Pittsburgh Rolls Over Miami, but is a Division Title Nearing?

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0000

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, the Pittsburgh Steelers are probably going to finish the season above .500. Again. And if you believe in what you saw on the field in their 28-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, you might think that the Steelers have a chance to win a postseason game for the first time in a long time.

Justin Herbert Leads the Chargers to an Overtime Win Against the Eagles | The Bill Barnwell Show

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0000

Monday night’s clash between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles wasn’t the most efficient game of week 14, but it certainly wasn’t boring. That’s because Justin Herbert played through the pain of a surgically repaired left hand, and battled through seven sacks, to lead the home team to a 22-19 thriller of a win in overtime.

And while that win helps the Chargers in their pursuit of a playoff spot, the question remains, how do Jim Harbaugh balance his quarterback’s health, with his team’s postseason push?

For the Eagles and Jalen Hurts, it was a forgettable effort that leaves many of us asking, just who is this team really? Because when you can’t play bully ball and turn the ball over FIVE TIMES, are you truly a championship contender?

Ben Baby joins the pod to break down all of the action from the final game of week 14 on the Bill Barnwell Show.

00:00 – Welcome to the Bill Barnwell Show

02:51 – Chargers defeat the Eagles 22-19 in an OT thriller

06:25 – Jalen Hurts and the Eagles can’t overcome mistakes

15:27 – Are the Eagles in freefall?

18:55 – Why aren’t the Eagles playing like champions?

21:04 – Justin Herbert’s heroics put the Chargers over the top

28:01 – How should the Chargers balance Herbert’s health and their playoff push?

34:05 – Are these the 2023 Eagles, the 2024 Eagles, or something else entirely?

The 49ers Grind Out a Win Over the Panthers on Monday Night Football

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:00:00 -0000

The San Francisco 49ers were able to survive three first half interceptions from Brock Purdy on their way to a 20-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football.

With the quarterback putting the ball in danger, San Francisco turned to the ever reliable Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle to pull away in the second half.

The Niners defense turned up the heat on Bryce Young and found a way to get the win in week 12.

Bill Barnwell and Charlie Kravitz, of the Domonoique Foxworth Show, look at: whether or not Mac Jones is truly a threat to the Brock Purdy era, if the Panthers should tie their future to Bryce Young, and examine what life is like the the era of the ‘middle class franchise QB."

Monday Night Football Recap: Did the Chiefs Second Half Takeoff 💥Send the Commanders into Sell Mode?

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0000

The final score in the Monday Night Football clash between the victorious Kansas City Chiefs, and the now 3-5 Washington Commanders doesn't tell the whole story. Because this was a 7-7 game at halftime, with a Washington team that looked like it had a chance.

So today, CBS Sports senior NFL writer, Will Brinson and Bill Barnwell break down the game, and look towards the future for these two teams.
