Speaker 1: NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. This is NFL Game Previews,
Speaker 1: a breakdown of every Week sixteen game with a recap
Speaker 1: of how our ten person panel voted on the game's
Speaker 1: expected winner. If you've come looking for an analyst, you're
Speaker 1: in the wrong place. I'm just game preview y. We
Speaker 1: start things off with the rumble in the lone Star State.
Speaker 1: There would be less tension on Christmas at the Griswolds
Speaker 1: than there will be for this game. Dallas at home
Speaker 1: having to put aside what might have or should have been?
Speaker 1: What a race ticket? Mad six? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: How good is that? Hosting the number one team in
Speaker 1: the NFL and the team America's team's fan base is
Speaker 1: just waiting to shower with holiday greetings and your number
Speaker 1: one salutes greetings from Jerry World. This was supposed to
Speaker 1: be a cartoon version of the Grinch that stole Christmas
Speaker 1: level match up, but now Jalen Hurts might not play
Speaker 1: and that would throw everything off. He's feeling a little Italian.
Speaker 1: He's very fregil. Don't get me wrong. I love me
Speaker 1: some Uncle Rico and Gardner Minshew can make things interesting.
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew at quarterback, I think show he slights it up.
Speaker 1: He's got a first out of the passcal of more
Speaker 1: all the way up across the flour. He actually played
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia against Dallas last year. It was a good
Speaker 1: game for a quarter and then Dallas destroyed Philly dropped
Speaker 1: a Bob's fifty burger on him. Jeff One Harty, you
Speaker 1: get a touchdown. The thing is Philly still has some
Speaker 1: work to do to quinch home field advantage. They could
Speaker 1: try and lean on the Miles Sanders train. It's zipped
Speaker 1: through most defenses like the Polar Express breaks away at
Speaker 1: the Families tuckdown. Cowboys rush d four point four yards
Speaker 1: per carry allowed to running backs. Gave up seven point
Speaker 1: one yards per carry to Jacksonville a hundred ninety two
Speaker 1: yards total allowed Travis Eaton to hit him for over
Speaker 1: five a carry. Stopping the run not their strong suit.
Speaker 1: E t cuts up the middle with a big run
Speaker 1: et It's got a first down, but it runs his
Speaker 1: way out to the fort Eagles. One defensive vulnerability run
Speaker 1: defense five point to a run allowed to the Bears
Speaker 1: last week. Four point four allowed to David Montgomery four
Speaker 1: point four allowed to running backs this year. That's relevant
Speaker 1: to Dallas's two headed rush monster. Neither Tony Pollard or
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott cracked the four per run barrier versus Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: But Zeke has ten tds averaging four point one a
Speaker 1: Toke goal from the one Elliot. How about you, Zeke
Speaker 1: spin off. We got Pollard five point five a scamper
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. It's a formidable duo three four potto. Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott also comes in off a head scratcher type game
Speaker 1: that O T pick. Maybe you don't force it, but
Speaker 1: the result was a minor Christmas miracles. Prescott did throw
Speaker 1: two I n T s. He countered it with three
Speaker 1: touchdowns two hundred and fifty six yards are rating near
Speaker 1: one ten. Prescott spins away and look at it from
Speaker 1: the Touchscow's top for the touchdown. Dallas needed their best
Speaker 1: players to come up and in that drive, Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: was on him. For what it's worth. Dack's passer rating
Speaker 1: triple digits one week, under eighty, the next, triple digits
Speaker 1: the next game, low nineties the next, followed by triple digits,
Speaker 1: then seventy point one, then last week back to triple digits.
Speaker 1: Just pointing out the pattern Ceedee Lamb, Noah Brown, Tony Poulard,
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. His primary targets. His tight end was quiet
Speaker 1: versus Jacksonville. Brown caught two touchdowns. Though here's a play
Speaker 1: fagon a rollout and Prescott throws it back into the
Speaker 1: middle to knock Brown touchdown. Cowboys c d moved him
Speaker 1: down the field seven catches a hundred and twenties six
Speaker 1: yards cuts back, gets block still color. Those two draw
Speaker 1: Darius Slay and James Bradberry for the first time. Sligh
Speaker 1: holding his guys to a low sixties rating. Bradberry mid
Speaker 1: forties Eagles as a whole, holding Whiteouts to a seventy
Speaker 1: five point six rating. Bunch of scrooges at corner. I
Speaker 1: tell you he lets a sup If Dak tries to
Speaker 1: hold the ball too long, look out, he just held
Speaker 1: it too long. They're just too good up front. He's
Speaker 1: facing the top pass rush in the game. Yes, better
Speaker 1: than his own. They have cracked a sack sixer in
Speaker 1: three straight games. After getting to justin fields a half
Speaker 1: dozen times. Last week, younglings all around hair cup rush
Speaker 1: at a stuck upper six the defunds is rory. It's
Speaker 1: an avalanche of pass rushers when the ball is snapped.
Speaker 1: Five guys have six plus sacks on the year. Javon Hargrave,
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick in Josh sweat to each last week. Look,
Speaker 1: they've done him again. They've got him against Dallas's pass
Speaker 1: rush does rival Philadelphias. They've gone a little Frosty the
Speaker 1: Snowman lately though, just one sack in their last two games.
Speaker 1: Coming rolls away, Stepson has a man. Jones's open, He's
Speaker 1: got it. Michael Parsons did grab the one they had.
Speaker 1: He has thirteen. Now the Cowboys with five guys at
Speaker 1: four plus Laurence pressure right up the middle and he
Speaker 1: is sacked. Michael Parsons gets home. No matter who the
Speaker 1: quarterback for Philly is, they are armed with some nice
Speaker 1: pass catchers, so it's not crazy to think of them
Speaker 1: hanging with Dallas. No matter what A J. Brown last week,
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty one yards hurts once at all
Speaker 1: of J. Brown said stand take him downside. That's en
Speaker 1: Gavante Smith five catches a hundred and twenty six yards
Speaker 1: twenty five yards perk. Hatch hurts over the middle as Smith,
Speaker 1: what's wrong Jnis Smith, who screen bend the Bear's territory.
Speaker 1: One of them ends up with Trey Von Digs rating
Speaker 1: against under ninety grows a deep fall o the left
Speaker 1: side grof up my Digs again, full it own. Dallas,
Speaker 1: though has not been great against whiteouts as a whole.
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had over ninety yards against him in remote
Speaker 1: past of lost Say Jones over a hundred and three scores,
Speaker 1: Cowboys rating allowed to wide receivers in two over ninety
Speaker 1: five deep follow He's got say Jones alone, Joseph feeding
Speaker 1: like a draw six Cowboys votes or for the Eagles
Speaker 1: hurt situation obviously affecting things for some. The Miami Dolphins
Speaker 1: are at home for Christmas, thawing out welcoming the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, still with plenty of motivation to try and
Speaker 1: get another w They might need a defensive performance similar
Speaker 1: to the one they got last week to get a
Speaker 1: fake field half well in complaints. Packers need to run
Speaker 1: the table, but they're still in the game. At least
Speaker 1: their defense needs to handle to a tyreke and waddle
Speaker 1: the way they did. Sagittarius, jefferskin E and Dan Smith
Speaker 1: last week held Baker Mayfield to a hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: yards five point three yards per attempt, a rating under seventy. Ah.
Speaker 1: So that's why Carolina Tutter got ahead. They have to
Speaker 1: go from playing on rookie level to Madden level. Now
Speaker 1: they have to slow two up. He snapped out of
Speaker 1: as many slump last week, impressive because of the magnitude
Speaker 1: of the game and the conditions Tonga vloa over seven
Speaker 1: and a half yards per attempt to t d S
Speaker 1: no I n t S rating over a hundred. Back
Speaker 1: to looking like he has most of the year. The
Speaker 1: middle one open at the forty yard line is Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: and he turns on the speed. Nothing unusual when it
Speaker 1: comes to who he threw two versus the Bills, Cheetah
Speaker 1: and the Penguin both scored first big game from Waddle
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. I mean, an excellent job going
Speaker 1: up high point in this football. You got the Penguin,
Speaker 1: you got the Sita. You're like David Adderbora out here hill.
Speaker 1: You can't really capture him with numbers. Fully, he puts
Speaker 1: up plenty of them, but the attention secondaries have to
Speaker 1: give him the penalties he draws and still is one
Speaker 1: of the one percent who averaged more than a hundred
Speaker 1: yards per game receiving. He's too quick, and he gets
Speaker 1: up the top speeds so fast. Green Bay's upset bid
Speaker 1: would have a much better chance of happening if Jayra
Speaker 1: Alexander can contain Hill. He's the Pack's Numero un cornerback
Speaker 1: and he's lived up to the title. Rating aloud on
Speaker 1: the year under seventies looks intercepted. Alexander's got it. It's
Speaker 1: not like Wattles going to have it easy either, Pack
Speaker 1: holding wide receivers to an eighty nine point seven grading
Speaker 1: this season, nine I n T s on throws to whiteouts,
Speaker 1: only ten touchdowns given up, cities intercepted. Bat'll put the
Speaker 1: way It's key Shan Nixid hackers would love another showing
Speaker 1: from its pass rush like it had versus the Rams.
