On today’s show, Pat, DBut, AJ Hawk, and the boys recap last night’s dominant performance by the Buffalo Bills against the Minnesota Vikings, reflecting on their experience being right in the middle of the action for Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show. The lads also have a loaded lineup of guests as they gear up for a busy day around the NFL, with the trade deadline set for 4 p.m. EST and plenty of potential moves still on the table. Joining the progrum, Buffalo Bills Right Tackle, Spencer Brown, stops by to break down the team’s mindset and game plan heading into last night’s matchup, along with the offensive line’s impressive performance despite being without two starters on the left side. Brown also discusses the impact Joe Brady has had on Buffalo’s locker room and culture, what makes Josh Allen such a special quarterback, and his ability to remain composed in hostile environments like Minnesota. He also weighs in on the defense stepping up under the bright lights of primetime and shares his thoughts on the possibility of the NFL expanding its regular-season schedule. With the NFL trade deadline quickly approaching, Sports Agent and Founder of Rosenhaus Sports Representation, Drew Rosenhaus joins the boys to provide a behind-the-scenes look at how deals get done around the league. Rosenhaus discusses his involvement in trade negotiations, why some deals fall apart before crossing the finish line, and the latest surrounding his client Brandon Aiyuk following his reinstatement by the NFL. He also provides an update on Jauan Jennings and explains why he’s hopeful Minnesota makes a move for a quarterback before the deadline, especially with one of his clients potentially benefiting from the opportunity.  Shifting gears to college football, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General and College Football Playoff Executive Director, Rich Clark, joins the progrum to discuss his extensive military background and the transition into his current role leading the CFP. Lieutenant General Clark takes the boys inside the discussions surrounding a potential expansion to a 24-team playoff, the role of the CFP Selection Committee, and the process of securing a five-year broadcast agreement with ESPN. He also explains how the committee evaluates injuries and backup quarterbacks when ranking teams, and just how much those factors can influence the playoff picture. Rounding out the show, Junior NFL Insider for ESPN, Ian Rapoport, stops by with the latest news, rumors, and developing storylines as the NFL trade deadline draws closer. Raps breaks down some of the biggest potential moves still on the table, including the possibility of Kirk Cousins returning to Minnesota, whether the Indianapolis Colts are finished making moves, and everything else happening around the league as teams make their final decisions before the 4 p.m. deadline. Then to round out the guests, Oregon Head Coach, Dan Lanning, talks about the struggles this season but looks to turn things around and how he has evolved as a coach amidst the rockier season thus far. Lanning also touches on the coordinator change midway through the season and the success they seemingly have had since. Making a surprise appearance, Senior NFL Insider for ESPN, Adam Schefter, talks the boys more about Kirk Cousins getting traded back to the Vikings for a 2027 3rd-Round pick, and possibly starting as Minnesota takes on Green Bay this Sunday.   Make sure to subscribe to youtube.com/thepatmcafeeshow or watch on ESPN (noon–2 p.m. EST), ESPN’s YouTube channel (noon–3 p.m. EST), or ESPN+.
