SVP and Stanford Steve break down all the action from NFL Week 5. Starting with the absolute THRILLER in Jacksonville, the guys react to Trevor Lawrence’s heroics and the Jaguars’ upside this season.

But don’t lose sight of the Buccaneers, who took down a good Seahawks team in a Seattle Shootout. Plus, thoughts on the Chargers, Commanders, Colts, Patriots and Bills. And of course, Pooptown, which is filling up more and more by the week. SVP gives his list of the six (and a half) current residents.
