In this episode:
* The hosts break down the "ugly wins" from Week 1, including the Broncos' win despite two interceptions from Bo Nix and the Buccaneers' victory over the Falcons by a missed FG.
* A look at Aaron Rodgers' surprising performance, where he threw four touchdowns against his former team, the New York Jets.
* Discussion on the Cleveland Browns' dominant defensive performance against the Bengals, allowing only seven net yards of total offense in the second half but still losing the game.
* An analysis of why the Chiefs' secondary is a "major concern", with breakdowns of miscommunications and busted coverage rotations.
* A Coach's Corner schematic deep dive, including how the Packers' defense dismantled the Lions' offense and the “new” blitz packages the Colts' defense used against Miami.