Speaker 1: Five sacks hit Baker nine times, the thirteen may feel
Speaker 1: feats can Donny goes. Miami has not had too many
Speaker 1: issues keeping two upright, though. Might the Dolphins run game
Speaker 1: factory in Normally it's as hard to spot as Santa
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve, but he most at himself a day
Speaker 1: last week he loves the snow. I guess a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty six yards eight per runs Closter with a
Speaker 1: carry against shitty tackles Tallas sideline. He's got speed and
Speaker 1: Green Bay gave up five point for a carry to
Speaker 1: cam Acres in a week fifteen on the very first
Speaker 1: snap they get the ball to cam Akers and a
Speaker 1: big cats there on that left Hackers are still at
Speaker 1: a disadvantage on defense based on Miami's points per game levels.
Speaker 1: They're a high scoring bunch, Green based defense. Middle of
Speaker 1: the packing scoring Packers offense, though, may have an advantage
Speaker 1: over Miami's d not because they're proficient at scoring, but
Speaker 1: because the Dolphins are very generous to other offenses. Only
Speaker 1: five teams have given up more points per game than
Speaker 1: Miami this season. On the run. Throwing for the insolid
Speaker 1: is to twit tell Morris Josh Allen in the snow
Speaker 1: three hundred four yards allowed four touchdowns a rating near
Speaker 1: one twenty. As I like to say, it fits their
Speaker 1: body of work. For watch looking throws Touchdow. It wasn't
Speaker 1: any one guy they struggled against, and that's good for
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He doesn't have any one guy he likes
Speaker 1: to throw to two hundred twenty nine yards last week
Speaker 1: could touch down a pick a rating of ninety two
Speaker 1: point two. It was good enough to win the game.
Speaker 1: There is Jones bit touch stop. Christian Watson snapped his
Speaker 1: t d run. Rogers just found whoever he could against
Speaker 1: l a Green Bay ran more than they threw. A
Speaker 1: j Dillon scored twice before leaving her stay on the ground.
Speaker 1: Why not dill it pounding his way for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones gave him ninety yards five point three a carry.
Speaker 1: Under rated battors hand off to Jones over the left side,
Speaker 1: good hole got died. Dolphins defense might have some soft spots,
Speaker 1: but stopping running backs is not one of them. Are
Speaker 1: holding that position to a stinge three point eight yards
Speaker 1: per carry. It's a single art he's blown up in
Speaker 1: the backfield. Sex Sailor one lone packer believer NFL dot
Speaker 1: Com writer Grant Gordon. The other nine votes going to
Speaker 1: Miami Houston Texans on the road this week Christmas Eve
Speaker 1: action in an aptly titled a FC South. The Titans
Speaker 1: are the King's there despite losing four in a row. Hey,
Speaker 1: at least we're not the NFC South and I right,
Speaker 1: I got that's not gonna win. Titans need this when
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have won three of their last four and
Speaker 1: are nipping at their heels. So just like in a
Speaker 1: pickup basketball game and you have the six ft four
Speaker 1: guy and everyone on the other team is six foot
Speaker 1: even if it's boring and seems unfair, you give him
Speaker 1: the ball because you can't chance it anymore. As long
Speaker 1: as we get it into Derrick's hands and everybody knows
Speaker 1: the play, that's the most important thing. Derrick Henry and
Speaker 1: Tennessee's first game versus Houston two hundred nineteen yards, six
Speaker 1: point eight per carry, two touchdowns. Yeah, Henry up. Last
Speaker 1: week he hit the Chargers for over a hundred yards,
Speaker 1: his second game in a row, over the century mark.
Speaker 1: If you are a defensive pack in your five eleven
Speaker 1: two hundred five pounds, you don't want to see number
Speaker 1: twenty two coming at you and you gotta stop him.
Speaker 1: Couple all that with Houston's run defense, which still isn't
Speaker 1: any better than it was the first time he saw him.
Speaker 1: Five point one yards per carry allowed to running backs
Speaker 1: in over five yards per carry allowed to every case
Speaker 1: back who ran on them last week. Running Backs in
Speaker 1: need of a good game don't write Santa this time
Speaker 1: of the year. They write the Texans. Ryan Tannehill should
Speaker 1: ride shotgun if things go well for Henry. They're passing
Speaker 1: attack is a little weapons deficient, though Trailan Burke's missed
Speaker 1: another game last week, he's their best pass catcher Without him,
Speaker 1: Tannehill posted a whopping hundred and sixty five yards no
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a pick. Tannehills fires field and the passes. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's not like the Titans are asking him to carry
Speaker 1: the load. That's up to Henry, but Tennessee would still
Speaker 1: like to see him step up in December when every
Speaker 1: game matters. Tannehill wasn't under center when these two teams
Speaker 1: met earlier in the season in Week eight victory for
Speaker 1: the Titans. Malik Willis filled in, so no direct comparisons
Speaker 1: to find there. Speaking of wins, the Texans have just one,
Speaker 1: though it looked like they were headed for another in
Speaker 1: both of the last two weeks. They led the Cowboys
Speaker 1: late in Week fourteen, and they took the Chiefs to
Speaker 1: overtime touchdown. Jordan Naked's the Texas or take the league?
Speaker 1: It feels like this team is playing four. Head coach
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith lately in finding ways to take two double
Speaker 1: digit win teams to the brink, was right, He's gonna
Speaker 1: throw tap field. It's caught by a Marie Rogers touchdown.
Speaker 1: Last week they went with a two QB system. Love it.
Speaker 1: Why not used Davis Mills and Jeff drisk go in tandem. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't a true through two quarterback system, rather
Speaker 1: playing situational football with drist goal and it helped. Okay,
Speaker 1: touchdown David Hills on the road seventeen yards. Nothing to
Speaker 1: see here but ten votes for the Titans. The Washington
Speaker 1: Commanders fly across country this week a twofold challenge to conquer. First,
Speaker 1: clear zebras from your mind that passers more on the
Speaker 1: really cool flag that flew right before that. Later on
Speaker 1: second though, they have to figure out how to score
Speaker 1: enough points on the San Francisco defense to beat them,
Speaker 1: and this number one defense is ruling. I know BCB
Speaker 1: is all the rage in the Bay Area these days,
Speaker 1: but Washington should be more concentrated on how to handle
Speaker 1: the forty niners B d D. It's the combination of
Speaker 1: speed and power from Nick Bosa big d defense. That
Speaker 1: seems repetitive, but what do I know? And their defensive
Speaker 1: showings seem repetitive. Remember when the Chiefs lit them up
Speaker 1: for forty four points. That was Week seven. Since then,
Speaker 1: not one team scored more than seventeen points against them.
Speaker 1: That's seventh straight. No look at that. The forty Niners
Speaker 1: are on a seven game win streak and they are
Speaker 1: the Western Division champions. Washington's offense is usually a run
Speaker 1: first unit, their ball carriers facing among others, Fred Warner
Speaker 1: Dre Greenlaw not sure you can find a better one
Speaker 1: to punch at linebacker. And I know you can't find
Speaker 1: a tougher team to run on in the pursuit and
Speaker 1: that team effort on. This defense never let see down.
Speaker 1: If Washington could have its way, Brian Robinson would scratch
Speaker 1: out like four a run against them. They feed him
Speaker 1: all day. He only got twelve carries versus New York
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards seven point four a run. He started
Speaker 1: the year slow, but his last three games four point
Speaker 1: five per run or better, eighty nine yards per game
Speaker 1: or better. He just will go down touchdown. If they
Speaker 1: can't get anything going on the ground, it could be problematic.
Speaker 1: San Francisco's defense top five and rating allowed yards or
Speaker 1: catch allowed. It's pert tempt allowed, touchdowns allowed, I N
Speaker 1: T Sun touchdown San Francisco pick six passing offense they
Speaker 1: faced this week Kenny Rossmore at quarterback. Sorry Taylor Heineke
Speaker 1: to get them confused with the trio of receivers Terry McLaurin,
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel Johan Dotson. Scary Terry is the focal point
Speaker 1: six catches on six targets seventy yards last week, cracked
Speaker 1: the thousand yard mark for the year. Just get the
Speaker 1: football to your best players. Let him go make plays.
Speaker 1: McLaurin is going to have to work to get open.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have their various word on him. Most routes
Speaker 1: on interception like bony Ward awards two fantastic. His most
Speaker 1: recent outing took on Mr Metcalf. He found out the
Speaker 1: CASA dead. Ward is not like Burger King d K.
Speaker 1: Didn't get to have his way at all. Ward held
Speaker 1: him to fifty five yards on nine targets. Scarious words,
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Dotson is coming off of four catch
Speaker 1: hundred and five yard t d outing and amazing grab
Speaker 1: in there. Just catch up over the top, Samuel three
Speaker 1: catches forty four yards about Yeah, he was the one
Speaker 1: who gave his Giants buddy a piggyback ride. I bet
Speaker 1: that's all it was. You wouldn't throw a flag on
Speaker 1: a guy for giving a piggyback ride, would you? During
Speaker 1: the holidays? This is America still right. As for the forty,
Speaker 1: Niners play versus wide receivers in the Big picture fourth best,
Speaker 1: holding them to an eighty five point six rating, semi
Speaker 1: ward superman dive and an interception. These teams play on
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. That seems like trouble If you're Heineke, means
Speaker 1: he likely gets a visit from St. Nick and here
Speaker 1: comes Bosa. Bosa has fifteen and a half bags filled
Speaker 1: so far this season, filled his latest with the number
Speaker 1: seven Seahawks jersey commanders. Fans, tell your kids no asking
Speaker 1: Santa for Heineken jerseys till after Christmas. Looking for space
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. Pad the Heineken got shook
Speaker 1: up three times versus the Giants, and one of them
Speaker 1: caused the ball to burst out, got run back to
Speaker 1: the House of Bob still didn't start touch stage chants.
