On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a quick thought on the New Orleans Saints beatdown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Now, there are a lot of conclusions you can draw from that game, but the biggest one is this: There is no dominant team in today's NFL. The Bucs might be the most complete team, but dominant teams don't get beat by 35 points. The Seattle Seahawks defense can't stop a nosebleed, and the Green Bay Packers got their doors blown off 2 weeks ago. Even the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers needed a 4th quarter comeback to beat the hapless Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. In fact, Jason argues that in a field of very-good-but-not-great teams, the only way to really determine whose the best is by identifying which team has the best player, and that honor belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes has re-asserted himself as the clear-cut MVP frontrunner, but his greatness is being taken for granted. In many ways, Mahomes is the LeBron James of the NFL: He should be the MVP every year, but voters will still find a way to give it someone else. Later, Jason explains why it's time to consider blowing up the Chicago Bears. Nick Foles is clearly not a franchise quarterback, and noted offensive 'guru' Matt Nagy has shown that he's anything but. Jason also shares a quick thought on Jim Harbaugh's latest embarrassing loss as the head coach at Michigan, and explain why he's almost certain that Harbaugh will be back in the NFL next season. Finally, Jason closes things out by handing out the Monday Night Football edition of The Best Bet.
