| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:06.1 | I'm Robert May's. |
| 0:06.9 | Divisional Round Weekend is here. |
| 0:08.8 | The best football weekend of the year, in my opinion, and we broke down all of it with |
| 0:13.8 | me and Derek Klesson. |
| 0:15.3 | All four games from this weekend started with the Bill's massive win over the Baltimore |
| 0:19.7 | Ravens. |
| 0:20.2 | Obviously, everyone was pumped about that game. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, everything on the line. It lived up to the billing.

| 1:10.5 | How are you feeling right now? |
| 1:11.7 | My heart's still racing a little bit. I mean, we wanted this game, this last game, the Sunday night game, to be something to remember. And the fact that it goes down to literally the last play, I'm going to remember it for a while. So I'm still feeling pretty jumpy. |
| 1:24.8 | I have a wall of notes in a document and and I'm very ill-prepared to have |
| 1:29.3 | this conversation in a concise and organized way, but let's get to it. We might as well |
