Darnell Washington was 'a menace' in the Steelers' win over the Browns, recording 3 catches for 94 yards. The source notes he is listed at 265 pounds but actually weighs 311 pounds minimum, suggesting his physical dominance may be underestimated.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

PositiveRole3:40

Insight page
PositiveRole16:43

Gardner Minshew has been named the starting quarterback for Arizona by Mike LaFleur after a strong fourth quarter performance; he is now the starter, with Jacoby Brissett demoted to QB three. The source notes Minshew magic is not necessarily sustainable but he is the guy at least for now.

Insight page

Jacoby Brissett

NegativeRole5:09

Jacoby Brissett just got benched, making him potentially available as a trade option for teams like the Ravens looking to upgrade their quarterback situation.

Insight page
NegativeDepth Chart10:14

Insight page

Joe Fagnano

NegativeRole1:45

Joe Fagnano, a seven-year college player out of Maine and UConn, is expected to be the Ravens' starting quarterback if Snoop Huntley cannot play Thursday. Fagnano himself is dealing with injuries after the Bills beat up the Ravens.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveUsage4:15

Rookie running back Jonah Coleman scored a touchdown in the Broncos' Week 8 comeback win over the Chiefs; he capped a 51-yard run with a goal-line touchdown at the two-minute warning, demonstrating involvement in critical late-game situations.

Insight page

Insight page

Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray is dealing with a hamstring injury and did not look like himself at the end of the game; Kevin O'Connell confirmed the hamstring issue. Murray will have time to rest before Monday night against the Bills.

Insight page
NegativeProjection12:35

In a small sample size of six starts for Minnesota, Kyler Murray has been part of the problem with the offense; he threw for 413 yards with 51 of 200 yards coming on one play, indicating inconsistent production. The source notes Murray has to improve and get on the same page with Kevin O'Connell's play calling, though the offensive issues extend beyond the quarterback to the run game.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

NegativeInjury0:51

Lamar Jackson has not had thumb surgery yet and it is not yet known if he will be out for the season. The Ravens are 4-4 and in last place in the AFC North; without Lamar and without Snoop Huntley for a couple of weeks, some believe the season is over for Baltimore.

