Jamie and Gordon bring you a deep dive into the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Has their offensive line turned the corner? Does the addition of Dexter Lawrence fix their defensive issues? They also briefly discuss outlooks for the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, along with some thoughts about the potential of an NFL game in Scotland after the Tartan Army's exploits in Boston and Miami.

Our esteemed host Paul Mitchell is joined by Ian Steven, Gordon McGuinness, and late addition Charles Paterson to break down two major NFL trades: the Rams acquiring All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett from the Browns for a 2027 first-round pick, Jared Verse, and 2028/2029 picks, and the Eagles trading wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots while saving $50m a 2028 first-round pick. They discuss divisional impacts, the Rams’ win-now window with Matthew Stafford and backup options, and what Jared Verse and A.J. Brown bring to their new teams. The group also reviews NFL UK & Ireland’s England-themed Nike jersey rollout and the shambolic American Express presale communication, before briefly making Scotland World Cup predictions and trying to guess Paul's middle name.

Paul is joined by Gordon and Ian on the podcast to react to the schedule
release and the NFL’s newly expanded international slate and key
calendar talking points.
They discuss 49ers–Rams opening the overseas
run at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Ravens–Cowboys in Rio, the
strongest-looking set of London games in years (Colts–Commanders and
Eagles–Jaguars at Tottenham), and other international matchups in
France, Spain, Germany and Mexico, including concerns about travel,
stadium fit and competitive fairness.
The group debates whether the
NFL’s expansion into more windows and platforms (including Netflix) is
growth strategy or overload, then runs through Thanksgiving and
Christmas scheduling and prime-time assignments, flex rules, and Week 1
matchups—highlighting Bills–Texans as the standout early game—before
closing with notes on London ticket pricing, travel plans, and their
podcast award nomination.

They move through key hauls and talking points for the Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Texans, Colts. We talk Jaguars consensus board, Titans, Ravens, Bengals and Browns.
Did the Steelers have good draft and what is Gordon's opinions on pencil sharpeners?
We finish with the Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots and drop news of the fixture schedule review podcast.

Paul is joined by Ian and Gordon to review the 2026 NFL Draft’s NFC
teams, debating surprises, value and fit. They question Arizona taking
RB Jeremiah Love given positional value, rookie guarantees and the
historical hit rate of top-five RBs, then discuss the Cardinals’ later
picks including QB Carson Beck.
The Rams’ surprise first-round QB Ty Simpson is criticized as early, while San Francisco’s class is dissected. They praise Dallas landin Caleb Downs, break down the Giants’ risky edge/linebacker Arvel Reese pick and Washington’s selection of LB Sonny Styles, and highlight the Eagles’ aggressive move for WR Makai Lemon. In the NFC South they like Tampa Bay’s haul and assess the Saints, Falcons and Panthers, then touch on the Bears, Packers, Lions and Vikings.
