The only other AFC South team with a win is the 1-2 Indianapolis Colts. Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars look lost. The Tennessee Titans don't look much better. In The Loop takes a trip around the AFC South.

Transcript

00:00Yeah. All right. Real quick. Let's get into this around the

00:02AFC South. Talk about what happened amongst those teams.

00:04All right. We're going to do this in a very particular way.

00:07Obviously, there's three other teams. You guys select where we

00:10go. You pick and I'll deliver. How's that? All right. Where we

00:15want to go, fellas?

00:17Let's go to Jacksonville.

00:18All right. Jacksonville Jaguars. They're 0-2. And that's because

00:22they are one of the Monday night football doubleheaders tonight.

00:26So they have the Buffalo Bills, a team that is looking really

00:29good thus far in the season. The big things with the

00:32Jacksonville Jaguars right now, Darnell Savage, safety for them,

00:36kind of plays. I think he might play kind of nickel at times as

00:39well. He's been ruled out for this game. And he has only

00:42really played one game early on in the season, because I think

00:44he missed last week as well. But he's vital to what they're

00:47trying to do. So that's going to be a big miss for them against

00:51the team that has Josh Allen. And Josh Allen, who has looked a

00:54lot better than we maybe anticipated without as many

00:59weapons around him. Also, Evan Ingram, again, is probably out

01:03according to Doug Peterson for this game. And he has been a

01:06dude who bounced around the league a lot. And he found

01:09something there in Jacksonville. At least they found a way to

01:11utilize him. He is also out. So that does not really bode well

01:14for the Jaguars. Maybe they start 0-3.

01:16You need to watch tonight's game if you are a Texans fan and see

01:19how it plays out. Because this is kind of hard to fathom. If

01:24Jacksonville wins tonight and then wins next week against the

01:28Texans here, they'd be tied. Yeah, they're in first place.

01:31Yeah. How quickly that happens in the NFL, man. Wow, that

01:34happened pretty quickly. It happens real quick. Could

01:37happen pretty quickly. Yeah, I guess could happen, right? They

01:40have to first get over the Bills, who are another really

01:42good team in the AFC. But these are the two teams the Texans are

01:45playing next. So you've definitely got to be watching

01:47this game. What's Jacksonville look like? Because that's who

01:49you're facing off against next week. And the week after, you

01:52get the Buffalo Bills. In one of the Monday night football games

01:57in a weird doubleheader. Yeah. Although those are kind of

02:00staggered but up against each other. So that's that's

02:02definitely something I'll be watching tonight. All right. You

02:04got to you got the Colts. You got the Titans. Where are we

02:06going next? Let's go to the Titans. What do you think,

02:08Figgy? Yeah, check out the Titans. Titans fall to a former

02:13quarterback that they just got rid of earlier this season. It

02:15is a they're 0-3. And Malik Willis came in and was the

02:19quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in a 30-14 victory.

02:23Willis was solid. He did what he's asked. 13-19, 202 passing

02:28and a touchdown. Plus, he added 73 yards on the ground with a

02:31rushing touchdown. Like, this has to really smart for the

02:35Titans, especially because the quarterback you had out there

02:37was doing shenanigans again, right? He ultimately threw for

02:42260 yards and he had two touchdowns, but he had two

02:45interceptions. It was and it's really the fact that there's the

02:47nonsense within this. In fact, there was this play here where

02:50this is really the epitome of Will Levis shenanigans.

02:55Oh, my bad, Fig.

02:56Play action. Levis gonna run. Going airborne. He didn't get

03:01there.

03:03Quay Walker, Isaiah McDuffie slam.

03:07They slammed him. And when they slammed him, he tried to hurdle

03:10a defender. Two defenders, mind you. He tried to have that

03:12highlight moment. Two yards away from the sticks. Who do you

03:16think you are? And again, this is on a fourth and two.

03:20He gets to the line of scrimmage on the outside and he tries to

03:23hurdle. And that's just Will Levis for you. But yeah, they

03:27ultimately lose. I think Malik Willis was asked about, and do

03:31we have this audio here, Fig? Malik Willis was asked about,

03:35like, if in particular, made it, you know, made it feel any

03:37different form? Like if it was more rewarding, getting the win

03:40against his former team is what he said.

