00:00And what about Quentin Johnston?

00:02Yeah, this is big now.

00:04They fully expect him to play.

00:06He had an illness.

00:08By the way, there are a lot of teams that have been

00:10affected by illness the last couple of weeks.

00:12This is a big flu season, as everybody knows.

00:14But they expect Johnston to play.

00:16By the way, I know you loved him for the draft.

00:18Tough rookie season.

00:20He's really done well this season, and he is starting

00:22to develop great chemistry with Justin Herbert.

00:24So they should be good.

00:26As I said before the break, Gus Edwards, they're

00:28expecting him to play.

00:30The difference really in this game is the Texans

00:32offensive line has been dreadful in pass protection.

00:34Yes, C.J. Stroud has taken a step back this season,

00:36but it's mostly because of pass protection.

00:38All right, Steelers-Ravens.

00:40The big story is really Zay Flowers, right?

00:42Yeah.

00:44And by the way, they knew all week he wouldn't play

00:46with a sprained knee.

00:48They'll go with Nelson Aguilar and Tylan Wallace.

00:50That's a big, by the way, that's a big deal.

00:52I know they're dominated by their tight ends,

00:54and they're deep there, and they're great there.

00:56Nelson is a playmaker in the middle of the field,

00:58more inside the numbers.

01:00That's a big deal here.

01:02And by the way, the line is actually, even though

01:04with him being ruled out today, the line is not moved.

01:06In fact, it's either gone from 9 1⁄2 to 10.

01:08In fact, it went back to 10 within the last couple hours.

01:10All right.

01:12So on Sunday, there's three games, and the 1 o'clock

01:14game is Buffalo and Denver, and there's literally

01:16no injuries to report on.

01:18But at the same time, Sean Payton's got the Broncos

01:20playing really good football.

01:22They're going in there.

01:24How do you think Bo Nix will do against the Bills

01:26who are playoff-ready, playoff-primed?

01:28They've been to the title game several times,

01:30and they continue to fall short.

01:32A lot of expectations on the Buffalo Bills going

01:34into this wild card and the start of the playoffs.

01:36Yeah, and they are so far ahead of schedule.

01:38The oddsmakers gave them a 5 1⁄2 win total

01:40for future numbers to start the season.

01:42I mean, it's way above that.

01:44They certainly impressed me.

01:46I'm blown away.

01:48I'm blown away.

01:50I'm blown away.

01:52They certainly impressed me.

01:54I'm blown away by how good they've been.

01:56But it's their defense that's carrying it.

01:58Though Marvin Mims, the second-year receiver

02:00out of Oklahoma, is really coming on here.

02:02They've got enough to hang into this game.

02:04They're not going to win it.

02:06But they're healthy.

02:08Carver High's Bills are healthy.

02:10By the way, Josh Allen not even on the injury report,

02:12which is a good thing.

02:14They've got to show me they can win a big game on the road.

02:16Remember, they got blown out earlier this season

02:18at Baltimore.

02:20We've got a number-two polls coming up.

02:22I've got to look at him for Coach of the Year.

02:24Again, it's about exceeding expectations.

02:26The Broncos have certainly done that.
