Happy T Day Week everyone, 0:00:10.379 --> 0:00:13.739 This is NFL Game Previews. I'm game preview Guy. We 0:00:13.819 --> 0:00:17.019 are breaking down every week twelve matchup for you, along 0:00:17.059 --> 0:00:19.899 with a recap of how our ten person panel voted 0:00:19.939 --> 0:00:22.379 on each. Let's start in the a f C the 0:00:22.539 --> 0:00:26.739 Jungle taking on tighten up huge late season a f 0:00:26.859 --> 0:00:29.779 C matchup in Tennessee this week. The Titans, winners of 0:00:29.819 --> 0:00:32.779 seven of their last eight, welcoming a familiar phoe to 0:00:32.859 --> 0:00:36.379 town in the Cincinnati Bengals. This one has upper management 0:00:36.419 --> 0:00:42.539 written all over a conference championship preview potential to Titans 0:00:42.619 --> 0:00:47.419 defense locking up with Cincinnati's aerial attack. Bengals defense focused 0:00:47.499 --> 0:00:50.219 on the King, but Derrick Henry hasn't been the one 0:00:50.299 --> 0:00:53.179 making the Titans oh looks so much better their last 0:00:53.179 --> 0:00:56.459 two games. It's been the play of Ryan Tannehill. If 0:00:56.499 --> 0:00:58.739 he keeps their pass game as productive as it has 0:00:58.779 --> 0:01:02.419 been recently, Bengals are going to have their hands full 0:01:02.659 --> 0:01:05.339 left till deep that build, and it's going to be 0:01:05.419 --> 0:01:08.219 home and at the thirty nine yard lot. Tennessee had 0:01:08.259 --> 0:01:10.859 gone five straight games with under a hundred and forty 0:01:10.899 --> 0:01:14.539 yards passing prior to Tannehill's return. He then puts up 0:01:14.579 --> 0:01:17.259 two hundred and fifty five and week ten then blows 0:01:17.339 --> 0:01:20.779 up for three hundred and thirty three last week two touchdowns. 0:01:20.899 --> 0:01:26.859 Rating over is the pocket fires spot staff to Hilliard, 0:01:27.019 --> 0:01:30.539 Cincinnati's corners are going to get legit tested by Tennessee's 0:01:30.579 --> 0:01:33.219 wide outs. It's been a while since anyone is worried 0:01:33.259 --> 0:01:36.659 about them. Last week, Traylon Burke's finally had his breakout 0:01:36.699 --> 0:01:39.859 performance seven catches over a hundred ten yards this time. 0:01:39.859 --> 0:01:43.019 Of all people, you're gonna go after Chaire Alexander who 0:01:43.059 --> 0:01:45.899 is probably sleeping all good play. And Robert Woods showed 0:01:45.939 --> 0:01:50.219 his pass catching game six catches almost seventy yards back 0:01:50.259 --> 0:01:55.259 on first down. Open his Woods and Woods for a 0:01:55.299 --> 0:01:58.699 big game if it's a wide receiver centric attack again 0:01:58.779 --> 0:02:02.139 this week Cincinnati is in post a Woozier world. So 0:02:02.259 --> 0:02:05.699 just recap a last week versus Pittsburgh's group. They gave 0:02:05.779 --> 0:02:08.259 up a hundred and forty three yards to whiteouts and 0:02:08.379 --> 0:02:11.579 a touchdown a rating of one twelve point two. This 0:02:11.659 --> 0:02:15.979 has taken advantage of three name coverage. Keating Tannehill up 0:02:15.979 --> 0:02:18.779 has always been fairly easy to do. Tighten Up knows 0:02:18.859 --> 0:02:22.219 that most games their quarterbacks have David Bowie slash Queen 0:02:22.339 --> 0:02:26.019 in their earbuds. Pressure rate allowed for the year thirty 0:02:26.059 --> 0:02:29.659 seven percent action look at it, he goes. But the 0:02:29.739 --> 0:02:33.339 last two games the pressure rate allowed dropped under thirty 0:02:33.459 --> 0:02:37.099 Not elite, but an improvement that a hill growing open 0:02:37.419 --> 0:02:40.899 and trying to make the Graham and Dussie along the sideline. 0:02:40.939 --> 0:02:43.019 The officials look at each other. Yet titans O line 0:02:43.019 --> 0:02:45.539 will spend much of their energy trying to keep Cincinnati's 0:02:45.579 --> 0:02:49.299 defensive ends Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard from bothering Tannehill. 