Show notes

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab take a deep dive into the Baltimore Ravens’ narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on the first Thursday Night Football game of the season. Does Lamar Jackson’s offensive line need some work or is the Chiefs’ defense just *that* good?

The two give some early superlative predictions for the NFL season from the ‘Kirk Cousins Award’ for mediocrity to the ‘Barry Sanders Award’ for the player who’ll have to carry their bad team (looking at you Raiders).

Later, Fitz & Frank give their bold predictions for the remaining Week 1 games including Jordan Love coming back down to earth vs. Philadelphia, the Carolina Panthers starting 1-0 against the New Orleans Saints and, against all odds, a good season for Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings.

Show notes

Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to take a deeper dive into some more nuanced conversation around NFL teams in a segment called "Two Things Can Be True."
