WEBVTT - NFL Weekly Game Previews: Divisional Round 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.659 NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:10.859 partnership with I Heart Radio. This is NFL Game Previews. 0:00:10.899 --> 0:00:14.459 It's an analyst free zone, just game preview guy previewing 0:00:14.539 --> 0:00:17.499 each of the upcoming Divisional Round games, along with a 0:00:17.539 --> 0:00:20.379 recap of who are ten person panel picked to win. 0:00:20.859 --> 0:00:25.979 We begin our journey in the Bay Area Multidecade rivalry 0:00:26.139 --> 0:00:29.619 back on forty Niners. Cowboys faced off in the playoffs 0:00:29.619 --> 0:00:32.299 three times in a row in the seventies, three times 0:00:32.299 --> 0:00:34.699 in a row in the nineties, and now two times 0:00:34.699 --> 0:00:37.419 in a row in the twenties. Weird but true. The 0:00:37.499 --> 0:00:41.339 current Cowboys headed to San Francisco after bouncing TV twelve 0:00:41.379 --> 0:00:45.139 in the Bucks six points at a time to stop. 0:00:45.539 --> 0:00:47.939 They take on the forty Niners, a team that's gone 0:00:47.979 --> 0:00:51.579 full Strange Brew, steam rolling teams as they march into 0:00:51.659 --> 0:00:58.699 the Divisional round on an eleven game win streaks present too. 0:00:59.099 --> 0:01:02.859 What a matchup battle of d p O Y candidates 0:01:03.139 --> 0:01:09.019 First Team All O Edge Rush buddies Nick Bosa on 0:01:09.019 --> 0:01:12.579 one side, Micah Parsons on the other, Which guy has 0:01:12.619 --> 0:01:18.179 the bigger impact and answer could go a long way 0:01:18.219 --> 0:01:22.379 in dictating how the game unfolds and ends. Neither guy 0:01:22.539 --> 0:01:25.979 lines up exclusively on one side, So the key matchup 0:01:26.019 --> 0:01:30.699 we start with San Francisco's tackles versus Parsons. Micah thirteen 0:01:30.739 --> 0:01:34.419 and a half sacks in third most pressures of any 0:01:34.499 --> 0:01:40.739 edge rusher in two Parsons attacked the left tackle about 0:01:40.779 --> 0:01:45.179 sixty percent of the time. The right tackle Russia good Night. 0:01:45.779 --> 0:01:48.339 Don't be surprised if that is at least flipped in 0:01:48.339 --> 0:01:52.939 this one. San Francisco's left tackle, Trent Williams, PFF's best 0:01:53.019 --> 0:01:56.659 left tackle two years running now number eleven, may spend 0:01:56.699 --> 0:02:00.179 a little more time on the right side then Mike McGlinchey. 0:02:00.179 --> 0:02:02.499 He's not a Turk or a j D or anything, 0:02:02.739 --> 0:02:07.139 but he gave up six sacks and he's not Trent Williams. 0:02:07.379 --> 0:02:11.339 He's gonna split McGlinchey and Burford and Worth noting when 0:02:11.379 --> 0:02:14.739 these two played in last year's wild Card game, Parsons 0:02:14.739 --> 0:02:17.819 didn't have a single sack or even a QB hit. 0:02:18.299 --> 0:02:22.219 Dallas didn't plant Jimmy g a single time two times 0:02:22.419 --> 0:02:25.539 big third down conversions to Jennings of this game. Three 0:02:25.579 --> 0:02:28.699 of the Cowboys key pass rushers this season played in 0:02:28.699 --> 0:02:32.419 that game too. Forty Niners line again having to contend 0:02:32.419 --> 0:02:36.459 with Dorrance Armstrong eight and a half bags to Marcus 0:02:36.579 --> 0:02:40.379 Lawrence six sacks, the newcomer to the Niner Cowboy party 0:02:40.659 --> 0:02:43.659 Dante Fowler six bags this season and one of the 0:02:43.699 --> 0:02:46.859 highest pressure rates in the league. That group led the 0:02:46.859 --> 0:02:51.259 way to the third most QB takedowns out Dallas had 0:02:51.299 --> 0:02:54.619 a thirty five percent pressure rate that was the highest 0:02:54.699 --> 0:02:57.779 in the NFL. It makes for a gene Belcher beef 0:02:57.819 --> 0:03:03.059 squatch battle. They are bludgeoning our quarterback that rush up 0:03:03.059 --> 0:03:06.019 against a line that allow the sixth fewest sacks, the 0:03:06.139 --> 0:03:09.739 tenth lowest pressure rate. Jimmy time, Jimmy throws it is 0:03:09.819 --> 0:03:15.379 caught touchdown. Okay. On the other side, Nick Bosa, NFL 0:03:15.459 --> 0:03:20.179 sack leader forty eight QB hits thirteen more than anyone else. 0:03:20.339 --> 0:03:23.419 I wasn't even thinking about sack. He didn't have a 0:03:23.459 --> 0:03:26.899 sack in their wild card win. It makes him more dangerous. 