Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Week 3 Takeaways

2. Week 3 Honors

-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Dave Canales/Andy Dalton, Hal: Brian Flores)

-Dunce of the Week (DKrom: Shane Waldron, Hal: Luke Getsy)

3. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not worried at all, to 10 being "full scale panic")...how worried are you about the 49ers right now?

4. Would you be shocked or surprised if the Commanders are either 5-4 or 6-3 by Week 10?

5. Truth or Exaggeration

-Jessie Bates was the linchpin of the Bengals defense in 2021 and 2022...and the unit has fallen off a cliff mostly because of his departure

-The absence of Pro Bowl C Erik McCoy these next 6-8 weeks will significantly hurt Alvin Kamara and the Saints ground attack

-Both Jaguars GM Trent Baalke and head coach Doug Pederson are on scorching hot seats right now

-The Dallas Cowboys will not make the playoffs this year

-With both starting OT's highly unlikely to be available this week plus a bye next week, the Chargers should rest Justin Herbert for Sunday's battle against the Chiefs

-Giants WR Malik Nabers will be a consensus top-10 player at his position by season's end

-Justin Fields will be the Steelers starting QB for the remainder of 2024...and beyond

-Either the Packers or Vikings will be the 2024 NFC North champion
