Nightcap Hour 3: Patriots BLOW OUT Steelers + Packers OUTLAST Jets in OT + Raiders SEND Chargers PACKING + Seahawks DOMINATE Cardinals + 49ers DEFEATS Dolphins + Amazon Prime BIG DAY Deal

15:24Shannon Sharpe:He is absolute. He fumbled the ball three times, Joe Ocho. He threw three picks. He threw two picks. Damn.

15:36Shannon Sharpe:they got really fortunate today yeah think about this they fumbled the ball six times they recovered

15:42Chad Johnson:three of them yeah you get real fortunate with that boy yeah they got it ugly hey but what i told you what i what i told you about kurt cousins what about it what about well he like a doctor he like a doctor boy he like dewey hauser boy he's surgical you hear me he gonna get that ball to you. He gonna get it. You're right, Ocho. The Raiders didn't need what we would say huge explosive numbers from Cousins. I thought he made explosive throws, finished drives, and that Raiders defense, it created opportunities, bro. It created opportunities. That's why they were able to win. They 2-0 up? Yep. With no Brock Brown was out there too?

16:29Shannon Sharpe:Yep.

16:30Chad Johnson:That boy out there dealing.

16:36Man, Crosby was just kicking Joe off his ass.

16:45Shannon Sharpe:Crosby is the real deal. He's like, man, he's like, bro.

16:53Can you imagine if that deal went through with him with the Ravens?

16:57Chad Johnson:With him with who? Ravens. Why it got to be right? what? Okay, no. I ain't gonna say nothing. Oh, y 'all wanted him to? It ain't too late. We got a little Mayan. We still got a little Mayan.

17:10Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Jerry. Remember he went to the Ravens, but he failed the physical?

17:15Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

17:20Shannon Sharpe:Boy, Max Cosby, boy, he was just the pressure, just the relentless pressure. He just kept it. That boy, the dog ain't a man. Yeah, yeah, he got a modem.

17:35Chad Johnson:I don't know if this man's crying. Yeah, Joe, he needs, ooh. What?

17:43Shannon Sharpe:That tackle, man, he needs, ooh. But at some point in time, we got to call it like we see it. Justin Herbert, you got to do better, bro. Yeah. This here ain't good enough.

17:57Shannon Sharpe:Now.

18:02Shannon Sharpe:Greg Roman got fired. Anthony Lynn got fired. Staley got fired. Okay. So who fault is it now?

18:19Shannon Sharpe:Two head coaches and offensive coordinator that got fired under Justin Herbert's watch. You know they're not going to blame me.

18:28Chad Johnson:At some point they will, Ocho. Not the Golden Boys. Absolutely not.

18:35Shannon Sharpe:At some point.

18:40Shannon Sharpe:Brady might be a little better than we thought, guys. Brady. He had coaching his ass off. It's funny how you see these guys back. He used to be out there shagging balls, Ocho. Now he'll coach in the NFL, Ocho.

18:56Chad Johnson:That's how it happened, man. You know how many times I done seen ball boys moved to the video room from video room to assistant coaches to assistant coaches. Come on, man. It's steps you gotta take. That's how it happens, though. That's how it happens. Look at Sposher. Hell, he started in the video room in Miami. Yeah!

19:22Shannon Sharpe:The Seahawks defeated the Cardinals 31-7. Drew Locke 19-26. 235, three touchdowns. JSN dominated nine for a buck, 55, three toad. After nine receptions for 155 yards and three touchdowns today, JSN now the fifth receiver ever with at least eight catches and 120 yards receiving and a touchdown reception in each of his team's first two games. Stephon Diggs did it with Buffalo. Antonio Brown did it with Pittsburgh. Charlie Hennigan did it in 1962 with the Oilers. Bad Moon Andre Risen did it in 1994 with Atlanta.

20:03Shannon Sharpe:Hey, what more can we say about Jalen? Y 'all remember, Marvin Harrison Jr. was a better prospect. We're going to talk about him. We're talking about him a little bit. This is about Drew Locke and what he was able to do. And I told you, that's the advantages of having a quality backup. Yeah. Because until the starter gives back, he can keep you afloat. He played his ass off. Remember, he came in, what, third play of the game last week. They got a victory. Came it, started this week. No, look at it. 19 to 26, 235, three touchdowns. Clean game. Ooh.

