Week 1 wraps up tonight in Arrowhead as the Chiefs host the Broncos in an AFC West showdown! 🏈 Both teams enter the season with quarterbacks looking to bounce back after season-ending injuries cut their 2025 campaigns short.

Things to watch tonight:
• How do Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix look in their returns?
• Does Travis Kelce still have some juice?
• How will Denver split the RB workload?
• Can Pat Bryant challenge Courtland Sutton for the WR2 role?
• What does the Chiefs’ new-look secondary look like?
• How will Denver’s offense look with OC Davis Webb taking over play-calling duties?

How are we looking in fantasy? Rough weeks for some, zingers for others. Unless Rashee Rice drops an 80-point performance, Ben is headed for an 0-1 start. 😂 Who do you need for your Monday Night Miracle?

The boys are split tonight! Ben and Bush are backing the Red Kingdom, while Charles is looking for some Mile High magic 🪄

Join us Wednesday as we break it all down and look ahead to Week 2!

📅 Flashback Friday - September 11: Football, Unity & Never Forget 🇺🇸

25 years later, it’s hard to put into words what that day meant to our country.

The NFL was one of the things that stopped. Week 2 was postponed, and when football finally returned on September 23, it felt different. The flags were everywhere. First responders were honored. Players wore their emotions on their sleeves. For a few hours, football gave people a chance to come together and feel a little normal again.

One of the moments I’ll always remember came from Patriots offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi. Joe had three brothers who were NYC firefighters. All three responded to the World Trade Center on September 11. When the Patriots returned to the field against the Jets, Joe walked out carrying two American flags, with his brothers and other first responders beside him.

A few weeks later, President George W. Bush walked onto the mound at Yankee Stadium before Game 3 of the World Series wearing an FDNY jacket. When he threw the first pitch, the entire stadium erupted with chants of “USA.”

For a moment, sports weren’t about teams or rivalries. They were about bringing people together. The NFL, MLB and sports leagues across the country honored victims, supported first responders and helped raise money for families who had lost everything. Players visited Ground Zero. Fans filled stadiums waving American flags. The country was hurting, but people were standing together.

Today, we remember the 2,977 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMTs and other first responders who ran toward the danger. We remember the families who never got to bring their loved ones home and the incredible courage shown by so many ordinary people on an extraordinary day.

25 years later, we still remember. We still honor them. And we will never forget. 🇺🇸

FOOTBALL IS BACK! 🏈🔥

Week 1 kicks off tonight in Seattle as the Seahawks host the Patriots in a Super Bowl 60 rematch!

The Patriots have added some firepower at wide receiver with Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown, while Rhamondre Stevenson could be in line for a heavy workload with TreVeyon Henderson ruled out with an ankle injury.

Seattle has undergone some changes of its own following the departures of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker and OC Klint Kubiak. Rookie RB Jadarian Price and new OC Brian Fleury will be part of the new-look Seahawks offense.

One of the biggest matchups to watch tonight features Christian Gonzalez, who just signed an extension that makes him the league’s highest-paid cornerback, going up against Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

The boys are ALL riding with the Seahawks to defend home turf and get it done in front of the 12s!

🚨 New Episode is LIVE! 🚨

FOOTBALL IS BACK! 🏈🔥

Week 1 is here, and the guys are getting you ready for the opening weekend with a full slate of previews, storylines, injuries, new eras, and picks.

The episode kicks off with a Super Bowl rematch between the Patriots and defending champion Seahawks before heading overseas for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia, featuring a massive 49ers-Rams showdown. 🇦🇺

Then it’s on to the rest of the Week 1 slate, with plenty of questions to debate:

Which teams need to avoid a slow start? How will several new coaching eras get off the ground? Can the Texans slow down Josh Allen and Buffalo? Is Green Bay being overlooked against Minnesota? Can Kansas City protect Patrick Mahomes against Denver’s defense?
What should we expect from the big NFC East matchups?

Plus, the weekly picks are back! 🎯

📅 Flashback Friday — September 4: Marino’s Return & Thurman’s Debut 🏈

In 1994, Dan Marino returned to the field after missing most of the previous season with a torn Achilles. In 1988, Thurman Thomas played his first NFL game. Both ended up becoming two of the biggest stars of their generation.

🔥 1994: Marino Is Back

Marino’s 1993 season ended after only five games when he tore his Achilles. Nearly a year later, he returned for Miami’s season opener against New England and looked like he’d never left.

Marino threw for 473 yards and five touchdowns, but he needed every one of them. Patriots rookie Drew Bledsoe threw for 421 yards and four touchdowns as the teams combined for 1,001 total yards and nine passing TDs.

New England led 35–32 in the fourth quarter before Marino found Irving Fryar for a 35-yard touchdown with just over three minutes left. (Side note: Fryar had 5 receptions for 211 yards and 3 TD’s) The Dolphins held on for a wild 39–35 victory.

⚡ 1988: Thurman Thomas’ First Game

Six years earlier, the Bills opened their season against the Vikings, giving second-round rookie Thurman Thomas his first taste of NFL action. Thomas carried the ball 18 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s 13–10 victory.

That 5-yard touchdown run was the first of what would become 88 rushing touchdowns during his Hall of Fame career. Thomas would eventually become the heart of the Bills’ offense, win an MVP, and help Buffalo reach four straight Super Bowls.

So on September 4, we got a little bit of everything: Marino coming back from a devastating injury and immediately putting on a show, and Thomas beginning a career that would eventually land him in Canton.

🚨 Breakout Players Alert! 🚨

The guys have locked in their top 4 names to watch heading into 2026 👀

1️⃣ Josh Downs (Colts) – After a down year in 2025, Downs is set for a bigger role in Indianapolis this season. The Colts have already said they want to expand his usage, and his quickness and ability to work underneath could make him a major part of this offense.

2️⃣ Jihaad Campbell (Eagles) – Campbell made an impact as a rookie, starting 10 games and finishing with 80 tackles, 3 passes defended and an interception. With another year in Vic Fangio’s defense, the former first-round pick has the athleticism and instincts to become one of Philly’s defensive standouts.

3️⃣ Isaiah Likely (Giants) – A fresh start in New York could be exactly what Likely needs to take his game to another level. He brings big-play ability at tight end and now gets a chance to build chemistry with Jaxson Dart while taking advantage of an offense looking for more playmakers.

4️⃣ Blake Corum (Rams) – Corum took a big step forward in Year 2, rushing for 746 yards and 6 touchdowns on just 145 carries. With his explosive running style and Sean McVay’s offense, don’t be surprised if Corum pushes for an even bigger piece of the Rams’ backfield in 2026.
