The guys kick things off by giving the Carolina Panthers some long-overdue credit. Down 17 to the Miami Dolphins? No problem — they kept pounding and found a way to win. While questions remain about Bryce Young, there’s enough progress to “tell you something good” about where this franchise is headed. The victory proves the Panthers have officially graduated to being an averagely bad NFL team — and that’s actually a good thing.

Around the NFL, Joe and Joe give Daniel Jones some respect, mourn the Ravens, and debate Taylor Swift’s newest song about Travis Kelce. Then ESPN’s Eric Mac Lain joins to break down where Miami fits in the national conversation after dominating Florida State, what to make of Clemson’s blowout over UNC, and whether Duke football is for real.

And yes — it’s another round of Belichick talk. Turns out UNC finally said something nice about Drake Maye, but that doesn’t change the bigger picture: Bill Belichick and Mike Lombardi seem to think fans, donors, and media are dumb enough to buy the “rebuild” narrative in Chapel Hill. Spoiler: they’re not.
