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

I'm Robert Mays.

Really fun show for you guys today.

The week eight preview with me and my buddy Derek Klaassen started things off with the recap of a great Thursday night game that featured a resurgent version of the Los Angeles Rams and hopefully a Rams team with Matthew Stafford, with Pooka Nukuoka, with Cooper Cup that will hopefully be a relevant squad down the stretch here as they maintain their life in the NFC playoff race. Chat about one game of the week this week, the Bills and the Seahawks, you know, dug into both of those teams, both of them made trades in the last couple of weeks, kind of use that as a way to get into the conversation.

We're going to talk about Bears in Washington as a game of the week. Jaden Daniels' status made it feel like that might not be necessary, but we did chat about the Bears and just the state of their roster overall because we'd already done the prep for it anyway. chat about a couple other trades we might want to see and just discuss the DeAndre Hopkins move and what that might mean for KC.

Talked a little Eagles Bengals and some of the frustrations with the Eagles offense and what that might mean against Cincinnati. Talked about a somewhat disappointing matchup in the AFC South between a Colts offense and a Texan's offense that we hoped would just be a little bit better and a few more matchups that we wanted to dig into from this week.

A couple bits of housekeeping before we get into the show.

One, no fourth screen today.

I was out on Tuesday and just forgot to solicit the fourth screen email.

So we will have four screen back next week when I remember to do it. That's 100% on me. Two teams we did not talk about today that I at least wanted to mention because I do want to talk about them soon. One, the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're playing on Monday night. We have a Monday night recap. So we'll be able to chat about the Steelers.

We will give them their own spotlight here after that Monday night game, win or lose. We have not really talked about them. And they're one of the only winning teams in the league we haven't spent a lot of time with. So I just wanted to get out in front of that a little bit. And at some point, we're going to talk about the Chargers defense. At some point, we're going have some space to talk about them. So if you were a Steeler or Chargers fan, just hang with me for a minute.

We will get to those teams, but we did not talk about them today. Let's get to the teams we did

talk about with me and Derek.

Well, Derek, later in the show, people will hear a fake trade that I proposed that involved Cooper Cup.

Just a little bit of a heads up.

We did that part of the show before that Thursday night game.
