1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody? It's Friday the thirteenth. Are you superstitious? 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: I'm never really superstitious. Some people are either way. Happy 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth. I'm Will Salva And these are your 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: good morning football headlines from NFL Network. And you happen 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: to catch that Colts Titans game. It looked like it 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: was going to be all Titans and that they were 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: going to cruise in this one. They kicked up Week 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: ten in Nashville last night, Tennessee jumping out to a 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: seventeen thirteen halftime lead, but twenty one unanswered second half 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: points by Indie helped the Colts win thirty four to seventeen. 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: The Titans Derek Henry rushed for one hundred and three 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: yards and Colts quarterback Philip Rivers through for three hundred 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: and eight yards and a touchdown. And of course he 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: was happy with this team's performance. We're just a team 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: that continue to get better and all the teams I've 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: been a part of it, just being around the league 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: for a long time. The teams that are playing the 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: best in November December are the ones that get to 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: play in January, and well, you hope to play in February. 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: So we just got to continue to improve, but we 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: need to win along the way. And this is a 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: huge game. Every game's huge the rest of the way out. 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: And I love these Thursday night games, especially after a win, 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: you get that mini bye and then we get to 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: regroup and get ready for Green Bay. So Indy now 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: takes over first place in the AFC South as these 27 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: division rivals have a rematch in sixteen days. Cannot wait, 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: all right, So now looking ahead to Sunday Night football, 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: it should be an interesting matchup to say the least, 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: as New England plays host to Baltimore. Here's the reason why. 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's two thousand, three hundred seventy rushing yards are 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: the most back quarterback in his first three seasons in 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: NFL history, breaking the record held previously by none other 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: than Cam Newton. Earlier this week, Jackson called Cam, who 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: also is a former NFL Most Valuable Player, by the way, 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: the og superman. Yesterday it was Newton seeing the praises 37 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: of Jackson. Man, my boy, Lamar gotta get not many 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: human beings gat and just to see him take off. 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: You know, I'm all I'm a fan of the game. 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: And if I'm watching Baltimore, obviously I'm watching, you know, 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: to see what the MVP. You know what I'm saying 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna do. So um, you know, I just respect 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: his game so much. For him to be as successful 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: and to make the impact, the big splashing in in 45 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: this game, you know, not many people have done it, 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, I say, Michael Vick, I say Lamar, you 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: know I you know, I don't even think I'm in 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: that in that in that stratosphere. Yeah, nothing but love 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: between those two. And meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger remains on the 50 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: reserve COVID nineteen lists after being a close contact advance MacDonald, 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: but he's still tracking to play Sunday. Roethlisberger will go 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: if if he continues to test negative and doesn't develop 53 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: any symptoms. Pittsburgh, the league's last unbeen teamed, plays host 54 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati on Sunday. All right, so let's stay in 55 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: the AFC South because we have an update on Nick Chubb. 56 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: The Browns are likely to make a decision on the 57 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: running back for a potential return Sunday against the Texans. 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Cheff has been on injury reserve since Week four with 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: an MCL injury. Rams quarterback Jared Goff is looking forward 60 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: to bouncing back from his four turnover performance in a 61 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: twenty eighth seventeen loss to the Dolphins when the five 62 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: and three Rams host the six and two Seahawks. This 63 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: is a massive divisional matchup, and Goff knows it too. 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: He's eleventh in the NFL and passing yards in the 65 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: NFC West leading Hawks have the NFL's worst pass defense, 66 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: so on paper, he should have the chance to improve 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: those stats on Sunday. The Seahawks, Saints, and Packers all 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: have identical six and two records, time for the best 69 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: mark in the NFC. It's anybody's gayz who will represent 70 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: the conference in Super Bowl fifty five. But we did 71 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: learn some pretty big news about the big game yesterday 72 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the NFL Pepsi in Rock Nation announcing that international phenomenon 73 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: and Grammy Award winning artist The Weekend will be headlining 74 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: the Pepsi Super Bowl fifty five halftime show in Tampa 75 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: on February seventh.
