NFL Week 4 Rewind | Falcons-Saints MNF Preview — Coach and Company Monday 10/5/26

Mikey P swore Tyson Bagent would start for the Bears. Coach rolls the tape: Case Keenum took the first snap against the Jets, handed off once, and Ben Johnson said afterward that he'd read "all these memos" saying Bagent was starting, so he sent Keenum out for a "ceremonial first pitch" (PFT). Bagent played the rest of the 23-12 win, and Kyle Monangai carried 30 times. Mikey P counters that Coach is the brand's Case Keenum and he's the one getting the torch. Then Sunday night: Bryce Young threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns and Tetairoa McMillan caught 14 passes for 192 as the Panthers beat the Lions 32-26 (ESPN). Mikey P says Dan Campbell's seat is "very, very hot." Coach says it's scorching and tears into Campbell's late fourth-down call, and both hosts say Detroit hasn't been the same since Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn left. Mikey P notes the 4-0 Vikings are just the third team ever to start 4-0 without a touchdown in two of those games.The Weekend Rewind. Mikey P's surprise is Jameis Winston, who threw three touchdowns in a 36-24 win over the Cardinals sealed by Deonte Banks' 98-yard pick-six (New York Giants), then credited "unwavering faith." Coach's surprise is CeeDee Lamb (17 catches, 189 yards) getting loose for the decisive touchdown in Dallas' 34-30 win in Houston (NFL.com). Mikey P's disappointment is the Bills losing 29-26 at home to the Patriots on Josh Allen's late interception (NFL.com), and Coach asks whether Allen is becoming Jim Kelly. Coach's disappointment is the Broncos, who cut it to 17-14 before George Kittle's long touchdown put the 49ers at 4-0 (ESPN). A Super Chat on the Cowboys' defense leads to Mikey P's case for new corner Joey Porter Jr., then the Giants at 3-1, the Eagles' loss to the Rams, and Mikey P's idea that Jalen Hurts should pull a Mr. McMahon on Nick Sirianni.Gridiron Time is the Falcons at the Saints on Monday Night Football, 20 years after the Superdome reopened with Steve Gleason's blocked punt (New Orleans Saints). Coach likes the Falcons in teasers and Michael Penix Jr. over his passing total; Mikey P likes the over behind Bijan Robinson, with Travis Etienne Jr. on IR for New Orleans. The line was Saints -2.5, total 48.5 at last check, and the winner ties Carolina for first in the NFC South. Picks are the hosts' opinions, and lines move. Coach and Mikey P close on a Super Chat about Josh Allen, then UFC 332 in Salt Lake City: 11 knockouts, nine in the first round, and Natália Silva winning the vacant flyweight title (Yahoo Sports), plus the stacked UFC 335 card on Dec. 12 (theScore).Housekeeping: The Coach and Bro is at 2 PM ET today, and the Monday Night Grind is at 7 PM ET tonight with the full panel, best bets and Coach's Superdome story.
