Show notes
We've talked a lot in recent weeks about how every NFL season is going to throw us its fair share of curveballs. There are constants, however, and one of the most constant of the constants is Bills-Chiefs Game of the Week. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman begin the Week 9 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys give the "One Thing From..." treatment to Falcons-Patriots, Colts-Steelers and Broncos-Texans, take a stroll down Sicko Street with Saints-Rams and Bears-Bengals, and ponder this question: Has it turned out that the Vikings actually had the worst offseason in the league?Rundown (timestamps are approximate)5:12 It's Bills-Chiefs Week33:03 The diverging paths taken by the Patriots and Falcons41:22 The Colts and Steelers show us the duality of believing you're "a QB away"47:28: Texans offense vs. Broncos defense53:38 Taking stock of the AFC Wild Card picture1:05:37 Sicko Street: Saints-Rams...and not for the reason you'd think1:12:44 Sicko Street: The Bears better be able to score against this Bengals defense1:16:00 Take Tribunal: The Vikings made the wrong bet this offseason1:31:08 What do you wanna know in Week 9?Host: Robert MaysCo-Hosts: Derrik Klassen and Dave HelmanExecutive Producer: Michael BellerVideo Producer: Katy DuffyAudio Producer: Michael BellerSocial Producer: Scott KrinchFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.socialFollow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.socialFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Derrik on X: @QBKlassFollow Dave on X: @davehelman_Theme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.