Speaker 1: So you have a twenty five ranked scoring offense, trying
Speaker 1: to do business with the number one scoring d You
Speaker 1: know what that spells on the other side of the coin.
Speaker 1: It's a fair fight. Commanders fans know this for all.
Speaker 1: To talk about brock Purty, it's the San Francisco run
Speaker 1: game that sets him up. Commander's defense has to deal
Speaker 1: with a two headed attack as well. CMC the lead
Speaker 1: man McCaffrey scoring last week over a hundred yards back
Speaker 1: to back games. He's hit the rushing century mark, but
Speaker 1: up the middle us to form McCaffery for six. Washington
Speaker 1: can't sleep on Jordan Mason sixty four yards on just
Speaker 1: four carries. He's piling up plenty of really nice runs
Speaker 1: as of late. He's hit at five yards per carry
Speaker 1: or better in four straight games. Keep telling you to
Speaker 1: keep this number in mine. Over these games go on.
Speaker 1: Washington then has to be able to stop running backs
Speaker 1: from running. This week four point one per allowed for
Speaker 1: the year is pretty good. Gave up four eight per
Speaker 1: carry to seek one Barkley last week eighty seven yards
Speaker 1: in the TV. So then you finally get to Mr
Speaker 1: undefeated Purty last week versus Seattle seventeen seventeen yards to
Speaker 1: t d s note picks to fashes and then the
Speaker 1: Kittle over the middle touchstoff San Francisco. He has come
Speaker 1: through with exactly what the forty Niners offense has needed.
Speaker 1: Didn't have debo last week, won again this week. He
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to mind. Washington can't really hone in on
Speaker 1: any one guy from week to week. Purty has mixed
Speaker 1: it up pretty good. Great protection and wine open his
Speaker 1: tittle pitch can't take him down. Nobody else cannons a
Speaker 1: touchdown clearly. Tight end George Kittle has to be accounted for.
Speaker 1: He had been quiet statistically over their last few games
Speaker 1: Week fifteen. He was the difference maker in the past game.
Speaker 1: McCaffrey will always get so many throws a game to
Speaker 1: of course, led the team of eight targets versus Seattle,
Speaker 1: and he likely sees plenty of looks versus Washington. They
Speaker 1: have not played running backs as receivers. Well backs their
Speaker 1: biggest trouble spot, allowing a one rating to them six
Speaker 1: touchdowns by Swift. I'll check him all the way. Okay,
Speaker 1: so real quick, what did Mr Zebra think McLaurin was
Speaker 1: asking him, Hey, you get my d M you want
Speaker 1: to go grab a drink after the game. You've done
Speaker 1: with all your Christmas shopping? Oh yeah, you are thumbs
Speaker 1: up man, great Mary. What the what are called? It
Speaker 1: races the touchdown? It's a clean sweep. The Niners got
Speaker 1: all ten votes from the panel. The New York Giants
Speaker 1: are on the road for Christmas Eve, coming off a
Speaker 1: nail biter that snapped their four game winless Street got
Speaker 1: up my darnay home, and the Giants are on their
Speaker 1: way to getting this one over Washington. They are in
Speaker 1: Minnesota taking on the comeback Kings because when the Chips
Speaker 1: are down, they're like the guy on the commercial, pretty
Speaker 1: clear have come play that the greatest comeback in the
Speaker 1: history up the National Football League. The Vikings are NFC
Speaker 1: nords Chaptiins. Forget the miracle on thirty fourth Street. Vikings
Speaker 1: are cool hanging on thirty third and forget Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: Minnesota has Santa Cousins. It is d J. Hoshinson for
Speaker 1: the two and we're tied at thirties days. Giants defense
Speaker 1: up against a quarterback coming off back to back four
Speaker 1: hundred plus yard passing games, Captain Kurt going for four
Speaker 1: or sixty versus the Colts four touchdowns, came up big
Speaker 1: late when it mattered, which he's actually done more than
Speaker 1: some realize. Seven fourth quarter comebacks this season. Kirt Well
Speaker 1: for the middle time, Yes, that's up forty yard line.
Speaker 1: Adams feeling just came up cold blooded heads toted Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1: New York secondary will be tested on all fronts. They
Speaker 1: have to try and keep Justin Jefferson from having more
Speaker 1: good times. A hundred and twenty three yards in week fifteen,
Speaker 1: averages a hundred and fifteen yards per game most in
Speaker 1: the NFL study's got chip for same touchsdown funny games.
Speaker 1: Then the gene man have to try and cover kJ Osborne.
Speaker 1: He went for over a hundred and fifty yards in
Speaker 1: their comeback when Osborne has been a superstar today funding
Speaker 1: for those ex three yards. Adam Delon he scored in
Speaker 1: three of their last four t J Hawkinson at tight
Speaker 1: end quiet versus the Polts, but nine targets. Cousins throws
Speaker 1: to him a lot, Why would he back off? This week?
Speaker 1: The Giants have allowed a rating over one thirteen to
Speaker 1: tight ends in two. It is called for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: New York has shined versus running backs as past catchers,
Speaker 1: though holding them to an eighty two point to rate
Speaker 1: comes near side of power in the flat. Oh, well
Speaker 1: done on the tackle, he might lose your yard. That's
Speaker 1: relevant because Dalvin Cook was huge out of the backfield
Speaker 1: for the Vikings last week. Was good for ninety five
Speaker 1: yards and a score to get to the left. Yes,
Speaker 1: Cook the runner could also be an issue for the Giants,
Speaker 1: maybe a huge issue. Ninety five yards seventeen runs last week.
Speaker 1: Five point six a carry. Look out for Calvin Cook.
Speaker 1: Turn off the burners, young man the Giants versus running
Speaker 1: backs five point four a run allowed. Let Brian Robinson
Speaker 1: go for seven point four on twelve tries last week.
Speaker 1: Run into the secondary, still going Robinson hard yards in
Speaker 1: the first pat. Then there's the Cavon Thibodeau factor. He
Speaker 1: can blow shut my mouth up. I could hear the
Speaker 1: kid and drafted him from my house during the game
Speaker 1: last week, twelve tackles, three TfL's sack of forced fumble, fumble, recovery,
Speaker 1: house call, defense of beast. Bode got there, got the bar,
Speaker 1: still didn't start touchda Jants TV Giants defense middle of
Speaker 1: the packing points per game allowed facing a Vikings offense
Speaker 1: that's top ten at scoring. It's close to a strength
Speaker 1: versus strength closer than New York's offense versus Minnesota's d
Speaker 1: which is a weakness versus weakness situation on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1: At least the trick for the Giants get a lead
Speaker 1: lean on the run game. Daniel Jones didn't do much
Speaker 1: with his ten runs last week, but sae Juan Barkley
Speaker 1: found some space eighty seven yards four point eight to
Speaker 1: carry a touchdown, got out of the funk he was in.
Speaker 1: Barkley another big right, another button spender. Barkley alive in
Speaker 1: this fourth quarter. The problem with the Giants preferred formula.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is the third hardest team on running backs, holding
Speaker 1: the position to three point eight to run, and he
Speaker 1: is defoward. The Fightings defense comes through once again to
Speaker 1: the red zone. They don't handle Qub's great though five
Speaker 1: point seven to carry to them along the ground, and
Speaker 1: they don't typically play Cutie's arms well either, but they
Speaker 1: did handle Matt Ryan at least. Oh Interplate want to
Speaker 1: play Dot silly coming down hill. The g Men aren't
Speaker 1: a prolific passing outfit. DJ only a hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: yards last week. No touchdowns, no interceptions. They threw thirty
Speaker 1: two times, and sae Quan is typically someone he throws
Speaker 1: too plenty. The Vikings have allowed a ninety nine point
Speaker 1: two rating to running backs. As pass catchers, they've struggled
Speaker 1: with that position more than any other. They dump it
Speaker 1: down to Taylor room and let Taylor go to Wark.
Speaker 1: Three votes for the g Men to take it. Seven
Speaker 1: went to Minnesota. The Steelers are at home with heavy
Speaker 1: hearts this week. They welcomed the Raiders to town fifty
Speaker 1: years after one of the most iconic plays in NFL history.
Speaker 1: Rest in Peace. Franco Bath broken up by up, up
Speaker 1: by talking to go. We'll grab a five backs like
Speaker 1: how appropriate? The Silver and Black stroll in off a
Speaker 1: win inspired by Harris's amazing touchdown. Just picked off a
Speaker 1: Tama jokes it breaks away to the side for real.
Speaker 1: This might be one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: The Raiders winners of four of their last five, including
Speaker 1: two and overtime. Vegas keeps finding ways to win, due
Speaker 1: in large part to minor miracles and the legs of
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. To hand off the middle of Jacobs in
Speaker 1: the Hormid field breaks away from a tackle forty five
Speaker 1: and brought down at the fourty q yard line. The
Speaker 1: league's leading rusher isn't just piling up yardage. He's doing
Speaker 1: it while averaging over five yards a carry and route
Speaker 1: to eleven scores with seven runs of more than twenty yards.
