Summary: NFL Weeks 2 & 3 Recap (Speaker: RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik) (01:17) Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers' defense, led by T.J. Watt, dominated through turnovers and pressure. Fezzik upgraded Pittsburgh after initially betting under 8.5 wins. Defense remains key as they won despite being outgained by Denver. (03:19) Quarterback Play: RJ discussed the declining quality of NFL quarterbacks compared to the era of Brady and Rodgers. Only Mahomes consistently delivers, while Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence have struggled, especially with third-down conversions. (10:25) Baltimore Ravens: Despite leading the league in yards per play (6.0), turnovers and poor late-game execution plagued the Ravens. Lamar Jackson's offensive line issues contributed to his inconsistency, and Fezzik downgraded them by half a point. (22:34) Denver Broncos: Although Denver outgained opponents, they failed to win due to turnovers and poor execution. Russell Wilson's flashes of brilliance weren't enough, as Fezzik pointed out their yardage success was misleading.

Fezzik criticized the decision, calling it "a fireable offense," as Atlanta capitalized to win. (59:28) San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy’s Week 3 was a rollercoaster. Despite strong stats (319 yards), late-game fumbles and interceptions cost the 49ers. Fezzik questioned Purdy’s ability to handle pressure. (16:44) Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes pulled off a critical 4th-and-16 conversion, leading to another clutch win. Fezzik emphasized Mahomes’ unmatched ability to capitalize on mistakes, setting him apart as the best quarterback. (47:08) Carolina Panthers: Carolina’s reliance on analytics failed as they converted only 25% of 4th-down attempts in Week 3. Fezzik criticized their aggressive play-calling, pointing out their offense isn't equipped to execute such plays. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
