Summary
The late window in Week 10 may have been nothing but blowouts, but it did lay bare for us one clear and obvious truth: the Rams and Seahawks are two of the best teams in the league. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman begin the Week 10 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also give plenty of love to the Patriots, Dan Campbell as playcaller, and Jonathan Taylor; wonder what went wrong with the Bills, Jaguars and Panthers; and highlight a few things that made them feel romantic about football on Sunday.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:05.1 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:06.0 | A very fun week 10 slate is in the books. |
| 0:09.7 | Had a lot to dig into today with Dave Hellman and Derek Klessen. |
| 0:13.1 | Kick things off with the Seahawks and the Rams, |
| 0:16.1 | just putting together ass kickings over the course of those games. |
| 0:19.6 | And what that means for next week, |
| 0:21.5 | when those teams will play each other and what feels like an early candidate for the game of |