0:08Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak November.
0:11Is it already over for the Ravens? We have the latest on Lamar Jackson's thumb injury.
0:16Meantime, is there a better answer in Minnesota than Kyler Murray?
0:20Bucky Brooks doesn't think so. I disagree. The latest on the Vikings quarterback conundrum and we have a Monday night preview.
0:26For as good a game as we have seen this week, maybe?
0:30It's next on the NFL Report. That game is the Bears and the Seahawks in Seattle.
0:35That is a doozy. Bucky Brooks is here for your Ben Johnson, Mike McDonald preview coming up in a second.
0:42Hi there. NFL: The Insiders presented by Nationwide. My name is Andrew Siciliano.
0:46Monday, a lot of injuries. Let's get what's news to me, our latest headlines.
0:51And the big one is out of Baltimore here.
0:53Lamar Jackson has not had thumb surgery yet. Do not yet know if he's going to be out for the season.
1:00But moments ago, Jesse Minter says it doesn't look like Snoop Huntley can play Thursday.
1:05Yes, they play Thursday against the Jaguars. And it means that in all likelihood, the rookie quarterback, the seven year college kid
1:12out of Maine and UConn who finished up yesterday.
1:15Joe Fagnano is going to be the quarterback. He has a chance to play because he too, dealing with some injuries.
1:22Bills beat him up a little bit. Bills beat the Ravens.
1:25Ravens now four and four. Here's the schedule. Jaguars on a short week.
1:30Bucky's going to be there. Then it's the winless chargers.
1:33The Panthers and Texans in no way out of it fighting for playoff spots.
1:37Then the by then the bucks. You get my point.
1:40A lot of AFC North game second half of the year.
1:44For now, Bucky, the Ravens are in fourth in last in the hyper competitive AFC North.
1:49If they don't have Lamar and they don't have Huntley for a couple of weeks, man, there are some who think it's over.
1:57It's curtains. So the topic bar here is going to ask, is it over for the Ravens?
2:02Bucky is not over, but it's really bleak. You said that with a smile on your face.
2:08I mean, it's not over, but it's really bleak.
2:10I mean, look, the coach in me says that there's always a way for them to win games.
2:16And I think the way that they will have to win.
2:20Jesse mentor is going to have to lean on his defense to be able to get it done.
2:26And so offensively, this means a lot of Derrick Henry, a lot of ground and pound, find ways to get Zay flowers
2:33the ball on quicks and screens and those things.
2:36Try to minimize the role that Joey Fanano has to play and then lean on Cal Hamilton and company to get this done.
2:43Remember coming into the season, Jesse mentor was partially hired because of his defensive prowess.
2:48Well, Jesse, we're going to need you to find a way to make this defense play at a high level.
2:54So it's bleak. It doesn't look good, but it's not over if they can play the right way.
3:00It's just going to be on Jesse mentor and this defense to really lead them on a run if they're going to make a run this season.
3:09All right. A lot of people go, well, make a move, Eric DaCosta.
3:13Jacoby Brissett just got benched. I'm sure even though Kirk Cousins had a great game, the Raiders would listen if you made a call.
3:21I have a crazy one. I'd call for Kyler Murray, but you think I'm insane.
3:25Like, shouldn't they try to do something here? Well, I mean, I think a lot of it depends on Snoop Hundley and
3:33how long he will be out if he's out at all.
3:36Here's the thing. All the quarterbacks that are available that could be on the street or whatever.
3:42Like, I don't know if they can be an upgrade over their current situation with Declan Doyle.
3:47The only ones that you could go to would be someone that is affiliated with the Bears.
3:52Tyler Bajan, maybe Case Keenum. That's the only way because you have to get up to speed and learn this offense.
3:59And you posted the schedule. The schedule is hard.
4:02How quickly can a new quarterback get up and running?
4:05I think they're probably best to stay the course unless it's absolutely critical that you only have Joe Parnano and then you've
4:12got to figure out a way to kind of go somewhere else.
4:16Yeah. Tyler Bajon's not playing for the Jaguars. I'm sorry, for the Ravens against the Jaguars on Thursday.
4:22He's in uniform right now in Seattle for the Bears.
4:25We'll get to that game come up in a second.
4:29Bucky stayed right there. Let's get to the highlights.
4:31What a week eight it was. All of these great divisional games, including the one in the late window between the Chiefs and the Broncos.
4:40Bo Nix did it again. That is a fourth quarter comeback here.
4:43It's Nate Atkins. They get the two point conversion.
4:46That was a fourth down touchdown. They get the two pointer to waddle and we've got a game and the Chiefs are up by only three.
4:55And then Jonah Coleman, the rookie, gets in the end zone.
4:58This one play after a 51 yard run where he gets him down to the five.
