So much for a ho-hum Tuesday during the bye week between the conference championship games and Super Bowl, huh? The Broncos swung a deal for Sean Payton, making him their new head coach, while DeMeco Ryans officially took the reins in Houston, agreeing to a six-year deal with the Texans. Robert Mays and Nate Tice react to the news just moments after it broke on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.

Then, Tashan Reed joins Robert to introduce his new series, "Between the Lines" debuting Tuesday, February 14 on The Athletic Football Show podcast feed.
