Nate Tice和Charles McDonald讨论了第13周NFL比赛中一些最有趣的比赛。他们首先分析了猎鹰队与闪电队的比赛,其中Kirk Cousins的四次拦截是猎鹰队失利的主要原因。尽管猎鹰队的进攻数据优于闪电队,但Cousins的失误葬送了比赛。Charles McDonald对此感到非常失望,认为这是一场猎鹰队本来可以赢下的比赛。 接下来,他们讨论了老鹰队和乌鸦队的比赛,这场比赛的结果可能因为Justin Tucker的三次失误而有所不同。Tucker本赛季表现不佳,这给乌鸦队带来了很大的困扰。 之后,他们谈到了维京人队在对阵红雀队的比赛中后期反超比分,以及安东尼·理查德森带领小马队在对阵爱国者队的比赛中最后时刻完成绝杀。最后,他们分析了喷气机队主场输给海鹰队的比赛,并对喷气机队的表现进行了批评。 Charles McDonald详细分析了Kirk Cousins的四次拦截,认为每一次拦截都是糟糕的传球造成的。他指出,即使在比赛最后时刻,Cousins仍然犯下严重的失误,导致猎鹰队输球。他还批评了Young-Way Koo本赛季糟糕的表现,认为他的失误也影响了比赛结果。他认为猎鹰队的防守表现不错,但Cousins的糟糕表现掩盖了这一切。他最后表达了对猎鹰队未来前景的担忧,认为球队可能需要进行人员调整。 在讨论老鹰队和乌鸦队的比赛时,Charles McDonald认为老鹰队以乌鸦队希望的方式赢得了比赛,即通过强大的地面进攻在比赛后期压制对手。他再次批评了Justin Tucker本赛季糟糕的表现,认为这给乌鸦队带来了很大的困扰。 在讨论其他比赛时,Charles McDonald对维京人队的防守表现印象深刻,认为他们很好地限制了对手的进攻。他还对安东尼·理查德森和小马队在最后时刻的绝杀感到兴奋,并对喷气机队的表现进行了批评,认为他们本赛季的表现令人失望。
