Speaker 1: NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: This is NFL Game Previews, and I'm game preview guy
Speaker 2: here with in depth primers on every single game that's
Speaker 2: going to be played. This week.
Speaker 3: Has got to the version Cowboys medicine. We'll come home
Speaker 3: see text week No Cowboys?
Speaker 2: Well well, well, good thing. These two teams have never
Speaker 2: played each other in the playoffs before Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2: They weren't even supposed to be here yet this soon
Speaker 2: us just shows you. Huey Lewis was right all along as.
Speaker 4: Love Well, Third and one wants to go up top,
Speaker 4: looks to the end zone. The pass is on the
Speaker 4: money for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: Dantavian Wicks have to see if the power of love
Speaker 2: is enough to beat Dallas Cowboys, the number two seed
Speaker 2: in the land and a beast to deal with at
Speaker 2: home day.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 2: This is a battle between the quarterback with the most
Speaker 2: TV passes in twenty twenty three d against the qb
Speaker 2: with the second most TV passes in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: Love looks airs it out down the middle, got his
Speaker 5: bad touched out.
Speaker 6: Jade and Raed who just broke the rookie receiving record.
Speaker 2: Green Bay has to try and do what no team
Speaker 2: was able to do this year. Beat the Cowboys at home.
Speaker 2: They went eight to no at Jerry's house, averaged thirty
Speaker 2: plus points per game.
Speaker 3: He score ever times, score every time in That's who
Speaker 3: we are. That's all standard.
Speaker 2: Packers went four and five as a road team. Their
Speaker 2: defense will be tested through the air. Dak Prescott put
Speaker 2: up MVP level numbers in twenty twenty three, if nothing else.
Speaker 2: On top of being the TV passing king, he put
Speaker 2: up the highest rate of a year he's ever had
Speaker 2: in his career good and here's the thing. Sacking Prescott
Speaker 2: doesn't equal derailing him. He didn't take any last week,
Speaker 2: but he's had lots of games where he went down
Speaker 2: three to four times and he leaves with good numbers.
Speaker 6: Otherwise, throws on the round in the middle of the
Speaker 6: alambic a fifty No lover get anywhere near one could
Speaker 6: croll it if they wanted to.
Speaker 2: Packers pass rush did not bag a ton of quarterbacks
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, but they do have threats. Rashawn
Speaker 2: Gary nine sacks me about to.
Speaker 3: Win it because us up front four seven straight straight word.
Speaker 2: Preston Smith eight.
Speaker 3: Smith knocked it out, well, it is free and Packers
Speaker 3: have it.
Speaker 2: Kenny Clark and DeVante Wyatt both five plus. Still, Prescott's
Speaker 2: not taking on a stout defense in the big picture,
Speaker 2: points per game, yards per game, third down, red zone,
Speaker 2: all sort of meddling for Green Bays defense. Only one
Speaker 2: team had fewer i iNTS in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they first out it's flour to the forty inside
Speaker 7: the thirty five of the thirty or the twenty five
Speaker 7: of the twenty.
Speaker 2: Cowboys offense top five in points per game and yards
Speaker 2: per game. It was one of the best this year.
Speaker 5: On the fake press around, Prescott goes into the Coroner Arts.
Speaker 7: Cup touchdown Dallas Jalen.
Speaker 2: Tolbert Packers DBS gave up a fairly high rate to quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: gave up a lot of splash plays compared to others.
Speaker 2: And how about this for their matchup with CD Lamb,
Speaker 2: they gave up one hundred point three rating to wide
Speaker 2: receivers In twenty twenty three, only four teams were worse.
Speaker 3: Looking for someone on clever Cock for the outcode touchdown.
Speaker 2: Diet Lamb led the league in receptions in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: second in receiving yards twelve touchdowns.
Speaker 8: Yeah with the boy in a building that how Cowboys
Speaker 8: the pret y'all looking.
Speaker 7: Boy to get out going out home for the playoffs.
Speaker 9: Man, oh boy.
Speaker 2: Randon Cooks could also be a problem. He scored eight
Speaker 2: times this year over six hundred yards going.
Speaker 5: For the corner he count hes got it, It's another
Speaker 5: touchdown Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson's second most targeted dude on
Speaker 2: the team over seven hundred yards this season.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Presscott, he throws it on the middle of Ferguson.
Speaker 3: Ferguson down inside the five.
Speaker 2: Packers defense versus tight ends a one oh five point
Speaker 2: eight rating allowed twenty third.
Speaker 4: Oh comet holtz On he got leveled by Savage.
Speaker 2: The position they played the best in the passing game
Speaker 2: this season running back and Prescott does rely on Tony
Speaker 2: Pollard a lot. He was fourth in targets for them
Speaker 2: As a runner. Pollard was good for forur a carey.
Speaker 2: He played a keep him honest roll most weeks.
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard getting some big chunks right now.
Speaker 2: Packers defense average versus running backs this year gave up
Speaker 2: four point two a run to the position. With the
Speaker 2: Cowboys seeming to own the edge when they have the ball,
Speaker 2: Jordan Lovin company may need to provide something special when
Speaker 2: the pack has the rock, and he seems plenty capable
Speaker 2: of providing.
Speaker 4: Lately, as Love goes down the field and throws a strike,
Speaker 4: that's Wix with the catch. This young receiving corps making
Speaker 4: plays all over all season long.
Speaker 2: Prescott led the league in tds in twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: loveless second and he comes in on fire one hundred plus,
Speaker 2: rating games seven of his last eight.
Speaker 6: He steps up, looking around, waits, throws ends out touchdown
Speaker 6: wide open.
Speaker 2: Can you produce under pressure? Micah Parsons is coming? Fourteen
Speaker 2: bags in twenty twenty three?
Speaker 3: How goes down?
Speaker 5: It's Micah Parsons and now a new career high in
Speaker 5: sacks with fourteen.
Speaker 2: Dallas with a plus forty two percent QB pressure rate
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. That was first They blitzed over
Speaker 2: thirty three percent of the time. That's eighth highest squaring
Speaker 2: off with an O line that allowed just thirty sacks
Speaker 2: for the year. That's top three. Good right out and
Speaker 2: loves rate versus the blitz ninety eight eleven touchdowns only
Speaker 2: one i INT so buyer, beware Green Bay's passing attack.
Speaker 2: It's usually wide receiver heavy. Just don't know which wide
Speaker 2: receiver it might be. Last couple of weeks, though, it's
Speaker 2: been more Jaden Reed and Bo Melton read with four
Speaker 2: catches one hundred and twelve yards versus the Bears last
Speaker 2: week eighty nine yards. The week before, bed I saw you,
Speaker 2: Melton had over one hundred yards week seventeen, then he
Speaker 2: had over sixty a week ago.
Speaker 4: Guns it, he's got Meltzon, He's got Melton to about
Speaker 4: the fifty yard line.
Speaker 2: Don Tavian Wicks sixty one yards versus the Bears sixty
Speaker 2: one and two of their last three. Those dudes doing
Speaker 2: battle with the NFL's i INT King. Duran Bland picked
Speaker 2: his ninth ball of the year last week. Tops in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: McLaurin, it's deep, it's underd throne, it's intercepted Toron. Bland
Speaker 5: has another, his league leading ninth of the year.
