00:00What was the most surprising game for you today?

00:05Because there's about three that stood out to me.

00:08But which one really was like, wow, football's back.

00:11It's Sunday.

00:12Well, the Colts-Texans game, I was super high on coming into.

00:18We spoke about it briefly on Thursday, Friday.

00:21Awesome stuff in that game.

00:23Titans-Bears was a complete mess.

00:26Titans were up 17-0.

00:27They didn't end up covering 4.5 points.

00:31And they held a Bears offense to not score an offensive

00:36touchdown and held them to, what was it,

00:38less than 200 yards on offense.

00:40And they still managed to lose the game and not cover.

00:43It's absolutely unbelievable.

00:45In that game, we did see Caleb Williams' struggle

00:49a significant amount.

00:50And looking at some of his baseline stats,

00:53they weren't good.

00:54When we dive into some of his advanced stats

00:56and look at CPOE, completion percentage over expectation,

00:59that was absolutely horrible.

01:01It is just one game, one quarter, one half.

01:04One game does not define any of these players.

01:07It's about how they adjust and move forward.

01:10What we saw from Bryce Young and the Panthers,

01:13that is far more concerning.

01:15Because coming into this season, there

01:16were expectations that he may take a step forward.

01:19But it was the same old Bryce Young.

01:20So what we saw from Caleb Williams is not concerning yet.

01:24If this were to be a string of games, that would be a different story.

01:27So the Colts game was very exciting.

01:29The Bears game was also exciting for a completely different reason.

01:32Oh, yeah.

01:33I couldn't agree more.

01:34And I will say this, another reason why Williams' performance didn't

01:37concern me too much today is because there

01:39was a number of plays where his offensive line kind of failed him.

01:42And it wasn't just them creating enough space for him.

01:45It was the fact that the snaps were just horrible.

01:47So he's flustered.

01:48He's trying to regain composure and then still

01:50trying to get his eyes downfield to see where and how he's going to connect.

01:54So there just seemed to be a little bit too much chaos

01:56at the line of scrimmage for me, especially for a guy like Williams.

01:59And we didn't see that in the preseason.

02:01So there might still be hope.

02:03I mean, they still find a way to come out on top.

02:05You got Levis that closed out with 127 passing yards,

02:08one touchdown, two interceptions.

02:10Those turnovers are going to get you.

02:11But yes, Williams barely came up strong with 93 passing yards.

02:16Then you mention, well, we're talking about quarterbacks, actually.

02:20I'm going to backtrack a little bit here.

02:22We had a QB shuffle take place for the Steelers.

02:25Steelers come out versus the Falcons.

02:26And then the Falcons just are not looking

02:29like the sexiest team in the NFC South.

02:31And guys, don't judge.

02:32The NFC South, I get it.

02:33People think it's a joke.

02:34But still, they were supposed to secure the top spot there.
