Speaker 1: NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. This is NFL Game Previews,
Speaker 1: Week eleven. Game Preview Guy with you breaking down every
Speaker 1: game and letting you know who on our ten person
Speaker 1: prediction panel thinks will win each game. We start with
Speaker 1: the Purple People Leaders taking on America's team. The Dallas
Speaker 1: Cowboys are heading north Week eleven, huge matchup with the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, who showed they don't need Stefawn Diggs on
Speaker 1: their team to pull off a miracle. They just need
Speaker 1: them on the field. Cousins to the sideline, Jefferson timing
Speaker 1: pattern fourth to eighties, given time they wants, Jefferson climbs ladder.
Speaker 1: Oh my godness, zero breathing room. He tries to stick
Speaker 1: in the blazzs is a text down. Allen steps up
Speaker 1: and throws it interception. He vidreams with the NATO Ball
Speaker 1: game of the year, right, and now we might have
Speaker 1: the one on one matchup of the year. Does it
Speaker 1: get any better than tray Von Diggs versus JJ. You
Speaker 1: just saw it and probably have been seeing it all
Speaker 1: week because it was probably the catch of the season.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the only catch justin Jefferson made against
Speaker 1: the Bills, and it was his play that put Minnesota
Speaker 1: in a spot to pull that win out, which has
Speaker 1: the Vikings moving on up to the east Side. I
Speaker 1: guess to a deluxe apartment in the sky. Maybe hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety three yards on the road against a tough secondary.
Speaker 1: Got to dance again night yards plus in six straight games,
Speaker 1: and Cousins looks to throw left into the inside. Jefferson
Speaker 1: touchdown Minnesota. This has Peter and the Chicken written all
Speaker 1: over at digs three I n T S twelve passes
Speaker 1: defense holding Hugh D's to a seventy three rating, get
Speaker 1: the popcorn out. He knew it was his ball. Something
Speaker 1: overcame him and you could just tell by his body language.
Speaker 1: Aside from Jefferson, the Cowboys also have to deal with
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling and tight end t J. Hawkinson. Both have
Speaker 1: been good for around fifty yards per aim for them
Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling a little chemistry building between Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: and t J. Hawkinson going to him at critical times
Speaker 1: again another really nice feel for that soft spot in
Speaker 1: the zone. Dallas's past defense beyond digs holding quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: a sub ninety rating, holding them under seven yards per
Speaker 1: attempt intercepted by the Cowboys at the two yard lone.
Speaker 1: Cow Boys pass rush should come into play. They have
Speaker 1: the most sacks, the highest pressure rate. Michael Parsons, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: Stafford back pressure, goodnight nurse Parsons and the Bills sacked
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins four times in Week ten. They hit him
Speaker 1: ten times and all that pressure led to Cousins throwing
Speaker 1: two picks. Cousins were all protected second level falls person done.
Speaker 1: Minnesota didn't even fully lean on Dalvin Cook last week,
Speaker 1: only fourteen carries, but he hit a moonshot with one
Speaker 1: of them, a hundred and nineteen yards eight point five
Speaker 1: a run when the day was over five yards per
Speaker 1: carry on the season, Delfin Cook on first down and
Speaker 1: Cook Scott rolled. Delvin Cup takes off down the sideline.
Speaker 1: He now takes on a Cowboys defense that has given
Speaker 1: up four point eight to carry this season, gave up
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty eight yards and five point eight
Speaker 1: or run and a touchdown to Aaron Jones last week.
Speaker 1: Jones left side Big Hall Sperkdick to the eend zone
Speaker 1: touchdown Green Bay Minnesota's defense is also vulnerable to runners
Speaker 1: four and a half yards per run allowed for the season. However,
Speaker 1: running backs are not their problem, holding them to just
Speaker 1: three point eight in attempt back to the ground single
Speaker 1: two hit up the last lost to yards. Holding Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard to anywhere close to that would be a feat.
Speaker 1: Averaging six yards per carry in a hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: yards last week over five a run, a touchdown. Running
Speaker 1: the ball hasn't been Dallas's issue. Raw Pollard, big hole, Polard,
Speaker 1: It's side the five He's and father touchdoles He missed
Speaker 1: again last week. Didn't matter how much Malik Davis gave
Speaker 1: him thirty eight yards on five runs. But what has
Speaker 1: to improve this week is their passing attack. It's not
Speaker 1: that it's coming in ice fold. Prescott through three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: two to ceedee Lamb. He caught eleven passes for a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. Prescott loft to walk. He's got it,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk in touchdown. Dallas dak also through two
Speaker 1: I n T s, though, and only averaged five point
Speaker 1: eight yards per attempt, his rating seventy eight point six.
Speaker 1: Lots of failed connections on third down versus the Packers
Speaker 1: just five or fifteen Prescott over the middle, it's or
Speaker 1: something again it's four and again Prescott based pressure thirty
Speaker 1: one point three percent of his dropbacks in Week ten.
Speaker 1: Remember over thirty is bad. The Cowboys have given up
Speaker 1: a thirty two percent pressure eight this season, so week
Speaker 1: ten fit right in there with their body of work
Speaker 1: stack back. It's that that's what a yard line. Eton
Speaker 1: hudsons and got it. That where's aa Darius Smith comes in.
Speaker 1: He got Josh Allen once has nine and a half bags.
Speaker 1: Vikings pressure rate right there near that and he's down
Speaker 1: first second of the day for the Vikings, and it's
Speaker 1: Darius Smith. Their pressure last week help them hold Josh
Speaker 1: Allen in check. Ultimately, Patrick Peterson fed off of it
Speaker 1: to the tune of two I N T s. Minnesota
Speaker 1: may not have dominant numbers against the past, but he's dominating.
Speaker 1: And the team now has ten I N teams just
Speaker 1: selling into the end song and it's kept by Peterson.
Speaker 1: Patsa Peterson guess. It tells you what kind of game
Speaker 1: it could be. Our ten predictors split right down the middle,
Speaker 1: five for each club. This is a f C East
Speaker 1: beef at its finest time to add the next chapter
Speaker 1: to the Jets Patriots Rivalry, a book that already includes
Speaker 1: tales of betrayal designed to resign as a tattos in
Speaker 1: New York s tales of espionage for New England Patriots
Speaker 1: called video taking arrivals teams coaches as they sent signals
Speaker 1: to their players, yarns about thanksgiving, the fortune, Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: not expecting it and it was the backside of Brandon Moore.
Speaker 1: The knock the Ball out the latest addition to their
Speaker 1: growing novel, made possible by the fact it's week eleven,
Speaker 1: both teams are over five hundred and in the playoff hunt.
Speaker 1: The last time that was the case Week six, team
Speaker 1: Jets pulled some fits magic out of their hat and
Speaker 1: took it in an O T classic Fitzpatrick and so
Speaker 1: Eric Decker holds it in the Jets win and over time.
Speaker 1: This round between the two featuring a coaching matchup whose
Speaker 1: personalities couldn't be further apart Robert Sala the j to
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's Silent Ball. This matchup also features two of
Speaker 1: the best defenses in football, so it's all about who
Speaker 1: can do just enough on offense to scratch out the
Speaker 1: wind a little more. The Jets have been sitting on
Speaker 1: that big double you over Buffalo for a while now,
Speaker 1: but the offense they flashed in that game exactly the
Speaker 1: kind they would love to see again this week. Untouched
Speaker 1: Carter touchdown, Jets New York rand the ball thirty four
Speaker 1: times through it twenty five. Keep in mind, on the
Speaker 1: season they have thrown more than they've run. Lots of
Speaker 1: reasons for that, but their offensive seems for now is
Speaker 1: still better off letting the ground game lead. They're hoping
Speaker 1: the week off allows James Robinson to find his footing
Speaker 1: in greens and the seconds his way to the thirty five.
Speaker 1: Robinson hasn't made a huge impact as a runner in
Speaker 1: his two games with the Jets. Still he got thirteen
Speaker 1: carries in their last outing. Michael Carter got twelve six
Speaker 1: point three a run seventy six yards into touchdown. They
Speaker 1: don't hear who shines. They just need one of those
Speaker 1: two gents to make a dent in the Patriots defense.
Speaker 1: Carter gets outside slow down water still four point seven
Speaker 1: yards per carry allowed. That's New England's rushed inference not
Speaker 1: good right hold on though, four point one yards per
Speaker 1: carry allowed that's New England's rush defense against running backs
Speaker 1: much tougher. What's it back looking for first pality yardage
Speaker 1: did not get there. It's quarterbacks running that has given
Speaker 1: New England trouble. They're giving up six point three yards
Speaker 1: per carry to that position. Zach Wilson isn't that kind
Speaker 1: of quarterback. Typically he has grabbed pointy four yards along
Speaker 1: the ground and two of their last three games. Though
Speaker 1: not major, but you get it. It's X factor material
Speaker 1: trying to get all he could, did not protect himself
Speaker 1: go down on the spot, showed the willingness to try
Speaker 1: and get towards the end. Jets defense is in the
Speaker 1: same boat as New England's. It's the rush defense that
Speaker 1: has pressure to step up. Patriots have run much more
Speaker 1: than past. They would love to hit New York with
Speaker 1: a two headed attack. Have to see if Damian Harris's
Speaker 1: hammy is healed. He's been out for a while. No
Speaker 1: matter what, Jets will be trying to stop. Romandre Stevenson
Speaker 1: nice healthy yard per carry figure of four point eight.
