About the episode

Max Kellerman and Ringer staff writer Anthony Dabbundo break down a wild Thursday night. Sean Payton keeps it balanced, protects the ball, and takes down the defending champs, while Seattle’s two-to-one pass-heavy attack falls apart when it matters most. Meanwhile, the QB landscape is a mess. Jalen Hurts is out with a blood clot, Caleb Williams is limping on a torn hamstring, and Justin Herbert, once the next big thing, is starting to look a lot like Kirk Cousins. Then, the small-market Brewers sweep the Dodgers with a fearless bullpen and bats nobody feared. Ohtani’s October questions get louder, and the owners have a problem: “Small markets can’t compete” just took a beating.
