Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola pick up where they left off, diving deeper into what may be the best coaching matchup of NFL Week 2: Ben Johnson vs. Brian Flores as the Bears welcome the Vikings to Soldier Field.


0:00 Ben Johnson is 5-1 against Brian Flores

16:00 Troy Aikman thinks everything is the best ever

19:00 A new turn in the Josh Jacobs case

22:00 D'Andre Swift gets some recognition from the league

28:45 Could Carson Wentz take the starting job in Minnesota?


The conversation is fueled by ESPN's Ben Solak, who recently detailed the fascinating chess match between the two coaches, a rivalry that dates back to their days as AFC East assistants in Buffalo and Miami.


The guys also discuss, as pointed out by Dan Le Batard, Troy Aikman's tendency to crown every Monday Night Football moment as the greatest ever, examine a new development in the Josh Jacobs situation, and celebrate D'Andre Swift earning special recognition for his outstanding Week 1 performance against Carolina. Plus, the Vikings' quarterback drama is only getting more interesting, and Dan and Matt explain why it could become one of the most entertaining storylines of the entire season.
