Wait, we're talking playoffs. It's 0:00:11.059 --> 0:00:14.819 only week sixteen. Buffalo bills off for a rumble in 0:00:14.859 --> 0:00:18.859 the jungle on Monday Night Football appropriate. This has lots 0:00:18.899 --> 0:00:21.419 of all the foreman vibes to it. I got a 0:00:21.459 --> 0:00:25.219 job to do, don't do it. Three time out swift, 0:00:25.419 --> 0:00:27.259 they get in field goal ranks, They're gonna kick and 0:00:27.259 --> 0:00:29.379 we might get it back. Don't don't take a breath. 0:00:30.579 --> 0:00:34.099 Check this out. Bills and bangs. Both offenses top five 0:00:34.139 --> 0:00:36.659 and points per game and on third down, caught at 0:00:36.659 --> 0:00:39.339 the five by Hayden Herst driving toward the end zone, 0:00:39.539 --> 0:00:43.259 extended the ball, touchdown and John and he gives it 0:00:43.339 --> 0:00:45.939 to Josh keeping himself and he drives forward and he 0:00:46.059 --> 0:00:52.579 is in not stop. Both defenses top ten preventing points 0:00:52.579 --> 0:00:59.499 in two rocket collapsing. He's dropped in the endo. He 0:00:59.619 --> 0:01:03.139 lost the ball. Both offenses built around the past, primarily 0:01:03.539 --> 0:01:07.339 Joe Burrow Josh Allen, both top five and passing yards 0:01:07.579 --> 0:01:10.819 top five and TV passes this season both top ten 0:01:10.859 --> 0:01:13.499 and rating. Fires into the end zone and it is caught. 0:01:13.899 --> 0:01:17.579 Cape Davis throws a slant Higgins with the catch, Hey 0:01:17.619 --> 0:01:22.259 breaks the tackle. It's tens the ball touchdown. Each guy 0:01:22.339 --> 0:01:26.859 equipped with white out excellence Stefon Diggs, Jamaar Chase both 0:01:26.899 --> 0:01:29.899 top five and receiving yards per game this year. Borrow, 0:01:29.979 --> 0:01:32.819 looking his throw caught by Chase, heads for the end 0:01:32.899 --> 0:01:37.539 zone touchdown, runs to his right, throws it down field 0:01:37.539 --> 0:01:40.459 looking for Diggs. Dig stops and he makes the catch 0:01:40.499 --> 0:01:43.059 and he's at the end of the past defenses. Each 0:01:43.139 --> 0:01:46.859 faces top ten and rating aloud. Top ten us KED 0:01:47.019 --> 0:01:50.899 passes allowed, Germaine Pratts. We'll bring down, Travis Kelsey. The 0:01:51.099 --> 0:01:53.579 ball comes out, Let then goes have it, throw it 0:01:53.659 --> 0:01:55.979 towards the end zone and the pass is broken up 0:01:55.979 --> 0:01:58.939 and complete. Both pass rushes are missing a key part, 0:01:59.019 --> 0:02:01.499 but both have a guy that can get home. Gregor 0:02:01.699 --> 0:02:05.059 So on one side, Trey hendrickson on the other. Each 0:02:05.059 --> 0:02:08.459 team's fresher rate near thirty. Neither team blitz as much 0:02:08.499 --> 0:02:10.179 to do it either, and he looking to throw, He's 0:02:10.179 --> 0:02:13.499 a trouble Wills. It's got football comes out and the 0:02:13.539 --> 0:02:19.899 Bengals grabbit. Neither team is known for its run game, 0:02:19.939 --> 0:02:23.579 but Devin Singletary James Cook on Buffalo side Joe mixing 0:02:23.659 --> 0:02:27.179 on Cincinnati side. Can all make an impact and all 0:02:27.259 --> 0:02:30.259 did last week singletary singletary with a whole of the 0:02:30.379 --> 0:02:37.339 Meddal five touchdown Buffalo Cook. Here's Cook to the ten 0:02:37.619 --> 0:02:40.139 to the five to the end. So it's a hand 0:02:40.139 --> 0:02:42.739 off to mix it cuts it to the outside and 0:02:42.899 --> 0:02:46.179 mix it turns off the speed each team's run defense 0:02:46.419 --> 0:02:49.899 versus running backs. They both allow four point three yards 0:02:49.979 --> 0:02:53.939 per carry. Even more similarities, Allen and Burrow both have 0:02:53.979 --> 0:02:57.339 had good twos, but both have had some slip ups 0:02:57.339 --> 0:02:59.739 coming down the stretch. Alan at two I n T 0:02:59.979 --> 0:03:03.139 game last week rating of seventy one point two. He's 0:03:03.179 --> 0:03:05.699 had a sub ninety eight three of his last five, 0:03:06.339 --> 0:03:11.579 lots of times, Burrow four I and T s in 0:03:11.619 --> 0:03:16.339 his