  • A look at Aaron Rodgers' surprising performance, where he threw four touchdowns against his former team, the New York Jets.

  • Discussion on the Cleveland Browns' dominant defensive performance against the Bengals, allowing only seven net yards of total offense in the second half but still losing the game.

  • An analysis of why the Chiefs' secondary is a "major concern", with breakdowns of miscommunications and busted coverage rotations.

  • A Coach's Corner schematic deep dive, including how the Packers' defense dismantled the Lions' offense and the “new” blitz packages the Colts' defense used against Miami.