Speaker 2: Stefan Gilmour. On the other side, Cowboys held wide receivers
Speaker 2: to a seventy seven point eight rating, fourth lowest.
Speaker 3: Flip it out to how he's got a man open.
Speaker 3: It's the town.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's almost intercepted, but Claurin what's open? But Kilmore
Speaker 5: recovered to save it.
Speaker 2: How about the Packers run game Aaron Jones last week
Speaker 2: one hundred eleven yards five per run.
Speaker 4: There's Jones. Look at that lane, Look at Jones. Into
Speaker 4: the secondary.
Speaker 2: Jones is rolling one hundred and ten plus rush yards
Speaker 2: and three straight each one hitting a five a run er.
Speaker 3: Better to the edge here, Jones caravan to the secondary.
Speaker 2: Dallas holding running backs to four a carry. Not bad,
Speaker 2: tied for ten.
Speaker 3: Mich The Carsons wraps him up for no game.
Speaker 2: Cowboys ended up with a top five defense in points
Speaker 2: per game and yards per game.
Speaker 3: He is in trouble. He is stacked up.
Speaker 5: Tom Clark was there first set a fourth out stop
Speaker 5: by the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Let's say it comes down to the wire.
Speaker 3: Dallas has a.
Speaker 2: Kicker who's only missed two NFL field goal attempts in
Speaker 2: his life.
Speaker 3: Drilled. Alright, he's back. All right, we are right back.
Speaker 3: We're good. Can I announce that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, we're good.
Speaker 3: We're good. We're good. We're good.
Speaker 2: Okay. Brandon Aubrey was thirty five for thirty five prior
Speaker 2: to last week, the rookie missed his first two tries.
Speaker 2: Packers roll in with the Carlson Anders made eighty one
Speaker 2: point eight percent of his attempts this year. He missed
Speaker 2: six for the season. Fifty three yarder for the rookies.
Speaker 1: Long is the.
Speaker 4: Field goal try by Carlson is good from twenty five
Speaker 4: Love Prescott.
Speaker 2: This is the Dallas Green Bay playoff rubber match. There
Speaker 2: four and four in the postseason. Pack took the last
Speaker 2: two games and the pass.
Speaker 3: Is incomplete, out of bounds.
Speaker 6: Now they say complete this to send the Packers into
Speaker 6: the NFC Championship gap.
Speaker 3: Its good. The Packers are moving on.
Speaker 2: This is a classic NFC playoff rivalry. America's team Scooter McGruder,
Speaker 2: Title Town USA, the Grossi posse, Who do you got?
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins get a second shot at the Kansas
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, this time in the playoffs, this time at Arrowhead,
Speaker 2: which means it's time for the real reunion with the
Speaker 2: Cheetah Baby.
Speaker 3: But throw to the medal.
Speaker 2: It wasn't fair to the football universe that when Tyreek
Speaker 2: Hill faced off with his old mates on foreign soil.
Speaker 2: Maybe Karmas set things right, But this is round two
Speaker 2: for these two teams. Kansas City beat Miami Week nine
Speaker 2: in Germany, twenty one to fourteen.
Speaker 3: So where they can sco figu.
Speaker 2: That game was very symbolic of the twenty twenty three Chiefs,
Speaker 2: a team that sort of struggles offensively but can hold
Speaker 2: the best of offenses in check. They held Tyreek to
Speaker 2: sixty two yards and he really wanted to give Andy
Speaker 2: Reid the business. Instead, he gave him the ball.
Speaker 3: Tyrek Hill hit right the stomach, thubles the ball dick
Speaker 3: that by Kansas.
Speaker 2: City Chiefs defense held to a tongue of Iiloa to
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety three yards, only one touchdown in
Speaker 2: a sub ninety ratings.
Speaker 8: Nycup Scott for you, and that is a huge stop
Speaker 8: by the Chiefs defense.
Speaker 2: Casey held Jalen Waddle to forty two yards in that game.
Speaker 2: Question is can they do all that again to a
Speaker 2: led the league in passing yardage through twenty nine tod
Speaker 2: passes rate tune to k Earth one oh one point one.
Speaker 2: Guess he likes the classics.
Speaker 6: To a deep doubt fail to a perfect pass that
Speaker 6: Tyreek killed and it never gets old.
Speaker 2: Hill one hundred and nineteen receptions that was tied for
Speaker 2: second most. He led the NFL in yardage with seventeen
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety nine yards thirteen receiving touchdowns, tied for first.
Speaker 3: What a throwing cats right on the money.
Speaker 2: One on what Tyreek hillro Miami's offense will be shorthanded
Speaker 2: this week, though Waddle went for one thousand plus yards.
Speaker 2: He's out.
Speaker 5: Heawns Wadley's got up touchdown Miami.
Speaker 2: And running back Raheem Moster will also miss the game.
Speaker 2: He led the NFL in rushing tds this year with
Speaker 2: eighteen went for over one thousand rushing yards on four
Speaker 2: point eight to carry.
Speaker 3: Still there touchdown.
Speaker 2: Hey hey, hey, so Miami's ground game will be in
Speaker 2: the hands of Devon ah Chan eight hundred yards even
Speaker 2: seven point eight to run this season eight touchdowns, so
Speaker 2: not a bad fallback.
Speaker 3: Eight ten the band Welcome back to mister a Chan.
Speaker 2: Eight Chan is lined up to make an impact in
Speaker 2: this game. Based on how Kansas City played running backs
Speaker 2: in twenty three. He gave up four point six to
Speaker 2: carry to the position. Only one team gave up a
Speaker 2: higher figure. Monster still out a straight had he got
Speaker 2: some pass midfield Chiefs pass rush played a huge role
Speaker 2: in beating Miami in round one. They sacked two of
Speaker 2: three times. Kansas City finished second in sacks for the season,
Speaker 2: second in QB hits two those down.
Speaker 7: Steve Spagnol is so good at drawing up those third
Speaker 7: down pressure.
Speaker 2: Defensive end Michael Dana had six and a half sacks.
Speaker 2: Charles and Menaheue had seven. Defensive end George carloftis ten
Speaker 2: and a half and they got.
Speaker 6: Him back at the eleven yard line. Carlaftus is in there, Amnaheu.
Speaker 2: The interior of Miami's O line, of course, has Chris
Speaker 2: Jones to deal with ten and a half sacks For
Speaker 2: that bloke on the year.
Speaker 3: At press shirt, He's gone down. Chris Jones why.
Speaker 4: It didn't take a long to make his presence felt.
Speaker 2: Dolphins only gave up thirty one sacks for the season,
Speaker 2: though that was tied for fourth fewest. Nobody's better in
Speaker 2: the NFL at throwing it quick and getting the ball downfield.
Speaker 2: But Miami lost six games, and in five of them,
Speaker 2: Toungue of I Low was sacked three times. So it
Speaker 2: remains the best way to stop Miami's aerial attack.
Speaker 3: It trebled trip.
