Welcome to the athletic football show, presented by YouTube and YouTube TV, the new home of NFL Sunday ticket. I'm Robert Mays. Join to me today. It's my good friend Nate Tice. Nate, how you doing, buddy? Doing great. We're going for the Blair Witch Vives this week, huh? With you with your video? Are you so scared right now? As long as it's somewhat well lit, that's all we're trying to do here on the road. I am currently... You said you brought one light with the air to... Lights. I got two little lights next to me. So this is my road set up. I am in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, kind of near the tail end of my training camp travel spent today with the Steelers, which is really enjoyable. Got a couple more NFC North teams next week, and then I will be home, much to my wife's delight,

1:30.0

and much to, I think, our producers as well

1:32.4

as we get back on a semi-regular schedule.

1:34.9

But it's been fun to visit these teams,

1:37.4

and it's been fun to dig into all of these previews.

1:39.3

We are doing the AFC East today.

1:42.7

Best division in the league?

2:01.0

Might be. It might be. I kind of think it is. Yeah. For our top 10 shows. I mean, that's a good way to kind of narrow it down. And I think it might be. The AFC North is really good. I think the NFC East has some good teams in it. But top to bottom, I just feel like this is probably the best one.

2:06.0

The Patriots are, I think, pretty clearly, the fourth best team in the division, and they might have the best defense in football.

2:17.7

That's all you need to know about the other teams that we're going to be talking about today. All four defenses might finish the top 10 defense and three of the offenses have like good, good, good a chance or two of them for sure. And then other interesting ones I've or maybe one interesting one with with some question marks as well but

2:21.7

it's like that then there is like that's a lot of good units six out of eight units could be

2:25.9

top 10 units that's pretty pretty good place to start for a division two of the offenses were

2:30.0

top 10 last year and one added one of the five or six greatest quarterbacks of all time,

2:34.6

who's two years removed from winning the MVP award. So there's some talent in this division.

2:38.4

I think that's safe to say. Let's start with, I think still the favorite in this division,

2:42.8

even though things have changed and the landscape has kind of shifted a little bit.

2:46.4

And that is the Buffalo Bills. Get into our 2023 preview for the Buffalo Bills. A year ago, around this time,
