The Dan Le Batard Show

What in the ever-living hell just happened? Our best guess is we’ll look back on this week as the wildest week of the 2026 season. Think about it: Baker Mayfield won a game against his arch-nemesis Kevin Stefanski without completing a single pass. That’s the first time a team has blanked a team solely on the ground since the Steelers beat the Bears in 1945. Then Gardner Minshew II pulled up like Aragorn in jorts to beat the Cowboys in Texas. Somewhere Mike Leach is smiling down from above. And we haven’t even gotten to the Ravens dying in Buffalo, the Broncos outsmarting Andy Reid at the goal line, and the Lions pulling out some Canadian Football League moves to beat the Vikings. Absolute bonkers week. Ten-Day Tony and our NIL signee Nick Kostos are here to get it all on record. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