Speaker 2: Primary responsibility for shadowing hill Lands with Lugerius. Snead held
Speaker 2: quarterbacks to a fifty five point five rating while traveling
Speaker 2: with the best receivers.
Speaker 10: Sneid is the one guy who takes away the opposing
Speaker 10: team's top player week in week out.
Speaker 2: TUA faces a secondary that finished eighth in rating allowed
Speaker 2: at eighty three point six. The Chiefs held quarterbacks to
Speaker 2: six yards per attempt, third lowest in the league, nine
Speaker 2: point nine yards per completion allowed, also third lowest.
Speaker 4: Fine time and he's picked off? Is it a momentum changer?
Speaker 3: Take play here?
Speaker 2: Kansas City's defense second in points per game allowed for
Speaker 2: the season, Miami's offense second in scoring two.
Speaker 3: Forty in Town and Wilson touchdown.
Speaker 2: The battle on the other side of things not on
Speaker 2: those elite levels. Patrick Mahomes has not had the kind
Speaker 2: of year anyone is used to seeing from him. Through
Speaker 2: fourteen interceptions, most in his career, a ninety two point
Speaker 2: six rating the lowest in his career, FWSD yards per attempt,
Speaker 2: fewusdyards per completion, fust yards per game in his career, and.
Speaker 3: Ace up to down the sideline, back to back play
Speaker 3: for the defense.
Speaker 2: Chiefs pass catchers. Leading the league in dropped balls didn't help,
Speaker 2: and Mahomes play still landed him in the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2: He threw twenty seven touchdowns averaged over two hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty yards per game, so it's all relative.
Speaker 7: Shovel inside him at ten and the Jet finds the
Speaker 7: end z out touchdown guy Dawg.
Speaker 2: And he did have one of his better outings versus
Speaker 2: Miami's defense two touchdowns, no picks, a plus one hundred rate.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs don't take long the score first.
Speaker 2: Secondary Mahomes faces off with gave up three hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards to Josh Allen last week, a plus
Speaker 2: one hundred rating. Miami twenty fourth and rating allowed this
Speaker 2: year at ninety three. They were twenty eighth in completion
Speaker 2: percentage allowed. Pass defense wasn't a strong point for them
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 3: As a wide open broken coverage.
Speaker 2: Now Jalen Ramsey has been doing his part since returning
Speaker 2: from injury. Leads the team in i iNTS with three
Speaker 2: despite only playing ten games, a sixty six point two
Speaker 2: rating allowed.
Speaker 6: And picked by Jalen Ramsey Welcome to the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: He covers the left side of the field for Miami
Speaker 2: Xavien Howard the right. Howard didn't have a great year,
Speaker 2: but not terrible. X is rating allowed ninety one. The
Speaker 2: primary guy. Those two will have eyes on Rashi Rice
Speaker 2: nine hundred and thirty eight yards, seven t ds as
Speaker 2: a rookie.
Speaker 9: Heads on the fudden touchdown Rashie Rise with an explosive play.
Speaker 2: Dolphins didn't lock wideouts up this year, ninety six rating
Speaker 2: allowed to the position that was twenty second. They gave
Speaker 2: up a one to oh eight point three rate to
Speaker 2: tight ends seven touchdowns, only one pick, and now they
Speaker 2: take on Travis Swift Kelsey second most yards for a
Speaker 2: tight end in twenty twenty three at nine to eighty four.
Speaker 7: Now past top forty yard line wide ophens, he gets
Speaker 7: tackled at.
Speaker 3: The five yard line.
Speaker 2: Dolphins may not have had a great year versus the pass,
Speaker 2: but their pass rush can make a difference. They were
Speaker 2: third in sacks, had the most QB hits.
Speaker 4: Why the pressure today is unbelievable and it's coming from everybody.
Speaker 2: One problem for Miami is they've lost both their starting
Speaker 2: defensive ends, but they are stacked in the middle though
Speaker 2: Zach Sealer ten sacks for the season. Zach Christian Wilkins
Speaker 2: with nine alick and.
Speaker 6: Trouble across the fuck Ones taking a legs from him,
Speaker 6: Christian Wilkins going in for the sack.
Speaker 2: They go up against the Kansas City line. That's like Miami's.
Speaker 2: They didn't allow many pass rushers to make it home
Speaker 2: to see Holmes twenty eight sacks taken second fewest that
Speaker 2: time in the.
Speaker 4: Pocket and he's got a man open at the thirty five.
Speaker 2: Chiefs O line did a nice job paving the way
Speaker 2: for running back Isaiah pt Checko too, nine hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty five yards for the rookie four point six yards
Speaker 2: per carry, seven scores. A sealer and Wilkins also make
Speaker 2: it tough on runners, though, Dolphins holding running backs to
Speaker 2: three point eight to carry tied for fifth lowest.
Speaker 3: Come on, come home, you know what covin we.
Speaker 2: Go Miami twenty second points per game allowed on defense,
Speaker 2: Kansas City fifteenth and scoring on offense. Chiefs were not
Speaker 2: a lock to win anywhere this year either. Arrowhead was
Speaker 2: no different. Lost four games there, three of them to
Speaker 2: above five hundred teams and the Lions, Eagles, and Bills.
Speaker 5: There is a flag offside number nineteen.
Speaker 2: Offense Miami, though only beat one above five hundred team
Speaker 2: all season at home versus Dallas. Five of their six
Speaker 2: losses to teams with more wins than losses.
Speaker 11: Look at end zone for the touchdown shifty Burger.
Speaker 2: Both teams offenses gave the ball away a lot this year,
Speaker 2: so watch for the turnover battle if it comes down
Speaker 2: to a field goal. Jason Sanders was twenty four of
Speaker 2: twenty eight for the season, has hit his last ten
Speaker 2: in a row.
Speaker 3: Up it is.
Speaker 5: Drilled Bollyan's he'd been good today. Three field goals all
Speaker 5: over fifty yards.
Speaker 2: Harrison Butker thirty three for thirty five this year, hasn't
Speaker 2: missed an extra point.
Speaker 6: And Harrison Butker is the only man to score in
Speaker 6: the last one hour and fifty three minutes.
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel Andy Reid two of the best offensive mines
Speaker 2: in the game. Two of the funniest coaches going.
Speaker 3: Hey have we had a helmet?
Speaker 5: Let's Football League?
Speaker 3: Give me the face of it.
Speaker 2: Miami and Kansas City have played three times in the playoffs,
Speaker 2: Dolphins winning all three. The first and all time classic
Speaker 2: longest game in NFL history double ot game on Christmas
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty four. Miami wins it.
Speaker 9: I was happy that we won, certainly, but I'll be
Speaker 9: honest with you, I was almost just as happy that
Speaker 9: that damn game was over.
Speaker 2: Does Kansas City beat Miami in the playoffs for the
Speaker 2: first time ever? Or does Miami move on to play
Speaker 2: another day?
Speaker 3: All right, you all saw that banner out there.
Speaker 2: We got more of those things to hang out.
Speaker 3: Let's go to work.
Speaker 2: You can't script these kind of things, right am I
Speaker 2: allowed to say that. You know, we're ready, Yeah, we're ready.
