WEBVTT - NFL Weekly Game Previews: Week 18 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.659 NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:10.259 partnership with I Heart Radio. This is NFL Game Preview 0:00:10.299 --> 0:00:13.259 is a breakdown of every Week eighteen game, along with 0:00:13.299 --> 0:00:16.139 the recap of how our ten person panel expects each 0:00:16.219 --> 0:00:18.659 game to turn out. The game preview guy here to 0:00:18.779 --> 0:00:21.299 drive the bus. We begin with the big Sunday night 0:00:21.299 --> 0:00:24.699 football game in Green Bay. When is the last time 0:00:24.699 --> 0:00:27.179 a Detroit Green Bay game late in the year had 0:00:27.259 --> 0:00:29.539 this kind of a vibe? As far as where we're 0:00:29.539 --> 0:00:32.939 at right now, get better than this. Lions at Lambo 0:00:33.059 --> 0:00:35.819 to face the Packers, who make the dance if they win. 0:00:36.059 --> 0:00:39.259 When you start to believe something strongly that some reculous 0:00:39.259 --> 0:00:42.099 things can happen, the pack the only ones who control 0:00:42.139 --> 0:00:45.179 their destiny in the NFC. When it comes to unwrapping 0:00:45.179 --> 0:00:48.659 the last golden playoff ticket, I'm so proud of you, guys. 0:00:48.659 --> 0:00:52.099 I'm getting really emotional right now. Lions have to win 0:00:52.219 --> 0:00:55.099 this one and hope for an upset on the West Coast. 0:00:55.459 --> 0:01:00.939 Motivation not an issue for either team. Let's go Lions, 0:01:00.979 --> 0:01:05.059 winners of seven of their last nine, Packers winners four straight. 0:01:05.219 --> 0:01:07.219 A A run is cool and all but most of 0:01:07.219 --> 0:01:10.139 the credit to green Bay's run goes to its defense. 0:01:10.219 --> 0:01:12.979 They haven't allowed more than twenty points during their streak. 0:01:13.339 --> 0:01:19.099 The rushes on the type pocketings justin Hollans mis Detroit's 0:01:19.099 --> 0:01:22.099 success tied to an offense fifth and points per game 0:01:22.099 --> 0:01:28.859 in two so let's get ready to rumble. Indeed, Detroit 0:01:28.939 --> 0:01:31.619 showed Chicago what its O face looks like on till 0:01:31.779 --> 0:01:35.299 last week. Forty one points Jared Goff, three touchdowns, no 0:01:35.419 --> 0:01:38.619 interceptions over two hundred and fifty yards, a rating near 0:01:38.699 --> 0:01:42.179 one thirty five, twenty nine touchdowns against seven I and 0:01:42.259 --> 0:01:45.619 ties this season, rating of a hundred point one. What 0:01:45.779 --> 0:01:49.779 a year. Got a bet out there into the ads 0:01:49.819 --> 0:01:53.459 out touch that Detroit lion. The challenge he faces this 0:01:53.539 --> 0:01:56.419 week like a really good madam player beating me, and 0:01:56.459 --> 0:01:59.059 then right away having to face a fourteen year old 0:01:59.099 --> 0:02:01.979 who knows what they're doing. The d Goff faces this 0:02:02.059 --> 0:02:06.619 time around an entirely different east. Green Bay's defense absolutely 0:02:06.699 --> 0:02:11.099 clamped locked, strapped the mighty Vikings offense last week, picked 0:02:11.099 --> 0:02:15.859 off Kurt Cousins three times, Ruddy Ford with a deep interception. 0:02:16.339 --> 0:02:20.259 That's eight turnovers Kurt Hackers defense in the last two weeks. 0:02:20.379 --> 0:02:23.539 And then there was the statement by JayR Alexander that 0:02:23.699 --> 0:02:26.459 likely had she heads out of their chairs screaming no 0:02:27.059 --> 0:02:30.699 he didn't, Yes he did, and then yes they did. 0:02:30.739 --> 0:02:33.579 They backed it up by holding justin Jefferson too. One 0:02:33.659 --> 0:02:39.739 catch fifteen yards on five targets of sideline, and he's 0:02:39.779 --> 0:02:44.219 got a little gritty next to Jefferson. This week Alexander 0:02:44.259 --> 0:02:47.179 and company face an attack that uses a different recipe. 0:02:47.219 --> 0:02:50.299 Detroit's top four in receiving yards of this season all 0:02:50.539 --> 0:02:54.059 white outs Aman Ross st. Brown doesn't gritty, so not 0:02:54.099 --> 0:02:56.339 sure how he'd mock him, but he has over a 0:02:56.379 --> 0:03:00.739 hundred receptions over eleven hundred yards, six touchdowns on the season. 