Are the Seahawks not getting enough attention because they’re boring? What are we looking for in tonight's game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers in Australia. Our friend Anthony Herron joined the show as NFL Kickoff Weekend continues. Can Drew Lock keep Seattle afloat while starting quarterback Sam Darnold recovers from his hip injury? With a more difficult schedule, should we expect more turnovers from Maye this season? How well will quarterback Brock Purdy play tonight for the 49ers after missing both games against the Rams last year. Will Rams star Myles Garrett get to Purdy for multiple sacks? With Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers injured, did they make the right call at quarterback going with Kirk Cousins over Fernando Mendoza? Could the Atlanta Falcons cut Tua Tagovailoa if the quarterback doesn’t play well Sunday? We catch up with the Fat Jack to preview tonight’s game and the weekend slate. Breaking news that Tagovailoa suffered an injury, could he miss the Falcons opener? Learn more about your ad choices.