last three games. Intercept that neither team has lost 0:03:16.459 --> 0:03:18.819 though because of it, Bills are on the six game 0:03:18.899 --> 0:03:22.219 run droll God this man for that touchdown that is 0:03:22.299 --> 0:03:27.899 though knocks spangles on a seven game wins catch made 0:03:28.779 --> 0:03:31.659 te ys. There's just no point in going too deep 0:03:31.699 --> 0:03:33.899 with these two teams right now? What else would I 0:03:33.939 --> 0:03:35.539 have to say when they meet up again in a 0:03:35.539 --> 0:03:38.379 few weeks. Only two of the ten on the panel 0:03:38.419 --> 0:03:41.939 picked the Bills, Colleen Wolf and Kevin Patra, who are 0:03:42.019 --> 0:03:44.579 second and third in the standings. For what It's worth, 0:03:44.979 --> 0:03:48.259 Number one is Eric edelm He and the rest went Cincinnati. 0:03:48.659 --> 0:03:51.659 The Minnesota Vikings take to the road for New Year's Day. 0:03:51.779 --> 0:03:56.459 Skull faithful hoping the clock striking midnight Ono doesn't mean 0:03:56.499 --> 0:04:03.939 that very Godmother Lady comes knocking. Cheese heads want to 0:04:03.979 --> 0:04:06.539 make the dance. It's going to be vital. Their defense 0:04:06.659 --> 0:04:09.659 this week keeps up what they've been doing lately. Green 0:04:09.699 --> 0:04:12.499 Bays on a three game win streak, twenty or fewer 0:04:12.539 --> 0:04:15.339 points allowed in each game. But how about the Packers 0:04:15.419 --> 0:04:19.099 day standing tall today? They would also love to steal 0:04:19.139 --> 0:04:21.619 a ball or two from Minnesota's offense. They took it 0:04:21.699 --> 0:04:25.659 from Miami's four times last week, eight in their last three. 0:04:25.859 --> 0:04:29.379 Oh that once next that I n t one of three. 0:04:29.459 --> 0:04:31.939 Their defense came up with versus two a last week, 0:04:31.979 --> 0:04:35.379 held him to an eight point eight rating, second of thirteen. 0:04:37.579 --> 0:04:40.819 Cambell Now, their secondary did get dinged along the way 0:04:40.899 --> 0:04:44.099 Tongua Voloa through for over twelve yards per attempt over 0:04:44.139 --> 0:04:46.619 three hundred yards, and they had a lot of issues 0:04:46.659 --> 0:04:49.379 staying with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. They gave up 0:04:49.419 --> 0:04:52.219 over a hundred yards to each some big ones too. 0:04:52.499 --> 0:04:56.019 Wattle with the speed takes it inside the thirty keeps 0:04:56.059 --> 0:05:01.539 on good. What's still my mobbie? Now here comes JJ 0:05:01.899 --> 0:05:04.939 not the outer banks dude. Justin jeff for seven hundred 0:05:04.979 --> 0:05:09.219 thirty plus yards last week three straight with plus seventeen 0:05:09.299 --> 0:05:12.499 hundred plus on the year, now more receptions than anyone 0:05:12.819 --> 0:05:18.539 eight gritties Jeffson. Justin Jeffers said, how often will he 0:05:18.659 --> 0:05:21.899 see Jaire Alexander in front of him? He was involved 0:05:21.899 --> 0:05:24.899 in four turnovers versus Miami, one of them a pick. 0:05:25.219 --> 0:05:27.899 As a sub seventy rating allowed for the year five 0:05:27.979 --> 0:05:30.939 I n t s. Here's the thing. Though Jayre wasn't 0:05:30.979 --> 0:05:34.379 tagged for major yardage by Hill or Wattle, he wasn't 0:05:34.379 --> 0:05:36.939 tagged for much of anything. In Week one when the 0:05:37.059 --> 0:05:39.859 j J Show launched, he went for a hundred and 0:05:39.859 --> 0:05:42.619 eighty four yards and two scorers. Hole is he that 0:05:42.739 --> 0:05:47.419 blind open? Jefferson again inside the tunnel and the adze 0:05:48.099 --> 0:05:52.779 Ston Minnesota won that game twenty three to seven. That's 0:05:52.819 --> 0:05:57.579 the problem. Jefferson can start from anywhere, Alexander doesn't always follow. 