0:03:01.019 --> 0:03:09.299 He's been goffs go to dj Chart though has also 0:03:09.379 --> 0:03:15.339 come on strong the last six weeks. The battle in 0:03:15.379 --> 0:03:17.819 the trenches will be big. Golf had all sorts of 0:03:17.859 --> 0:03:21.859 time versus Chicago. He's had good protection all year. Detroit's 0:03:21.899 --> 0:03:28.699 line is legit right. They take on a very aggressive 0:03:28.779 --> 0:03:31.899 pass rush green Bay with a plus thirty. Pressure rate 0:03:32.019 --> 0:03:34.539 over thirty is high, and when a blitz rate is 0:03:34.579 --> 0:03:39.819 over thirty it is two. And there's is press Pitt 0:03:39.899 --> 0:03:43.579 Smith so Goff versus five plus pass rushers this year 0:03:43.819 --> 0:03:47.179 a hundred and five point one rating fifteen touchdowns against 0:03:47.179 --> 0:03:53.979 four I n T s. Not too shabby. Touch down Lions. 0:03:54.499 --> 0:03:57.859 Lions run game very underrated part of their offense. Keep 0:03:57.859 --> 0:04:00.459 in mind they are eleventh and rush attempts this year. 0:04:00.779 --> 0:04:04.699 Last week, Jamal Hinckle Mcringleberry Williams a hundred and forty 0:04:04.699 --> 0:04:08.379 four yards six point six yards per carry, another celebration 0:04:08.419 --> 0:04:10.739 in the paint and check it out kept it to 0:04:10.859 --> 0:04:18.859 two thrusts, no flags. His partner in crime, DeAndre Swift, 0:04:18.939 --> 0:04:22.139 seventy eight yards seven point one an attempt a touchdown. 0:04:22.259 --> 0:04:25.299 The Lions ran for two hundred sixty five yards total 0:04:25.419 --> 0:04:31.259 last week. The five touchdown Packers defense versus the run. 0:04:31.379 --> 0:04:34.219 While they held Dalvin Cook in check, they still gave 0:04:34.299 --> 0:04:37.699 up some big runs to Alexander Madison, allowed over five 0:04:37.779 --> 0:04:40.899 yards a run to Minnesota. Overall, have given up five 0:04:40.979 --> 0:04:46.219 yards per attempt to running backs. In Park said for 0:04:46.299 --> 0:04:49.779 the touchdown. How Green Bay's own run game fairs is 0:04:49.859 --> 0:04:52.539 also a huge key in this matchup. Aaron Jones a 0:04:52.619 --> 0:04:55.299 hundred and eleven yards seven point nine yards per carry 0:04:55.379 --> 0:04:58.139 last week, five point three per run for the season. 0:04:58.179 --> 0:05:00.819 Now you get too from to the end to put 0:05:00.859 --> 0:05:04.499 the touchstown a J. Dillon will get his two. Green 0:05:04.539 --> 0:05:06.859 Bay ran for a hundred and sixty three yards last 0:05:06.899 --> 0:05:09.259 week on four point nine a run A couple of 0:05:09.299 --> 0:05:14.139 touchdowns gifted telling to the left side of the for 0:05:14.259 --> 0:05:18.859 the Tuchtown. Detroit's defense light green Bays isn't strong versus 0:05:18.899 --> 0:05:21.459 backs either four point eight or run allowed to the 0:05:21.459 --> 0:05:28.179 position plowing right side. Unlike green Bay's defense, though, Detroit's 0:05:28.179 --> 0:05:31.099 play versus the past hasn't been good. Rating allowed in 0:05:31.139 --> 0:05:34.659 the mid nineties eight yards per attempt allowed. He's gonna 0:05:34.699 --> 0:05:40.979 fire right, Yes, gay day off bar cold blooded. Sure, 0:05:41.019 --> 0:05:43.899 they did play justin fields the passer well, but even 0:05:43.899 --> 0:05:47.659 a Rogers with limited weapons is more challenging. Rogers hasn't 0:05:47.699 --> 0:05:49.779 thrown for two hundred forty yards in any of the 0:05:49.819 --> 0:05:53.139 four games they've just won, hasn't had a hundred plus rating, 0:05:53.339 --> 0:05:56.139 hasn't thrown for two t ds in any of the games. 0:05:56.499 --> 0:06:00.259 He doesn't seem to care they're winning. He's still there lurking. 0:06:00.699 --> 0:06:03.139 The fact that we came back from four and eight 0:06:03.139 --> 0:06:05.419 then put ourselves into the to make the playoffs is 0:06:05.459 --> 0:06:09.499 pretty special. Lions did rack up seven sacks versus the Bears, 0:06:09.539 --> 0:06:13.619 just no, Packers line is significantly stronger than Chicago's. Green 0:06:13.659 --> 0:06:16.459 Bay quarterbacks have had the luxury of facing pressure just 0:06:16.579 --> 0:06:19.419 eighteen points seven percent of the time. A few teams 0:06:19.459 --> 0:06:24.259 have been better Rogers Watson Touchsdow. Now Detroit did beat 0:06:24.259 --> 0:06:27.379 Green Bay earlier this year. It's what sparked their turnaround. 