5:03And that's at the two minute warning. But Patrick Mahomes would drive him down the field.
5:08Fourth down. Final play of the game. It came down to the final play.
5:13Malcolm Roach gets the sack. You can't lateral it till a lineman.
5:17Denver is in first. The Broncos are six and two.
5:20The Chiefs are five and two. And Kansas City loses back to back games.
5:25Bo Nix found a way to do it again.
5:27Update. All right. This is the most important news to come out of the Lions and Vikings game.
5:33The fact that today the Lions gave a somewhat positive update here on Jack Campbell.
5:38Scary injury taken to the hospital on a stretcher.
5:41Preliminary indications are positive. The Lions say it is a neck injury, but they're not going to give any more information than that.
5:48It is a vague update, but the Lions are calling it a positive update.
5:53So we'll cross our fingers and take it from there.
5:56The actual game itself at Kyler Murray and the Vikings trying to stay undefeated.
6:01They're on the road. They're in Detroit. Vikings had only nine offensive touchdowns all year coming into the game.
6:07This is a close game of the third quarter when Jameer Gibbs goes off 30 yard touchdown run.
6:13They go for two. They don't get the two.
6:15Gibbs ran for a buck fifty three. Great offense against great defense and a little bit of offense here for Kyler.
6:22He hits TJ Hockinson for the touchdown. Minnesota leads 15 to 12.
6:26But Jared Goff made plays all day and here with four and a half to go.
6:31He hits Jamison Williams touched in the back of the end zone.
6:35Get the feet down and the Lions take a lead and the Lions have now won three consecutive games and they are
6:42two and oh in division and the Vikings finally lose.
6:45It's all team effort, man. But I'm telling you what, you play different games every week by the opponents, man.
6:52And we did exactly what we had to do.
6:55You guys just hung in there. That's a gritty win, man.
6:58That's a gritty win. Like that's one of those deep playoff wins, man.
7:02Right? You get late in the season, you hit the playoffs.
7:06You got to have some to you, man. Intestinal fortitude to win that.
7:10We're going to take a knee. I want to pray for Jack.
7:14Okay? And let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
7:17That's a hell of a win, man. You guys break it down.
7:21Hey, Ruffy boys, stick together. I know that's tough with Jack.
7:25Stick together, lean on each other, alright? Good job.
7:28Win on three, one, two, three. Win! So the Lions go to Miami now and the Vikings are home on Monday night against the Bills.
7:36So they have a little bit of time here for Kyler Murray to rest that hammy.
7:41He did not look like himself at the end of the game yesterday.
7:45Kevin O'Connell confirms he is dealing with a hamstring.
7:48There are some Bucky Brooks who would argue that in a very small sample size, Carson Wentz moves this offense better.
7:55Kyler, 413 down the field yesterday. 51 of his 200 yards came on one play.
7:59Would you ever consider doing that? Would you consider him down?
8:03I mean, look, that's been the word. There's been a lot of conversation about Kyler Murray and this offense.
8:09But I'll say, look, he's only started six games for the Minnesota Vikings.
8:13And this offense hasn't been perfect. But I would say Kyler Murray's been part of the problem.
8:19But I would say the run game or lack thereof has also been a problem.
8:24So if you're Kevin O'Connell, what you're looking to see is how far can we go with this offense playing like this?
8:31Our defense is terrific. Our defense gives us a chance each and every week.
8:35And even though I want to dial it back to be able to complement what we do defensively, we have to get more.
8:43Is it fixable? Yes. But Kyler Murray has to improve.
8:46Kevin O'Connell has to improve with the play calling.
8:49They have to figure out how to get on the same page.
8:53But right now, it certainly doesn't look great. But I'll say this about Carson Wentz.
8:57Carson Wentz had a flash early in the year when he jumped in.
9:02I think the Green Bay game when he came back.
9:05But the next game, he wasn't great either. So this offense is a big problem.
9:10And that problem extends beyond the quarterback. They got to figure out how to score more points.
9:15All right. So Carson Wentz, let me translate here.
9:18Sounds like to you, Bucky, the proverbial guy who can get you through a couple of weeks.
9:24But let's keep it at that. Oh, for sure.
9:26And many... I'm not the only one. There have been a million teams that have told us that.
9:32That he's a guy that is just a stopgat of filling.
9:36He's a middle reliever. We don't want him pitching too long.
9:39We don't want him closing games out late. We just kind of need him on the roster to come out of the bullpen every now and then.
9:48Okay. Well, you know, I mean, there are teams that try to win World Series with bullpen games sometimes.
9:54It's not necessarily sustainable. I hear you. Bucky, stay right there.