Speaker 1: He's a threat to do some damage every time he
Speaker 1: touches the ball. In fact, in Raiders wins, Jacob's average
Speaker 1: is a hundred and forty three yards on the ground. Jacobs,
Speaker 1: that's the first time of the hole touchdowns. Jacobs doesn't
Speaker 1: again in losses less than eighty. Correlation doesn't equal casualty,
Speaker 1: but still, it's no secret Jacob's success equals black hole success.
Speaker 1: Jacob's running roos right up. Jacobs is on this way.
Speaker 1: The Ers are gonna win this game. Four point two
Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's what Pittsburgh allows to running backs.
Speaker 1: You can interpret it how you want. They just held
Speaker 1: the Panthers to twenty one yards on sixteen carries, a
Speaker 1: paltry one point three yards per rush. Winning this battle
Speaker 1: could be key to winning the game anywhere. Passing games,
Speaker 1: Steelers offer a mixed bag on defense. They haven't played
Speaker 1: the past terribly respectable rating allowed, low completion percentage allowed.
Speaker 1: Marioder from his end throws a v accepted turn to
Speaker 1: the five yard line and getting out of bombs. He's
Speaker 1: make up Fitzpatrick and that seals it deal. But they're
Speaker 1: dead lasting yards per catch allowed, have given up the
Speaker 1: second most passing t d S Presser coming. He'll slip
Speaker 1: it underneath my call. Pruitt stretches out, did he break
Speaker 1: the plane? He did? Unbelievable. They're taking on a car
Speaker 1: with dirt in the gas line, though Derek has ended
Speaker 1: his last three games with sub ninety ratings. To quit
Speaker 1: anticipating Dugger whops in what I just tell you? This
Speaker 1: guy wears dumber. Four will give you one eats his
Speaker 1: gifted you a pick in six, expects. Davante Adams also
Speaker 1: slumping a bit. He's coming off back to back man games.
Speaker 1: Just twenty eight yards last week. Car firing gunfield looking
Speaker 1: for Adams off his hands. Car does have Darren Waller
Speaker 1: at his disposal again, three catches forty eight yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown in his return and from injury touchdown Warmer
Speaker 1: welcome back. Sounds like Kenny Pickett will get the nod
Speaker 1: at QB. This week. He was making improvements week by
Speaker 1: week before he got hurt. Looking the other way throwing touchdown,
Speaker 1: he faces a raider's past defense. That's either the real deal.
Speaker 1: They only allowed a whopping one d and twelve yards
Speaker 1: last week three point six per attempt, tires one far
Speaker 1: near sideline one for one while all the way from
Speaker 1: aglar to the turf one. Absolutely, they were like a
Speaker 1: Tim Allen, Santa Claus or Richard Attenborough if you're o G.
Speaker 1: They dominated mac Jones. Jones shot cut, stop writer's lake
Speaker 1: pressure hit him from a hot as he throws it
Speaker 1: out to the right. That's incomplete. Normally though, they played
Speaker 1: the past like a Billy Bob Thornton Santa. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, He's great to watch, but you don't want
Speaker 1: your kids sitting on his laps. Have three chances to
Speaker 1: bring it down had he stepped through a whole three tackles.
Speaker 1: Oakland will have to stop Nagi Harris as well. The
Speaker 1: numbers haven't been eye popping for the Pittsburgh back, but
Speaker 1: he had an okay game against the Panthers with eighty
Speaker 1: six yards and a score. Nag Stiff Hard gets to
Speaker 1: the five Stiff harn Is way into the end zone
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown, and the Raiders did just
Speaker 1: allow two hundred and twenty six yards rushing at seven
Speaker 1: point one to carry against New England. Gift to Steve,
Speaker 1: what's it? Wins it to the rest of good five
Speaker 1: five big NFL dot Com writer Nick Shook and m
Speaker 1: J d and only two to pick Vegas. Eight votes
Speaker 1: went to Pittsburgh. The Arizona Cardinals get to spend Christmas
Speaker 1: at home, but on the field they play the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers, losers of three of their last four, two
Speaker 1: games under five hundred, still in first place. The NFC
Speaker 1: South is like the Jelly of the Month club. It's
Speaker 1: the gift that keeps on given. If you're a forty
Speaker 1: five year old Tom Brady hard right right, art right,
Speaker 1: right right, hard. So here's Tampa Bay playing a four
Speaker 1: win air Zona team who may be starting a third
Speaker 1: stringer at quarterback. If this isn't the moment of truth
Speaker 1: for fire the Cannons, they can't handle the truth, and
Speaker 1: I that's not gonna win first thing on their honeydew list. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess Brady doesn't have those anymore. But nevertheless, fix
Speaker 1: the offense, and there is no better defense to work
Speaker 1: on your ow than Arizona's. Bucks have to move the
Speaker 1: ball in key situations this week four for twelve on
Speaker 1: third down. Last week TB twelve and company have struggled
Speaker 1: all year at moving the sticks there. Below average in
Speaker 1: the red zone the Bucks twenty eight and points per
Speaker 1: game the third and eight, Oh my goodness intercepted. Those
Speaker 1: are the three numbers that tell the story. They're the problem,
Speaker 1: along with an O line so beat up Brady doesn't
Speaker 1: trust it. Brady, Evans, and Godwin all have stats, fantasy stats.
Speaker 1: Regurgitating them is pointless at the moment. The only variance
Speaker 1: in the offense from last week Russell Gauge eight catches,
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards, two touchdowns. Finally, a game that's sort
Speaker 1: of fulfilled what he was supposed to bring to the
Speaker 1: team was left look at bows the ball toward the end,
Speaker 1: caught ball. Tough stoppa by whistle games. If they can't
Speaker 1: show signs of life versus Arizona, then making the dance.
Speaker 1: Maybe pointless. Cardinals defense on third down, no defense worse
Speaker 1: in the red zone. No team has given up more
Speaker 1: points per game. Merry Christmas, Tampa should you decide to
Speaker 1: do something with this gift ripping for the end zone touch.
Speaker 1: Cardinals don't have a ton of sacks in two, but
Speaker 1: they're coming off their best pass rush performance shared a
Speaker 1: sack six or plus one kilt lifter. Probably J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt pitched in extra since he had three of them.
Speaker 1: He's been home nine and a half times this season.
Speaker 1: Ripping in the balls out that is a fumble football.
Speaker 1: Who else's J J. Watt? Arizona's past defense all so
Speaker 1: one of the worst in two rating against nine side
Speaker 1: for retta target for a first out of jury tudy.
Speaker 1: There is a However, the Cardinals corners haven't been bad.
Speaker 1: Arizona has held wide receivers to an eighty seven point
Speaker 1: eight rate this season. Jones down the sideline and in
Speaker 1: complete for agal gets up looking for a flag, but
Speaker 1: good coverage by the rookie Christian Matthew. Want to run
Speaker 1: at them, you can do that too, Not that Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay runs all that often, but Arizona has allowed four
Speaker 1: point eight to run to running backs. There's very little
Speaker 1: they've done right without the ball. Of course, the Cardinals
Speaker 1: haven't done much right with the ball either, and now
Speaker 1: it might be time for Maddie Fresh to get a start.
Speaker 1: Bolton McCoy left last week's game with a concussion, so
Speaker 1: in came the third man in line. If you don't know,
Speaker 1: if they say you can't touch his gate ball every
Speaker 1: game he's scoring, he's your favorite quarterback. They call him
Speaker 1: Trace McSorley, that's what they say. The tape and box
Speaker 1: score from last week says he threw two I N
Speaker 1: T s at a rating of seven point eight. Or
Speaker 1: maybe Colton McCoy is clear to play. He also threw
Speaker 1: a pick before he got hurt last week forty nine
Speaker 1: point three raiding, Oh the choices McCoy. Hi Bucks defense
Speaker 1: comes off a tale of two halves. They played Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow well for two quarters, then gave up four TV
Speaker 1: passes to him in the second half. That's a touchdown fire.
Speaker 1: The Cannons gets the sweep from the panel. All ten
Speaker 1: going Bucks. The Atlanta Falcons still alive in the race
Speaker 1: for the NFC South Crown. On the road for a
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve Battle of the Birds this week, off to Baltimore,
Speaker 1: and if anyone is looking for any last minute Christmas
Speaker 1: gift ideas for the flock, they have one they'd like
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson their quarterback. They'd like him brought from his
Speaker 1: happy slumber on Melody Lane with all the other wealthy people.
Speaker 1: They want him right there on the field with a
Speaker 1: big red ribbon on his head along with a helmet. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Only crap, where's the tyle? And all? You look that? Bro?
Speaker 1: You like that? Good news, Ravens fans. Sounds like cousin
Speaker 1: Eddie is on the way with Jackson's He's supposedly gonna
Speaker 1: be ready for this game. He can't get back out
Speaker 1: there soon enough. No offense Tyler Huntley, but the lack
Speaker 1: of production from the qv spot came to a head
Speaker 1: last week in Baltimore's loss to Cleveland. Third and town
Speaker 1: again quick throw and and intercepted. If they get Jackson
Speaker 1: back and he's healthy enough to do his thing, order
Speaker 1: might be restored with their offense. J K. Dobbins and
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards have both looked good two weeks in a row.