0:05:57.859 --> 0:06:01.339 In Week one, he was rarely covering Jefferson. Their safeties 0:06:01.379 --> 0:06:04.579 have to play Jefferson well too, or he would hit 0:06:04.619 --> 0:06:07.539 them like Miami's duo did that. Jill and Waddle beating 0:06:07.619 --> 0:06:10.979 Russe Soul Douglas for first style. Pack will be challenged 0:06:11.019 --> 0:06:13.299 at the tight end spot too. They've allowed one of 0:06:13.299 --> 0:06:15.819 the highest ratings to the position at a hundred ten 0:06:15.939 --> 0:06:19.339 point to t. J. Hawkinson is the number two option 0:06:19.419 --> 0:06:22.379 for Kirk Cousins. Now he's turned into what the top 0:06:22.459 --> 0:06:25.699 five guy at the spot. Thirteen catches, a hundred nine 0:06:25.779 --> 0:06:31.099 yards two touchdowns last week, Studs for Hacket said that, 0:06:32.179 --> 0:06:35.299 and yeah, Mr Dripp follows back to back four hundred 0:06:35.299 --> 0:06:38.259 plus yard games with two hundred ninety nine yards, three 0:06:38.299 --> 0:06:41.779 t d s, a rating near one ten, and more heroics. 0:06:42.139 --> 0:06:46.939 Here comes the house for the Giants presents, Jeffrey said, 0:06:47.299 --> 0:06:49.419 most of the time, we'd be talking about a a 0:06:49.619 --> 0:06:52.739 ron on those terms. Rogers isn't worried about his numbers. 0:06:52.739 --> 0:06:55.739 Though they weren't shiny last week, they're not on the year. 0:06:56.059 --> 0:06:58.259 He just wants a chance to do the Humpty dance 0:06:58.299 --> 0:07:00.859 in a few weeks. He's got that resume, so we 0:07:00.899 --> 0:07:03.659 know it's possible Rogers to the end zone has a 0:07:03.779 --> 0:07:08.059 love Alfred Marsies Louis. He faces a subpar secondary list 0:07:08.099 --> 0:07:10.819 week to ninety three plus rating allowed on the year. 0:07:11.059 --> 0:07:13.819 They gave up three hundred thirty four yards to Daniel 0:07:13.899 --> 0:07:17.339 Jones not a verbal type of the Vikings gave up 0:07:17.379 --> 0:07:20.819 three hundred and thirty four yards to DJ Daniel Charles 0:07:20.819 --> 0:07:24.899 look at four and so on touchdown Isaiah Hodgens. They 0:07:24.939 --> 0:07:27.419 also gave up six a run to say Juan Barkley 0:07:27.459 --> 0:07:31.099 on the brown Packs backs were quiet versus Miami. Neither 0:07:31.139 --> 0:07:33.939 guy even had forty yards, which brings us back to 0:07:33.979 --> 0:07:37.779 Minnesota's offense and Dalvin Cook sixty four yards four point 0:07:37.859 --> 0:07:40.699 six a run last week four point three or better 0:07:40.979 --> 0:07:43.699 three of his last four god for govin Cook home 0:07:43.779 --> 0:07:47.099 on turn out the Burgners you're mad attack allowing five 0:07:47.139 --> 0:07:51.459 a run to running backs in two that's rough. Six 0:07:51.459 --> 0:07:53.979 out of the ten votes went to green Bay, only 0:07:54.059 --> 0:07:57.619 four to Minnesota. A lot of a Rod believers, it's 0:07:57.619 --> 0:07:59.939 a game so good they had to flex for it. 0:08:00.059 --> 0:08:03.219 Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of four of their last five games, 0:08:03.259 --> 0:08:05.419 now back in the play off picture because of it 0:08:05.739 --> 0:08:08.819 getting in the ring with the Baltimore Ravens again, winners 0:08:08.819 --> 0:08:14.459 of seven of their last nine fully touchdown one five J. K. Dobbins. 0:08:14.819 --> 0:08:16.819 These two are fun to watch beat up on each 0:08:16.819 --> 0:08:19.779 other when the game isn't important to grab the popcorn then, 0:08:19.819 --> 0:08:23.459 because this one is to both teams, and appropriately enough, 0:08:23.539 --> 0:08:26.099 it appears we will be settling in for a good 0:08:26.099 --> 0:08:30.259 old fashioned defensive slobber knocker. Steelers have held their opponents 0:08:30.259 --> 0:08:33.219 to seventeen or fewer points five games in a row. 0:08:33.379 --> 0:08:36.339 Big Fellow was there once again to bring it down Ravens. 