Week 1 NFL Reaction: Jaxson Dart is on the clock, vintage Rodgers, Lamar's interaction with a fan Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

Week 1 raised big questions: did Sunday night feature the NFL’s two best teams, or do Baltimore’s pass rush issues and Buffalo’s shaky safeties say otherwise? Aaron Rodgers looked vintage, Miami looked lost, and Daniel Jones may finally have the right team around him in Indy. Pete Carroll made history, Jalen Carter’s spit drew scrutiny, and Kansas City must replace Xavier Worthy.