9:58We are far from done. Let's get back to more news, including in Arizona where no surprise today.
10:03Mike LaFleur named Gardner Minshew his starting quarterback. What a fourth quarter Minshew had yesterday.
10:08The Minshew magic. Some would argue also not sustainable, but he is the guy at least for now.
10:14And Jacoby Brissett has been bounced all the way down to QB three.
10:18He'll be the emergency quarterback. Obviously, I mean, I think he kind of showed all of us in terms of him going
10:25out there being the competitor that he is. Doesn't shock me, obviously.
10:29I mean, the production was pretty wild in terms of the amount of points and just moving up and down the field.
10:36But, you know, he's a competitor and he's always prepared.
10:40He's preparing like he's the starter. He's preparing like he's going to be in there for whatever snap he's a...
10:46He he supported Jacoby at a high level, too.
10:49He's been a great backup for him. Been great for the room and look forward to, you know, the challenge that we have this week with him.
10:58Rookie Carson Beck will be number two next Sunday in Seattle.
11:01Meantime in Indianapolis, Shane Steichen says Daniel Jones will remain his starting quarterback.
11:05Bucky was there when the Colts got destroyed by the Jaguars yesterday.
11:09Jones eventually benched Anthony Richardson, got the game his first action since the eye injury.
11:14A year ago. But Daniel Jones is still the guy for now in Indianapolis.
11:18Moving on back to the highlights here. Big AFC North game.
11:22Browns, Steelers. Browns had lost 22 consecutive regular season games in Pittsburgh.
11:26It's now 23. They could have made it a one score game going into the half.
11:31But the Steelers got the ball back with 45 seconds to go.
11:35Bad tackling. Steelers go down the field in the Pat Friermuth.
11:38The eighth tush push with 300 pounder Darnell Washington pushing behind.
11:42Why do I mention Darnell Washington? Because he was a menace.
11:46Three for 94. Again, he's listed at 265. If he's 265, I'm six foot five.
11:50He is 311 pounds at a minimum. That's what he admitted on a podcast last year.
11:56Jalen Warren, 143 yards rushing. The Steelers go to six and two.
11:59They take control of the AFC North at a bye.
12:03They have won four consecutive games. Browns fall to five and three.
12:06This game was wild. Titans, Bengals. What a day for Joe Burrow.
12:10What if I told you he had six total touchdowns?
12:14Five through the air. One on the ground. Here is one of the five through the air with a buck 17 to go.
12:21It tied the game. Touchdown to T Higgins, who had 155 yards receiving.
12:25We go to overtime when Cam Ward, you could argue, mismanaged the end of regulation, even though he had a great game.
12:32Burrow runs for a touchdown. He threw three picks all to Amani Hooker.
12:36But right there, the Bengals have the lead. And then Cam Ward, fourth down.
12:41Nope. Can't connect. And that is it. That is the game.
12:44Robert Sala and the Titans come oh so close.
12:47Play a great game on the road, but cannot finish.
12:51And this is what your AFC North looks like.
12:53Steelers, a top with a two and one division record.
12:57And they head to the bye. Bengals, five and two.
13:00Browns go to New Orleans this week. The Ravens play on Thursday.
13:04By the way, the Bengals go to Madrid to play the Falcons.
13:08We are back in Europe. We collectively as a league.
13:11Let's get to the Thursday night game. Zach Charbonnet activated.
13:14He is on the field now for the very first time since last year's ACL injury down the stretch.
13:20And Jadarian Price is on the field as well.
13:23The rookie running back. The first round pick activated off injured reserve.
13:27Look mom. One hand for Jackson Smith in Jigba.
13:30As the weather starting to feel like fall, isn't it?
13:33Caleb Williams, however. No, it's Jeffrey Simmons, isn't it?
13:36I have a very small monitor out here. Jeffrey Simmons in his first Bears action.
13:41Will he wear orange sleeves tonight? That's the question.
13:44Also, the question, Bucky Brooks is who wins. And if you're a tape head, if you're an X's and O's geek, this fascinating matchup tonight.
13:52Mike McDonald, Ben Johnson. First time they have gone head to head as head coaches.
13:57What gives? Yeah, this is a this is a great one to watch.
14:01And I think Ben Johnson is the creativity is the way he mixes pizazz and physicality.
14:06They're going to run the football. They're going to run it at you.
14:10They're going to throw the clock. But then he's going to have enough creative and trick plays to kind of keep you guessing from a defensive standpoint.
14:19What he has done with this offense, particularly with Caleb Williams, he has made it efficient, but explosive.
14:25Mike McDonald, on the other hand, he does a great job of playing too high safeties, nickel personnel, trying to find different ways to send people on blisses.
14:34While really maintaining an umbrella over top of the defense.
