Change always seems to beget interest, doesn't it? That's why we were excited to watch units like the Ravens defense and Dolphins offense in Week 1. They underwent significant change this offseason, and the first real data point we'd get on them wouldn't come until the season opener. Now that we have those data points, Ollie Connolly joins Robert Mays to unpack those units, as well as a couple more, on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.

Well that was a fun way to start the season, wasn't it? The early window included a handful of multi-score comebacks, two overtime games, and a tie. The late window gave us heroics from Justin Jefferson and Patrick Mahomes. How do we piece it all together? What was a potential trend, and what was just a one-week mirage? Robert Mays and Nate Tice make sense of it all on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