0:02:49.659 --> 0:02:52.299 Bengals may not have a great sack total, but that 0:02:52.459 --> 0:02:56.339 duo has generated plenty of pressure. Hendrickson also grabbed two 0:02:56.379 --> 0:03:00.179 bags in week eleven, so Tennessee's line isn't facing Jackie Tree. 0:03:00.179 --> 0:03:04.259 Horns goons good pressure Hendrickson, but watch Hubbard. He comes 0:03:04.259 --> 0:03:06.699 out and then he's just going to be unblocked. Bengals 0:03:06.699 --> 0:03:09.339 still have to devote plenty of bodies to stopping Henry 0:03:09.579 --> 0:03:12.619 Weird right, Henry's efficiency had dropped the last two games 0:03:12.619 --> 0:03:16.099 that Tannehill's numbers have jumped. You ever hit soda popinski 0:03:16.299 --> 0:03:19.299 or bald bowl in the stomach, body blow, body blow, 0:03:19.819 --> 0:03:24.699 bouncing trying to get free nice run after initial contact. 0:03:24.779 --> 0:03:27.059 Henry doesn't always have to break a big one to 0:03:27.139 --> 0:03:29.859 impact the game. He can be popping the Bengals all 0:03:29.899 --> 0:03:32.739 our little Mac over and over so Tannehill can throw 0:03:32.779 --> 0:03:36.099 the knockout punch. You aren't always winning just because you're 0:03:36.139 --> 0:03:39.259 holding the king under four yards per carry. Keeps fighting. 0:03:39.899 --> 0:03:43.099 It gets that first. As we said before of his 0:03:43.259 --> 0:03:48.099 jord Bengals versus running backs in holding them to a 0:03:48.219 --> 0:03:51.499 nice four point one yard per carry average, but versus 0:03:51.539 --> 0:03:54.739 Nagy Harris last week gave up ninety yards four and 0:03:54.779 --> 0:04:00.899 a half a carry and two t d s now 0:04:00.979 --> 0:04:03.539 to the other side of the table. Joe Burrow, coming 0:04:03.579 --> 0:04:06.579 in feeling shysty I guess three hundred and fifty five 0:04:06.659 --> 0:04:10.459 yards last week over nine an attempt, four touchdown passes, 0:04:10.699 --> 0:04:16.139 raiding over a hundred side. He did throw a couple 0:04:16.139 --> 0:04:18.979 of picks, but the Bengals key quartet wasn't complete for 0:04:19.099 --> 0:04:22.219 last week's win. A Blue Meanie had turned their passing 0:04:22.219 --> 0:04:25.139 attack into more of a trio. Jamaar Chase may be 0:04:25.339 --> 0:04:27.659 ready to return this week, though, which makes it that 0:04:27.739 --> 0:04:31.699 much harder on Tennessee's secondary. Titans past defense held Aaron 0:04:31.819 --> 0:04:34.259 Rodgers in the shop last week two hundred and twenty 0:04:34.299 --> 0:04:37.819 seven yards under six in attempt. Here's buying time. Rogers 0:04:37.859 --> 0:04:41.299 get that fill and that's incomplete in the back of 0:04:41.419 --> 0:04:45.259 the end. Their secondaries play overall in the average range. 0:04:45.459 --> 0:04:48.379 They can't be average against Cincinnati and expect to win. 0:04:48.459 --> 0:04:51.259 Though Chase is enough trouble, but then Tennessee s t 0:04:51.419 --> 0:04:54.539 Higgins to deal with. He just slapped down nine catches 0:04:54.579 --> 0:05:00.779 in a hundred and forty eight yards. Has caught Tyler 0:05:00.899 --> 0:05:03.499 boyd looms as well. He's been good for fifty five 0:05:03.539 --> 0:05:07.739 plus yards her game this season down the side. Catch 0:05:08.339 --> 0:05:12.379 Tyler Boy and let's not forget what Burrow got from 0:05:12.419 --> 0:05:16.299 his running backs last week, seven catches ninety four yards 0:05:16.379 --> 0:05:19.939 as were the middle nice grape by mixing, mixing up 0:05:19.979 --> 0:05:22.059 to the thirty yard line. So you turn to the 0:05:22.099 --> 0:05:25.219 Tennessee pass rush to try and slow their flow. It 0:05:25.259 --> 0:05:28.579 should get home versus Burrow Joe facing three different guys 0:05:28.659 --> 0:05:34.699 with five plus bags on the year looking and Burrow, 0:05:34.739 --> 0:05:37.419 of course is used to being dropped. Thirty four sacks 0:05:37.459 --> 0:05:41.459 taken for the season runs so it's more about pressure 0:05:41.619 --> 0:05:44.219 forcing him into bad decisions than it is about the 0:05:44.259 --> 0:05:48.459 actual sack. Pauleen Wolf m j D NFL dot com 0:05:48.499 --> 0:05:52.419 writer Kevin Patra taking the Bengals the other seven on 0:05:52.459 --> 0:05:55.779 the panel. Going Tennessee, the Green Bay Packers are on 0:05:55.819 --> 0:05:59.139 the road for Sunday Night football in