14:37So for Caleb Williams, he is going to have to be disciplined and patient and take the shots that are available.
14:44But there won't be many shots available to me.
14:46This is a push. I have no idea who has the edge because both teams are talented.
14:52But if I have to lean, I'm a lean towards the Seahawks just because that defense gives them a bit of an edge.
14:59Bears number one rush offense in the NFL, 154 yards a game.
15:03The number three total offense in the NFL. No Kyle Madunga, however, it's DeAndre Swift as RB1 again tonight as Madunga is
15:10going to miss yet another game with the toe injury.
15:14Bucky Brooks, everybody. Thank you kindly. You're watching the NFL: The Insiders.
15:17I ask every day, do you have NFL plus premium yet?
15:21And the answer should be yes. If it isn't, my question will be why not?
15:26You get NFL red zone every Sunday, you get the game replays.
15:30You could track advanced analytics powered by next gen stats with NFL pro sign up today at plus dot NFL dot com slash fast terms and conditions apply.
15:39They always apply. Scott Hanson. Hi, I'm Andrew. When you get it, when you get your NFL plus and you watch red
15:46zone, you can see firsts every week. Yeah. Week eight.
15:49We had a lot of fun firsts. Absolutely. How about the Bucket ears game is not one that made a lot of
15:56the highlight shows, not in the a block and the first segments of the highlight shows that game torrential downpour in Tampa, the lightning capital of North America.
16:05They didn't have any lightning, thankfully, but they had so much rain.
16:09The Bucks win the game without completing a pass that we're going to show you all of Baker Mayfield's pass attempts there.
16:16That one went to the end zone incomplete. This one goes to the end zone.
16:21Nobody home. And then they said, you know what?
16:24The wet stuff's coming down. Maybe we just stop even throwing it.
16:28Although he did complete that right there, which is a lateral back, not a pass.
16:32And then Jesse Bates with one of the defensive plays of the year there to punch it free.
16:38At the goal line, the old touchback. Everybody hates that rule and whatnot.
16:42But the Bucks win with zero completions. First team to do that since the 1974 Buffalo Bills.
16:48Put it in a time capsule. It only happens once every 50 years.
16:52So that game happened that you mentioned September 29 of 1974.
16:56I was exactly one month old to the day.
16:59Looked it up. I also love and this is not an anti Baker take.
17:03I promise you. I like Baker. But that Mayfield has beaten the Panthers and Kevin Stefanski in back to back weeks and done so with like 11 completions.
17:12Does he keep track of those things? I always forget.
17:15Yeah, no, he does it. Bygones be bygones. So back to back revenge or two and oh, you'll take two and oh, but with 11 completions.
17:24Yeah, there you go. There's but that Bucks run game, bro.
17:27Insane franchise record yesterday. 324 yards. Bucky Irving goes for a buck 70.
17:31Kenny G Kenny Gainwell. Gainwell that is with 100 and we Kenny G got 140 yards.
17:37Bucks Brown game is for real defense made enough plays there.
17:40Atlanta's got some things to fix one of the most fun games in our fun facts and fun firsts game the Raiders
17:47and the Jets and it also kick return. Finally first finally turn for a touch when they change the kick rules.
17:54I don't know how you feel out there, but I thought this is going to lead to some explosive plays.
18:00You've got the guys the guys that are coming down on the pursuit are so close to the blockers.
18:06There are going to be lanes to exploit and you know who's exploiting them better than almost anyone these days.
18:13That guy right there Dylan Lauby the kick returner for the Las Vegas Raiders with the first kick return of the touch
18:20of the year for a touchdown 95 yards. He goes on this one guys a sixth round pick out of New Hampshire from a couple years ago.
18:29He's the first Raider since 2011 to have a kick return for a touchdown Jacoby Ford remember the old speedster Clemson Tiger.
18:36Yes, he was like a 4 3 guy that you know Al Davis would have loved to have drafted there.
18:42And how about this one for Lobby as well.
18:45He's a Long Island native. So playing right across the river there at MetLife Stadium had a ton of fans and friends
18:52in the stands to watch him go 95 and house it for the first time anyone tip of the captain Jason Horowitz
18:59as well voice of the Raiders who had it in his bag.
19:03They didn't have one in 15 years as soon as he gets across.
19:07Yeah, it was sure team game recognizes game when it comes to those guys.
19:12Absolutely. I got you right there. Also Joe Burrow had one of those ridiculous like my my 12 year old nephew playing
19:19Madden because he played kind of games for the Bengals.
19:22Yeah, first time ever. He's accounted for six touchdowns in his tremendous career so far.
19:27But this was a Burrow boffo type of a day against the Tennessee Titans who people thought up they're folding up the lawn chairs right now.