0:03:27.019 --> 0:03:29.699 The number of times Bosa went back to back games 0:03:29.739 --> 0:03:33.379 without seeing him shrug this season same number of times 0:03:33.419 --> 0:03:38.499 I started for an NFL team about in here or 0:03:38.659 --> 0:03:41.979 college team Pop Warner team two on two two hand 0:03:42.019 --> 0:03:46.979 touch team that one hurt. Bosa is also a sixty 0:03:47.019 --> 0:03:50.339 forty guy, but he prefers right tackles most of the time, 0:03:50.659 --> 0:03:54.979 so is the Dallas tackle situation bosa ready. Tyrnn Smith 0:03:55.059 --> 0:03:57.779 played right tackle in the wild card game. He only 0:03:57.819 --> 0:04:00.619 played four regular season games, but we know what he's 0:04:00.659 --> 0:04:03.979 capable of. On the other side, it's rookie Tyler Smith 0:04:04.219 --> 0:04:08.099 and or Jason Peters. Peters left last week's game hurt. 0:04:08.259 --> 0:04:12.099 Tyler Smith gave up seven sacks this year. Back it's side, 0:04:12.099 --> 0:04:14.339 that's what a yard lot. He got moved around a 0:04:14.379 --> 0:04:16.819 lot out of necessity, so he never really got settled 0:04:16.819 --> 0:04:20.459 into one spot. Tyler Smith, he has really played well, 0:04:20.659 --> 0:04:23.659 big picture pass rush battle on this side of things, 0:04:23.779 --> 0:04:27.259 just as meaty as the other side. Forty Niners racked 0:04:27.299 --> 0:04:30.619 up three sacks versus Seattle last week. One of the bags, 0:04:30.659 --> 0:04:33.219 a happy meal, came with a forced fumble and a 0:04:33.259 --> 0:04:39.299 fumble recovery. The Niners forty four sacks tied for tenth most, 0:04:39.459 --> 0:04:43.379 a thirty percent pressure rate, ninth highest facing off with 0:04:43.419 --> 0:04:46.859 a Cowboys line that only gave up twenty seven sacks, 0:04:47.139 --> 0:04:53.339 fourth fewest to Dak Prescott got solid protection versus Tampa Bay. 0:04:53.459 --> 0:04:56.339 He couldn't come into a game off a better game 0:04:56.739 --> 0:05:00.819 career best twenty five thirty three, three hundred and five yards, 0:05:00.819 --> 0:05:04.779 four touchdowns, a one forty three point three ray his 0:05:04.859 --> 0:05:08.979 touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz probably his new signature play 0:05:09.419 --> 0:05:12.939 to play by Prescott. Prescott looked like he was toying 0:05:12.939 --> 0:05:15.979 with Tampa Bay's defense. It won't be easy to toy 0:05:16.019 --> 0:05:19.139 with San Francisco's first in points per game allowed this year, 0:05:19.419 --> 0:05:22.779 first in yards per game. Only three teams scored twenty 0:05:22.819 --> 0:05:27.459 four plus on them all season. I live clash my half, 0:05:27.819 --> 0:05:32.819 you're really Frisco secondary eighty two point seven rate tied 0:05:32.859 --> 0:05:35.339 for fifth best, most I n T s and all 0:05:35.419 --> 0:05:39.339 of football right now, hit suck it up by a 0:05:39.379 --> 0:05:43.179 Manual Cowers light intercepted by Fred Ward. The big one 0:05:43.259 --> 0:05:47.099 on one here tre various word versus ceedee lamb Ward 0:05:47.139 --> 0:05:51.899 had a great not a great wild card dk Metcalf 0:05:51.939 --> 0:05:54.499 beat him for a big touchdown, or gave up over 0:05:54.539 --> 0:05:58.419 a hundred yards nine targets, seven receptions allowed, or that 0:05:58.539 --> 0:06:01.139 one spot where he looks back and that's what allowed 0:06:01.219 --> 0:06:05.019 dk Metcalf to separate. On that same note, it's worth 0:06:05.099 --> 0:06:08.979 noting forty Niners defense has been great in two but 0:06:09.019 --> 0:06:11.499 they gave up big yards to Jarrett Stidham and Davante 0:06:11.539 --> 0:06:15.139 Adams a few games ago. Last week versus Gino over 0:06:15.179 --> 0:06:18.459 two hundred and fifty yards, two touchdowns, bet Calf having 0:06:18.499 --> 0:06:22.059 a big game. Then the forty Niners territory typically San 0:06:22.139 --> 0:06:24.939 Francisco has played white outs well, held him to an 0:06:24.939 --> 0:06:29.019 eight eight point five rating that was twelve lowest. Cornerback Dionmodoor. 