Falcons Rout the Saints | NFL Week 5 Look-Ahead — Coach and Company Tuesday 10/6/26

It's Tuesday, so it's the look-ahead, but first a victory lap. The Monday Night Grind went 6-0 at halftime, so Coach and Raphael Esparza put two $25 merch gift cards on the wheel for the live chat. Raphael admits he was wrong about the Saints, because the Falcons ran away with it 45-24 (NFL.com). Bijan Robinson went for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard run, Brian Robinson Jr. scored three times, and Drake London caught five for 96 (ESPN). Coach wonders if we've seen a back this dynamic since Barry Sanders. Mikey P credits Atlanta's offensive line for running behind backup left tackle Michael Jerrell after Jake Matthews left in his 200th career start, and Supi says Penix has made the rest of the Falcons startable in fantasy. Atlanta is 2-2, tied with Carolina atop the NFC South. Coach opens with the news: the NFL suspended two officials for conduct toward players (ESPN), the Rays lead the Yankees 2-0 in the ALDS (ESPN), and the White Sox can clinch at home Wednesday (ESPN).

Raphael's Inside Info covers college football, the Jaguars-Eagles London game and Bears at Packers, where Chicago is a road favorite at Lambeau for the first time in 20 years (Yahoo Sports). Picks are the hosts' opinions, and lines move. Then the Week 5 look-ahead. Mikey P has no sympathy for Eagles fans after the Rams' coaches celebrated in the booth, and the crew picks the season's biggest storyline (injuries). Coach thinks Todd Bowles is a coordinator, not a head coach, as the 0-4 Bucs head to Dallas on Thursday with Baker Mayfield out (Dallas Cowboys). Mikey P wonders if Nick Sirianni gets his own flight home from London. Mikey P and Supi both take the 49ers at Seattle. On Monday night, Coach says the pressure of never reaching a Super Bowl is leading Josh Allen into bad chances, while Supi leans Rams (NFL.com). A Super Chat on international games turns into Coach's Flight From Hell story and the Brock Lesnar elbow he still feels.
