Week 16 recap: Lions, Vikings race for the NFC 1-seed, while Chiefs nearly put AFC's top spot out of reach
Sobre este episodio
<p>So which team had the best Week 16? It's not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Sure, it might look like the Vikings, who kept pace with the Lions atop the NFC. It might look like the Chiefs, who took an impressive step toward locking up the top seed in the AFC. It might look like the Commanders, who brought back the early season offense in their win over the Eagles. It could even be the Rams, who put themselves on the doorstep of clinching the NFC West. So, who is it? Well, Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen might not answer that question on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. But they will recap Week 16.</p><p><strong>Rundown</strong></p><ul><li>Commanders take down an Eagles team clearly missing Jalen Hurts</li><li>The Vikings chances at the 1-seed...You Have My Attention!</li><li>The Ravens run game...You Have My Attention!</li><li>The potential of the Chiefs offense...You Have My Attention!</li><li>Arizona Cardinals...WTF?!?</li><li>The top of the draft order...WTF?!?</li><li>Michael Penix brings some juice to Atlanta's offense</li><li>A strange win, but a win nonetheless, for the Rams over the Jets</li><li>Joe Burrow keeps on making plays on the move</li><li>Jonathan Taylor's big day and the Colts unlikely feat</li><li>The AFC Wild Card picture</li><li>Drake Maye's zone/man splits</li><li>The latest in Lions trickery</li><li>What Did We Learn Today?</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>Co-Host: Derrik Klassen</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Subscribe to The Athletic Football Show...</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/id1528622068">Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://spoti.fi/3waggUU">Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gWjMSDj7-8j3iCc2ZGo3g">YouTube</a></p><p>Follow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Derrik on Bluesky: @qbklass.bsky.social</p><p>Follow Robert on X: @robertmays</p><p>Follow Derrik on X: @QBKlass</p><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
