Daniel Jeremiah is joined by Brain Baldinger to discuss the top 5 surprises and additions through six weeks of the NFL season. What exactly went wrong for the Los Angeles Chargers? Who saw the Los Angeles Rams being 2-4? Why is the Houston Texans defense not a dominant unit? And the Browns and 49ers being THIS good is certainly surprising.
Plus, what has made Klint Kubiak so impactful to the Las Vegas Raiders, how Mike Evans has changed the game for the San Francisco 49ers, what’s made rookie defenders Arvell Reese, David Bailey and Sonny Styles pop a third of the way through the season, and Isaiah Likely has been dominant for the Giants! And of course, Kenneth Walker III has to be number 1.

DJ takes a look at Mike Evans' dominant showing while also discussing Gracen Halton's impact on the San Francisco D-line, as the rookie made arguably the play of the game in the win. Plus, the Patriots and Packers offenses lit up the Raiders and Bears, with both offering their best performances of the season after some lackluster efforts earlier in the year. The Ravens got a big win on Sunday Night Football thanks to some Tyler Huntley heroics, and DJ took a look at a Baltimore edge rusher that probably isn't getting talked about enough. The Lions offense flexed its muscle on the road in Arizona and the defense played surprisingly well. Does that say more about Detroit or the Cardinals? The Vikings remain perfect and the offense looked better this week! DJ breaks down how Kevin O'Connell is learning how to use Kyler Murray before getting into the great tape from David Bailey, Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles as the three Top 10 picks continue to deliver on a weekly basis. Finally, some notes on the Bengals offense and Jordan Battle's 2 interception performance and Will Anderson Jr.'s continued dominance as he strengthens his DPOY case.

Daniel Jeremiah breaks down all the games from NFL Week 4 Sunday, sharing his biggest takeaways from each result. CeeDee Lamb torched the Texans and that's now twice an offense has had its way with Houston. DJ gives Lamb his due but also what are we to make of the Texans defense? The Chiefs improved to 4-0 and Kenneth Walker is continuing his unreal start. Are the Chiefs the BEST team in the NFL? The 49ers picked up a gritty win when it wasn't easy against Denver, the Jags continue to play winning football and the Rams came back against a struggling Eagles offense. DJ takes a closer look at George Kittle, Brenton Strange and Tee Higgins, the Eagles' 3rd down woes and Puka Nacua from some of the leagues' most important results.
