    Takes the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders as their best half of the season - Stafford 17 of 19 for three scores, Kyren Williams 99 yards, tight ends finally used - then pivots to the roster's depth problem after a week of injuries and calls the Raiders a draft away.

  2. Nightcap, 2026-10-26 (0:01 to 8:40)
    Breaks down Stafford's record and the Raiders' skid
    Breaks down the Rams' 35-21 win through the run game and Stafford's place in the record book, then turns to the Raiders' four-game skid and whether Cousins should give way to Mendoza. The stat line differs from the halftime-heavy first read, and the Cousins quote is new to the record.

    Debates whether the win means a turnaround
    Debates whether the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders means they have turned the corner. Irvin credits the run game and Stafford managing the game; Smith pumps the brakes, noting the Raiders have lost four straight and the Rams' post-bye schedule is the real test. Reaction and framing, no new reporting.

    Recaps the Rams' win and the injury list
    Overreaction segment on the Rams' win in Las Vegas: the Williams-Corum tandem, Aaron Donald's 46 snaps, Miles Garrett practicing and the injury list. The trade-for-a-receiver argument is opinion, and the rest retells what the week already had.

    Highlights Williams and Corum's record backfield day

    Reacts to Stafford's franchise record

  7. The Pat McAfee Show, 2026-10-26 (20:25 to 33:01)
    Interviews Stafford on passing Gabriel

    Breaks down the Rams' back-to-basics win over the Raiders: under center on 69% of snaps, runs on 56%, a 53% play-action rate and a 60% rushing success rate.

    Argues the roster is top-heavy and thin
    Pulls the special teams lowlights from the Raiders win and plays McVay's Monday comments, then argues the roster is top-heavy and thin on the back end. The new material is the return yardage allowed against Las Vegas and McVay's on-record admission.