20:38Chad Johnson:I'm talking about you.

20:39Shannon Sharpe:Clean game.

20:39Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, think about it. And he getting it out to his big playmakers in JSC and that boy don't miss. I'm talking about every time he touched the ball, it seemed like that boy finna make something happen.

20:48Shannon Sharpe:He does.

20:49Chad Johnson:He is explosive. Hey, hey, shout out to Drew Locke, though. Because I, you know, can you imagine being in that situation? y 'all just they just wanna was he there last year yeah oh yeah and to step right in and play the way he playing hell i don't even know sam donald can play that good i'll just keep it real he played his tail though just the time jacoby brissette whoo he got ugly shoot hey they they they they

21:17Shannon Sharpe:look good last week i don't know what happened today that'll happen that's what happened yeah

21:23Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey. And how my boy only get one target? No catches. How Marvin Harris only get one target, Ocho?

21:31Shannon Sharpe:He's not playing good. I don't know what it is, Joe, Ocho. When we said, you know, got to get his confidence. It's mentally. Ocho, he's just not playing good, Ocho. Yeah. I mean, there's only one way to get your confidence. They got to get you. Ocho, if I throw you the ball and you throw it back at me, what am I supposed to do? He's a receiver, not a retriever. A receiver, catch things. A retriever, pick it up and go. You know he dropped the ball, pick it up, throw it to the official. That ain't your job.

22:03Chad Johnson:Hey. Right. Hey. Hey. Damn. Hold on, man. Is it him not creating separation, Ocho? What is it? I just don't, I mean, with that body that he got, I know I've been seeing, you know, where some people say he didn't gain too much weight, He gained too much muscle. Come on, come on, man. Come on. Now, straight up, what I'm saying, is he not creating enough separation? Like, is he not open? Nah, he be wide open dropping stuff. Oh, Joe? Yeah, I don't like, me personally, Joe, I don't like the fact that he put on so much weight, he put on so much muscle. To me, I think it's made him a little bit more robotic.

22:48You know, he was fluid as he looked when he was at Ohio State. Now, when you put on that kind of muscle, obviously, I think maybe you do it because you want to be able to fight through contact, contested balls and be able to be a little bit stronger. But I mean, I don't know. It just doesn't look right. You know, it hadn't translated to him playing better. And, you know, I don't know, maybe it's concentration. You got to go back to the basics. You have to go back to the basics because he's really good. Based on what we saw at Ohio State, we know he can be one of the better NFL players in this league.

23:26He's just not playing like it, and I think it's in his head.

23:28Shannon Sharpe:What if I took Harrison Jr. off and put Johnson? His name was Marvin Johnson. How would you feel? Because his daddy was a Hall of Famer. His daddy was a multiple-time Pro Bowl player, a multiple-time All-Pro, a Super Bowl champion, a receptions leader. Hold on, man. Them big shoes to fill, now.

23:50Chad Johnson:Come on, now. Hold on. Them big shoes to fill, but that man put in some work, man. That man, I thought he was going to be a top receiver at this point in his career. What's this, his third year? This is his third year? Yeah, man. I thought he was going to be a top five receiver at this point. Okay, old Joe. He's supposed to be based on where he was drafted.

24:08Shannon Sharpe:He's absolutely supposed to be that, Joe. He's a guy that has a nine rating, which means he's transformative. he's supposed to be able to transform your franchise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that hasn't happened yet. It hasn't. He's got to play better. He's got Marvin Harrison. He had zero reception yards, zero, and he had one target. Marvin Harrison Jr. this season, he's run 62 routes, four targets, one reception, 33 yards, zero touchdowns, one drop. Damn.

24:45Chad Johnson:Yeah, he got to be better, man. He got to be better. He got to be better. I never hear him talk in press conferences.

24:56Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you barely heard Marvin senior talk. They're not big talkers. Marvin was a doer, though. Marvin was an all-decade player. I think he made the top 100, which was one of the best 100 players in NFL history. but Junior got to be better than this. They got to do a better job of getting him to football. He's going to have to do a better job getting open. And when he gets open and they throw him the ball, he's going to have to come down with it. Because at the end of the day, Ocho, I can call the best. I can diagram the best play. I can call it. You can run the best route. I can throw it to you.