Philadelphia, facing an 0:05:59.139 --> 0:06:03.979 Eagle squad back to fly Eagles flying Hurts run texted 0:06:04.179 --> 0:06:06.819 and he touched down. Nothing in front of it except 0:06:06.819 --> 0:06:09.019 the end zone. Jalen Hurts may have won the game 0:06:09.099 --> 0:06:12.179 on that run, but it's Philadelphia's defense that held things 0:06:12.259 --> 0:06:14.699 down long enough for him to do that, and it's 0:06:14.699 --> 0:06:17.979 Philadelphia's defense that should lead the way. In this preview, 0:06:18.139 --> 0:06:20.259 Ryan gets rid of it in a hurry and that 0:06:20.299 --> 0:06:23.459 ball is broke it up. Aaron Rodgers and Company lined 0:06:23.539 --> 0:06:26.939 up against the Philadelphia d holding teams under twenty points 0:06:26.939 --> 0:06:30.419 a game. The driving force behind that plenty of takeaways 0:06:30.779 --> 0:06:34.179 first in the league, a swarm around it, bodies flying 0:06:34.259 --> 0:06:37.539 towards the football, and the Eagles client They've got Eagles 0:06:37.579 --> 0:06:41.259 defense facing a lackluster Green Bay offense. They were held 0:06:41.339 --> 0:06:44.739 under twenty points again last week. That's three times that's 0:06:44.779 --> 0:06:47.699 happened in the last four games, Rodgers dancing at the 0:06:47.699 --> 0:06:49.739 goal line back to the end zone has to get 0:06:49.739 --> 0:06:52.419 out of there. The cheese Heads only have four wins. 0:06:52.579 --> 0:06:56.459 What sticks out about that quartet of games hundred plus 0:06:56.539 --> 0:07:00.619 rushing yards in three of the four touchdown Herron Jones, 0:07:00.819 --> 0:07:03.579 and all of their losses save one, they ran for 0:07:03.699 --> 0:07:07.219 less than hundred and fifteen yards total, including last week. 0:07:07.339 --> 0:07:10.419 Aaron Jones a fat five point four yards per carry 0:07:10.499 --> 0:07:13.779 for the year, just three point three last week. A 0:07:13.899 --> 0:07:18.299 ground Jones outside. But the Titans are right there and 0:07:18.499 --> 0:07:21.499 gang tangle. The Eagles just loaded up to be able 0:07:21.539 --> 0:07:24.219 to play the run better. Guess it worked. They faced 0:07:24.299 --> 0:07:27.179 Jonathan Taylor. He did score on them, but they held 0:07:27.219 --> 0:07:29.219 him to three point eight yards a carry on his 0:07:29.299 --> 0:07:32.619 twenty two tries. Taylor chall not break away. It's a 0:07:32.699 --> 0:07:35.339 loss on the play. If Jones can't lead the way 0:07:35.379 --> 0:07:39.019 against Philadelphia, then Aaron Rodgers in the pack passing offense 0:07:39.059 --> 0:07:41.259 have to do some damage against one of the best 0:07:41.339 --> 0:07:46.419 secondaries in the game. James Bradberry, Avonte Maddox, Darius Slay, 0:07:46.579 --> 0:07:51.139 Chauncey Gardner, Johnson starting Eagles dbs none with the rating 0:07:51.179 --> 0:07:56.019 allowed over eight. Ryan loads it up catch Paris Campbell 0:07:56.219 --> 0:07:58.819 and it's broken up. Philadelphia held Matt Ryan to a 0:07:58.899 --> 0:08:02.259 sub ninety rating last week, under seven yards per attempt. 0:08:02.659 --> 0:08:06.019 Now they take on Rogers and company. They're passing attack 0:08:06.099 --> 0:08:09.379 has that metal and feel to it last week symbolic 0:08:09.419 --> 0:08:13.059 of their couple t d s mid nineties rating. No 0:08:13.259 --> 0:08:15.859 ion t S and Rogers were thrown it back at 0:08:15.899 --> 0:08:19.979 age clock there by watching for the touchdown with just 0:08:20.179 --> 0:08:23.379 five point eight yards per attempt, only two passes that 0:08:23.419 --> 0:08:27.059 went for twenty plus yards. The explosiveness they exhibited in 0:08:27.099 --> 0:08:30.619 their big win over Dallas was no more. They need 0:08:30.659 --> 0:08:34.539 to find it to be effective against Philadelphia. Short pass again, 0:08:34.579 --> 0:08:37.899 and that's clock here by Allen Lazard, who does Philly 0:08:38.019 --> 0:08:41.699 stick on Christian Watson two more touchdowns last week five 0:08:41.819 --> 0:08:47.379 now in his last two games. It throws touchdown Watson, 0:08:47.579 --> 0:08:50.979 who wasn't the most targeted pass catcher versus Tennessee though 0:08:51.019 --> 0:08:54.539 Alan Lazard was, but Rogers only connected with him five 0:08:54.659 --> 0:08:58.539 times on eleven tries. That's rough everything, just the way 0:08:59.099 --> 0:09:01.939 Aaron Rodgers would like balls, just a little high. Then 0:09:01.979 --> 0:09:04.579 there's Randall Cobb, who came back from injury and put 0:09:04.659 --> 0:09:09.099 up seventy three yards caught all six of his targets. 