With 3 games per franchise to play this 2022 NFL season, the fight is raging for yet-to-be-distributed playoff berths. If some teams have already stamped their ticket (Bills, Chiefs, Eagles, Vikings, 49ers and Cowboys), others will have to fight to join them and the slightest misstep will be fatal. We Sport tells you all about this NFL 2022 Week 16.
NFL Week 16: Game of the Week
Philadelphia Eagles [13-1] @Dallas Cowboys [10-4] : Sunday at 19:00
It’s the NFL clash of the week with the Philadelphia Eagles (13-1), best record in the entire league, traveling to Texas to face the Dallas Cowboys (10-4), solid fifth in the NFC conference. A hit for the Eagles on Sunday would allow them to permanently lock into first place in the conference, having the tiebreaker over their runner-up, the Vikings. This will be the mission of the partners of Jalen hurts, uncertain for this encounter (see below). But getting to win in Texas is no picnic. With a record of 7 wins in 8 games, the Cowboys validated their Finals ticket, and now teammates from Dak Prescott (2103 yards at 68%) will try to get the best possible reception during the first round of the playoffs. A beautiful poster in perspective AT&T stadium and a real challenge for the Eagles to win on the field of a top home team!
Player to Watch: Jalen Hurts
Philadelphia Eagles [13-1] @Dallas Cowboys [10-4] : Sunday at 19:00
Quarterback of the team with the best record in the NFL with 13 wins in 14 games, Jalen hurts is a legitimate candidate for mvp of the season. With his 3472 rushing yards this season, the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles he’s having a full season, and a win this Sunday on the Dallas Cowboys’ home turf would validate first place. However, the last match against the Bears left some traces, primarily with Jalen Hurts. Shot in the shoulder, remains uncertain for this clash of NFC conference. With the play-offs in sight, there is no doubt about the coach Nick Syriani and Pennsylvania fans will want to watch out. Reply Sunday night to find out if Jalen Hurts will be able to come and help his teammates!
Team to watch: 49ers
Washington commanders [7-6-1] @ San Francisco 49ers [10-4] : Sunday at 19:00
While after injuries at the quarterback position of Three Spears then Jimmy Garoppolo many specialists have seen San Francisco lower the flag, this is not the case. the beginner Brock Purdi, owner-operated, remains on the same basis as its predecessors. Author of a dazzling first match 2 weeks ago against Buccaneers (2 TD passes for 185 yards) then a solid performance against the Seahawks (2 TD passes for 217 yards), the quarterback of the 49ers is trusted by a defense capable of controlling the opponent’s attacks. Against the Commanders Sunday evening the 49ers will want to prove once again that, despite the injuries, they remain competitive!
Question of the Week: The Bengals, the best team in the NFL?
Cincinnati Bengals [10-4] @ New England patriots [7-7] : Sunday at 19:00
Finalist last season, Bengali they had been expected since the start of the season. But after 2 inaugural losses, doubts immediately lingered and questioned their status. But then, later 10 wins in 12 games later including a reference against the chiefs (27-24), Cincinnati back in the race for the first places in the AFC conference and is a candidate for the title. Led by A Joe lair at the top of their game (twice awarded the player of the week trophy), the Bengals display both offensive and defensive qualities. Balanced, the franchise can hope to play in a second consecutive Super Bowl and some voices do not hesitate to say that the Bengals are currently the best team in the NFL.
Thursday’s match
Jacksonville Jaguars [6-8] @New York Jets [7-7]
Out of 3 losses in a row, the New York jets have come down to earth in recent weeks. Still in the running for qualifying for the play-offs, the New Yorkers know that first of all they will pass the successes at home, and this from Thursday during the opening match of the NFL week 16 versus Jacksonville. Of the Jaguars which will necessarily have to impose themselves in New Jersey under penalty of definitive farewell to postseason. As much as this pressure play will ideally launch this new regular season week in the NFL.
