Episode #218: Lions at Falcons, Week 16 preview

1 hour 22 minutes

This week on the podcast, the guys set the table for the Detroit Lions 2021 Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Cardinals’ review

Lions whopped ’em

8-minute drive to open the game, settled for a FG 3-0

Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown play was well designed, 10-0

Charles Harris came to play – dominated in arguably the best game of his career

AJ Parker PBU on 4th and goal give the Lions ball at the 3-yard line

97 yards TD drive, capped by Goff to Reynolds 22 yd score, 17-0 at the half

Godwin fumbles… again… but Amani Oruwariye save him with an insane interception

Set up a Jason Cabinda touchdown, 24-3

Riley Patterson closes out the day with two more field goals, 30-12

“Out-coached and outplayed” the Cardinals

Roster Moves:

Signed RB Craig Reynolds to the active roster

Placed LB Alex Anzalone on IR with a shoulder injury