Speaker 1: Dobbin's coming in off back to back a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty plus rush yard games, but to the right side
Speaker 1: double pumps Lunes touched down. Gus coming in off back
Speaker 1: to back fifty plus yard games. Hitting at five plus
Speaker 1: yards per carry, any checking up pulled the big tackle
Speaker 1: from the back side and as you told there for
Speaker 1: gus words, how is Atlanta's defense fared against backs? Four
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry? Aloud in two that's like
Speaker 1: getting socks on Christmas as a twelve year old. It's
Speaker 1: a present, but not really. Harris purst down trip trying
Speaker 1: to stay on his feet and out about if Lamar
Speaker 1: is healthy. Falcons have his legs to worry about as well.
Speaker 1: They've only faced one QB like him this season. Justin
Speaker 1: Fields held him to four point seven yards per run.
Speaker 1: He's averaged over seven, so they handled him pretty good.
Speaker 1: That the short side he goes Montgomery and friend great
Speaker 1: playboy Anderson Jackson wouldn't be facing a stout defense when
Speaker 1: he lets it fly in three three touchdowns allowed to
Speaker 1: the Saint snow Picks twelve point two yards per attempt allowed.
Speaker 1: Falcons rating allowed for the year ninety seven point one
Speaker 1: hasn't been a strength of there is in twenty two
Speaker 1: snap the West and throws to the end zone and
Speaker 1: that is gonna be a touchdown. How many points do
Speaker 1: the Ravens need to score to come out on top
Speaker 1: the Falcons offense is up a against one of the
Speaker 1: hottest defenses, going caught up a little bit there with
Speaker 1: Chuck Clark incidental context. I believe that's a good note call.
Speaker 1: Baltimore only gave up thirteen points last week, fourteen or
Speaker 1: fewer points given up in five of their last six games.
Speaker 1: As fakes it to Chubb and he runs out of
Speaker 1: time he flips up. However, for a loss to Woods,
Speaker 1: their play against the pass is really stuck out, and
Speaker 1: now they take on Desmond. Ritter have to hope he
Speaker 1: can produce more than he did in his first NFL
Speaker 1: start nine seven yards fifty nine point three rating. Longest
Speaker 1: completion of the day was fourteen yards acts and another
Speaker 1: teeth shot. Ritter can't find a receiver. He knows he's
Speaker 1: not playing golf right lower is not better. He averaged
Speaker 1: three point seven yards per attempt. Their ground game averaged
Speaker 1: five point nine a run, begging the question why did
Speaker 1: they even bother trying to pass to Patter So that
Speaker 1: was nearly taken away by Taylor. Ravens most recent showing
Speaker 1: versus a quarterback held Deshaun watsonto five point eight yards
Speaker 1: or attempt only a hundred and sixty one yards. Their
Speaker 1: dB core is healthy now makes them a tough group
Speaker 1: to travel the skies against Watson throwing at to Coopers
Speaker 1: full of free on the coverage. So it would seem
Speaker 1: the Falcons run game is still their best shot at
Speaker 1: pulling an upset. It's carried them to a few wins
Speaker 1: this season. Last week it kept them in the game.
Speaker 1: They ran a thirty nine times two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: one yards, five point nine yards per carry, two touchdown,
Speaker 1: whitecock out chair, He's been the man on this drive
Speaker 1: and he catches in with a touchdown. Whiteclout to Patterson
Speaker 1: on the cut on the head into the ends. All
Speaker 1: the Ravens versus Nick Chubb in week fifteen nine yards
Speaker 1: allowed four point seven a run the big three trunks
Speaker 1: for legs. It's really really tough to bring him down.
Speaker 1: Ravens versus running backs in one of the best versus
Speaker 1: that position, the three point eight aloud third down one,
Speaker 1: and they tried to run the room. There you can
Speaker 1: see the avalanche no I'm a play. All ten votes
Speaker 1: went to the Purple Bird. Ravens flocked the pick for
Speaker 1: the panel. The Chicago Bears are at home for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Eve bash with the visiting Buffalo Bills, who are fighting
Speaker 1: to keep home field advantage heading into the playoffs. Pressure
Speaker 1: coming in some trouble dancing around Daddy goes baens out
Speaker 1: if a polar Express like snowstorm couldn't stop Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: How are the Bears supposed to Alan and their win
Speaker 1: over Miami last week with the elements swirling over three
Speaker 1: hundred yards for t d s no picks vintage performance.
Speaker 1: Good lord, this guy's got armed talent dripping out of
Speaker 1: every pore of his potty. Bears are getting Alan coming
Speaker 1: off an m v P type game. He also ran
Speaker 1: for seventy seven yards on ten attempts. Alan. With room
Speaker 1: to run, Alan headed for the sideline, Josh Allen chugging
Speaker 1: down the sideline up Look at Allen go finally pulped
Speaker 1: down Chicago just face to dual threat type in Jalen hurts.
Speaker 1: They gave up three touchdowns to him. One a nice
Speaker 1: easy twenty two yard walk in the park. You left
Speaker 1: the middle of the field completely open. However, he ran
Speaker 1: seventeen times sixty one yards, which equals just three point
Speaker 1: six yards per carry. Kyler Gordon has having a really
Speaker 1: nice first half year. They meant Jack Sandler are doing
Speaker 1: a great job on these quarterback runs. The past defense
Speaker 1: Alan faces not too bad. Picked off Hurts two times
Speaker 1: without allowing a touchdown, holding him to a sixty four
Speaker 1: point six rate. They're holding QB's to a low nineties
Speaker 1: rate overall. They straddles does that's Alan shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: worry about getting planted too often. Bears don't spend too
Speaker 1: much time in the garden. Chicago secondary gets a stefan
Speaker 1: who hasn't been digging it much lately, only could pull
Speaker 1: in five of his nine targets last week sixty yards
Speaker 1: or fewer back to back games. The star receiver for
Speaker 1: Buffalo and their epic win was tight end Dawson Knox.
Speaker 1: Six catches, ninety eight yards and a touchdown. He's scored
Speaker 1: in back to back games. That was incredible. Bills are
Speaker 1: top five and scoring so far, stacked against a Bears
Speaker 1: defense that is bottom five and scoring even last week.
Speaker 1: They did some things right, but still gave up twenty
Speaker 1: five standing take him downside. That's en Bears offense below
Speaker 1: the average line and scoring facing a Buffalo defense that
Speaker 1: makes the Grinch's top five list. That's standard operated procedure. Right,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be all over you. The task for the
Speaker 1: Bills this week starts with stopping the run. Chicago has
Speaker 1: the league's leader in yards per carry justin fields last
Speaker 1: week six point three or run fifteen carries ninety five yards.
Speaker 1: He's the best running QB in the game this season.
Speaker 1: Superman does it again. The only guy the Bills have
Speaker 1: played like fields this year Lamar Jackson, and he got
Speaker 1: him pretty good along the ground. Gave up seventy three
Speaker 1: yards to him on eleven. Troy Eyes checks it, Fears
Speaker 1: cuts it inside for a first sound. Buffalo also won
Speaker 1: that game, so you know, maybe David Montgomery gives him
Speaker 1: some trouble. He scored on Philadelphia twelve carries fifty three
Speaker 1: yards four point four a run back to Montgomery Ny
Speaker 1: for the Bears touched out and the Bills just got
Speaker 1: blasted by running backs. They gave up a huge run
Speaker 1: to Rahem Mostert, gave up a hundred and eighty eight
Speaker 1: yards on seven point five a carry to the Dolphins
Speaker 1: on the ground and most still on his feet dragging
Speaker 1: Bills inside the head that fields the passer. Not bad
Speaker 1: last week to TDS, no picks a rating just under one,
Speaker 1: only twenty one throws, but he did well with the
Speaker 1: few he had. It's pressure here, Field says, a lighted
Speaker 1: up and pring along to Jena touchdown. He was up
Speaker 1: against an elite past defense too, and he will be
Speaker 1: again this week. It's the bill strength top ten and
Speaker 1: rating aloud. I n he's yards per tempt allowed. I'll
Speaker 1: thrown a little behind if just two. I had to
Speaker 1: cut that thing loose with presser right in his face.
Speaker 1: And like we warned last week, when Fields drops back,
Speaker 1: good chance. He ends up watching half baked ended last
Speaker 1: week smelling the grass six times he's permise sacked at
Speaker 1: this point. Second sack for ja von Hargrave. Bears get
Speaker 1: their one vote from Adam Rank and other nine votes
Speaker 1: to buffle. The Carolina Panthers are at home for Christmas Eve,
Speaker 1: taking on what might be the hottest team in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Detroit's head coach probably very happy to think of his
Speaker 1: Lions squad as damage inc they went home to get dead.
Speaker 1: Beer didn't think the Lions could put up enough points
Speaker 1: on the Jets elite defense to win, or that Jared
Speaker 1: Goff could perform on the road. Well, you probably don't
Speaker 1: believe in Santa anymore either. That's on you. The Raymonds
Speaker 1: still going. Raymond could take it all the way. The
Speaker 1: vernal he's in touts down and electrifying. The Lions roar
Speaker 1: into the game feeling like there isn't a team they
Speaker 1: can't be. The Pride might not have known what to
Speaker 1: expect versus in New York, but because of that showing
Speaker 1: and the panthers most recent outing, Detroit rolls into this
Speaker 1: game with bigger expectations than routing on Christmas Morning. A
Speaker 1: lot of these close games were starting to lean more
Speaker 1: towards us in the hour towards them. I mean, that
Speaker 1: hasn't always been a chase around here. And Jared Goff
Speaker 1: rolls in off a fine outing. I know, eight eight
Speaker 1: point nine ratings, six point six yards per attempt, only
Speaker 1: one touchdown don't sound spectacular, but on the road against
Speaker 1: the top three secondary pretty gossam Golf's gonna throw it
Speaker 1: crock right with it to the thirty, Crock right twenty five,
Speaker 1: crock right twenty cut back in the ten to five touchdown,
Speaker 1: Detroit glon. Well, my Goff had to work for what
Speaker 1: he got last week. Wasn't able to do much with
Speaker 1: guys like DJ Chart, Jamison Williams, but aman Ross st
Speaker 1: Brown scratched out seventy six yards on seven catches. He's
Speaker 1: been goffs go to most games. Se st Brown did
Speaker 1: that against elite cornerbacks. Has to do it again this week.
