Summary
Our return to five episodes per week means that the Weekly Hangover is back! Because look, Sundays are busy. We can't possibly talk about every game in the way that we'd like to on our Sunday night recaps. But we do still want to talk about every game. That's what the Hangover is for. In the Week 1 Hangover, Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen get to two games we didn't discuss on Sunday night—the Commanders' 21-6 win over the Giants and the Cardinals' 20-13 win over the Saints. Plus, we listen to some of the best voicemails we got on the TAFS voicemail line on Sunday.

| 1:41.3 | I think it's just a great way to do a deep dive on a few games that we could not hit on the Sunday recap. And over the course of the year, I think it just allows you to be watching more of these teams. Today, we only talked about two games just because I think we're still sorting through some of the scheduling stuff and the timing that this season is going to look like, especially being in the studio.