0:08:36.419 --> 0:08:39.379 Only one team has managed more than fourteen against them 0:08:39.379 --> 0:08:41.779 in their last seven, and they rushed. They have bad 0:08:41.819 --> 0:08:45.499 intentions they could keep that run alive. Being Pittsburgh's offenses 0:08:45.579 --> 0:08:48.539 twenty nine and scoring spent three of the four quarters 0:08:48.619 --> 0:08:51.139 last week with just three points, and they were not 0:08:51.259 --> 0:08:54.779 facing a good defense picked off five per of Pittsburgh's 0:08:54.779 --> 0:08:57.979 primary running back Nag Harris, is under four yards per 0:08:58.019 --> 0:09:01.819 carry for the year, thanks Oline Ravens defense holding backs 0:09:01.819 --> 0:09:05.379 to three point eight to run dry understand not like 0:09:05.499 --> 0:09:08.619 that at all. Steelers have a rookie quarterback learning on 0:09:08.659 --> 0:09:11.539 the job. The Ravens have held quarterbacks to a sub 0:09:11.619 --> 0:09:14.819 ninety rate and have a hefty forty four sacks they 0:09:15.019 --> 0:09:18.299 come Bowser blew it up. What terrible towels have to 0:09:18.379 --> 0:09:21.659 hope that final drive from last week carries over to 0:09:21.779 --> 0:09:27.619 this week. Over the middle such down starts. Kenny Pickett 0:09:27.659 --> 0:09:30.219 wasn't all bad versus Las Vegas, and his play has 0:09:30.259 --> 0:09:32.819 been better the second half of the year. He used 0:09:32.819 --> 0:09:35.819 all three types of pass catcher in Week sixteen, five 0:09:35.819 --> 0:09:39.259 plus targets to wide receivers George Pickens and Deonte Johnson 0:09:39.739 --> 0:09:45.299 almost at interception. Instead, it's a bit take five plus 0:09:45.339 --> 0:09:48.019 targets to Harris out of the backfield and to tight 0:09:48.099 --> 0:09:50.459 end Pat Friar Muth. No one had more than a 0:09:50.499 --> 0:09:55.499 hundred yards, but all had forty plus the Ravens they're 0:09:55.539 --> 0:09:58.219 hoping to get Lamar Jackson back. At this point, though, 0:09:58.259 --> 0:10:00.579 I feel like a guy being pulled over, getting tricked 0:10:00.619 --> 0:10:03.499 into saying me ow ten times. How many times can 0:10:03.539 --> 0:10:06.539 we get game preview guy to say Lamar's back this week? 0:10:06.819 --> 0:10:09.739 It's gotten old either way. It's the Ravens run game 0:10:09.779 --> 0:10:12.339 that Pittsburgh will be most focused on. They have a 0:10:12.379 --> 0:10:16.499 three headed attack regardless of who the QB is. J K. Dobbins, 0:10:16.539 --> 0:10:19.419 Gus Edwards, Tyler Huntley. They went for a hundred and 0:10:19.419 --> 0:10:22.659 eighty four yards combined last week, and when Baltimore beat 0:10:22.699 --> 0:10:26.379 Pittsburgh sixteen to fourteen a few weeks ago without Lamar, 0:10:26.819 --> 0:10:30.059 that trio dropped two hundred plus yards on the Steelers 0:10:30.779 --> 0:10:35.259 first forty four yards by Jotton's. Pittsburgh will point to 0:10:35.299 --> 0:10:38.019 the fact that since that loss, they've shored some things 0:10:38.099 --> 0:10:41.059 up along the ground. Last two games, they've locked up 0:10:41.059 --> 0:10:44.419 opposing backs. Heeled Josh Jacobs to two point nine yards 0:10:44.419 --> 0:10:47.899 per carry last week. AT's off to Jacobs and he's 0:10:47.939 --> 0:10:53.059 taken down by t J. Pittsburgh's pass defense comes in 0:10:53.099 --> 0:10:55.259 off a three I N T game, but who knows 0:10:55.299 --> 0:10:57.859 how many past attempts we see in this one. This 0:10:57.939 --> 0:11:03.059 has Tom Jerry Dwight, Jim al Bundy, Marcy vibes to it. Okay, 0:11:03.139 --> 0:11:06.659 maybe they haven't reached that level yet. Three votes for Pittsburgh, 0:11:06.899 --> 0:11:10.019 seven votes for Baltimore. It's a Week one a f 0:11:10.099 --> 0:11:13.579 C East rematch, the Patriots at home for New Year's Day, 0:11:13.579 --> 0:11:17.299 trying to avenge their early season lost to Miami. The Dolphins, 0:11:17.339 --> 0:11:19.459 clinging to the last wild card spot in the a 0:11:19.579 --> 0:11:22.859 f C, mired in a four game losing streak over 0:11:22.939 --> 0:11:27.139 the sideline and Pitts third concercutive drive that ends in 0:11:27.259 --> 0:11:31.299 an interception. This is a huge game for both squads, 0:11:31.339 --> 0:11:34.139 but the Dolphins will be playing it without to a 0:11:34.179 --> 0:11:38.179 tongue by loas and concussion protocol, so Teddy Bridgewater gets 0:11:38.219 --> 0:11:41.179 the start. The last time he played Week six, he 0:11:41.259 --> 0:11:43.499 threw for a couple of t d s over three 0:11:43.579 --> 0:11:49.819 hundred yards, rating over nineties touchdown. Going against a Bill 0:11:49.859 --> 0:11:52.939 Belichick defense that has the sixth lowest rating aloud and 0:11:52.939 --> 0:11:55.059 who have the second most I n T s in 0:11:55.099 --> 0:11:59.259 the NFL Office back funds, intercept it down the sunline. 