The NFL has made a couple of changes to the Week 8 schedule, putting the battle between the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks of this year’s draft in a more prominent viewing window.

Bears at Commanders, originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 27, will now be played at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS. That makes it likely that the No. 1 broadcast team headed by Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be on the call.

With that, the NFL has flexed Eagles at Bengals to 1 p.m. on CBS.

The primetime games for Week 8 all remain the same. The Vikings will visit the Rams on Thursday, Oct. 24. Dallas will play at San Francisco for Sunday Night Football. And the Giants will play at the Steelers on Monday, Oct. 28.

I've seen a lot of Daniels this year, but I haven't seen Williams play at all except for highlights. This will be fun to watch.

ITs early, but one or both these kids is going to be the future Staubach or Michael Vick of the league. Some high ceiling QB's coming out next year too. ITs quite the machine...

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

And there were people writing Caleb off after like 2 games ha. In general, most if not all of the rookie QBs who are playing this year are doing well enough to look like they belong in there. Can't wait to see Penix and McCarthy get their eventual shots.

It's early. They shouldn't have been written off, but I think it's too early to say whether or not they'll have a long career in the NFL. Daniels looks pretty good, but Williams I'm not convinced on. He put up some yards against Jax and Carolina, but what happens when he plays a team with a defense?

I was driving back from the vet this morning, listening to ESPN radio. The hyperbole is off the charts nuts. Now Williams is the best.....3 weeks ago Chicago drafted another 'bust'. Jayden Daniels is on his way to the "Hall of Fame" (yes, this was said this morning on whatever national crew is working the morning radio shift on ESPN radio). This was a short drive, less than 10 minutes each way, and the amount of overreactions packed into that timeframe was amazing. Build you up to tear you down and vice versa. Obviously this overhype formula works with certain age groups.

Overreacting is their bread and butter especially at ESPN
