The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL

• Trade Deadline Madness! Sauce Gardner to the Colts, Quinnen Williams to the Jets, and more

  Thank you, New York Jets, for making the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline one of the most active on record. First, the Jets swung a blockbuster deal with the Colts for Sauce Gardner. Then, the Jets sent out another supposed pillar of their defense, trading Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys. And it's not like those were the only deals made, either. Jaelen Phillips, Jakobi Meyers and Rashid Shaheed all have new homes, too. Robert Mays, Dave Helman and Derrik Klassen cover the deadline and the moves that were made on this episode of The Athletic Football ShowConnect with The Athletic Football ShowX: https://x.com/TA_FootballShowIG: https://www.instagram.com/tafootballshowYT: https://www.youtube.com/@TAFootballShowTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tafootballshowDiscord: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshowCall us: 847-448-0701Email us: [email protected]: Robert MaysCo-Host: Derrik KlassenExecutive Producer: Michael BellerVideo Producer: Katy DuffyAudio Producer: Michael BellerSocial Producer: Scott KrinchFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.socialFollow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.socialFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Derrik on X: @QBKlassFollow Dave on X: @davehelman_Theme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.

• Week 9 Hangover: The Seahawks make another big statement

  We might not have thought of the Seahawks as Super Bowl contenders before the season began. We definitely do now. They showed us why yet again in their dismantling of the Commanders on Sunday Night Football in Week 9. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen dive into that performance on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also discuss the Jaguars' 30-29 win over the Raiders, and the Eagles and Dolphins getting trade deadline week going with a deal for Jaelen Phillips.Host: Robert MaysCo-Host: Derrik KlassenExecutive Producer: Michael BellerVideo Producer: Katy DuffyAudio Producer: Michael BellerSocial Producer: Scott KrinchFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.socialFollow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.socialFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Derrik on X: @QBKlassFollow Dave on X: @davehelman_Theme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.

  Now that's more like it. After a blowout-filled Week 8, the NFL got back to its down-to-the-wire ways in Week 9.

• Week 9 Preview: It's Bills-Chiefs Week

  We've talked a lot in recent weeks about how every NFL season is going to throw us its fair share of curveballs. There are constants, however, and one of the most constant of the constants is Bills-Chiefs Game of the Week. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman begin the Week 9 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys give the "One Thing From..." treatment to Falcons-Patriots, Colts-Steelers and Broncos-Texans, take a stroll down Sicko Street with Saints-Rams and Bears-Bengals, and ponder this question: Has it turned out that the Vikings actually had the worst offseason in the league?Rundown (timestamps are approximate)5:12 It's Bills-Chiefs Week33:03 The diverging paths taken by the Patriots and Falcons41:22 The Colts and Steelers show us the duality of believing you're "a QB away"47:28: Texans offense vs. Broncos defense53:38 Taking stock of the AFC Wild Card picture1:05:37 Sicko Street: Saints-Rams...and not for the reason you'd think1:12:44 Sicko Street: The Bears better be able to score against this Bengals defense1:16:00 Take Tribunal: The Vikings made the wrong bet this offseason1:31:08 What do you wanna know in Week 9?

• Who's winning—and losing—the trenches this NFL season?

  Even a casual NFL fan can tell which quarterbacks, running backs and receivers are among the best in the league. It takes a more discerning eye to watch the tape and understand who's winning in the trenches on the offensive side of the ball. Brandon Thron brings just such an eye to this episode of The Athletic Football Show, where he and Robert Mays dive deep on the offensive line to identify which groups are lifting their teams this season.Rundown (timestamps are approximate)5:04 Indianapolis Colts OL at the heart of the team's success17:16 Seattle Seahawks rebuilt OL exceeding expectations22:38 New England Patriots helping to drive this surprisingly good offense33:08 Minnesota Vikings OL crushed by injuries35:32 Tennessee Titans OL the most disappointing in the league40:40 OL coaches on the rise44:03 Baltimore Ravens OL -- same pieces as last year, but much different results49:30 The best OL this season at every spot1:00:07 Pleasant surprises at every spot across the OLHost: Robert MaysWith: Brandon ThornExecutive Producer: Michael BellerVideo Producer: Katy DuffyAudio Producer: Michael BellerSocial Producer: Scott KrinchFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Brandon on X: @BrandonThornNFLFind Brandon's work: https://trenchwarfare.substack.com/Theme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.
