But then we wouldn't hear Robert call himself a "spineless piece of shit," we wouldn't hear Dave talk about making an offense out of a "ham bone and a moldy shoe," and we certainly wouldn't hear Derrik agonize over picking another NFC North team. So we're doing it this way. Join Robert Mays, Dave Helman, and Derrik Klassen as they draft the NFL's best offenses for 2026.</p><br><p>0:00 Welcome to the show</p><p>3:05 Bills</p><p>7:44 Cowboys</p><p>13:59 Rams</p><p>17:17 Patriots</p><p>22:25 Lions</p><p>26:31 Bears</p><p>34:04 Ravens</p><p>40:49 Chargers</p><p>45:50 Bengals</p><p>52:21 49ers</p><p>56:13 Packers</p><p>59:47 Jaguars</p><p>1:04:07 Chiefs</p><p>1:06:21 Vikings</p><p>1:09:14 Broncos</p><p>1:11:25 Honorable mentions</p><p>1:18:37 TAFS live show!</p><br><p>Join The Athletic Football Show Discord Server: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshow</p><br><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Hosts: Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Senior Producer: Katy Duffy</p><p>Social Producer: Scott Krinch</p><br><p>Follow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Dave on Bluesky: @davehelman.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Robert on X: @RobertMays</p><p>Follow Dave on X: @DaveHelman_</p><br><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
