THE HERD – HOUR 1 – Broncos Finding A Way To Win | Seahawks Fall Again | College Football Playoff Expansion
Summary
Colin Cowherd and J-Mac analyze the Denver Broncos' bizarre 15-2 record in one-score games, attributing their success to elite defense rather than Bo Nix's lack of downfield passing. They critique the Seattle Seahawks' offensive collapse without a running game, arguing Sam Darnold's struggles stem from systemic issues rather than individual error. The discussion shifts to the Milwaukee Brewers' World Series run, the Kansas City Chiefs' reliance on Kenneth Walker, and the potential of a 24-team college football playoff.