0:09:11.139 --> 0:09:15.019 Those wrangle Eagles offense. Now, they did enough to beat 0:09:15.019 --> 0:09:18.219 the Colts, but seventeen points in week eleven only twenty 0:09:18.259 --> 0:09:21.059 one in Week ten not great for a team that's 0:09:21.099 --> 0:09:24.459 top five on the year. The Culprit turnovers four in 0:09:24.539 --> 0:09:27.819 that loss to Washington, two more last week in their wins. 0:09:32.099 --> 0:09:35.619 Philadelphia is still a run dominant team. Thirty three carries 0:09:35.739 --> 0:09:39.219 last week versus twenty five passes. Jalen Hurts led the 0:09:39.219 --> 0:09:43.299 way sixteen attempts, eighty six yards, five point four a carry, 0:09:43.339 --> 0:09:45.899 and a touchdown, but that's the first time he had 0:09:45.899 --> 0:09:48.939 more than thirty rushing yards in a game in five games. 0:09:48.939 --> 0:09:51.979 This is a quarterback keeper four Hurts who's dangerous with 0:09:52.099 --> 0:09:55.059 his legs. Miles Sanders comes in a little cold, having 0:09:55.059 --> 0:09:57.899 been held to three point six a run versus Indianapolis. 0:09:58.219 --> 0:10:00.739 Packers haven't played the run great this season, but they 0:10:00.739 --> 0:10:03.779 do come in off their best showing held Derrick Henry 0:10:03.819 --> 0:10:06.419 to three point one yards per carry and didn't allow 0:10:06.459 --> 0:10:09.139 him a single ten plus yard run. Give it to 0:10:09.219 --> 0:10:12.819 Henry and they're gonna sack on kurtz Is taking on 0:10:12.859 --> 0:10:15.899 a shook up green Bay secondary. Their last showing, they 0:10:15.899 --> 0:10:18.459 gave up three hundred and thirty three yards to Ryan 0:10:18.539 --> 0:10:22.779 Tannehill a one seven point three rating. He's not usually 0:10:22.819 --> 0:10:25.019 known for those kind of yards. Look at the eyes, 0:10:25.099 --> 0:10:28.259 move that safety, come back, put the ball out in front, 0:10:28.499 --> 0:10:31.379 take care of the ball protected. Eagles passing attack is 0:10:31.419 --> 0:10:34.619 a wide receiver show. Davante Smith finally had a good 0:10:34.659 --> 0:10:37.459 yardage game in the eleven got to seventy eight at 0:10:37.539 --> 0:10:40.339 least balls out of his hands full and now look 0:10:40.539 --> 0:10:43.019 Davante Smith just starting to make his turn back A J. 0:10:43.219 --> 0:10:47.499 Brown Drew Stefan Gilmore five catches sixty yards. Not bad 0:10:47.539 --> 0:10:49.259 with that kind of dude on him for most of 0:10:49.299 --> 0:10:52.699 those snaps. Play action Kertch has the time at he 0:10:52.899 --> 0:10:57.019 delivers everyone on the ten person panel went Green, the 0:10:57.139 --> 0:11:01.459 one with wings, not cheese. The Chicago Bears take their 0:11:01.579 --> 0:11:04.619 run show on the road, ready to unleash at Russia. 0:11:04.619 --> 0:11:07.339 Attack on one of the best defenses in the game. 0:11:07.739 --> 0:11:11.459 Gang Green is back. Michael Clemmons comes up with his 0:11:11.619 --> 0:11:14.659 second sack of the season. You're welcome, Jets fans. This 0:11:14.739 --> 0:11:17.299 is a preview. Previews only use the past to try 0:11:17.299 --> 0:11:21.539 and explain possibilities in the future. So random horrible, flukey 0:11:21.619 --> 0:11:24.579 game ending plays that will never happen again. Don't matter. 