0:06:27.579 --> 0:06:30.459 It's a weird one though they won fifteen to nine 0:06:30.539 --> 0:06:33.139 and week nine. Jus what it looked like the Packers. 0:06:33.179 --> 0:06:36.139 We're gonna get back in this thing, he says. Uh. 0:06:37.939 --> 0:06:42.899 Rogers versus Stafford last week of the year, Green Bay win. 0:06:43.139 --> 0:06:46.339 That's the last time Rogers faced Detroit with both teams 0:06:46.379 --> 0:06:49.659 playing for something late. Only one believer in the pride 0:06:49.659 --> 0:06:52.419 on the ten person panel, NFL dot Com writer Mark 0:06:52.499 --> 0:06:57.219 Sessler taking the Lions, the other nine Green Bay. This 0:06:57.379 --> 0:06:59.939 is a playoff game loser has done for the year. 0:07:00.059 --> 0:07:02.619 Winner moves on along with the a f C South 0:07:02.699 --> 0:07:09.619 Crown Hey Crowns of Crowns. Titans sat plenty of their 0:07:09.659 --> 0:07:12.619 guys last week and prep for this matchup. The Jaguars 0:07:12.619 --> 0:07:15.859 did not, but then eventually they did. So. Let's rewind 0:07:15.859 --> 0:07:19.419 a Week fourteen number of relevant takeaways from that Jags 0:07:19.419 --> 0:07:22.339 win over Tennessee keeps it on its own rate. Tries 0:07:22.379 --> 0:07:24.899 to get to the corner died for they had touched 0:07:24.939 --> 0:07:27.619 down Trevor Lawrence. He was hot three t d s 0:07:27.659 --> 0:07:29.899 when it was all over. Za Jones had a pretty 0:07:29.899 --> 0:07:33.299 big game Evan Ingram and even bigger outing a hundred 0:07:33.339 --> 0:07:38.219 and sixty two yards and two touchdowns for the touchdown 0:07:38.299 --> 0:07:41.499 by Evan. Titans might not have had incentive last week, 0:07:41.539 --> 0:07:44.259 but they still gave up two touchdowns to Dalton Schultz. 0:07:44.459 --> 0:07:47.099 A ninety five rating allowed to tight ends for the year, 0:07:47.779 --> 0:07:53.819 plenty of time fires touchdown leaping grabbed by Dalton Schults. 0:07:54.099 --> 0:07:57.259 Only one team is allowed more passing yards per game 0:07:57.339 --> 0:08:00.379 than Tennessee. Very few teams have allowed a higher rate 0:08:00.379 --> 0:08:03.859 to wide receivers. In two their dial turned all the 0:08:03.859 --> 0:08:06.299 way up to one oh two point six. They gave 0:08:06.379 --> 0:08:09.219 up a hundred yards to Seedee Lamb last week. Time 0:08:09.459 --> 0:08:16.499 firing into Tennessee territory ced Lamb. He battled in the 0:08:16.499 --> 0:08:20.379 Titans pass rush against the Jags O line. Tennessee's secondary 0:08:20.499 --> 0:08:24.579 needs someone to hurry Lawrence. Titans pass rush has Denico Autry, 0:08:24.659 --> 0:08:28.539 Jeffrey Simmons, DeMarcus Walker, Rashad Weaver, all of them have 0:08:28.659 --> 0:08:32.619 five and a half sacks or more. Five Jones flushed 0:08:32.699 --> 0:08:36.499 in trouble down goes Lawrence, though one of the least 0:08:36.579 --> 0:08:40.579 sacked qubs in the game this season, but for the touchdown. 0:08:42.219 --> 0:08:45.259 Titans rushed defense one of the best versus running backs. 0:08:45.299 --> 0:08:48.259 Three point for per run allowed, one point nine per 0:08:48.299 --> 0:08:51.419 carry allowed to Zeke on nineteen tries third and short. 0:08:52.099 --> 0:08:57.339 She can't get away from Jack Gibbons. They get Travis 0:08:57.379 --> 0:09:00.299 eat In this week. Another big outing from him last 0:09:00.339 --> 0:09:02.699 week over a hundred yards and to score there he 0:09:02.779 --> 0:09:08.819 goes when he faced the Titans, though they stone Walden. 0:09:09.139 --> 0:09:12.539 The run game will clearly be more important to Tennessee's offense. 