This week we take a look at NFL news, from the RBs gettin' paid, to the Bills' new stadium and more.

All of this and more...

  • 156. Dominant Bears, Lions Hold Off Saints, Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson Impressive

    01:11:19||Ep. 156
    Join Chapman, Olly, Batch & Ciaran in this episode of Hurdle the Line, your go-to amateur NFL podcast, as we dive into the biggest stories shaping the league this season!This was the season premiere of "Hurdle the Line," an NFL podcast hosted by AAW with co-hosts Ciaran, Olly, and Batch. The hosts discussed their different ways of consuming football, from watching games alone at home to gathering with friends at venues like the Hippodrome in London. They reviewed key Week 1 games including the Bills' victory over the Texans, the Bears' impressive 59-38 win over the Panthers, the Saints' comeback against the Lions, and the Ravens' dominant performance against the Colts. The group analyzed quarterback performances, with particular praise for Josh Allen, Bryce Young, and Caleb Williams, while discussing concerns about teams like the Browns and Chargers. They also established a weekly "Survivor" picks game where each host selects NFL teams to avoid picking the same team repeatedly, with Ciaran selecting the 49ers, AAW choosing the Rams, and Olly picking the Eagles for Week 2.Our sponsors: Fantasy GamedayGo to https://fantasygameday.app, download the app, use code AAWHQ for ยฃ7.50 in free plays when you deposit and play for the first time.๐Ÿ”ž+ only, please gamble responsibly๐Ÿ”— Show Notes & Resources- ๐ŸŽง Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/hurdle-the-line/id1737875041- ๐ŸŽง Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4PjFxcSJyaYWNO6I2Pzgse๐Ÿ“ฑ Follow & Support Us๐ŸŽง Subscribe so you donโ€™t miss episodes๐Ÿ‘ Like / comment your thoughts on this week๐Ÿ” Share with fellow College Football fans๐Ÿ’ฌ DM or comment your topic ideas for next time๐Ÿ”— Asleep at Work Network๐ŸŒ Website: https://www.aawnetworkuk.wordpress.com๐Ÿชฉ Discord: [https://discord.gg/U6KkTFBKkw]๐Ÿฆ Twitter: [https://www.twitter.com/aaw_network]๐Ÿ“ธ Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/aaw_network]๐Ÿ˜Š Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/aawnetwork]๐ŸŽฅ TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@aawnetwork]