Speaker 1: As a Stevenson look at the running room Gate five
Speaker 1: e two, though, is going to have a hard time
Speaker 1: finding room to run. Jets defense holding runners to four
Speaker 1: yards per carry, holding running backs to the same at
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary gets stole rolled by Michael Clemens for no game.
Speaker 1: Neither team really wants to end up having to rely
Speaker 1: on their passing games for too much production keeping it simple.
Speaker 1: New England and New York secondaries are two of the
Speaker 1: hardest to complete passes on, both of them sitting on
Speaker 1: elite digits and raiding yards for attempt completion percentage allowed.
Speaker 1: They were tied with each other for the second most
Speaker 1: I n T s at their by for the middle
Speaker 1: picked up tip and picked off by Jonathan Jones to
Speaker 1: the ends off for the touchdown. They's kicked off along
Speaker 1: the sideline Jordan Whitehead, and both teams have had success
Speaker 1: pastoring the quarterback. Quenin Williams leads the Jets with seven
Speaker 1: ba as. New York doesn't blitz much yet still has
Speaker 1: a pressure rate over thirty. Allen has forced to eat
Speaker 1: at quit and Williams having a Pro Bowl season. The
Speaker 1: Patriots for second in the NFL and sacks at their
Speaker 1: break thanks Matt Judean and the ballroom blitz, they send
Speaker 1: an extra body over thirty percent of the time. Thirty
Speaker 1: is the magic number and he goes Josh. New York
Speaker 1: would love another Week nine Wilson performance. In Week eleven,
Speaker 1: it was one of his best showings. Eighteen of twenty
Speaker 1: five a touchdown, no picks, rating over a hundred, Wilson
Speaker 1: looking underneath pass the touch the run touchdown just a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four yards only six point two yards
Speaker 1: per attempt. That's okay, though quality over quantity works for
Speaker 1: their formula. Can Garrett Wilson come close to repeating what
Speaker 1: he did versus the Bills? They have an elite secondary,
Speaker 1: yet he caught eight of nine targets for ninety two yards.
Speaker 1: He's definitely the guy. New England will focus it's DV
Speaker 1: tension on fires. It took Karen Wilson's first out. You
Speaker 1: will see a lot of New England cornerback Jack Jones
Speaker 1: holding quarterbacks to a fifty nine point four rating two
Speaker 1: I n t s hasn't been beat for any touchdowns, Patsy,
Speaker 1: This is God to the house, Jack Jones. But the
Speaker 1: pick six Mac Jones is in a similar spot as
Speaker 1: Zach also comes in with rough numbers. Also comes in
Speaker 1: off a game with modest passing stats, but also a
Speaker 1: game where he didn't make any major mistakes and they
Speaker 1: won bad Hunter Henry. As dominant as New York's outside
Speaker 1: corners have been, it's their play against Jacoby Myers that
Speaker 1: could matter the most. He's the guy that Jones targets
Speaker 1: the most. He's usually in the slot, Jones going for
Speaker 1: more than just the one and the catches made by Myers.
Speaker 1: That's where we talk Michael Carter again. Dude plays both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball now, but the dB Carter plays
Speaker 1: the slot most of the time, point seven rating against
Speaker 1: versus slot wide receives this year does have three passes
Speaker 1: defensed against those throws and an I N T NIF
Speaker 1: Michael Carter. All of this makes it sound like it
Speaker 1: could come down to the wire. Maybe a kicker's leg
Speaker 1: Jets Gregg. The legs are line sixteen for nineteen on
Speaker 1: the season, three misses from forty plus four for five
Speaker 1: from fifty plus just a fifty three yard and ten
Speaker 1: line leans into it and curves it through in truth
Speaker 1: Nick Faulk nineteen of twenty one. Overall, both misses from
Speaker 1: forty plus two for three from fifty and beyond its way,
Speaker 1: and we have points on the board right down the middle.
Speaker 1: These franchises like each other as much as Chang Wang
Speaker 1: and those guys trying to order some beet fried rice
Speaker 1: and chicken wings fried hard and stuff. Just two of
Speaker 1: our ten pickers took the Jets a little surprised. The
Speaker 1: Pats got eight votes in this one. The Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: are flying south this week to Mexico to continue the
Speaker 1: NFL International Series. Coming in off of in that keeps
Speaker 1: their season alive and kicking a j Greed makes the
Speaker 1: catch spectacular protardal touchdown. They take on to San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty Niners, whose offense may have a little mystique to
Speaker 1: it now event right through the mills of thirteen yards
Speaker 1: at good game tonight. All that anticipation coming off San
Speaker 1: Francisco's by what does Pyle Shanahan have cooked up for
Speaker 1: an offense featuring deebo, cmc and Kittle? How about some
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell He finally returned from injury last week. I
Speaker 1: know we were waiting to see McCaffrey Samuel Mayhem, but
Speaker 1: Mitchell was the star of the show against the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Close to ninety yards, close to five yards per Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Loto for Mitchell. If you aren't
Speaker 1: familiar with the Book of Eli, it's good. He hit
Speaker 1: at four point seven to carry as a rook close
Speaker 1: to ninety yards per game. So Week ten was not
Speaker 1: a fluke, just sort of unexpected. Not by all, mind you.
Speaker 1: I saw plenty of forty Niners fans talk about him
Speaker 1: in the comments section leading up to that game Run nine.
Speaker 1: Mitchell's effectiveness just makes it that much harder for Arizona
Speaker 1: to defend the ground game. San Francisco's Russi attack could
Speaker 1: feel relentless. Samuel gets his shots to be four handoffs
Speaker 1: versus the Chargers almost seven yards per carry. This is
Speaker 1: a run with demol Samuel the first time we see that,
Speaker 1: and Samuel in a secondary McCaffrey quiet last week, but
Speaker 1: you know, still a four point five yard a run.
Speaker 1: Guy in two for the touchdown. Cardinal's rush defense that
Speaker 1: Trio takes on not one of the greats allowing round
Speaker 1: four point five a carry overall. Same to dude who
Speaker 1: line up as running backs specifically, it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: defective coordinator Advanced Joseph calls. You have to be ready.
Speaker 1: You just got us line up and tackle like thing is.
Speaker 1: It was Arizona's defense that propelled them to victory over
Speaker 1: the Rams last week. They played the run better than
Speaker 1: their season body of work. As I say, A Simmons
Speaker 1: comes up to make the tackles job, I say it.
Speaker 1: They got after the QB better than they had all year.
Speaker 1: Wilford wrapped up down. He goes J. J. Watt In turn,
Speaker 1: they played the past better than they had all season. Oh,
Speaker 1: this taps picked off. Yes he's playing us after do
Speaker 1: to the baker. He checked this out. They held Cooper
Speaker 1: cup Mr. I picked up a hundred yards on him
Speaker 1: on the toilet to minus one yard. Yes he got hurt,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't until the fourth quarter. Tonyo Hamilton's touched
Speaker 1: that ball out. That's a good all the round football.
Speaker 1: This week they'll be up against Jimmy Garoppolo. He isn't
Speaker 1: throwing it over any mountains, but he continues to be efficient.
Speaker 1: Last three games sixties seven completion percentage or higher mid
Speaker 1: nineties rating or better. He's the distributor in the purest sense.
Speaker 1: Outs Sam Francisco passing tack as tricky to figure out
Speaker 1: as their ground game. You just aren't sure who could
Speaker 1: shine Samuel and George Kittle didn't put up big numbers
Speaker 1: against l A. It was Brandon Ayuk again eight four yards.
Speaker 1: He's really been their most consistent pass catcher lay but
Speaker 1: prant so the Cardinals offense may need to put up
Speaker 1: twenty five plus like they did last week. Tyler Murray
Speaker 1: sat out. You'd expect him back this week, but hamstrings
Speaker 1: are tricky. Is Arizona in a rush to get him back?