25:37Shannon Sharpe:But if you don't catch it, it's all for naught.

25:39Chad Johnson:Yeah.

25:41Shannon Sharpe:There are so many things that have to be in place for a reception to happen. I have to call a play. Quarterback have to throw the ball. You have to run the route. You have to get open. Now, once all those four things, the previous four to five things happen, the last thing that needs to happen is what? You make the catch. If all those things are great and the last thing is bad, guess what? The other things don't seem great. yes we have expectations very high expectations based on what you did while you were in college based on the pedigree that you come from the lineage that you come from yeah yeah the expectations are different based on that and you didn't make it any easier about how good you were in college and remember Ocho he skipped all the workouts he didn't work out to the combine.

26:39Shannon Sharpe:He didn't do no interpersonal workout.

26:47Shannon Sharpe:He's got to be better. Ain't no ifs and buts. I ain't breaking news to no one. He's got to be better. And today, and so many times before, he hasn't been.

30:37Shannon Sharpe:49ers defeat the Guppies. The Guppies lose it ain't no surprise, but Brock Purdy being almost perfect. 20 or 22, 287, two touchdowns, one rushing, two passing touchdowns, one Russian. McCaffrey, 23 yards, two touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey is the third player in NFL history to have at least 50 touchdowns with two different franchises. The others are Hall of Famers, Marshall Falk and Randy Moss. Do you believe he solidified his career with this number right here? He's been offensive player of the year. I think he's been comeback player of the year. Ask, check that out. I know he's been offensive player of the year with that outstanding season.

31:16Shannon Sharpe:I think he's had a season where he ran 4 ,000, rushed 4 ,000, be caught 4 ,000. Do you think today, being the third player in NFL history, to catch, to have 50-plus touchdowns with two different franchises, do you think that solidified his career, his place in the Hall of Fame, Ocho and Joe?

31:36Chad Johnson:Yeah, McCaffrey? Yes. Yeah, I do. I do. I think the only thing that kind of deters you from McCaffrey Ocho is that it's injury history. But outside of that, when he on the field, bro, he putting in work. He going to put up numbers. Not only is he a great running back, but a receiving back as well, catching that ball at the backfield. He going to beat you in a multitude of ways. And he going to stuff the stats sheet. So I think he's definitely worthy. Yeah. Yeah, but Joe, I chat as well. I think obviously we know how much of an impact Christian McCaffrey is. We know how much of a dual threat he is, not only as a running back, but as a receiver too, Uncle Joe.

32:24Him being able to line up at receiver and those mismatches offensively when Shanahan puts him in position to do so, he's such a threat. He's such a threat, and he's done it consistently. I mean, Uncle Joe, when he gets those opportunities. So what he's been able to do, having that many touches, that many touchdowns and carries as well, he's definitely going to have that goal.

32:52Chad Johnson:He's definitely going to be sporting it. When you look at today's game, Ojo, this was vintage San Francisco with what I would say efficient quarterback play, you know, multiple weapons involved, and a defense, a defense that controlled the game. Miami's just, they just ain't got, they ain't got enough firepower to keep up the pace. You know what I'm saying? With the 49ers, they just don't. Considering the fact on what they're going through, Miami is a franchise. Yeah, anybody expect them boys to win no games.

33:24Shannon Sharpe:No. Again, Brock Purdy was 20 or 22, 287, two touchdowns. That's not, that's not a perfect, That's not a 158.3? Damn.

33:36Chad Johnson:Well, it was Dylan, wasn't it?

33:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. C-Mac had two touchdowns. George Kittle. We need to talk about Kittle. You know he came back from an Achilles tear seven months after the injury, Joe and Joe. Yeah. That's a little early, right? About two months early. That's very early. And Pete right away left off. Yeah.

33:56Chad Johnson:Yeah. He had four catches a day for 80 yards and a touchdown.

34:00Shannon Sharpe:And it's P-P. Yeah.

34:02Chad Johnson:They put him at what? 600 career catches, receptions, Unc, for his career. Yeah.

34:11Shannon Sharpe:He got to hang around a little longer going to bump me out of the top five.

34:16Chad Johnson:Hey, man, that said a lot too, bro. Kittles ain't no little dude. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And to be coming back from Achilles and be able to move the way he moved, man, come on. You got to be putting in some work, boy.

