Show Notes

In this episode, Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe, and Jeff Saturday debate if the Jets' loss to the 49ers last night was more about San Francisco's dominance or New York's poor performance. Plus, we disagree on which team showed out the most in Week 1. Paul Finebaum is here to tell us if Notre Dame's playoff chances are over after losing to Northern Illinois and if Shedeur Sanders was wrong to leave the field early in Colorado's loss to Nebraska.