Speaker 1: Pulton McCoy filled in versus alloy, solid effort No I
Speaker 1: n t s two hundred and thirty eight yards twenty
Speaker 1: six of thirty seven rating mid nineties QB controvert just
Speaker 1: kidding night and what I love is the throw McCoy
Speaker 1: puts it on the dime for DeAndre Hopkins to make
Speaker 1: that completient tight end. Zach Bert's left last week's match
Speaker 1: per so it really made and potentially makes them a
Speaker 1: very wide receiver driven passing offense. DeAndre Hopkins and Rowndale
Speaker 1: Moore accounted to twenty seven of mccloye's thirty seven pass attempts,
Speaker 1: ten catches for de hop nine for more, both guys
Speaker 1: over ninety yards. Well, let's spectacular catch. So how does
Speaker 1: San Francisco handle the wide receiver position, specifically, not as
Speaker 1: well as they've played the pass. Overall, they're holding qubis
Speaker 1: to amid eighties rating, but to wide receivers they've allowed
Speaker 1: a ninety two point nine ratings. Still, that's not bad,
Speaker 1: and it's not bad because they have cornerback to various
Speaker 1: Ward ready to stick on hop gains. He's held down
Speaker 1: the four to the two of a nice low sixty
Speaker 1: five rating against. He has just given them that number
Speaker 1: one cornerback that they haven't had. Arizona's qube will also
Speaker 1: have Nick Bosa breathing down their back. He added another
Speaker 1: bag to his twenty two shopping part has nine and
Speaker 1: a half sacks. Now he was gonna slipping. Bossa had
Speaker 1: this right leg and Nick Bossa gets another sec Murray's
Speaker 1: legs if he plays in the Card's ground games the
Speaker 1: X factor. James Conner scored twice last week just three
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry, though he's under four a
Speaker 1: carry for the season. Two. Murray, though, is a different matter.
Speaker 1: He's the one that could create the big ground splash.
Speaker 1: Plays six yards per run in the open field, loves
Speaker 1: pass wo dives down near the forty three yard line.
Speaker 1: If he did play. Just know this the forty Niners
Speaker 1: one of the toughest for a quarterback to run on,
Speaker 1: holding that position to just three point three a carriage.
Speaker 1: It's spit. He's just gonna tumbled down. Aid On. Our
Speaker 1: panel went with San Francisco, Mark Sessler and m j
Speaker 1: D calling for the cardinal upset. L A is at
Speaker 1: home for Sunday Night football this week. The division leading
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are in town, which means the Chargers
Speaker 1: secondary is going to be on center stage. Down Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes rolls into Sophie, coming in off a four TV
Speaker 1: pass performance over three and thirty yards nine and a
Speaker 1: half yards per attempt, rating near one thirty. He still
Speaker 1: pops in TV passes this season, no one throwing for
Speaker 1: more passing yards per game than Mahomi's let's touchdown catch.
Speaker 1: So what are the chances l is up to the
Speaker 1: task of slowing him down? To start? They have to
Speaker 1: play the tight end position well. Travis Kelsey, the NFL
Speaker 1: tight end leader in yards this season, six catches, eighty
Speaker 1: one yards and a touchdown last week standard fair from
Speaker 1: Senor drifts Uple Sargatouse. The Chargers did just play an
Speaker 1: elite tight end and George Kittle only allowed him to
Speaker 1: catch one ball on two targets. With Derwin James roaming
Speaker 1: the field, l A has held tight ends to an
Speaker 1: eighty two point five rating. They can make it tough
Speaker 1: on Kelsey. That is not a guy you want to
Speaker 1: run into. Darwin James one are the best defenders in
Speaker 1: the league. Can't just play the tight end well though.
Speaker 1: With Mahomes the specialness of the season so far, how
Speaker 1: he's utilized what he has in front of him, targeted
Speaker 1: ten different players last week. Running back Jerick McKinnon was
Speaker 1: his top target was dump t he was left alone
Speaker 1: and while Juju Smith Schuster might not be available at
Speaker 1: the white out spot, Chargers have this Darius Tony guy
Speaker 1: to deal with. Tony last week, making his first mark
Speaker 1: with Ksey, there's the goal, it's over to Tony and
Speaker 1: he tiptoes the tight rots a touchdown. Mvs also scored
Speaker 1: for them last week, and they're hoping to have Micole
Speaker 1: Hardman back this week. Chargers have played the pass overall
Speaker 1: respectably in two same It's true for how they've handled
Speaker 1: wide receivers in coverage and the trapping deflicted in an
Speaker 1: acceptive cannot fire you with a pack where they've been
Speaker 1: a little vulnerable in the passing game running backs a
Speaker 1: hundred and seven point six rating allowed to that position,
Speaker 1: three T D s allowed and no I N T
Speaker 1: s out. But Katherine clearly it would help if l
Speaker 1: A could frazzle Mahomes. Khalil Mack grabbed his seventh Sackers
Speaker 1: of San Francisco. Trouble here, Kalil Mack's got it, and
Speaker 1: he's got him and he's dead for a loss of time.
Speaker 1: Problem is with Joey Bosa sidelined, he's been a one
Speaker 1: man band Chargers with a meddling sack total in a
Speaker 1: low QB hit total so far. So what if Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert has to try and keep up with Mahomes could
Speaker 1: be problematic. Chargers passing attack is in rough shape. Herbert
Speaker 1: last week unable to make do with the do he
Speaker 1: had to try to make do with under two hundred
Speaker 1: yards under six yards per attempt for rating of seventy three.
Speaker 1: Four straight games now Herbert's yards per attempt has been
Speaker 1: under six. That's rough four straight games with a sub
Speaker 1: ninety rating. And it was a great throw and just
Speaker 1: all the fingertips give Herbert his due though he's like
Speaker 1: the Black Knight taking on King Arthur out there. No
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, what tis but a scratch? No, Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: look you stupid, So and so you have no receivers left?
Speaker 1: Yeah I do? Who look at you? What 'tis a
Speaker 1: flesh wound? Oh? Look you're starting tight end? Also left
Speaker 1: hurt last week? Right, I'll do you for that. I'm
Speaker 1: invincible the toptown car clearly who actually trots out with
Speaker 1: Herbert for battle could alter things. Playing the guessing game
Speaker 1: during the week, though, has proved fruitless. The Chargers offense
Speaker 1: last week was relegated to lots of Austin Ekeler dumps.
Speaker 1: He led the team with twelve targets, leads the team
Speaker 1: and looks for the year. If Herbert does get some
Speaker 1: of his guys back, he's facing a Chief's defense that
Speaker 1: can be had through the air. Rating allowed over a
Speaker 1: hundred two given up, nineteen tds and only three I
Speaker 1: N T s holds for the touchdown. Chiefs aren't playing
Speaker 1: the run game grade anymore either, four and a half
Speaker 1: per run allowed for the season. They got stopped for
Speaker 1: a moment, but he keeps going. No real shock red
Speaker 1: chalk across the board, no one taking the Chargers on
Speaker 1: our ten person panel. The Cleveland Browns are on the
Speaker 1: road again this week in the Northeast, this time to
Speaker 1: take on the Bills, who are in the midst of
Speaker 1: a little bit of an identity crisis. You the we
Speaker 1: thought you were, or the one we've seen lose two
Speaker 1: games in a row and are also sitting in third place,
Speaker 1: stops up and throws it in seventeen and in this
Speaker 1: heavy right cloud the Vikings. What the knock? Phil Dumpy?
Speaker 1: Take it away? Why the face the game Allen and
Speaker 1: his mates lost, Probably game of the year. But here's
Speaker 1: the bottom line. Cleveland is faced with trying to do
Speaker 1: one or two things, based on recent events, to extend
Speaker 1: Buffalo's woes. Either play ridiculous defense the way the Jets
Speaker 1: did against Buffalo in Week nine, holding them to seventeen
Speaker 1: points socks Gardner's got him, or combined some crazy insane
Speaker 1: splash plays with a guest performance from Jimmy Walker on
Speaker 1: your offense like the Vikings did to him in week ten,
Speaker 1: which led to Buffalo giving up thirty three points fourth eighteen.
Speaker 1: He's given time he wants, Jeffer said Climes. Oh my godness,
Speaker 1: Justin Jeffers said that Cats of his life, Bill's mafia
Speaker 1: right now, So you're telling it takes the eighty five
Speaker 1: Bears or a matrix video game catch followed by us
Speaker 1: stopping them four times? After that, that's fine. Put a
Speaker 1: step on the n which is then followed by losing
Speaker 1: a fumble in our own end zone, and then we
Speaker 1: throw an I N T in O T as we
Speaker 1: try to win it. That's what it takes for us
Speaker 1: to lose. After they trail ten, they force over time,
Speaker 1: and they beat the Bills here in Orchard Park. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's look it all over. Could the Browns lock
Speaker 1: Buffaloes passing attack up like New York did? Alan Still
Speaker 1: threw for three hundred thirty yards in Week ten, Stefon
Speaker 1: Diggs caught twelve balls for a hundred and twenty eight yards,
Speaker 1: gave Davis close to a hundred yards roll on Brown's
Speaker 1: passing defense versus the two a cheetah penguin powered Miami offense.
