BRADY, BREES IN RACE FOR HALLOWED MARK: As NFL teams jockey for position in the 2019 playoff race, New England quarterback TOM BRADY and New Orleans quarterback DREW BREES have one of the league’s most significant all-time records in their sights: Most career touchdown passes, currently held by PEYTON MANNING (539). Entering Week 14, Brady (535) and Brees (532) have Manning on their radar screens.
 When the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS travel to meet the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS on Sunday (1:00 PM ET, FOX) in a matchup of 10-win teams, one former Eastern Illinois quarterback, the 49ers’ JIMMY GAROPPOLO, will square off against another former Eastern Illinois field general, Saints head coach SEAN PAYTON. Also, the father of 49ers head coach KYLE SHANAHAN, former Raiders, Broncos and Redskins head coach MIKE SHANAHAN, also played at Eastern Illinois, where a serious injury ended his playing career but helped him discover his passion for coaching. The school also produced former Dallas quarterback TONY ROMO.
As the NFL makes its final turn toward the regular-season finish line, each club has just four games remaining, and 26 teams remain in contention for a trip to Super Bowl LIV. Two of those teams, the TENNESSEE TITANS and OAKLAND RAIDERS, battle in a key AFC contest Sunday (4:25 PM ET, CBS).

YOUNG STARS BATTLE IN BALTIMORE: A matchup between two young quarterbacks highlights Week 11 in the NFL as Houston travels to Baltimore (1:00 PM ET, CBS) on Sunday. Houston quarterback DESHAUN WATSON and Baltimore quarterback LAMAR JACKSON are the first two players with at least 15 passing touchdowns, five rushing touchdowns and a passer rating of 100 or higher through their team’s first nine games of a season in NFL history.
With two passing touchdowns on Sunday against Baltimore, Watson would become the fifth player in NFL history to have at least 20 passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns through his team’s first 10 games of a season in NFL history. Two of the past three players to accomplish the feat earned the Associated Press Most Valuable Player award that season.
Tampa Bay wide receivers MIKE EVANS (924 receiving yards) and CHRIS GODWIN (840) rank second and fourth in receiving yards, respectively, in the NFL this season.
If Godwin has at least 60 receiving yards on Sunday against New Orleans (1:00 PM ET, FOX), Evans and Godwin would become the fourth pair of teammates each with at least 900 receiving yards through their team’s first 10 games of a season in NFL history.

Special Guest: Former 2 time Pro Bowler, LB Pittsburgh Steelers Levon Kirkland
Week 11 got off to a very interesting start on Thursday night between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. Although many will only remember the last minute of that game, the Browns executed a pretty decent game plan to beat Pittsburgh. 
We invited former Pittsburgh Steelers LB and Pro Bowler Levon Kirkland on the show to discuss the 2019 Steelers , Mason Rudolph, Mike Tomlin and of course what happened in the final minute of game with the Steelers and Browns. Levon Kirkland also shared what he's been doing lately. A great interview with one of the best LB's to ever play the game.
