The 2-5 Baltimore Ravens just may morph themselves into the AFC's most feared team.

Lamar Jackson waited a little longer. His hamstring is healed. And now? This schedule softens up, starting with a game Thursday night against the Miami Dolphins.

Here's a quick solo pod taking a look at the quarterback and the team that has a realistic chance at running the table. I also mentioned Jackson's private QB coach at one point. Those previous pods can be heard here and here.

This 2025 Minnesota Vikings is now all about one man: quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The pressure's on... especially with how Sam Darnold is playing in Seattle and Daniel Jones is playing in Indianapolis. Both players were in the Vikings' building last season.

Not to mention, Bo Nix is lighting it up for the Denver Broncos. He was an option in the 2024 draft.

To get answers on everything McCarthy, I'm joined by Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. In theory, the Vikings have the right coaches, the right weaponry and even a pair of solid tackles. Operating on McCarthy's rookie contract, they made a point to pay up for players in free agency, too.

Things haven't gone according to plan. The Vikings are now in danger of falling out of the playoff race early. They play at Detroit this week.

Above all, they need to figure out if McCarthy is their guy. Nothing matters more. Coller supplies fantastic insight on the inexperienced quarterback who's finally healthy from a high ankle sprain.

For all of the talk about Aaron Rodgers into Packers-Steelers on SNF, this was always a Jordan Love moment... and he delivered. Here on the Go Long Podcast, I'm joined by Peter Bukowski of The Leap and Locked On Packers to make sense of Love torching the Steelers. We've been in on this quarterback for a long time.

Miss our column at Go Long on the game? Here's my take on Brian Gutekunst, Love and the Packers.

On the pod, we drive the conversation forward. Patience paid off. The Super Bowl is officially the bar year-in and year-old for this team. It's time to let Love, the $55 million man, cook in this Matt LaFleur offense.
