Welcome to the Athletic Football Show, brought to you by Thursday Night Football only on Prime Video.

I'm Robert Mays. Week 5, a really fun slate of week five games. We dug into a huge chunk of this with me and Derek Klasse.

Two good games of the week, chat about Bengals and the Ravens, a huge game for Cincinnati just to keep alive in the AFC North and some really intriguing stuff on both sides of the ball. Obviously, a divisional game. These teams know each other very well. We also dug into the Texans and the Bills. Talked about why the Texans maybe haven't fulfilled the promise we thought they might on both sides of the ball. We spent a lot of time talking about the B bills last week. So really use this as an opportunity to dig into the Texans and maybe why this is a get right game for Buffalo. Also chatted about the Steelers offense when under the hood about what's going on with Justin Fields, that run game. Derek had a pretty spicy take about the New York Jets that we trotted out in Take Tribunal, which is a new segment

that we're going to be rolling out here.

And we also dug into a couple smaller things.

What's happened with the Niners' offense?

What's real between the Niners' defense and the Cardinals' offense?

It is a fun week five slate, and we tried to hit it from as many angles as we could.

So let's get to it.

Okay. as we could. So let's get to it. As soon as that game finished, Eric, as soon as Kedaro Hodge scored that touchdown,

you sent me a Slack message that I think is the only way to describe the feeling of watching

the end of that game.

And all it said was, what the hell did we just watch?

I don't even know. Where do you want to start with this game? I was just going to say, I don't know which part of what the hell did I just watch do I even want to start with? Like, is it the weird, the Falcons getting away with being able to spike the ball after throwing the middle of the field with 10 seconds left? is it some of the, like, getting it to lay a game right after that on a kick that, like, the ref was kind of standing over the ball. Is it Cadaral Hodge somehow ending the game? Like, I, maybe it's better to just, like, backtrack from the beginning. I don't even know at this point. I cannot believe that Kirk Cousins just threw for 500 yards after what the Falcons offense looked like over the first four weeks of the season.

It's not like it was a disaster by any stretch, but there was zero resistance from the

buck's defense for most of that game.