0:11:59.339 --> 0:12:03.859 Marcus john has got the speed all the way touchdown 0:12:04.219 --> 0:12:08.579 Patriots plus Miamis propensity to travel through the air also 0:12:08.699 --> 0:12:11.299 sets up New England's pass rush for a nice day. 0:12:11.579 --> 0:12:14.899 Fifty sacks for the year. Josh you Ch and Matt Judon, 0:12:15.059 --> 0:12:18.099 both with double digit bag totals, couldn't break away from 0:12:18.179 --> 0:12:21.859 Judean fifteen and a half sacks on the season from 0:12:21.939 --> 0:12:25.259 Matthew Judon disrupting the quarterback and help in their efforts 0:12:25.299 --> 0:12:28.059 to keep cabs on the Cheetah and the Penguin. Wattle 0:12:28.099 --> 0:12:30.379 and Hill both come in hot. They both had a 0:12:30.459 --> 0:12:33.579 hundred plus yards last week. Tyreek is scored in three 0:12:33.619 --> 0:12:36.059 of the last four games. They haven't been the issue 0:12:36.139 --> 0:12:41.539 during their slide. Loads up and once Tyreek he's gone him, 0:12:41.819 --> 0:12:45.339 they take in found a hole for jail and Wattle 0:12:45.579 --> 0:12:48.579 got a black kids got free water with a speed 0:12:49.379 --> 0:12:53.819 home touch down myavy. As for the Pats offense, just 0:12:54.099 --> 0:12:57.299 you know, hold on tight to the ball at the 0:12:57.499 --> 0:13:01.219 very end that Stevens lost of football sits it, Annie 0:13:01.219 --> 0:13:04.379 claim they've got it and they do the page. Sure 0:13:04.459 --> 0:13:09.019 it's cough it up with seconds to go. Never seen 0:13:09.139 --> 0:13:12.339 anything like that from one team back to back weeks. 0:13:12.579 --> 0:13:15.459 Fumbling late and dramatic fashion is not what your offense 0:13:15.579 --> 0:13:17.419 is supposed to be known for as you make a 0:13:17.539 --> 0:13:21.139 push for the playoffs. But they're o face lacks and identity. 0:13:21.339 --> 0:13:24.819 Ramondre Stevenson averages four point eight to carry. He finished 0:13:24.899 --> 0:13:27.499 under three per last week, has in two of his 0:13:27.659 --> 0:13:30.899 last three outings and being the Dolphins rushed defense versus 0:13:31.019 --> 0:13:33.339 running backs is one of the best and their past 0:13:33.419 --> 0:13:36.219 defense has been one of the worst. In two and 0:13:36.579 --> 0:13:39.339 Mac Jones is coming in off one of his best outings. 0:13:39.539 --> 0:13:41.619 That's a lot of hands, but they all point to 0:13:41.739 --> 0:13:44.419 the Pats going heavy pass this week. Jones had a 0:13:44.499 --> 0:13:47.739 hundred plus rating one of thirty three, two touchdowns, no 0:13:47.899 --> 0:13:51.179 picks versus the Bengals steps up, tries to appoid it, 0:13:51.459 --> 0:13:59.419 Jones on corks dick down and Cincinnati has a very 0:13:59.579 --> 0:14:03.979 tough past defense Miami eight and rating allowed fourth highest 0:14:04.179 --> 0:14:07.459 foleation percentage allowed only eight I n t s all year. 0:14:07.659 --> 0:14:11.819 Throwing for the ends, it is touched down for all 0:14:11.899 --> 0:14:15.059 intents and purposes. This is a playoff game. Loser is 0:14:15.179 --> 0:14:19.219 pretty much out. Winner keeps hope alive. Split vote for 0:14:19.339 --> 0:14:23.619 this one. Five Pats, five for the Fins. Are you 0:14:23.779 --> 0:14:27.339 ready for some good old fashioned mobbing on New Year's Day? 0:14:27.539 --> 0:14:29.819 That's what can happen when a cardinal flies into a 0:14:29.899 --> 0:14:33.539 falcon's territory. I think I'm not an orthodonist, but hey, 0:14:33.659 --> 0:14:36.099 these birds haven't done a great job using their wings 0:14:36.179 --> 0:14:38.859 this year, so we're even and because of that, each 0:14:38.899 --> 0:14:41.779 team's ground game should be front and center this week, 0:14:42.179 --> 0:14:44.859 especially Atlanta, as being they have an offensive Rookie of 0:14:44.939 --> 0:14:48.339 the Year candidate that hardly anyone talks about. Well, there 0:14:48.379 --> 0:14:51.299 were a couple of man sized runs here down inside 0:14:51.379 --> 0:14:53.699 the fifteen yard line. By this young man down of 0:14:53.739 --> 0:14:56.219 b y U Toddler als here. The touchdown run is 0:14:56.259 --> 0:14:58.419 one of the start of the year in the Dirty South. 