Speaker 1: Two d ninety six yards allowed through the air, over
Speaker 1: nine yards per attempt, three touchdowns, no picks rating allowed
Speaker 1: over a hundred and thirty five. They're rating allowed for
Speaker 1: the season point two touchdown. So what about Cleveland's ability
Speaker 1: to shock and awe On the O side. They have
Speaker 1: to be able to get Nip Chubb involved early. He's
Speaker 1: having a great year on paper. He looked good last week,
Speaker 1: but just eleven carries, the game gets away from the
Speaker 1: Browns early like it did versus Miami. He can't help
Speaker 1: control the flow breaks through touchdown. He is the key
Speaker 1: of keys because Buffalo was not able to contain Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook and their latest loss, and they didn't play the
Speaker 1: Jets ground game well either. That's the common denominator in
Speaker 1: their last two losses. So that's the Browns biggest opening.
Speaker 1: Bills gave up eight point five a run close to
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards and a touchdown to Cook
Speaker 1: last week. Cook scot Room vint takes off touchdown. Cleveland's
Speaker 1: passing attack Jacoby Brissette still behind the wheel six point
Speaker 1: one yards per attempt, eighty nine point two rating, touchdown,
Speaker 1: no picks. Versus Miami utilizes a Marie Cooper and Donovan
Speaker 1: People's jones most of the time. They accounted for a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty of percepts two hundred twelve yards last week.
Speaker 1: It's like it is what it is. Browns do take
Speaker 1: on a rattled secondary. Their body of work is in
Speaker 1: good shape, and they held Kirk Cousins to a seventy
Speaker 1: one point eight rating and picked him off twice. But
Speaker 1: their Week ten overall body of work more like game
Speaker 1: preview guy in the mirror. Bills aren't used to giving
Speaker 1: up three hundred and fifty seven yards through the air
Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety three to one, Guy Cousins, given
Speaker 1: time his thrower is right there, that Browns want any
Speaker 1: chance of sending the Bills to three straight ls, Myles
Speaker 1: Garrett and Jadavian clown you can't go sackless against the time.
Speaker 1: The middle ten votes all for Buffalo in this one
Speaker 1: at straightforward in their minds. Houston is at home this week,
Speaker 1: the Texans welcoming in the Washington David's fresh off slinging
Speaker 1: that stone and taking out the last NFL Goliath instead
Speaker 1: Heineck wisely, and now a flag that's gonna in essence
Speaker 1: end a game, hey man, Taylor, Heineke didn't make the
Speaker 1: rule or throw the flag. He just knew what he
Speaker 1: was doing, and it doesn't matter anymore. Washington is five
Speaker 1: and five and feeling like they have a great shot
Speaker 1: at getting over the five hundred mark based on their
Speaker 1: opponent this week, only having one wind Mills spins out
Speaker 1: of trouble. Mills try to break away, can not. The
Speaker 1: Giants get to him. Washington's offense in their upset wing
Speaker 1: over Philadelphia three yards in a cloud of dust, over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. Forty nine rush attempts. No
Speaker 1: one averaged over three and a half a carry didn't matter.
Speaker 1: Pound it set up short third downs that are easy
Speaker 1: to convert, so you keep the ball and the clock running.
Speaker 1: He keeps it, gets the first out. They could employ
Speaker 1: a similar strategy based on Houston's twenty two defensive play,
Speaker 1: Texans are giving up five point two yards per carry
Speaker 1: this year bottom five figures, Yeah, Henry. Plus, they also
Speaker 1: just got beat by a team that employed the same
Speaker 1: strategy Washington used. Houston faced forty seven New York Giant
Speaker 1: Russia attempts, only seventeen pass attempts Barkley. That acceleration for
Speaker 1: Barkley pounding it through. The Texans have played the past
Speaker 1: better than the run in two, but they weren't great
Speaker 1: against Daniel Jones gave up a super fat one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty three point three raiding to him over eleven
Speaker 1: yards per attempt. Allowed rookie safety Jalen Petrie coming in
Speaker 1: off a rough outing that saw him give up two
Speaker 1: TVs and eighty six yards of course to throw coming
Speaker 1: back forking a tackle, Slay down the slood Sliky toucksdown.
Speaker 1: Washington's passing attack was scary list like, that's all it
Speaker 1: really looks kind of can only through for two hundred
Speaker 1: and eleven yards. Terry McLaurin was sponsible for a hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty eight of them, and most came against Darius slay,
Speaker 1: who was the league's top corner. The fundrais off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and and mclauren gets in behind him.
Speaker 1: This ball is as good as it can possibly be,
Speaker 1: so give McLaurin some. Derek Stingley, the rookie corner, continues
Speaker 1: to sparkle rating against still a nice low seventy point one.
Speaker 1: He wasn't able to get there. Stingley read it so
Speaker 1: well Buckley tried to bounce it. Stingley was there. Another
Speaker 1: key to Washington's win. They created four turnovers. Might not
Speaker 1: need that against Houston, but it wouldn't hurt either out
Speaker 1: down field intercepted. Texans offense hasn't been overly turnover prone.
Speaker 1: Can't say that's true for Davis Mills, though, Commanders taking
Speaker 1: on a quarterback with nine I N t s, the
Speaker 1: second most in the NFL. Float up in the air,
Speaker 1: intercepted Dane Belt, he steps in for the pitch. Houston
Speaker 1: turns it over again. Mills and their passing games seemed
Speaker 1: to be the key to them pulling off an upset.
Speaker 1: Their run game is fine, but it hasn't led them
Speaker 1: to wins. So Mills has to play above his two
Speaker 1: levels on the year, low sixties completion percentage, only eleven
Speaker 1: t d passes, low eighties, rating under seven yards per ten.
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter at Soldier tied, it's what I stepped back
Speaker 1: two Bills, Yes, intercepted in the end, he did throw
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards last week, over eight yards
Speaker 1: per Mills. That one is complete tour set he in
Speaker 1: the offense. They'll have to be able to convert more
Speaker 1: third downs. They were unable to last week and have
Speaker 1: been unable to all the season. Mills, let's fly up,
Speaker 1: float back it up the Washington defense. He and his
Speaker 1: mates take on this week Top ten. It's stopping teams
Speaker 1: on third down. Its broken up, well timed by Kendall Fuller,
Speaker 1: who knocked it away from a J. Brown. Can't call
Speaker 1: the Commander's past defense terrible, but they're not great. Mid
Speaker 1: nineties rating allowed one of a handful of teams allowing
Speaker 1: over all the yards per completion given up the second
Speaker 1: most tds through the air, rolls left still looking, throws
Speaker 1: left side of the ends, one leaping wrap ends up
Speaker 1: put stop and sure the Texans will roll. Damian Pierce
Speaker 1: at Washington plenty four point seven to carry for two
Speaker 1: better than five a run two weeks straight, eighty plus
Speaker 1: yards rushing in six of his last seven games, ninety
Speaker 1: four yards on seventeen carries last week, Davia Pierce, look
Speaker 1: at him, go hs Pierce. The Giants Commanders are tough
Speaker 1: on running backs, holding that position at just four point
Speaker 1: to a run got two votes for the Texans taking it.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah and Adam Rank rest of the ten person
Speaker 1: panel went with Washington. Well, this matchup has taken on
Speaker 1: a very different field, the Colts showing they can win
Speaker 1: with a head coach who've never coached above the high
Speaker 1: school levels one for Adams broken up, there's no foight
Speaker 1: and on downs the Colts hold. Philadelphia Eagles finally getting
Speaker 1: their first taste of are cast a ball instead Heinick
Speaker 1: wisely and now a fly. That's essence and the game.
Speaker 1: So we're beyond two hand touch now just have to
Speaker 1: tackle by what trying to use psychic powers? Just checking
Speaker 1: is all No, no, no, Heineck gave himself up. Brandon
Speaker 1: Graham took responsibility, didn't blame the rafts. Still don't think
Speaker 1: it's wise for that raft to vacation in Philly in
Speaker 1: timing soon. Now the Eagles have to try and do
Speaker 1: something they haven't done all year, rebound after a loss.
Speaker 1: Pretty sure. The focus this week ball security, down field intercepted.
Speaker 1: You don't see many eight no teams turn the ball
Speaker 1: over four times in one game. They've only given it
Speaker 1: away three times all year, and that's why we have ants.
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts through one I n T. That's going to
Speaker 1: happen occasionally, but they can't lose three fumbles again this
Speaker 1: week if they expect to get back into the wind.
Speaker 1: Call is a diving catch, ball comes out, Commanders pick
Speaker 1: it up at the fifteen yard loss Task number two,
Speaker 1: don't let Jonathan Taylor and the Colts run game dictate
Speaker 1: the terms. Wondered what a guy with no experience as
Speaker 1: an NFL coach would do the same thing as the
Speaker 1: rest of us would have done. Hey, let's run the
Speaker 1: ball with jt. How hard is this coaching thing? Right?
Speaker 1: Taylor last week a hundred and forty seven yards six
Speaker 1: point seven to carry one touchdown call, He's off to
Speaker 1: the races and if kest the Colts rushed for over
Speaker 1: two hundred yards versus Vegas, Jalen Hurts has nothing on
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan Stems the iceman broke off a thirty nine
Speaker 1: yard or in week ten, Ryan for thirty nine yards?
