Summary
When we previewed Week 7, we made Colts/Chargers and Rams/Jaguars audition for a Game of the Week spot. Neither of those lived up to the billing, thanks to the dominant performances by the Colts and Rams in their respective wins. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman wonder whose performance was more impressive in the Week 7 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also dig into the craziness of the Broncos comeback win over the Giants, the lingering problems with the Packers (who did win their game), a big day for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, a step back for the Commanders, rock bottom for the Raiders and Dolphins, and more.