0:06:29.139 --> 0:06:33.339 Lenore didn't have a great but he played well versus Seattle. 0:06:33.579 --> 0:06:36.219 Offs it up for Metcalf, who was defended by Lenore. 0:06:36.459 --> 0:06:39.419 This week He'll get a lot of Michael Gallop six targets, 0:06:39.459 --> 0:06:42.539 five catches and a score last week. That is Gallop 0:06:42.579 --> 0:06:46.139 behind the defender touchdown. Forty Niners will have to play 0:06:46.139 --> 0:06:49.499 the tight end position well as well. Doc isn't wishy 0:06:49.579 --> 0:06:53.379 washy when it comes to Dalton Schultz eight targets, seven catches, 0:06:53.459 --> 0:06:57.059 ninety five yards, two scores versus Tampa Bay eight plus 0:06:57.099 --> 0:07:01.019 targets three straight games. Now he's a Prescott fave and 0:07:01.259 --> 0:07:06.379 zone taught touchdown. Don't show Niners against tight ends in 0:07:06.499 --> 0:07:10.739 two rating aloud ninety eight point two. That was middle 0:07:10.779 --> 0:07:16.459 of the pack. That's an opening. Pets taught it. Tony Pollard. 0:07:16.619 --> 0:07:19.739 Zeke Paullard snapped out of his mini slump last week. 0:07:19.859 --> 0:07:23.579 Seventy seven yards five point one a run, a nice 0:07:23.619 --> 0:07:27.779 hesitation Elliott two point one yards per carry on thirteen 0:07:27.819 --> 0:07:31.139 tries versus the Bucks. Hasn't been over four yards per 0:07:31.259 --> 0:07:35.259 carry in five straight games. Now, he and Paul are 0:07:35.379 --> 0:07:38.859 trying to find room against the number one defense versus 0:07:38.939 --> 0:07:46.859 running backs in it's all sort of insulting that we 0:07:46.939 --> 0:07:49.579 wait this long to get to the forty niners. Oh face, 0:07:49.859 --> 0:07:56.379 that's put up thirty seven plus points in four straight games. 0:07:56.739 --> 0:08:00.539 Passing game is on fire right now for them. Rudy Rocky, 0:08:00.659 --> 0:08:04.099 Michael Sarah All rolled in one behind center. Brock purd 0:08:04.379 --> 0:08:07.779 legend only bigger after watching him in his first playoff game. 0:08:07.979 --> 0:08:10.699 Here's what I'm talking about with that progression going through right, 0:08:10.699 --> 0:08:13.379 he's reading left, reading left. Where's Elijah Mitchell? He should 0:08:13.419 --> 0:08:15.099 be checking down, He should be ready back over here 0:08:15.139 --> 0:08:17.619 to my right side. Three hundred and thirty two yards 0:08:17.659 --> 0:08:21.579 a hundred thirty one point five rating, three touchdowns, no picks, 0:08:21.779 --> 0:08:24.539 put receivers in spots to pick up yak and if 0:08:24.579 --> 0:08:27.419 he gets flushed showed he can keep plays alive with 0:08:27.539 --> 0:08:31.419 his legs, dances and finds my here brock girls, we 0:08:31.499 --> 0:08:34.899 have a good old fashioned debo. Craig Showdown lined up 0:08:34.899 --> 0:08:38.699 with Trayvon Diggs playing cube. In this case, Samuel snagged 0:08:38.699 --> 0:08:41.819 a few chains and pagers last week. Cody Barton coming down. 0:08:41.859 --> 0:08:43.459 You think he's gonna make the tackle. Then you think 0:08:43.499 --> 0:08:46.699 Mike Jackson's gonna make the tackle. Six catches a hundred 0:08:46.699 --> 0:08:49.859 and thirty three yards and a touchdown, so he's feeling it. 0:08:50.179 --> 0:08:54.579 Digs ten targets versus Brady and Company allowed seven catches 0:08:54.659 --> 0:08:58.979 seventy five yards, rating over nineties, so not great. Dude's 0:08:59.019 --> 0:09:01.859 a gamer, though, and that's why him on debo will 0:09:01.899 --> 0:09:05.659 be fun losally every book that they Okay, Purdy doesn't 0:09:05.699 --> 0:09:08.939 play favorites, though he could easily turn to Brandon Aiyuk 0:09:09.019 --> 0:09:11.699 if he thinks Waldo's in front of him a uk 0:09:11.819 --> 0:09:14.859 four targets, three catches, seventy three yards. He was San 0:09:14.899 --> 0:09:18.899 Francisco's top white out in You're just kind of flying 0:09:18.939 --> 0:09:21.859 out of the radar. But three catches in seventy three 0:09:21.939 --> 0:09:25.539 yards is Darren