Colin gives his instant reaction to the Monday Night Football doubleheader and the Dodgers win over the Brewers. He starts with the Bears beating the Commanders on a walk off field goal and argues the Bears came away with multiple positives, including a solid performance from Caleb Williams, a strong run game and an opportunistic defense that gave the Bears a W in a game they typically lose (3:00). He moves to the Falcons dominating the Bills behind a huge performance by Bijan Robinson. He highlights some major issues for the Bills including a weak pass rush, being too dependent on Josh Allen, and an ascending Patriots team that’s now in first place in the AFC East (10:30).  Finally, he breaks down the Dodgers 2-1 win over the Brewers in a game dominated by Blake Snell, despite Shohei Ohtani’s bat going cold in the postseason and a shaky bullpen (16:15).  All lines provided by hardrock.bet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
