Rams Panic, Bears Explode & Mahomes Is Back
Week 1 gave us plenty to overreact to. Caine and Touchdown break down a wild opening week across the NFL, starting with Touchdown trying to make sense of the Rams’ ugly loss to the 49ers. From there, they debate whether Chicago’s explosive offense makes the Bears a legitimate contender, what Josh Allen and the Bills showed against Houston, and whether Baltimore’s hot start with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry can finally carry into the postseason. They also get into Caine’s experience watching the Commanders battle the Eagles in Philly, the Giants’ surprising statement against Dallas, Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville rolling Cleveland, Deshaun Watson’s continued struggles, Arizona shocking the Chargers, Cincinnati showing signs of an improved defense, questions surrounding Cam Ward and Tennessee, and Patrick Mahomes looking like Patrick Mahomes again in Kansas City’s win over Denver. Plus, Caine and Touchdown check the scoreboard on their Week 1 picks after both finishing 8–8 against the spread, look ahead to the biggest Week 2 matchups, and somehow still find time for Touchdown to convince himself everything is fine with the Rams.
