    3 & Out - Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins UPSET Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams on MNF

    John Middlekauff returns after another edition of Monday Night Football between the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa facing off against Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. John discusses how the Los Angeles Rams offense has looked stagnant since their team has gotten relatively healthy and wonders if the Rams are in trouble in the NFC West. Then, Middlekauff explains why this loss was “devastating” for Sean McVay’s squad who now finds themselves behind the 8-ball in a playoff race in the NFC. Despite having Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back the Rams couldn’t figure out how to move the ball against a Dolphins defense that stepped up to the plate on a big Monday night, and now they face an uphill battle heading into the second half of the NFL season. John salutes the Dolphins dynamic weapons in Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane and Tua Tagovailoa for knocking out a 23-15 win and explains why the 3-6 squad is better than their record indicates. Then, another edition of Penthouse/Outhouse featuring Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the hapless New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys and the Port-a-Potty Carolina Panthers. Next, John wonders what current college football coaches, such as Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffin, could jump ship and head to the NFL like Nick Saban, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. Finally, John hits on a few major stories around the NFL. The Chicago Bears' dysfunction starts at the top of the organization. What are the Indianapolis Colts going to do moving forward? New Orleans Saints interim head coach, Darren Rizzi, clogs the toilet and wins a game. Jerry Jones continues his nonsensical ways. 3:23 - MNF Dolphins at Rams reaction 15:57 - NFL Penthouse/Outhouse 25:21 - What college coaches could we see in the NFL? 32:54 - Bears dysfunction starts at the top 42:53 - What are the Colts going to do? 50:23 - Saints interim HC Darren Rizzi clogs a toilet and wins a game 54:43 - Jerry Jones reacts to window drapes comment Follow John on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for the latest.

    3 & Out - Jared Goff & Detroit Lions take down CJ Stroud & Houston Texans in ELECTRIC SNF matchup

    John is back to discuss the thrilling Sunday Night Football tilt between the “team of destiny” Detroit Lions and Houston Texans. Middlekauff salutes Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions for holding on to win 26-23, despite Goff throwing 5 interceptions in a hard-fought battle in Houston, Texas. Middlekauff uses tonight's messy first half to illustrate the Detroit Lions resilience and explains why coming back from being down 23-7 is a testament to the NFC North’s grit and mental toughness and explains why the Lions might be on par with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs this season. John breaks down the Detroit Lions impressive comeback and explains why both teams’ struggling quarterbacks led to a gritty battle in a big game that saw the Detroit Lions move to 8-1 on the season. Then, John explains why the Houston Texans, who burst onto the scene led by rookie QB CJ Stroud last season, seem to have lost the magic that got them into the NFL’s playoffs in 2023. Next, John dives into the state of various “ugly” NFL franchises such as the New York Giants, Caleb Williams & the Chicago Bears, Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets, Dak Prescott & the Dallas Cowboys and several others. Finally, John salutes Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals, and Jim Harbaugh’s Los Angeles Chargers. 5:33 - SNF reaction - Lions at Texans 23:50 - NFL disaster watch 24:50 - Bears are NFL biggest disaster 31:56 - Jerry Jones to blame for Cowboys woes 36:08 - Jags with Mac Jones are a tough watch 38:53 - NFL shout outs Follow John on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for the latest.

    Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down the week 10 Sunday action!
