00:03That win against the Chargers, they were down 10-0 in that football game.
00:07They all of a sudden win that game 27-10.
00:10Jaden Daniels with 231 passing, a late passing touchdown.
00:14Ground game was good.
00:15I mean, it was an odd football game.
00:17They didn't feel as dominant as that final score says,
00:20but obviously that was the end result of it here.
00:24How big is the stock-up arrow for Washington following this win?
00:29Again, it's a game that they needed, right, because they split with Mariota.
00:35And for me, I don't believe the ceiling is like I told you at the start of the year.
00:41I don't think they're a 12-win football team.
00:43I think they're a 10-win football team, and that's not a knock on Jaden Daniels.
00:47I've been the biggest supporter of Jaden Daniels, I believe, on the network.
00:50I think he's the real deal.
00:52I just think they're not a complete football team on the defensive side of the football.
00:56And, again, we're seeing regression more so from L.A. than we are of an elevation of Washington.
01:03Because, again, I don't think Washington is as complete as, let's say, Tampa.
01:08I just don't.
01:09I don't think Washington is certainly not as complete as the Eagles right now.
01:14I don't think they're as complete if they played again this year against Detroit.
01:18But it was a big win because they needed that.
01:22You need to get road wins, and that's why I keep going back to Tampa Bay.
01:25Not to go back off the subject, but they're 4-1, three road wins.
01:30When you can win on the road in the NFL, that is a huge, I want to say, magnifier to seeing who can potentially make a run at an AFC or an NFC championship.
01:41And when you have a quarterback like Baker or a quarterback like Jaden that's willing to take a game over, whether it be with his arm or his legs like Jaden does at times, that is as good as it gets.
01:52I want to see teams win on the road.
01:54So for Washington to go into a tough environment to one of the better defenses, at least at that time, put up 27 points, make halftime adjustments, and completely confuse Justin Herbert and hold him to $1.66.
02:08I mean, that's a dynamic effort.
02:10Now, can they maintain that over 17 games?
02:13No.
02:14So you've got one good, one bad, one good, one bad, and at the end of the day, they're a 10-7 football team.
02:20But I think, I like, for one, it's not a game where it's like, this Washington team, I'm telling you, Eagles watch out.
02:29And they can contend for the division, but it didn't give me.
02:33They don't have a pure number one.
02:34They just needed a win.
02:35I don't know.
02:36Right now.
02:36But you're right.
02:38They just needed a win.
02:38But to me, then, it does make it a little bit more about the Chargers.
02:42Right.
02:43You started 3-0.
02:44Right.
02:45It's like, oh, here we go.
02:46This is their year.
02:47Three divisional wins.
02:49And I'm sorry.
02:49Like, did I think the Commanders were live in the game and it was a good spot for them?
02:53Yes.
02:53We talked about that.
02:54But, Joe, you just lost two straight to the Giants and the Commanders, booked his favorites in both football games.
02:59I don't know if I really have time.
03:01I understand there were some injuries there, but, you know, Rashaun Slater's not coming back.
03:05I don't know if Khalil Mack's coming back.
03:06Joe Alt might miss some time here.
03:09I'm like, that's not really an excusable performance.
03:12No, but I don't think the Chargers are an elite football team.
03:14I think they would be better than where they were last year.
03:17I thought going into Sunday they were one of the eight best teams in football.
03:20I don't know if I think that now.
03:21No, I don't think – I told you, I think Denver is, from what I've seen now, and you take it off to what you've seen lately, what have you done for me lately?
03:30Denver's defense flying to the football.
03:33It's a lot of average in the IFC.
03:35It is.
03:35I'll tell you, I think the NFC is way better this year than the IFC.
