Congrats to the Broncos!
Not only was it a huge win with the Broncos defense absolutely shutting down what had been the best offense in the NFL, but there were a few fun firsts:
- Rookie WR Pat Bryant first career TD
- Rookie CB Jahdae Barron first career INT
- Rookie LB/rusher Dondrea Tillman first career INT
Also, QB Bo Nix became one of just a handful of folks to have 3 four-touchdown-pass games in his first two seasons.

The Packers went to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers. The last time that happened, Bart Starr was the QB of the Packers (in 1970): Jordan Love, Packers Win Historic Matchup Against Aaron Rodgers, Steelers
I was at the game, working the sideline mic for KOA, and went on to the field after the game to take some pictures for Susie Wargin as she interviewed Troy Franklin. As I was about to leave, Dondrea Tillman walked by me. I said to him, "That was awesome...you sure don't see THAT ever day!" And he smiled and said, "No, you sure don't."
This was also fun: I wore my Jack Carr hat (logo of two crossed Winkler tomahawks). A camera caught me in front of the jumbotron (I think) or anyway whatever it was, I ended up on TV. A person who doesn't know me recognized the hat and tweeted it out, tagging Jack Car.

Dan Mitchell is a PhD economist and co-founder of the Center for Liberty and Prosperity. He pays closer attention to Argentina's politics and economy than anyone else I know and he joins us to talk about the unexpectedly great results in yesterday's midterm elections in Argentina. I note that the betting odds had it wrong until late in the counting...much like Trump vs Clinton in 2016.