Speaker 9: It feels like we've been waiting for quite some time
Speaker 9: to get these opportunities.
Speaker 12: We know that we're going to Detroit next week. We're
Speaker 12: really excited about that opportunity.
Speaker 2: For philby Rockin and it'll be fun. Matthew Stafford and
Speaker 2: the Rams roll into the playoffs winners of seven of
Speaker 2: their last eight.
Speaker 12: Light Let's tell what, all right, I'm really excited about
Speaker 12: Matthew leading us. He's done a great job this year.
Speaker 2: Stafford hoping to win a playoff game this week in
Speaker 2: the city of Detroit against Jared Gough, who he was
Speaker 2: traded for a few years ago. So you know, no
Speaker 2: hard feelings, Okay, I'm fond.
Speaker 12: I have more appreciation for him. You know, as time
Speaker 12: goes on, he throw from.
Speaker 3: Golf down the sideline, Sam Brown.
Speaker 12: He's nothing but a class act. And man did he
Speaker 12: do a lot of really good things here for us,
Speaker 12: and he's done great stuff for them.
Speaker 2: This is telenovela material, so let's get to it. Jared
Speaker 2: Goff traded away by the Rams. They gave up on him.
Speaker 12: You guys know, there's there's different things that occurred, but
Speaker 12: there's nothing but good vibes.
Speaker 5: On my end.
Speaker 2: He wasn't the guy that would win it all for them.
Speaker 2: Why on?
Speaker 5: Why on?
Speaker 2: Goff threw for thirty touchdowns this year, just twelve picks.
Speaker 3: Golf to the NZEL touchdown bills put not a show.
Speaker 2: Not many quarterbacks had a better year than Goff.
Speaker 1: Right, Dad went about eight a couple of years to
Speaker 1: go to where you are now. Man.
Speaker 9: Credit He never gets too high, never gets too low,
Speaker 9: and I think that's exactly where you want your quarterback
Speaker 9: to be.
Speaker 2: Stafford didn't, but he wasn't bad either. And now he
Speaker 2: goes back home for a postseason game and Joy still
Speaker 2: got it trying to sadden fans that were his jerseys
Speaker 2: for years. Gather Right hit him at twenty four touchdowns,
Speaker 2: eleven picks over two hundred and sixty yards passing this season.
Speaker 3: On the pocket, he deals.
Speaker 6: Down the scene, HiT's caught, have it film, look up
Speaker 6: to the crowd.
Speaker 2: So who has the best chance to shine versus their
Speaker 2: ex Stafford faces a Detroit secondary that recently gave up
Speaker 2: over four hundred yards to Nick Mullins, then gave up
Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety six to him last week.
Speaker 3: It's a big ball.
Speaker 7: It's Twofferson for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: Detroit did not farewell versus the pass in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: ninety one point five rating allowed to quarterbacks that was
Speaker 2: twenty second.
Speaker 6: West got able to get out of the end zone
Speaker 6: and now airs it out for Lamb he's gone, He's gone.
Speaker 2: And versus wideouts, which is especially relevant versus LA's passing attack,
Speaker 2: Detroit allowed a rating of ninety six point four that
Speaker 2: was twenty fourth. Cornerbacks Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs allowed
Speaker 2: rates over ninety nine each this year.
Speaker 7: Mullen's now once it all with Edison touchdown.
Speaker 3: They're running right past them.
Speaker 2: Now those dudes go up against Cooper Cup.
Speaker 3: What all I thought you had?
Speaker 7: Like anime?
Speaker 2: No Cup only averaged sixty one yards per game this year,
Speaker 2: but that's because Pooka Nakua broke the record for receiving
Speaker 2: yards by a rookie with fourteen and eighty six had
Speaker 2: one hundred and five catches.
Speaker 12: I did think it was the record, but then nobody
Speaker 12: was celebrated with me.
Speaker 4: What hafter?
Speaker 2: The Lion's secondary also has to worry about DeMarcus Robinson
Speaker 2: four touchdowns in his last four games.
Speaker 5: Stafford looking one way then the other, throws cut the
Speaker 5: Marcus Robinson.
Speaker 3: Having the night of night.
Speaker 2: Can Detroit's pass rush make a difference.
Speaker 3: The oldest right here man, Just fimetime man.
Speaker 2: There's the Aiden Hutchinson factor. Hutch with two sacks last week,
Speaker 2: five in his last two games to finish with eleven
Speaker 2: and a half.
Speaker 8: Aiden Hutchinson again, Oh, he's killing that tackle.
Speaker 3: He is killing him today.
Speaker 2: Hutchinson attacks quarterbacks from both sides. Wow rams left tackle
Speaker 2: spot being held down by a backup Laric Jackson. He
Speaker 2: hasn't been bad though. Rams O line is held up
Speaker 2: well this year top ten and sack percentage allowed, so
Speaker 2: not a given. Hutchinson can get home versus Stafford.
Speaker 3: Wait fakes set up a throw.
Speaker 7: Full sid keep down the left side, noe.
Speaker 3: Near cup cut, the Toney.
Speaker 2: Cut touch to the ends up and where the Rams
Speaker 2: big Uglies really excelled. Run blocking Kyron Williams as important
Speaker 2: to their offensive success as anyone.
Speaker 5: Williams first a scool after the secondary He's gone.
Speaker 2: Williams led the NFL in rushing yards per game. When
Speaker 2: he hit eighty yards in a game, LA went seven
Speaker 2: to one.
Speaker 11: Good night than mad daughter, that you are well.
Speaker 3: Do not worry about it, think I to Williams. Trying
Speaker 3: get to be insta makes a miss to his left.
Speaker 3: He's inside commander's territory.
Speaker 2: The Detroit run defense he faces held running backs to
Speaker 2: three point five yards per carry, third lowest Lions linebackers
Speaker 2: Jack Campbell and Alex Anzeloni are legit.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Alex Jack Campbell those guys again, it's a.
Speaker 3: Welcome sight to see that defense. Gang tackling to go demo.
Speaker 2: As were the run games for both offenses are vital
Speaker 2: to their success. Detroit's thunder and lightning approach sets up
Speaker 2: their Oh. David Montgomery over one thousand yards and twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three thirteen scores.
Speaker 7: Dots the outside come down the same line cost Contgomery,
Speaker 7: He's gonna.
Speaker 2: Go Jamior Gibbs close to one thousand rushing yards. Ten tds.
Speaker 6: They hand at Gibbs and Gibbs breaks in touchdown one.
Speaker 3: A night for the road. Great wow.
Speaker 2: LA gave up four point one or runder running backs
Speaker 2: that's in the average range. Linebacker Ernest Jones will be
Speaker 2: in the spotlight. He set the Rams single season record
Speaker 2: for tackles.
Speaker 11: No gain on the play.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Ernest Jones.
Speaker 2: If LA struggles with Montgomery and Gibbs, Goff and Amanra
Speaker 2: Saint Brown become that much harder to stop. Saint Brown
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty four yards in a TD last week,
Speaker 2: finished in the top five four receiving yards for the year,
Speaker 2: Tierra Drift.
Speaker 11: Look look now he grows downfield, it is caught left
Speaker 11: sideline cutting back.
