MIDNIGHT VIEWS WEEK 16

Grown man football is here, and week 16 unwrapped a lot of teams identities. Let's review:

Friday 12/25/20

Vikings vs Saints: 52-33. The Vikings forgot to tackle in this game, more embarrassing for Minnesota than impressive by New Orleans.

Saturday 12/26/20

• Buccaneers vs Lions: 47-7. Yes, it was against the Knicks of the NFL, but the Buccaneers win on Saturday was more about them building continuity, consistency, and confidence in each other.

• 49ers vs Cardinals: 20-12. The Cardinals were a major disappointment this season. Cliff Kingsbury needs to bring in a real NFL QB coach to teach Kyler how to play the position at this level.

• Dolphins vs Raiders: 26-25. "You play to WIN the game!!!" One of the wildest finishes to a game I've ever seen.

Sunday: 12/27/20

• Colts vs Steelers: 28-24. Steelers season seemed to be unraveling before our eyes, and then Ben Roethlisberger decided he wants to play football.

• Giants vs Ravens: 27-13. The Giants are so far away from being a good football team.

• Falcons vs Chiefs: 17-14. Raheem Morris has done a super job with this Falcons defense, too bad he can't improve Matt Ryan.

• Bears vs Jaguars: 41-17. The Bears are on the low a scary football team, but I'm not counting on Matt Nagy to lead a team in the playoffs. Jaguars awarded number 1 draft pick.

• Bengals vs Texans: 37-21. I echo JJ Watt's postgame interview

• Browns vs Jets: 23-16. The Jets are on a winning streak! 2020 going till the clock hits midnight

• Panthers vs FC Washington: 20-13. Dwayne Haskins needs to mature, and fast.

• Broncos vs Chargers: 19-16. Justin Herbert sets rookie record for touchdown passes in a single season (28)

• Eagles vs Cowboys: 37-17. Too bad Doug Pederson hasn't put Carson Wentz to play secondary, they might have to actually hold themselves accountable now.

• Rams vs Seahawks: 20-9. Seahawks defense is coming alive, and just in time. Jamal Adams may be the best player in football not named Aaron Donald.

• Titans vs Packers: 40-14. Packers dominated this game. Titans may have been exposed tonight.