Speaker 1: Did the Raiders think the play was over? Eighties got
Speaker 1: a fund style look at the thirty seven year old
Speaker 1: quarterback being that seems unlikely to happen. Again, Let's focus
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia's skill versus standard backs. They faced forty nine
Speaker 1: rush attempts versus Washington, held them the three point one
Speaker 1: yards per carry, held both primary backs under three and
Speaker 1: a half of them. That sounds pretty stout. Robinson bottled
Speaker 1: up back to the line of scrimics. That's it. The However,
Speaker 1: that showing doesn't fit the body of work. They have
Speaker 1: given up a fat four point six yards per carry
Speaker 1: to running back, specifically this season to Cutch Left. Plus
Speaker 1: the strategy of three yards in a cloud of dust
Speaker 1: was meant to avoid throwing two off and at Philadelphia
Speaker 1: secondary while helping them set up short third downs, which
Speaker 1: it did. Philadelphia will be looking to correct that issue.
Speaker 1: They allowed Washington to convert twelve of twenty one of
Speaker 1: those chances good protection passes wide open to mclart. Philadelphia's
Speaker 1: secondary will obviously get tested something they've been lights out.
Speaker 1: But Darius Slay will be looking to reassert himself as
Speaker 1: the top cornerback in the league because he wasn't last week.
Speaker 1: He did not lay all day. He gave up a
Speaker 1: hundred and four yards on six catches. The fund raikes
Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage and and McLaurin gets in
Speaker 1: behind him. This ball is as good as it can
Speaker 1: possibly be. Horseshoe fans might be thinking, if the Heineken
Speaker 1: and Terry McLaurin can do that to him, Shirley Ryan
Speaker 1: and Michael Pittman or Paris Campbell can do a little something.
Speaker 1: Ryan made a triumphant return two hundred and twenty two
Speaker 1: yards isn't much, but almost eight yards per attempt. No
Speaker 1: picks a rating of one O nine point five. Tell
Speaker 1: him the middle, he goes. There, goes Campbell, Puff to
Speaker 1: the races touchdown. This primary targets Pittman and Campbell nine
Speaker 1: targets each last week, seven catches each slip the block
Speaker 1: at the right tack going down the field, they go
Speaker 1: those it's Campbell block here on the checket down in
Speaker 1: five and they find the receiver. Michael Pittman can't ignore
Speaker 1: tight end Kyl and Grandson either. Four targets, four catches,
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards and he's got his receiver that's caught
Speaker 1: with the Tuten Grimson. Back to the Eagles offense. Now,
Speaker 1: how easy will it be for them to get back
Speaker 1: on track versus and E's d Hurts won't have Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard for a while hurt shoulder, So it puts pressure
Speaker 1: on A. J. Brown and DeVante Smith to carry things.
Speaker 1: Brown comes in off his worst showing. He had just
Speaker 1: one catch on four targets, just seven yards. Good play
Speaker 1: and he's playing soft and he just drives on it.
Speaker 1: He beats A J. Brown to the ball Smith, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, score passes Cot Smith touchdown Philadelphia, but
Speaker 1: just thirty nine yards. That's four straight games now he's
Speaker 1: ended with less than forty five and he was one
Speaker 1: of the fumblers, and so was Quaz Watkins. But he
Speaker 1: did have eighty yards, so he should also factor plenty
Speaker 1: with Goddard's absence. Let's why about prin pass Cot by Watchinness.
Speaker 1: Colts aren't tough to pass on overall rating allowed mid nineties,
Speaker 1: allowing close to passes to be completely play by play
Speaker 1: to the ones cot for the touchdown. They're not terrible
Speaker 1: by any means, though only seven yards are attempt allowed.
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore likely shadows Brown quite a bit. He has
Speaker 1: come up huge for them over and over this year,
Speaker 1: has held qvs to an eighty point to rating too.
Speaker 1: I know he's going to Devanta Adams one on one.
Speaker 1: Gilmore's imposition Eagles run game. Both Hurts and Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: picked up four point five or better versus Washington. It's
Speaker 1: Chiefs right up the gun. Sanders only got twelve carries
Speaker 1: though Philadelphia running the ball just twenty times overall. How
Speaker 1: often will they try the ground game versus Indianapolis? They're
Speaker 1: holding Runners to three point eight yards per carry, second
Speaker 1: lowest in the leaves. That's the call. I'm first and
Speaker 1: send Crimin whoa look at this? Mark Sessler, the lone
Speaker 1: believer in Indy on our ten person panel, put on
Speaker 1: a sight. Divisional matchups are always fun, aren't they? I mean,
Speaker 1: they're way more fun when you're not battling for last place.
Speaker 1: But we can't have everything we want, can we? Broncos
Speaker 1: and Raiders fans wish everybody in that room felt the
Speaker 1: same way about this place. And as a leader, that
Speaker 1: pisces me off. I'm being honest. It's a week four
Speaker 1: rematch between these two teams, which the Raiders won thirty
Speaker 1: two to twenty three. Will Denver get their revenge at
Speaker 1: home against Vegas? Let's break it down? Come on, come on, hey,
Speaker 1: Speaking of breakdowns, that might be the best way to
Speaker 1: describe what the Raiders endured during their twenty five to
Speaker 1: twenty loss to the Colts last weekend by stud Hillbore,
Speaker 1: that's its black hole. Keeps thinking the black hole there
Speaker 1: in each week is the blackest of the holes. How
Speaker 1: about taking their third loss in a row? All the
Speaker 1: teams with losing records their latest loss to a guy
Speaker 1: who had just taken over as head coach days earlier
Speaker 1: and had never coached even a college team. They have
Speaker 1: to be at the bottom now, right. Derek Carr didn't
Speaker 1: play horribly thirty eight with two touchdowns, no picks WI
Speaker 1: Week ten was cars m O sort of some good numbers,
Speaker 1: but six and a half yards per attempt and another loss.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Car has to find more ways to move
Speaker 1: the offense against the Denver defense. That maybe it's best
Speaker 1: since their Super Bowl fifty winning unit is gonna be intercepted,
Speaker 1: that it may have sealed the deal here in London
Speaker 1: back in second yards allowed first against the past, tough
Speaker 1: to run on the way you beat Denvers by stopping
Speaker 1: their offense. Same is true in two Come Jose. The
Speaker 1: Raiders relied on their playmakers to get that Week four
Speaker 1: victory over Denver. Josh Jacobs held serve in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter and route to a hundred and forty four yards
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Hands it up with jacobs cars through
Speaker 1: the middle touch back at the five dependo touchdown lenders
Speaker 1: and he might have just sealed Las Vegas. His cars
Speaker 1: right of the heir Davante Adams had a day nine
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and one yards on thirteen targets,
Speaker 1: back to pass, look at Adams right side on the
Speaker 1: sideline the Broncos. It ended up being the raiders second
Speaker 1: highest point total of the season, which is a big deal,
Speaker 1: and that it came against the team leading the league
Speaker 1: in scoring defense. Broncos defenders Patrick sir Kan Kawan Williams
Speaker 1: and de Marie Mathis will work to keep Davontae Adams,
Speaker 1: mac Hollins and Foster Moreau and check for car looks
Speaker 1: for Adams those ball dr way five passer Dan incomplete
Speaker 1: feels pretty good about that play. Why not? In fact,
Speaker 1: had Moreau not dropped a pass in the end zone
Speaker 1: against Indy, we'd be talking about the Raiders going on
Speaker 1: a ride right now. Speaking of ride, Broncos fans surely
Speaker 1: hoped let's ride would be the catchphrase of two instead
Speaker 1: of the meme it's ended up being. Who would have
Speaker 1: expected a Russell Wilson led offense to have the struggles
Speaker 1: Denver has had so far this season. Alright, it's timid seats.
Speaker 1: They're gonna win this football game. As good as Denver's
Speaker 1: defense has been, you still need at least some offense
Speaker 1: to win championships. And while the Broncos have been fine
Speaker 1: at gaining yardage if you had the run in the pass,
Speaker 1: they've been terrible at actually, you know, scoring, like worst
Speaker 1: in the league level terrible, like fourteen point six points
Speaker 1: a game terrible. And there are three wins they've scored sixteen,
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty one points. Let's ride indeed broken up
Speaker 1: in the end zone and somehow, some way, the Indian
Speaker 1: Atholis Colts pulled out a twelve none Perhaps ironically, their
Speaker 1: best point total this season came in that loss to
Speaker 1: the Raiders, a whopping twenty three points. The Broncos need
Speaker 1: more from their skill players like Melvin Gordon, Courtland Sutton,
Speaker 1: and Jerry Judy. This week, Gordon is tied for his
Speaker 1: lowest yard per carry average of his career side Sutton
Speaker 1: is averaging his lowest yards per catch total. Wilson loads
Speaker 1: it up, throws a ball that is caught by Sutton
Speaker 1: up incomplete for a bottom five Raiders defensive unit trying
Speaker 1: to get right. This may be the perfect opponent. Raiders
Speaker 1: are the worst at getting sacks. You cannot give a
Speaker 1: quarterback this much time. It's hard for these defenders to
Speaker 1: defend that long. Wilson is the third most sacked QB
Speaker 1: in the league. Wilson Wilson in trouble. Raiders give up
Speaker 1: the highest completion percentage ring back to pass Flack caught
Speaker 1: Cambell sorry fangling less like pad breaks tap, oh my
Speaker 1: godnes touchdown cold. Broncos are the worst at completing passes.
