Hurdle the Line is a UK-based NFL podcast that blends weekly analysis, strong opinions, and proper football banterinto a consistently entertaining listen. Part of the Asleep at Work Network, the show is built around the experience of following the NFL from this side of the Atlantic — balancing deep knowledge of the league with the humour and perspective of British fans.


Hosted by a rotating panel including Fletch, Chapman, Sam, Tom, and Oli, Hurdle the Line covers everything that matters across the NFL landscape. Episodes regularly feature game reviews and previews, team and quarterback storylines, coaching decisions, trade and draft discussions, and playoff and Super Bowl breakdowns. The panel isn’t afraid to disagree, which leads to lively debates and plenty of memorable moments.


What sets Hurdle the Line apart is its tone: informed without being dry, opinionated without being inaccessible. Whether the discussion is about a struggling franchise, a breakout star, or a controversial call from the weekend, the show balances insight with personality — making it ideal for both hardcore NFL fans and more casual listeners looking to stay in the loop.

Running throughout the NFL season and into the postseason, Hurdle the Line is a reliable weekly companion for anyone who wants smart NFL conversation, honest reactions, and a UK voice in a league dominated by American coverage.

    Myles Garrett to the Rams: Super Bowl or Bust?
    Jun 2 2026

    Chapman, Batch & Sam are back after a week off to discuss the trade of the year - Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.


    Myles Garrett, fresh off his single-season sack record and Defensive Player of the the Year season is headed to one of the best teams in the entire NFL. After bringing MVP Matthew Stafford back for the 2026 season, the Rams are surely in Super Bowl-or-bust mode right now.


    Les Sneed and Sean McVay have a history of trading away first round picks to build a stacked team of talent and it's paid off before. They won the Super Bowl the last time it was held at SoFi Stadium, and this year... it's back in their own back yard again.


    With Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the Giants, A.J Brown traded to the Patriots and Derwin James becoming the highest paid Safety in the NFL and much more on the table - only one conversation really needs the airtime.
