Summary
The 49ers and Eagles meet on Sunday for the first time since last year's NFC Championship Game, and that provides us a chance to check in on the hierarchy of the conference. Beyond the top of the NFC, the Lions have issues on defense, and a quartet of teams are going to give us a super fun wild card race the rest of the way. Robert Mays and Nate Tice dig into all that and more on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
