Week 16 recap, part one — Eagles-Cowboys thriller, Justin Jefferson and George Kittle shine, Lions let us down, and more

About this episode

<p>The holidays brought us a uniquely busy weekend of football. So busy, in fact, that we had to split the Week 16 recap on The Athletic Football Show into two parts. In part one, Robert Mays and Nate Tice focus on Saturday's games. The guys dig into the Eagles-Cowboys thriller, gush over Justin Jefferson and George Kittle, lament the missed opportunity for the Lions, and discuss a whole lot more.</p><p>Follow Robert on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/a5412d28-06f1-11ed-950a-03d77e66f349/twitter.com/robertmays">@robertmays</a></p><p>Follow Nate on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/1e5aad94-1f46-11ed-97f2-77ed19c1e4ed/twitter.com/Nate_Tice">@Nate_Tice</a></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>6:30 Cowboys beat Eagles</p><p>30:35 Justin Jefferson is ridiculous</p><p>41:15 Good for Daniel Jones and the Giants</p><p>47:42 George Kittle and the 49ers' wealth of options</p><p>54:02 Texans/Bears battle for the #1 pick</p><p>60:59 Lions let slip a great opportunity</p><p>71:03 Seahawks are running out of steam</p><p>76:15 Bengals nearly let one get away</p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
