    Week 10 Preview: The top of the NFC takes center stage
    Nov 7 2025

    The second half of the NFL season kicks off with a bang, with four games pitting current playoff teams against one another. Two of those games—Eagles at Packers and Rams at 49ers—are the Games of the Week on the Week 10 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. After diving deep into those games, Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman discuss the other two—Patriots at Buccaneers and Steelers at Chargers. The guys also dig into Ravens-Vikings and Falcons-Colts, give you a reason to tune into Giants-Bears, and ponder Kyler Murray's future.

    The players and coaches defining the 2025 NFL season
    Nov 6 2025

    It's a familiar refrain in sports media. "You can't tell the story of SPORTS TOPIC without talking about FAMOUS PLAYER/COACH." Well, who are the players and coaches without whom the story of the 2025 season would be incomplete? Old friend Nate Tice joins Robert Mays to highlight those players and coaches on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
