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

I'm Robert Mays.

Week six is in the books, an exciting week six.

We dug into all of it with my buddy Derek Klasson, started things off with a really good Washington Ravens game.

We expected it to be a good game, lived up to the billing.

Chat about the NFC North and just the NFC North being one of the best divisions we've seen since the divisions realligned about 20 years ago.

Pretty much all of the teams in that division rolling right now. Each of them has four wins. Absolutely crazy.

That's a little bit about that crazy Buck Saints game. It didn't really know how else to discuss it. So it had our attention in a way both good and bad. Talked about the Chargers going to three and two. You know, the Chargers team that we might have to start paying a little bit of attention to after their surprising start. Discussed the Cowboys bottoming out against that Lions team, talked about the Browns

Eagles game and everything disgusting in that, a little bit of Drake May excitement, even in a

loss, and a lot more from the week's action.

So let's get to it with Derek.

We did have a lot of very good games on the slate this week, and we were going to start with the game that we described as the game of the week, the game we broke down as the game of the week on our show on Friday that really did live up to a lot of the hype.

It was to me probably the best played game of the week, really good performances on both sides, and that is the Ravens taking care of business against Washington with a 30 to 23 win.

Where do you want to start with this?

It was the number one takeaway that you had from this game.

I would honestly say the number one takeaway I had was that even though they lost and there were certainly more moments where the offense didn't look as good as it has for the past month for Washington, specifically from Jaden Daniels, I actually thought this was the most impressed that I'd been with him, like through six weeks of the season. And there's a couple reasons for that. First of all, what have I said like every single time we've talked about Jane Daniels is throw over the middle of the field.

Like I want to see you hit some of those tight like sliding doors, you know, throws over the middle.

And he hit like five or six of them in this game.

He actually had, I went and counted.

He had five completions past 10 yards between the numbers.

And there were two or three of those that were like high leverage situations into tight windows, like really, really impressive throws.

So there was that element of it.
