Week 6 recap: Rams down bad, Texans & Jaguars put on a show, Caleb Williams returns with a bang
Summary
Hosts Robert Mays, Dave, and Derek analyze the Week 6 NFL slate, starting with a critique of the Packers-Cowboys game. They praise Green Bay’s defensive surge under Jonathan Gannon while expressing frustration over Dallas’s offensive volatility and poor protection against blitzes. The discussion shifts to the Los Angeles Rams, who are removed from the show’s "Super Bowl contender" table after a shocking loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The hosts debate the Rams’ identity crisis, Matthew Stafford’s struggles, and whether the New England Patriots or Houston Texans should replace them on the list.