Bland wearing the red white cap. He 0:09:25.619 --> 0:09:28.819 gave up a touchdown eight catches on twelve targets last 0:09:28.859 --> 0:09:34.499 week eighty five yards. Dallas's past defense that Purdy and 0:09:34.539 --> 0:09:37.299 company face gave up three d and fifty one yards 0:09:37.299 --> 0:09:39.859 to Brady, but it was on five point two yards 0:09:39.899 --> 0:09:42.299 per attempt. They held him to a seventy two point 0:09:42.299 --> 0:09:44.819 to rating and accept in the back of the end zone. 0:09:44.899 --> 0:09:49.179 Dallas's play versus the past overall very similar to Seattle's, 0:09:49.219 --> 0:09:52.939 and we saw what Purdy did to them. Downfield comes 0:09:52.979 --> 0:09:56.099 free and he didn't need George Kittle much. Comes off 0:09:56.099 --> 0:09:59.379 a quiet game. His two catches were effective, and we 0:09:59.499 --> 0:10:03.099 all know his game, said fly Kit, We'll found a 0:10:03.179 --> 0:10:06.539 soft spot at net defects a few times today. Elijah 0:10:06.579 --> 0:10:10.779 Mitchell and CMC five targets, four catches, forty two yards, 0:10:11.019 --> 0:10:14.619 two touchdowns. McCaffrey the runner comes in hotter than the 0:10:14.659 --> 0:10:17.419 receiver to He gained a hundred and fifteen yards on 0:10:17.499 --> 0:10:21.539 fifteen tries seven point nine yards per carry, but caffrey 0:10:21.539 --> 0:10:25.179 gallop three Cowboys held running backs to four point to 0:10:25.339 --> 0:10:28.539 a run in two They only faced twelve rush attempts 0:10:28.619 --> 0:10:32.419 versus Tampa Bay kicking game Robbie gold solid year four 0:10:32.539 --> 0:10:35.659 for four last week, three for three on extra points 0:10:35.659 --> 0:10:40.339 in damp conditions. Brett maher Dak might trust Charlie Brown 0:10:40.459 --> 0:10:43.379 trying to hit from fifty with Lucy holding the ball 0:10:43.699 --> 0:10:46.899 more than he trust Brett right now watching the fourth 0:10:46.899 --> 0:10:49.379 extra point in a row miss that went from kind 0:10:49.419 --> 0:10:52.819 of funny to painful. Just as a fan, he has 0:10:52.939 --> 0:10:55.899 done it again. It might be looking for a kicker 0:10:55.979 --> 0:10:59.299 next week. Like we said, this is a playoff rematch. 0:11:00.379 --> 0:11:04.459 Wild Card twenty three to seventeen San Francisco cow always 0:11:04.499 --> 0:11:07.939 got devote on the ground seventy two yards in a touchdown. 0:11:09.019 --> 0:11:12.979 Then there was the trifecta of the early nineties. Three 0:11:13.059 --> 0:11:16.899 went to Dallas, four went to San Francisco. There was 0:11:16.979 --> 0:11:20.819 that one game, and then there was the original trilogy 0:11:20.939 --> 0:11:25.659 early seventies, seventies, seventy one seventy two, a Dallas sweep. 0:11:26.219 --> 0:11:29.019 So only one person selected the Cowboys out of the 0:11:29.059 --> 0:11:32.099 ten on our panel. Important to note, though, the one 0:11:32.179 --> 0:11:35.899 person who took them NFL dot Com writer Eric Edelm, 0:11:35.899 --> 0:11:39.179 who has the most correct picks this year. In our group, 0:11:40.859 --> 0:11:42.819 we set goals at the beginning of the year. We've 0:11:42.859 --> 0:11:44.939 got one goal in mind, and that's to win a 0:11:44.939 --> 0:11:48.499 world championship. Really good team, great quarterback, great defense, of 0:11:48.539 --> 0:11:52.019 your challenge, fitting, isn't it. Cincinnati Bengals take care of 0:11:52.059 --> 0:11:55.099 business with a touch of history. Probably the biggest player, 0:11:55.139 --> 0:12:01.299 one of the biggest plays, great ties, histories, head cup player, 0:12:03.739 --> 0:12:08.059 about it goes are heading the Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills 0:12:08.139 --> 0:12:11.099 also punched their ticket to the divisional round. No matter 0:12:11.099 --> 0:12:14.859 how we win, as if we win one week's seasons 0:12:14.859 --> 0:12:17.739 from here on out, Bills on an eight game winning streak. 