0:14:58.579 --> 0:15:01.739 Everyone was thinking London might be calling for some hardware 0:15:01.819 --> 0:15:04.339 at year's end. Drake does tend to win a lot 0:15:04.379 --> 0:15:07.219 of awards. Tyler Algier, on the other hand, was getting 0:15:07.219 --> 0:15:13.499 the Peter Griffin treatment. Algeri Algier, Basinger Bassinger. Everyone should 0:15:13.499 --> 0:15:15.659 know his name by now, though, kids sitting on a 0:15:15.739 --> 0:15:18.779 robust four point nine yard per carry figure for the season, 0:15:19.099 --> 0:15:23.339 has eight hundred and seventeen rushing yards. Part of it 0:15:23.419 --> 0:15:28.019 doesn't He's never once had a twenty plus carry game. 0:15:28.219 --> 0:15:31.339 How about rectifying that. Versus Arizona, they have given up 0:15:31.379 --> 0:15:34.979 four point seven yards per carry to running backs in two. 0:15:35.459 --> 0:15:38.499 Makes them a bottom bottom bit band of brothers on 0:15:38.619 --> 0:15:42.699 that front. Oh my goodness, just not being aware right 0:15:42.819 --> 0:15:45.379 there at Tony o' hamilton's got to do a better 0:15:45.539 --> 0:15:48.939 job of being aware as to what is going on. 0:15:49.419 --> 0:15:52.579 Falcon's defense lives in the same neighborhood in this regard, 0:15:52.739 --> 0:15:55.419 have handed out four point five to the RB position. 0:15:55.579 --> 0:15:59.779 Guth Edwards rumbling his way for that first down, big point. 0:15:59.859 --> 0:16:02.699 Those guys get off me keep going, get off me, 0:16:02.979 --> 0:16:05.659 keep going, So that could mean another nice game for 0:16:05.819 --> 0:16:08.819 James Conner seventy nine yards in a touchdown last week, 0:16:08.939 --> 0:16:17.739 seven three yards for the years. The other reason Connor 0:16:17.819 --> 0:16:20.419 should be the preferred method of travel for them. He 0:16:20.619 --> 0:16:24.259 averaged five point three a run versus Tampa Bay. Arizona's 0:16:24.299 --> 0:16:27.779 QB only averaged four point eight yards per pass attempt 0:16:27.979 --> 0:16:30.219 exlely to the year. He wants a deep shot far 0:16:30.419 --> 0:16:33.419 side towards the sideline into double coverage and it's not 0:16:33.699 --> 0:16:36.139 the way. Really had no chance at a pass that 0:16:36.299 --> 0:16:38.659 was well out of bounds and well defendant need to 0:16:38.739 --> 0:16:41.259 update the song. I guess can throw it on a 0:16:41.459 --> 0:16:44.539 dime despite the fact he's try and they call him 0:16:44.579 --> 0:16:48.979 trace McSorley. His pops hate seeing him Clay Plury mcsorle 0:16:49.139 --> 0:16:53.659 throw our septon and this loss will eliminates the Arizona 0:16:53.739 --> 0:16:57.219 Cardinals from any feints off host. So sit back and 0:16:57.299 --> 0:17:00.779 get ready for McSorley versus the reddler. Desmond Ritter, though 0:17:00.819 --> 0:17:03.419 can say he looked much better in his second start. 0:17:03.699 --> 0:17:06.459 He had ninety seven yards in his first outing, went 0:17:06.539 --> 0:17:10.059 two for thirty three for two eighteen yards, rating of 0:17:10.139 --> 0:17:14.019 eighty five point to last week. That's improvement. Here's Ritter 0:17:14.139 --> 0:17:17.099 from the pocket looping for London. A lot of chats 0:17:17.379 --> 0:17:21.139 each quarterback could have some fun. Both teams passed defenses 0:17:21.139 --> 0:17:24.259 are neighbors of Oscar the Grouch. I know not everyone 0:17:24.379 --> 0:17:26.739 has the same tastes, but I'll take what many of 0:17:26.819 --> 0:17:29.539 you will label as a tank Bowl over any one 0:17:29.619 --> 0:17:34.059 of those Wassabi points, Sadia we'd eat, or college bowls. Well, 0:17:34.179 --> 0:17:37.139 that last one might be fun to watch. Actually, everyone 0:17:37.259 --> 0:17:40.339 picked the bird team to win, but only one, Adam Rank, 0:17:40.459 --> 0:17:42.979 took the red and the white kind. The Chicago Bears 0:17:43.019 --> 0:17:45.499 are on the road New Year's Day their season with 0:17:45.579 --> 0:17:48.059 two games left to it. They are in Detroit the 0:17:48.179 --> 0:17:51.739 Lions hoping there is more left to their's after last week, 0:17:51.779 --> 0:17:54.539 though they need wins and luck to make it happen. 