What's up sports fans? Week 5 of the NFL season is in the books. We open up ragging on the Bears (00:35) and the Commanders, take a trip down Devon's worst memory lane (01:25), and set some realistic expectations for some bad NFL teams. We talk a little bit about the importance of Draft position (05:20) and shout out Stefon Diggs and Dak Prescott for outperforming their draft spots. The Bengals shot up our Power Rankings (08:15) after a weekend of Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase dominating like they used to. We tear apart the Patriots dynasty (11:15) and Alex says Bill Belichick won't be back as the head coach after this season (14:39). Devon names the NFL owners he thinks are household names (15:35), and we examine what's going on in Minnesota (18:30) as the Vikings lost Justin Jefferson to Injured Reserve. We give the Buccaneers some credit for shocking the world through five weeks (22:40) and look at the likelihood of the Lions winning the NFC North. We not-quite (but almost) name TJ Watt the DPOY (29:40), especially given his dislocated finger horror. After a month of questions, we start pushing the Brock Purdy MVP Train (32:20) down the tracks; the dude is legit. Plus, are the Niners good enough to have the MVP and OPOY (36:30)? We even compare the Greatest Show on Turf (38:01) to the 2023 Miami \"Juggernaut' Dolphins. We talk about the inability of the Jaguars and Bills to put together back-to-back weeks of dominance, and give credit to CJ Stroud for outplaying every expectation of a rookie QB. On the way out, we call out the Chiefs (42:30) for a lack of receiving talent outside of Travis Kelce, and Alex casually offers his Top 3 all-time tight ends (43:50). Finally, we talk about the Hackett Revenge Tour in Denver as the Jets beat the Broncos and rip through our Power Rankings (49:20) to close out the week.
