    Sorting NFL Contenders From Pretenders With the Falcons Leading the Pack | Inside Football Week Five

    Trey Wingo, Cris Carter, Marvin Lewis and Steve Keim sort the NFL's surprise teams into contenders and pretenders, with the Falcons out in front. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get a free $55 when you trade $25. Trey Wingo hosts Inside Football with Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter, longtime Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and longtime Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim. A quarter of the way through the season, the panel looks at the teams that are not playing the way anyone expected and decides which ones can keep it going.Atlanta Falcons: Keim, Lewis and Trey credit Michael Penix for igniting the offense alongside Bijan Robinson. Carter argues it is more about head coach Kevin Stefanski, who he says wins with good quarterback play no matter where he is. Carter calls Atlanta the front runner in the NFC South, and Trey lays out the stretch of schedule he believes will decide how the Falcons are viewed.Cleveland Browns: The panel asks whether Deshaun Watson and head coach Todd Monken can keep it rolling after a Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Keim asks whether there has been a better comeback player in NFL history than Watson. Lewis explains how Monken's time around Lamar Jackson in Baltimore helped with Watson, and Carter says no coach has done a better job through the first quarter of the season.Jacksonville Jaguars: Carter says the football world is about to recognize Jacksonville as one of the most balanced teams in the league and that nobody gives the Jaguars respect. The panel discusses Liam Coen, Trevor Lawrence and Travis Hunter, and Keim asks whether the Tampa Bay Buccaneers let the wrong coach get out of the building.New York Giants: Trey asks how real the Giants are under John Harbaugh. Keim says they are playing physical and smart with their head coach's persona. Carter warns the Giants have a ceiling because of their quarterback situation, and that nothing a coach does can lift it.Minnesota Vikings: The panel looks at a Brian Flores defense carrying the team while the offense finds itself. Keim says Kyler Murray has to play on time and from the pocket for Kevin O'Connell. Carter says the Vikings are a good football team that can be great if the quarterback takes the coaching.Also on the show: Joey Porter Jr. and the Dallas Cowboys, Trey on what the Cowboys defense needs against the Buccaneers, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, the Denver Broncos offense under Sean Payton and Davis Webb, Bryce Young in Carolina, and Keim's concern about the Chargers, Texans and Buccaneers.The question running through the whole show is what separates a real contender from an early-season surprise: the coach, the quarterback or the schedule.

    Marvin Lewis Says Joe Burrow Cannot Save the Bengals Without Better Protection | Inside Football

    Joe Burrow is 1–34 when trailing in the final eight minutes of a game, but former Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis says that record doesn't tell the whole story. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get a free $55 when you trade $25. On Inside Football, Lewis breaks down the problems surrounding Burrow in late-game situations, from an offensive line that has to protect better when defenses know Cincinnati needs to throw to a defense that has struggled to get the stops necessary to give Burrow enough time to complete a comeback. Cris Carter argues that a quarterback with Burrow's talent should be better at closing out games, while Steve Keim explains how pressure can neutralize even the NFL's best quarterbacks. Trey Wingo also provides the other side of the 1–34 record, including Burrow's efficiency in those situations and what went wrong around him against Pittsburgh.

    The Raiders and Vikings Are Undefeated but Cris Carter Is Not Buying It

    The Raiders and Vikings are both undefeated through three weeks. Hall of Famer Cris Carter isn't convinced either record tells the full story. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get $55 when you trade $25. On this week's Inside Football, Trey Wingo, Cris Carter, Marvin Lewis and Steve Keim break down which early-season records actually reflect the teams we're watching and which could start to fall apart as the competition gets tougher. Carter explains why he believes the Raiders could be one of the rare teams to start 3-0 and still miss the playoffs, pointing to their personnel, upcoming schedule and the pressure that could eventually build to turn the offense over to Mendoza. Later, he turns his attention to Minnesota and explains why he doesn't believe the Vikings are a good 3-0 team despite their perfect record. The crew also digs into the Vikings' decision to move on from JJ McCarthy. Carter offers insight from his relationships inside the organization, while Marvin and Steve examine McCarthy's limitations as a passer, his development and whether a change of scenery can revive his career. Plus, the guys discuss Kyle Shanahan keeping the 49ers rolling through injuries, what's gone wrong with Justin Herbert and the Chargers, the NFL's crackdown on celebrations, Joe Burrow's struggles closing games, the Browns' surprising start with Deshaun Watson, Brian Flores' impact on Minnesota and why the Rams are already facing a massive game against Philadelphia.

    Cris Carter Texts Marvin Harrison Jr. Every Week — Here's the Advice

    Marvin Harrison Jr. has one catch for 33 yards on four targets through two games. But Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter has been in his corner every step of the way. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get $25 when you trade $25. On Inside Football, Carter reveals that he's been texting Harrison every week since the preseason and shares the advice he continues to give the young receiver: block out the negative noise, talk yourself up, take ownership of your development and remember that you are a No. 1 guy. Marvin Lewis also shares what he's seen from Harrison behind the scenes, including showing up early and buying his own machine so he can catch another 200 balls every day after practice. The crew explains why Harrison's lack of production isn't necessarily a lack of talent or work, and why Arizona has to find ways to consistently put the football in his hands. Carter also explains why young wide receivers can't develop by simply blocking and watching. If the Cardinals invested in Harrison to become their No. 1 receiver, he believes they need to target him like one and give him the opportunity to prove what he can become. Plus, the Inside Football crew answers what's going wrong with the Chargers after their 0-2 start and whether the Cowboys' inability to stop the run should be their biggest concern with Derrick Henry and the Ravens coming up next.

    Aaron Donald is back in the NFL after nearly three years away, and it didn't take long for him to remind everyone what makes him different. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get $25 when you trade $25. On Inside Football, Trey Wingo, Hall of Famer Cris Carter, longtime NFL head coach Marvin Lewis and former Cardinals GM Steve Keim break down Donald's return and why his impact went far beyond the box score. Donald was consistently drawing double teams, pushing the pocket and creating opportunities for the rest of the Rams defense. Steve explains why being disruptive can matter more than being productive, while Cris says Donald looked “as good as you can look” in his return and remains a true “one of one.” But the real test comes next. The crew explains why Donald's recovery over the next several weeks will be crucial, how Los Angeles should manage his workload and what this Rams defensive front could become when Myles Garrett returns.
