Touchdown Wire’s Week 14 NFL Preview Podcast

Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield get you ready for every Week 14 NFL game with tape notes and advanced metrics!

It’s time to get ready for the last month of the season with the Touchdown Wire Week 14 Preview Podcast! This week, Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield get into the following topics, using tape study and advanced metrics:

  • Why Bill Belichick’s strategy and Josh McDaniels’ adjustments against the Bills were pure genius… and why it would have been entirely different in a weather-neutral situation;
  • Why the Bills might be the AFC East’s third-best team right now (Helllllooooo, Dolphins);
  • Why the Vikings are in trouble on defense, no matter who they face;
  • How the Ravens’ passing game has fallen apart of late, and why it’s about more than Cover-0 blitzes;
  • Why Urban Meyer and Matt Rhule might want to think about going back to school;
  • How the Chiefs’ defensive turnaround became the AFC’s sneaky-big story;
  • How Justin Herbert finally got freed, and what that means for the Chargers;
  • Why the Bengals would be wise to burn last Sunday’s tape and just move on;
  • How Zach Wilson let the game come to him against the Eagles, and why that could also work against the Saints;
  • Why Micah Parsons is the NFL’s most impactful defensive player, and how rare his rookie season really is;
  • Why Jared Goff’s Offensive Player of the Week week is about to come to an abrupt end against the Broncos;
  • Why the Bills’ problems extend beyond power-rushing teams, and how the Buccaneers can exploit them; and
  • Why it’s so important that Sean McVay finally worked with the offense he has, and not the offense he wants.

Watch: Falcons release top 10 plays from 2020 season

The year 2020 won’t be remembered fondly by most people, but that’s especially true when it comes to fans of the Atlanta Falcons.

The year 2020 won’t be remembered fondly by most people, but that’s especially true when it comes to fans of the Atlanta Falcons. After missing the playoffs in 2018 and 2019, the team attempted to make one last run with a slightly-upgraded roster and the results were ugly.

An 0-5 start forced the Falcons to make a coaching change, which turned things around temporarily before the team lost five straight games to finish the season with a 4-12 record. It wasn’t all bad, though. Atlanta found a budding star in LB Foye Oluokun, WR Calvin Ridley had a breakout year, and SS Keanu Neal returned to form after two injury-riddled seasons.

Let’s take a look at the team’s top 10 plays from 2020, courtesy of the Falcons’ Twitter account below.