Speaker 1: Wilson Judy end zone and it's like you never saw.
Speaker 1: Raiders are fifth worst at keeping other teams from scoring.
Speaker 1: There's have three chances to bring him down. Patty stepped
Speaker 1: the whole three tackles and we already told you how
Speaker 1: bad the Broncos are at putting up points. McManus next,
Speaker 1: Hennessee Hawks are gonna win this game. Someone ends this
Speaker 1: game with their sights on three. Someone ends with Lloyd
Speaker 1: Christmas dreams. Eight votes for the Broncos splitting the series.
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant and m J D rolling with Vegas Week eleven.
Speaker 1: Rams and Saints, two teams desperately clinging to their two
Speaker 1: playoff hopes, but both despite their records still very much
Speaker 1: a lot. Both teams come in off losses, the Saints
Speaker 1: going down to a one win Steeler squad with a
Speaker 1: QB sporting the worst pass or rating in the game
Speaker 1: rives the read holds it back fives fireball for the
Speaker 1: first step, but is that worse than this? The Rams
Speaker 1: coming off a loss at home to Colton McCoy not
Speaker 1: trying to be rude, but that's all you need to know.
Speaker 1: A j Grid makes the catch spectacular. Suppose the easiest
Speaker 1: place to start with is l A's offense. Will Rams
Speaker 1: fans be rooting for a backup QB again? This week?
Speaker 1: John Wolford filled in against Arizona for Matthews Stafford, who
Speaker 1: was in concussion protocol. If it's Wolford again, he didn't
Speaker 1: embarrass himself twenty four or thirty six through a touchdown
Speaker 1: rating just under eighty. What do you want from Wolford?
Speaker 1: So the episode it is caught for a touchdown by
Speaker 1: Van Kemper Ship Stafford was supposed to be a game
Speaker 1: time decision against the Cardinals, so you'd assume there's a
Speaker 1: good chance he's back for New Orleans. At sixty eight
Speaker 1: point four, his completion percentage is actually improved over his
Speaker 1: numbers last year. Well, write Stafford looking for a target run,
Speaker 1: He'll take it up till look at two to the
Speaker 1: pilot cut down Matthew Stafford. I'm trying to keep it positive.
Speaker 1: His season has been pretty brutal, as has the entire
Speaker 1: passing game and offense so great. Googly moogalie. Now we
Speaker 1: have to see what they look like without Cooper cut
Speaker 1: injured ankle landed him on ill land. You can't put
Speaker 1: anyway on that right leg, so stopping the rams won't
Speaker 1: be as tall in order for New Orleans. Plus, they've
Speaker 1: played the pass well the season, holding quarterbacks in their
Speaker 1: seven yards for attempt, holding teams under two hundred yards
Speaker 1: passing like beat right here. Look at him stand up.
Speaker 1: Now watch him undercut this, undercut the route, get your
Speaker 1: hand inside above. Despite that lofty status against aerial attacks,
Speaker 1: the Saints have an excel at keeping opposing teams out
Speaker 1: of the end zone, though they're tied for twenty five
Speaker 1: in the league in scoring and pitching off the right
Speaker 1: touchdown Pittsburg seems odd, right. They play the past pretty
Speaker 1: well and give up gobs of points. Their defense is
Speaker 1: generated the second fewest turnovers in the NFL. Their offense,
Speaker 1: You're two Santa claus tipped into the air. It's picked
Speaker 1: off of the thirty yard line, running left to the twenty,
Speaker 1: park O Wilson to the ted. He high steps and
Speaker 1: then he does a flip into the ends off of
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Saints want to get back into the wind column.
Speaker 1: Stopped listening to the red hot Chili Peppers. No offense
Speaker 1: has given it away, giving it away, given the ball
Speaker 1: away more than New Orleans last week. Andy Dalton was
Speaker 1: the culprist those in the pocket looks for lady offers.
Speaker 1: Had it puffed off, Let's take it away. Jersey Dalton
Speaker 1: through two picks in a game where the Saints offense
Speaker 1: only had the ball for a little more than twenty
Speaker 1: one minutes, in a route to just a hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty six yards of total. Oh, he goes up eyeball.
Speaker 1: That's just perfect defense right there by Wallace. So maybe
Speaker 1: we see Mr Famous make his return at this point.
Speaker 1: Why not? If you're a Rams fan, you don't think
Speaker 1: it matters who they throw out there, Winston or the
Speaker 1: red Rifle. L A secondary may not have lights out numbers,
Speaker 1: but you would assume Jalen Ramsey can make things real
Speaker 1: tough on the Saints. Number one white out Chris Olava,
Speaker 1: oh Si LaVey didn't have Ramsey on him last week,
Speaker 1: still wasn't able to make much of an impact in
Speaker 1: their lost to Pittsburgh only forty yards. You see it
Speaker 1: right there. Attack the ball in the air, don't let
Speaker 1: it get to your body. The key to New Orleans
Speaker 1: hopes of dictating terms when they have the ball is
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. He only has one one hundred yard rushing game,
Speaker 1: back against the Seahawks in Week five, was held at
Speaker 1: twenty six yards three point three a carry. Last week,
Speaker 1: Albert Cabara stretched to the sideline, it will be a
Speaker 1: loss of a yard. Obviously. He's more of a total
Speaker 1: yardage guy, averaging a hundred of those per game. For
Speaker 1: one area where Los Angeles excels is at stopping the run.
Speaker 1: Ninety six yards a game is fourth fest and only
Speaker 1: four yards per carry allowed, tied for third. Bats three
Speaker 1: rams votes in this one. Seven going with the Saints.
Speaker 1: Detroit heads to New York City this week. Now they
Speaker 1: head to New Jersey actually to take on the Giants,
Speaker 1: which means their defense is once again going to get
Speaker 1: tested along the ground park for the cutdown. Good news
Speaker 1: for the Lions. They are bottom three in rush defense.
Speaker 1: They just gave up two hundred and fifty eight yards
Speaker 1: to ball carriers last week, allowed seven point four yards
Speaker 1: per run, gave up two rushing tdsh cleaing glons. It
Speaker 1: was word touched down. Yep. They gave up all those
Speaker 1: splash plays along the ground and they want so sure,
Speaker 1: Bring on Sa Kwan Barkley and Daniel Jones. Jones can't
Speaker 1: be any faster than what Detroit just saw with fields. Barkley, though,
Speaker 1: is the focal point everyone's aware of. His two rebirth
Speaker 1: comes in off a hundred and fifty two yard game
Speaker 1: one touchdown again, don't touch down Giants. Barkley prop two
Speaker 1: yards down. The Giants ran forty seven times last week.
Speaker 1: Sa Kwan thirty five carries. Please stand in salute this man.
Speaker 1: If he isn't the NFL version of Leonidas from three hundred,
Speaker 1: I don't know who is this is sake Wan dancers,
Speaker 1: look you the don't touch down. So if the Lions
Speaker 1: were able to win while not being able to stop
Speaker 1: the line, then what well the next key battle lands
Speaker 1: with New York secondary versus Detroit's passing attack. Jared Goff
Speaker 1: comes in off a Jared Gossip outing look that would
Speaker 1: work on Bob's Burgers. He put up a hundred thirteen
Speaker 1: point six rating over nine yards per attempt one t
Speaker 1: D no I n T saw touchdown. Detroit Lions Giants
Speaker 1: would appear to need someone for aman Ras st Brown.
Speaker 1: He leads the Lions in targets a hundred and nineteen
Speaker 1: yards last week eleven targets next highest on the team
Speaker 1: three comin raw tossing bear sters like Giants pass defense,
Speaker 1: Goff and st Brown faced this week. Overall, New York
Speaker 1: has played the past game well. Completion percentage allowed under sixty,
Speaker 1: rating allowed under ninety mixed bag. In Week ten, nineteen
Speaker 1: yards allowed to Davis Mills gave up over eight yards
Speaker 1: per attempt, but they also picked him off and held
Speaker 1: him to an eighty five point three rate. High ball
Speaker 1: javel up sideline are excepted by Pelton end for a touchback.
Speaker 1: Being Detroit's passing game runs through a wide receiver, how
Speaker 1: has New York handled that position? Kind of like they've
Speaker 1: played the pass overall, which is to say, solid chaps
Speaker 1: a deep drop passers holding white outs to an eighty
Speaker 1: four point eight rating that's top ten action. Goff got
Speaker 1: sacked a couple of times in week ten, but only
Speaker 1: got hit three times, only faced fresher roughly of his dropbacks.
