Week 12 Preview: Colts-Chiefs is the Game of the Week, but not in the way we expected
If we told you back in August that Colts-Chiefs would be the Game of the Week in Week 12, you probably would've nodded along. "Sure," you'd say to yourself, "I can see that. The Chiefs are doing their thing as a Super Bowl favorite, and the Colts are a surprise upstart on the fringes of the playoff picture. That adds up." Instead, it's the Colts who are leading their division, and the Chiefs who are desperate for a win to stay within shouting distance of the playoffs. That's where Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman begin the Week 12 Preview episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also discuss Buccaneers-Rams, Steelers-Bears, Eagles-Cowboys and Panthers-49ers; talk a stroll down Sicko Street with Cam Ward against the Seahawks defense and Shedeur Sanders getting his first ever start against the lowly Raiders; and wonder if it's time for a moratorium on Vikings talk until J.J. McCarthy shows us...anything.Rundown (timestamps are approximate)2:17 Game of the Week: Colts-Chiefs22:35 Game of the Week: Buccaneers-Rams40:24 One Thing From...Steelers-Bears47:39 One Thing From...Panthers-49ers52:06 One Thing From...Eagles-Cowboys 1:02:43 Sicko Street: Cam Ward vs. the Seahawks defense1:05:07 Sicko Street: Myriad entry points for Browns-Raiders1:08:21 Take Tribunal: It's time for a moratorium on Vikings offense talk1:14:27 What do you wanna know after Week 12?Connect with The Athletic Football ShowTake our listener survey: https://forms.gle/9CwBVwManjR9froy9X: https://x.com/TA_FootballShowIG: https://www.instagram.com/tafootballshowYT: https://www.youtube.com/@TAFootballShowTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tafootballshowDiscord: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshowCall us: 847-448-0701Email us:
