    Brock Purdy SHINES as 49ers DEFEAT Bears on SNF + NFL Week 17 Reaction Dec 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Former NFL scout John Middlekauff reacts LIVE following the Week 17 Sunday Night Football matchup between Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears vs. Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers. John kicks off by reacting to another game of the year candidate as the 49ers outlast the Bears on SNF in Week 17. John discusses how it the 49ers control their own destiny for the NFC's number 1 overall seed if they can defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. John also discusses Brock Purdy's back to back career performances and head coach Kyle Shanahan's Coach of the Year consideration. John then dives into the Pittsburgh Steelers loss to Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns to set up a win or go home matchup with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. John debates whether head coach Mike Tomlin or QB Aaron Rodgers should return in 2026 if the team misses the NFL playoffs. John then dives into the NFC South as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers both lost in Week 17 to the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks, respectively, and how their Week 18 win or go home game for the NFC South title could forecast them exiting early in the playoffs. John flips the script and discusses the AFC South, which feature two of the hottest teams in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans, and how he wouldn't be surprised if either of those teams ended up in the AFC Championship game. John then applauds the Las Vegas Raiders for losing to the New York Giants in Week 17, setting the team up to have the number 1 pick in the NFL Draft heading into their Week 18 game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Eagles Survive Bills Rally, Steelers Are In BIG Trouble, Don’t Sleep On The Pats, Pete Carroll One & Done? Dec 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 17 NFL Sunday slate.

    They start with the Eagles holding off a late rally by the Bills to win in Buffalo and agree the Bills are entirely too Josh Allen dependent when he’s clearly not 100%, and discuss the hot/cold nature of the Eagles offense. They both agree the Bills look like a one and done team in the playoffs (2:30).

    They move to the Steelers loss to the Browns putting their playoff hopes in jeopardy and point to DK Metcalf’s suspension making their offense completely inept and discuss whether Mike Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh has run its course (15:00).

    They recap the Seahawks win over the Panthers and Colin explains that while the Seahawks don’t excel at any one thing, they also don’t have a real weakness (29:30).

    They break down the Patriots blowout win over the Jets and Colin believes that people are underselling the Pats and that if they’re “on” they can beat anybody in the AFC (35:30).

    They move to the Saturday games and start with the Ravens win over the Packers. Colin believes the Ravens will beat the Steelers to make the playoffs but John counters that the Ravens can look vastly different week to week. They also believe that Malik Willis will be a hot commodity for QB needy teams in the offseason (42:30).

    They move to the Texans win over the Chargers and they marvel at the resurgence of the Texans under DeMeco Ryans & break down why the Texans are a terrible matchup for the Chargers (46:30).

    They pivot to the last week of games being on 4 different broadcast networks and 3 streaming services and Colin argues that it’s a BIG ask of fans to buy extra streaming services to watch late-season games where injuries can make for terrible games (56:45).

    They move to the Raiders losing to the Giants that will result in the Raiders likely landing the #1 pick in the draft and debate whether the Raiders should bring back Pete Carroll for a second year or blow it up to pair a young offensive coach with Fernando Mendoza (1:01:45).

    Finally, they discuss former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham being hired at Michigan and Colin explains why having an adult in the room will be a positive for UM and his style of football will work perfectly in the Big Ten (1:09:00).

    Reaction to Brock Purdy & 49ers DOMINATING Philip Rivers & Colts on MNF Dec 23, 2025
    Show notes

    Former NFL scout John Middlekauff reacts LIVE following the Week 16 Monday Night Football matchup between Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers vs. Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. The 49ers dominate 48–27 on the road, improving to 11–4 and keeping their NFC No. 1 seed hopes alive. John opens by reacting to Brock Purdy’s career night, as he throws a career-high five touchdown passes and leads San Francisco to its fifth straight win. John discusses Kyle Shanahan’s offensive approach, Brock Purdy’s ability to make plays on the move, the impact of George Kittle, and why winning out for the NFC’s top seed would be “the craziest football thing in my life,” with a massive Week 17 home matchup vs. the Chicago Bears looming.

    John then breaks down Philip Rivers’ “exceptional and brilliant” performance in his second start since returning to the NFL, before examining the Colts’ late-season collapse and roster decisions. John also reacts to the NFL suspending Steelers WR DK Metcalf for two games without pay, the financial implications of the decision, and questions his future in Pittsburgh.

    John wraps up with his thoughts on Bill Belichick hiring Bobby Petrino as his offensive coordinator at North Carolina.
