00:00This is not to overlook the Bucks and the Chargers, which is still a very, very good
00:07game.
00:08We have two teams that are pushing towards the playoffs.
00:10And I have to say, I think this game is specifically important for the Buccaneers.
00:17Chargers are coming off of a loss.
00:18We obviously know that they are right now sitting in the sixth seed for the AFC.
00:23Now, why is this an important game for the Bucks specifically?
00:26Because ultimately, the Bucks have been trending up for a while.
00:29They're on a three-game win streak.
00:31Who's chasing them in the standings?
00:33Well, the Falcons are chasing them in the standings.
00:36And if we look ahead to next week, it's not a Sunday game, but it's a doubleheader on
00:40Monday.
00:41The Falcons are playing the Raiders.
00:43And we all have our thoughts about Kirk Cousins.
00:46Should he be starting?
00:48Should they bring in Michael Panix?
00:50What are they going to be doing?
00:51The Falcons are better than the Raiders.
00:53That's what it comes down to.
00:54The Falcons may not be a great team, but they are better than the Raiders.
00:57Now, there is some news with the Raiders.
00:59You know, yesterday, after the Raiders-Bucs game, there were some reports that Aiden O'Connell,
01:04apparently, after he got carted off in an air cast yesterday at the Bucs, that it was
01:09feared to be a season-ending injury for him.
01:13Apparently, that is not the case for Aiden O'Connell, and that he is holding out hope
01:17that he could still play on Monday night against the Falcons.
01:20If it is not him, it is going to be Desmond Ritter at the helm for the Raiders, who has
01:25seen some game time here or there throughout the season with the various injuries to Aiden
01:30O'Connell and Gardner Minshew.
01:31And we know that Minshew is done for the season with a broken collarbone.
01:35So the Bucs, so to circle back on all this, this Chargers-Bucs game is actually massive
01:42because the Chargers are a good team.
01:45And I think the Bucs need to bring the full effort for this game, because if the Falcons
01:49win and the Bucs lose, well, it just makes the NFC South that much tighter.
01:55And it will put the teams both at 7-7, and that's not where, obviously, either team wants
02:01to be.
02:02The Falcons would love to be there, but that's not where the Bucs want to be.
02:05But the Bucs do have a favorable end to the season in the last two games they played,
02:09the Panthers and the Saints, and those could be winnable games for them.
