In a highly controversial take, the hosts propose that even if Patrick Mahomes is healthy, the Kansas City Chiefs should start Justin Fields for the entire month of September. The rationale is to protect Mahomes and navigate a potentially soft early-season schedule with Fields, who has a history of strong September performances.
