and what it could do, but they spent a lot to try to improve the defense. And if they're going to be good this year, the defense has to improve week one. But going into Houston and holding that team to six points, stopping that run game looks so good a week ago and shutting them down. If I'm a Bengals fan, I'm very excited about what we did defensively there. And then I just pray to the injury gods that the offense stays healthy this season. And I think we have a really great team. And then the Texans, I mean, they're now 0 and 2. Two contenders came into their building. They lost both games. I mean, the season's not over because they're in an easy division. But that's a that's a tough start. I mean, it's hard to get. I think I thought they could be a contender this year. I don't think you can say that now because they've really given up a huge opportunity. And they go to Indy next, which is obviously a tough game. We know Indy just lost, but scoring 30 points at Kansas City and going back home. And then they have the Cowboys after that. I mean, it's not crazy to say Houston could be 0 and 4, a team that is expecting to go to the playoffs and win a few games in the playoffs. Only teams that go 0 and 2 to start the season only make the playoffs 8 percent of the time. So you got to say, are they one of the 8 percent? Hard to say they are, at least by what we've seen so far. What's next, Billy? In the four o'clock window, Denver scored 17 unanswered points to snap Jacksonville's nine game regular season win streak. They beat the Denver beat Jacksonville 20 to 13 at home. Jalen Waddle. Game eight catches for 138 yards. And Bo Nix is now 24 and 11 as a starter. The same record John Elway had after 35 games. Davis Webb, the offensive coordinator, had seven quarters of looking like the worst hire that's ever been hired to run a football team. And then the fourth quarter probably saved his ability to call plays. Drew, I think if they had played the fourth quarter the way they had played the last seven, Sean Payton would have been announcing today he was over the play calls. Didn't happen. Now I think that, you know, the Broncos had a great quarter. I still do not believe, I mean, they are one of eight in quarters, but they're one and one. Jacksonville had their opportunities in the fourth quarter. Trevor Lawrence had a huge interception, which has always been the issue with him. You wonder if in a big moment he's going to falter. That interception probably cost him the game and put the momentum on Denver's side. But a big win for Denver who did not want to go. Yeah, big win for Denver. And a week after Jalen Waddell, who you go out and get to really help you out, I think he had like one catch for two yards in week one. Had a huge game here with close to 10 catches. That's the Jalen Waddell you want showing up this season and that they might have been a little worried about after that loss in Kansas City when he was absent. Yeah, if you're Jacksonville, you know, I think they had a pressure rate of something like 40% in the second half. Like the offensive line is, that's a huge. Listen to this guy, pressure rate. You really are an NFL expert, Matt. Look, let me tell you something. While you all are sitting around like lollygagging, I'm reading advanced metrics about pressure rates and being, you know, I'm doing my inner Cole Kublik and saying, look, we got to work on our left guard here, Jacksonville. Who's still the left guard in Jacksonville? Well, he's got to be working. I mean, I think it's probably up for grabs. Yeah, that's your point is that they don't have one. They need a new name. I'm with you. Right. If they don't get a better one, then there you go. Pressure rate can get up to 50%. Exactly. Even though. You need to start studying pressure rates. It's a very good. I'm impressed. I'm impressed. I can't wait to learn more from you. Yes. Because there's the low pressure energy coming from Billy over here. That's right. Low T Billy over here. Boomer falling for meme. Low T Billy doesn't understand pressure rate. I don't know what I'm saying, but I can't wait to learn more from him. I'm impressed. I can't wait to learn more from him.

Void, where prohibited. All right, what's next? How about this upset? The Raiders are now 2-0 after beating the Chargers 26-14. Kirk Cousins throws for three touchdowns in his second consecutive game. And now Jim Harbaugh falls to 0-2. For the first time ever in his college or NFL career. Uh, not a shocking result in terms, but like if you had said before the season, the Raiders would be 2-0, Cardinals 0, or Chargers 0-2, you'd be shocked. I want to, let me get to the Chargers in a minute. I do want to say, I'm going to read this guy's name. The Raiders fifth round rookie, Hezekiah Masses. First of all, no one told me they had a guy on their team named Hezekiah Masses. Hezekiah Masses, he's a guy who's been playing in the league. Hezekiah Masses, cause that would have been my favorite player in the league. Uh, Hezekiah Masses is a great name. Intercepts Justin Herbert twice. Kirk Cousins looks like a functional quarterback again. Could the Raiders make the playoffs? 