34:28Shannon Sharpe:You right. You right. But they look, 49ers look, I mean, look, when Brock Purdy is dealing like he's dealing right there, they got the weapons. Mike Evans, three for 54. Demarcus Robinson, three for 34. Debo was three for 31. I mean, Debo is some of everything. He had a rush. He had a couple of catches. But, I mean, look, we expected the 49ers to do exactly what they did over the Guppies. I don't know where the Guppies are going for. I don't really think they tried to win a whole lot of games.

34:58Chad Johnson:No, they're trying to get, you know what they're trying to get. They trying to get that number one spot. Listen, Joe, we in an unfortunate position right now. You know, I know we want to compete, want to come out week in and week out and give our team the best chance to win games. You know, give our fans something to cheer about. Give our fans a reason to come to the game and buy tickets. Even the fans have to understand. We are not in the house right now. We rebuilding, Joe. We rebuilding. I think the fans know that, Ocho, considering the fact that all you guys top players here, they don't even play for y 'all no more okay but y 'all still y 'all still paying them you feel what i'm saying everybody know everybody know the dolphins trying to trying to get that number one spot bro i don't blame it we can jeremy hey the way the charges been looking they might be fighting y 'all for it now the charge is gonna win some games them them dolphins though i ain't gonna i ain't here to talk about the dolphins old joe but it's gonna be a long season it's gonna be a It's gonna be a long season.

36:00Shannon Sharpe:Oh, good. Yeah, it's gonna be an extremely long season. And we got time. It's all good.

36:07Chad Johnson:Huh?

36:09Shannon Sharpe:It's all good. We gonna be all right. No, y 'all not. I already knew. Stop saying that. Y 'all not gonna be okay. Another two years. What the hell? Hold on. It's called rebuilding. It doesn't happen overnight and this ain't Madden. You can't just pick players you want to. Who promised somebody two years? I'm trying to figure out what you promised tomorrow.

36:34All right. I'm with you when you're right. Oh, y 'all having a few. Y 'all feel good about yourself, huh? Not bad.

36:39Shannon Sharpe:Look, you know what? I've been putting this up because, you know, y 'all.

36:42Chad Johnson:Oh, man. Here he goes.

36:44Shannon Sharpe:Here he goes.

36:46Chad Johnson:Well, what you going to do when they both lose one week?

36:51Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you going to have me. We ain't crossed that bridge yet, Joe.

36:56Shannon Sharpe:Joe, why you see? You see how you talking, Joe? I ain't say nothing about your team. You said, what happened with both of your teams?

37:02Chad Johnson:I just asked a question. I went, you know, I just asked a question.

37:07Shannon Sharpe:Taking shots. Falcons might be in the running for that number one pick, too, Joe. Joe, why you bulljiving? Well, we know who they'll take. They definitely going for ours. Oh, for sure. They better come out better getting Dante Moore or Mensah. Why you say that?

37:29Chad Johnson:Man, you know we want one of them, Joe. They want one of them little – why not Archie, though?

37:36Shannon Sharpe:They want Atlanta?

37:39Chad Johnson:Yeah, I know. I know. But, hell, hey, I'm going to tell you something about Atlanta. It don't matter. If you win, boy, they going to rally around, you know.

37:46Shannon Sharpe:Man, Matt Ryan could have won 10 Super Bowls. He's never going to be more popular than Michael Vick.

37:52Chad Johnson:All right, well, come on. Come on, it ain't many. Come on. I know Vick ain't winning no title, but he was polarizing.

37:59Shannon Sharpe:He different.

38:04Guppies 0-2.

41:21Shannon Sharpe:Here she go. You should have known. Cowboys won. Here she is. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. Hey, fam. I usually don't wear shades at night, but Lord, those stars are shining so bright. Tell them, Joe. How about them Cowboys? Hello. Hello. though. Yeah. Like it. Oh, Joe, Sam LeGrand wants to know JSN or Chase? Chase. Oh, man. Go Pack Go. Y 'all don't talk about my pack enough. I'm from Chicago and love y 'all way the way y 'all get along. Can y 'all describe how y 'all met individually? All love.