0:11:24.739 --> 0:11:28.619 Right now, you're safe. The Jets formula still starts with 0:11:28.699 --> 0:11:31.979 their defense right and their last six games, only one 0:11:32.059 --> 0:11:37.739 team managed more than seventeen points against them, intercepting Sauce 0:11:37.819 --> 0:11:41.059 Gardner's cut it. Match that up with a Bears offense 0:11:41.099 --> 0:11:43.739 that has put up twenty four points or better five 0:11:43.819 --> 0:11:49.419 straight games. Turn on the speed fields on the angle, 0:11:49.659 --> 0:11:55.259 try it out, race Okuda for the top stown so 0:11:55.499 --> 0:11:59.539 which sides strength prevails. Jets have to keep justin fields 0:11:59.579 --> 0:12:02.619 from going road runner all over him. If he plays, 0:12:02.739 --> 0:12:05.619 he's dealing with a hurt show dirt. Last week, though 0:12:05.699 --> 0:12:08.699 eighteen carries eighty five yards four point seven a run 0:12:08.699 --> 0:12:11.779 in a touchdown, over seventy five rushing yards per game 0:12:11.859 --> 0:12:14.739 this season, eight plus rush yards in five of his 0:12:14.899 --> 0:12:18.819 last six. Hey's got a touchdown unt touched into the 0:12:18.899 --> 0:12:21.739 end zone. Here are a few of the relevant notes 0:12:21.779 --> 0:12:25.819 regarding New York's run defense versus rushing quarterbacks. They lost 0:12:25.859 --> 0:12:28.059 to Lamar Jackson in Week one, but he didn't do 0:12:28.099 --> 0:12:31.779 anything significant on the ground against them. They beat Josh 0:12:31.779 --> 0:12:34.219 Allen in the Bills, but he got them pretty good 0:12:34.219 --> 0:12:36.899 when he took off in the end four point two 0:12:36.979 --> 0:12:41.619 yards per carry allowed to quarterbacks. That's solid Lamars cut 0:12:41.659 --> 0:12:45.179 from behind by C. J. Poseley. David Montgomery will get 0:12:45.179 --> 0:12:48.299 a decent share of carry's. Dude runs hard. He scored 0:12:48.419 --> 0:12:51.539 last week for the Bears over sixty five yards Montgomery 0:12:52.179 --> 0:12:56.179 Grand Roman Family end zone, patient running and a touchdown. 0:12:56.739 --> 0:12:59.299 He had another one of those grinder games, though, only 0:12:59.379 --> 0:13:02.059 three point nine yards per carry in Week eleven, just 0:13:02.179 --> 0:13:04.779 three point eight for the year. He won't have an 0:13:04.779 --> 0:13:07.699 easy time topping those kind of numbers. Versus New York, 0:13:07.979 --> 0:13:11.339 They're holding running backs to four a run and Stevenson 0:13:11.459 --> 0:13:14.899 wrapped up that time by John Franklin. Mayer fields the 0:13:14.939 --> 0:13:17.619 passer now last week just a hundred and fifty three 0:13:17.699 --> 0:13:21.219 yards a touchdown, an I n T rating under eighty five. 0:13:21.579 --> 0:13:25.099 He missed a big throw to Darnell Mooney. What's it all? 0:13:25.259 --> 0:13:29.539 What part overshot him? He hasn't put up any big 0:13:29.619 --> 0:13:32.699 yardage games recently through the air, but until last week 0:13:32.699 --> 0:13:35.059 he had a nice run of ninety nine plus rating 0:13:35.099 --> 0:13:37.779 games eight touchdowns to two I n T s in 0:13:37.859 --> 0:13:41.459 his last four games. Well can deep come in? Well 0:13:41.499 --> 0:13:46.819 He's got it? Oh call house fifty yard fars touched down. 0:13:47.379 --> 0:13:50.739 Still being throwing the ball isn't his specialty or the Bears, 0:13:50.779 --> 0:13:52.419 it would be odd to see him light up the 0:13:52.499 --> 0:13:55.819 Jets secondary. They remain one of the toughest defenses to 0:13:55.939 --> 0:13:59.819 throw on. Mooney is sort of Chicago's one wide receiver threat. 0:14:00.059 --> 0:14:02.739 New York can shadow him with either of their corners 0:14:02.779 --> 0:14:05.339 and feel good about the match up. We're now through 0:14:05.339 --> 0:14:08.419 eleven weeks in New York. Cornerback DJ Reid is still 0:14:08.459 --> 0:14:12.099 holding quarterbacks to a sub seventy rating Sauce Gardner a 0:14:12.139 --> 0:14:16.779 sub sixty rate Sauce Gardner again on the covers. Jets 0:14:16.779 --> 0:14:19.859 pass rush can make things difficult. This is a sneaky 0:14:19.899 --> 0:14:22.939 match up to Fields knows the grass as well as 0:14:22.979 --> 0:14:26.459 Willie Nelson four more sacks taken last week leads the 0:14:26.539 --> 0:14:30.459 league in getting planted. Here's the theoretical problem for fields. 