S2: The Greatest Hail Mary of All Time?
As finishes go - it’s hard to find a better one than the one we saw in Arizona & as guests go it’s hard to find a better one to break it down than Iron Mike Carlson! The guys start by getting into the incredible hail mary that won the game for Arizona before breaking down exactly what makes Murray so special & whether the Cardinals need to be taken more seriously. We saw a shock on SNF & Mike tells us why the Ravens offense seems to be struggling before looking at the NFC West & what the Rams win over the Seahawks means for the division. Nat sticks with the NFC & looks at another win for the Saints & a big bounce-back victory for the Bucs. Are the Giants the best team in the NFC Least? Mike answers that question as well as whether or not the Broncos need to worry about Drew Lock. Mike finishes by paying respect to a legend of the game - the late Paul Hornung. 4:00 - ARI/BUF; 17:15 - SNF; 24:45 - LAR/SEA; 30:40 - NO/SF; 38:10 - LAC/MIA; 53:00 - Paul Hornung.