42:00Chad Johnson:We met on I met both of these dudes. I met them on night i met these dudes on night count that's what people don't understand they think we all been i said man i ain't even know i had never met okay ocho prior to night cap yeah yeah uh i did a

42:18Shannon Sharpe:story i did a piece on ocho when i was at cbs it had to be like 2004 2005. i did a piece on ocho and then he slot sat down with me on club shay shay i think it was that had to be like what 22 yeah 2022 and then when i got let go at fox and wanted to start something on my own i read hey i knew his representative uh uh used to work i used to uh doug uh used to work in jamie's office asked him well you know what ocho doing he's like funny ocho is here in la right now Can we meet for lunch? We met. That was it.

42:58Chad Johnson:Damn.

42:59Shannon Sharpe:It happened just like that. It was just meant to be. Yeah. A new voice is still getting the same results, Ravens. Henry, five carries in the second half. The defense collapses. God. And Unk's voice. When I slapped that microphone. Damn it.

43:21Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah. I don't understand that. I don't know how he got five kids in the second half, man. Don't worry about it. He's going to have five on the first drive, first series.

43:37Shannon Sharpe:Nightcap, I'm going to always support. But, oh, you got to stop this flipping teams when you lose. It don't make you no bad, brother. Stick to one team. I can't. I can't. I mean, come on. Y 'all make it seem like I was there for like six games. I helped the Ravens win their first championship. That got to count for something.

44:04Chad Johnson:Yeah, it count for something. It count for something.

44:07Shannon Sharpe:I know I spent the majority of my career. So I guess Peyton Manning shouldn't root for the Broncos. He spent the bulk of his career in Indy. How many times have y 'all seen Peyton Manning at the Indy game and how many times have you seen him at the Bronco games? So Peyton Manning shouldn't root for the Broncos.

44:31Chad Johnson:Nah, well, see, Peyton Manning, he ain't flicker like that to where you see him holding up a coach. He holding up a coach helmet one week and then the next he holding up a Bronco. He ain't got no podcast.

44:44Shannon Sharpe:He got the manicure. It'd be interesting to see if they were to play each other on a Monday night, who would he pull for?

44:52Chad Johnson:I don't think he'd pull for nobody. You do? Broncos. I don't think he would say. I think he would speak highly of both of them. I don't think he would necessarily commit and be like, oh, I'm a Bronco. I don't think he would do that.

45:09Shannon Sharpe:Well, he live in Denver.

45:14Shannon Sharpe:He never left. He went back when they gave him the statue. Obviously, they played Indy, and they had to go back. And when they gave him the statue, I don't think he spends a whole lot of time there. Mainly, most of his time is spent between Denver and Tennessee.

45:32Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all be hating, though. The Raiders 2-0. Cowboys won. I couldn't believe it. Bengals looking good. Raiders are back. But the Chiefs back, too. We're going to beat them both.

45:44Chad Johnson:Why they couldn't believe it when they say the Cowboys? What they couldn't believe?

45:49Shannon Sharpe:Because the way y 'all later ate last week,

45:51Chad Johnson:you talking about old stuff again. See what I'm talking about?

45:53Shannon Sharpe:My bad, my bad, my bad.

45:54Chad Johnson:See what I'm talking about? We done moved on. Hell, we done got a dub since then. You talking about something that don't even matter. We did too? Who was we? The Broncos.

46:09Shannon Sharpe:Got a chance to meet and get a picture with my favorite receiver today at the Bengals-Houston matchup. He said, we did 12 years in the pen together. Shout out, Ocho. Much love, you brother. Who they? Love the show.

46:24Shannon Sharpe:That thing was rocking, boy. Deshaun Watson, Tampa's hot son, doubted and forgotten. Browns by four. Look, got to give him credit. We beat the Browns up when they play bad. And Deshaun don't play bad, but plays bad. He played good today. We got nothing but praise for the Browns and Deshaun Watson. He did the damn thing today. Yes, sir. He did it.

46:51Shannon Sharpe:Texas D looking suspect. Well, I mean, you get four trips in the red zone and you don't score cash in no touchdown, you don't win games kicking field goals. Ain't nothing new.

47:04Chad Johnson:That's why Dan Quinn didn't kick that damn field goal. Yeah.