0:14:30.539 --> 0:14:33.299 New York not only has a high sack total plus 0:14:33.379 --> 0:14:37.539 thirty pressure rate sack six or last week an set 0:14:37.659 --> 0:14:42.139 again Huff Price Huff coming in. They get those sacks 0:14:42.219 --> 0:14:45.179 without blitzing much. The blitz is what opens up some 0:14:45.299 --> 0:14:48.059 of those big fields runs. So you have this super 0:14:48.139 --> 0:14:51.619 intriguing risk matchup. When Chicago has the ball, then you 0:14:51.699 --> 0:14:54.579 get what like hungry, hungry hippos on the other side. 0:14:54.939 --> 0:14:57.259 Just throw some marbles out there and see what happens, 0:14:57.859 --> 0:15:01.819 and look until the running back Ti Johnson. The Jets 0:15:01.859 --> 0:15:05.699 passing attack generated seventy seven in yards last week. Head 0:15:05.739 --> 0:15:09.539 coach Robert Sala compared his offense to ship's creek, sort of. 0:15:09.979 --> 0:15:13.659 His description wasn't as funny and it smells. Zack Wilson 0:15:13.779 --> 0:15:17.179 last week with a fifty point eight rating, basically because 0:15:17.219 --> 0:15:18.899 he signed his name on the top of the s 0:15:19.019 --> 0:15:22.819 A T sheet A little hot here's great for mems. 0:15:23.419 --> 0:15:26.459 So Wilson was sent to the bench. Mike White time. 0:15:26.699 --> 0:15:29.619 He started three games last year. Remember when he threw 0:15:29.699 --> 0:15:33.299 for four hundred and five yards in one game, Member Chewbacca, 0:15:33.579 --> 0:15:36.099 Remember when he also threw four I N T s 0:15:36.179 --> 0:15:38.939 in one game? Remember when the flu was just the flu. 0:15:39.499 --> 0:15:41.939 He doesn't have big shoes to fill. At least Wilson 0:15:42.059 --> 0:15:45.779 averaged three point five yards a throw last week. Bad 0:15:45.939 --> 0:15:49.339 running backs pick up more than that. New York's backs, though, 0:15:49.419 --> 0:15:53.539 can't even claim that nineteen carries by Jets rbs last week, 0:15:53.819 --> 0:15:56.619 no one over two point five a carry. It seems 0:15:56.659 --> 0:15:59.099 like a long time since they've had some positive yards. 0:15:59.139 --> 0:16:02.859 At least that's significant. Pair that with Chicago's run defense 0:16:03.019 --> 0:16:06.939 four point seven or on allowed help here again, tighter 0:16:07.059 --> 0:16:10.659 else here part of a Wilson in the passing offense 0:16:10.739 --> 0:16:14.019 don't have as easy of a matchup. Chicago has played 0:16:14.059 --> 0:16:18.859 the past well enough in two rating allowed twelve to nine, 0:16:18.939 --> 0:16:21.779 t D two I and T ratio and Eddie Jackson 0:16:21.899 --> 0:16:24.339 comes up with a pick. Adam Rank is joined by 0:16:24.499 --> 0:16:27.699 NFL dot Com writer Grant Gordon and picking the Bears. 0:16:27.859 --> 0:16:31.019 The other eight have New York winning. It ever seen 0:16:31.099 --> 0:16:34.739 that Spider Man meme identical Spiderman pointing at each other. 0:16:35.019 --> 0:16:38.179 I know Carolina and Denver's uniforms don't look much alike, 0:16:38.299 --> 0:16:41.579 but you know there's still that shared sense of disappointment. 0:16:41.779 --> 0:16:44.379 So for these two organizations, a season full of injuries, 0:16:44.499 --> 0:16:48.339 blown leads, close losses. Denver leaves their comfy mile high 0:16:48.419 --> 0:16:51.899 confines for Carolina this week. Desperately in need of a win. 0:16:52.019 --> 0:16:55.059 After getting their gut punched by the Raiders in overtime, 0:16:55.379 --> 0:16:59.459 car loads up as it's all bad, walked off, touched 0:16:59.499 --> 0:17:03.859 down a sweep of the Blacks, Las Vegus and say 0:17:03.939 --> 0:17:06.899 what you will, but Carolina is only two wins behind 0:17:07.019 --> 0:17:09.899 Tampa Bay. This win means as much to them as anyone. 