Speaker 3: That is I'm and Ross Dave Brown, Ankley at the
Speaker 3: twenty five to the twenty to the fifteen cup back
Speaker 3: at the ten.
Speaker 11: I'mn Rod to five fighting at the two in the
Speaker 11: endo touchdown.
Speaker 2: The Toad lines Khalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds will need
Speaker 2: to be leaned on as well, especially if Detroit doesn't
Speaker 2: have tied end and Sam Laporta, who hurt his knee
Speaker 2: last week. He hasn't been ruled out yet, and he
Speaker 2: had a record breaking rookie year.
Speaker 9: You can't replace the chemistry, but you know his next
Speaker 9: man up.
Speaker 2: Raymond and Reynolds put up forty plus yards each last week.
Speaker 2: They filled gaps for Detroit all season.
Speaker 3: Goffloads up, Let's end rip man open perfect try Kylie
Speaker 3: Raymond then again seen you got it?
Speaker 2: Just what Rams defense? Their dbs have played wide receivers well.
Speaker 2: They've held him to an eighty eight point seven rating
Speaker 2: That was twelve best cornerback of Kello Witherspoon their best cornerback,
Speaker 2: holding quarterbacks to an eighty one point nine rate.
Speaker 7: Jackson well protected, going dad for Bateman better Sacard go.
Speaker 3: Can a weather screwed.
Speaker 2: Rams pass rush versus Detroit's O line is beef central
Speaker 2: as well. Tha rush Aaron Donald pro bowler eight sacks.
Speaker 3: Pressure coming It's Donald again. Two sacks today.
Speaker 2: Rookie Byron Young nabbed his eighth sack last week for
Speaker 2: the Rams.
Speaker 3: Byron Yeo with his eighth sack, Stafford loves it and.
Speaker 2: Rookie nose tackle Kobe Turner ended his year with nine.
Speaker 3: Pressure up the middle. Taylor in trouble it down, He
Speaker 3: goes Kobe Turner the fantasy football I don't get it.
Speaker 2: So the interior of Detroit's O line is going to
Speaker 2: be tested. They usually passed the test. Lion's top five
Speaker 2: in sacks allowed this season.
Speaker 3: Goff looking up Tod Let's have rip on and off.
Speaker 3: Saint Brown is loosing down the sideline.
Speaker 2: If the game is close, La is in sketchy territory.
Speaker 2: Kicking game has been a mess for them this year.
Speaker 2: It's now on the feet of Brett Mauter. He missed
Speaker 2: an extra point last week and he doesn't have a
Speaker 2: great recent playoff showing.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, bred Bacher. Sure we're gonna have some discussions
Speaker 3: about this in the second half.
Speaker 2: Lions kicking game. Michael Badgeley he's only been holding it
Speaker 2: down for four games, but he's gone four for four.
Speaker 2: Stafford already faced Detroit once.
Speaker 7: I love see it.
Speaker 3: Hey, Abrea, you gouts are playing good man, keep fighting.
Speaker 2: He beat them. He threw for over three hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty yards. Goff got picked off twice.
Speaker 3: Right back got right, got my cup at the pylon.
Speaker 3: He goes, They're born.
Speaker 6: He got in.
Speaker 2: This is the first playoff game in Detroit in thirty years.
Speaker 3: This year.
Speaker 2: The second time the two have faced each other ever
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty two, the Lions beat the Rams thirty one
Speaker 2: to twenty one.
Speaker 7: We are a rebellion teams, gentlemen, were gonna.
Speaker 2: Find a way to win.
Speaker 12: Happy for all those guys, and now here we go.
Speaker 9: Well, we didn't coach well enough, we didn't play well enough,
Speaker 9: and you know, there's not early an explanation, and we
Speaker 9: just didn't do the things we needed to do to
Speaker 9: be successful. And that starts with me.
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles have to hit the road for the playoffs,
Speaker 2: off to Tampa Bay for a wild card matchup with
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers, fresh off pitching a shutout. Ruling on the
Speaker 2: field was reversed. It is not a panther touchdown.
Speaker 11: The ball was stripped away by Antoine Winfield rolled through
Speaker 11: the ends all so there's no points on the board
Speaker 11: and the Bucks take over.
Speaker 2: Let's just get it out of the way. This is
Speaker 2: not a matchup of two teams barreling into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: The Eagles have lost five of their last six games.
Speaker 11: Hurts taking a deep shit god. Terrific defensive play McKinny,
Speaker 11: but he was out of bouts.
Speaker 3: The New York Giant player didn't intercept the.
Speaker 2: Ball going up against a Buccaneers team that couldn't score
Speaker 2: a TD against the worst team in the NFL in
Speaker 2: a must win game last week. That's okay, though one
Speaker 2: of these two teams comes out a winner and has
Speaker 2: as much momentum as any other team. Well, Buccaneers at
Speaker 2: the very least can say they gave up zero points
Speaker 2: in their most recent outing pressure.
Speaker 7: Coming fault zip away, chipped away and recovered by the
Speaker 7: Buccaneers quarterback sack Jts Jts with a sack of a
Speaker 7: strip Heather Box recover those.
Speaker 2: Ball that Tampa Bay defense coming in off a shutout,
Speaker 2: facing a Philadelphia offense that was only able to put
Speaker 2: up ten points last week on a team with nothing
Speaker 2: to play for. Eagles haven't scored twenty points in three
Speaker 2: of their last five.
Speaker 11: Playfake well time, AJ Brown coughs up.
Speaker 3: The football Giants.
Speaker 2: Have it question for Philadelphia how healthy will they be?
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts hurt his finger in their lost to New
Speaker 2: York last week on his throwing hand. He didn't finished
Speaker 2: the game. He left with a twenty six point eight
Speaker 2: rating no touchdown with one pick. He's ended with a
Speaker 2: sub ninety rate five of his last six games.
Speaker 11: We'll throw the deep on on the rainbow, and it's
Speaker 11: too far for Watkins.
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's offense also saw star wide receiver AJ Brown leave
Speaker 2: the game hurt.
Speaker 9: It's a tough thing to have to go through an
Speaker 9: injury and to play through injury. I'm hoping that he's okay,
Speaker 9: but we'll see.
Speaker 2: As the weak host and DeVante Smith didn't play last
Speaker 2: week either. When they have both those guys and tight
Speaker 2: end Dallas Goddard all healthy and playing, Philadelphia can score.
Speaker 2: They were top ten in points per game and yards
Speaker 2: per game in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 7: Hurts scrambles. Hurts has got it wide open for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: So the Eagles offense hasn't been bad by any means.
Speaker 2: Stacked against a Bucks defense top ten in points per
Speaker 2: game allow.
Speaker 3: Look ten the.
Speaker 5: Good football another turnover by Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Bucks pass rush not bad this season, top ten in sacks.
Speaker 2: It was a committee approach kind of deal.
Speaker 3: Tegos built on the club to Vnto didd.
Speaker 2: Eagles pass protection eleventh in sacks allowed, So that's a
Speaker 2: beefy matchup Hurts.
Speaker 11: Deep drop, step and throw underneath caught by Julio Jones.
