Week 1 recap: Lions beat Rams in OT thriller, Dak gets paid and Cowboys roll, Bengals and Falcons fall flat, and more

About this episode

<p>Week 1 represents 100% of the regular season football we've seen this season, so it's only natural to overreact. Not every reaction is an overreaction, though. For instance, it's not an overreaction to say that Dak Prescott had a great day...or that Josh Allen is a football superhero...or that the Bengals and Falcons were massive letdowns. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen discuss all that, and a whole lot more, on the Week 1 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><p><strong>Rundown</strong></p><ul><li>Rams-Lions OT thriller</li><li>Dallas Cowboys...You Have My Attention</li><li>Josh Allen and the Bills/Cardinals game...You Have My Attention</li><li>Houston Texans run game...You Have My Attention</li><li>Cincinnati Bengals...WTF?!?</li><li>Jordan Love's injury...WTF?!?</li><li>Atlanta Falcons...WTF?!?</li><li>Did You See That?...JK Dobbins runs wild</li><li>Did You See That?...The Saints are committed to the bit</li><li>Did You See That?...Baker Mayfield dropping dimes</li><li>It's So Over for the Panthers</li><li>It's So Over for the Giants</li><li>What Did We Learn Today?...The Jaguars are still super frustrating</li><li>What Did We Learn Today?...The vibes in New England are different</li><li>What Did We Learn Today?...It's hard to be a rookie QB</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Host: Derrik Klassen</p><p>With: Mike Sando</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Subscribe to The Athletic Football Show...</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/id1528622068">Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://spoti.fi/3waggUU">Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gWjMSDj7-8j3iCc2ZGo3g">YouTube</a></p><p>Follow Robert on X: @robertmays</p><p>Follow Derrik on X: @QBKlass</p><p>Follow Mike on X: @SandoNFL</p><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
