The Athletic
19 September 2025
Any time the calendar says "September," it's still early in the NFL season. But as we get ready for Week 3, we're starting to know a thing or two about most teams across the league. One thing we would've known at any point, though? Rams-Eagles and Lions-Ravens is must-see TV. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman start the Week 3 preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also dive into Cardinals-49ers, Broncos-Chargers and Texans-Jaguars, take a trip down Sicko Street with Spencer Rattler, trot out the Take Tribunal for the first time this season, and more.
