This week's show starts with a discussion of the Yannick Ngakoue trade, then we take on the biggest games of the week: Titans-Steelers, Seahawks-Cardinals, and Bears-Rams.

It seems like it was just a couple months ago that the Vikings were trading for disgruntled Jacksonville defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. Actually, it was just a couple months ago! Now at 1-5, the Vikings are throwing a white flag on the season and Ngakoue is the first veteran being dealt away.

Tampa Bay takes a huge lead in DVOA with a huge win over Green Bay, the biggest single game of the season. And on the other side of the ledger, the Jets are far behind the rest of the league.

Big news out of Miami, where Adam Schefter reports that Miami will be benching Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of rookie Tua Tagovailoa after their Week 7 bye. I never would have expected to say this before the season, but... this is a mistake.

This week's show starts off with a discussion of Tuesday Night Football, then our game previews include Kansas City-Buffalo, Green Bay-Tampa Bay, and Cleveland-Pittsburgh. (Click for audio link.)

A ton of surprising data in here. The Patriots have struggled in pass coverage this year. The Miami defense is great on third downs. The Denver offensive line is struggling. The New York Jets are actually good at something!

It's a weird week with some scrambled DVOA ratings. Minnesota and Houston rank among the best 1-4 teams we've ever measured, while Chicago and (sort of) Cleveland are among the worst 4-1 teams.

According to Jeff Schultz of The Athletic, the Falcons will fire Dan Quinn tomorrow after Atlanta lost to Carolina today to start the season 0-5.

The Patriots-Broncos game that was rescheduled for Monday is now re-rescheduled for next Sunday after the Patriots had another positive COVID test on Sunday morning. That means the Dolphins-Broncos game that was scheduled for Week 6 is going to have to be rescheduled.

Our Week 5 show begins with a discussion of the Tennessee Titans COVID situation, then we preview big games from Week 5 including Indianapolis-Cleveland, Las Vegas-Kansas City, and Dallas against the New York Giants. (Click for audio link.)
