In this week’s podcast, Matt Verderame and Josh Hill discuss the future of Blake Bortles, Jerry Jones as a moral compass and Week 11’s games.

We’re barreling towards the end of the NFL season, but no one has any idea what is going on. The Eagles and Steelers are the two best teams in either conference, but are they really the best teams? Minnesota is a legit contender, but with Case Keenum are the chances really that good.

Among the topics discussed:

  • The Broncos are in a very bad place (4:45)
  • Do the Vikings re-sign Case Keenum? (12:44)
  • Are the Eagles the best team in the NFC? (14:18)
  • What does Blake Bortles future look like? (16:49)
  • Should Washington make a play for Andy Dalton? (20:53)
  • The Steelers offense is very bad (23:00)
  • Week 11 game-by-game preview (30:25)
