- Brees, under pressure, throws. And reaching for it is Emmanuel Sanders for the touchdown.
JARED QUAY: So much for an instant classic between Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
- It was a blowout.
JARED QUAY: Antonio Brown's big NFL comeback was a total bust, as was the entire Buccaneers team who was at home against the Saints. And pardon my French, but they got they asses whipped.
- Wow.
- And intercepted by Malcom Jenkins.
JARED QUAY: Tampa was so bad, even Taysom Hill had his way with them. I bet this game had Bucs fans screaming--
- Stop the count!
MICHAEL RAPAPORT: Stop the count.
- Stop the count.
- Stop the count!
JARED QUAY: But New Orleans wasn't hearing that noise and ran up the score to put the Buccaneers to bed.
- And he's in there.
JARED QUAY: Night, night, Tom.
Week 9 in the NFL had everything. Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson had record days, with Mahomes surpassing Dan Marino for the fastest QB to throw 101 touchdown passes and Jackson tying Marino for the best start by a quarterback. Damn, they're coming for Marino. His name's going to be completely wiped out of the record books in a couple of years.
- Hi, Dan.
JARED QUAY: The Dallas Cowboys had the undefeated Steelers on the ropes too. And brand-spanking new quarterback Gary Gilbert had a chance to slay Goliath.
- --throws to the end zone, and it's knocked down! And the Steelers, once again, end the game defending a pass in the end zone.
JARED QUAY: Them boys weren't the only ones with a failed game winner though. Justin Herbert had been making plays all day, and he thought he got the W right here.
- Bam! Did he catch it? He did! Touchdown, Donald Parham!
JARED QUAY: Only to have the referees reverse the call and take the touchdown away from the Bolts.
- Ooh.
- Ooh.
- That is an incomplete pass.
JARED QUAY: Victory snatched from their hands again. The Bills are now 7 and 2 as Josh Allen out-dueled Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, and these guys put up a college basketball score right here.
- Touchdown, Buffalo Bills!
JARED QUAY: And the Bears are who we thought they were, getting beat by the Titans for their third straight L.
- And taking a shot to Brown down field, he makes the catch! And he gets in for the touchdown!
JARED QUAY: Yeah, and they started off real hot too. But shout out to Christian McCaffrey, who returned from injury.
- He will walk in!
JARED QUAY: And Dalvin Cook, who's the best running back in the league this year.
2020 has been, y'all. This year he has been bad for so many of us. But man, this election is already bringing people together.
- Say what now?
JARED QUAY: Draymond Green took to Twitter to offer this olive branch to his old foe, LeBron James. And The King took the branch. Peace, y'all. Peace. I mean, if these two enemies can come together, well, that means there's nothing we can't do as a country.
Man, 2021's going to be a good year. I can see you right now. The NBA's signing a peace agreement at the White House, you know, because they never go. But now they're going to start going every year. In fact, they're going twice a year.
