Dan Fouts on Dennis Miller, Justin Herbert & the Chargers’ BIG Problem

Dan Fouts joins A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray to talk about the new HBO documentary Miller Night Football and the wildly unconventional Monday Night Football broadcast booth featuring Fouts, Al Michaels and comedian Dennis Miller. The documentary revisits Miller's controversial run in the MNF booth beginning in 2000.

Fouts also weighs in on his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers, who are off to an 0-2 start. What is going wrong for Justin Herbert and the Chargers? Fouts believes the team isn't recovering from negative plays early in games — and that those mistakes can create a snowball effect. He also explains what he would tell Herbert if the Chargers quarterback called him looking for advice.

Plus, Fouts talks about his former college team, the Oregon Ducks, ahead of their huge rivalry matchup against No. 12 USC. Oregon enters the game 2-1 while USC is 4-0.

Then Maggie welcomes The Athletic Yankees beat writer Brendan Kuty to discuss the latest drama surrounding Aaron Judge and Aaron Boone. Judge's right calf injury has put his availability for the Yankees' Wild Card Series against Boston in serious doubt. Boone initially said the Yankees were planning as if Judge would not play, while more recent comments have left the door open.
