Derrick Henry is no longer a 'fat ass' and is back to his dominant self

Also Lamar Jackson is good now. He's no longer a fat ass. ... And yeah, Derrick Henry is, I mean he's 87-yard touchdown. I did not think Big D had an 87-yard touchdown still in his bag.

Derrick Henry went on to lead the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2024.

The Ravens are all the way back after dominating the Bills

Looks like the Ravens are all the way back. ... The Ravens ascending back to what we expected preseason after an 0-2 start. ... It's just something about it [the all-black uniforms]. It adds like five points of strength to every player.

The Ravens finished 13-4 and secured the #1 seed in the AFC, proving they were indeed 'back' to elite status.

I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real

I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real. I needed this win for them to take them fully for real. And Sam Darnold, maybe he is just different now.

The Vikings finished the season 12-5 and made the playoffs, proving they were indeed 'for real' despite preseason expectations.

If the season ended today, Sam Darnold would be in the conversation for MVP

Thought experiment. If the season ended today, [Sam Darnold] might not be MVP, but he would be maybe second or third for MVP. ... I think Sam Darnold would be in that conversation.

At the 4-week mark, Darnold led the league in TDs and wins, putting him firmly in the early season MVP conversation.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
