Get ready for an action-packed Week 11 NFL breakdown! In this episode, Dave Clarke, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan bring you the latest power rankings, playoff projections, and team drama. Kicking off with Dave’s heated “State of the Sizzle” segment, they discuss the Bears’ recent coaching shake-up following the firing of OC Shane Waldron. As interim OC Thomas Brown steps in, the hosts debate whether this change can rescue Chicago’s season or if the Bears are in for a rough second half.
The episode then shifts to cross-off teams as they debate if the Giants, Cowboys, and Jets still have a shot at the playoffs or if their seasons are effectively over. The hosts break down each team’s struggles, exploring if there’s any chance for a comeback or if these teams are just too far behind.
In the Week 11 power rankings, the hosts analyze the potential of the 49ers, Cardinals, and Vikings. Are the 49ers finally bouncing back from a challenging season start? Could the Cardinals make an unexpected playoff push? And does the Vikings’ 7-2 record make them a legitimate contender? As anticipation builds for the Eagles-Commanders game, the hosts preview this NFC showdown and debate whether Washington has what it takes to pull off a major upset.
They close out the episode with an eye on player health concerns, especially for quarterbacks. With Tua Tagovailoa’s risky season and the mental and physical demands on players, the hosts examine the NFL’s safety protocols and the ongoing debate over brain injuries. This episode has everything NFL fans need for Week 11 insights, from heated debates and predictions to analysis of the biggest stories in the league!