0:12:17.939 --> 0:12:21.819 Bengals nine straight. The game the sequel to the game 0:12:21.859 --> 0:12:25.979 of It's the one everyone's gonna remember this season four 0:12:26.379 --> 0:12:29.699 remembered for the scare, then the hope, then the Hamlin 0:12:29.819 --> 0:12:33.339 Strong triumph. It's been a special week seeing this community, 0:12:33.419 --> 0:12:37.019 this country come together doing it for three today that 0:12:37.099 --> 0:12:43.219 matter three if you watch it for you now, the 0:12:43.299 --> 0:12:46.819 second chapter should be amazing. Both teams are loaded on 0:12:46.899 --> 0:12:50.739 both sides of the ball. Put it in my hand, 0:12:51.579 --> 0:12:57.939 Put in my hands. Joe Burrow goes first, since he 0:12:57.939 --> 0:13:00.779 didn't make any mistakes in his wild card win. Modest 0:13:00.859 --> 0:13:03.779 numbers but clean twenty three of thirty two, only two 0:13:04.259 --> 0:13:06.659 nine yards, but he did it against a very good 0:13:06.779 --> 0:13:10.619 Ravens defense, so his ninety nine point six ratings sticks 0:13:10.619 --> 0:13:17.859 out most touchdown. Joe shy STI career playoffs now rating 0:13:17.939 --> 0:13:21.499 knocking on the hundreds door six touchdowns against two picks. Now, 0:13:21.539 --> 0:13:24.139 we've been in these spots before, been in these big moments. 0:13:24.379 --> 0:13:27.219 Four and one record seems to like the lion light 0:13:27.619 --> 0:13:30.939 for me to take over the Bill's defense. He takes 0:13:30.979 --> 0:13:34.699 on our defense is it's pretty damn good. Broad picture 0:13:34.859 --> 0:13:38.299 not coming in shaken. Despite giving up thirty one to Miami, 0:13:38.699 --> 0:13:41.739 anyone who saw it gets it. Their offense gave it 0:13:41.779 --> 0:13:44.099 away a lot and stuff to clean up some some 0:13:44.139 --> 0:13:46.499 things that learned from um, but we'll grow from it. 0:13:46.579 --> 0:13:49.579 Buffalo held Miami to four for sixteen on third down, 0:13:49.859 --> 0:13:53.179 handled Skyler Thompson how you would have expected, picked him 0:13:53.219 --> 0:13:55.979 two times, held him to a forty four point seven rating, 0:13:56.099 --> 0:14:00.379 tops and rolling to his left, intercepted, picked up Barlow 0:14:00.739 --> 0:14:05.539 tops the other way. Take away number one Buffalo Thompson. 0:14:05.579 --> 0:14:09.019 Aside Bills pass defense, Burrow will battle one of the 0:14:09.059 --> 0:14:11.939 best in the game this season upper echelon and yards 0:14:11.939 --> 0:14:15.979 per attempt allowed. I n T S rating aloud. I'm 0:14:15.979 --> 0:14:19.459 like doing that, baby. Let's go big. One on one 0:14:19.539 --> 0:14:23.419 battles Tradus White, Jamaar Chase White, took care of business 0:14:23.539 --> 0:14:26.499 versus the Cheetah and the Penguin. Held his targets to 0:14:26.539 --> 0:14:29.739 a seventy one point for rating. Last week saw eight 0:14:29.819 --> 0:14:33.499 balls only four catches fifty three yards, two passes, defense 0:14:34.939 --> 0:14:38.259 it out of his hands, breaking it away with trick 0:14:38.339 --> 0:14:44.499 Davious one. That's the white has a big task. He 0:14:44.619 --> 0:14:47.939 already got a practice swing with Jamaar. Chase drew a 0:14:47.939 --> 0:14:50.699 big flag on him in that cancel game. Led the 0:14:50.779 --> 0:14:54.299 Charge in their wild card win. Twelve targets, nine catches, 0:14:54.379 --> 0:14:58.099 eighty four yards in a touchdown. It's elite versus elite 0:14:58.139 --> 0:15:02.059 when they tangle by Chase at runs through it, arm tackle, 0:15:02.259 --> 0:15:04.939 tell the sideline he's gonna take just to the house. 0:15:05.819 --> 0:15:10.779 Chase a sixty yard touchdown. Te Higgins versus Buffalo corner 0:15:10.859 --> 0:15:14.579 Tiger Elam. That's if Dane Jackson can't go. He left 0:15:14.659 --> 0:15:17.739 last week's game with a knee injury. Elam held Thompson 0:15:17.779 --> 0:15:20.819 to a zero rating on his five targets. Got himself 0:15:20.819 --> 0:15:26.019 a pick heating down the left side that tift the 0:15:26.179 --> 0:15:29.659 rookie with the biggest defensive play of the game. For 0:15:29.739 --> 0:15:32.099 the ball, he was in front of some good wide 0:15:32.139 --> 0:15:34.979 receivers and will be again this week too, but a 0:15:34.979 --> 0:15:38.339 tougher challenge with an A grade QB delivering the