Speaker 1: He gets J. C. Horne this time around dominant in
Speaker 1: week fifteen, nothing different. He's the reason Caroline has held
Speaker 1: white Outs to a sub ninety rating this year. Field
Speaker 1: picked off by j. Horn. Might the Lions lean a
Speaker 1: little extra on their running backs? Hinkle mcfringleberry has been
Speaker 1: a t D machine. Jamal Williams having to hold the
Speaker 1: hips and check after that flag a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: a shame. I say it's the Shakira, the hips don't like.
Speaker 1: What's something and DeAndre Swift gave him fifty two yards
Speaker 1: on eight carries. Last week Swift thirty cuts it back
Speaker 1: and gets to their thirty two guardline. The Panthers run defense.
Speaker 1: They did hold Pittsburgh a three point five a run
Speaker 1: on a fat forty five attempts. Panther defense looks to
Speaker 1: be stiffening a little bit up front, but no, that
Speaker 1: was one of their better showings versus ball carriers versus
Speaker 1: running backs. This year, they've surrendered four point six or run.
Speaker 1: They're doing what they want, and they're doing it at will.
Speaker 1: The Panther's own run game seems to be the key
Speaker 1: to their chances of winning. Sixteen tries along the ground
Speaker 1: in week fifteen, twenty one yards only one point three
Speaker 1: a trive that's forte format, and he doesn't get very
Speaker 1: far at all. Carolina's wins have all come when their
Speaker 1: Russia attack has led the way, so Detroit is hoping
Speaker 1: for a Week fifteen repeat performance from its defense. They
Speaker 1: held New York to two point three a run, twenty
Speaker 1: two carries, only fifty yards given up on the ground,
Speaker 1: and again the Jets unable to run the football. In
Speaker 1: the passing game, Detroit faces Sam Donald, another nice game
Speaker 1: manager outing from him last week two twenty five yards,
Speaker 1: a touchdown, no picks, rating of a hundred eight point one.
Speaker 1: He mostly throws to DJ Moore, six targets, five catches,
Speaker 1: seventy three yards and a touchdown versus the Steelers. Donald
Speaker 1: on the boot throws and zone. It's called that's a touchdown,
Speaker 1: d J Moore call it. Detroit secondary remains hot ish.
Speaker 1: They gave up were three hundred yards to Zach Wilson
Speaker 1: gave up some really big chunk plays also picked him
Speaker 1: off though, and held him to a sub ninety rating.
Speaker 1: Not many qbs have broke the ninety barrier against them recently.
Speaker 1: Got all kinds of time, got a beat out there,
Speaker 1: picked off on the lines though, coming back right side.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jacob. A nice job, Jerry jack The Lions are
Speaker 1: well over the thirty line when it comes to blitzing.
Speaker 1: It helped him bag Wilson four times. Wilson steps up.
Speaker 1: That Wilson is buried in mixfield fulk Wara Donald he
Speaker 1: got planted four times by the Steelers that he's down
Speaker 1: for the Colleen Wolf and Daniel Jeremiah both take Carolina.
Speaker 1: The other eight pickers took Detroit. The Indianapolis Colts are
Speaker 1: back at home from Monday Night football this week after
Speaker 1: getting to literally experience a nightmare before Christmas and the
Speaker 1: kick It's Girls. They welcome in the l A Chargers,
Speaker 1: who have worked their way back into the playoff picture
Speaker 1: out of the whole of the picker. He's courts are
Speaker 1: facing a couple of dudes who get the pretty clutch
Speaker 1: badge of honor. Dicker the kicker, and Justin Herbert Herbert
Speaker 1: taking the Chargers fifty two yards in six plays to
Speaker 1: set that field goal, up dots and crunch time, first
Speaker 1: coming Herbert Aluch the rush girls on the run. Herbert
Speaker 1: had to put aside the fact he threw no touchdowns
Speaker 1: and two ion t s against a Tennessee defense that
Speaker 1: hasn't played the past all that great, so he doesn't
Speaker 1: come in off an entirely great game, though one of
Speaker 1: his I and t s was an early Christmas miracle.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like volleyball when people who don't know
Speaker 1: how to play catch the ball and throw it to
Speaker 1: somebody else. Still, all that won't stop Herbert and company
Speaker 1: from leading the way this week. Keenan Allen, Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: Joshua Palmer, Gerald Everett, Austin Ekeler. He has lots of options.
Speaker 1: They're a passing outfit. Alan is the centerpiece. Nine targets,
Speaker 1: eight catches eighty six yards last week, eighty six plus
Speaker 1: in three straight. He's like death by a thousand paper cuts.
Speaker 1: He's got Williams four catches sixty seven yards in week fifteen.
Speaker 1: He's had solid to good games and three of his
Speaker 1: last four outings has time fires. Hey, the Colts just
Speaker 1: faced a team with three good whiteouts last week, Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins throwing to them. They were just like pumpkin jack.
Speaker 1: At first it was going great, darks acepted, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be taken in for a touchdown. Then artillery shot
Speaker 1: after artillery shot started flying by. The Chargers are facing
Speaker 1: a defense that gave up over four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: yards to Kirk Cousins four touchdowns. They gave up almost
Speaker 1: a hundred yards to a running back. Two different receivers
Speaker 1: went for over a hundred and twenty yards against him
Speaker 1: in the most historic collapse the game has ever seen.
Speaker 1: Set up the screen with Alvin Cook and let Up
Speaker 1: chew up the yards. It's touch l A's defense is
Speaker 1: facing a Matt Ryan who has to forget he now
Speaker 1: holds a record combo that no one will probably ever break.
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and regular season, biggest old school homer, Matt
Speaker 1: at bart jobs in the history of the game. Steps up,
Speaker 1: goes down, football cups out. Jonathan Taylor, the one major
Speaker 1: offensive threat on the team, sprained his ankle to start
Speaker 1: the game. Doctors could clear him, but if I were him,
Speaker 1: I'd go no, it's it's really sprain still. It might
Speaker 1: even be broken. You can't see it. I'm super serial. No,
Speaker 1: he's hurt that ankle a few times, so so Zack
Speaker 1: Mosston Jackson. Those guys can try and do something in
Speaker 1: his stead. Zack Moss will bust through the middle to
Speaker 1: pick up eleven on first down. The ground game, with
Speaker 1: or without Taylor is the way to stay tight with
Speaker 1: l A. They start each week as the easiest team
Speaker 1: for running backs to run on, and they stay there
Speaker 1: after the week is over. Derrick Henry the latest to
Speaker 1: take advantage of him five point five a run to
Speaker 1: running backs in Derrick Henry takes the snap right up
Speaker 1: the middle. Henry piston Chargers past defense Ryan Faces has
Speaker 1: been rounding in the form. They held the Titans passing
Speaker 1: game to minimal production, and they've held quarterbacks and the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position to ninety radios had a hill steps
Speaker 1: up clicking deep from MCMA and it is in a
Speaker 1: state Sante Samuel go get Michael Pittman. Ryan threw at
Speaker 1: him fourteen times. Versus Minnesota Colts passing attack tends to
Speaker 1: be a one man show. Ryan tough one caught by
Speaker 1: pitt bolt up with a sweep of the Panels picks
Speaker 1: no Colts believers. The Seattle Seahawks are on the road
Speaker 1: for Christmas Eve in Kansas City to take on the
Speaker 1: Chief's Club, still vying for home field advantage come playoff time.
Speaker 1: Brown a plot, a plot, the Demonsulver Tuchtown run, then
Speaker 1: the Chiefs of one Chief's Kingdom. We got to win
Speaker 1: last week, no one got hurt. We'll take it. But
Speaker 1: now they're back to banning future from being played in
Speaker 1: the locker room for another week. Context he's one of
Speaker 1: the kings of trap. Kansas City just avoided falling in
Speaker 1: one versus Houston. Missed an extra point, missed a field goal,
Speaker 1: ten penalties for a hundred yards right out the line,
Speaker 1: and the ball lose to fumble on the playoffs or
Speaker 1: the hit by Mario Addison. It's a funk up for
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That's why Patrick Mahomes was seen sitting on
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith's lap late in the game for Christmas Santa,
Speaker 1: can you please make sure we win this game. His
Speaker 1: name is Lovey and he has that badass beard. It's
Speaker 1: all I need I believe. But it wasn't. Mahomes fault.
Speaker 1: The game was so close. Vintage pat take that Mrs
Speaker 1: mahomest on thirty six yards over eight per attempt to
Speaker 1: t d s note picks rating over one. Mahomes easily outside,
Speaker 1: but Chunning dropped by Tulse and that is a tuxtown
Speaker 1: that Seattle has to be able to handle all three
Speaker 1: types of pass catcher. Mahomes has been using them all lately.