0:17:54.819 --> 0:17:56.779 That's a hard field to swallow there. That was a 0:17:56.859 --> 0:17:58.939 hungry team we played, and we didn't look as hungry 0:17:58.979 --> 0:18:01.179 as they do. That's the bottom line. Like a wise 0:18:01.259 --> 0:18:03.939 woman once saying it's so cold in the d and 0:18:04.179 --> 0:18:06.579 eat it is right now. After having their wind streak 0:18:06.659 --> 0:18:10.619 snapped in Carolina, can't cry over spilled milk, though, goal 0:18:10.979 --> 0:18:13.939 when the last two games. See what happens team they 0:18:14.059 --> 0:18:17.339 face this week. Eliminated from the playoff picture on an 0:18:17.419 --> 0:18:21.579 eight game losing streak, the Bears are now three and 0:18:22.099 --> 0:18:26.139 twelve while extending streak to eight. The Lions are part 0:18:26.219 --> 0:18:28.859 of that street too. They beat Chicago in week ten, 0:18:29.059 --> 0:18:31.979 put up four quarter points to come back for the 0:18:32.059 --> 0:18:35.179 wind picked up on the line, I'll to the cover 0:18:35.299 --> 0:18:39.539 the other way to the house. Touch that Bears are 0:18:39.579 --> 0:18:42.259 sitting in second right now. I mean they're sitting in 0:18:42.379 --> 0:18:46.099 second to last. There are Texans win away from finding themselves. 0:18:46.179 --> 0:18:52.019 But the number one draft pick in Bears offense looks 0:18:52.059 --> 0:18:54.179 its best when they can run the ball. They will 0:18:54.219 --> 0:18:59.379 feed David Montgomery plenty this week. Montgomery Montgomery breaking free 0:18:59.539 --> 0:19:03.339 inside the ten, inside the fire. The reason they'll feed 0:19:03.419 --> 0:19:06.699 him a lot lie ins versus running backs in four 0:19:06.779 --> 0:19:09.539 point eight allowed per run last week, gave up a 0:19:09.619 --> 0:19:12.979 hundred plus rush yards to two different backs, and they 0:19:13.019 --> 0:19:16.539 aren't good versus running qbs either. Justin Fields over a 0:19:16.659 --> 0:19:19.779 thousand yards on the year on the ground averages close 0:19:19.859 --> 0:19:24.379 to seven yards a run when he bolts. Just that's gone, Betty, 0:19:24.699 --> 0:19:27.979 He's done it again. It was fields runs that allowed 0:19:28.059 --> 0:19:31.099 them to hang with Detroit in that loss. The Lions 0:19:31.139 --> 0:19:33.899 are still rough when it comes to defending running quarterbacks. 0:19:34.139 --> 0:19:37.139 Six point four a carry allowed. That's bottom three bad 0:19:37.619 --> 0:19:40.059 Now in big trouble fronts down, No, you set the 0:19:40.139 --> 0:19:44.339 tackle left to the five? Did you get in touchdown? 0:19:44.419 --> 0:19:47.939 Theirs Lions aren't facing an elite passing attack. That's good 0:19:48.019 --> 0:19:50.819 news for them since their defense hasn't had much success 0:19:50.979 --> 0:19:57.419 against qbswo Zach Wilson right sideline and it iss a 0:19:57.579 --> 0:20:03.339 tackle down. So you have a Detroit defense at the 0:20:03.379 --> 0:20:06.019 bottom of the twin twenty two points per game charts. 0:20:06.339 --> 0:20:09.539 But the Bears defense lives next door, gave up thirty 0:20:09.619 --> 0:20:12.939 five to Buffalo last week. They are not great protectors 0:20:12.979 --> 0:20:19.539 of the paint either. Just tiptop. Detroit's offense, a top 0:20:19.659 --> 0:20:22.899 ten scoring bunch most games, led by Jared Goff In 0:20:22.939 --> 0:20:26.059 the passing attack. He threw three t D passes last week. 0:20:26.139 --> 0:20:29.859 No picks looking throws end so it is caught touts 0:20:29.899 --> 0:20:32.419 down back to the end zone. D J Chark over 0:20:32.459 --> 0:20:36.059 a hundred yards versus Carolina complete. That's the Charcolate slops 0:20:36.059 --> 0:20:39.419 a metical forty a monro St Brown seventies six yards. 