Fresh off a pivotal week in NFL action, Peter Schrager gives his flowers to the Los Angeles Rams and the historic tear both the team and their quarterback are on. Then, he doubles down on his Cowboys optimism, while detailing why the Indianapolis Colts could be in trouble. He gives out his Player of the Week Award and his Sports Media Winner of the Week Award, and has the hottest of hot takes: OFFICIALLY OUT on turkey. Onnie Bose joins to discuss the NFL's most-anticipated regular season weekend in quite some time. With a loaded slate on Thanksgiving, a gem of a Friday matchup in Philadelphia and Patriots vs. Giants on Monday Night Football, ratings records could be broken. They do a deep dive on all things scheduling, flex rules and the inner workings of the NFL broadcast world.