Speaker 1: Starts with tight end Travis Kelsey, another hundred yard game
Speaker 1: for him versus the Texans. Kelsey's just so good with
Speaker 1: the football after he catches it. The yards after cats
Speaker 1: are phenomenal. Juju Smith Schuster is the lead receiver ten targets,
Speaker 1: ten catches, eighty eight yards and his most recent showing
Speaker 1: the connection between these two all days has been impressive,
Speaker 1: and now the Homes is working in a running back
Speaker 1: on a regular basis That doesn't seem fair. Jerick McKinnon
Speaker 1: versus Houston eight catches, eight targets, seventy yards, a touchdown
Speaker 1: back to back games. He's played a significant role in
Speaker 1: their passing attack. It's off to McKinnon the catch and run.
Speaker 1: Seattle's past defense took on brock Party and Week fifteen
Speaker 1: didn't give up major yards to him, but no picks,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns allowed, rating allowed over one and then the
Speaker 1: kettle over the middle touchdown San Francisco. Seattle hasn't been
Speaker 1: horrible versus the pass overall. They have to play the
Speaker 1: tight end well this week, obviously, which they haven't done
Speaker 1: in two one. Ten point four rating allowed, eight touchdowns
Speaker 1: given up protection and wide openers kittle roaming free. They
Speaker 1: are much tougher on white House. They've got good corners,
Speaker 1: holding w rs to an eighty six rating seven I
Speaker 1: n team for the roll little a hundred point nine
Speaker 1: rating allowed to running backs as receivers for the record
Speaker 1: not great, and they actually have to be able to
Speaker 1: stop running backs running. Chiefs hit Houston with thirty three
Speaker 1: rush attempts, a hundred and eighty nine yards, five point
Speaker 1: seven a run, two touchdowns, check, go, pick, turn hold.
Speaker 1: He bullets his way into Texan territory at the forty
Speaker 1: six Fox run defense struggled to contain the forty niners.
Speaker 1: They gave up a hundred and seventy two yards to
Speaker 1: CMC and Jordan Mason over five yards per carry allowed.
Speaker 1: They've given up four point seven a run to running
Speaker 1: backs overall, give it to McCaffrey, give it a huge toll,
Speaker 1: got a pick up that was Kansas City is first
Speaker 1: end points per game on offense. Seattle's defense twenty nine
Speaker 1: in scoring d so they might need a little something
Speaker 1: extra from their own offense, which is facing the middle
Speaker 1: of the pack defense when it comes to scoring and
Speaker 1: who score a top ten scoring offense themselves. Problem for
Speaker 1: Geno Smith can he keep the offense moving without Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 1: He broke his hands, so he's out for a while.
Speaker 1: So d K may really have it his way this week,
Speaker 1: and that's what by Metcalf fact to back Metcalf could
Speaker 1: be in for a target feast without lock It on
Speaker 1: the field. D K had a quiet week fifteen with
Speaker 1: there various word on him just fifty five yards seven catches.
Speaker 1: Lock It's absence this week also means Marquise Goodwin and
Speaker 1: Tighten no offense should see a few extra looks. Goodwin
Speaker 1: was a non factor versus San Francisco. Fant was the
Speaker 1: only Hawk able to find the end zone against for
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Smith had to settle for lots of short
Speaker 1: stuff versus the forty Niners. He didn't throw any picks
Speaker 1: at least thirty eight yards and a touchdown, use his
Speaker 1: legs strength to pull out of that potential sack and
Speaker 1: then keeps his vision down field. Gino was up against
Speaker 1: an elite secondary. He isn't this week. Yes, Kansas City
Speaker 1: handled Houston's pass game, which has eroded to the point
Speaker 1: they used two guys throughout the game. So facing the
Speaker 1: Christmas with the Cranks version of NFL passing attacks, it
Speaker 1: doesn't change the body of work, which is very Santa
Speaker 1: at the beach and a speed up looks downfield, looking deep,
Speaker 1: fires at his cock. Dicks makes the cat. Metcalf is
Speaker 1: going against the group that's allowed a hundred two point
Speaker 1: six rating to wide receivers, nineteen touchdowns allowed to the position.
Speaker 1: Chiefs another blitz Jots throwing deep down the right side
Speaker 1: for Gave Davis makes the cat to the five touchdown
Speaker 1: Buffalo not great versus tight ends either, ninety eight point
Speaker 1: one rating allowed, seventy d s. Jimmy back, Jimmy Gonna
Speaker 1: throw up the end zone. George Cattle tuck it away
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs get something from their front. They only
Speaker 1: picked up one sack and week fifteen, Smith is looking
Speaker 1: at a team that doesn't produce major pressure or blitz
Speaker 1: at a high rate, but they do make at home
Speaker 1: to see Grandma. On the regular top ten and sacks down,
Speaker 1: he goes a safety. Gino took three sacks last week.
Speaker 1: That forty Niners defense is good. I guess second and
Speaker 1: he goes. And that was with a quick pass approach
Speaker 1: to try and mitigate that pass rush. The Hawks run
Speaker 1: game hasn't been a factor for him in a while,
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker having another sub four yard for carry game.
Speaker 1: Four straight games he's finished with less than fifty yards rushing.
Speaker 1: Look at their fauncy up and blood beat tackle red
Speaker 1: chalk across the board. Ten picks for k C. The
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints are in Cleveland for a Christmas Eve
Speaker 1: till just one win behind the division leader last justin
Speaker 1: Everett's poput that broadly well bit. They get the Browns,
Speaker 1: winners of three of their last four games, now bad
Speaker 1: again path. Look between the seventh playoff spot and no
Speaker 1: one wanting to wear the NFC South crown. This game
Speaker 1: has a lot writing on it, regardless of the records.
Speaker 1: Saints offense Andy Dalton last week eleven and seventeen close
Speaker 1: to nine yards per attempt to td s No I
Speaker 1: n T s are rating over one thirty. Smart with
Speaker 1: the chances he had pressure coming, Tom gets rid of.
Speaker 1: It is cart and it is John Johnson again. Now
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill got in on the action as well. Sixty
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown and he's gonna take a team shot
Speaker 1: and he's got the seat. City tell us some hell
Speaker 1: Ton Ricky touchdown SATs. Those two are facing a defense
Speaker 1: that's also been very scrooge like lately. Brown's held Baltimore
Speaker 1: to three points last week. Sure that was versus a
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley led offense, but they've held teams to seventeen
Speaker 1: or fewer and three of their last four and it
Speaker 1: is intercepted. It's intercepted into the r So Denzel Lord,
Speaker 1: it's been like six games since the Brown secondary really
Speaker 1: got torched by a QB. They've held signal callers to
Speaker 1: a ninety point five rating in two from weeks eleven
Speaker 1: to fifteen, seventy eight point two over the middle, and
Speaker 1: Senzel Lord almost had a second of the night. The
Speaker 1: Saints passing attack is mainly fueled by wide outs. Crystal
Speaker 1: Lave wasn't the most targeted guy last week, but most games.
Speaker 1: He is fats it out there and he's got him
Speaker 1: leveland overall hasn't handled wide receivers well. Ninety eight point
Speaker 1: four rating. Allowed fourteen touchdowns to that position to touchdown.
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett will try to help. He's gonna feel like
Speaker 1: Ralphie this week. He wants a red rifle BB gun
Speaker 1: for Christmas. In this case, one and a half sacks.
Speaker 1: Last move back, Miles Garrett comes up bigs just like
Speaker 1: he always does against the Ravens. Dalton only got sacked
Speaker 1: a couple of times for Atlanta. Their pass rush doesn't
Speaker 1: have a Garret on it, though, Browns also have to
Speaker 1: contend with Alvin Kamara. He snapped out of his slump
Speaker 1: with a couple of nice runs versus the Falcons. Twenty
Speaker 1: one carries ninety one yards four point three a Johnt
Speaker 1: solid based on his recent production. It's camarad It come
Speaker 1: out at the first. Mara could play a big role
Speaker 1: this week to Cleveland. Didn't handle Gus Edwards or j K.
Speaker 1: Dobbins well at all. Gave up a Santa waistline seven
Speaker 1: plus yards per carry to each. They've allowed five point
Speaker 1: for a run to the running back position. Dobbins is
Speaker 1: free Dophins trying to find that poke away spid In
Speaker 1: the end. Both teams are very much mid and scoring
Speaker 1: defense and scoring offense. I mean Deshaun Watson got the
Speaker 1: win versus Baltimore threw a touchdown no picks rating wasn't
Speaker 1: under ninety Watson throwing it surveying he gets it to
Speaker 1: people's jones touchdown Cleveland Browns. He also only three for
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty one yards on a Piddley five
Speaker 1: point eight per attempt. Dog Pound keeps thinking they're sitting
Speaker 1: down to watch Christmas Story, and they keep getting Christmas
Speaker 1: Story two, the straight to DVD version from the early
Speaker 1: two thousands from Watson, flips up in complete sat secondary.
Speaker 1: They had the week off in Week fifteen. It was
Speaker 1: their Christmas break, I guess, I mean sure they played
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter held him under a hundred yards fifty nine
Speaker 1: point three rating three point seven and attempt three point seven.
Speaker 1: An attempt is getting Aunt Bethany's lime Jello for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Hardly counts him to play. Marcus may have the coverage
Speaker 1: on the side at the test for him this week
Speaker 1: will be how they handle a Marie Cooper and Donovan
Speaker 1: People's Jones. New Orleans hasn't played white outs well either,
Speaker 1: in two rating allowed to that position a hundred plus.
