Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Cleveland Browns have mistreated Shedeur Sanders from the moment he was drafted so it should be no shock that he was not given a fair shot at the starting quarterback position. Sanders will get his chance to start this weekend, but will not be flanked by the starters when he faces the Buffalo Bills, like Deshaun Watson got to experience. The former coach of the Browns, Kevin Stefanski, is not dealing with a much better situation as he now leads the Atlanta Falcons. Whether it be injuries or poor play, nothing is going right for the Falcons as of late after they got smoked by the Indianapolis Colts in a scrimmage this week. The Chicago Bears put up 37 points last week and looks to keep rolling as the Cincinnati Bengals look to get their well-regarded offense off the ground. Finally, two interesting games for quarterback purposes. The Baltimore Ravens against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New York Jets. How much of Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray will we see in the first game and then which young quarterbacks out of Will Howard, Drew Allar and Cade Klubnik will perform best?

The NFL season draws near and it is PLAYOFFS OR BUST for many teams. This includes essentially every team in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Washington Commanders all looking to get back into the dance, but the Giants shouldn't be judged quite on that scale just yet. In the AFC, the Indianapolis Colts have tremendous pressure from ownership to get to the postseason this year and that is quite the tough task in a competitive AFC. An AFC that includes both the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens who cannot afford another miss. Finally, back in the NFC, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all in for 2026 while two teams in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, view themselves as potential division winners, not just playoff attendees.

Elsewhere, heated training camp battles spark fights for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Cleveland Browns quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders takes center stage—who will claim the starting spot? The episode also breaks down a puzzling Daniel Faalele trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars, updates on Alvin Kamara’s injury status for the New Orleans Saints, and previews how rookies like Mansour Delane could impact the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive prospects.
