The guys then move on to our Week 10 Game of the Week, Steelers at Commanders. They also discuss the Falcons offense, the Eagles defense, sneaky worries over Sam Darnold, disappointment with the Texans, Christian McCaffrey's likely return, and a whole lot more.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show, brought to you by Thursday Night Football only on |
| 0:08.0 | Prime Video. I am Robert Mays. Really fun show for you guys today. The week 10 preview is here. |
| 0:14.1 | Before we did that, though, we hit one of the best Thursday night games in recent memory, an absolute |
| 0:18.5 | fireworks show between Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson |
| 0:21.5 | and Baltimore. One of the best Thursday night games I can remember having to react to since I |
| 0:25.7 | started doing this job and we started recapping these games. Such an incredible performance |
| 0:29.9 | for both of those quarterbacks from Jamar Chase. Just excellent stuff across the board. Really |
| 0:33.7 | enjoyed chatting about that with Derek Klasin. Then we got into some of the best matchups from week 10. Started off with the game of the week between Washington and Pittsburgh, which again, obviously we all predicted in August that that's the game that we would be circling the first weekend of November. Really enjoyed talking about that one. Chat a little bit about what's been disappointing about the Texans defense or offense, if they've been the most disappointing unit in the NFL so far this year. |
| 0:55.0 | Did a little under the hood about the Falcons offense, which is really coming together right now. |

| 1:23.7 | We've had some real gems and this one really stands out from the rest. What a fucking |
| 1:28.8 | game. Oh my God. That was, I don't know if it's hyperbolic, but that was truly one of the |
| 1:36.2 | best, not games of the year, but like what feels like one of the best games I've ever seen. |
| 1:40.1 | Like that was, that was, I don't even know where to begin. Here's where I would start. |
| 1:44.9 | Al Michaels on that final Bengals Drive was talking about how piercing Joe Burroughs eyes are. |
| 1:50.8 | Al was locked in. |
| 1:53.0 | Think about the amount of bad football that Al Michaels has had to watch on Thursday night |
| 1:57.0 | over the last three to four years since they started doing these games. |
| 2:00.0 | He had the Falcon Saints game and now he gets this one. This is a man who had life during this game. And I think |
