Another wild weekend of football is in the books! 🏈 In this episode: College football delivered multiple shockers — No. 9 Texas fell to Florida, No. 7 Penn State lost to UCLA, and Colorado took another tough loss to TCU. Which upset stood out most? And is it time to talk about Arch Manning? Thursday Night Football gave us an overtime thriller as Mac Jones and the 49ers edged the Rams 26–23. Are the 49ers the best team in the NFC West, or should we start questioning Sean McVay? The Denver Broncos pulled off a comeback win against the defending champs, the Eagles, 21–17 — shutting them out in the fourth quarter with 18 unanswered points. Is Denver a real playoff contender, and what’s going on with Jalen Hurts? Plus, we’re back with our NFL Week 6 Picks — SF vs TB, DET vs KC, CHI vs WSH & SEA vs JAX — and Shelton “Check the Spread” Jay is looking to stay on top!

While Sunday night was about “America’s Team,” Sunday afternoon was all about Black America’s Teams. The Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium, 37–20. Did this game prove Kansas City is still the team to beat in the AFC, even after a 1–2 start? Do we need to have the annual Lamar Jackson conversation again? 🔥 Kyle Hamilton on the Ravens’ struggles: “I just want to apologize to all fans. The product we are putting on the field right now is not up to par with what the Ravens have produced in the recent past. We’re trying our best to correct it, but obviously something is wrong.” 📊 Fun Fact: The Ravens have started 1–3 only twice in the last 25 years (2005 & 2015). Both times, they missed the playoffs. This year, their defense is on pace to allow 560 points (33 per game). #Chiefs #Ravens #NFL Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sunday night gave us something we almost never see in the NFL — a tie. The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys battled it out in “Jerry’s World,” but neither team could pull away, ending 40–40 in overtime. Does this result make you view the Packers more negatively? Did the Cowboys actually look stronger in the tie? And most importantly… did this game prove Jerry Jones right for trading Micah Parsons?