47:11Shannon Sharpe:He should have kicked the field goal. Now he's going to be trying to kick field goals from the 50 yard line. He's going to take all the points he can get. Go, Birds! Hurts was ice cold in that game-winning drive, so Smitty, who looked like wide receiver like he always was, but Juergens plays like his brain is in his butt, letting anyone through like a buffet. Might be nicked again, man.

47:39Shannon Sharpe:But if a obviously Jalen and Smitty, they know each other. They were in Alabama together. Jalen obviously ends up leaves, goes to Oklahoma, but they're very familiar with each other. He has a lot of confidence in him. Yeah, and Smitty was you're the number 10 pick in the draft. You don't draft a receiver with the number 10 pick in the draft. We want you to be a two. You're a one. Yeah. Definitely. Todd Bowles is 2-9 since starting 6-2 in 2025. If he doesn't turn it around ASAP, he won't make it past week 6. Agree or disagree, guys? I agree. Listen, I agree, but they're going to turn it around.

48:23They're going to turn it around. You better. You better.

48:31Shannon Sharpe:I got a Bears hoodie from the same company and you brought that Charlie Brown tea. Glad yours is good quality because mine is crap.

48:42Shannon Sharpe:Get them kids a candy bar, Ocho.

48:47Shannon Sharpe:The first time I've seen the truth turn into a lie is when ISO had Paul Pierce scraping the floor like a dice game. ISO, what was going through your head when you crossed that man up like that?

49:00Chad Johnson:What was going through my head? You know, in the midst of a game, especially in basketball, it's more read and react. So it's nothing that I've ever worked on or practiced or any of that. It's just kind of a reaction to – that was my reaction to his action versus him guarding me. You know, he was pressing up on me. And, you know, it just kind of happened, bro. I ain't going to lie to you. There ain't nothing I go to the gym and practice that little – you know, obviously I got it. But in the midst of playing, you're going to initially do things that you never practiced before, and that's kind of what happened.

49:35Shannon Sharpe:It's like, you know what, Ocho, you run a great route, and then you drop the ball. Joe, you think I just gotta make the shot. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, that's the whole, that's the, man, you don't never wanna run no great route. Like, ooh, boy, I just crossed, I just, oh, I just. So now I just, hey, I gotta, I just gotta make it. I just gotta make the shot.

49:54Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah, yeah, look, look, look. When he fell, I seen him fall. Mind you, me and Paul, I ain't really saying a whole lot to him the whole game, but he talking trash the whole game. It's just who he is. He's going to talk to me the whole game. And when he fell, I knew I had to shoot the ball, even though Jason Terry, because I've seen it so many times, he contested, and I had D-Will open in the corner. I'm like, shit, I got to shoot this, though. That boy hit the deck. I got to make sure this go in. And that's what it was.

50:27Shannon Sharpe:You think the Ravens are trying to stall Derrick Henry and send this by limiting his carries? No, I don't. Nah. Nah. They want to win more than any of that other stuff y 'all talking about. Shoot, man, statistically speaking, when he carries the ball more than 50 times, they do win. So somebody's lying. Just get a man to rock. I don't know what y 'all. Just get a man to rock. All right, so we them boys, baby. Unk switching teams as usual. We putting BTA to them birds in Rio. Hello. Hello. We got something for you.

51:05Shannon Sharpe:Ocho I think Jamar just in pure talent is already a top 10 receiver ever body control separation route running agility physicality and aggression going for the ball yeah

51:18Chad Johnson:yeah he won the one for sure the Seattle

51:23Shannon Sharpe:Seahawks will repeat JSN is the best receiver in the game hands down he's better than Chase Jefferson Puka Lamb Pickens he did it with Sam now he's doing it with Drew. Question, do you ride Drew or go back with Sam when he's healthy? What do you mean to ride Drew? Didn't you just see Sam Donald get paid? What are we talking about? Ed won a Super Bowl.

51:46Chad Johnson:But damn, you're going to mess up that Let's say Sam come back and they 4-0.

51:53Shannon Sharpe:Well, Sam will get a chance to make him 5-0.

51:56Chad Johnson:Aw, man. Come on, bro.

51:59Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, talk to him, Ocho. Yeah, yeah. I've explained it to him before. He knows. Joe knows. Joe knows. All right. Okay. Joe knows. You know, the money always plays, Joe. All right, I'm going to leave it alone, bro. I'm going to leave it alone.