0:09:12.779 --> 0:09:15.459 Derrick Henry didn't play versus Dallas. He would have had 0:09:15.459 --> 0:09:19.059 a fine outing versus the Jags save two fumbles, but 0:09:19.299 --> 0:09:21.979 he was over a hundred yards against him. Has been 0:09:22.019 --> 0:09:26.739 over the century mark in his last three games five. 0:09:28.219 --> 0:09:31.299 Jacksonville is capable of making things tough on him. They're 0:09:31.299 --> 0:09:34.179 holding running backs to four a run. The hole is 0:09:34.219 --> 0:09:39.059 there momentarily, but just can't plant get it quickly. Titans 0:09:39.059 --> 0:09:42.459 still had Ryan Tannehill when they played Jacksonville. They don't anymore. 0:09:42.619 --> 0:09:45.259 Malik Willis took over but was only able to throw 0:09:45.299 --> 0:09:47.779 for ninety nine yards and got picked off twice by 0:09:47.819 --> 0:09:51.859 Houston in Week sixteen, So they started Joshua Dobbs last week. 0:09:52.259 --> 0:09:54.419 You know the ad where the kid's band is trying 0:09:54.419 --> 0:09:56.979 out slash Titans are like, you threw for more than 0:09:57.019 --> 0:09:59.819 a hundred yards and a touchdown stop, you have the job. 0:10:02.979 --> 0:10:06.539 The past defense he faces has some respectable digits versus 0:10:06.619 --> 0:10:10.979 quarterbacks that fall is picked off, It is picked off 0:10:10.979 --> 0:10:15.619 the right ticket. Nine Jaguars votes, one for Tennessee from 0:10:15.819 --> 0:10:18.979 m J D, who I believe has been employing reverse 0:10:19.059 --> 0:10:22.659 psychology with his last few Jags picks, so take it 0:10:22.739 --> 0:10:25.259 for what it's worth. The Baltimore Ravens are on the 0:10:25.339 --> 0:10:28.179 road to conclude their regular season. They faced the Bengals 0:10:28.219 --> 0:10:31.499 in Cincinnati, which means their players and fans returned to 0:10:31.539 --> 0:10:35.219 the site where they just endured an emotional experience difficult 0:10:35.219 --> 0:10:38.099 to describe, so let's just start here. When the two 0:10:38.099 --> 0:10:40.579 teams take the field, it'll be two teams that are 0:10:40.619 --> 0:10:43.379 playoff bound no matter what. The a f C North 0:10:43.459 --> 0:10:46.299 title could be on the line, and that's because Baltimore 0:10:46.339 --> 0:10:49.539 beat Cincinnati earlier this season. Across the middle, Andrews has 0:10:49.539 --> 0:10:52.339 it the five turns and is in for a touched 0:10:52.419 --> 0:10:55.019 up was Week five, So it's been a while that 0:10:55.139 --> 0:10:58.819 Baltimore one nineteen seventeen. Their defense held Joe Burrow to 0:10:58.859 --> 0:11:02.259 two seventy yards, picked him off, held Jamar Chase to 0:11:02.379 --> 0:11:07.179 fifty yards. Such a touch or cui, it was very 0:11:07.259 --> 0:11:11.099 much Ravens football. Ravens football this season built on good 0:11:11.179 --> 0:11:15.579 defense first and foremost third fewest points per game allowed, second, 0:11:15.619 --> 0:11:20.179 best in the red zone, fourth and goal par rolls 0:11:20.619 --> 0:11:24.619 to play. Baltimore secondary has been healthier lately to under 0:11:24.659 --> 0:11:27.699 two hundred and fifteen yards passing aloud, and four of 0:11:27.779 --> 0:11:33.859 their last five games broke it up Clark. Bengals fans 0:11:33.939 --> 0:11:36.659 might counter, when is the last time they faced an 0:11:36.699 --> 0:11:40.899 upper tier type QB Week twelve? Trevor Lawrence. Maybe he 0:11:40.979 --> 0:11:44.219 hung two hundred ninety four yards on them. Joe Burrow 0:11:44.339 --> 0:11:47.859 certainly qualifies as upper tier. He's had an upper tier year, 0:11:48.299 --> 0:11:52.139 thirty four touchdowns, a completion rate right under seventy, a 0:11:52.299 --> 0:11:55.219 rating over a hundred. Joe has the ball, fakes to 0:11:55.379 --> 0:11:58.779 Vixi from the pocket, throws into the end zone. Higgins 0:11:59.019 --> 0:12:02.939 bakes the catch for the Bengals touched up. Baltimore Secondary 0:12:02.979 --> 0:12:06.219 hasn't faced a group of US catchers like there's since 0:12:06.579 --> 0:12:09.619 well since they faced them. T Higgins a one K 0:12:09.819 --> 0:12:13.179 guy already, Jamar Chase knocking on the door despite all 0:12:13.179 --> 0:12:16.059 that time, miss and the unsung hero of the group, 0:12:16.139 --> 0:12:19.699 Tyler Boyd has over seven hundred yards. Broke wants to 0:12:19.779 --> 0:12:24.539 throw pass caught by Boyd, tackled at the five. Burrow 0:12:24.619 --> 0:12:27.419 looking his throw caught by Chase heads for the end 0:12:27.499 --> 0:12:32.379 zone touch. The Burrow throws a slant Higgins with a catch, 0:12:32.699 --> 0:12:37.459 he breaks a tackle. Pit's thence the ball touch do again. 