Why did Mike Tomlin go “Lone Ranger” and start Russell Wilson?

As reported by Dianna Russini over the weekend, the Dolphins are moving to get Tua Tagovailoa back on the field as early as next Sunday. Dianna and Chase Daniel explore what risks he and the team are taking by returning to action so quickly after he suffered the third diagnosed concussion of his career in September. They also discuss what went into Mike Tomlin’s decision to start Russell Wilson at quarterback this weekend and how it paid off, what’s next for the Jets after their second primetime loss in a week, and who should be sellers at the trade deadline. Plus, they check in with The Athletic’s Vikings beat reporter, Alec Lewis, about what’s been going on behind the scenes with a team that’s been one of the surprise stories of the 2024season. And they end the show with a new segment about who in the league has a right to be petty as we kick off the week.
