Rich previews tonight’s pivotal NFC West matchup between the Rams and Seahawks and explains why he’s leaning toward a Seattle home win over Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay. In his latest ‘4 Downs’ segment Rich weighs in on how those crazy Week 1 losses by the Bills and Packers look in hindsight, if the Colts still have a shot to win the AFC South, which unexpected receiver has emerged as one of the Falcons' most dangerous weapons, and if the Bengals will be in the playoff hunt at the end of the season. CBS Sports NFL Analyst and former Raiders CEO Amy Trask tells Rich why she would fire Urban Meyer for “a glaring lack of leadership” if she were in the Jaguars’ front office, if there’s any way the embattled head coach can regain the trust of his team, and where the NFL’s crackdown on Taunting originated.

Rich reacts to Urban Meyer’s latest comments on why he decided not to fly home with the team after the Jaguars Thursday Night Football loss to the Bengals and explains why his explanation only leads to more questions.