0:12:37.499 --> 0:12:40.059 The Ravens are like, yeah, we locked all that up 0:12:40.099 --> 0:12:42.219 and can do it again. And they'd love to see 0:12:42.299 --> 0:12:45.099 Lamar Jackson do what he did in that game again 0:12:45.419 --> 0:12:48.579 because that would mean he was back on the field, 0:12:47.899 --> 0:12:51.499 keep still on his speed. Bengals forty five, forty it's 0:12:51.499 --> 0:12:54.619 anyone's guess how bad his injury is. A shot at 0:12:54.619 --> 0:12:57.579 a playoff home game and a division crown would seem 0:12:57.619 --> 0:13:01.059 like enough incentive, but injuries don't care about incentive. If 0:13:01.099 --> 0:13:04.699 it's Tyler Huntley again, that's problematic. He's have to throw 0:13:04.739 --> 0:13:06.659 for a hundred and forty yards in any of his 0:13:06.739 --> 0:13:12.299 four starts throwing across the ten yard line. That would 0:13:12.299 --> 0:13:15.379 seem like easy pickings for Bengals defense, with the lowest 0:13:15.419 --> 0:13:19.659 completion percentage allowed in the NFL, the sixth lowest rating allowed. 0:13:19.779 --> 0:13:23.939 Righty pouncing in the pocket his throw intercepted. Baltimore isn't 0:13:23.939 --> 0:13:26.739 a past first team, but they need something from it. 0:13:27.019 --> 0:13:29.859 J K. Dobbins is doing his part still. He's been 0:13:29.859 --> 0:13:32.059 giving them four point nine a run over the last 0:13:32.099 --> 0:13:35.299 four games since returning from his injury. Trademark of this 0:13:35.459 --> 0:13:38.779 offense kick out, get to the second level, get down 0:13:38.859 --> 0:13:42.499 on those linebackers. Dobbins and Jackson were both efficient in 0:13:42.539 --> 0:13:46.139 that Week five win two. Bengals run defense has gotten 0:13:46.179 --> 0:13:49.139 better sense thing though, holding quarterbacks to four point four 0:13:49.219 --> 0:13:52.819 yards per carry. That's respectable. Running backs to three point 0:13:52.899 --> 0:13:55.459 nine to carry that's fifth best look at that play 0:13:55.499 --> 0:13:58.379 up front for the Cincinnati defensive front. All ten voters 0:13:58.419 --> 0:14:02.899 sided with Cincinnati in this game. Clean Bengals suite the 0:14:02.939 --> 0:14:05.819 New England Patriots off to Buffalo for the last week 0:14:05.859 --> 0:14:08.219 of the year. Playoffs are on the line for them, 0:14:08.219 --> 0:14:10.579 taking on the Bills, who have to try and focus 0:14:10.659 --> 0:14:13.899 after going through an emotional experience that can't really be 0:14:13.979 --> 0:14:16.979 put into words. The Patriots win this week, they make 0:14:17.059 --> 0:14:20.059 the playoffs. These two played each other about a month ago, 0:14:20.219 --> 0:14:23.739 recent enough, it's still somewhat relevant. Bill's defense led them 0:14:23.779 --> 0:14:25.899 to the win twenty four to ten in Week thirteen, 0:14:26.299 --> 0:14:29.219 the key holding New England to three for twelve on 0:14:29.379 --> 0:14:32.819 third down. They packed the line to the Bills and 0:14:32.859 --> 0:14:36.819 the blows on the ground. Stevenson's the fumbles, but they'll 0:14:36.819 --> 0:14:39.419 have to kill Bills. Past defense held mac Jones to 0:14:39.459 --> 0:14:42.019 a hundred ninety five yards under five and a half 0:14:42.139 --> 0:14:45.099 yards per attempt, and they only allowed one play over 0:14:45.139 --> 0:14:47.899 twenty yards all game to the Patriots go a yard 0:14:47.939 --> 0:14:51.339 or two beyond the first down Barker, even if he cats, 0:14:51.619 --> 0:14:54.179 he's he's short by a yard or two. Since then, 0:14:54.219 --> 0:14:56.619 New England has gone two and two, though the two 0:14:56.659 --> 0:15:00.339 losses could have easily been wins save two late game fumbles. 