03:42I think all wins count the same. It doesn't really, you know, too

03:46much more or less. It was cool to see some of my old guys. But

03:49I don't think it adds or, you know, devalues. It added a

03:53little bit. It added a little bit. I will say, man, Malik

03:57Willis, he does seem to be a classy guy. He seems to be on

03:59it. His whole, all of his answers all the way across

04:01sounded like that. But yeah, I don't believe you in that

04:03particular way. Another thing from that game, Chito Awuzieh,

04:06cornerback for the Titans. He left the game with a groin

04:08injury. He didn't return and after the second quarter. So

04:11like, that's something to watch in that space, if they're going

04:13to have injury issues that linger for him, because that he

04:16matters when it comes to the defense. Bless their little

04:18hearts. All right. You know how I feel about the Titans. Yeah,

04:20I know. I know. You're very affectionate towards that team,

04:23except you're absolutely not. But yeah, so they're 0-3. And we

04:26thought that we would have another 0-4 that we might

04:28possibly have that as we talked about the Monday night football

04:31game being two future Texans opponents, two previous future,

04:36previous rather Texas opponents matched up on Sunday in the

04:39Colts and the Bears. The Colts actually got a win. We thought

04:42the Bears might be able to do something. No, no, they did not.

04:45The Colts got their first win of the season 21-16. Apparently

04:48they call this the I-65 rivalry. Did not realize that. Okay, like

04:52what is this high school? Did not realize that they had like

04:55cowboys and Texans or something? I don't know. But yeah, man,

04:58between the Colts and the Bears, the Bears in the end of the

05:02second quarter had an opportunity that might have

05:04changed the way that this happens. I know that the kind of

05:06butterfly effect when one play happens in the middle of the

05:09game, other things are probably going to go different. But they

05:12had a Hail Mary that

05:14stopped just one yard line and they ultimately lose by what is

05:18that? Five points. So only God knows how that shifts out. But

05:23the Bears who had the fourth fewest amount of rushing yards

05:26entering the game also still did not run the football well. 2.3

05:30yards per carry. So while the Colts did give up a whole bunch

05:33of yards to the Texans, the Bears couldn't take advantage of

05:35that either.

05:36Yeah, and the Colts, you know, well, here's the thing about the

05:39AFC South right now. The top two quarterbacks in the NFL with the

05:44most turnovers are both in the AFC.

05:46Yeah, Anthony Richardson, a nice, perfect balance. 10 of

05:4920, 167 yards, two interceptions.

05:51Yeah, so I think he's got eight turnovers. And Will Levis has

05:5510 or it might be nine and seven. But yeah, the two

06:00quarterbacks with the most turnovers are in the AFC South.

06:02And they're on the they're on the two teams that, you know,

06:05obviously fancied themselves, certainly in the Titans case as

06:08a contender. Well, I didn't think the Titans were going to

06:10be much. They're not. I haven't had a lot of confidence. I you

06:14know, I said this is what's so frustrating about Anthony

06:16Richardson. He's not it right now. No, he is extremely

06:19frustrating to watch. But that's all good news for the Texans.

06:23I'm telling you, all of a sudden, Jacksonville, man, you

06:27know, Jacksonville, you're like, man, if they win tonight, that

06:30place gonna be rocking first of all next week, but it's gonna be

06:32for first place.

06:33Yeah, big if big if some other things with the Colts. I

06:36mentioned Anthony Richardson not having a great day. Jonathan

06:38Taylor did 110 yards, two touchdowns on the ground. The

06:41other touchdown was another Russian one from Trey sermon

06:43and quitty pay. He suffered a quad injury with like three

06:46minutes left in the fourth quarter didn't return. So he

06:49couldn't put any weight on it when he was leaving. They're

06:52going to do an MRI to figure out what's happened. Yeah, somewhat

06:56optimistic in that place. But that's another place where that

06:59could affect things going forward. But yeah, man. Also,

07:02Caleb Williams, 363 yards, two touchdowns. He did have two

07:06interceptions, though he and his first touchdown was also a first

07:10career touchdown was also Roma doomsday. His first career

07:12touchdown. You can see them after the touchdown trying to

07:14fight over the football. I thought that was a little funny.

07:15But 363 yards is the most in the league thus far the season and

07:21the most by Bears quarterback since Brian Hoyer, who did it in

07:242016 against the Indianapolis Colts who gets the ball? Who

07:28should get the ball? That's a good question. Who gets the ball

07:31for you? Probably I guess the quarterback probably I think the

07:35receiver Yeah, I was like, I was gonna say the receiver. I think

07:37there's a room should get it. Because I think the quarterback

07:39is gonna have you would think you know, but

07:42just take the stitches out of the ball, man. You get one half

07:47of the ball. Cool. Yeah, that'd be very cool. Or whoever gets

07:51the ball has to give over the jersey. Something like that. You

07:53know what I'm saying? But there you go. That's around the AFC

07:56South. What's happening
