In this special Thanksgiving episode, Nate Tice and Charles McDonald dive into a packed Week 13 slate with plenty of playoff implications. From explosive performances to key matchups, they break down the best matchups of the week, including the Philadelphia Eagles offense, Baltimore Ravens practice and the Chicago Bears & Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game, plus a potential snow game for the Miami Dolphins in Green Bay.
Charles talks about the Eagles’ thrilling win over the Los Angeles Rams and points out that while Philly’s offense wasn’t very efficient, their ability to make explosive plays was the difference. Meanwhile, the Ravens continue to prove their status as a playoff contender, with two hosts highlighting Derrick Henry’s second-half dominance with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Thanksgiving Day games are on the schedule as well, with the Bears facing off against the Lions. Can Chicago’s offense find consistency after a rare strong outing, or will they be suffocated by the Lions’ elite defense? They also break down the Dolphins in the snow against the Green Bay Packers, discuss Miami’s offensive firepower, the cold weather challenge and how the Packers defense could take advantage of the Dolphins’ struggles with the running game. The duo also covers the Chargers against the Atlanta Falcons, who were brutally beaten by Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos.
Other Week 13 matchups include a deep dive between the Arizona Cardinals vs. Minnesota Vikings, with Nate highlighting Minnesota’s block-pulling defense and Arizona’s surprisingly good run defense. Meanwhile, Charles and Nate give their take on Eagles vs. Ravens, with the matchup between Lamar Jackson and the Eagles defense becoming the highlight of the week.
Finally, the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills are discussed, with Charles hoping that Brock Purdy will play and bring San Francisco back to form, although both Charles and Nate agree that the Bills’ defensive speed and offensive depth will likely be too much for the players. 49ers to handle.
