NFL Week 18 preview: Vikings-Lions DEEP dive, Bengals-Steelers & Falcons-Panthers


Listen Later

In this episode of Football 301, Nate Tice and Charles McDonald dive deep into the high-stakes drama of Week 18, breaking down the biggest matchups across the NFL, including the highly anticipated showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions. With the 1 seed on the line, Nate and Charles preview what should be a hoss fight for the ages. Will the Lions' defense, dealing with significant injuries, hold up against the explosive Vikings offense led by Justin Jefferson? And can Minnesota's aggressive defense stop the Lions' grinding run game? The guys explore these matchups and more as they analyze what makes this game a must-watch.

Beyond the NFC North, the hosts touch on the Cincinnati Bengals' looming clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with playoff seeding and potential departures (including Tee Higgins’ future) looming large. Nate and Charles also give their take on the Kansas City Chiefs battling the Denver Broncos, with some lighthearted banter about backup quarterbacks and a fun tangent about Carson Wentz's unorthodox presence on the field. The duo also give their thoughts and predictions on the Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints matchups.

As always, the crew wraps up with a mailbag question, where Charles gives his recommendations for books to read if you want to learn more about schemes and football terminology.