Speaker 2: Buccaneers were one of the hardest teams to run on.
Speaker 2: That's important when you face the Eagles. They held ball
Speaker 2: carriers to three point eight yards per run this season.
Speaker 9: Handed it off to Hubbard and he is wrapped up
Speaker 9: and thrown down by Devin White.
Speaker 2: Philadelphia was sixth in rushing attempts. Hurts only average three
Speaker 2: point nine and carry for the season, but that's because
Speaker 2: of all those tush pushes. DeAndre Swift four point six
Speaker 2: a carry over one thousand rushing yards. The Swift that
Speaker 2: actually matters to NFL football also sat out last week.
Speaker 7: The short side, they go for Swift with a head
Speaker 7: of steam and lars the shorter end of Cardinals territory.
Speaker 7: We're authority running over Buddha Baker for sixteen.
Speaker 2: What kind of secondary is Hurts dealing with? Bucks not
Speaker 2: overly strong against the pass, A ninety two rating allowed
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks, twenty second.
Speaker 3: Car throwing en zone, it's cock for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: Now, both teams offenses do have potential. Both teams offenses
Speaker 2: just haven't sparkled as of late. Baker Mayfield had a
Speaker 2: great twenty twenty three, twenty eight touchdowns ten I in
Speaker 2: T's he looked like a number one pick At times
Speaker 2: it's tough.
Speaker 3: Then what a turn of the touchdown? Such of the
Speaker 3: play gets place, turn it again.
Speaker 2: Baker ended the year with one hundred and thirty seven
Speaker 2: yard outing four point three yards per attempt against the
Speaker 2: worst team in the NFL. Doesn't come in hot and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of room for improvement. Now we're in
Speaker 2: the playoffs for division champs, and so let's hit the
Speaker 2: resaid button in Bucks pass catchers nothing much last week.
Speaker 2: Plenty capable of showing out though Mike Evans twelve hundred
Speaker 2: plus yards this season.
Speaker 3: Mayfield to the end zone, Evans touchdown.
Speaker 2: Chris Godwin also over one thousand yards for the year.
Speaker 3: Mayfield looking deep. He's got conwin with a.
Speaker 2: Big Kish Eagles d Bees did not handle wide receivers
Speaker 2: well this year one hundred and one point four rating
Speaker 2: allowed to wide outs. Only three teams gave up a
Speaker 2: higher rating.
Speaker 7: Press are coming in Zoe Wilson touchdown, the ft down,
Speaker 7: gamble pays off.
Speaker 2: Rashad White has emerged as a key piece to Tampa's
Speaker 2: offense nine hundred and ninety rushing yards this year over
Speaker 2: five hundred receiving.
Speaker 3: Now over the middle of Heascott Rashad White into Green
Speaker 3: Bay territory.
Speaker 2: Philadelphia held running backs to for a run that's above average.
Speaker 3: Here's Cotner that works blown up Moro a joemo.
Speaker 2: What if the game is on the line. Eagles kicker
Speaker 2: Jake Elliott has hit from sixty one yards. He made
Speaker 2: ninety three point eight percent of his kicks, sixth best.
Speaker 7: And if there's one thing you've been able to count
Speaker 7: on as an Eagles fan, it has been that guy
Speaker 7: Jake Elliott.
Speaker 2: Bucks rolling with Chase mclarone, kicker tied for seventh best
Speaker 2: field goal percentage fifty seven yard or his long.
Speaker 3: Well Gloughlin from thirty nine. Here's now three for three.
Speaker 2: These two teams did play earlier this year. It was
Speaker 2: a long time ago. Week three Philadelphia on twenty five
Speaker 2: to eleven. Neither quarterback fared very well. Swift had one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty yards. Aj Brown one hundred and thirty one, though.
Speaker 6: Quick throw pass caught Brown first down.
Speaker 2: Eagles, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay have met five times in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. The Bucks have a three to two edge.
Speaker 2: Let's rewind to the first time it happened, nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: nine Divisional round. Bucks won twenty four to seventeen. It
Speaker 2: was Doug Williams versus Ron Jaworski, but Ricky Bell starred
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty two rushing yards two tds in
Speaker 2: those classic Unis they going to take it to four
Speaker 2: and two? Are we even up? After it's over? The
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoffs, riding in on
Speaker 2: a three game winning street ranks some pressure.
Speaker 3: It's picked up head down the middle. The catch is
Speaker 3: made by Dean Tate Johnson. Hey run not catch him.
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh takes the lead seventy one strike.
Speaker 2: They are off to Buffalo to take on a Bill
Speaker 2: squad that won the AFC by winning their fifth game
Speaker 2: in a.
Speaker 6: Rowstianta Hardy all the way back to the five, has
Speaker 6: some space.
Speaker 3: Takes up. Look out, Hardy gets a plucked out field.
Speaker 3: The party's gonna go, isn't that field? Nobody's gonna catch him.
Speaker 2: So both of these teams come in hot. Both of
Speaker 2: them come in off wins and must win situations. Bill's
Speaker 2: offense sixth in points per game this season, fourth in
Speaker 2: yards per game, no team better on third down top
Speaker 2: ten in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Looking downfield, He's got Dave Davis caught at the fifteenth
Speaker 1: and he drives his way into the end zone.
Speaker 2: So that elite offense versus a Pittsburgh defense that was
Speaker 2: sixth in points per game allowed, fifth in the red zone.
Speaker 4: He's gonna throw the ball down the field and it's
Speaker 4: interceded in the end zone.
Speaker 3: But at eight eight.
Speaker 2: The Steelers defense that Josh Allen and company face is
Speaker 2: built around a strong pass rush and a secondary that
Speaker 2: held quarterbacks to the tenth lowest rate at eighty four
Speaker 2: point seven. Steelers sixth in completion percentage.
Speaker 3: Allowed play Let's get it oh off complete.
Speaker 2: Sixteen I INT's and seventeen games. Pittsburgh's secondary came up
Speaker 2: with its fair share of splash plays. Can they create
Speaker 2: some against Alan? He threw eighteen picks this season. Most
Speaker 2: of his career copied for the.
Speaker 6: Heat Alan retreats plays an interception.
Speaker 2: Allan only played in three games where he didn't get
Speaker 2: picked off. He's a higher risk, high rewards style quarterback.
Speaker 2: He threw for over two hundred and fifty yards per
Speaker 2: game twenty nine touchdowns. He's still the most important player
Speaker 2: on their offense.
Speaker 3: D that Alan gonna keep it on a design run
Speaker 3: and he's into the end zone.
Speaker 2: Pressuring Allen into mistakes is at the top of Pittsburgh's
Speaker 2: to do list on defense. That's going to be harder
Speaker 2: to pull off without the top sack master though TJ.
Speaker 2: Watt had nineteen for the year, but he's out for
Speaker 2: this game. Pocket collapses, he is setting the pall comes
Speaker 2: up this baby off, so that puts extra pressure on
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith. He had seven QB takedowns for the season.
Speaker 4: What a future Kiado Fitt has being able to compliment
Speaker 4: what they could do on the edge with ninety fifty six.
