| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show, brought to you by Thursday Night Football only on Prime Video. |
| 0:09.3 | I'm Robert Mays. What a week in the NFL. I feel really bad about me not believing in this slate of games heading into the weekend because it was probably the most fun NFL Sunday that we've had all year. |
| 0:21.3 | We kicked off this week, me and Derek Klessin talking about a wild game in Washington, |
| 0:26.3 | a heartbreaking loss for the Bears, but a game they probably didn't deserve to win anyway. |
| 0:30.5 | Talked about the Eagles, big win over the Bengals, the Eagles grabbing our attention, |
| 0:34.1 | the passing offense looking as good as it's looked all season. |
| 0:37.5 | The first place Cardinals in the NFC West chatted about their big win over the Miami Dolphins, |
| 0:43.3 | discussed the bills shalacking the Seattle Seahawks in a big win for Buffalo, |
| 0:49.5 | chatted about a weird game for the Jets and what that means for their season, |

| 1:26.7 | Literally from like 10 a.m. kickoff until, I mean, you know, this Sunday night game wasn't great. |
| 1:27.7 | But really up until that, |
| 1:28.2 | it was about as action-packed as it could get. My goodness, the end of that noon slate. It's noon for me. It's 10 a.m. for you. Every single game seemed like it was close. I mean, the game that was, you could argue, was the best game in that early slate was Eagles, Bengals, and that was one of the only blowouts that we got in the on the entire day.