19:35No Jeffrey Simmons that defense is just going to be absolutely collapsing all over the place.
19:40Well, he threw for five. He ran for one, but he also threw three interceptions.
19:45It was a all the Amani hooker although Amani hooker.
19:49It was a Jameis plus type of a game right here.
19:52And you know the good thing for Burrow and the Bengals.
19:56They had that stigma of oh, they trail in the fourth quarter.
19:59That's it. Bengals don't come back. Burrow does not come back late in the fourth quarter.
20:05He did game time touchdown with a minute and 17 seconds.
20:08This was the game winning touchdown eventually in overtime.
20:11The scramble right there Cincinnati's five and two. I don't know we think about an overtime win over Tennessee, but they are
20:18five and two in the best division in the AFC.
20:21A win is a win is a cam war taking a 20 yard sack when you could have had a Joey slice
20:2864 yard field goal attempt at the end of the game.
20:32But it's a win. True. It's absolutely Scott Hanson.
20:35Everybody good to see Andrew likewise. You're watching the NFL report great event here in LA this past week with the Chargers.
20:42They call it boo at the bolt do it every year.
20:46It's a Halloween celebration for kids impacting cancer. It's a tradition that gives those kids a safe and supportive place the kids and their families as well.
20:54Some holiday fun bunch of chargers as you could see players taking part and spending time with kids and their families.
21:01Good stuff here in Los Angeles. All right back to the highlights.
21:05Maybe not good stuff for the Cowboys Cardinals Cowboys.
21:08The Cardinals own the Cowboys in Dallas. You laugh all you want, but they really do.
21:13Seven seconds left six on the clock when Gardner Minshew off the bench.
21:17It's Michael Wilson who had nearly 130 yards from scrimmage and the Cardinals are going to beat the Cowboys except Chad Rylan missed the extra point.
21:25Cardinals rally from down double digits. Minchu with three late touchdowns.
21:29What an amazing back and forth game. Hey boy, go to overtime.
21:33So Jack's going to win in overtime except he's not Josh Sweat not yet traded with the third down sack.
21:39Cowboys have to punt Minshew gets him into field goal range.
21:43And then as Joe Davis said Ryland redemption. Chad Rylan wins it.
21:47The Cardinals have never lost an AT&T stadium. That's not a typo.
21:51They are five and oh and do it again.
21:53I'm concerned that shot is not getting it done the way you want it to be.
21:59Well, I don't know. None of us are getting it done.
22:02And that should be my concerns. Will this cause you to make a change?
22:07Yeah, we're not going to get into anything. That's not in my mind at this time.
22:12Very disappointing sucks. One of the toughest I guess I've been a part of.
22:16Yeah, no words for it really. Other than that, really, really disappointing, frustrating.
22:21It's part of this league. Cowboys go to Indianapolis this coming Sunday.
22:24Moments ago Brian Schottenheimer said both Caleb Downs and PJ Locke, two members of the secondary are in concussion protocol.
22:31Malachi Lawrence has an ankle and that it is more serious than the ankles suffered by Jake Ferguson and Joey Porter Jr.
22:38OK, so the Cowboys certainly banged up and reeling after that loss getting healthier.
22:42That man, Micah Parsons, Matt LaFleur. Any LaFleur will do says the plan is for Micah Parsons to practice this week.
22:49So coming back from last year's knee injury. No one thinks he's playing this week circle the night before Thanksgiving here in
22:56Los Angeles against the Rams for a potential Parsons return.
22:59Speaking of the Rams, Miles Garrett is getting back on the practice field this week.
23:04Sean McVay means it this time. He said it about an hour ago.
23:09McVay has not played so odd, by the way, to see him listed as a linebacker.
23:14Garrett rather has not played since week one in Australia.
23:17News not good in Tampa. Yahya Diaby, who some think might be traded, but the Bucks won yesterday, has an MCL sprain that is normally a multi-week injury.
23:26Bucks found a way to win yesterday in a downpour.
23:29Yes, they can stand the rain. The Saints have moved on from their run game coordinator, TJ Paganetti.
23:35New Orleans 28th rushing attack in the NFL, although they have had a banged up backfield.
23:40They're coming off a bye. They get the Browns this coming Sunday.
23:44How about a new flag football league? You knew it was coming, but the NFL and tomorrow sports unveiled today the premier league.
23:51That's going to be the brand identity for the new professional football flag league men and women flag league coming in the summer of 2027.
23:59And finally, we have time for one more thing before we go.
24:03Ladies and gentlemen, he is back. That is Kirko chains.
24:06Remember the Kirk cousins alter ego years ago in Minnesota.
24:10Now he's a Raider and the Raiders pulled out a win in a highly entertaining game in New York and the flight back.