Speaker 2: Buffalo's tackles are not easy to beat, though no team
Speaker 2: allowed fewer sacks than the Bills this year.
Speaker 10: Pump figs pumps twice, throws it out in the left
Speaker 10: flat to Diggs, digs out to the twenty nine to
Speaker 10: thirty Allen deep.
Speaker 3: Drop wings into the middle, Diggs complete at the twenty three.
Speaker 2: Bills pass catchers Stefan Diggs as lead man, had a
Speaker 2: long stretch of nothing games down the stretch eighty seven
Speaker 2: yards at least last week, over one hundred catches for
Speaker 2: the year over eleven hundred yards eight touchdowns.
Speaker 8: Not bad Allan as time throws to the left sideline
Speaker 8: complete to Diggs trying to spin away from the tacklers.
Speaker 1: That he does.
Speaker 2: Allen will use Gabe Davis as well if he's healthy.
Speaker 2: Their deep shot guy seven hundred and forty six yard
Speaker 2: seventy d's for him.
Speaker 1: We canter to Gabe Davis on a slant wear the
Speaker 1: touchdown must be down and we can't get to start working.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Let's hope he is on the injury watch list though.
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir their slot guy one hundred and five yards
Speaker 2: last week, over six hundred for the season. That trio
Speaker 2: doing battle with Levi Wallace, Patrick Peterson Joey Porter Junior.
Speaker 2: Peterson was the Waldo of the group this season. Gave
Speaker 2: up a rating near one ten, six touchdowns, most on
Speaker 2: the team. The rookie Porter dazzled though, held quarterbacks to
Speaker 2: a sixty four point five rating, only gave up one touchdown.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's Joey Porter Junior doing what Dad did
Speaker 6: some time ago.
Speaker 3: What a big play.
Speaker 2: Allen relies on his tight ends plenty. Pittsburgh gave up
Speaker 2: a one hundred rating to the position. Not great. Now
Speaker 2: they take on the d Bros. Dawson Knox missed a
Speaker 2: lot of games. He did score last week. Dalton Kincaid
Speaker 2: caught over seventy passes in his first year in the league,
Speaker 2: almost seven hundred yards with time and Leo tight.
Speaker 3: End Dalton Kincaid inside the.
Speaker 2: Forty Bill's ground game a James Cook production four point
Speaker 2: seven per carry, over eleven hundred rushing yards, two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: James Cook who had two hundred and twenty one all
Speaker 1: purpose yards in this game.
Speaker 11: He's got a touchdown on the ground and a touchdown.
Speaker 3: Through the air.
Speaker 11: He dominated this football game.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh gave up four point two a run to running
Speaker 2: backs below average, gave up four point sixty quarterbacks on
Speaker 2: the run, tied for twenty first there so not great either.
Speaker 11: Pick the handoff. Jackson's got a huge hole.
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson dances his way into Pittsburgh territory.
Speaker 2: Allen he ran fifteen times versus Miami last week. He
Speaker 2: went for over five hundred rush yards in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 10: We've seen some of the dynamic throws over the years,
Speaker 10: but he can really just embaris you running the.
Speaker 2: Football Pittsburgh's quarterback isn't a runner, but Mason Rudolph is
Speaker 2: a winner. Started three games, won all three.
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph pass over the middle, has cut by pickings.
Speaker 3: He's on his way. Parent cops, George.
Speaker 2: Beckons all the way for up Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown. Rudolph
Speaker 2: wasn't just along for the Riot either. A rating of
Speaker 2: one twelve plus in all three games. No interceptions.
Speaker 3: You want to see some magic in poetry and potion. Billy.
Speaker 3: Oh what a bro what a catch.
Speaker 2: He now faces a Bill's secondary that held to a
Speaker 2: tongue of Bye Lowa to less than two hundred yards
Speaker 2: in their week eighteen win, held quarterbacks to an eighty
Speaker 2: one point nine rate in twenty twenty three, seventh lowest
Speaker 2: skive that way to.
Speaker 7: A throwing that way.
Speaker 3: Now they don't beg four hundred cuts.
Speaker 2: It intercepts their secondary, aided by a pass rush that
Speaker 2: finished with the fourth most sacks.
Speaker 3: Step up with the pocket again, he goes down. Everybody's
Speaker 3: getting in on the act today. What a performance by
Speaker 3: this Buffalo defense.
Speaker 2: Bills have five guys with five plus sacks. Their leaders
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Ed Oliver. He got home nine and a
Speaker 2: half times from the inside from the.
Speaker 3: Thirty eight treble and frocked down by Oliver.
Speaker 2: Off the edge. It'll be Leonard Floyd ten and a
Speaker 2: half bags for the year. Here comes Floyd.
Speaker 3: Floyd's got him. We were just talking about him, Leonard Floyd.
Speaker 2: Rudolph was sacked three times by the Ravens top rated
Speaker 2: pass rush Russia.
Speaker 11: Close again, that balls knocked out, loose again and the
Speaker 11: Ravens call on it.
Speaker 2: He only took one sack in each of their two
Speaker 2: other games, though, when he has time to let it fly,
Speaker 2: it usually goes to George Pickens. He was shut out
Speaker 2: last week, but over eleven hundred yards for the year
Speaker 2: five touchdowns. He's usually the key to their offense having success.
Speaker 6: Its Rudolf up third down pump fake, then he throws
Speaker 6: ahead diving catch.
Speaker 3: This day five pickins. That is spectacular.
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson will see plenty of targets as well. Over
Speaker 2: seven hundred yards for him in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: The up touchdown and there it was Dete Johnson finally
Speaker 5: gets into the end zone.
Speaker 2: Alan Robinson rounds out their wide out core. That trio
Speaker 2: tangling with Buffalo cornerbacks for Sewell Douglas, who has played
Speaker 2: great since they picked him up, holding his targets to
Speaker 2: him easily thirty eight rating.
Speaker 4: Bro is intercepted this time and it's Douglas Russ Suell.
Speaker 4: Douglas comes in and makes the interception, jumping right in
Speaker 4: front of Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 2: Christian Benford held quarterbacks to a some ninety rating. Taron
Speaker 2: Johnson one of the better nickel cornerbacks in the game.
Speaker 2: Bill's held wide receiver to an eighty seven rating that
Speaker 2: was tenth lowest.
Speaker 3: Man rushed to a rows broke it up by Dave Jackson.
Speaker 2: Buffalo held tight ends to the eighth lowest rating, running
Speaker 2: backs to the third lowest. Steelers counter with Pat Fryarmuth
Speaker 2: at tight end. Jalen Warren at running back. He had
Speaker 2: over three hundred receiving yards this season, was third in
Speaker 2: targets for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: Warren's got a lot of room out in front of him.
Speaker 6: Started in the backfield and lowers his shoulder near the forty.
Speaker 2: Warren also picked up seven hundred and eighty four rush
Speaker 2: yards this season on a nice five point three a
Speaker 2: carry average.
Speaker 8: Jalen Warren's got a big kad Warren streaking down the
Speaker 8: sideline and they break the seal touchdown.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's run game has become a strong point for them.
