Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays, joining me tonight.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. Just witness a nice little 40 burger on a fabulous week five. And yeah, that's a good way to sum it up. Some of the things we thought we knew, some things maybe changed a little bit, but it was a, I'll say a dainty little nightcap for week five after kind of an interesting day. A lot of fun game, some sloppy ball, some good ball. Stuff's starting to happen, starting to see some tendencies getting broken, starting to see stuff getting copied. It's pretty great. It's pretty great, but I'm doing very well. We got a lot to dig into today, like you said, a lot of fun stuff that we're going to chew on from week five. But sometimes on this show, we kind of gloss over the Sunday

night game just because this is just so people understand. There are people when it was a blowout

in the fourth chord. You guys should start the show now. We are frantically preparing until the

moment the camera turns on every single Sunday night. We're not just sitting there waiting for the Sunday night game to end. So typically, we're doing a lot of prep and rewatching and getting ready for the show during the Sunday night game. So we don't dig into it all the time. But this week, we set it aside because this is one of the games of the year. And we talked about this game for so long on the Thursday previews show. It's a fantastic

match between two really good teams. And then we got what we just watched, but we had planned to

dig into it. So that's exactly what we're going to do. Where do you want to start with the 49ers

dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys tonight? I mean, they're a super team. They're unbelievable.

I just everybody, offense, defense, and new guys stepping up, old guys, old favorites.

You can make an argument like Fred Warner is defensive player of the year, but he might even

like some games, he might not even be the best player on the field for the 49ers on their

defensive side of the ball.

That's how you know, by the way. That's how, that's how you know that's a great team is when you can trade off like that every single week. Like Kittle tonight. Kittle doing what he did tonight. Just like, oh, today's one of those kiddle days where he just dominates and scores a handful of touchdowns. The fact that they can just interchange between all pro level players at multiple different

positions on both sides of the ball.
