Welcome to episode three of the Last Word on Football podcast. This week Ryan Hawks and Seth Aplin recap the first week of the NFL’s games. They start with what they were wrong about, including Lamar Jackson. Then they question other teams they predicted would be bad, including the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals. Of course, it can’t be a real episode without the two talking about fantasy football. Producer Daniel Acevedo is destroying Seth this week. Ryan gives some buy and sell candidates, as well as some waiver wire adds.
