Episode notes

The Bills, Eagles and Buccaneers are among the 3-0 teams in the NFL. No real surprises there, right? Well, so are the Chargers. So are the Colts! Oh, and the 49ers, too. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman kick off the Week 3 recap episode of The Athletic Football Show by talking about four of the teams that improved to 3-0 on Sunday. They also try to answer how Packers lost to the Browns, and the Falcons got shut out by the Panthers. Plus, they get a little bit romantic about football and dive into what we learned in Week 3.