62% of teams that go 2-0 make the playoffs. Uh, it sounds dumb, but yeah, I mean, Cousins looks good early. Probably not going to hand it off to Mendoza anytime soon with having two wins to start the season when we thought this would be a little change over a year. I mean, Genti didn't have a huge game in this one, but he's still Genti. But that's part of what they won. Well, and he wasn't Genti. And then you have two of the best tight ends in the game. You got Brad Dean over from Philly on defense with Crosby. Two weeks ago, I would have laughed at you, but right now with, with the two results we've seen, I don't think it's crazy to say they could be a playoff team. Genti didn't have a big game. Brad Bowers is still in the playoffs. He's still in the playoffs. He's still not a factor and they're 2-0. I mean, come on, call the Hezekiah masses and let them know what's happening. This is big. Now on the other side, the Chargers, they're done. I mean, they've done. The Chargers are done. They're 0-2 with five, they're extremely difficult games to come. They just lost at home to the Cardinals and the Raiders. Those should have been given, Emmy games at home. They got their stadium overwhelmed by Raiders fans. Drew, the Chargers are done. Write them off. I think maybe next to the Titans, they're the team that I'm able to write off the most. Get them out of here. And I was promised that Mike McDaniel, Justin Herbert, Harbaugh, they were going to be the fun team. Even if they weren't winning the championship, they were going to be fun and score points. And let me read you their schedule coming up because it's truly unbelievable. These are their two easy games. They go at the Bills, at the Seahawks, Denver, at Kansas City, at the Rams, Texans, at Ravens. That is an insane, that is an insane seven straight games. DJ Mikey M on the ones and twos is out. I mean, he could go 0-7 in that stretch. He's going to be on the 0-7s. Like he is done. I mean, he is done. I mean, the chart, this will be one of the epic, five bombs of a season of all time. And like, it's not just that they're losing. They look inept. Like they can't do anything. Justin Herbert, he can't. I mean, he, well, to be fair, he has no time. I didn't look it up, but I'm sure the pressure rate is very high on the chargers and Herbert's not been performing. They don't have receivers that can get open. They're done. Five of the next seven games on the road. All but one of them, or a playoff team. And the one that wasn't a playoff team is at the Kansas city chiefs. That is a just gauntlet right here after two games where they were supposed to figure everything out, get two easy wins and then go into that. Unbelievable. Really? One of the worst. That's what happens when you get married. Exactly. No, that's what happens when you hire him. Like, no, when you hire Mike McDaniel and let him wear those sunglasses in your building, that's what happens. Yeah. I think it's more getting engaged. Like, you know, she he's distracted by, by the, you know, Kelsey now, but what's weird is Kelsey refound life after he got married. Well, they're trying to, to be them. Madison's trying to get on TV. Taylor's already got that spot. Y'all need a new angle. You can't, we already have the spouse in the booth every game. We don't need another one. Madison, you gotta, you gotta pick a new Avenue. If you want to be a celebrity in the league. That's right. Madison going Oh, and two with that schedule is not how you do it. Not how you do it. What's next? Dak Prescott through for four touchdowns. As the Cowboys beat the commanders 37 to 20, he actually passed Tony Romo as the career franchise record for touchdown passes. Uh, CD lamb had a big game as well with two touchdowns and 150 yards, but it was hard to watch Jaden Daniels dislocating the same elbow that he hurt last year. Um, in the loss. Yeah, I, that's not good to get hurt in the same way. I mean, I don't know how long he'll be out, but if you do the same injury twice in a row, I'm not a doctor, but that, that worries me. I mean, I think I'm kind of almost like with the charges kind of ready to say the commanders, uh, are done as well. Do you feel like the Cowboys mojo is back as a secondary Cowboys fan? I'm still very disappointed by last week. Yeah, this helps a little bit with his go to the offense looked the Daniels injury that hurts him this year, but I'm also wondering like if you're the commander's decision makers, like he's got one more year on that contract and we know he's good, but do you, is this your future? A guy that's injured? I mean, you certainly can't spend a lot of money, right? I mean, I don't know what he's, but you can't give that guy $55 million. Well, that's a decision they'll have to make very soon, but you know, same injury on the elbow. You can have him play another year on the franchise tag, but, but then you do leave yourself open to other penalties with that, but I don't think you can do it. No, the answer is commanders cannot do that. You cannot. You cannot commit those resources to a quarterback who's had back-to-back dislocated elbow. You just can't. It's malpractice. And that's crazy. In his rookie year, they're thinking we got our guy. This is the future for a long time. And here, two years later, he just can't stay on the field. And that was gruesome. I don't know if you saw it live. Tom Brady just, he's yelled a cuss word and he's like, oh, sorry. I just didn't expect to see that. It's like, even the announcers did not have a reaction. I like that for Tom Brady. I like that he showed human emotion. I mean, not listen, no one wants to see someone get hurt. You know, I mean, not everybody's like Cale Williams and can like, fight back as quickly as he did. So like, there's the normal human interact, like, you know, recovery time. And hopefully Jane Daniels, I guess we'll find out probably tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be able to come back, but I'm still worried long-term based on having that injury twice. There was a moment yesterday. We've since learned that Caleb Williams, it was just a bad migraine, but it was like, did we just lose Caleb Williams and Jalen Daniels like an hour apart? Back to back. Yeah. That would have been terrible. In the future. In the four o'clock window, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Cardinals 31 to seven. This game was seven to seven at halftime, but then Seattle turned it on. Drew Locke threw for three touchdowns, all to Jackson Smith and Jigba. The Seahawks have won 10 straight over Arizona. