Episode notes

If you looked at Week 4 before the season, you likely would've assumed that Ravens-Chiefs would be the Game of the Week, with Eagles-Buccaneeers at the top of the undercard. Instead, Eagles-Bucs has jumped up to top billing, the Colts and Rams find themselves in the Game of the Week, and the Ravens and Chiefs are both starting down 1-3 records. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman dive into all three of those games to kick off the Week 4 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also get into the heavyweight matchup between the Browns defense and Lions offense, Jaxson Dart's debut start against a tough Chargers defense, the surprising Jaguars defense getting its biggest test against the 49ers, and a whole lot more.
