RAMS OVER EAGLES⁉️ Canty & Saturday LAMBAST Stephen’s A-List of top-5 NFL teams 🗣️ | First Take

Ah, what’s up everybody? What’s going on? The A-list is here. Week 11 in the books. Okay, top five teams in the NFL after week 11. Keep in mind the list is fluid. The list is fluid. Okay, that’s right. It does absolve me from nonsense. The fluidity. Okay, but it ain’t nonsense cuz this list is going to be big time. Let’s go to number five on the list. Please give it to me right now. Bam. The Denver Broncos. They won eight straight round. They’re top the AFC West. Okay. They actually showed that they could do something offensively before the fourth quarter arrived the other day. Okay, they beat the Nemesis Kansas City Chiefs who were in a must-win situation. Okay, their defense is big time. That’s without Cert Tan being out there by the way. Okay, you got McMillan coming out of there getting two sacks, getting an interception, balling. Think about what Denver can do and Shawn Payeyton is coaching them. Got to give credit where credit is due. I got them as a top five team right now. They need to be on that list. A top the AFC West. They’re going to win a division. They just ain’t top four right now. Give it to me, please. Bam. Listen, Sam Donald was god awful. God awful. But I want y’all to think about this. After giving up some points in the first quarter, LA had one yard in the second quarter. They couldn’t get past midfield against that Seattle defense unless it was a turnover that chat that Sam Donald caused. They were still in a position after four interceptions to win the damn game. Seattle is legit. We got to give credit where credit is due. They were on the road. They came into the game 11 and one on the road before they lost this game. I got to give love where it’s due. They’re formidable. Despite the loss, I got them top four. They just ain’t top three. Give it to me right now. Bam. Right here. The New England Patriots. Wow. Drake May, Mike Vrabel, and this team and how they’ve resurrected themselves is enough. But then you look at this schedule. They might win 13 games, y’all. They might be. The road to the Super Bowl might have to go through Foxboro. We can’t poo poo that. All right. We’ve already seen what they’ve been able to do. Got to give them love where it’s due. I got them top three. Not top two though. Give it to me right here, please. Bam. The reigning defending Super Bowl champions. They just find a way somehow some way. Whether they score, they’re not scoring. Okay? Whether you need a stop, whether you need something on special teams, whether you need Jaylen Herz running or throwing a football, whether you need JJ Brown catching a pass, seven receptions for 49 yards, just seven yards of carry. Devonte Smith, one reception for five yards and they still win the damn game. They’re just inventing new ways to win. Winning 24 of their last 27 games. At some point, when you just keep winning, okay? I can’t get you lower than two. But if you’re not impressive and you’re doing it in ugly fashion, I can’t put you at number one. I got to put this team in number one right here. Wow. Los Angeles Rams. You can say what you want, but that brother Matthew Stafford is something special. Kairen Williams could ball. Puka Nu is there. Okay, you got the out there. Oh, by the way, okay, let’s also take into account a defense that we don’t talk enough about in Los Angeles and what is doing with them right now. I’m looking at them right now and yes, the Colts I kept out of it. Yes, I did it on purpose. just for now because guess what? I’m not sold on Daniel Jones. I’m just not. Okay, I’m looking at them right now. I’ve got here you have it. The Rams, the Eagles, the Patriots, the Seahawks, and the Denver Broncos. Stephen A, you just undermined your own argument with the Seahawks and the Rams. How you going to put the Rams number one when they had four takeaways and still and still almost lost the game at the How you going to have you do that senseable? Well, I’m just here’s the other part that don’t make sense. This team beat this team that was weeks ago. This this team beat this team. How the hell have the Eagles under the Rams? Yeah. All All the Eagles do is beat all the good teams. That’s all they do. Four of the top five teams when it comes to shortest odds, the winning. The Eagles have already beat them. But they look they don’t look dominant, but they don’t lose. Did they look dominant? They had four turnovers and should have lost on a field goal. Their defense looked dominant. I have a problem. So does this one. They back to back week. They ain’t let the the Packers Lions get the double digits. Back to back week. Who would you put? Hey, just look at him. Look at the camera. Tell him you’re wrong. Stephen A. Tell him you’re wrong. He was wrong. He was wrong. Tell what y’all trying to say. Who would you put one? The Eagles are number one. Eagles are one. The Eagles are number one. Eagles are one. Listen. Colts two. Really? Colts are two. But we haven’t seen that. They had, you know, you got to stop that homemis. I mean, come on, man. and Warren Pitman. They look they are loaded up. Their defense is playing better. The Patriots do what they do. This makes love. Yeah, you got to switch those two. You got to switch those two. He don’t even have the top five. Hold on. They’re on a buy. We’ll get to them. I tried to tell Stephen A month ago about the Broncos, but that’s not a norm. Better defense. I think you’d be proud more. So, I would flip-flop for So, you trust Bo Knicks more? Bo Nicks just played his best game as a pro against Kansas City on Sunday. I trust him more. We’ve been lamenting what they’ve been doing offensively for weeks. See, I trust him more cuz I trust his coach more, too. Yeah, coach. I trust his coach more, too. They got eight receivers that have caught a touchdown pass. Yeah. Nine guys with double digit reception. Decreate. All right. So, let’s recreate the list here. We’d go Eagles one. I don’t scrape that, but if you guys want Patriots two, no. Ram Rams too. I would have the Rams. Okay. So, we flip-flop this. You guys made a big stew about the Rams. Whatever. Eagles, Rams, Patriots, we like a three. Yes. Broncos, we’d go to four. Seahawks five or Colts five. I would say Seahawks five. Oh, no chance. No chance. You’d put the Colts. Oh, absolutely. Listen, I think the Colts are more B. I mean, you just said it about your quarterback, right? Like the real issue with the list is the Colts. Listen, this is the biggest one for me. Why? Cuz people want to Why is that a big deal? Let me say this about the Eagles, bro. 40 and Nick Serriani is 40 and2 in one score games. Everybody has told me, Everybody has told me how, oh, this offense can’t win it. They can’t do They don’t care, bro. They just find ways to win. Their defense played Green Bay and Detroit back to back. It’s their recollection. At no time this year did you have the coach at number one? Did you have the coach at number one? So, so you didn’t make that argument then. The Eagles didn’t win again. You didn’t make that argument then. Two. No, I’m just saying you didn’t make that argument about the Eagles then. They didn’t win, right? I did. Why? Why? Why is somebody Why is such Zi smiling cuz he know he got caught. Why is Why do you have a team at number one above the Eagles if that’s what you’re saying? They’ve been winning, right? What I’m telling you is after the Colts lost to Pittsburgh, I had to bump them down a little bit. I took them to four and now they work their way up. They go to Berlin, get a win, they get a buy, they get fresh. Now we bumped up two more, one and two. Should the Colts be on the Yes, they should go. Oh my word. And next week, yes. Okay, let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. The Patriots beat the Bills and they beat the Bucks. Two two good teams, right? They beat two. Okay. So, if the Patriots lined up against the Colts today, you would pick the Patriots. You would pick the Patriots, Seahawks, and Broncos over the Colts if they’re all playing. If the Patriots line up against the Colts, yes, right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I think he’s great in Berlin and I just You would say that here. You’re not objective.

On First Take, Stephen A. Smith shares his “Stephen’s A-List” of the top five teams in the NFL after Week 11 with Chris Canty, Jeff Saturday and Shae Cornette.