0:20:39.499 --> 0:20:42.259 He has over a thousand, now four receptions away from 0:20:42.259 --> 0:20:46.379 the century mark. First time that's happened in Detroit since Megatron. 0:20:50.939 --> 0:20:55.819 Bears pass defense versus wide receivers specifically nine point to 0:20:56.059 --> 0:21:03.099 rating aloud, so not great. It should be noted though 0:21:03.219 --> 0:21:05.899 Chicago did play Josh Allen well. They picked him off 0:21:05.939 --> 0:21:13.499 two times, throwing a yard running right, almost a Lions sweep. 0:21:13.699 --> 0:21:16.499 Nine votes for the Lions. Adam ranked the Bears back. 0:21:18.499 --> 0:21:21.459 The Cleveland Browns are on the road on New Year's Day. 0:21:21.619 --> 0:21:25.259 Two games left for them, the first against the Washington Commanders, 0:21:25.299 --> 0:21:27.699 who are hoping to play at least three more games, 0:21:28.059 --> 0:21:30.379 have to snap a three game winless streak to do 0:21:30.539 --> 0:21:37.539 its tying up this Christmas tris win against the Washington Commanders. 0:21:37.779 --> 0:21:40.619 Washington still has hope. They have an opponent in front 0:21:40.659 --> 0:21:42.859 of them who doesn't have any left. So can the 0:21:42.899 --> 0:21:46.939 Commanders find some Bachman Turner overdrive on Spotify and get 0:21:47.059 --> 0:21:50.819 pumped up for the game? What did you come out? 0:21:51.419 --> 0:21:56.219 Come on? Washington isn't built to run track meets. Their 0:21:56.259 --> 0:21:59.499 best games pretty much involved them playing good defense, which 0:21:59.539 --> 0:22:02.579 they did not do versus San Francisco gave up thirty 0:22:02.659 --> 0:22:06.819 seven points of goals. They're not gonna get him. You 0:22:07.019 --> 0:22:10.579 can kiss him good. Washington has only given up twenty 0:22:10.659 --> 0:22:13.939 four or more points four times all year. They lost 0:22:14.019 --> 0:22:16.819 all four of those games with the Browns. It's about 0:22:16.899 --> 0:22:19.179 making sure Nick Chubb doesn't go chubble of a hub 0:22:19.259 --> 0:22:22.779 on him. He's Cleveland's best offensive player. Twelve touchdowns on 0:22:22.859 --> 0:22:26.139 the season, four point nine to carry over ninety yards 0:22:26.179 --> 0:22:28.499 in his most recent showing back to the ground game. 0:22:28.619 --> 0:22:31.979 This is m shut out of a cannon as he 0:22:32.059 --> 0:22:36.259 picks up my team. Commanders run defense against running backs 0:22:36.339 --> 0:22:39.419 four per carry aloud held CMC the three point one 0:22:39.499 --> 0:22:42.779 on fifteen tries, fourth hand off to the poll like 0:22:42.859 --> 0:22:44.979 you took pitches at the McCaffery who had hit at 0:22:45.019 --> 0:22:47.619 the fifty yards alight, they got tricky or poured down 0:22:47.659 --> 0:22:50.179 at the backfire from there, they just have to make 0:22:50.219 --> 0:22:52.819 sure they aren't the first team to let Deshaun Watson 0:22:52.939 --> 0:22:55.779 look like d Watts of old forty seven point one 0:22:55.899 --> 0:22:59.019 rating last week no touchdowns and I N T. He's 0:22:59.099 --> 0:23:01.219 thrown two t d s against three I n T 0:23:01.539 --> 0:23:04.019 so far, just a hundred and seventy five point eight 0:23:04.459 --> 0:23:07.459 per game, and his four starts in orange look game 0:23:07.539 --> 0:23:10.499 settles throws and it's je te. Do you try to 0:23:10.539 --> 0:23:13.859 throw a contested ball, it pops in the air, intercepted. 0:23:14.019 --> 0:23:18.139 Washington's past defense not great last week, not spectacular in 0:23:19.499 --> 0:23:22.219 which is what you'd say about their offense to both 0:23:22.339 --> 0:23:25.859 last week and over the year. More again, recover that 0:23:25.899 --> 0:23:30.539 looks like by San Francisco having a quarterback issue as 0:23:30.579 --> 0:23:32.979
