Episode Description

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their discussion on the Colorado Buffaloes and debate if they need a win this weekend to keep their bowl hopes alive. We pivot to the Broncos and preview their huge Sunday Night Football matchup this weekend with the Rams. What are the guys' initial thoughts on the "superteam" Rams after their 1-1 start to the season? If Puka Nacua plays this weekend, how should the Broncos match up Pat Surtain and Riley Moss on Davante Adams and Nacua? Will PS2 travel and shadow Davante wherever he goes on the field? We hear from Sean Payton on the recently revealed "cold war" story between Mike MacDonald and Payton. We react to Paul Bissonnette saying he doesn't see it with the Avalanche this season. Did the Avs miss their chance to win a second cup in this era? We wrap up the show with Aniello Piro joining the show to share his thoughts on Courtland Sutton's slow start to the season, a very injured Broncos running back room, and more.