52:18Shannon Sharpe:What's up, guys? I need your help once again. Help me wish my amazing wife, Sarah, a happy anniversary. Big 14. And if not, it won't make y 'all no bad brother. Sarah, happy 14th wedding anniversary. Hubby wanted you to know, hey, couldn't have done it without you. Hello. Say you're amazing. Say you're the best wife ever. I tend to believe it because you let him watch Nightcap. Happy anniversary, Sarah. Y 'all, yes, y 'all, want to say Hurst ain't good as these other QBs. Give him his props for that drive because y 'all for sure would have been saying he can't do or he's not asked to do it after them two picks.

52:59Shannon Sharpe:I gave him his props. He really didn't have no choice. When you're down in the ball game, they're not going to hand the ball off. You run out of time. So he had to throw it. And we did give him credit. Jeffrey Simmons says, and I understand what he was saying, he says, I want to see him throw the ball from the pocket. We're not going to let him run around and scramble and get first downs. We're not going to let him run around and have him throw the ball over the top of our heads. We want Jalen Hurst to play quarterback from the pocket. Yeah. He did that. On the final drive, he did that. We gave him credit.

53:31Shannon Sharpe:I mean, we didn't have no ticker tape parade for him, but we gave him credit.

53:38Shannon Sharpe:Chiefs and Alabama won. Alabama beat Kentucky last week. Kentucky beat a top 10 team, and Alabama is better than people give them credit for. Also, put the NFL team's record up in the graphics when you show scores. Love, Nightcap. We didn't say Alabama wasn't good, But I don't know if you can keep spotting teams 14. You think they can spot Georgia 14? You think they're going to spot LSU 14?

54:04Chad Johnson:Yeah, I know.

54:05Shannon Sharpe:You can't keep spotting these teams because the teams are going to get better. Kentucky was unranked, and they spotted them. Who did they play last week?

54:21Shannon Sharpe:Who did they just beat?

54:26Shannon Sharpe:Who did Alabama play on Saturday? Florida State, EFSU. They unranked. They just lost to a Harvard team. Look, Florida State just fired their athletic director. They're looking at Mike Norvell sideways. Hey, Ocho, didn't I tell you what you call them was going to drop Texas A &M? I said they were going to drop 15 spots. They dropped 14. Oh, you was right. Yeah. You can't lose to an unranked team at home. Oh, you're going to plummet. You know a little something. I'm still dying. It also said he need to do some push-ups.

55:11Chad Johnson:Talking about Jay Dadgers. Yeah, he need to do some push-ups, bro.

55:17Shannon Sharpe:Cowboys missing a true MLB and an edge rusher. Zero sacks today. Me, personally, I would have asked for Van Ness, the outside edge rusher from the Green Bay Packers, instead of Kenny Clark. But, hey, that's just me.

55:31Chad Johnson:Yeah, I seen that. We ain't had no sacks. That ain't good. Nope. Damn.

55:38Shannon Sharpe:This goes out to all the agents and haters out there. Nightcap is the best show on the Internet, cable, and the universe. Nightcap number one with or without your clients. The star is already here. Love you guys. Appreciate it. We appreciate everybody that when we reach out or, you know, they reach out to us, we got no problem.

55:58Chad Johnson:Yeah.

55:59Shannon Sharpe:We got no problem. I don't think Ocho not said anything bad, anything wrong, but okay.

56:09Shannon Sharpe:Sir, Ocho, what makes JSN different? He's smooth, man. He's smooth. He's really good. really good a man really good in zone his speed is deceptive looks like he's not moving before you know it he's running right by him every route looks the same no matter what he's running no matter what he's running he's really good he's very very very polished I like to call it very polished he can run a route and doesn't lose any speed at all That's really, really hard to do.

56:54Shannon Sharpe:Aiso, me and my woman have a debate. She's from L.A., I'm from St. Louis. Pick one, Kobe 8 or 24. Which one you going with?

57:02Chad Johnson:I'm going 8. Kobe 8 is the one I grew up, and I really fell in love watching Uncle Ocho at an early age, meaning when I was in high school. Mind you, Kobe 8 was probably, what, three years older than me? so when he came into the NBA with the Lakers you know Derrick Fisher him and Derrick Fisher were both drafted in 96 Derrick Fisher from Lurak so naturally everybody watching the Lakers because we looking at D Fish and I gravitated toward Kobe because I'm like damn how this 17 year old dude out here giving these boys hell like this and then it just kept growing and growing and he obviously turned into who he was but I just remember the eight bro he was number eight was relentless, Arcan Ocho.