0:15:00.659 --> 0:15:03.219 Buffalo hasn't lost a game since. They're on a six 0:15:03.259 --> 0:15:06.139 game win streak, still hoping to lock up home field, 0:15:06.179 --> 0:15:08.659 advantaged to fires into the end don in it is 0:15:08.939 --> 0:15:13.419 Cape Davis now. Matt Jones is playing better recently compared 0:15:13.459 --> 0:15:16.099 to when he played the Bills coupled t ds last 0:15:16.139 --> 0:15:19.939 week point for rating two hundred three yards back to 0:15:20.019 --> 0:15:22.419 back good games for him, four t d s and 0:15:22.539 --> 0:15:25.619 zero picks, probably the best two game stretch he's had 0:15:25.659 --> 0:15:29.499 all year. Jones swings it off Hi and handled for 0:15:29.619 --> 0:15:33.099 the touchdown that hats Passing attacks still isn't fueled by 0:15:33.139 --> 0:15:37.179 any one guy, game by game wide receiver Jacoby Myers 0:15:37.179 --> 0:15:40.939 tight end, Hunter Henry running back where mondre Stevenson are 0:15:40.939 --> 0:15:44.699 the most consistent recipients of max targets. Really good protection 0:15:44.739 --> 0:15:47.739 allows Mac Jones to spot his target and boys he 0:15:47.859 --> 0:15:51.659 on target. Beautiful throw to an open Jacoby Myers. Bills 0:15:51.699 --> 0:15:54.419 past defense has given up three hundred plus yards four 0:15:54.459 --> 0:15:57.419 times this season, but they've held teams under two hundred 0:15:57.499 --> 0:16:01.779 thirty five eleven games. Not once has anyone landed between 0:16:01.779 --> 0:16:04.859 two hundred forty and three hundred against them. That's weird. 0:16:05.299 --> 0:16:07.939 Held the last five teams under two hundred and thirty 0:16:07.939 --> 0:16:10.819 five yards passing have some of the best stats versus 0:16:10.899 --> 0:16:13.499 quarterbacks in playing hunting two get the throwing tip to 0:16:13.539 --> 0:16:16.099 the line of scrimmage and falls into complete Patriots pass 0:16:16.179 --> 0:16:19.019 defense it's been just as tough their neighbors and just 0:16:19.099 --> 0:16:23.979 about every category his passes afflicted and intercepted. They might 0:16:24.059 --> 0:16:27.579 have more pressure to contain Buffalo's passing attack early. The 0:16:27.619 --> 0:16:30.299 Patriots don't want to chase points because it's harder to 0:16:30.419 --> 0:16:33.899 incorporate Stevenson as a runner. Nine hundred and eighty six 0:16:33.979 --> 0:16:36.339 yards for the year four point eight or one. Look 0:16:36.339 --> 0:16:39.219 at the fidget cut, cut, usually again with another cut, 0:16:39.379 --> 0:16:41.939 and then it gets up feel vertically not terrible, not 0:16:42.059 --> 0:16:45.779 good either. That's Buffalo's defense versus running backs four point 0:16:45.819 --> 0:16:49.179 three yards per carry allowed, and the Jets strike to 0:16:49.339 --> 0:16:52.779 begin the third quarter with a touchdown rout. Still, Jones 0:16:52.819 --> 0:16:55.939 and company face a Buffalo defense that's the second hardest 0:16:55.939 --> 0:16:58.499 to score on, hardest to score on in the red 0:16:58.579 --> 0:17:01.139 zone top ten, and yards per game allowed. And on 0:17:01.299 --> 0:17:06.579 third day target ball comes out in complete and Milano 0:17:06.739 --> 0:17:09.979 came over to make it difficult. New England's defense, meantime, 0:17:10.019 --> 0:17:13.099 faces an offense top ten in the big four categories, 0:17:13.299 --> 0:17:15.739 points for game, yards for game, third down in red 0:17:15.819 --> 0:17:18.539 zone TD scoring jock Head to the end zone is 0:17:18.619 --> 0:17:22.099 in rips down. Josh Allen had a clean game in 0:17:22.139 --> 0:17:24.419 their win over New England, a couple of touchdowns, a 0:17:24.499 --> 0:17:27.539 hundred and six point zero rating. Stefon Digs the star 0:17:27.659 --> 0:17:30.899 pass catcher in that game seven catches ninety two yards. 