pizza 0:15:38.459 --> 0:15:41.819 to Chase or te Higgins. If you give Joe Burrow 0:15:41.939 --> 0:15:45.179 that kind of time with these three receivers, it'll be 0:15:45.219 --> 0:15:50.219 a long night. Higgins only had thirty seven yards in 0:15:50.259 --> 0:15:53.419 their recent Ravens win. That's back to back games under 0:15:53.499 --> 0:15:56.859 forty yards for him. That means he's ready to go off. 0:15:57.139 --> 0:16:00.099 He's had back to back boring stat line games twice 0:16:00.179 --> 0:16:03.419 this season. Each was followed by a hundred and twenty 0:16:03.419 --> 0:16:13.819 plus yard games. Battle on the inside slot receiver Tyler Boyd, 0:16:13.939 --> 0:16:18.539 Nickel cornerback Tarn Johnson. Boyd nothing major last week, seven 0:16:18.739 --> 0:16:24.659 plus yard guy in two though he's dangerous. Johnson on 0:16:24.739 --> 0:16:28.779 paper this season or last week not great. Bill's Mafia 0:16:28.899 --> 0:16:34.139 will tell you what to do with that paper. They 0:16:34.179 --> 0:16:36.779 will go to battle with Tarn any day of the week. 0:16:39.019 --> 0:16:45.539 That's ten shotsome, what unbelievable. Probably take notes or make 0:16:45.579 --> 0:16:49.419 flying airplanes right. Cincinnati tight end Hayden Hurst lost a 0:16:49.459 --> 0:16:53.779 fumble last week that hurt, but four catches forty five yards. 0:16:54.059 --> 0:16:56.219 He's one of those guys that can sneak up on 0:16:56.259 --> 0:17:00.019 you and it's hauled in by Hurst. Hayden Hurst has 0:17:00.059 --> 0:17:03.339 been an excellent fit for this since that ay oftfense 0:17:03.419 --> 0:17:07.299 to pass pert action pass rush battle. Bengals offense struggled 0:17:07.339 --> 0:17:09.979 a little last week, in part because Burrow got hit 0:17:10.099 --> 0:17:14.179 eight times and dropped four. Worse, they have to proceed 0:17:14.259 --> 0:17:18.659 with a backup left tackle Jonah Williams dislocated his kneecap 0:17:18.779 --> 0:17:21.859 last week. Bill's pass rush is plenty good enough to 0:17:21.859 --> 0:17:26.699 take advantage. They overwhelmed Miami's oh line, albeit an injured one. 0:17:26.939 --> 0:17:29.699 Matt Blano, fresh off being named First team All Pro 0:17:29.859 --> 0:17:36.219 to two sacks, three QUBI hits at Oliver, three QB hits, 0:17:36.259 --> 0:17:42.259 a sack. Oliver cried him cowboy and he's Mr Oogie Boogeyman. 0:17:42.419 --> 0:17:46.019 Basham got two hits and a sack. Bill's hit Thompson 0:17:46.099 --> 0:17:51.259 eleven times, Buggy pass him boogieing down with a sack 0:17:51.339 --> 0:17:55.139 of Styler Tompson. And it wasn't just Miami's beat up line. 0:17:55.219 --> 0:17:58.939 Buffalo averaged over two sacks a game this season. Qub's 0:17:59.019 --> 0:18:05.739 ain't going nowhere. Build a us matchups on both sides 0:18:05.779 --> 0:18:09.619 of the ball. Josh Allen comes into this game off 0:18:09.659 --> 0:18:12.299 a mixed showing we did some good things today. Um, 0:18:12.819 --> 0:18:14.499 I did some bad things today. It's kind of like 0:18:14.659 --> 0:18:16.979 his two. He threw a couple of I N T 0:18:17.179 --> 0:18:19.899 s last week. He had fourteen of those on the season. 0:18:20.299 --> 0:18:23.939 He fumbled three times versus Miami. Lost one that was 0:18:24.019 --> 0:18:26.739 taken to the house. Pressure coming on a blitz and 0:18:26.859 --> 0:18:29.899 the polls lose. It's bubbled by all and it's loose 0:18:29.979 --> 0:18:33.419 at the fine the play happened, Um, you gotta move on. 0:18:33.739 --> 0:18:39.459 Picked up for a touchdown. Holy cow. Alan also battled 0:18:39.579 --> 0:18:42.779 through three touchdowns three and fifty two yards are rating 0:18:42.899 --> 0:18:45.499 over ninety by the time it was all over. Alan 0:18:45.539 --> 0:18:48.339 gonna take a quarterback draw down to the ten, to 0:18:48.459 --> 0:18:52.059 the eight and motoring down to the six yard line. 0:18:52.379 --> 0:18:55.219 Here's the snap, fires it to Beasley had to three 0:18:55.739 --> 0:18:59.739 launches for the end zone touchdown. He's a little far 0:18:59.819 --> 0:19:02.099 rev but you'll live with some of the misques because 0:19:02.139 --> 0:19:12.859 he's worth it for the rewards. Stefon Diggs Allen's BFF 0:19:13.099 --> 0:19:18.419 all year, Big two for can you digs? It also 0:19:18.499 --> 0:19:22.059 a first teamer Big Wild Card game to seven catches 0:19:22.059 --> 0:19:25.459 a hundred and fourteen yards. Alan looking deep down a timeline. 