Summary
The holidays brought us a uniquely busy weekend of football. So busy, in fact, that we had to split the Week 16 recap on The Athletic Football Show into two parts. In part one, Robert Mays and Nate Tice focus on Saturday's games. The guys dig into the Eagles-Cowboys thriller, gush over Justin Jefferson and George Kittle, lament the missed opportunity for the Lions, and discuss a whole lot more.
