The Lions faithful are beginning to get desperate as Jonathan watches yet another one-score loss, and doubts about Dan Campbell's leadership begin to surface. James is jubilant as his Vikings pull off an epic win against an Aaron Rodgers' lead Packers. Otherwise across the league, Mac Jones begins to cement his claim on the OROY award as he leads the Patriots to their fifth straight league win whilst the Bills, Titans and Cowboys all get stunned by their opponents in another wild week.

In a week laden with hangovers and technical difficulties The After The Play team bring you yet another weekly round-up from the NFL from the worst podcast on the internet. James' smugness has returned as Kirk Cousins leads the Vikings to an unexpected victory in LA, and Jonathan is relieved as the Lions won't be the first 0-17 team in history but embarrassment is still on the table as 0-16-1 looms large. The boys discuss a weird slate of games including a successive concerning Rams defeat, The Cheifs getting back on track and Cam Newton's triumphant return to Carolina.

Listen in as the After The Play crew discuss all the news from a wacky week 9. We break down some of the great wins or bad losses from the week as well as giving our take on the Aaron Rodgers and OBJ fiascos. Who's ego was hurt more, the Bills', Cowboys' or is it, James', as another week swings by and we observe yet another crushing last-second loss for the decidedly mediocre Minnesota Vikings. So sit back, crack open a beverage and listen as two of us make fools out of ourselves and put it online for all to hear.

Perhaps the biggest week of news the league has had so far this year, Jonathan and James give their take on everything from Mike White and Cooper Rush's respective rises to power, Deshaun Watson going nowhere, OBJ wanting out of Cleveland all the way to the tragedy of the Henry Ruggs story. All that and more, including the usual focus on the Lions and Vikings, as James begins to realise his team are just not as good as he thought...

Listen in as the After The Play crew discusses the full slate of games in what is being dubbed "Byemageddon". We crack open a few beers and mull over everything from Deshaun Watson trade rumours and yet another crushing Lions loss to the Chiefs' dynasty potentially being dead. Ending with our speed round of spread picks for the following week's slate.

Join the boys as they go about their usual weekly round-up across the NFL, including takes on last weeks big story: Jon Gruden's departure. We discuss some of the more disappointing showings of the weekend, and a precedent is set concerning some interference in the host's weekly score predictions. James feels much rosier about his Vikings as the Lions demonstrate why they deserve to be 0-6 in a profoundly disappointing performance against the Bengals.

It's becoming a "Same shit, Different day" scenario for Jonathan and his Lions as they suffer yet another crushing loss to James' Vikings. We discuss Josh Allen tightening his grip on the MVP race as the Bills march into Arrowhead Stadium and destroy the Chiefs; Dak and the high flying Cowboys leave the Giants in tatters and a farcical kicking displaying in Cincinnati. Join Jonathan and James as they discuss all that and more from Week 5 in what is becoming a fascinating year for many and a brutal one for Lions fans.

Join the boys this week and hear them discuss what is continuing to be a roller coaster of an NFL season. As usual, all the big topics are discussed such as, the Cardinals being the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL, handing the Rams their first loss, and some remarkably improved performances from many of the struggling rookie QBs.  Jonathan is now sure the Lions are going 0-17, and will have his eyes on a new QB as Goff's shortcomings are coming to the fore, James doesn't know what to expect out of his Vikings as their offence stalls against a stout Browns defence. That and so much more is discussed, as well as a look forward to the Week 5 slate.

In this week's round-up, James is back on his Vikings after their miraculous victory against the Seahawks. Jonathan is slowly becoming clinically depressed after his Lions on the final drive find yet another way to lose. Join us as we speak our mind about all the big stories of the weekend from Mahomes' bad day to the Rams taking down the SuperBowl champs. 

Following on from week two's slate of games we explore some of the big stories around the league from injured quarterbacks to some of the weekend's big upsets. Join an unhealthy James and a hungover Jonathan as the two discuss the true fates of their teams going forward as James begins to realise the Vikings really aren't that good. As always we discuss our picks from week 2 and some potential selections for week 3's games where both the Lions and the Vikings will look to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start.
