Episode 97 of Who’s Got The Ball? sees Shane and James link up again to tackle the biggest NFL and football talking points of the week.

The lads start with two teams whose seasons couldn’t look more different: the Raiders are 3–0, while the Texans are 0–3. Can Las Vegas sustain its perfect start, and can Houston find a way back?

Then it’s on to the weekend previews: Cowboys v Texans, with both teams looking to kick-start their season, and the Game of the Week between the Broncos and 49ers.

On the football side, Shane and James get into the Man City scandal, Ronaldo walking out on Portugal and the fallout from Ireland v Israel.

Gan Seans returns as always, the lads introduce their NFL Power Rankings for the first time this season and a Premier League true/false statement quiz.
