Moving to Saturday games, he covers the Eagles-Commanders matchup, where Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown excel, and discusses Washington's quarterback situation with Marcus Mariota injured. The Bears-Packers game is detailed, focusing on Jordan Love's concussion and the potential for Malik Willis or a third-string quarterback to start, alongside a messy Packers backfield with Josh Jacobs' injury.

McCarthy's hand injury and Aaron Jones' workhorse role. The Buccaneers-Panthers game discusses Baker Mayfield's struggles and Mike Evans' reliability.
