Week 9 preview: An NFC North heavyweight battle, an unlikely top-tier defense in Los Angeles, and a strength-on-strength matchup in Baltimore

Sobre este episódio

<p>Some Games of the Week sneak up on us. Others we can predict before the season even starts. Lions-Packers is one of the latter. We'll spend plenty of time between now and kickoff hoping Jordan Love is healthy enough to play and play well, but either way this is clearly the Game of the Week for Week 9. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen break that one down, dig into the Chargers defense, highlight the matchup between the Ravens offense and Broncos defense, and get into so much more about Week 9 on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><p><strong>Rundown</strong></p><ul><li>Jets beat Texans on Thursday Night Football</li><li>Game of the Week: Lions at Packers</li><li>Fourth Screen email</li><li>Anthony Richardson benched</li><li>Under the Hood: Chargers defense</li><li>Matchup of the Week: Ravens offense vs. Broncos defense</li><li>Can the Cowboys pull a Falcons?...yes, this is a good thing</li><li>Can the Cardinals offense keep it going against the Bears defense?</li><li>What Do You Wanna Know?</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Host: Derrik Klassen</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>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.