0:19:25.699 --> 0:19:31.379 He's got dance tackled at the four yard line. Seventeen 0:19:31.579 --> 0:19:35.179 plus fourteen almost equals six. There he comes in hot 0:19:35.339 --> 0:19:38.419 the corner hill draw plenty of is not. Eli Apple 0:19:38.499 --> 0:19:40.899 had a nice year, not a nice wild card game. 0:19:41.059 --> 0:19:43.059 He took the apple as it were and got beat 0:19:43.139 --> 0:19:46.019 long gave up seventy three yards in a touchdown A 0:19:46.099 --> 0:19:49.779 one forty seven point nine rating allowed. Last weekly, what's 0:19:49.819 --> 0:19:52.499 the throw tolly deep there? Sideline profitson happen at a 0:19:52.619 --> 0:19:58.099 ten five touch down Ravens double move and let Eli 0:19:58.299 --> 0:20:02.739 Apple standing in sand. Buffalo's number two Gabe Davis a 0:20:02.859 --> 0:20:05.739 hundred and thirteen yards lab week a touchdown over eight 0:20:05.819 --> 0:20:08.899 hundred yards for the season, seven scores. Alan back to 0:20:08.979 --> 0:20:11.539 pass they're being the field fire to the end zone 0:20:11.579 --> 0:20:18.219 the Davis he can both be down down and Khalil 0:20:18.299 --> 0:20:22.499 Shakier guy Bills fans were very excited about preseason grabbed 0:20:22.579 --> 0:20:25.939 fifty yards versus Miami Ookay over the middle for Shakire 0:20:27.219 --> 0:20:30.739 the big field Parker for the first down. Bengals past 0:20:30.819 --> 0:20:34.099 defense didn't exactly shut Tyler Huntly down. He did get 0:20:34.179 --> 0:20:36.339 him for a couple of touchdowns over seven and a 0:20:36.379 --> 0:20:39.579 half yards per attempt, a rating over ninety hard way 0:20:39.619 --> 0:20:43.259 to throw swing ball to the right. Cobbins extending the 0:20:43.339 --> 0:20:45.779 ball and he kept the edge over the goal line 0:20:46.099 --> 0:20:49.019 for a Baltimore touchdown. Man. That was a good play 0:20:49.099 --> 0:20:51.899 by him. Tight end battle, especially in the red zone, 0:20:51.939 --> 0:20:54.539 Bengals have to worry about Dawson Knox. He's on a 0:20:54.659 --> 0:20:57.699 huge t D run. His wild card score makes it 0:20:57.859 --> 0:21:00.979 five straight, makes the hand off the single. Arry Allen 0:21:01.019 --> 0:21:05.819 looking to run. Now, getta fire the knock. Somebody get 0:21:05.899 --> 0:21:12.299 the fire extinguisher. Five touchdowns in five straight game. Bengals 0:21:12.379 --> 0:21:15.899 just faced Mark Andrew's tight end elite. Yes, seventy three 0:21:15.979 --> 0:21:19.859 yards on five catches, but ten targets, so not all bad. 0:21:20.179 --> 0:21:23.739 They only gave up three touchdowns, two tight ends in two. 0:21:23.859 --> 0:21:29.779 Only four teams allowed fewer, throwing it back to Andrew's Bengals. 0:21:29.939 --> 0:21:33.619 Jerry Well right, he'll lose a yard. Jessie bags of 0:21:33.699 --> 0:21:36.979 the play Buffalo o line eight and sacks allowed in 0:21:37.819 --> 0:21:43.419 two that's good versus Miami last week. Seven sacks taken, 0:21:43.499 --> 0:21:48.099 Alan hit thirteen times. That's really bad. So we'll see 0:21:48.179 --> 0:21:53.059 which slim shady stands up for them this week. They 0:21:53.139 --> 0:21:55.739 stripped the balls job. He knocked it out of his hands, 0:21:55.779 --> 0:21:59.019 and it's Spitzer Brown who recovers. Bengals a ho Hume 0:21:59.139 --> 0:22:02.899 to sack five QB hit game versus Baltimore, Sam Hubbard, 0:22:02.939 --> 0:22:06.459 Trey Hendrickson, b J. Hill. They'll all be after Alan 0:22:06.579 --> 0:22:09.659 Alan's legs. He only ran four times last week, twenty 0:22:09.779 --> 0:22:12.219 yards over seven d and fifty on the ground in 0:22:13.579 --> 0:22:16.419 seven scores. Now, I love it, I love it. I 0:22:16.539 --> 0:22:21.099 love it. Bengals really good versus mobile quarterbacks in two. 0:22:21.419 --> 0:22:23.979 Not so much versus Huntley in their last