Five Matchups To Watch on Divisional Weekend
- Tyreek Hill vs. Colts secondary: The Colts kept DeAndre Hopkins in check last week, and held the Texans offense to just seven points. Hill will provide a test, but Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore have been excellent down the stretch.
- Quenton Nelson vs. Chris Jones: We got a great clip of Nelson destroying Jadeveon Clowney last week, and this week Nelson goes up against the best defensive lineman not named Aaron Donald. Watching Nelson and Jones battle will be a treat.
- Rams DL vs. Cowboys OL: We are going right back to the trenches for this one. Aaron Donald has been a menace all year long and should win defensive player of the year. The Cowboys still have a great offensive line and will need to protect Dak Prescott and give Ezekiel Elliott rushing lanes.
- Chargers LBs vs. White/Burkhead: The Chargers have surrendered a ton of receptions and yards to running backs this season, and the Patriots have two dangerous backs coming out of the backfield. Los Angeles will need to limit their yards after the catch to get off the field.
- Eagles OL vs. Saints DL: Again to the trenches. The Eagles did a great job limiting Khalil Mack last week, and they’ll have to deal with Cameron Jordan and Sheldon Rankins this week. They need to keep Nick Foles upright.
