December has almost arrived, and there isn't much more separation among teams at the top of their divisions as there was back when everyone was 0-0. Three divisions—the NFC West, AFC South and AFC North—are tied. Two more—the NFC North and NFC South—have a half-game separating the top-two teams. The Dallas Cowboys now trail the Philadelphia Eagles by just 1.5 games in the NFC East. The Chicago Bears sit alone atop the entire NFC. And the Indianapolis Colts have relinquished their long-held division title to the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're going to enjoy one helluva run to the playoffs over the next month. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman recap all the games that contributed to those tight standings, and a whole lot more, on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. 0:00 Welcome to the show 0:27 Houston Texans-Colts 15:05 Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers 19:57 Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions 27:44 Packers defense & Micah Parsons 34:20 Bears-Eagles 47:23 Cowboys-Kansas City Chiefs 48:59 Dak Prescott 1:00:20 Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals 1:09:30 Joe Burrow 1:10:38 Los Angeles Rams-Carolina Panthers 1:16:17 Bryce Young 1:23:20 Romantic: Tyrod Taylor 1:25:55 Romantic: Max Brosmer 1:27:43 Romantic: Tristan Wirfs 1:29:42 What did we learn today?
