A couple of NFC North teams picked up huge wins in overtime to highlight Week 10 Sunday. First, the Vikings proved that we all might need to take them a little more seriously with a 33-30 win over the Bills.

The second half of the NFL season begins this week, and with it comes a raft of questions for likely or potential playoff teams. What does the Cowboys offense look like against a real defense? Can the Dolphins defense be simply good enough to make them legitimate AFC title contenders? What's the ceiling for the 49ers' offense? And what's behind the occasional duds for the Chiefs' offense?With Nate Tice out this week, The Read Optional's Ollie Connolly joins Robert Mays to answer those questions, and a whole lot more, on the Week 10 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show.Follow Robert on Twitter: @robertmaysFollow Ollie on Twitter: @OllieConnollySubscribe to The Athletic Football Show...AppleSpotifyYouTube4:51 Can the Vikings be dangerous in the playoffs?13:36 Josh Allen's elbow injury18:28 What does the Cowboys' offense look like against a real defense?27:46 Can the Dolphins' defense be merely 'good enough'?38:41 Seahawks-Bucs, and the impact on the NFC playoff picture47:09 Realistic expectations for the Chargers the rest of the season56:01 What's the ceiling for the 49ers' offense?60:20 How does the Jaguars' defense go from fun to legitimately good?65:01 What's up with the occasional duds from the Chiefs?66:57 Concern for the long-term health of the Josh McDaniels era in Las Vegas72:31 Let's do this, Colts77:21 Wick Scale: Mike McCarthy vs. Packers80:09 Wick Scale: Stefon Diggs vs. Vikings82:15 Wick Scale: Case Keenum vs. Vikings84:10 Win my Fourth Screen: Texans vs. Giants Hosted on Acast.
