FN's 'Monday Morning Huddle': Big Games, Bigger Blowouts
Football Nation proudly present its 21st episode in Season Three of "Monday Morning Huddle" with host Dave Holcomb. The NFL had three marquee matchups in Week 9, and all of them ended in lopsided scores. The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers each scored 43 points as they captured home victories over their biggest rival. That's not all the two teams had in common. In the third big matchup, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Romo-less Cowboys to remain the only one-loss team in the NFL. In the 'Fourth and Long' segment, Holcomb talks Mark Sanchez replacing Eagles quarterback Nick Foles while he is out with a shoulder injury, the Chargers three-game losing streak and the 49ers .500 record halfway through the 2014 season.
All that and more on this edition of Monday Morning Huddle.
