Every week, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar and Luke Easterling of Bucs Wire and Draft Wire get together to discuss the NFL’s most important and pressing issues.
This week, Doug and Luke agree (and disagree) on the following topics:
- More and more NFL players are standing up for their own mental health, speaking out on their bouts with anxiety and depression, and taking in-season breaks when necessary to keep everything together. That they’re doing so with the full support of their coaches and teammates is a remarkable turnaround in the NFL’s tough-guy mentality.
- The Patriots have rattled off five straight wins since their 2-4 start to the season . Mac Jones is playing like the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and New England’s defense is absolutely devastating. Is it time to brace ourselves for yet another Belichick stretch run?
- Of the teams that currently have a sub-.500 record, which are the most dangerous, and capable of making strong late-season runs of their own?
- Both the Broncos and Chiefs followed a specific defensive game plan to shut down Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy spoke of the similarities, but is there now a “blueprint” out there to keep this generally explosive offense in check?
