Description

Baker Mayfield BLEW His MVP Chance On Monday Night Football according to Skip Bayless as Skip & The Arena Gridiron Crew react to The Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football and debate if the Bucs' offensive struggles cost Baker his spot at the top of the NFL MVP discussion. Next, they react to the other game of the Monday Night double header as the Seattle Seahawks won an ugly game over the Houston Texans featuring 4 turnovers, sparking a debate on if the Seahawks dynamic duo of Sam Darnold & Jaxson Smith-Njigba can go on a deep playoff run to win the NFC. They then react to Mike McDaniel's comments on Tua Tagovailoa after the Miami Dolphins were dismantled by the Cleveland Browns and debate if the Fins' head coach is handling this horrible season correctly before debating the best running back in the NFL after Jahmyr Gibbs matched the recent performances by Bijan Robinson & Christian McCaffrey by torching the Buccaneers to the tune of 200+ scrimmage yards and 2 TDs. Finally, the Arena Gridiron Crew reacts to Dillon Gabriel leading the Cleveland Browns to a win over the Miami Dolphins and debate if the 3rd round rookie still deserves the starting nod over Shedeur Sanders before breaking down Travis Hunter's breakout game on offense where the Jacksonville Jaguars finally figured out how to use their unicorn.

The oline/dline dynamic is intense up there. They’ll never see eye to eye lol😂. This shit is funny. When Aqib is up there it’s the same way with the QB. They really view the game differently from positions the work against each other.