57:48Chad Johnson:He was going at your neck. You hear me? Yep. That boy was serious, man.

57:55Shannon Sharpe:The Falcons should have got Joe Milton when the Cowboys released him. Cowboys rolled the dice. They should have. I promise you, he better than Cooper Rush.

58:05Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah. I don't think there's no question. But at the same time, I think the Falcons were thinking, you know, we depend a lot on Penix. and if you bring Joe Milton in there, yeah, boy, you're going to have to get rid of some of them guys.

58:22Shannon Sharpe:Since the Falcons need a quarterback bad and now Drake is arguing with fans, should the 49ers consider a trade involving Mac Jones for Drake London? What? Also, Ocho was right about Mike Evans. He's still that boy. Man, they're not finna trade no Drake London. Yeah, I'm not. He got into it with the fans?

58:40Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, boy, that's how it is, boy. You know the fans get a chirping at you when you lose them? You get a snapping. And you can't – Hey, and see, the thing is when he signed for that money, Ocho, y 'all know what they're bringing. It brings expectation. Absolutely. Regardless who back there at quarterback, they expect for you to get it done, bro. Yep.

59:09Shannon Sharpe:What's up, Nightcap family? Joe Milton can help Atlanta. They need it. is the next three games being in primetime, shaking my head, Raiders 2-0. We coming. Yeah, they got a Thursday night game, they got a Sunday night game, and a Monday night game.

59:23Chad Johnson:Damn.

59:25Shannon Sharpe:And I don't think they can flex out them this early. So they stuck.

59:29Chad Johnson:Yeah, they –

59:30Shannon Sharpe:Like being on the elevator with a bad song.

59:35Chad Johnson:They depending on pennies, boy. Hey.

59:38Shannon Sharpe:Woo, let that sink in. Yeah. You depending on the guy coming off an ACL.

59:45Damn.

59:50Shannon Sharpe:What season Falcon ticket holder, no playoffs we been in in that new stadium. I want my money back.

1:00:00Shannon Sharpe:You stuck, Chuck. You ain't getting no money back. JSN scoring touchdowns, taking pictures, giving footballs away to fans at the end zone area. Commanders have Seahawks next with no Jane Daniels. Oh, Lord, have mercy. Ocho, pray for them.

1:00:19Chad Johnson:It ain't not the vision. I ain't saying it's good that he hurt, but damn, you know.

1:00:26Shannon Sharpe:I just want to let the Eagles keep on because y 'all got the Eagles in a couple of weeks. Just keep on doing what y 'all do. We got something for y 'all.

1:00:33Chad Johnson:We got something for them.

1:00:35Shannon Sharpe:Oh, okay. We beat a team that made the playoff last year. We got people mad. God don't like jealousy. Haters going to have to put some extra on the plate this week in next week's service. 2-0 Raiders.

1:00:58Tyler Shook, the real deal.

1:01:01Shannon Sharpe:Who that?

1:01:04Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Ocho, Iso, can y 'all give a birthday shout-out to my boy, Trey Jones? He turned 35 today. We celebrated at the Broncos game, and we got the dub. Let's go, Broncos. Trey, happy 35th birthday, bro. Appreciate y 'all going to the Broncos game, seeing that victory. It was never a dollar in my mind that we were going to pull that thing out. But appreciate you tuning in tonight, Captain Knight. We greatly, greatly appreciate that. That completes this episode of Nightcap. As you watch the Kansas City Chiefs walking off in overtime as time expired, Harrison Buckner kicks the game-winning field goal as they win 33-30.

1:01:44Shannon Sharpe:Patrick Mahomes looked like Patrick Mahomes. No knee injury, nothing. K-9 was unbelievable, and Travis Kelsey turned back the hands of time. Nine for a buckle, one in a touchdown. K-9 was sensational again in back-to-back. First guy in a very, very long time to have at least 175 total yards in the first two games of the season. And again, Patrick Mahomes, 382 passing yards, three touchdowns, a clean game from him as they win this ball game. That completes this episode of Nightcap. You know who I am.
