Warren and Chris examine the trends of the season thus far, including how underdogs have performed and why home field advantage isn’t as significant as it used to be (2:00). Then they discuss the resurgent play of Tua Tagovailoa, who all of a sudden has the Dolphins back in the AFC playoff race (10:00), before wondering what the Bengals’ dominant win over the Steelers means for both teams’ futures (20:00). Plus, breaking down Mac Jones’s play ahead of the Patriots matchup against the Bills (31:00), looking at which teams are best suited for a playoff run (37:00), and previewing MNF (53:00).
