Well, Merry Christmas, everybody. We're talking preview of the Christmas games and Saturday

0:05.6

games in the National Football League. It is the audible, Cecil-Lammy, Sigmund Bloom, and

0:10.6

not really great games on Christmas. Sorry Netflix and Amazon or whatever, but the NFL is

0:18.0

going to take over. It's Dallas and Washington, and let's start on the

0:21.5

Dallas side, Sigmund. As we talk about the Cowboys, neither of these teams have anything to play

0:26.7

for, but this is a division rivalry. And, well, they might get a little heated because of that.

0:32.8

Yeah, first of all, I feel sorry for everybody who has to work on Christmas for these games, including my dear co-host, who's going to have to be on the radio in Denver.

0:44.8

But there's plain to talk about.

0:47.0

And in this game, we don't love being reminded.

But that makes him a strong quarterback one for week 17 because

1:07.8

Lamb has kind of led us down this year with Pickens emerging as a co-number

1:12.3

one with that chemistry with Dak Prescott. And then Giovante Williams is in more of a committee.

1:18.1

Only 57% of the snaps after the shoulder stinger in week 15. Still running back to FlexPlay

1:23.9

because we expect scoring opportunities against Washington. Ryan Flannoy, by the way,

1:29.5

has a chance to play after that cheap shot and that knee injury. Not that really affects anything,

1:33.5

except maybe upstack Prescott's ceiling, as Florey has been a big factor in the red zone, had a second

1:39.3

touchdown wiped off the board by a penalty before he went out. And even Jake Ferguson maybe as a

1:44.1

desperation play blast from the past.

1:46.7

But hey, for Dallas, where do we go from here?