0:17:31.019 --> 0:17:33.179 Let's get the ball to our guy one on one 0:17:33.259 --> 0:17:36.579 matchup and he just turns Jonathan Jones around. Allen has 0:17:36.619 --> 0:17:39.059 had a good season, but he's had some trouble since 0:17:39.139 --> 0:17:42.019 hurting his elbow in Week nine. Starting with that game, 0:17:42.059 --> 0:17:46.259 only three plus one hundred rating games, five sub ninety 0:17:46.419 --> 0:17:50.419 rating games, including his last full game versus Chicago. New 0:17:50.419 --> 0:17:52.419 England's defense is good enough to hold him to a 0:17:52.459 --> 0:17:59.419 six stands in far side rips off Gordon Digs. Production 0:17:59.459 --> 0:18:02.419 has been down recently as a result, but still thirteen 0:18:02.499 --> 0:18:04.779 hundred twenty five yards on the year or a hundred 0:18:04.779 --> 0:18:07.859 and one catches ten touchdown just no more than sixty 0:18:07.899 --> 0:18:10.939 yards in three straight games. Name what about the trenches. 0:18:11.019 --> 0:18:13.819 Bills have allowed the ninth few of sacks with time 0:18:14.059 --> 0:18:19.259 throwing too play across midfield Pie Dawson knots. They take 0:18:19.299 --> 0:18:22.459 on a pass team in love with gardening planted fifty 0:18:22.539 --> 0:18:27.979 two hubs, second most in the NFL. Spin three New 0:18:28.059 --> 0:18:31.619 England players get there. Those rush attack can't be overlooked 0:18:31.619 --> 0:18:34.499 in this matchup. They don't run a ton, but James Cook, 0:18:34.579 --> 0:18:37.539 Devin Singletary, and Alan have led the Bills to a 0:18:37.659 --> 0:18:41.459 five point three run yard per carry average, second highest 0:18:41.539 --> 0:18:44.539 in the NFL. Big Hole. You get him running downhill, 0:18:44.619 --> 0:18:47.019 he puts a lot of pressure on those safety is 0:18:47.019 --> 0:18:49.539 trying to come up and to run support. Ten person 0:18:49.659 --> 0:18:53.499 panel all took the Bills to sweep the Patriots. It 0:18:53.619 --> 0:18:57.179 all comes down to this week. Eighteen Jets licking their wounds, 0:18:57.299 --> 0:19:00.339 playing for pride in the potential role of spoiler on 0:19:00.499 --> 0:19:03.859 the road in Miami. The Dolphins still alive, but stumbling 0:19:03.939 --> 0:19:07.019 in on a five game losing street. Jones swims it 0:19:07.139 --> 0:19:10.979 up and handled for the touchdown to make the dance. 0:19:11.099 --> 0:19:14.659 The Fins need this win, combined with Buffalo beating New England. 0:19:14.939 --> 0:19:17.739 Their team's offense driven by the pass. But who is 0:19:17.739 --> 0:19:20.139 going to be behind the wheel. The guy behind the 0:19:20.219 --> 0:19:22.779 guy got hurt again last week, so the guy behind 0:19:22.859 --> 0:19:25.419 the guy behind the guy was in again. Skyler Thompson, 0:19:25.459 --> 0:19:27.659 the rookie had a Kansas State rushes on the way 0:19:28.619 --> 0:19:33.499 his passes deflected and intercepted. Skyler Thompson and Teddy Bridgewater 0:19:33.699 --> 0:19:36.299 last week each a touchdown pass each and I n 0:19:36.379 --> 0:19:39.459 T each with a sub ninety rating. The cheetah and 0:19:39.579 --> 0:19:42.499 the penguin both held to under sixty receiving yards. Rich 0:19:42.539 --> 0:19:46.579 water comes it intercepted, picked up by Kyle Tucker. It's 0:19:46.619 --> 0:19:50.859 not inconceivable that Tah returns, but Tungua volois concussion issues 0:19:50.939 --> 0:19:53.659 make it tricky. He clearly would give them their best 0:19:53.699 --> 0:19:57.099 shot at winning. Hill and Waddle become much harder to contain. 0:19:57.499 --> 0:20:01.899 Both guys have put up monster years. He's got still 0:20:02.459 --> 0:20:08.259 a touchdowf for Waddle. Hold on guts, jail and Waddle. 0:20:08.619 --> 0:20:13.299 We got the penguin in the ant gets it off, 0:20:13.419 --> 0:20:16.939 goes deep field diary kill, got behind everybody in took 0:20:17.419 --> 0:20:19.899 gleat it rip whoever gets the knot at QB. For 0:20:19.979 --> 0:20:22.699 the Dolphins, they've got a tough task, though, facing the 0:20:22.779 --> 0:20:26.139 league's second best past defense and the Jets Sauce Gardner 0:20:26.259 --> 0:20:29.939 four passes defense last week. He's the leader in that category. 0:20:30.299 --> 0:20:33.139 Defensive Rookie of the Year my so developed for a 0:20:33.219 --> 0:20:36.219 young player. Watch that left hand come inside there knocked 0:20:36.259 --> 0:20:39.859 that thing away. Miami's quarterbacks have to remain upright long 0:20:40.019 --> 0:20:42.619 enough to throw the football to Given the Jets forty 0:20:42.699 --> 0:20:46.179 four sacks this season, seventh best in the NFL not 0:20:46.379 --> 0:20:48.939 the match up these Dolphins need trying to eke into 0:20:48.979 --> 0:20:53.739 the playoffs. Ch spin, pick sacks, three New England players 0:20:53.899 --> 0:20:57.179 get there. Maammy could copy a page from Seattle's playbook. 