Speaker 1: No Marshawn Lattimore hasn't helped for London. They cut up
Speaker 1: together and it's a first out again. Give credit to
Speaker 1: a Lante Taylor, though he's been playing well lately. New
Speaker 1: Orleans playing to pass are in recent weeks. We don't
Speaker 1: look at for one day and Taylor stepped in again.
Speaker 1: That is two pass breakups from the rookie Alante Taylor.
Speaker 1: If Week fifteen was any indicator, it's the run game
Speaker 1: where things could tilt Cleveland's way. The Saints gave up
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty nine yards to Tyler all Year
Speaker 1: eight point to a run handed off on third down
Speaker 1: at thirteen at cheers. Gonna pick it up again. Now
Speaker 1: they're up against Nick Chubb nine yards four point seven
Speaker 1: yards per carry in his most recent outing, third most
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game in the NFL eight plus and
Speaker 1: three of his last four big tree trunks for legs.
Speaker 1: It's really, really tough to bring him down. Nine picks
Speaker 1: for the Browns only, NFL dot Com writer Kevin Patra
Speaker 1: siding with the Saints. The New England Patriots are at
Speaker 1: home Christmas Eve after getting a giant lump of coal
Speaker 1: in their stocking. Came in the form of a call
Speaker 1: no fan would be happy about if it was their
Speaker 1: own team. After doing to play the ruling on the
Speaker 1: fields fans of Pole, followed by the big w t
Speaker 1: F what the football just happened? Moment of two. Oh
Speaker 1: it's picked off? Oh go leave the ball? Wow Tchaddler
Speaker 1: Jones takes it in and wins the game for the Rainers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's just like your opinion, man. Now they have
Speaker 1: to collect themselves to face the Bengals, who are most
Speaker 1: definitely in Frank the tank territory. Now, honey, I think
Speaker 1: KFC is still open it closer? Well touch sound six
Speaker 1: say for the closer. Six straight wins, eight of their
Speaker 1: last nine. Joe Burrow kind of dinked and dunked his
Speaker 1: way to their latest victory. Only two hundred yards, just
Speaker 1: five point one yards per attempt, not one pass over
Speaker 1: twenty yards, yet four touchdowns are rating over a hundred.
Speaker 1: Showed he's versatiles right, therefore mixing today able to wiggle
Speaker 1: pass David and pick up the first town. Hey you
Speaker 1: know Joe Burrow and Jamaar Chase went to college together.
Speaker 1: You know Tom Brady was taken a hundred ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Did you know that Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard. Burrow
Speaker 1: to chases where it starts for them. He scored again
Speaker 1: last week. That's chase and that's a touchdown, and there
Speaker 1: it is. He doesn't come in blazing though, thirteen targets,
Speaker 1: seven catches, sixty yards and the Patriots just held Davanta
Speaker 1: Adams to four catches on nine targets only twenty eight yards.
Speaker 1: And look at the makeup speed by Marcus Jones that
Speaker 1: catch up to Davante Adams to make a nice pass
Speaker 1: break up. Burrow will have Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins
Speaker 1: as well. Both scored versus Tampa Bay and it's caught.
Speaker 1: My point, Biggles take the lead to the back of
Speaker 1: the Higgins with the touchdown. They face a past defense
Speaker 1: that's held wide receivers to an eighty seven point one
Speaker 1: rating in that's top ten off touchdown Caldugger. Patriots could
Speaker 1: hope to create a splash play with their pass rush.
Speaker 1: Matt Judon and Josh cha both have double digit sacks
Speaker 1: car take him down josh O Jay the rating a
Speaker 1: FC Defensive Player of the Week. Borrow, though is no
Speaker 1: longer easy to get to two or fewer sacks taken
Speaker 1: in six straight games Reserve, there are no sacks here.
Speaker 1: Jim Burton nine finds up that was really the offensive line.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's run game comes in fresh. It barely factored in
Speaker 1: their win over the Bucks, and for what it's worth,
Speaker 1: the Pats are one of the toughest teams on running backs,
Speaker 1: holding them to three point nine yards per carry, held
Speaker 1: the NFL's rushing leader to four point to a run
Speaker 1: long Ny bringing the hammer Josh Jacobs. I can hear
Speaker 1: that all the way up here. New England's defense is
Speaker 1: a top ten unit in points per game allowed, Bengals
Speaker 1: a top ten scoring offense, but Cincinnati's defense isn't too
Speaker 1: shabby either. In New England's offense is just playing old
Speaker 1: shabby at times. Whatever I'm going with it. The Orange
Speaker 1: guys are strong versus the pass and the run, only
Speaker 1: allowing four yards per carry to running backs in and
Speaker 1: that's clawed up, give up just one. They have shut
Speaker 1: down some guys in recent weeks, like Derrick Henry Nick Chubb.
Speaker 1: That's relevant because New England ran the ball thirty two
Speaker 1: times last week and the lead man in their attack
Speaker 1: is a back, Romondre Stevenson. How much can we talk
Speaker 1: about his importance to this Patriots offense? For more? Stevenson
Speaker 1: nineteen carries versus Vegas, a hundred and seventy two yards,
Speaker 1: nine point one yards per run, and a touchdown. Stevenson
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas takes it in to get no way
Speaker 1: with the lead of thirty four yard run career day
Speaker 1: that will only be remembered for one thing. I know
Speaker 1: what Bill said afterward, but we have a better job
Speaker 1: plant situational football and not making critical mistakes. And again,
Speaker 1: I just wish we had a Belichick translator like Obama
Speaker 1: did on the Key and Peel Show. You guys play
Speaker 1: the role in the common section. What does he really mean?
Speaker 1: Another mistake on the play and a stake. Bengals past
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be tough for Mac Jones to crack. First,
Speaker 1: he just faced one of the worst secondaries in the
Speaker 1: game this season. He only threw for a hundred and
Speaker 1: twelve yards fifty two point one rating three point six
Speaker 1: yards per attempt. Left Pats fans feeling like Ralphie and
Speaker 1: the Bunny suit back Jones to the quarter of the
Speaker 1: all out of the reach. Look Smith, there needs to
Speaker 1: be a little more touch on that football. And now
Speaker 1: Mac gets the Bengals. They live on the opposite side
Speaker 1: of the passing defense spectrum compared to the defense Jones
Speaker 1: just faced picked off TV twelve a couple of times
Speaker 1: eighty one point five rating against in two and they've
Speaker 1: played all three pass catcher types to a rate of
Speaker 1: ninety or lower. Has knocked down reaching around as Flowers,
Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf taking a chance on New England. The other
Speaker 1: nine voters going Cincinnati Ram's house. Remember one season, Remember Reagan?
Speaker 1: Remember a d Remember Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup. Oh
Speaker 1: you remember that was fantastic. Somebody on the chest. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's gonna be a lot. That's Broncos country.
Speaker 1: Remember John Elway, Member Peyton Anning, Member Daegoba. That's where
Speaker 1: Yoda lives. Member Yoda, let's go stet the toe. The
Speaker 1: better question might be Member Mark Rippon. He had a kid, Brett.
Speaker 1: He led the Bronchos to a win last week. He
Speaker 1: did it while getting sacked seven times. He still went
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty six and ninety five rating and a
Speaker 1: touchdown ripping for the end Zono touchdo Troncos top Jalen
Speaker 1: Ramsey likely spends a lot of time with Rippon's top target,
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy Week fourteen. Judy had a t D hat
Speaker 1: trick Week fifteen eight targets, seven catches seventy six yards
Speaker 1: side for right on target for a first out at
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy. Bronchos run game coming in healthy Lettavius Murray
Speaker 1: versus Arizona a hundred and thirty yards five point four
Speaker 1: a carry and a touchdown Murray. So they're go touchdowns
Speaker 1: Murray and buying that kind of production with their defense,
Speaker 1: and they could get win number five. Why not? They
Speaker 1: don't have a first rounder next year anyway. Long and
Speaker 1: the short of it, the Bronchos D isn't the reason
Speaker 1: they have four wins, third fewest points per game allowed.
Speaker 1: They held a backup qb led offense to fifteen points
Speaker 1: last week. Set it. He's gonna check it to the house. No,
Speaker 1: he won't. Sevens. Now they face another backup with a
Speaker 1: number of backup pass catchers and backup alignman. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: went from Christmas story to the abomination that was Christmas
Speaker 1: story too. Maybe don't practice this week? Versus Green Bay
Speaker 1: in a second game with l a hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: yards only five point three yards of her attempt a
Speaker 1: touchdown to pick A sixty seven point eight ratings may fail.
Speaker 1: Got a hit top by Douglas and now he faces
Speaker 1: an even better secondary than the one he faced last week.
Speaker 1: So why not load up on Cam? There's an opening
Speaker 1: acres twelve carries, sixty five yards five point four a
Speaker 1: run versus the pack. On the very first snap, they
Speaker 1: get the ball to Cam Makers and a big gas
Speaker 1: there on that left side. Broncos allowing four point five
Speaker 1: yards per carry to running back Connor bounces off his
Speaker 1: old man and James Conner is going to get a
Speaker 1: first out. NFL dot Com writer's Nick Shook and Kevin
Speaker 1: Patra sticking with Denver's defense. The other eight votes went
Speaker 1: for the home team. NFL Game Debut is a production
