Description: The halfway point of the NFL season arrives this week, and with it comes some unlikely storylines. For example, the loser of Rams-Buccaneers is going to have a tough time making the playoffs. Also, why is the Chargers' offense so boring? Robert Mays and Nate Tice discuss those two stories, and a whole lot more, on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. The guys also hit on expectations for Roquan Smith and T.J. Hockenson with their new teams, Tua Tagovailoa taking a big step forward, and the return of the Wick Scale.
