More from Evan & Tiki
Evan Roberts is officially nervous about the Jets, and a matchup with the winless Miami Dolphins suddenly feels like a potential disaster. Despite Miami's ugly record, Evan warns that the Dolphins are better than people think, while the Jets continue to sabotage themselves with costly penalties, red-zone failures, and an offense that can't get Garrett Wilson the football. Tiki Barber weighs in on Frank Reich's struggles and why another sloppy performance could effectively end the Jets' season.
The Knicks' championship ring celebration has turned into a controversy for all the wrong reasons! Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber agree that assistant coaches receiving their rings late is hardly a scandal.

Evan and Tiki blast the stunt as mean-spirited and question how anyone thought it was a good idea.