Speaker 1: He faces a much different situation this week. He's gonna
Speaker 1: get blitzed a lot. It's New York specialty. They lead
Speaker 1: the NFL on that front by a wide margin. They
Speaker 1: racked up four sacks last week. Bills or sack se
Speaker 1: Goff versus the blitz this season ninety three point eight
Speaker 1: rating not bad, but four of his seven I and
Speaker 1: T s have come against five plus pass rushers deep
Speaker 1: ballust side. You could make the case Quill mcpringleberry could
Speaker 1: swing things. Jamal Williams is averaging four point three a
Speaker 1: run this season. He punched in his ninth TV last week.
Speaker 1: He didn't pump the hips three times he wanted to,
Speaker 1: though the Shakira the hips don't lie. What's something reason
Speaker 1: Williams and or DeAndre Swift could make an impact. New
Speaker 1: York also has a porous run defense. Gave up five
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry to Damian Pierce last week,
Speaker 1: five and a half two runners overall this season, and
Speaker 1: five point four to running backs specifically. That was an
Speaker 1: easy thirty yard touchdown run for Kenyan Drake. We are
Speaker 1: left with New York's passing offense versus Detroit's passing d
Speaker 1: Neither is the star of the show each week. Usually.
Speaker 1: With that said, can't ignore what Jones did against a
Speaker 1: decent Houston secondary two touchdowns, no I n T s
Speaker 1: eleven point six yards per attempt a rating of a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three point three to do Lions pass
Speaker 1: defense he faces gave up a ninety nine point four
Speaker 1: rate to justin Fields season rate allowed ninety nine point eight.
Speaker 1: Stopping the pass hasn't been a strength of theirs. Touchdown
Speaker 1: touchdown there. Mark Sessler and Colleen Wolfe believe in the
Speaker 1: Lions making it three in a row. The other seven
Speaker 1: voters went gem in. The Pittsburgh Steelers are at home
Speaker 1: for Week eleven, feeling much more like themselves again. Get
Speaker 1: to Alvin Cabert to begin to day, you get stallowed
Speaker 1: up a T T WAT is right at the thick
Speaker 1: of things. Now they get the task of trying to
Speaker 1: slow down a rested Cincinnati offense throw his past touched out.
Speaker 1: Regardless of how they looked the last time we saw them,
Speaker 1: the Steelers will still be focused on Joe Burrow and
Speaker 1: the Bengals passing attack. Joe Schist, completing sevent his passes
Speaker 1: so far eighteen touchdown only six picks, over two d
Speaker 1: and eighty yards per game, rating over one oh two
Speaker 1: touchdown Bengals. As Joe Burrow plugs up pertly well down
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, Pittsburgh secondary doesn't have to
Speaker 1: worry about Jamaar chasing this one. He's still out hurt,
Speaker 1: so most of burrows throws will likely be directed at
Speaker 1: Te Higgins and Tyler Boyd, both gents averaging right near
Speaker 1: xp yards per game this season. Bro grows it is
Speaker 1: caught by Tyler Boyd, touchdown Brow It grows it heap
Speaker 1: down the side by Hagen. The tackle down yea worth noting,
Speaker 1: though tight end Hayden Hurst and running back Joe Mixing
Speaker 1: both average over four catches a game as well to
Speaker 1: Girl under a little peak hits it into the tightest
Speaker 1: windows and hayden Hurst spins it forward for a first
Speaker 1: game of the screen from Mix and Mix a Little
Speaker 1: Road and looks at some speed stepping out of tackles.
Speaker 1: Those dudes now take on t. J. Watton Company. Steelers
Speaker 1: defense can only truly be evaluated with him in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Last week only gave up one passing touchdown, picked off
Speaker 1: two passes, called Andy Dalton to a sixty two point
Speaker 1: nine ratings, stays in the pocket, puts handing, alters hands
Speaker 1: a bit, Brits taking a line by Yes, the only
Speaker 1: thing Andy Dalton and Joe Burrow haven't common at this
Speaker 1: point they both played quarterback for Cincinnati. Still, it's all
Speaker 1: we can work with. When it comes to the Steelers defense,
Speaker 1: what is that good? He didn't even sack Dalton, but
Speaker 1: Alex Highsmith did twice. He like others on their defense,
Speaker 1: so much more dangerous when what is out You watched
Speaker 1: the spin move it inside gets him with that back elbow.
Speaker 1: And when high Smith is war all one, high Spith
Speaker 1: is twice Steelers and what don't need maps to figure
Speaker 1: out how to get home versus Burrow. They've paid him
Speaker 1: plenty of visits in the past couple of years. And
Speaker 1: Burrow is faced at twenty nine point five pressure rate.
Speaker 1: That's high taken thirty sacks and nine games. What if
Speaker 1: the Bengals go heavier with their ground game than we
Speaker 1: might expect. Steelers are either getting a twenty two Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon back who's under four yards or carry or they
Speaker 1: could get pulk Hi Joe Mixon, except he outdid alban
Speaker 1: He by catching a touchdown as well. But four TV
Speaker 1: runs a hundred and fifty three yards almost seven to
Speaker 1: carry the last time we saw him in action. First
Speaker 1: down they run it with Rix and Mix on the
Speaker 1: sideline and stuffed out about Steelers rush defense versus running
Speaker 1: backs in four point two allowed. That's not terrible again
Speaker 1: though last week with what they held Alvin Camarat to
Speaker 1: twenty six yards three point three a character but on
Speaker 1: a broad with Camara very close to the stakes and
Speaker 1: it looks to be short. Pittsburgh's defense has pressure to
Speaker 1: keep the score low based on their typical two offensive output.
Speaker 1: Their defensive play last week allowed them to rely on
Speaker 1: their rush attack versus the Saints forty three attempts, Henny
Speaker 1: Pikett using his legs to make an impact over fifty
Speaker 1: yards six point for a run and a touchdowns the
Speaker 1: rights to Xel touchdown pos part. But the Steelers also
Speaker 1: got a productive game from Nausea Harris. In fact, it
Speaker 1: was his best showing of the season, close to a
Speaker 1: hundred yards five a run do the straights w all
Speaker 1: extends Timexis has got some more so Bengals versus runners
Speaker 1: four point four yards per carry allowed overall, four point
Speaker 1: one yards per carry allowed to running backs and four
Speaker 1: point three to quarterbacks, which is pretty good. So they're
Speaker 1: well equipped on this front. If Pittsburgh's passing game was
Speaker 1: called upon, it's not their strength. Pick It at least
Speaker 1: generated close to two hundred yards last week, didn't throw
Speaker 1: any I N T s and for now, that kind
Speaker 1: of performance is almost good for him. Shut out it's
Speaker 1: caught us. Yes, Steelers have to try and give him
Speaker 1: more time if they expect more than that from him.
Speaker 1: He took six sacks last night. Think Collapsie goes down.
Speaker 1: Bengals do have Trey Hendrickson and Sam Covered that could
Speaker 1: do something with that, but Cincinnati has only got fourteen
Speaker 1: sacks in nine games. That makes their against quarterbacks even
Speaker 1: more impressive. Pickt facing a defense that's held quarterbacks to
Speaker 1: a sub eight rating, sub sixty completion percentage, Bengals with
Speaker 1: a nine to eight E, D, T, I and T ratio,
Speaker 1: and it's an accepted. Look at the forty five by Germainet,
Speaker 1: you'd assume all ten voters would take Cincinnati. But Colleen
Speaker 1: Wolf calls for the Steelers upset trying to get in
Speaker 1: good with Pittsburgh Dad. Maybe the Atlanta Falcons in the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears get together in a matchup that could make
Speaker 1: the Rhode Island Stapleton's in Decatur, Staley's jealous for a
Speaker 1: Falcons touched out. These two teams offensive philosophies right in
Speaker 1: line with the legend John Madden's preferred way of travel.
Speaker 1: What a start? Twenty eight yards on the fields, rock,
Speaker 1: I'd say this will be the battle of three yards
Speaker 1: in a cloud of dust. But the game is in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: So three yards in a spritzle of little black plastic pellets. Wow,
Speaker 1: that sounds just as tough. You get what the preview
Speaker 1: headline is though, Right both off fences are run dominant,
Speaker 1: justin fields, maybe the most dominant runner in the game
Speaker 1: right now, down Bimody. This six hundred and seventy eight
Speaker 1: yards in week nine follows that up with a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty seven and week ten Bears offense looking more
Speaker 1: and more like Lamar in Baltimore. With each passing week
Speaker 1: field Tommy Angle, try it out race Okuda for the
Speaker 1: touchdown fields runs have either kept them competitive or have
Speaker 1: led to wins. So Atlanta's ability to handle running qbs
Speaker 1: six point three in attempt allowed. As a young Sarah
Speaker 1: Lynn would have put it, that's too much man. Girl's
Speaker 1: gonna take off its surprise everybody and get the first
Speaker 1: down and more. Falcons will get tested plenty by traditional
Speaker 1: runners Khalil Herbert and David Montgomery nineteen attempts combined in
Speaker 1: Week ten. Montgomery hit at four point one to carry.
