Bonus Ep: Is the Lions’ Season in Jeopardy? Cowboys Making a Playoff Comeback; Burrow vs Jackson; The Bears Are Forreal

In this special BONUS episode of Touchdown and Ties, Daddy and I hop on to discuss part 1 of NFL week 13. This is one of our favorite weekends of the season because football is on on Thanksgiving, all the way to Sunday. In this episode, we discuss the Lions getting shut out by the Packers this season and what that means for their playoff implications. We talk about the resurgence of the Dallas Cowboys after they’ve taken down last year’s super bowl competitors in a short week. We then move into Joe Burrow vs Lamar Jackson and wrap up with the Chicago Bears proving they are a team to look out for this year after their statement win vs the Eagles on the road.
