    What we learned about Chiefs offense, Dolphins impress in loss & Jessie Bates heads to Jaguars Nov 10, 2026
    Show notes

    The San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions, all of which have seats at the TAFS Contender's Table, picked up wins in workmanlike fashion in Week 9. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen dig into that trio of games on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. But first, the guys have some trade news to discuss, with the Jacksonville Jaguars taking a swing and acquiring safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons.

    Josh Allen & Carson Wentz wear down Vikings defense, Bills win 23-6 Nov 10, 2026
    Show notes

    In the Week 9 preview show, we billed Packers-Patriots as "an absolute shootout." Bills-Vikings was...mostly the opposite of that. Carson Wentz turned the ball over almost as many times as he missed Justin Jefferson. It took three quarters for Josh Allen and the Bills to really find their footing against the Vikings suffocating defense. But in the end, did we actually learn anything new about these teams? Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman break down every silly bit of the Buffalo Bills win over the Minnesota Vikings.

    Week 9 recap: Bears survive, Jordan Love thumps Patriots & WTF NFC South Nov 09, 2026
    Show notes

    Green Bay Packers, welcome to the Contender's Table. There's really no doubt after the thrashing they dropped on the New England Patriots on Sunday. The NFC North, as a whole, is thriving, and that's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman begin the Week 9 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also discuss the high-flying performance by the Cincinnati Bengals offense in Madrid, the Dallas Cowboys sneaking past the Indianapolis Colts, the Los Angeles Chargers hitting rock bottom (maybe) and a whole lot more.

    Week 9 Preview: Will Packers or Patriots establish themselves as a contender? Nov 06, 2026
    Show notes

    The Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots were among the more frustrating teams to start the season, both getting off to slow starts that had us questioning their respective ceilings for 2026. Welp, nevermind about that. They both appear dangerous here in early November, and they square off in what should be one of the best games of Week 9. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman kick off the Week 9 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. After that, the guys dig into five more games and highlight what they want to know coming out of the week.

    Which team will make the wrong all-in trade? Plus, Jonathan Taylor's robust trade market & Lamar Jackson's future Nov 05, 2026
    Show notes

    The Indianapolis Colts had high hopes at last season's trade deadline...so high that they leveraged their future to trade for Sauce Gardner and, well, we all know how that went. So which teams are trying to avoid being the 2026 Colts? Charles Robinson from NFL Blue Book joins Robert Mays to discuss how the Vikings and Giants are at risk of making the wrong all-in move. Plus, a deep dive on Jacoby Brissett and the Baltimore Ravens, including how it may impact Lamar Jackson's future negotiations. And who is making up the robust trade markets for Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs? Details on all of it as we approach the trade deadline.

    30 NFL prospects you need to know ahead of a loaded college football weekend Nov 04, 2026
    Show notes

    Accompanied reading: Dane on Zereoue Williams https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7749432/2026/11/04/nfl-draft-2027-ol-prospects-utah-zereoue-williams/


    College football fans have had November 7 circled since the summer, and with good reason. On paper, this has long looked like the best weekend of the season. Some matchups didn't quite hold up—looking at you, Oregon and Ohio State—but others, such as Kentucky and Tennessee, stepped up to fill the void. Either way, this weekend is stacked with games featuring massive 2027 NFL Draft class talent on both sides. Dane Brugler and Dave Helman give you a primer on what you should be watching from a draft perspective this Saturday on this episode of The Athletic Football Show's Building the Beast.

    Week 8 hangover: Rams get right, Jets impress in a loss & Patriots escape Nov 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Week 8 was the strangest to date this NFL season, so perhaps it's fitting that we kick off this episode of The Athletic Football Show with one of the more unlikely Hangover games of the season: the battle of Los Angeles between the Rams and Chargers. From there, Derrik Klassen and special guest Dan Pizzuta dive into the Las Vegas Raiders' win over the New York Jets, and the New England Patriots' slog of a victory over the Miami Dolphins.

    Week 8 recap: Broncos stunner, WTF Bengals & another lost Ravens season Nov 02, 2026
    Show notes

    The Kansas City Chiefs were one quarter away from taking a commanding lead in the AFC West. Then the Denver Broncos scored 15 straight points, came up with a goal-line stand as the clock struck zeroes, and notched a dramatic comeback win to move to the top of the division. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen, and Dave Helman begin the Week 8 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show. From there, the guys discuss Lamar Jackson's thumb injury, the Detroit Lions' huge win over the Minnesota Vikings, the bizarre back-and-forth between the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning a game without a single pass completion, the latest massive Dallas Cowboys disappointment, and a whole lot more.