Speaker 1: He gets his touches, but he's under four a run
Speaker 1: for the year. Still, the more explosive of the two
Speaker 1: continues to be Herbert fifty seven yards five point seven
Speaker 1: a carry last week, five a carry or better in
Speaker 1: three of his last four games, straight up a gut
Speaker 1: and in to the other zone front touchdown. Herbert did
Speaker 1: get hurt last week, so I have to monitor that.
Speaker 1: And for what it's worth, Falcons have allowed four point
Speaker 1: three a run to running backs. Not terrible, not great,
Speaker 1: But let's keep the run game convo going because Atlanta's
Speaker 1: offense has also spent the season relying on their rush
Speaker 1: attack to lead the way close to a hundred and
Speaker 1: forty yards last week five point five per Co and
Speaker 1: Marcus with a good run. Falcons have one of the
Speaker 1: highest rush attempt potals in the NFL, but never know
Speaker 1: who it is that's going to be effective. They roll
Speaker 1: with sort of a committee approach. Last week, Caleb Huntley,
Speaker 1: Avery Williams, Marcus Mariotta all hit at six or better
Speaker 1: running in and Mariota is going to get it with
Speaker 1: his legs. So what kind of run defense are they facing?
Speaker 1: Chicago has played quarterbacks and running backs exactly the same.
Speaker 1: So far not great. Four point six allowed to both positions.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the pitch Show. Tony Polar Star touchdown of
Speaker 1: the day. The passing offenses and defenses of both teams
Speaker 1: all fall under the X factor umbrella. Neither team throws
Speaker 1: a ton Fields is on the best run of his
Speaker 1: career as a passer, though, even if it doesn't include
Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards per game, He's been incredibly efficient,
Speaker 1: rating of nine plus in three straight games, seven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: just one I n T in that span. More often
Speaker 1: than before, he's finding the guys who get wide open
Speaker 1: due to defense is creeping in to stop him from bolting.
Speaker 1: Come at. Probably he's got it. The house still has
Speaker 1: to learn when not to force it, though that picky
Speaker 1: through last week. Hopefully a teachable moment, as they say,
Speaker 1: who go with the pick? Had Little one picks big
Speaker 1: one and takes it for a touchdown. Falcons haven't faced
Speaker 1: any quarterbacks or offenses that utilize Chicago or fields style,
Speaker 1: and part of that stile is getting taken down. His
Speaker 1: sack total is Jeffrey Lebowski High got up close with
Speaker 1: the grass three times in Week ten, the most sacked
Speaker 1: QB this year. Many times you actually have to sack them.
Speaker 1: Look at there's a lot, there's two three. So what
Speaker 1: happens when a stoppable force meets a completely movable object.
Speaker 1: Fields sacks taken total is on one side of the spectrum.
Speaker 1: Falcon sack total on defense also an extremely rough territory,
Speaker 1: just thirteen QB takedowns in Atlanta's lack of pressure is
Speaker 1: shown up on the back end and a half rate
Speaker 1: allowed close to passes being completed against them. So Fields
Speaker 1: might be able to keep his mojo Street going for
Speaker 1: the end zone. Come bait thing high to pull it in.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, Chicago's defense only has fifteen sacks
Speaker 1: a low twenties pressure rate, but the same deal they
Speaker 1: face a quarterback who just faced forty pressure last week
Speaker 1: that's not dude level, that's Cheach and Chong levels. If
Speaker 1: the old Dirty South melody is true, the Falcons want
Speaker 1: the Bears on the fifty yard line while the Dirty
Speaker 1: Birds kick for tree. I think it's supposed to say
Speaker 1: kick for three. It's probably a typo. And the Georgia
Speaker 1: Dome isn't around anymore. That's a long field goal to
Speaker 1: from the fifty. Who takes the Battle of the ground
Speaker 1: games eight votes for Chicago, Marcus Grant and DJ dissenting,
Speaker 1: with votes for Atlanta. The Carolina Panthers are on the
Speaker 1: road this week, feeling a little Lloyd Christmas. We're saying
Speaker 1: there's a chance, no matter what the down, if it's
Speaker 1: sad Tames does it again. They are heading north to Baltimore,
Speaker 1: which means they have to figure out how to stop
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and the Ravens run game. He's at the thirty.
Speaker 1: It's a like Grace forty. Lamar Jackson been building going forty,
Speaker 1: Ravens sitting six and three thanks to their run past
Speaker 1: split being back in line with previous successful seasons they've
Speaker 1: had in passing and fourth in RUSSI attempts after by
Speaker 1: five point five yards per carry second in Russia yards
Speaker 1: per game, ring to the left. He's got a crease,
Speaker 1: he's got a hole, he's got a touch. Yes, Lamar
Speaker 1: is the centerpiece. How Carolina handles him as a runner
Speaker 1: is crucial to them. Pulling an upset averages seven point
Speaker 1: for a run, leads the team and yards per game
Speaker 1: with seventy point six. And that is what Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: can bring to a game. So how does Carolina handle
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that take off against Marcus Mariota? Not great? Three
Speaker 1: carries last week fourteen yards per six carries forty three
Speaker 1: yards the first time Mariota. But they also faced Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones and Kyler Murray earlier this season and held them
Speaker 1: and check their body of work against quarterbacks running in
Speaker 1: good shape, flushed out, look out out about the kim k. However,
Speaker 1: Baltimore isn't back to its roots because Lamar is all
Speaker 1: of a sudden good at running, he still runs less
Speaker 1: on average than both the running backs Carolina has some
Speaker 1: try and off. Panthers have three different guys to try
Speaker 1: and contain on the ground. Gus Edwards, Kenyan Drake averaging
Speaker 1: twenty three attempts combined per game, both averaging four point
Speaker 1: seven or better per run Ti Baby. So the Panthers
Speaker 1: have to be able to play running backs well too.
Speaker 1: On that front, not as good as the quarterback front
Speaker 1: four point seven per run aloud. If Carolina cann holder
Speaker 1: ground against the action on the ground and force Baltimore
Speaker 1: to throw, then they have to be able to play
Speaker 1: the tight end position well. Lamar has solid numbers this
Speaker 1: year as a passer, but put it this way, Herkele
Speaker 1: could line up at tight end and he'd pull in
Speaker 1: a couple of catches a game from Jackson. He's targeted
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely ninety four times. Talk too
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the team, sixty two targets. He says,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to read, did I do that? Fires across
Speaker 1: a middle? Andrews hasn't the five turns and he's in
Speaker 1: for up touched out. How does the most popular target
Speaker 1: in Baltimore get that all. Panther's ground game can lead
Speaker 1: the way for their offense too, and at least try
Speaker 1: and keep it close. They have a mild advantage down low.
Speaker 1: Deonte Foreman last week a hundred and thirty yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown to the outside went rome and into the
Speaker 1: end zone. Touch the foreman now a hundred and eighteen
Speaker 1: plus yards and three of his last four games. Carolina
Speaker 1: has won two of those games and kept the other clothes.
Speaker 1: Pair that with Baltimore's rush defense four point three allowed overall,
Speaker 1: four point three allowed to running backs, So sort of
Speaker 1: basic against the run. To use a phrase from the
Speaker 1: parlance of our times, to do alright, I know this
Speaker 1: Raven super fan P two who I can already hear
Speaker 1: hold on man on sixties. You know we just got Ropewan.
Speaker 1: You know what that man did in his first game
Speaker 1: with the Raven Smith was all over Alvin Camara's a
Speaker 1: Baltimore three point two yards per carry allowed to the
Speaker 1: Saints in their last game. They're down at one camera.
Speaker 1: It didn't get it, but beyond X factor matchup in
Speaker 1: this contest, Carolina's passing attack Baltimore secondary P. J Walker
Speaker 1: through six team passes last week Carolina ran forty seven
Speaker 1: times and now it's back to Baker. Mayfield has been
Speaker 1: named starter because Walker is hurt. Baker did look good
Speaker 1: and mop up duty a couple of weeks ago. So
Speaker 1: there's that look down the sideline hatch ripped away by
Speaker 1: terrorists Marshall. Their entire passing attack is built around d J.
Speaker 1: Moore most games. More is the only significant threat Carolina
Speaker 1: has to offer up in this game. But this is
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Nine yards last week, under fifty
Speaker 1: yards per game for the year, trying to find the
Speaker 1: right combination d J. Mura even more problematic for Baker
Speaker 1: more spelled Marlin Humphrey. He's the Baltimore Racer holding two vs.
Speaker 1: To an eighty two point six rating. Two picks protect
Speaker 1: the holds up, be froze, and it's intercepted, picked up
Speaker 1: by Humphrey flock chalk. No one thinks Baker can overtake
Speaker 1: Baltimore on our panel of ten. NFL Game Debut is
