Mike and Ed take a look around the league, the NFC North, and breakdown the Vikings win versus the Raiders.
Around the League
- Buffalo is 3-0 following a win v CIN (NYJ/NYG)
- Giants win over a missed FG from Bucs
- Atlanta loses close one
- Carolina explodes without Cam
- NO staves off Seattle - Teddy Bridgewater does enough to win
- SF is 3-0 following beating PIT (0-3)
- Cleveland botches end of game

The North Face
- Greenbay Edges Denver - Their Defense appears to be real. Can the offense follow suit? Big game this week on a short week against Philadelphia
- Detroit Upsets the Eagles (27-24) - We said they’d be better than people thought. We appear to be right.
- Chicago - Playing at recording

Offense
- Great rebound first drive
- Dalvin Cook is special
- OL Appreciation Day
I'm really concerned, we drafted the wrong OLiner in R1. Bradbury might lack strength and gain more weight in the next offseason but in the end it comes down to if he can handle the DTs in this league and honestly I think the answer is: he can't. Change my mind with ur optimism

- Irv Smith Jr. Breakout Game - Does he carve out a bigger role with the athleticism that was displayed?
- Is there any concerns with Stefon Diggs / Adam Thielen taking a backseat to Dalvin Cook going forward?
WR depth going forward- do we add someone regardless of Beebe’s injury status

Defense
- Defense starts fast
- No Anthony Barr, No Problem - Eric Wilson fills in beautifully
- Mike Hughes, Welcome Back
- Everson Griffen and Danielle Hunter cause havoc (9 combined pressures)
How many more touchdowns is Nate Meadors going to hand out this season

if you die during the process of atoning for something awful you did, how far along in your penance must you be for your soul to be at peace? is there an ideal percentage or is a sincere intention enough?

Chicago Predictions
- Something like 3-15 in their last 18 trips to Chicago.