game, though 0:22:24.299 --> 0:22:32.059 they gave up fifty four yards on nine carries. They 0:22:32.139 --> 0:22:35.819 didn't handle J. K. Dobbins great either on his thirteen tries, 0:22:35.899 --> 0:22:38.739 but did contain Gus Edwards on his twelve, and they 0:22:38.819 --> 0:22:42.179 have good stats versus running backs. Overall, it's a sneaky 0:22:42.219 --> 0:22:45.339 important match up because the Bills running back run game. 0:22:45.539 --> 0:22:48.619 It's their Floyd jab. You don't notice it, but it's 0:22:48.659 --> 0:22:52.579 doing damage. Devin Singletary James cook one of them usually 0:22:52.699 --> 0:22:54.819 get you gets the cut cutting around the left side. 0:22:57.499 --> 0:23:00.619 Cooking with handoff goes to Singletary again right up the 0:23:00.699 --> 0:23:03.339 veil as an opening first down yardage and more a 0:23:03.499 --> 0:23:08.059 fourteen pickup for motor. Don't turn away. From either team's 0:23:08.139 --> 0:23:11.579 kickoff return game niheeen hinanes. He's made the Bills return 0:23:11.699 --> 0:23:15.139 game very dangerous. Had those two t D returns versus 0:23:15.219 --> 0:23:18.979 New England last week, two kickoffs fifty six yards long 0:23:19.059 --> 0:23:29.819 of thirty story. Cincinnati's trey Von Williams only got kicked 0:23:29.859 --> 0:23:33.299 to once last week, twenty six yard return. He's averaged 0:23:33.379 --> 0:23:36.859 twenty five a return three straight games now, so beware 0:23:37.179 --> 0:23:40.179 Buffalo boot game kick is a c bass. Two for 0:23:40.299 --> 0:23:42.779 two on field goals last week four for four or 0:23:42.939 --> 0:23:46.899 extra points, had a good two career long of fifty 0:23:47.019 --> 0:23:50.699 eight should it be needed. Cincinnati's Evan McPherson, he missed 0:23:50.739 --> 0:23:53.499 an extra point last week, missed four on the season, 0:23:53.619 --> 0:23:56.899 but he made forty twenty four of twenty nine overall. 0:23:57.339 --> 0:23:59.739 Four of the five misses were in the forties, one 0:23:59.779 --> 0:24:03.779 in the twenties, five for five from fifty plus fifty 0:24:03.899 --> 0:24:07.379 nine a long burrow. He'll be in Buffalo and it 0:24:07.459 --> 0:24:10.259 might be cold. How about seven and oh in games 0:24:10.379 --> 0:24:15.459 under forty degrees. Third playoff meeting between these two have 0:24:15.659 --> 0:24:18.979 to go back to night a f C Championship game 0:24:19.059 --> 0:24:22.859 the last time they met. Jim Kelly boom Osiason five 0:24:22.979 --> 0:24:25.939 I and t s between the two, but Cincinnati wins 0:24:25.979 --> 0:24:29.579 twenty one to ten. Bills couldn't stop the shuffle Icky 0:24:29.659 --> 0:24:32.819 wood Day's hundred two yards for him to t d 0:24:33.059 --> 0:24:37.459 S iconic dance shuffle. How the crowd is going to 0:24:37.539 --> 0:24:41.939 like us and air clubs show folks. Only other postseason 0:24:42.019 --> 0:24:50.459 meeting between these two one Divisional round Cincinnati one. Ken 0:24:50.619 --> 0:24:54.539 Anderson over Joe Ferguson game winner to that. Sunday Night 0:24:54.619 --> 0:24:57.859 Football announcer Guy Panel of ten says this is the 0:24:58.059 --> 0:25:00.739 best game of the week. It's the only one they 0:25:00.859 --> 0:25:05.699 split on. Right down the middle, five to five rivalry 0:25:05.819 --> 0:25:09.259 football at its finest. Chapter two. We'll give both parties 0:25:09.299 --> 0:25:11.779 a pass on the last one sort of. So you 0:25:11.859 --> 0:25:18.739 have the rested number one seated Eagles taking on every 0:25:18.819 --> 0:25:22.339 Philly fans most beloved team outside Texas, the New York 0:25:22.419 --> 0:25:25.539 Football Giants, showing they can lose to a team once 0:25:25.699 --> 0:25:28.179 on the road, go back and beat them the second 0:25:28.259 --> 0:25:32.019 time around. Relevant right four eights came on the line 0:25:32.299 --> 0:25:37.339 because it's Pockinson, We're not gonna get there, and the 0:25:37.499 --> 0:25:41.379 Giants will take over for the record, Yes, Philadelphia swept 0:25:41.459 --> 0:25:44.739 New York this season. Week eight team game was Jalen parts. 0:25:44.939 --> 0:25:47.779