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have now lost eight straight home games. Yeah. I mean, Drew Locke decided, oh yeah, I've got Jackson Smith and Jigba. Let's just do that. And I mean, he's the best. Would you call him the best receiver in the league right now? I don't want to downplay Darnold last year, but part of me is like, okay, now Drew Locke's doing it. Could I do it? Could Jack Strand do it? I mean, these guys are, but these guys are making it look so easy. I mean, Drew Locke has looked awesome through two weeks. I mean, he's looked, I don't know about awesome. He's looked awesome throwing it to Jackson Smith and Jigba, but he's doing what he needed. I mean, it's exactly what they need from him. They've got probably what, two more games he's going to play before they get Darnold back. So they're taking care of business and you know, I think if you were looking at the NFC, especially with Caleb's injury, if you were to say, okay, who's the best team in the NFC so far? It looks like the new answer is the same as the old one, Drew. It's Seattle. Yeah, absolutely Seattle. To even lose Walker like they did, I know the draft pick didn't play well last night, but for that team to just basically pick the bag back up and go back to work after that loss and then not having, why does his name escape me, the Notre Dame running back, hasn't really popped, price, excuse me, generic price, just hasn't popped yet. So yeah, Seattle's going to be there at the end in the conversation for sure. If you're Arizona, like you won in week one, you can deal with this. I don't think it really changes a whole lot. What's next? Two more. The 49ers beat the Dolphins 35-13. 49ers scored touchdowns on their first five drives of the game, and Christian McCaffrey became the fourth fastest player in the Super Bowl era with 100 career touchdowns. I do have to say one thing from this. So this was the other game I didn't watch one minute of. So I logged on to the NFL's website because they do what I think is a pretty good review of the games. And there was somebody, I don't know who wrote this, but this is, can I read you what they wrote from this game? Please. Brock Party never seen stress, and he channeled his best Oprah Winfrey going, you get a touchdown, you get a touchdown. Oh, no. Oh, that made my skin crawl a little bit. That was on the NFL website for this game, Drew. Just kidding. We love the NFL and our colleagues. I'm sure whoever wrote that, we'll see them in the break room after this taping. Yeah. Probably not what I would have written, but Party, your boy, he's not one of your fantasy guys, is he? I started him this week. Okay, yeah, yeah. He was my backup, so I drafted him early and got, you know, junk for drafting a backup quarterback early, but I looked Drake Miami, I didn't think he had it this week, looked at Party, he said, I'm next man up. And then he, uh, he had like 35 fantasy points. He did, and almost, only had a couple of incompletions. He's also getting an old man Kittle involved, an old man McCaffrey, and all these people in San Francisco. They even got the guy involved whose wife makes the jackets. Oh, yeah. You check. Everybody, Mike Evans, everybody's like, all the 49ers, they're a retirement home, but they said not, not just yet. I think they got at least this season of getting maximum potential and success out of all those guys that we thought might have been a little too old. By the way, how about that? Billy thinks that we don't know anything about football. We've already referenced pressure rates and, uh, full backs, wives, jacket making abilities, NFL experts. That's what happens in year two of a cover zero podcast. Yeah. I want one of her jackets. Uh, she also pointed at the ring and said, that's my, that's my husband. When he, uh, when he scored, it was his first touchdown since like week three of, uh, last year. There's not much to say about this game. The, the 49ers are really good. What's next? And finally in Thursday night football action, the bills opened their new $2.1 billion stadium and beat the lions 41 to 31. Josh Allen had five touchdowns, three in the air, two on the ground. And the lions defense gave up 446 total yards. They're pretty banged up, but Detroit now. Oh, and two. Yeah. That was really never again. I mean, that was really never a game. It was over, uh, early Dean Walker, by the way, has the highest, uh, player rating of any of the defensive linemen in the, in the NFL through the first year. The first two weeks, which is pretty impressive. Um, my only thought about Dean Walker is I don't understand why these players don't get jerseys that fit over their belly. What, why? I think they like, why