Charles McDonald is joined by Mike Golic Jr. as they give their biggest takeaways from a bizarre Week 7 in the NFL. Charles and GoJo kick things off by reacting to some of the weirdest stories from the weekend, including Sean Payton getting existential as he asks why he can't be happy. Bijan Robinson was basically held out of the Falcons game on Sunday despite not being on the injury report, prompting an investigation by the NFL. Things are starting to crumble in Washington, as Jonathan Allen had some choice words to describe his frustration after the loss on Sunday, and Sam Howell is on pace for 97 sacks, which would blow the old sack record out of the water.Next, Charles and GoJo dive into what they learned from the on-the-field action. The duo discuss the Ravens putting it all together against the Lions, the Kansas City Chiefs becoming the top team in the NFL, whether or not the Dolphins were exposed against the Eagles, whether or not Mike Tomlin is using dark magic to get the Steelers to 4-2, the Deshaun Watson trade looking worse than ever and if the Bills situation is fixable this season.1:30 - Sean Payton asks why he can't just be happy6:20 - Bijan Robinson had one carry on Sunday12:10 - Jonathan Allen is not happy with the state of the Washington Commanders17:00 - Sam Howell is on pace to smash the sack record20:30 - The Baltimore Ravens are finally clicking24:45 - The Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the NFL28:30 - Did the Miami Dolphins get exposed on Sunday?32:50 - Mike Tomlin is is putting on a master class to have the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4-236:10 - The Deshaun Watson trade is officially a failure40:20 - The upcoming offseason will define the Buffalo Bills franchise42:25 - Answering voicemails from listenersZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab give their instant takeaways and analysis from an interesting Week 7 slate of NFL games. Fitz and Frank kick things off by reacting to some of the more interesting results from Sunday, including the Eagles knocking off the Dolphins as we now have to wonder if the Dolphins can beat a good team. The Ravens offense finally clicked as they steamrolled a hyped-up Lions team, Deshaun Watson was oddly held out of a close game in Indianapolis as the Browns beat the Colts without his help, and the Bills suffered yet another devastating loss, this time at the hands of the Patriots and Bill Belichick, who proved why he is still one of the greatest coaches ever.Fitz and Frank move on to discussing the rest of Sunday's games one by one as they debate over the Raiders' meltdown, how much to trust the Seahawks, Jordan Love's unceremonious fall back to Earth, whether or not we're overrating Justin Herbert and much more.2:40 - Miami Dolphins @ Philadelphia Eagles8:10 - Detroit Lions @ Baltimore Ravens13:45 - Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts19:10 - Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots24:25 - Las Vegas Raiders @ Chicago Bears28:50 - Washington Commanders @ New York Giants31:10 - Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers33:55 - Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks37:30 - Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos43:35 - Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams49:10 - Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs57:25 - MNF Preview: San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota VikingsZero Blitz would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.
