Stink says Caleb Williams, back from a hamstring injury, was the best he has ever seen him playing on schedule in the win over Atlanta, and that Ben Johnson told him a year ago to wait and see the offensive line he was building. Merril says the Bears are playing to a championship standard up front, with three different quarterbacks and three different running backs all finding success behind it. In Kansas City, Kenneth Walker III has the Chiefs at 5-0 with an NFL-leading 665 rushing yards, and Merril says he has become a force every team has to deal with. Next up: Sunday night in Seattle, the team that let him go.

Also in this episode: • Alvin Kamara does it all for the Saints, and the Steelers’ fourth-quarter comeback in Tampa. • The Cowboys and Eagles offenses, and the Rams’ mounting losses and injuries. • Everybody calm down: nobody wants to win the NFC East, and Trey on why going for it on fourth down every time is a disease. • The Jalen Hurts fallout, and why Stink says team doctors have to be gatekeepers. • Burning questions: Are the Browns for real? Is it time to panic on the Rams? Who matters more, Kenneth Walker or Mike Evans?

Get well soon, Damien. We’ll be ready when you are.
