Kevin Clark recaps everything from Week 9 in the NFL.
What is the biggest thing that's changed about your team in the last year? For the Eagles, it starts with Saquon Barkley changing the franchise and the team not making the same mistake two years in a row. For the Jaguars, nothing changed.
For the Packers, Jordan Love is turning the ball over - something he wasn't doing in the second half of last season. For the Lions, everything has changed. You have to play perfectly to beat them and Jared Goff completes more passes than anyone.
For the Ravens, Derrick Henry continues to get chunk play after chunk play and force missed tackles.
For the Rams, they replaced Aaron Donald with young defensive players who are now coming into their own.
For the Bears, they're going to regret the lost chances they've had so far because their schedule is about to be rough.
For the Chargers, they're defensive coaching has been significantly better without any change in player personnel.
For the Commanders, literally everything has changed. And it's real.
For the Patriots, Drake Maye looks like the guy.
For the Bills, they're finding different ways to win.
For the Cowboys, Dak gets hurt. Does that make the team sellers?

Kevin Clark recaps Week 7 in the NFL.
Sunday Night Football's matchup between the Jets and Steelers seemed like two teams going in opposite directions. The Steelers showcased why Mike Tomlin wins a lot of games - he took two quarterbacks the league didn't want and tried both out to see what works best. Aaron Rodgers, meanwhile, is not good enough to overcome the systematic failures of the New York Jets franchise.
What does the national media get wrong about your team? We asked, you answered, including whether the Chiefs are still centered around Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, whether the QB situation even matters in Pittsburgh, whether Cowboys fans are actually aware of what's going on with their team, whether the Lions defense is underrated, whether Bobby Slowik is overrated and whether Joe Schoen deserves more criticism.

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 6 of the NFL. He points out that NFL team owners are the most important people in the league. A good quarterback can't make an owner... but an owner can destroy a good QB.
The Cleveland Browns are the biggest example of this - they're afraid they're going to look stupid over the Deshaun Watson trade... but Kevin points out that they already do.
How much longer does Mike McCarthy have left in Dallas? What should be made of Nick Sirianni's behavior after Sunday's win over the Browns? What does every team's fanbase think of their owner? That and more on This Is Football!

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 5 and asks why there aren't any good coaches in the NFL anymore.
Starting in London with the Jets & Vikings... Aaron Rodgers is not washed. So where does this Jets team go from here? He can't do enough to make them a legitimate AFC contender.
The Browns have way too much invested in Deshaun Watson to bench him.
The Bengals are the worst good team - they're like the weird younger brother of the Dallas Cowboys. They both draft really well but neither maximizes their roster.
Sean McDermott? Not pre-fired.

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 4 in the NFL.
Jayden Daniels is this year's C.J. Stroud. He is legitimately good. Caleb Williams is also good... but Kevin would still be sick if he was a Bears fan.
Bo Nix needs more work than we thought and so do the Jets. Aaron Rodgers didn't love Robert Saleh's postgame comments and needs to do a lot to make up for the deficiencies of the team. Jets fans deserve better.
Anthony Richardson should be blunt with Shane Steichen and advocate for his own health. The vibes in Jacksonville are awful and Trevor Lawrence has lost all his confidence. Caleb Williams won, which is a good thing because we don't want to have the Bryce Young conversation two years in a row.
Plus - what was the biggest mistake your team made this year? (Chiefs fans are no longer allowed to answer this question)
