Mitch Trubisky plays completely differently when he has confidence

I'm going to say about here and now when [Trubisky]'s playing with confidence, different guy. Even his interception was good because he pinned them at the one. His confidence, his decision-making, Matt Nagy's play-calling has been phenomenal in the last two games.

While Trubisky had a great game here, his lack of consistency and overall career trajectory suggest that confidence alone wasn't enough to sustain high-level play.

Lamar Jackson will be the NFL MVP and Joe Burrow will win the Heisman

Lamar Jackson is probably going to be the MVP right? Joe Burrow is likely going to be the Heisman. This I think will be the first year that the Heisman winner would be older than the NFL MVP.

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP and Joe Burrow won the 2019 Heisman. At the time of the awards, Burrow was 23 and Lamar was 22.

Jerry Jones will not fire Jason Garrett this season because they are in first place

He's not going to fire Jason Garrett this season... because they're still in first place and still control their own destiny, you can't fire him.

Garrett coached the full season and was let go after the Cowboys failed to make the playoffs in Week 17.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