do really fat defensive linemen not want to cover their belly? I mean, I'm not really fat, but sometimes if I've eaten too much, I'll have a little bit of a belly and I'm like neurotic about one. The hot, hot it. These men, the fatter they are, the shorter the shirt they want. And the more belly flab they want hanging out. Yeah. And I like when they're. And they're like resting between plays. It's almost like they're pushing it out. You know, they're arching their back and making sure you're seeing all that exposed belly that you can see. They don't care. No, not at all. I assume they make jerseys big enough to cover it. Oh, they, if they wanted those bellies covered, they would easily get covered, but it's, I guess it's part of the brand. People are loving Dion. Some of them wear the cutoff with a white t-shirt under it, which just looks sloppy where the white t-shirt covers the belly, but the Jersey doesn't. It just feels like this is something we should address. I mean, they get mad. They get mad in the NBA. If guys wear their shorts too short or whatever, untuck the Jersey in the NFL, they're just like, yeah, let that flab stick out of there. I think it's just part of the brand. If you're, if you're nose like that, your job is to take up space and you just want to show off. Look, I've been working hard on this gut. I want you to see it. Can I ask you one question about this game? What is the appeal to people? Of Ryan Fitzpatrick taking his shirt off? I don't know. Cause I watched the, I was bored and I couldn't sleep. So I watched the Amazon post game show of this game and the entire post game show, literally the entire hour of it seemed to just be an elaborate setup to get Ryan Fitzpatrick to take his shirt off. They, I mean like the crowd was chanting it. The announcers were talking about it. Then they brought Josh Allen. Essentially Clarissa Thompson had tell everyone to stop because they would get there in a minute. And then at the very end, he takes his shirt off and it was like, it was the final scene of the Sopranos. People were so excited. Why? He's not even like, he's not even fat. Like he's in good shape. Like what's the point? Uh, he's got that nice sweater look, you know, it's not too much chest hair, but like he's got, I've got the same amount of chest hair and the beard places. People are not chanting for me to take my, my shirt off. I don't know. For some reason, people embrace it with him. Others do it. You know, McAfee does it. Kelsey does a little bit. Fitzpatrick's been doing it from the beginning. And I guess that's why people just embrace it. He'll do it in Lambeau when it's the coldest. But I don't, I don't understand why, like I get, okay. If it's in Lambeau and it's minus 17. Okay. I get it. Right. If someone's really fat. Okay. I get it. If someone has like shaved a picture of their woman into their chest hair, I get it, but he's just a normal looking man. Why? So, so why, why, what is it? That's so great about it. I don't know. I would prefer that he left it on, but I guess it's just, he's everybody likes him. Cause at one point he played for their team. Everybody has it. Right. For everything. But he was a Titan for a year. Everybody has a Fitzpatrick memory. I guess they're just rooting them on. If it, if I were Fitzpatrick, I would be like, Hey guys, they paid me to sit here and talk about the game. And you are just shut up. Take your shirt off. When he talks to the crowd, it's the only chance for him to take his shirt off. Like they don't, he, he might be a Rhodes scholar. I don't know. - He went to Harvard. - You hear him. Huh? - Exactly. Exactly. And yeah, I mean, imagine you spent all that money at Harvard and then everybody, like you, they don't, we don't do this in other walks of life. Like somebody is up there, like, you know, give it a lecture on physics and they don't just go, shut up, take your shirt off. - They do for Ryan Fitzpatrick. - I bet he has really good things to say otherwise. You just, we don't give him time to say it. - I don't, I never listened to anything he said. - Now that you mention it, he went to Harvard. He knows the inside of every organization in the NFL. This guy should have all of the knowledge. - Shut up and take your shirt off. That would be harassment in many cultures. Anyway. All right. The touchdown. Did we, who got the touchdown? - Lamar did not score for you, Matt. And Saquon did not score for Drew, but Mecca Ibuka did score for me. - Saquon got hurt, right? - Yeah, he did. He got hurt early. - So it's what? One, one, one? - That's correct. And for the survivor, Drew lost with the Bucks. So I win with the 49ers. - In week two. - Week two, I won. - I thought I was the Ravens, which would still be a loss. Tough week for survivor pools everywhere. There were three touchdown favorites and all three lost. - Yeah. So for survivor pools are gone. Including this one. Billy wins for the second straight here. - Yeah, I'll keep, I'll keep going. Don't worry. - Yeah. I don't think it's as fun when it's just you. I don't think people, I don't think people follow quite as much. Well, thank you folks very much for, for listening. We will be back on Wednesday to preview the games and give you updates on all the injuries. Drew, thank you. - You got us on one. - Thank you. This has been NFL Cover Zero. We'll be right back. - We'll be right back. activity. And if identity theft happens, LifeLocks Registration specialists help restore your identity.