Speaker 2: Najie Harris will also get his touches back to back
Speaker 2: one hundred yard games to end the year, finished with
Speaker 2: over one thousand rush yards.
Speaker 3: He goes left runs for the goal on touchdown Net's.
Speaker 2: Burg Bills gave up four point four a run to
Speaker 2: running backs. Not good.
Speaker 11: It's Elliott trying to punch it in touchdown.
Speaker 2: Tight game. Need a bit. Pittsburgh still has the last
Speaker 2: killer b Chris Boswell twenty nine to thirty one for
Speaker 2: the year.
Speaker 7: It hits the ground, coach does a great job of
Speaker 7: fielding it and then Boswell knocks it through.
Speaker 2: Bill's trot out. Tyler kick his ass Sea Bass twenty
Speaker 2: four for twenty nine for the season, Brook.
Speaker 6: Twenty nine, Tyler Bess for the leak. I have a
Speaker 6: have a Buffalo Bill's way with twenty eight seconds left.
Speaker 2: Buffalo one in two versus Pittsburgh in the playoffs all time.
Speaker 2: How about nineteen seventy four Divisional round Pittsburgh thirty two
Speaker 2: to fourteen. They were a solid bunch if I remember right,
Speaker 2: Let's do it again. This time, loser goes home. Little
Speaker 2: rematch action, playoff style. Browns and Texans just played each
Speaker 2: other like Week sixteen. Now they do it again in
Speaker 2: the postseason. Cleveland took Houston thirty six to twenty two.
Speaker 8: In that first game, Black go on the outside, Ford
Speaker 8: cuts it, He's got the ankle touchdown Browns.
Speaker 2: It was the Amari Cooper game. Joe Flacco threw for
Speaker 2: over three hundred yards. Cooper hauled in two hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty five of them. Two tack go.
Speaker 3: On time touchdown. I'm Murray Cooper.
Speaker 2: But the Texans were without a key piece to the puzzle,
Speaker 2: a potential game altering piece. Ohio football fans, no.
Speaker 6: Little play action to start gup protection. Hair's it out
Speaker 6: for Collins.
Speaker 1: He's got it.
Speaker 2: One play touchdown Texans reasons. Texans fans don't care about
Speaker 2: last time these two faced c J. Stroud in what
Speaker 2: was basically a playoff game last week. He threw for
Speaker 2: two tds over two hundred and sixty yards a rating
Speaker 2: over one thirty.
Speaker 6: Stroud wine open for the touchdown. Is the full back
Speaker 6: Andrew back.
Speaker 2: Stroud's probably your offensive rookie of the year. He had
Speaker 2: a spectacular first year. He's the difference maker for them.
Speaker 2: So Cleveland is in for a different experience.
Speaker 3: Revin Jordan across the five plucks in touchdown but hold on.
Speaker 2: Stroud is also in for a different experience. He's facing
Speaker 2: an elite secondary. Browns held quarterbacks to a seventy four
Speaker 2: point seven rating second lowest.
Speaker 3: Prout middle of the field.
Speaker 7: Overthrows bad, it's tipped around and intercepted.
Speaker 3: D Anthony Bell tipped it around and came.
Speaker 6: Up with it.
Speaker 2: When Stroud faced Baltimore and New Orleans, two other teams
Speaker 2: that were top five and rating allowed, he didn't do
Speaker 2: well sub eighty five rating games against them.
Speaker 3: Pay on watching Washington.
Speaker 2: Sexs a clean Stroud's go to Nico Collins put up
Speaker 2: eighty yards versus both of those teams. He had a
Speaker 2: breakout twenty twenty three eighty catches almost thirteen hundred yards,
Speaker 2: eight scores, strat lid.
Speaker 3: A sidear delivery to the exode. It's Nico Cunlins Houston
Speaker 3: able to put it in for six.
Speaker 2: He will do battle with Martin Emerson Denzel Ward, best
Speaker 2: cornerback duo of twenty twenty three. Emerson was second rating allowed,
Speaker 2: Ward was seventh Cleveland held wide receivers to a seventy
Speaker 2: one rating, second lowest in the league.
Speaker 8: Step and throw launches a deep one over the shoulder
Speaker 8: interception Martin Emerson.
Speaker 2: So you go to Dalton Schultz next for Houston. He
Speaker 2: was second targets for the Texans.
Speaker 5: Right, Secretary's gonna throw it to the ends out It's
Speaker 5: talk touchdown, Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 2: Brown's defense versus tight ends not as strong ninety nine
Speaker 2: point nine rating allowed to that position, below average.
Speaker 11: Fires back corner.
Speaker 3: They have got plot by the touchdown ten yard touchdown.
Speaker 2: Math Will Stroud have time to operate? He will have
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett to worry about. Fourteen sacks for twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: This guy is as big as you can think he is.
Speaker 4: He's sixty four, two hundred and seventy five pounds and
Speaker 4: moves like he's two hundred and forty pounds.
Speaker 11: Just a mismatch, and you know how excited he is
Speaker 11: to finally get another sack.
Speaker 2: Garrett an ambidextrious pass rusher. So both of Houston's tackles
Speaker 2: are on alert, and the Texans gave up a lot
Speaker 2: of sacks this year. It was a way to derail
Speaker 2: their offense.
Speaker 3: But it's this edge.
Speaker 10: Pressure coming here that has to allow crowd had to
Speaker 10: step up in the pocket and picked the Forrest Buckner
Speaker 10: who is there to make the sack.
Speaker 2: Texans run game. Devin Singletary almost nine hundred yards four
Speaker 2: point two of carry, four tds when he's working their
Speaker 2: offense is right whitch up?
Speaker 5: First of all, Singletary is in a rushing touchdown for Devin.
Speaker 2: Singletary four point four yards per carry allowed. That's Cleveland
Speaker 2: versus running backs this year. That's not good.
Speaker 11: Singletary knt from behind as he crosses the forty yard line.
Speaker 2: Each team's run games take a back seat to their
Speaker 2: passing attacks, though Houston picked off Flacko twice when they
Speaker 2: squared off the first time. But they had no answers
Speaker 2: for Cooper and it wasn't one specific dB that struggled
Speaker 2: with him either. So can they come up with a
Speaker 2: way to slow him down this week?
Speaker 8: Looking for separation, it's kart Oh may Cooper down the
Speaker 8: sideline for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: Texans were tough on wide receivers for the year, held
Speaker 2: them to a ninety point five rating that was thirteenth best.
Speaker 2: Cooper will deal with Steve and Nelson. He covers the
Speaker 2: left side, held quarterbacks to a seventy one point four rating.
Speaker 2: He gets Derek Stingly when he lines up on the right.
Speaker 2: He's held it down to a fifty four rating, eleventh
Speaker 2: lowest in the NFL.
Speaker 8: On first down from the twenty That one intercepted Stingly
Speaker 8: three straight games with a.
Speaker 2: Pick Keexans gave up the fewest passing tds of any team.
Speaker 2: They had fourteen i iNTS. That's not a bad total,
Speaker 2: but overall they gave up a lot of splash plays.
Speaker 2: They ranked low and yards per attempt allowed and yards
Speaker 2: per completion allowed.