0:17:10.259 --> 0:17:13.259 They come in just as cold, though offense only put 0:17:13.379 --> 0:17:18.379 up three points last week. Deflected at intercepted Chason Pierre 0:17:18.539 --> 0:17:21.619 Paul with the pick. So you have a matchup between 0:17:21.659 --> 0:17:25.099 the lowest scoring team in the NFL. Well throws on 0:17:25.179 --> 0:17:29.459 the run and it is taking on the team ranked 0:17:30.339 --> 0:17:33.659 points per game. Let's get ready to bumble. I guess 0:17:33.939 --> 0:17:37.219 Baker in trouble again and he's sacked by Calais Campbell 0:17:37.459 --> 0:17:40.379 in one corner. You have Russell Wilson having the worst 0:17:40.419 --> 0:17:43.539 statistical year of his career. It's like he can't hack 0:17:43.659 --> 0:17:46.939 it in Denver. That's worthy of an injection. Right against 0:17:47.019 --> 0:17:51.899 Las Vegas last week, two thirty seven yards that's not bad, 0:17:52.419 --> 0:17:56.619 but zero touchdowns again, chase and down he goes. Who 0:17:56.659 --> 0:17:59.779 could have seen this coming? Completing less than sixty of 0:17:59.859 --> 0:18:03.899 his passes, only seven touchdowns to five picks, a passer 0:18:03.939 --> 0:18:06.859 ray in the tank. Those are the kind of mistakes 0:18:07.219 --> 0:18:10.499 that Russell Wilson can't make. It's easy to assume that 0:18:10.619 --> 0:18:14.819 if Wilson can find any consistency whatsoever, he could get 0:18:14.859 --> 0:18:18.059 them back on track versus the Panthers. Okay, now let's 0:18:18.099 --> 0:18:21.659 see who we have in the other corner. Sam Donald, Sure, 0:18:21.779 --> 0:18:26.139 why not? Sammy d makes his first start of Refresher 0:18:26.499 --> 0:18:29.059 four and seven for the Panthers last year, one of 0:18:29.139 --> 0:18:32.419 the lowest ratings of any QB at seventy one point nine. 0:18:32.699 --> 0:18:35.579 Maybe Donald gives them a spark the way p J did. 0:18:35.699 --> 0:18:38.939 Though this past Sunday was a microcosm of their issues. 0:18:39.219 --> 0:18:42.219 The Panthers only managed two hundred and five total yards. 0:18:42.459 --> 0:18:44.819 They gave up four sacks, went three for twelve on 0:18:44.979 --> 0:18:49.379 third down, lost a fumble through two picks the sept 0:18:49.979 --> 0:18:54.299 the hun free with a pick Humphree ending the Panthers holps. 0:18:54.939 --> 0:18:57.299 So you've got the team with the fourth fewest passing 0:18:57.379 --> 0:19:01.379 yards set to face the third stingiest pass defense. What 0:19:01.499 --> 0:19:10.059 could possibly go wrong? Allowing less than six yards per attempt? 0:19:10.499 --> 0:19:13.459 Baker is up against it. So what about the Carolina 0:19:13.539 --> 0:19:17.219 secondary Wilson faces not playing at Denver's level, but not 0:19:17.379 --> 0:19:20.979 too shabby. Have held qbs to a ninety rating, holding 0:19:21.059 --> 0:19:25.299 them under seven yards per attempt. Wilson likely avoids J. C. Horne. 0:19:25.739 --> 0:19:28.899 That dude is legit. Let picks off at the thirty seven. 0:19:28.939 --> 0:19:33.059 You say, she horn. How about the run games? Carolina 0:19:33.259 --> 0:19:36.939 sixth worst at stopping the run. Unfortunately for Orange Crush, 0:19:37.019 --> 0:19:40.379 faithful Denver doesn't support a great rush attack bottom ten 0:19:40.459 --> 0:19:43.619 and yards per game, averaging only three point nine yards 0:19:43.699 --> 0:19:47.179 per carry. Panthers have had some success when Deonte Foreman 0:19:47.299 --> 0:19:50.659 is blown up he didn't last week, but Denver's defense 0:19:50.779 --> 0:19:53.659 has allowed a hefty four point seven yards per There's 0:19:53.699 --> 0:19:56.219 just no way to sugarcoat this one as a prep 0:19:56.339 --> 0:19:59.499 for the holidays. This is a regifted fruit loaf going 0:19:59.619 --> 0:20:03.659 up against a pair of socks. Appropriate. Five Broncos votes, 0:20:03.819 --> 0:20:08.379 five Panther's votes. That fits this game. The Arizona Cardinals 0:20:08.459 --> 0:20:10.859 are back at home after a trip south of the border. 0:20:11.019 --> 0:20:13.539 They take on the l A Chargers, who maybe coming 0:20:13.579 --> 0:20:15.779 in after a loss, but they may have at least 0:20:15.939 --> 0:20:20.379 re found their identity. Chargers, They're all been running right away. 0:20:20.539 --> 0:20:24.699 Looks different for those two guys. Welcome back, Welcome back, 0:20:24.819 --> 0:20:28.139 Welcome back. Chargers were playing like sweat hogs without Mr 0:20:28.259 --> 0:20:31.339 Pottery film. With Keenan Allen back on the field. Though 0:20:31.499 --> 0:20:34.899 LA's passing offense finally looked right again, It's not like 0:20:35.019 --> 0:20:38.939 he posted some ridiculous stat line five catches