| 0:00.0 | This is the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:15.8 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:18.5 | I'm Robert Mays, and joining me tonight, my good buddy, Nate, Tyson, Nate, how are you? |
| 0:23.0 | I'm doing well, you know, that was a pretty fun Sunday night game after a pretty boring first half, but I mean, eventful, eventful Sunday, fun games, and a lot of stuff happened, though, other than the games. |
| 0:34.3 | It seems like there's been some wild finishes over the first four weeks of the season, |
| 0:38.2 | but today it felt like a lot of the things that went down were about more than just this week, |
| 0:44.3 | long-term impact from a lot of the stuff that happened this Sunday. And I would argue that there |
| 0:49.5 | were three potentially franchise altering events that happened during Sunday afternoon. |
| 0:56.4 | The Dak Prescott injury, which we will talk about, obviously, the Jimmy Garoppolo benching |
| 1:00.8 | and the Falcons decision tonight that came down to fire both Thomas Jamedroff and Dan Quinn. |

And I kind of knew going in something happened because it was, you know, I was on delay watching the game. |
| 1:28.0 | And all of a sudden it was like, DAC, DAC, DAC. |
| 1:29.3 | I was like, was, yeah. And I kind of knew going in, something happened because it was, |

| 1:41.1 | Dak, Dak, Dak. I was like, oh, no. So I knew it was more serious. So I kind of was desensitized when it even happened. But it just brutal, man. It's just like, like literal breaks of the game just going the wrong way. |
