Speaker 1: Quarterback Josh Allen threw for three hundred and twenty yards

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: right mindset heading into next week's finale. We got a

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: really good squad, talented players that work extremely hard to

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: nutcutting time during the games. We just got guys that

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: consistently get opened. Nick play's blockwell, froun the ball. Hard.

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Not to sound cliche and like an unbroken record, but

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: it's it's number twelve. We got one game left, and

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: you know it all that. It's cool the records this

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: and that, but you know the planned to get to

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: thirteen and three and give ourselves a chance in the

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: playoffs doesn't mean much if we can get done and

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: we've got our mindset on bigger things and first things

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: firsts Week seventeen, Yains and Dolphins and Buffalo they are

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: all business. Nineteen ninety nine. That was the last time

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo swept New England. The last Division opponents to sweep

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: the Pats were the Jets and Dolphins back in two thousand. Now,

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: even though the Bills and Steelers are both twelve and three,

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo is the two seed, holding the tie breaker over

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh by virtue of their Week fourteen victory. Now the

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs clinching the number one seed in the AFC Sunday.

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: And remember, under the new seventeen playoff format, only the

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: number one seed in each conference gets a buy and

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: coach Andy Reid hinted Patrick Mahones and some of the

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: starters might not play this week against Chargers. They're certain

41
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: guys they'll have an opportunity to to rest up. I

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: ever'll be ready to go as long as we're physically

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: ready to go. They're physically ready to go. But we'll

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: make that decision down the road. But yeah, I've done

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: that in the past. I've rested rested players. Yes, listen,

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: I do have confidence that we have a veteran crew

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: and there and they're gonna be okay. So I mean,

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: and I think in some cases some of these guys

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: need just take a step back, you know. Now. Over

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: in the NFC, it simply win and in for the

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Rams against the Cardinals on Sunday, But it won't be

52
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: that easy because Los Angeles won't have their starting quarterback

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Jured Goff. He had went surgery on his thumb, and

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: according to head coach Hung McVey, backup John Wolford will

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: start Sunday. Wolford's never played a snap in the NFL,

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: but McBay saying he's optimistic they left golf back for

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs now. The Cardinals are hopeful that quarterback Kyler

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Murray can play following a leg injury. Suffering a loss

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: against the Niners. Arizona clinches a playoff berth with the

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: one against the Rams or a tie plus a Chicago

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: loss to Green Bay. Washington as part of the the ways

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: with quarterback Dwayne Haskins, in a move that was well

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: it was expected, last year's first round pick started thirteen

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: games for the franchise, head coach Ron Rivera saying in

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: a statement quote he believed it benefits both parties that

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: we go our separate ways. Haskins started for them on Sunday,

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: but was benched and the football team's loss to the Panthers.

68
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: The release comes a week if Haskins was photographed maskless

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: at a birthday party, he was a second breach of

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen protocols, Haskins tweeting out he takes fullest spoonsibility

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: for his actions. As for who will start in Sunday's

72
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: must win contests against the Eagles, Rivera saying he's hopeful

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Alex Smith will return from mccaf injury. Washington wins the

74
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: NFC's crown with a win or a tie plus a