0:20:57.219 --> 0:20:59.579 The Jets got gashed on the ground in their loss 0:20:59.659 --> 0:21:02.939 to Seattle last week. Hundred ninety eight yards on five 0:21:03.019 --> 0:21:06.459 point to a carry could demonstrate a late season weakness. 0:21:06.499 --> 0:21:14.299 Socker the roof, look her rush. Maybe that's an opening 0:21:14.419 --> 0:21:17.499 for Raheem, who has provided most of the Dolphins rush 0:21:17.579 --> 0:21:19.699 yards this season. What do you want for me? I 0:21:19.779 --> 0:21:21.699 have to read like two hundred and fifty of these. 0:21:21.779 --> 0:21:24.259 I have to amuse myself at times. Most Dirt and 0:21:24.339 --> 0:21:27.499 Jeff Wilson, though both do average over four point five 0:21:27.539 --> 0:21:31.459 a run, they just don't get used. A tone to 0:21:31.539 --> 0:21:35.459 the test. Five touched out Dolphins defense could very easily 0:21:35.579 --> 0:21:37.939 lead them to victory. The Jets have gone their last 0:21:38.059 --> 0:21:41.579 eight quarters without a touchdown. Mike White came back and 0:21:41.659 --> 0:21:45.259 got the starting nod this past week against Seattle. No touchdowns, 0:21:45.299 --> 0:21:48.099 two interceptions appears this is a team that will be 0:21:48.259 --> 0:21:55.819 QB shopping this offseason. White rolls stamp it with something's 0:21:55.859 --> 0:21:58.939 got to give them. The Dolphins defense allows almost twenty 0:21:59.019 --> 0:22:01.299 five points a game, sixth worst in the league, and 0:22:01.339 --> 0:22:03.979 they allow the sixth most passing yards a game. Jokes 0:22:04.339 --> 0:22:08.299 twin pass touchdown asked for when these first two met 0:22:08.419 --> 0:22:10.939 If Skyler Thompson gets the nod, he would be seeing 0:22:10.979 --> 0:22:13.179 the Jets for a second time. He was nineteen of 0:22:13.259 --> 0:22:16.299 thirty three one pick no scores. That was back in 0:22:16.379 --> 0:22:19.619 Week five, a contest that saw the Jets dismantled the 0:22:19.699 --> 0:22:22.659 Dolphins to a tune of forty to seventeen frac The 0:22:22.739 --> 0:22:27.059 Berril Spronts left turns the park a TEG five pot 0:22:28.299 --> 0:22:31.259 Lucky for Miami. The Jets offensive output versus them in 0:22:31.339 --> 0:22:34.459 Week five was in admiration. Those forty points the most 0:22:34.539 --> 0:22:37.739 they've scored by far this year. Winds up Betty's from 0:22:37.819 --> 0:22:41.339 Behind The follows out It's Rule of Fumball panel was 0:22:41.459 --> 0:22:45.459 split on this game. Five Miami votes five for the Jets. 0:22:46.579 --> 0:22:49.899 The l A Rams end their season by heading north 0:22:49.979 --> 0:22:52.619 to Seattle. The Rams don't have anything on the line, 0:22:52.699 --> 0:22:55.539 but Seattle does thanks to a big win over the 0:22:55.659 --> 0:23:01.059 Jets in Week eighteen. On the run, Eryl Taylor brought 0:23:01.179 --> 0:23:04.619 him down. That's time expires. Seahawks gotta beat l a 0:23:04.859 --> 0:23:08.059 hope Detroit beats Green Bay. If those two things happen 0:23:08.259 --> 0:23:10.819 onto the playoffs, they go, and if they can play 0:23:10.859 --> 0:23:13.259 as complete a game as they did last week, they 0:23:13.339 --> 0:23:16.379 could take care of things fairly easily on their own end. 0:23:16.619 --> 0:23:23.019 Cloaks one for the ends a Shaw, Gino Smith two touchdowns, 0:23:23.099 --> 0:23:25.819 no I n t s against an elite secondary, a 0:23:25.979 --> 0:23:28.579 rating over a hundred. They made it tough on him 0:23:28.619 --> 0:23:31.739 to find his two main guys, so he adapted top 0:23:31.859 --> 0:23:34.939 three past catchers last week tight ends and a running 0:23:34.979 --> 0:23:39.299 back Smith wide open. That's his tight end again. Rams 0:23:39.339 --> 0:23:41.819 have not been strong against the past this season. They 0:23:41.859 --> 0:23:44.259
