In this week’s action-packed episode of Football 301Hosts Nate Tice and Charles McDonald take a deep dive into the best matchups of Week 16, including a complete breakdown of the weekend’s Slop Watch matches and heavyweight matches. First, Tice and McDonald begin with a report on the New York Jets, whose dysfunction continues to grow, particularly as owner Woody Johnson reportedly nixed a trade for Jerry Jeudy based on his Madden ratings. The conversation takes a turn as C Mac reflects on the bizarre, unhinged decisions Johnson has been making for years and how the team’s dysfunction has only gotten worse over time.
From there, the guys move on to some of Week 16’s most intriguing games, including the New York Giants vs. Atlanta Falcons as a slop watch, where Charles asks why Kirk Cousins wasn’t benched earlier and Tice explains What to look out for with Michael Penix Jr. in his first NFL start. Nate also mentions a matchup between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills, which promises to be an exciting duel between rookie QB Drake Maye and Josh Allen before the duo moves on to the automatic slugfest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. With George Pickens out, the Steelers’ offense appears to be in jeopardy – will they be able to keep up with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ strong run defense? The Washington Commanders face the Philadelphia Eagles where they will look to improve on their problems from last game.
Finally, McDonald and Tice conclude with their analysis of Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs, where Patrick Mahomes’ ankle injury could spell trouble for KC, and a Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks duel that promises to be explosive as both teams are dealing with serious injuries have to fight. Finally, Nate and Charles ask two mailbag questions, including thoughts on Jaxon Dart as a potential NFL prospect.