ninety four yards, 0:20:42.019 --> 0:20:46.379 but Allen's presence simply makes everyone around him better, most importantly, 0:20:46.499 --> 0:20:50.139 Justin Herbert. He missed the playmaker the most. Herbert is 0:20:50.179 --> 0:20:52.979 not supposed to be a dinkin dunker. From weeks five 0:20:53.059 --> 0:20:55.859 to ten, his yards per attempt under seven. It was 0:20:56.019 --> 0:20:58.739 under six for the four games prior to last week. 0:20:59.139 --> 0:21:02.339 Then Allen returns nine point three in attempt along with 0:21:02.379 --> 0:21:06.779 two eight yards un in thirteen point two rating, two touchdowns, 0:21:07.579 --> 0:21:14.819 down sucks, down s. Alan didn't have Mike Williams for 0:21:14.939 --> 0:21:18.099 long before he left her Again, Arizona still has another 0:21:18.219 --> 0:21:20.859 white out to contend with, though Josh Palmer was the 0:21:20.939 --> 0:21:23.939 star of their loss. Eight catches a hundred and eight yards, 0:21:24.019 --> 0:21:30.699 two touchdowns, touchdown. The secondary they faced not in good 0:21:30.779 --> 0:21:36.859 shape George Cattle touchstone. Maybe Arizona starting dvs didn't make 0:21:36.899 --> 0:21:39.379 that trick. Anyone who showed up to that game that 0:21:39.499 --> 0:21:42.579 didn't really know a lot about the NFL left thinking 0:21:42.659 --> 0:21:45.659 Jimmy Garoppolo is the best QUB in the history of 0:21:45.739 --> 0:21:49.499 football and that outing wasn't a fluke either. Zona's play 0:21:49.539 --> 0:21:53.819 against the past pretty brutal In two in five, Garoppolo 0:21:53.939 --> 0:21:56.939 pulls it down. A lot of throwing catch touch stole 0:21:57.019 --> 0:22:00.459 that Cardinal's offense wasn't able to keep up in week eleven. 0:22:00.619 --> 0:22:02.899 If they have two in week twelve, who will they 0:22:02.939 --> 0:22:05.459 have at QUB They had to roll with Colt McCoy 0:22:05.539 --> 0:22:08.019 again last week. Can't be mad that they didn't do 0:22:08.179 --> 0:22:10.379 much with him back there. He already got him a 0:22:10.459 --> 0:22:13.659 win to more a question of will Kyler Murray play 0:22:13.979 --> 0:22:16.379 and will he played better than he had prior to 0:22:16.539 --> 0:22:19.419 his injury. He hasn't lit any stash sheets on fire 0:22:19.539 --> 0:22:23.419 this season. Kyler back to pass bouncing around seven seconds. 0:22:24.059 --> 0:22:28.619 Arizona's hopes of picking up win number five seemed to 0:22:28.619 --> 0:22:32.619 be tied to getting Murray back. He has one Murray game. 0:22:32.939 --> 0:22:36.179 DeAndre Hopkins, in turn, has a monster game. He was 0:22:36.219 --> 0:22:38.859 still good for nine catches ninety one yards and their 0:22:38.899 --> 0:22:42.579 blowout loss kidding smars the first step. If they can 0:22:42.619 --> 0:22:45.659 cobble a passing attack together, they would be facing a 0:22:45.779 --> 0:22:49.379 rattled secondary. Chargers allowed three touchdowns no I N T 0:22:49.579 --> 0:22:57.339 s last week a hundred twenty eight rating allows. That, 0:22:57.459 --> 0:23:00.819 of course, was against Patrick Mahomes. Still, l A hasn't 0:23:00.819 --> 0:23:03.779 played the past great this season either, and they've played 0:23:03.819 --> 0:23:07.899 the wrong and even worse. They'll get to the end 0:23:07.979 --> 0:23:11.179 of James was glass side from Murray. Though Arizona has 0:23:11.259 --> 0:23:14.499 one of the least productive rush attacks. Both teams still 0:23:14.579 --> 0:23:18.659 have playoff aspirations, though Arizona's are on thin ice. All 0:23:18.779 --> 0:23:22.219 ten votes from the panel have bolt Up taking this game. 0:23:23.939 --> 0:23:26.699 The l A Rams limped their way east this week. 0:23:26.979 --> 0:23:29.739 These are some challenging times, um, but you can't jump 0:23:29.819 --> 0:23:32.219 off the roller coaster. They draw the Kansas City Chiefs, 0:23:32.259 --> 0:23:34.499 a game that was supposed to be a Sunday Night 0:23:34.539 --> 0:23:38.419 football flex candidate. Well, the Chiefs are still flexing. At 0:23:38.499 --> 0:23:45.219 least it's crossing panel cut Kelsey Townyard touchdo Chansas City 0:23:45.459 --> 0:23:50.179
