The Guardians can clinch a playoff spot before first pitch if the Rangers or Astros lose, which sparks a debate over whether they can celebrate with champagne and beers even if they lose that night. A caller argues popping bottles is a bad look with the division lead still on the line and the White Sox lurking. The crew also rips MLB's playoff format for not reseeding by record, even though Cleveland has benefited from it.

After Emory Hunt says Trinidad Chambliss would have been his top quarterback over Fernando Mendoza, Ken praises the Ferris State to Ole Miss journey and his improvisation but worries about his size and the NFL punishment he'd face. He says he would still take Dante Moore, Darian Mensah or Arch Manning in a top three spot, and the crew wonders if any young quarterback is safe from injury.

CBS Sports analyst Emory Hunt says Deshaun Watson looked like the old version of himself in Tampa, but the small ball offense needs deep shots and a real running game to survive. He still believes Shedeur Sanders raises the ceiling of this offense and compares the situation to Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick. He also weighs in on the college quarterback class and gives a blunt answer on the Protect College Sports Act.

Ken and Lima run wild with Mary Kay Cabot's comment that teammates hesitated to take sacks from Myles Garrett last year, pointing to a Josh Allen sack that was changed from Mason Graham's to a split between Garrett and Alex Wright. They play Graham's own words about giving sacks away to a good cause and joke about launching an official NFL investigation. Is the record worth digging into, or is it better not to know?

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot says Deshaun Watson would have lost his starting job to Shedeur Sanders had he struggled again against Tampa Bay, and explains why his response to Sunday's crowd could shape what comes next. She also pitches an unusual idea to get Taylen Green on the field for short yardage. Then her take on Mason Graham stepping out of Myles Garrett's shadow sparks a wild theory about last year's sack chase.
